it's about having decent conversations with people you live with everyday but seldom really talk to.
it's about realising who are the people who means most to you in this world.
it's about reliving traditions.
it's about repeating answers to the same questions year after year (yes... i've completed my o levels years ago. yes... i'm so tall now although the last time i grew vertically was 5 years ago.)
it's about the food (and everyone keeps telling me that i put on weight. yes... i get it already but i'm not terribly insecure about it cos i have better things to worry about and i do agree with them.)
it's about the extra cash :P
it's about getting away with things that you dont usually get away with.
it's about never growing up in the eyes of your parents and grandparents.
it's about family getting together.
that's why although there is something lacking in terms of the whole atmosphere, i still love chinese new year.
