celebrating Lunar New Year
away from home.
This is my first time spending CNY away from home, with other Singaporeans & Chinese who have also left their families and who are calling Minnesota their home for now. I have to say that this has been my most 'Happening' New Year in many many years because well there are no parents/family members and boring relative talk.
This is one New Year I will remember for life; eating 'Tuan Yuan Fan' at a friend's place, standing by the grill and grilling beef/chicken/fish/sausages, eating steamboat with awesome chilli sauce, shopping for groceries, playing many rounds of saboteur and polishing off a bottle of Riesling (that kind of sucked) and then heading off for a round of Karaoke and running home in the snow, throwing fistfulls of snow at each other. This is one memory I want engraved in my mind. Which is why even though it's 3.08 in the morning I have to pen it down. Before I forget, so that one day down the road I'll remember this New Year that I had; away from home.
I miss home, no doubt. But I'll say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

“some people feel like they don't deserve love. they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
