Second and all, many of my close friends, lecturer, high management, trainer were all February babies showering their joy, one after another.

And of all, all lovey dovey lovebirds will be expressing their heartfelt feelings this lovely February for a Happy Happy Happy Valentine's Day. 


How have you spend yours? ~



#Lunar New Year 
My Lunar New Year was rather different back from past years, 
In fact, it was elated "unusual" with so many pulsating emotions.
I was invited to be at Farrer Park 




for family Reunion Dinner which specially prepared by Ms Yong for a feast-in Steam-boat


and uopn that, I bring in a bottle of sparking Champange and a bottle of Mascato wine to cheerio this Prosperous and Fruitful year ahead. 



And before the sit in feasting, I couldn't help by looking around the new scale up home from living room to kitchen



With that,  I would say is now a HOME SWEET HOME ~

Sizzling! on the hotplate for this reunion dinner was somehow a warming dinner but, a little pitiful with no do with mommy around.....

My eavesdrop hearing papa subconsciously,

" Is New Year! ...." 

My eyes rolled and grinned to fine tune, if he was alright and doing fine or so....

A sudden aching streamed in, I couldn't helped to pause or should I say something?! 
'cos I knew, he misses her so much.

What's in his mind?

Sitting at the table, his voice was weal weak, I heard him with trembling emotions that hold back his throat with uncertainty, and he continue his talking,

"When mommy got recover, I will bring her to Strawberry farm" ~ was the only thing, papa wants to revaccinate for a new indent, new rebirth for his dear wife and himself, a gather together precious moment. (That is what I've chant always and have chanted for long enough to Papa to give some time for himself and family)

3hours of eating, drinking and chatting, reunion-ing has come to an end. 

Gelen and I took almost an hour or two for all necessities clearing up and continue the night with suggestion for a good mahjong bonding session, a good fortune and happiness ....

In every Chinese traditional practice during Lunar New Year, children staying up late was a some kind of symbolic culture for  parent's longevity. 

Hence, sibling bonding session kick start in no time and await,

 


During the wee hours, having a short break intervally, I had a quick check at the door way.

That particular night seems cold in the room, vision got a little blur, that single bed, far away at the corner that he is sleeping on, I feel his loneliness and the emptiness. 

He is trying to hide so hard. 

I just couldn't hold back, the room is now echo with heavy heart. He could have been weeping quietly alone on the bed, pressing his tears hard against the pillow of his fussily emotions.

Two hours before dawn, Papa woke up to pray and got himself changed to only say, he wanna to go nursery for buying some fresh flowers this new year new year.

Eh...???

My puzzled to his sudden going out at this odd hours, worried me which then somehow, I was told,every year during this hours, Papa and mommy will be going around into the late crowd after the strike of 12mid-night to buy New Year stuffs and flowers.

Oh my! Sharp pain hit me in within. 


Within an hour or so, he was happily with a hand held full - brought back of an extremely gifted discounted  fresh flowers and a handy pot of beautiful mandarin orange for this lunar new year. 



Retrospect we didn't manage to bring mommy back from TTS for a family reunion dinner but not forgetting to have our family portrait taken every Lunar New Year if possible and applicable.

Everyone was busying in and out for so many things that I just couldn't being active to move and help around but to only Snap and Snap and Snap for what all others were busying upon with. 

Yep, am capturing for ever precious moment(s).

"Huat Ah!" was the only thing from him, of this day.....





Literally, I am speechless for all those preparations that he had foresight in putting up a Hardwarecity Banner, River placard signage that filled in the focus for all valued invitation clients, suppliers, associates, colleagues, families and friends.
