Today, I was reminded that CNY was just a blink away and I started panicking! I haven’t even thought that far ahead yet we were catching a plane already next week!

*hyperventilates*

New clothes!

Ang Pow packets!

Cash to Withdraw!

Packing!

Shopping for in-laws!

Clearing the fridge before we leave!

Preparation for the arrival of our new helper!

*hyperventilates*

All this on top of my already very, VERY busy schedule with work and kids.

I then stopped to think what Chinese New Year was for my kids………..

Holiday!

An aeroplane ride

Time with their grandparents in hot, sunny Kota Bharu

Wearing new ‘Chinese’ clothes

Carrying a little bag each for Ang Pow collection

Lots of fun with Mommy and Daddy in the garden

Wishing everyone with rehearsed lines and actions

Eating customary CNY food

Over-dosing on Amah’s cookies

Is that it?

Is it enough?

In my day, Chinese New Year was so many things.

Just one, was the smell of love letters (kuih kapit). There we were squatted on concrete floors chatting and laughing whilst we helped Aunty M watch the hot iron moulds that held the soon to be crispy, aromatic love letters. Repeated warnings not to go to near the fire and hot fingers from attempting to fold freshly cooked batter were just some of the memories I have of my childhood Chinese New Year…………..

What about you?
