Interesting..

I've had an amazing Chinese New Year - so extraordinary cos it's so UNChinese.

We were supposed to head to Segamat to celebrate with my father-in-law who is now stationed there with his other children. But as the odd ones in the family we decided against travelling all the way for a day or two. So amidst rumblings from my brothers and sisters-in-law, we stood our ground and refused to make the trip. Lo and behold, Segamat was the worst hit in the recent floods. They who are there had a busy time cleaning up the mess left by mother nature and an incompetent local council since my bro-in-law owns 2 shops in the town centre.

Anyways, we stayed home and enjoyed the dissipating traffic, the unusual quiet that was left in the wake of an exodus away from the City.

So what did we get up to?
We had a movie on the eve of CNY - The Green Hornet.
Followed by a reunion dinner at Fridays.
Then on CNY, we had roti canai for breakfast.
Now, how untraditional and amazing was that.
The day passed peacefully, not even with the TV on.
Then we had a stroll in the Curve and Ikano.
The second day, we spent cooking up a feast for some friends who are scheduled to turn up on my doorstep tomorrow.

I hope there will be joyous times and good old laughter all around tomorrow.
