CNY is round the corner again, in fact it's happening this weekend. It's a time of reunion with relatives and also I will say the routine is here again for people to go around visiting relatives they haven't seen in a year. What does CNY means to you? Yes, a time of reunion, a time where all meet to have merry. But there is something which I do not understand. Why do most people wait till this particular day of the year to meet? There's 364 other days in the year but why they do not want to make the effort to meet up? Another thing, why do the elders love to use this day as an excuse to demand time from their children to oblige to their "requests" and in the event making things ridiculous, unreasonable and demanding. I simply do not understand. 

CNY is a time where families get together to celebrate the new year. It's a time of get together. In fact, we shouldn't just get together on this particular day. However, I feel that on this happy day, understanding should be displayed. To answer my previous question about meeting up on this day, it's probably some people are staying in different countries and work makes it almost impossible for them to meet on the other 364 days and thus CNY is the only common day where they can take time off to meet up and catch up. Simply. 

However, sad to say that some has abuse this day to make it into a day of "I am the queen/king today and whatever I say, you have to oblige. And I am upset because you didn't "obey" me." Well, this sentence is to address the concerns of some young couples facing issues with parents. Honestly, I just feel that parents should be understanding towards the children. Come on, weren't you in that stage of life before? We are living in 21st century now and things have become very different from the past. Move on, my dear! Live in the present and in reality. Move on!

To my faithful reader(s), if you are in the same situation where you are dreading this particular day in the year, just remember, do what you think is right. Prioritize your time and be firm, do what is right and be happy. Apologies for this "sad and make no sense" post as I am just typing out of feelings.  

Happy Chinese New Year!
