I should thank God dat till my age almost reach the edge of the twenty’s, i still have my grandparents (from my mother’s side)…since i am the eldest grandchild, i somehow can feel their love, attention, etc dat i receive are slightly "bigger" than other grandchildren. I do enjooooyyyyyyyyyyy the blessings…^^

This morning, my 2nd uncle’s wife (the uncle, whose house is also my family’s place to stay at till my own family’s house is finished), was cleaning her warehouse. A small room near the kitchen where she usually put unnecessary-at-the-time-being things. This time was a really huge cleaning. She threw away her youngest son’s toys, unimportant kitchen utensils, bla bla bla…

I didnt help her since the room is sooooo tiny dat only 2 adults can be there@the same moment…so i just watched her activity from a far, until i saw my grandma’s old chinas at the corner of her temporarily "unwanted things" corner, ready to be put away from home…

The memories of how i spent my chinese new years’ in my childhood came across my mind such a dejavu…all of the big family’s members (my mom has 6 siblings) went to the dining table to and fro for taking food (no table could make the big family sit together around, so we choose "buffet" as the method of our chinese new year’s dinner).

The crokery which unfortunately do not come in the same pattern (i assumed they didnt survive from the-house-moving-scenes which happened to be more than our fingers could count on)were soup’s big bowl with a cap n handle. It’s hard to paired them with other utensils, but being a person who’s giving sentimental side’s a higher credit, i decided to be their new inheritor…

My auntie didnt object to my decision. So, i asked the servant to wash them all and i put them in a box altogether. Me myself wrapped them one by one with old newspapers. I amazed dat almost all of them were written "made in holland" and there’s only one which really eye-catching was written made in bavaria…yipppiieee…
