Seems like most people think that this lunar new year doesn't have much festive feelings to it... well... i feel so too... maybe cos the lack of school life contributes to the lack of enthusiasm for festivals? ha.. i have no idea, just a suggestion.
Lunar new year for our family is definitely more simple this year. simpler decorations. simpler renunion dinner. simpler clothes. somehow the older i get the less exciting is chinese new year to me. i used to get very excited when new year is near. used to fuss & wanna play a part in the purchase of new year goodies, now i don't even know what we have. the tradition of wearing NEW clothes & shoes used to be sacred. now i don't really mind wearing old stuff. guess that's part of growing up, you get more indifferent about simple things... i don't wanna grow up.. =P
Oh but i'm still pretty excited about the good food part. *slurps.. i hereby officially declare that my favourite chinese new year goody is...... pineapple tarts!! for now. after angbaos of course.
I can whine as much as i want!!! *grins
