This is the third year since I have not celebrated Chinese New Year with my family as I am in New Zealand. No words can express my feeling of how much I miss the time with my family.
Everyone knows that I hate to eat vegetables, but most of them do not know the best dish that I have had in my life is the vegetables cooked by my father. My father cooks only once per year, which is a vegetable dish on the first day of Chinese New Year. I am regret that I did not learn to cook from my father, as I have no chance to eat that anymore. The recipe is lost forever!
We visit relatives on CNY, and they usually prepare a lot of foods and snacks for visitors. Every time when we visit relative’s house, my mother will be very embarrassed because my brother and I kept eating! She has two greedy kids. 😛 Luckily my sister is normal. My mother always blames me and my brother for being greedy. I really miss that time.
In my office, someone asked for my help to make some Chinese New Year decorations. I wrote some Chinese words and also made some decorations with Angpau. Actually my art is very bad. I am surprised to know that they like the ‘fishes’ that I made, and I am really glad that they like it, but I have to admit that the word that I wrote is very ugly! >.<
I have bought too many Angpau, so I also made some decoration for my workstation. Even if no one celebrates Chinese New Year with me here, I will still turn on my CNY mood. 🙂 Even if no one having reunion dinner with me, I will still buy a good dinner for myself. 🙂
Next year I will definitely be at home for Chinese New Year.
