Lunar New Year

It's Chinese New Year again and this year is the lunar year of the tiger. This is also the year which many couples in Singapore refused to have a child. The reason? The dinstinctive traits of a tiger tells us why. Many superstitious people feel that a child, especially a girl would be impatient, hot-tempered and aggresive if they are born in the year of a tiger. However, those are only believed b the superstitious chinese in Singapore and not everyone is like that. Personally I don't believe in superstitious stuffs like this because I feel they make no sense at all. Besides this year being the year of the tiger, it is also the first lunar new year for me as a Sec 1. Secondary life has been rather demanding so far and yet it is only the beginning. For me, I also cannot visit people's house although my religious faith is Christianity, unless they do not mind the fact that my grandfather passed away last year. This year was quite meaningful though. After a ceremony in Hwa Chong, I gathered with 11 of former classmates who are also in Hwa Chong at the clock tower before proceeding to our primary school to visit our teachers. Upon reaching there, we were reunited with many former classmates too. We then went around looking for teachers to wish them a Happy New Year. Nostalgia filled within me as we chatted, walked around the school and join in the celebrations. I recalled how My friends and I were playing soccer on the parade square and cracked jokes together. After the visiting, we even went to an Italian restaurant as a class for luch and chatted about anything that we could. But good things will end somehow.Soon, it was time for us to go. Although this chinese new year wasn't the best, but it was one of the most unique and memorable ones for me. I eagerly look forward to the next class meeting, where fond memories will return.
