Happy CNY ??

Nostalgia

Sprawled across the lush empty field,
listening to the sweet melodic lullaby of the soft gentle breeze.
Busking under the moon's faint silent glow,
reminiscing the simple joys of a childhood I had already lost.


It's the lunar new year once again... delicious delicacies seducing my taste buds...more small talks with uncles, aunties and cousins you would probably only get to see annually as well as the timely hongbaos to supplement my coffers. Anyway just for the record, I've certainly nothing against CNY...just the fleeting feeling that this year's CNY to be somewhat rather muted. Staring into the weather beaten faces of my relatives, mostly left wrinkled by time, I wonder...how time flies.

Perhaps it is me always getting stuck in the past...the once rowdy cheerings and the innocent laughters of children during CNY has now been replaced with formal and almost business-like conversation on topics ranging from politics to the latest COE prices. Amusing it may be...afterall time will change a person. Many of my cousins are already attached, married or parents to a family...making their mark in their profession...well into their thirties and living a much settled life...leaving me as perhaps the infant of my generation to wellow on about the joys of the past. Man grow up...but it just never dawned upon me the rate of which the changes had occurred. The usual vegetarian lunch date was still preserved after all these years...a fortunate mark of tradition that has yet to be lost to the sands of time...hopefully never.

I'm nineteen and going onto my second decade of my life...an uncle many times over...a girlfriend-less NSF...but of course still a boy at heart.

My CNY 's resolution ??.....
My family to enjoy good health and prosperity...everyone to have their wishes realized...a GF and a driving license.......haha
