新年到，来放鞭炮！

Been listening to MyAstro's latest CNY album for 2011. My family is a fan for CNY songs and yes, MyAstro does it very nicely for their albums for 3 consecutive years now, since 2009! Kudos to MyAstro for the good and meaningful lyrics, plus good melodies of the new CNY songs. Not to mention the good arrangement of the tradditional CNY songs too!

This year one of the songs really reminded me of the CNY when we were young:

I miss those fireworks and firecrackers! I can still feel the excitement for CNY as we prepare for it - the springcleaning, the playing of our CNY albums, the baking, the visiting, the feasting, the festive and catching-up mood with the relatives. Even as an adult, I super look forward to CNY as much as when we were children.

As I was counting down to CNY in Msia again, it began dawning on me - there may not many more Msian-style CNY celebrations for me I guess. What'd the SG ones be like...???
It may not seem like much, but for a moment, I guess I was a bit lost. Would it be as "festive feeling" as our those in our 'growing up years'? The way the SG people describe it, it was as if CNY wasn't very much like other public holidays...

"Would I lose the excitement for CNY?" I felt like a child thinking like that. But somehow, it did felt like a very valid worry to me...?

Silly me?
