I still recall the memorable moments of reunion dinner at my maternal grandmother's house on the eve of Chinese New Year. The first thing my siblings and I did was to greet my elders and wish them well. My cousins and I were elated to see each other once again when we met at my grandmother's house. I chatted happily with them until the elders called us to gather for "lou hei" or tossing fish salad and the steam boat. We had abalone, jellyfish, prawns and many more dishes. It was scrumptious. Later, my cousins played games with me and my siblings. We were having a whale of a time until we had to go home early as we were going to spend the whole afternoon at my paternal grandparent's house tomorrow.
On New Year's day, we left at 12 noon and set off to my paternal grandparents' house It was mostly elders there. We ate our lunch there, which consisted of "abacus" yam dough, vegetables and mushrooms, not to mention abalone too. Well, we did the same things there - eat, play and talk. At the end of the day, we were tired but satisfied all the same. These happy memories will always be etched in my mind.

Continued...
My New Year resolution is to pass my exams this year with flying colors. I also hope to play maple story more as i can only play it during the weekends.
I certainly want to have more time to play and also do things I want. My schedule is quite packed, because I have many competitions coming up, like my swimming, table tennis and Scrabble.
Anyway, my first resolution is to pass my exams so that my parents do not worry so much. I am trying to plop those important basics into my mind, so I am trying very hard.
This is also my wish: to have more time playing Maplestory. My characters are 'Crusader ' and 'Bowman'. They are both levels 109 and I do wish to train them harder to get to higher levels. Such a pity I can only play Maplestory during the weekends, only from 7p.m. to 11p.m.
Last but not least, I also want to spend most of my time going to the outdoors to exercise, like running, walking, playing table tennis, swimming and playing badminton. Reading books is also an exception, but unless I am snug up on a comfy chair with air conditioning and some soft drinks by my side.
A new year, a new start of something new. I hope I will put my best effort in everything I do and be a good role model! :)
