My memories on previous Chinese New Year
Gong Xi Fa Cai! Time flies and its Chinese New Year eve now… what you will eat for the reunion dinner? :p as for me, I will be going to Joey’s house and then to Duc’s house hur hur… then will be coming home and will get myself finish Jeff’s assignment.
I missed the time I celebrated Chinese New Year back home with daddy and all relatives. This is the second year I celebrate my Chinese New Year in Australia… the last Chinese New Year that I celebrate back home was Year 2003, but that was an incomplete one… the most complete Chinese New Year I ever celebrate was year 2002, that was a Year with daddy around and all cousins are back for the Chinese New Year.
How I celebrate my complete Chinese New Year? Well, a week before Chinese New Year, I will be going shopping with Mummy and sisters for our new clothes and new stuffs, then we will be spending a week time to take our own sweet time to clean up the house that we will always rearrange all the furniture as well as put on the decorations for Chinese New Year.
In 3 days before the Chinese New Year, I will follow mummy to the market and buy all the foods that we are going to cook in Chinese New year eve… in Chinese New Year eve, I will always help mummy in the kitchen cleaning all the food as well as all the eating culinary, and eating utensils… then right after daddy is home, we will start eating our reunion dinner, which we had Steamboat or BBQ for most of the years…
In the first day of Chinese New Year, we will be going to grandparent’s house which is my mum’s side one, I don’t know why we never celebrate Chinese New Year with dad’s side family but our routine will never change till my dad passed away… normally first day of Chinese new Year is the day that we collected most of the Ang Pao… which all relatives like my aunts, uncles, my grandpa’s siblings, my mum’s cousins and everyone will gather in my grandparent’s house… then we will go to great grandparent’s house to visit my grandma’s siblings as well as start all the gambling session there…
I don’t really gamble a lot as I will always lose in gambling :s… anyway I will always be the one who serves drinks, foods, talk to all the elderly and sitting next to cousins to give comment on their cards games…. I like the time when we had few cars departs from grandparents house to great grandparent’s house… is like a trip for us :P… then we will leave our great grandparent’s house back to grandparent’s house and spend our whole day in serving all friends as well as relatives….
In second day of Chinese New year, nothing much will happen, unless Mum and dad’s friend will visit us in our house… or else I will normally spent my second day for sleeping :P kekekek… what to do? My cousins and friends addressed me as Sleeping Beauty LOL…. Then we will be going to my aunt’s place at night for dinner…
The third day will be different in every year…. Because third day onwards, we can do whatever we like without spending time with families… I got it different in every year, the most unforgettable one the year 2001 which me and my friends had went to Batu Pahat and Johor Bahru for our New Year trip, besides the 2002 is fun too, where everyone from my mum’s family drive up to Genting Highlands for our New Year trip…
And that is basically the most complete Chinese New Year memory that I’ve got… in year 2003, even though there is no complete Chinese new Year, but I’ve spend most of my times with friends and cousins… we drove to everywhere in town as well as enjoying all the firecrackers, fireworks and most of all the Kong Ming lantern… that is the fun one, which we will write our wishes on the lantern, then we will light up the candles at the bottom, when all the heat generated in the lantern space, then it will fly up to the sky… it was really a fun one because we had it almost everyday in year 2003 Chinese New year…
In year 2004, I’ve celebrate my new year with Violet’s and Kevin’s family, besides Kevin and Duc had ‘kidnapped’ me to their house for gambling session LOL… never been to the Chinatown in Chinese new year session yet :P… but will go there in this year… and so… there goes some of my memories in my Chinese New year for the pass few years…. I got to go now as Joey is here…
Had my Ang Pao from my aunts and uncles :P… anyway Got my second Valentine’s present already LOL… and will be receiving the third one soon…. Had a set of necklace and chain for my second Valentine’s day… and got a big hamper from my god father’s friend… so there goes some gifts for this New Year :P
Once again, Gong Xi Fa cai!!! And not forgetting, I am listening all the Chinese New year song while I am typing this blog LOL… Okay have fun everyone…. Wishing you all have a Healthy, Wealthy and prosperous year :P… tata
