Happy Chinese New Year! Early in the morning we go to church for proper festive blessing for the day and when we get back to grandma house its already full of friends, relative and villages neighbours. Unlike our urban style celebration here in this remote village people from various cultures, races, religion and beliefs come to celebrate as one share our celebration, happiness and enjoyment for this Chinese New Year festival. Don't be suprise both my father and mother relative have huge mixture of cultures, races, religion and beliefs that make other felt the gap of different is huge as seen from their eyes but in our heart they are actually very close as family. I also have chances to visit other relative around Limbang too. The crowds come in and out in endless from 8am till 4pm. Cakes, muffin, snacks, rice, noodles, bbq chicken, meat, veges, shirmps, cola, oranges, beers and etc all on the tables. I always hang around the kitchen too see if i can get some nice munchies and some cooking in progress. Wow! the make fried shrimps!!
Its time were going back home to the peaceful small tme in the middle of Borneo island. An approximately 3 hour hefty drive from MIRI city passing through BRUNEI border then back into the state on the other eastern side where then we reach to a small town called LIMBANG. MMMmmmmmm..... feels like young again....except with that driving part and immigration queue up. My parents, brother, sisters and relative went along for a holiday retrun to my grandma house for family reunion this coming Chinese New Year which is 1 day from now, we only have 1 grandma left that is our father side. Her house was on the country side up the hill above the horizon were i can enjoy nic`e view overall the sight. Stood this humble house is her loyal 3 loyal doggies and a cat who have been a good trusty grandma companion for years.
