it's the 6th day of lunar new year today. for some reasons, i don't feel excited for lunar new years anymore. nor that i look forward for next year's. no offence to those who can't celebrate it with their families, but it just doesn't appeal to me anymore (other than the ang pow money, which seems to decrease this year). perhaps i'm already a young adult. or that i'm not really that close to my other relatives. or because my sis and brothers are not here for reunion dinner. to me, every year it's the same routine.

the first day of new year, it's the usual houses to visit. at night, we have a form 6 classmates gathering at foong hsian's house. and i thought this was supposed to be the happiest moment for me this new year. it's been quite some time since i last saw some of them anyway. boy i was so wrong. not many of them turned up. and those who came had to leave early. and the mood was...i don't know how to describe. everyone seems to be worried about assignments and the looming exams. the best part only came later at chee hoe's house. kam fei, soon chern and a few others gambled while me and foong hsian watched.

the second day was ok. went to visit yien sien's house with edmund and then the 3 of us went to watch the last samurai. after that me and edmund visited sin yi. later we went to bee yoke house and were surprised to find chi chau, liu chui and fong yin there. kinda happy to see them because it's hard to see them around in melaka. they've changed a lot too. though it's only a short time but it's better than nothing.

the 3rd and 4th day was spent at my grandma's house at bukit tinggi, pahang. nothing much happened there and the rest of the days.

suddenly my flair of wrinting seems to deteriorate over time. i wonder why...
