Though she is a material girl, she is also a plain jane. She may be a party animal. But all she wants, is to be loved and cared.

CNY 08
Friday, 8 February 2008 7:27 pm
First time I spent my CNY away from home. A lot of lessons learnt.
If you decide to go on exchange/studies, don't go to countries that celebrates CNY, because the whole place will shut down. It is difficult to find food, there is no where you can go. And no one to spend you CNY with.
No matter where you are, fly back to have reunion dinner with your family. It may seem like a minute thing, but actually it meant a lot.
My family webcam-ed me during CNY eve during dinner. It was very funny experience. When we tried, my sister's and my msn just cannot work. It took us hours and we end up talking on web messenger, and figured out to use skype. Then my family was so happy to see my through the computer. I think my mum was a little emotional when she saw me. Then my sister attempted to tempt me with fried chicken and angbaos, both of which I have it in Korea. And my sister was like saying there are so much food that they can't even finish eating it till tomorrow. Well, that is quite normal, my mum usually prepare a lot of food. I saw the doggies in my house too. Well, they still look pretty much the same.
Looking at my house through the cam, it suddenly felt foreign. I am starting to wonder what it will feel like when I return in April. Time passed quickly, it has already been almost 1.5 months. I just want to eat all the food in Singapore.
So my CNY - One of my friend fell sick, so she spent most of the time resting in the dorm. So left me and the other friend. We had pork ribs potato soup for dinner on eve. Then I spent most of the time sleeping till noon, watch some dramas, go back to lab and work for a while. My other friend felt better, so we decided to travel to the town and explore, nothing much.
And for today, same routine, except we went for lunch/dinner at 4 plus. My roomate also just came from Australia. After thinking about how disorientated I felt when I first came here, I decided to bring her out for dinner and grocery shopping tomorrow, together with my other friends.
CNY just passed like that. I really miss reunion dinner, trying to stuff myself with food. To think that 1 month ago I was feeling so miserable that I want to go back for CNY.
