Chinese New Year (Assignment 3)

Part (a) :
This year, time seems to be running out due to the common test and the homework.That might be the reason why i seemed to lost my enthusiasm of Chinese new year.After what seems like an eternity, the day before Chinese new year came! At around 6pm, my family and I went to my Grandmother's house for reunion dinner. There, we met up with my relatives and we began with a hearty conversation. It was amazing how fast time flies. We began to start eating after managing to squeese into a single table. By the time we went home, it was already late. We stayed up late to watch some television programmes such as movie specials.

The next morning, after wishing each other good wealth and prosperity, we ate our meals before watching more television programmes. I was bored at some of the television specials and almost fell asleep. After eating an early lunch, we made our way at my Grandmother's house to meet with my relatives. Then, we began visiting other relatives who lives in Upper Serangoon and Ang Mo Kio. It was fun to try boarding a lift with 10 people though i was worried that we will be trapped if the lift broke down.I find that visiting them is a good chance to know more about each other as we seldom meet.

Then, my family travelled to Bishan for another small family reunion. My grandmother on my mother's side was a great cook. I could not help but to request for a second helping. I am relieved that I did not ate too much new year goodies at my other relatives' houses. After dinner, we sat down and watch a television special of 'Little Nonya'. Even though it was quite short, we enjoyed ourselves and commented on the show. By the time we went home via taxi, we were already exhausted. Though tiring, I appreciate the time spent together. This year was not as bad as i thought after all!
