i still wish to say "Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fat Cai" to everyone.. yea, i know it sounds late as i am lazy to manage my blog.. =(

well for most of the people, chinese new year perhaps is another reason to party or celebrate, but technically everyday is another reason for celebration and jubilation: birthdays, festivals, anniversaries, etc.. as the Chinese culture so interwined in our lives makes it almost mandatory that we need to have a reunion dinner or travel home to our parents and also relatives.. however this year..

once in a while, i am always thinking an excuse so that i could skip any reunion dinners or visits to the relatives due to some reasons.. but this year when my mother told me "i could hardly get all my daughters together now".. i felt =( and so i think i will not avoid it anymore and do appreciate every gathering from now on..

and this year.. i had 2 days of CNY.. (as we need to prepare for our presentation).. 1st was the reunion dinner.. we had it in a famous chinese restaurant in Manchester with all the Taylor's mates.. celebrating CNY here is not too bad as I have a great company of friends to eat and play together.. anyhow, i had a little small harmless loneliness feel..

I thought the feel of CNY will only last for one night, but playing cards last night brought back more sense of the CNY presence.. and last but not least, the most entertaining show by Mr.Hong Tat Su.. that's the end of my CNY for 2009..

today is a totally new day without that feeling again.. everyone is in the nervous mood for the presentations.. and it is done by today.. and at the same time, it means the end of semester 1 in year 2..

**Add on: after reading the latest blog from Alex, i thnk i need to say one or two words as well.. thanks for all my group members especially the leader.. i dunno what to say.. but i do appreciate everyone putting in the efforts.. and again i think i need to apologise.. i am sorry for taking a wrong design solution.. i am sorry!!
