Secret War Journal[23 January 2012]
Ah, so Chinese New Year had arrived.
Though I had fun during the Chinese New Year, I cannot help but notice that the Chinese New Year spirit in Singapore has died down relatively, compared to previous years. Am I the only person to feel that?
If I am not, I wonder why this is so. Is it due to the economic uncertainty? Or is it due to the shorter duration of holidays?
No matter, what I like most about Chinese New Year would be the reunion dinner. Sometimes, I guess, we just need a reason to meet up together as a family. It is the one time of the year where the whole extended family get to meet up, apart from my grandmother's birthday.
I think we have a lot of stuff to catch up too, young and old. Sadly, I was unable to taste Grandmother's delicious mee sua again. Leroy, leroy, Grandmother is too old to cook already. Dang, selfish me. Hahas.
Another major change was that gambling during Chinese New Year toned down considerably this year. I think that is one factor that cause the dampened festive spirit this year. O.o

I wonder how is the red packet collection from everyone else? As my own tradition, I am not opening them until Chinese New Year comes to a close! ;)
