It’s that time of the year again. Chinese New Year 2011. Time really does fly regardless what you be at. I’m still trying recovering from the effects of CNY last year.
Celebrations are less hectic this year so I’m enjoying it a lot more than the previous years. Apart from the usual booze & gambling, the venue this year was in Miri which was much closer for me to get to & I got to spend the whole week with my bro and nephew whom I’ve been dying to catch up with.
Don’t matter where ya at. When the clock hits 12 am the sky fills up with fireworks till 1 am. I’m guessing it’s the same practice everywhere else probably except for Brunei.
After a two nights in Miri & a lot of whiskey later, I find myself rushing back to Brunei for open houses. Made a lot of pit stops otw back thanks to my nephew. Getting him to leave either a bookstore or a pet shop is like getting Charlie Sheen to leave the playboy mansion.
For the long weekend I’d to show my bro & nephew around since they haven’t been back to Brunei in years. Between malls & beaches there wasn’t much else those two were interested in.
Quality time spent with the whole family for sure this festive season. I can’t even remember the last time I had a meal at the dining table with the whole family. Usually it’s all grab what I want & finish it off by the Tv.
We’re coming into the 1st half of CNY and so far all is well despite the hangovers. I think its about time to put down the drink & get some exercise. For all the Chinese folks out there celebrating the year of the Rabbit…
