So, CNY came and went in a flash. It's the first time in many many years that I didn't watch the CNY countdown on Ch 8. It's the first time in many many years that I didn't play mahjong or in between on CNY. And it's probably the first time that I'm not at popo's house to have reunion dinner with them. Sob. Everything feels kinda different here. Yeah yeah. It's good that we still had potluck and steamboat, we played blackjack and texas, and we ate goodies that the wives baked or brought back from singapore. But I guess, something is still lacking somewhere. And well, that thing, is kinship.

I think I need to write more posts in chinese, so that next time Mummy can read and understand what I'm writing about. Hehe. Well, anyway, jw and I are currently watching "Wo de yi wan mian bao", Love or Bread. A new Taiwanese serial by Joe Cheng and Ariel Lin. That is, Zheng Yuan Chang & Lin Yi Chen! =) Kinda like it, funny, real, and lovey dovey. First time that both the male and female leads are poor. Many serials that we have watched, either the guy is a prince or the girl is a princess or either one of them is from a well-to-do family. This time round, both are poor and need to scrimp and save just to even have three meals. I kind of prefer this storyline.

Would you prefer love or bread?

Hard to choose, right. I dunno, but I guess I will be a 'love' person anytime, not 'bread' person. I won't mind scrimping and saving as long as I am happy together with my loved one. =) I don't mind not having car, not living in nice apartment, not able to go spas or facial, not being able to eat luxury food, not being able to buy any branded bags. I really think love is much more important than all this. True love can't be bought with money.

That said, of coz, I'm very xing fu and though we are not rich and all, jw has been able to bring me to travel like going to US! =) He's right in saying that our money is mainly spent on travelling, because we don't buy alot of other stuff for ourselves nor do we splurge and shop alot. =p Well well.

Yes dear. Thank you! We will save up from now and build up a cosy home and family next time. Small but warm, cosy, and filled with love in every inch of the house. =) Lalalala...

May the year of the ox be a great one for us, for our families, for our friends, and for everyone we love...
