This

is how I spend my Chinese New Year this year:

Firstly, I got my heart shattered into pieces one day before the purportedly "auspicious" First Day of CNY. Secondly, I had a really sumptuous Reunion Lunch with my dearest family members. All credits to my mum for preparing the usual, but still, all-important dishes. Photos to be uploaded to Facebook soon =)

Amid the raucous laughter that enveloped the atmosphere at my aunt's house, I still can't help but think about the way you posed for my camera. I still can't help but think about how much happier I would be if you were with me, albeit not physically. I don't wanna believe that we were not meant to be together. I wonder why did you not reply all my messages. I wonder why did you not pick up any of my calls. I wonder how are you spending your Chinese New Year?

Dinner was really awesome. We were treated to a pyrotechnical display of cooking skills by my fourth aunt. She's the man! Each and every dish was really excellently prepared. The wine was superb, too. The desserts, sublime (notably the apple crumble). Ah, the gastronomical delights Chinese New Year brings upon us!

Happy Chinese New Year to all~!
