Comparing to New Year, Lunar New Year seems more meaningful to me. Typical Chinese I am.

But sadly, over the years, house-hopping had lessen gradually. My family is a really small one, with my mum only having one sister and each of them have two children each. My father's side have one additional brother, but he had not been in contact with us since I was in primary school and had recently moved to a far far away place. Another close relative, my grandma's sister, had also moved to that far far away place a just slightly before 2012. Being Chinese tradition, we can't visit them this year.

I don't really have cousins my age either. There's a group of them, but they formed their own 'group' as my family is not that close to them either. So that only left my mum's sister's family and my father's sister's family. Pretty small ya?

Lunar New Year is like chinese-christmas to me. I love baking cookies to give away and for relatives who come visiting to munch on. It's a Chan-family tradition pass down from my mother. She used to do this, but it had became me now.

That's why home-visiting to Mr Lee's family had always been terrifying! His relatives are in tons! Not numbers. But its hard for him to comprehend because he's already used to that massive amount of people. It's really funny thinking about it. This is how different we are.

Its going to be Dragon Year in 30mins..
I hope everyone will have a smooth sailing year ahead with the Water Dragon.
Regardless school, work, relationship, family, friendship, financial and any other thing..
