Chinese New Year

maaannn, the reunion dinner is tomorrow...
another CNY away from home, possibly the 4th yr in a row.

now why is that so?
busy with studies, occupied with work?
my bros cant go home, so my folks come down here instead?
just lazy to go back???

nah, it can't be laziness coz i know i miss home...
been missing home for sometime now,
but my folks still come down often, making any trip home less appealing.

but u see, this is a vicious cycle!
we don't go home, so my folks come down,
and if they come down, we don't see the need to go home...
gotta break this cycle somehow.

speaking of home, i have made myself at home here,
feeling at ease with S'pore & its people,
regarding their weird nuances as part of a unique lifestyle,
accepting them for who they are, being my friends & colleagues.

and in this home away from home,
i have ironically bonded closer with more ppl from my homeland.
it's a small world after all rite?
and we are intertwined closely somehow,
by some hidden force that brings us together, called Fate...
by some mambo jumbo nonsense that i m spouting :p

with this, to all of you, pls have a great Chinese New Year!

NB: the author has been reminded numerous times by numerous ppl to blog... so there u go, i have posted an entry for the month :p
