Qing Ming Festival

Trying to be mysterious!!!
My sister and me

We love chewy gum......Our family gathering!!!
Every once a year we will have to come across "Qing Ming Jie". For most of the people when you mention anything that is related to death or tomb, naturally it brings out the goosebumps or the creeps in most people. Initially i had the exact same reaction but with time ironically i had grown to like it. In our family especially for my mom's side, since young between cousins we are closely bonded. Nevertheless for mom and her siblings they are forever there for each other through thick and thin. They will always come out with all sort of reasons to gather everyone together for a catch up and the venue will either be at my place, my aunt's place or my uncle's place. Each time we meet up, for the younger ones like us we will mingle around trying to update each other on our latest happenings whereas for the older generation, they will form their older gang and will spend most of their time reminiscing the older days or discussion on how bad the economic is right now. And, not forgetting the 2007 generation they will be running around the house while their parents following closely behind them. This year my uncle had came up with a new idea, his suggested that from next year onwards after "Qing Ming" we will all set off to a restaurant to have our lunch before all of us head back home. *In addition, the bill will be on him* ~see that is why i like it!

Sometime you never know how much you misses your friends until you met them. Its been a long time since i met up with my girls and when we finally did there was a sudden urge of tears when i realised how much i actually misses them. We have been friends since Poly time and we have been through some rough times together so if you were to ask me if they are special? My answer will be YES... they are just 2 great souls whom i am proud to have, they have been there for me when i was at my lowest and despite the beauty from outside, they are equally beautiful from the inside. *gals sorry for constantly delaying our appointment but i love you all*
Recently it is also a mini NZ gathering for friends that i made in NZ. Coincidently everyone seems to gather in Singapore and form a mini NZ here. The funny thing is when i first left NZ i told myself it will be the last time we will see each other. But who knows with the twist of fate we are back together again and even though we are now in Singapore but as we spend more time together those "NZ days" memories came alive. There was once a phrase that says:" the greatest memories are not the ones you left behind but the new ones you create."
