Chinese New Year this year, I have to admit, is by far the best one that I've had my entire life. With a little spicing up with my brother's wedding, it is without doubt, truely amazing. I had an incredible time attending big family gatherings and having conversations with cousins that I never really talked to. Sometimes I deem myself to be really dumb, for trying to disconnect with my dear cousins as much as I could, which I still don't really know why I did.
Besides meeting family members, I had a really great time catching-up with my friends. This year, I actually realize that I've grown apart from them, which is a pity. There was one time that I even tried to distance myself, and then blame them for trying to isolate me. I honestly don't really know what was happening to me. Was it PMS? Or just paranoia? Well, whatever it is, it has got to stop like seriously. So, I took Chinese New Year as a time to reconnect with them since they were all home for the celebration. I even took the first step to invite myself to a really close friend's house so I could have a little bonding session with her, and I found out how much that I've missed.
I've actually come to realize the many flaws that I have, and I would definitely like to make a change, for myself and for the people around me. Sometimes you just have to stop worrying and start taking chances and risks. It is always better to say "what-if" now than to say "what-if" when you age. This celebration had taught me so many things, and I can say that I've grown up a little, spiritually.
My family photo! Well, we're all looking at another camera :(
Me, my brother, new sister-in-law and my two dear cousins. Had a wonderful chat with them.
Of course, the lovely gang. :)
The little chicken is about to evolve into a dinosaur, better watch out!
