Assignment 3A) An account describing a time when my family and i celebrated Chinese New Year together:
On Chinese New Year eve, I have steamboat with my parents and we talked about our new year resolutions. In my opinion, in order to know the needs of each other, it is important for a family to communicate often, not just during special occasions. After the steamboat, I tuned in to channel 8 and watch the live broadcast of the countdown event held in Chinatown and mediacorp conference hall, and slept at about 1am as it a Chinese tradition belief that if the children were to stay overnight, their parents would enjoy a longer live expectancy.
On the first day of Chinese New Year, it is also the birthday of my cousin. Therefore to us, its really ''double happiness''. To celebrate the occasion, my family, relatives and i went to have reunion dinner at a restaurant in East Coast Park. We have many food there, but not enough to cost up to SGD$1000!! After eating, we found out that the bill was actually $1000 and was all shocked, thus we have learnt not to eat in restaurants during Chinese New Year. I think that the main purpose of having our reunion dinner together is for families to gather together and talk about what happened in the previous year, so as to improve our relationships and strengthen our family ties, so no matter where we have it and what we eat, as long as we are all happy, its fine with me.
To me, Chinese New Year is not just a festival that we can have tasty food to eat and that the children would receive red packets. It is also a festival that everyone gather together to have fun and forget about all the unhappy things that happened in the previous years. It also marks the start of a new year and we should turn over a new leaf and lead a new and better life if the previous year had not been successful to you.
