Eve : Has been different cos' I wasn't at home with my family but at Chinatown with Cindy. The decorations are not as good as last year's ones so my camera ended up working half-day. It was the usual crowd and we were stucked in this human traffic that was pretty scary. Everybody was still pushing towards one direction even though the line wasn't moving. I told Cindy we better moved out from the line and detour. I shouted to the crowd which was moving along with the line "Stop moving in, the line's not moving and it's really dangerous to continue pushing in." It's sickening to imagine if a stampede was to happen. Nobody bother to tell each other to stop joining the line. Do we have to experience something tragic before learning to speak up when it is necessary?
Managed to reached home at the stroke of midnight. Guess what I did? Wash my car! Haha... Well well, a different Lunar New Year's Eve!
Chu Yi : It's been a quiet one for me. Went for Mass with my family at Church of St Mary of the Angels and there was a lion dance performance at the end of the Mass. Happy to get the blessed mandarin oranges from the priest. No more visiting to my grandparents' house on the 1st day of New Year but their niches at the Choa Chu Kang Columbarium. The day was followed by the visit to my Dad's niche at Tai Pei Yun. Seem pretty sad but that's life man. You got to do it to your close ones even when they are no longer around.
Chu Er : Usually will go down to Tiong Bahru to have a New Year gathering with my Dad's side but not this year. Escaping from giving out Hong Bao? Escaping from the crowd? Oh well, just don't feel like seeing them I guess. Lazed at home for the whole day, slept the whole afternoon and only went out for lunch in the evening. At night, my family had mahjong.
Just to add on that I'm feeling a little depressed these days. Nothing seems to interest me and I think I have been experiencing mood swing again. I loses my temper easily and get agitated by the slightest thing. My GP told me to eat the anti-depressant pill to improve my mood but I have not done so. I think I should spend more time praying.
