Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year
Spent it thinking. And missing home.
I miss:
1) My family. The family gatherings at my house, though Dad's one of the younger sons. The raucous laughter at the dinner table, the gambling, the teasing, the fussing over food.
2) My friends. Geez, I haven't met them for ages.
3) The food. Need I say more? Fried prawns. Angzhao pork. Stewed pork trotters in black soysauce. Steamed fish Teochew style. Stewed duck in spices. Vegetables cooked just right. And much much more. Dammit.
4) The smell of gunpowder. Firecrackers, man. Ask my friend Jo about where to get the longest firecrackers, and he'd tell ya. Hehehe.... It's Kuching. What's CNY without the firecrackers?
5) The visiting. Last year when I stopped, we'd done 13 houses from 10-4. I wonder what's this year's record? :P
I MISS CNY. I miss home. This is the FIRST time since 2001 that I've ever felt homesick. Shit....
