i'm born in Kay L, i grew up here .. but my hometown is in penang.. and there is where i headed during chinese new year !



before i start blogging, i'm sure it's not too late to wish my chinese readers .. a very happy chinese new year!



last week, around this time, i'm sure at my ta pek (oldest uncle) 's house .. his house was very welcoming and very warm.. =)



when i was much younger, i used to spend time in Penang with my cousins .. *smile* .. now i guess we're all grown up now.. no longer like last time..



but anyways, i still like the atmosphere at my er pek's (second uncle) house.. it's familiar.. and each year, i would recall how i used to be so excited for the new year ..



not to forget my auntie.. who always been a gracious host.. and her cooking is yum yum.. delicious.. *thumbs up*



i always miss penang everytime i come back here to the buzy city of Kay L.. every time i leave, i'm sure to leave a piece of my heart back there.. i remember when i was much younger, there were times when i used to shed a lot of tears heading back to KL.



i hate the sight of Kay L when i come back. i hate looking at the road sign saying i arrived back de. then i recalled how fast the days in penang was ..



this piggy year 2007 was no difference.



only i wish my family could be more friendly.. more intimate with each other.. *memories* cause i miss the communication i once had with everyone when i was just a little girl..



i love hanging around in ta pek's house. i love walking around er pek's house. i enjoy the laughter at my auntie's house. i take in the smiles (and junk food) at my grandpa's house. i marvel at my uncle's stall.



what does chinese new year mean to me ? .. hanging around with family, being able to laugh , talk and enjoy each other's company.



i love penang area. when i sat down at a shop to eat the other day ..the waitress came to me and instead of ..



* "yao yam mat ye ah?"



i heard..



*"ai lim ha mi?"



* what you wanna drink?



it's so soothing to hear people speaking in my mother tongue language.. i don't miss the canto speaking in KayL.. but i smile at the Hokkien spoken in Penang..



i guess my parents had adapted much into me, sometimes i feel like i don't belong in KayL.



oh well.. i wanna go back to penang. and soon. i hope.
