Happy time always gone with the wind very fast. CNY holiday day is over, it's time to get back to working mode. As we grown up becoming older, the ways we roll over CNY is changing too.
- At very young time, as young as Kindergarten, we like to join elder cousins to play card games, like 21points (bom bom bom bom bom), bull fighting (no cow run, no cow run), prawns & crabs (buy buy buy buy, stop, open, buy buy buy buy, ...), .... Each bet we put in 10 cent or 20 cents :o . All relatives are enthusiastic in playing, very enthusiastic.
- As we grown not too young, we upgraded our bets, we typically put 1 or 2 dollars :? . We also learn from TV to play like GOD.
- As we grown up further, we can afford larger bet, and also become greedy :d , so we also changed to different types of games. Games that can accomodate many people, hopefully 1 round table, each game only lose little, but win a lot. 8)
- As we grown up older, elder cousins are getting married one by one, having babies, ..., we are getting into working life too. Naturally, we can afford even larger bet. But, we actually lost the enthusiasm we had before. Elder cousins are busy with their babies. Older generations save their energy, less home cookings nowadays.
- ...... what do we do in the next Chinese New Year? Will you be busy with your kids? or busy with your hubby/wife? Will you actually still come back for CNY? ...... I wonder......

Hahaha, in deep thoughts
Hahaha, in deep thoughts again hey? I think I'll make an effort to come back every CNY if I can.But as I grow older the time I spend here for CNY would most likely shorten. I'd prefer to use my money for travelling around the world and because we have limited annual leave a year so...But then again, that's just me though. ;)

Ah, we do plan to go back to KK when things are a bit more settled in Bunbury. Earliest would be next year, if not, the following year. After all, my family is still there, and my sister is still in Kindergarten!

I learn that we have to cherrish 'things' that we still have. :) And we cant assume those 'things' are always there waiting for us. ;)
