a story in progress

No matter what happen, know this - for every Chinese New Year, certain traditions will always remain a tradition to me.

• The homebaked confectioneries ala pineapple tarts, blueberry muffins and Cornflakes cookies.
  
• The decorations consisting of pineapples, pappercuts and angpaus (which may be glaringly missing especially over the years) and the cookie jars.
  
• The packeting of angpaus as well as the last min sprucing up of the house.
• The huge fuss on the preparation of the reunion dinner.
  

In actual practice I may not know how long these traditions will be uphold in my household nor can it withstand the changes in circumstances, but as far as I can see, they would all remain as a fond tradition file under the to-do-for-the-Chinese New Year-list.
