Tragedy

When everybody was happily looking forward to celebrate CNY, my family on the other hand was left in sorrow. I remember how shocking I was the minute I received the call from mum last Tuesday night. Rushed back to hometown the next day to settle grandpa's funeral. This is the first time I faced such a situation. Go through the pain due to the sudden passing of my close family member.

May grandpa rest in peace at his "new home"...

Feeling really weird not being able to celebrate CNY as normal for the very first time in my life. Was prohibited from sending wishes, getting ang pows, going for house visits and wearing red attire during the 15 days period. But we are allowed to have small family gatherings.

So, we had a belated reunion lunch at Ocean Village Restaurant in Nilai on the second day of CNY.

Prefer last year's family portrait when grandpa was still around. Happy Family!

CNY 2009

I spent my third day of CNY with my secondary school friends at Pizza Hut. It's been three years since I last met them. Used to work part time during CNY to earn a triple pay. But this year is exceptional.

FAMILY & FRIENDS first...

Really miss each and every one of them. My beloved hometown gang. Most of us look so different nowadays. Possibly due to our hairstyle and dressing up. Thought of uploading some old photos here to compare us before and after. But the old photos are in hardcopies and I don't have a scanner. Too bad... Some other time then.
