this cny is a rather ironic one. why do i say so? well, reunion dinners are all about family, right? den how is it that when my whole family was together on cny during previous years, all we did was rot at home & be bored.. well here's the irony of it all. this year, my parents are not around and thus my family isnt wif me. however, this year i have more activities than i ever had. so if reunions are really all about family, den where's mine? the reunion in reunion dinner is already taken out, thus making it just a simple dinner.
i do credit my aunties and uncles for taking care of me and inviting me to such family events, but it's really sad seeing everyone with their families and knowing that i'm all alone. all i want is a simple family dinner, it doesnt have to be grand, just me, mum and dad eating together. but i guess, that will never happen again. i can't even remember the last time we really ate together, it was probably when i was in sec 2, that's like 3 years ago.
if i were to have a reunion dinner, my mum would have to fly back from the states, and my dad from myanmar. i'm not that selfish, i know, mum has her own life to lead, and dad has his job to do. to mum & dad, thanks for the memories of when we were still a happy family.
so to all those who still have both parents around, living under the same roof, stop complaining about having to go home early to eat dinner at home. you never know when will be your last meal as a whole family. stop complaining about both parents nagging at you, you wont know how much you'll miss it when it's gone. to everyone out there, treasure your family, cos you never know when it'll be incomplete. have a wonderful cny!
