Chinese New Year

Not celebrating Chinese New Year for the first time makes me feel everyone needs to have a new year celebration in whatever new year they believe in be it Hari Raya, Christmas, 1st of Jan or anything ...

For all 22 years in my life, I used to think and believe that Chinese New Year is just a celebration ... it is just a routine every year for every Chinese people. When something becomes a routine, you will feel as if nothing when the day comes. Because it is so routine, you feel it is just like a normal day of big gatherings, big lunch and dinner and so on. However, spending my first day of CNY in the rig, second and the rest of the day in the boring office without anyone wishing you a single "Happy CNY"...

It makes me appreciate the fact that Chinese New Year is not a routine for me anymore at this point of time, I need to celebrate Chinese New Year with the people who celebrate it to remind myself everything has gone well, everyone is here and we are moving on into a brand new year full of spirit.

I think I will defiantly looking forward to 2010's Chinese New Year and will do anything to make sure I celebrate it with the people who I care and the people who care about me.
