Didn't help that 2 weeks ago, I lost a cousin and 5 days ago, K lost an uncle. Losing my cousin brought back sad memories of when my Granny passed. This cousin of mine was actually my Granny's god-daughter as well. 2 days ago, I found out another cousin's wife (on my Dad's side of the family) found out she has breast cancer and just started chemotherapy, their son seems to have some medical issues as well (young kid of maybe 20 or so?), and my cousin himself is having cataracts and some spine/neck issues. And another much older cousin on my mum's side of the family is having issues with his young daughter (19 yrs old) who seems to have left home to live a life she wants (including switching courses in poly and focusing on her online luxury accessories business).
It's been a unique CNY this year. Heavy on the serious stuff. Making me think alot more than usual.
Yet, I've to say it's been nice on the light-hearted stuff as well. Met up with the Chias & Sam for a quick lunch before CNY, met up for dinner with the Hans as well. Met up with PC & Ally last night at PQ's new place and gorged ourselves silly. The kids had fun playing games as well. Things were not as rushed this year with lesser houses to visit but it still felt fulfilling.
We were inundated with cookies and other goodies this year. Past 2-3 years we only had 1 or 2 jars of cookies, max. This year, we had 3 jars of pineapple tarts, 1 jar of florentines, 1 jar of macademia cookies, a box of taro pastries, a box of egg tarts, some egg rolls, etc...Lol...
