aaah.. chinese new year's is coming up.. less than 3 weeks!!!!

February 9th!!!!

i've only started realizing how much i loved holidays.. and the reason for that i think is...

i dun live @ home anymore.. holidays means that i get to go home & relax.. hang out with friends :)

well.. roomie faith and i went to Ming Li after fellowship tonite to buy groceries.. 11:30pm.. y so late u ask??
Ming Li gets fresh groceries every Friday at 11pm.. and u'd be surprised.. but a LOT of ppl wait for them to unload the groceries every friday.. its like a Chinese tradition in Windsor :P

so anyway.. as we were standing there unloading the groceries from the truck.. something struck my eye..
looking @ all the red boxes they were unloading. something fell out from the boxes... packets of "lai see" envelopes.. and looking @ them made me really miss home.. and really miss my mum and dad..

thinking about it.. i dun think i go home in enough.. i only go home once a month at most.. and i dun think i talk to my 'rents enough either.. the only reason i call them now is either to get $ or b/c i need something.. i haven't just called them to say hi and see they're doing in a long time.. i dun call them to tell them i miss them or that i luv them.. life being so hectic all the time.. i realize that i take a lot of things for granted.. :( i definetly need to make some phone calls

so we were @ the supermarket.. and faith n i decided that we were gonna do hot pot with our friend wynne.. and so the two of us like crazy girls went around buying so much food :P like $40 worth of food just for 3 ppl @ hotpot tommorow.. haha.

back to the chinese new years.. so we're looking round and something catches both our eyes @ the same time.. Chinese New Year Cake.. Lin Go!!!!! man.. these are my most FAVOURITE thing of chinese new years... well aside from the red pocket $$ hehe...

my thoughts for the day: missin home.. can't wait to go back... i need to stop takign everythign for granted and start appreciating.. :)
