Chinese New Year Eve for the Year of the Rabbit 2011

Chinese New Year falls tomorrow ie Thursday, 3 February, 2011 and tonight is the reunion dinner for family as tradition calls for it. However, as my spouse had just passed on, my sons and I shall be not celebrating the re-union dinner and CNY Celebrations as we are still in the state of mourning. Yes, this is the very first year I shall be observing the CNY Eve without my beloved wife. At this time for past 30 years, she should be packing ang pows or red packets by stuffing in ringgit notes for our family members and friends. She would systemically arrange her ang pows in bundles to be allocated to who shall receive what value of the ang pows. She had always pack these ang pows diligently and it was a delight to watch her doing this annual chore. Alas, this is gone but remained as my loving memories of her.
