It's amazing how environment changes the meaning of each celebration. Half way round the globe, people are celebrating chinese new year. On the other hand, today just seem to be any ordinary saturday. Maybe not, in the hearts of many foreign chinese students. Back home, chinese new year is one of the festivals that you get to meet all your relatives, eat good food,all the nice biscuits, and angpow. This would be the first year that I'm celebrating chinese new year away from home.*sob*. Of course, the next 4 years or maybe more.

Part of me long for all the good things happening back home. The other part.....

The only and one explanation to that would be my recent visit back home. I'm so used to this place that it actually starts to feels like home to me. I was surprised too. I exchange comfort with freedom. The freedom I have here, which I could never gain from home. A huge consolation for being away from home, the comfort zone both physically and mentally.
