Happy Lunar New Year

Another year of Chinese New Year arrived again. Every year as I grow older, Chinese New Year has become less exciting for me. Chinese New Year has become a normal public holiday to me. Every Year is the same, going to relatives' house to visit and give red packets to the younger generation. This year is the same, but with a holiday trip on the 3rd day of Lunar New Year, which is tomorrow, make it different for this year.

Day 1 of the water dragon year, which has quite a lot of rainfall for this year, Jerlyn and I will go to my parents house for the traditional mee sua for breakfast. After that, we went to visit my sister first, and then go to my 2nd uncle house to visit my dad's relatives and my aunt house to visit my mum's relatives. This year with Cyndi pregnant, we are feeling the heat as everyone is asking when is our turn? There are only two couple who are married but haven't had kids so naturally the arrows will be aimed at us and Jaymee and Calvin. For Jaymee and Calvin, I suppose they are trying for baby as Jaymee was saying that they had married for three years, it is about time to have kids when Jaymee met us for insurance talk. For me and Jerlyn, we are trying too. But for both of us, we are not so firm that we must have kids in this dragon year. We were trying to take nature at it course so that we won't be so stress about it.  

Let's see how our 3rd anniversary trip to Bali will turn out to be baby dance trip or just a normal anniversary relaxation trip.

A New Year, A New Beginning

A new year has started, I have also decided to end a chapter and start a new beginning. It is time for a change after almost 11 years of work. Though there is fear in me that after so many years in the comfort zone, I think changes must be made to move on. There will be a lot of uncertainty in the future, but if I keep a positive mindset, I would be able to pass through this few months of transition period. Life will be tough financially so I need to keep track on myself more often now. Jerlyn has been wonderful, giving me the support that I need. she knew that by changing, I will improve more, rather than staying put in the same small well for so many years. Hope this year will be a smooth year.

A new year has started, my new school term started too. Went for my first lesson till now, I was still warming up for the lesson as I was too tired because of work. Heard that the results for the last semester will be out on the first day of Chinese New Year, what a way to celebrate new year.
