Some Reflections on CNY

This CNY is different from the other CNYs... it begins on a Sunday (yesterday), which means the first place I have to go is my church. After the church service I visited my relatives as usual.. an once a year affair.

I visited 2 other relatives and also my ex-colleague today (the 2nd day of CNY). Food and tib-bits seem to be plentiful at every household. I already put back the 2kg I lost last week... but it's ok, I burn off my fat very easily. :)

At my ex-colleague's home, something impressed me... her well designed and decorated 5-room HDB flat. She is still single, and is above 35 year-old. Later I learnt that she co-owned that flat with her female friend, also single and is above 35 year-old. Hmmn... I didn't know that 2 singles, who are above 35 year-old, are eligible to apply for a 5-room HDB flat just like any married couples.

Yes, they have their own private room each, but it seems something is missing in that home though it was very beautifully furnished and has a quiet environment. Perhaps the absence of a male figure there gave me that kind of strange feeling. I tried to put myself in their shoes to see how I would feel. Erm... I guess if I were to remain single at their age, I would prefer to stay with a family, or with 3 other female friends instead of just one... the quietness makes the place seems lonely.

Ok, one more rest day to go before I go back to work again... I must make the best use of it... stay home and relax. :)
