In the past, I had never really enjoyed having a crowd over at my home on Chinese New Year. Had always felt it was troublesome and noisy. But my mindset has changed a bit this year.
Went to Dilong’s place on the second day. It was really crowded with his relatives, and our guys (though we all cramped into Dilong’s room and they gambled their time away).
Spent the 3rd day afternoon at Mrs Yeo’s place again. But I brought along dear to let my 2nd mum give her stamp of approval. It was quite a crowd over there too. With the usual suspects who turned up every year, plus the few gals who were also quite attached to “mum” too. Adrian and me were the only ones who brought along their significant others, with Hua Qiang promising to do the same the next year.
Then as usual, YQ, JS, Bek and XL moved over to my place for “Fo Tiao Qiang”. It felt better to have some frens over at home to liven up the place. Otherwise to have an empty home full of untouched new year goodies really feels quite bad.
Be Thankful that you have to clear up the mess after a party, for it means that you still have friends celebrating with you…
Guess I’m really getting old….
