FAMILY!

"Yu Shen" On the 7th day of Chinese New Year!

The sweet and pretty nieces of mine!
The last day (15th day) of CNY just passed last Sun and my family and I gathered over dinner for a cosy steamboat with a different style, Japanese Curry soup base! Was my sisters great idea. It tasted not bad after all! My dad opened a bottle of wine and made us drink, saying it was only 6% of alcohol as it was a fruit wine. However it almost "killed" me! Haha.. so I guess I cant really take wine after all, if not have to train up!

However this was the first Chinese New year after 5 years that my family get to celebrate it with my brother around in S'pore. I am really glad and happy for this great time we had together! Although I can say I am not as close as before to my brother, but it is always something different when the entire family come together! It is also through this season where I have come to recognise and appreciate what family is all about. Be it immediate to my extended family. I am more and more thankful for having such a wonderful family, even through the flaws and misunderstand, the good and bad moments. Come to it all, we are still a family and that cant be change, hence we need to come and work things out together and also to learn to accept and adapt to each other.
So what does family mean to each one of you? Share your comments here!
