Time flies. Tomorrow will the last day of the year of the Bull according to the Chinese Lunar calendar. Most Chinese members will travel back to their parents' homes to celebrate the reunion dinner....and then welcome the New Year. Next year will be the year of the Tiger. It is predicted that the Tiger will enter the new year with a ferocious roar. After being hiding in his cave for so long, it is hope he will indeed roar his way into the new year. So, everyone can expect something exciting next year.
This will be the first Chinese New Year i will spend without the presence of mum. All said and done, i still missed her very much....the matriach of the family and the director of operations. This time around there is no one to direct us on what dishes to prepare and cook for the celebration. So, we just cook what we like to eat. This year though, we have lots of cookies and biscuits...gifts from friends. It is a good practice exchanging cookies...then we do not have to make so many types. Also, we get to sample each other's cookies.
Christina and Peter will be celebrating CNY in Sydney this time. I am so glad to know she will be celebrating the reunion dinner with her friends from HK and China. It is a pot bless session, so she too will be able to sample each other's cooking too.
I'm taking this opportunity to wish every one reading this a very Happy and Prosperous New Year.....and God's choicest blessings. Till then.......
