Another year has passed.
Dragon year almost finished and The year of Snake is just around the corner.
And, always this time of the year, I will get super homesick as I miss the younger days,
That I celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with my family, go house to house visiting,
And of course collecting red packets, as a best wishes from our family, relatives and friends.
Well, having to celebrate Chinese New Year by my own,
I learnt how to make Chinese New Year dishes and little snacks and treats.
There's something called BBQ pork or as Chinese people say "long yuk"..
Well, I tried asking and seeking opinion from lots of people,
So I finally tried it today, and of course, nothing taste better like what I had for the pass 20 years.
Sometimes, makes me wonder, something can never be replace and something will always stay as our memory and it will be cherished as long as we live.
Playing Chinese New Year songs in my computer makes me thinking of the atmosphere in my country.
Well, what we always do, the day before CNY, have a family reunion dinner, and go for late night market to get all the things for CNY. And after that, the most exciting part, is to go over my grandparents house to stay for 5 days of CNY, and all my cousins will be there, and that is why CNY is one of my most looking forward festive.
All this thing makes me realize, if something broken, you can easily fix or buy a new one to replace.
But things like memory and the taste that you once had during childhood, will never be able to replace.
I like Chinese dumplings a lot. I remember one of my auntie is very good in making those,
And I will never forget how it taste. Although now I might not be able to taste it anymore,
I will always remember.
Well, looking forward to the Year of Snake..
Hopefully its a good year for me and to others too ^^
