Family Reunions

The Chinese Lunar New Year had come and sort of gone! Traditionally, there will be the Reunion Dinner on the Eve Night and most Chinese families will share a dinner together. We had that on Saturday 17th February and there was in total 25 people and quite a few could not make it. It was a joyous time, and my son Jay was the star attraction simply because he was missing for the past 10 Reunion Dinners!

Cousins had plenty to catch-up for the past year and for the oldies, a time of recalling past funny and hilarious incidences. All in all it was a wonderful Reunion Dinner and it ended with the usual giving away of Red Packets to the younger ones from the elders! Well to those who are not familiar with Chinese Traditions, a Red Packet is just some money wrapped in red paper or envelopes.

On the first day and second day of the New Year, we were all visiting relatives and friends and usually we return home with a stomach full of food and drinks and a big smile on our faces! New Year is really a joyous time for young and old and thats why it is the greatest festival among the Chinese world wide.

It was also a very tiring time for the older people like me and Rock. Every night we just dropped onto the bed and the minute our heads touched the pillows we were off! It was also a time where we Chinese bloggers do not have time to blog! Too much activities and visits.
