When Lunar New year is coming, I will feel worried on this busy festival. I will always yell in my mind:"Who invented festival!" My mother will be super busy on making cakes which are the gifts of relatives. And everyone will rush to supermarket and snap present boxes which are mainly chocolate, sweets and biscuits.
This year, I am glad that my wife has already bought many beautiful present boxes. We thought these may not enough for the gifts of all of our relatives. Then we rushed to another supermarket and bought some. I always have an idea. I can redistribute the presents I received from relatives to another. But my wife thought this is risky. We have no idea how many and what type of presents we will receive. And the presents may not be adequate enough to redistribute to our lovely relative! Timing is another concern. In order to redistribute, we should first receive. But what's about we should give first? Finally, we paid safe to buy several more presents. Other people, including my mum also shared the same thinking. Therefore we all rushed to supermarket. We all have a risk of facing a flood of chocolate after festival!
It is quite odd to contact friends that you have not met for whole year. As I grow up, I am responsible to take initiative to contact the friends and relatives. I am a bit afraid of picking up the phone and dial to my friends. That's not good but that's my genuine feeling.
Over the course of the four-days busy holiday, my wife and I have visited many friends and relatives. Our family members and friends also visited us and we endeavoured to prepare many meals. We used up of all our limited cooking skills! In the party, all of us celebrated and talked happily. We shared opinions and feelings of all topic, all events happened in this year.
Lunar Chinese New year have passed and we resumed to our normal life. It is a festival with mixed feelings. It mixed with worries and fulfillment, exhausting and energizing.
