A long-awaited Chinese New Year

Since I came to Japan 6 years ago in 2001, I have been spending Chinese New Year in Japan sitting for exams almost every year. This year I finally had a chance to go back to my hometown to celebrate Chinese New Year with my family. Everything is so nostalgic, the firecrackers, the angpows, the food, the people. Although I haven't made it to finish my report before I went back to Malaysia on 10th Feb, thus having to spend the first week doing report at home, I am very contended with this short trip.

After spending the first week doing report, I met up with someone I had wanted to get close to but had never been too close before. We went to shop, went to Old Town(a new cafe chain store in Malaysia), went to a movie, went to karaoke and spent almost everyday together the week after the 1st day of CNY. I even sent her off to work early in the morning. Honestly, I haven't been so energetic for a very long time.

Then, we spent a really sweet night on the beach. Soft music flowing from her mobile phone through the air along with the soothing sea breeze. And the sky was so full of stars(alright, not the whole sky but part of it). The atmosphere was just so perfect! We talked about many things, her life, my life, and the probabilities in the future.

However, time seemed to pass faster when you enjoy it. Soon I had to come back to Japan to continue what I had left off. Well, among the holidays that I spent in Malaysia, this is definitely the one that I will never forget.
