This year I must admit that the atmosphere has not been as good as the last year's. But none-the-less, we still decorate the house and do what we chinese do during the period so to instill the traditional ideas into the young minds of my 2 girls.
Isabel is more aware of the value of the red packets that she's receiving this year, its little Ally that would leave them here and there instead of keeping it properly. I think she lost a couple of them by the end of the 2 days.
Chinese new year is all about visitations, respecting the elders, gathering of old friends... Although in Singapore, there isn't as much tradition as the Chinese in China, but we are coming up with our own like the 捞鱼生 thingy which is nowhere to be found in the world.
I hope that everyone will see to it that our next generation will not lose touch with our root.
