home~*

these days.. my yahoo group, the pangkor family, a newly network that was set up for the purpose of communication between family members has been really active. everyone is talking n discussing about the soon-to-come CNY n the much-anticipated, newly-rennovated HOME -- 祖屋。And, sadly, all the while i am just sadly listening to all these, knowing that i won't become part of the fun this year.

i am longing to go back..

if only, if only my exams end earlier. if i were kath, i'll prob think of going back during cny n not during xmas.... well.. i dun care missing a few lectures! (err.. r u sure?)

***

10 reasons y i feel like going back during cny instead of x'mas:

1) CNY = gathering of relatives

2) CNY = 热闹 = fun

3) REDBOX KARAOKE SYSTEM???? --> with 6 x 6 ft projector screen..urgh

4) food. ( i hv to elaborate, cos it's just too.. BIG) reunion dinner, day 1: steamboat, day 2: open house~bbq + jap food ( prepared by dear cous thomas n danny), pangkor laksa ( by the.. Aunties? ops...ok.. mummy is not one of them. =p )

5) new hse! no more short of water supply, no more sharing 1 bathroom 1 toilet...

6) Big Uncle's whole family is finally coming for the 1st time!

7) some of my frens r going back.. yes.. they r missing one week of lectures n they r in 3rd yr or higher..

8) 3 weeks of holiday in msia was not spent wisely..

9) no CNY atmosphere here...

10) pangkor family website too active. argh.

***

phew~ need to blurt all these out.. but thank god Mike is coming down! yay! oh, n they gonna hv video conferencing. better ask mike to prepare his web cam. shud let him treat me for a feast in Mandarin Restaurant or somewhere.. shud we book just in case? haha..

u'r cny celebrations back home sound so 热闹, so much more than mine (or maybe cuz my family's not that huge). but it's gonna be so 热闹 back at church too :(
