Finally, the big day arrived. It's 除夕the last day of the last month of the lunar year. And of course the most significant part of the day is the reunion dinner. Made my way to mum's place and as usual, the brothers and sisters together with niece and nephew were all gathering there. For a change, we had steamboat dinner, with very sumptuous spread of meatballs, chicken, pork, fish slices, vegies, etc. It's lots easier for mum to prepare since there is less cooking required. A good alternative to the traditional reunion dinner which mum used to make every year. Anyway, guess she's already advancing in years and time to retire from preparing these elaborate dinners. Hmmm... wonder what's for next year's reunion dinner..... anyway, gave her a big angpow as a gesture for well wishes.
The streets seems so empty. Guess everybody's home taking reunion dinner still. Remembered last year's new year eve, I had to rush back to the control centre to rectify some system problem. Though I didn't miss out on the reunion dinner since the problem was solved very quickly, however, such events leaves lasting impressions.... heavy responsibilities and stress in that job. sigh~
In comparision with last year's incident, the night's scene now looks so serene and peaceful.... And, what's more important than to have family around you? I think I am of all people, really blessed..... :)
