This year will be the first Chinese New Year without you where I will ...
... be stuck in the traffic jam alone.
... not hear you complaining or cursing about the slow drivers or the sudden brake.
... not hear you groaning when I switch the radio channel to Lite FM.
... not be making fruit cake with you.
... not be getting orders from you on when to put the egg yolk into the cake batter.
... not be hearing the familiar sound of the mixer to grind the fish paste.
... not be doing last minute shopping with you.
... not be snapping photographs of you praying to the Sky God.
... not be watching fireworks with you at midnight on Chinese New Year.
... not be able to pose with you for photographs.
... not be able to exchange shoes with you.
... not be making my annual Chinese New Year card anymore because it is wrong to omit out 2 names.
So many happy things to tell you.
So many unhappy moments to share.
Sometimes I get too lazy to talk about it because an 'Elisabeth-Ng' response is no more available.
I miss you so much.
I wish so much to hear from you again...
