Bye 2022

 I’m glad the year is almost over. There were times, more often than not, that I lost motivation at work; I felt that I need a break and a long holiday will do me some good. It didn’t help that financial markets are extremely volatile and hence, hard to manage. Looking back, I think I could’ve done better but it’s always easy to say on hindsight. 

On a personal level, I can’t complain much. What I would like to share is that your brother has a new girlfriend Rachel. I like her a lot. She’s joining us for CNY gathering in Penang, and I bet she’ll be warmly welcomed by everyone. Also, mom and I are having an early CNY lunch with Ah Boy and family in KL now that China has opened its borders after its zero covid policy was scrapped.

CNY 2023 is going to be really fun with everyone around! 

Miss you though.

Dreams

 Last night, I dreamt that I was left behind by a tour bus when I went to the restroom. I panicked and was frantically looking for help when you appeared. You assured me you would help me find the bus but then I woke up. As always, you never failed to look out for me! Your birthday is next Thursday. I miss you so much.

CNY 2022

 Finally, after more than two years, I was able to travel back to Penang to celebrate CNY with your uncles, aunties and cousins. What makes the homecoming extra special is that we (mom, Raj and I) are staying with your brother. He has bought a new place in Bayan Lepas; a 3 bedroom apartment with a nice view. This morning, we went to uncle Teik Ee’s place prayers to grandma; something I haven’t done for ages. It was a re-union of sorts as we also met up with uncle Boo Eng, aunty Girlie, Teng Lye and Teng Hin. Hopefully, we can do this again next CNY.
