chinese new year

It's CNY! A time of sudden increase in fats intake, sugar intake, and extended family lunch and dinner gatherings. No doubt I feel that these activities seem so what routine-ish, but I suppose they are in place for a reason. It is during this time of the year that those usually cold carparks of older estates are filled with nice cars. And the normally stationery lifts are kept busy. I guess the older folks are happiest at this time of the year when they finally see their numerous grandchildren and children fill their quiet homes. They say goodbye asking them to visit them more. Yes, the young ones would definitely want to, in fact that hearts might even melt at such a request, but ultimately how many can afford to do so? "It's the lifestyle, not us." the young ones quietly assured themselves.

I am glad to be able to visit you all year after year. I do like CNY gatherings for a record. =)
