Today is Chinese New Year Eve and during Chinese New Year Eve,
Every family will sit down together to have reunion lunch/dinner. And
for me, I never once had reunion lunch/dinner before. Every year,
I always try to picture my family having reunion together as I really
envy those families that sit down together to have reunion together.
Not only during Chinese New Year Eve , during normal days. My
family dont sit together to have meals together , either do I have family
outing. Sometimes I wonder & many thoughts came across my mind.
It may be easy to sit down together to eat but sometimes it just too
hard for it to happen as not everyone in the family come home at the
same time. For my family, everyone of us just have come home at
different timing and if we were to wait for everyone to be back and
eat , it will probably be midnight already.
I always always always wish to eat down together as a family and
wanted to have a family photo as we never had a full family photo too.
And today , Yes today. I made these two things that I wish happen.
Idk how to express that feel of happiness , that moment of joy.
I went to Jp Ntuc Fairprice Extra ytd to shop for steamboat stuff
alone with Evon's mum , sister , godfather and Evon. The worst
thing is there was totally no trolleys & Ntuc is crowded will people.
Wanted to ask people for the trolley after they down their payment
but many were full of things. I bet most of the trolleys are at the
carpark "trolleys point". Hahaha, Well anw they bought chalet stuff
while I bought steamboat stuff as I called my sister and plan to have
a reunion steamboat lunch at her place today. She agreed and told
me she will settle the things in the morning today too. Text my
brother and ask him if he is working and lucky he say is the evening.
And Dad wont be working. So about half of the plan is settle.
Everyone free and the food. Sadly to say my brother-in-law cant
join as he have meeting. But anw I wake up early in the morning
today and showered, then ask everyone in the family to bath.
I knew Dad will always go to kopitiam early in the morning when
he never work , so when everyone almost done bathing I called
him and ask him to come home. And when he came home , I ask him
"Eat already?" He reply "Where got place to eat, kopitiam so full" &
in my mind , I so glad he haven eat. So I told him we going sis place
for reunion lunch and he say okay. I went over to my sister place
with my 2nd sister while my brother wait for Mum and Dad.
Ohyah, my sister place is just few blocks away from my block.
Sister was already preparing the food and everything. I help out
with what is needed and my feeling was super excited and happy.
The moment when we 2nd sister saw Dad Mum and brother
coming up , I feel even happy. Before we sat together to eat , to
took a few shots of family photos and I can see how happy is
Dad and Mum. You never know how the feeling I had unless you
experience it. Is like "Yes finally a family photo and the smile in
each of their faces , and the laughters that I heard during the shots"
Then we sat together and start having steamboat and I just cant
stop telling myself , my wishes came true and not just one but two.
And then I realise "You can make a difference" is really a can.
Then I went off after the reunion lunch as I head to Pasir Ris,
downtown east chalet to meet Evon Elaine as our godfather book
a chalet. Then acc them for lunch and head to room as Auntie
is in the room , preparing all the steamboat food and bbq stuff.
Ate abit of steamboat again but the rest is gonna save for tmr
steamboat + bbq and there will be more people coming , I guess.
Gonna enjoy myself here and of course I gonna miss my family ):
I feel bad for not spending the First few days of CNY with my
family but Im glad I did had a reunion lunch with my family today.
Currently blogging with Elaine's laptop will lying on the bed :)
