CNY 2009

Chinese new year this year for me is........different....CNY visiting for me used to be like a task to be done...it used to be all about efficiency and effectiveness...kinda like work...haha, well, may be not tat serious but when i looked back now, my CNY visiting used to be quite...RUSHED and full....first day of CNY was always about visiting close friends and relatives and second day was always about visiting as many other friends, colleagues, acquaintances and friends of friends/colleagues...we used to visit 25++ houses in a day and with 4 or 5 car full of people....you would think how we managed to visit so many houses in a day and eat so much "CNY goodies" in a day...well, this required a lot of planning and techniques...hahaha....sounds very professional and yet scary and overdemanding...first few houses, we usually spent longer time..about 30 mins and as time passed by, we sped up our CNY visit...a visit became a drop by...haha...after 10 mins and a glass of water, we sped off to another house and repeat the same process...that was dropby without quality so this year, we redefined and restructured out routine CNY plan....we only visit close friends and usually stayed there for 1 or 1.30 hours...chit chatting and catching up and having a lot of fun...no more rushing...as we get older, i think we put more emphasis on the spending quality time with people who are closer to us, which is also a more meaningful way of spending time....eventhough we didnt get to go to as many houses as we used to be and with so many car full of people, we were having more fun and kinda realised the meaning of CNY :) i have to say, eventhough my CNY this year is somewhat quiet and relax, i had LOTS of fun... i look like this this year \(^^)/...the only thing i wish now is that....all shops, pls open la...i wanna eat some kuching food before i hop on the plane~~~~~ *make a wish* QUOTES OF THE YEAR: Beginnings are often scary, endings are often sad, but it's the middle that counts. You should remember that when you find yourself at the beginning. ~Steven Rogers~

yeah, we put more emphasis on Quality than Quantity this time. I like it this way too :)

Hi hi Jane, yeap..I definitely can feel the difference this year although I'm never a FULL follower throughout your hectic visitation. This year I felt you guys have slowed down (hope not due to ageing) in ur visitation as in putting more time at each house and really share more...I kinda like it much much more this year...thanks for visiting me on the 2nd day..really privileged to have all of u dropping by and bringing me to the one and only house that I visited this year..haha...God bless u..take care as u go back to HK ya...:)
