Are You Looking Forward To Chinese New Year?

[Careermum]

This year, CNY came too early, no time to enjoy the preparation. Feels more rush, and feels more like an obligation to celebrate it, rather than to enjoy it.


Other than that, quite enjoyable when I see my kids enjoying it.

I don’t enjoy CNY because of having to put up with the pretence…only enjoy the break because it has been a little stressful since school reopened…badly need to recharge for CA1.

I don't look forward to the reunion dinner with in-laws and meeting pple I dun want to see. More comparisons over the kids...


Other than that, I enjoy CNY with my own parents, the food and the countdown on Ch 8.

Totally same same feel cherrygal
Must try to enjoy the positive bits more this year!

I look forward to CNY.


The break is definitely welcomed.

Meeting with relatives and friends that usually I do not get to see, no time better than CNY to have a class reunion. I do not feel obligned to visit any relatives that I do not feel like visiting, I just don't go.

I also look forward to the feasting :drool:, but not to the weight gain

I agree. For singles, it'll be the bombarding of questions over singlehood. Married couples predictably will be asked when a third member will be added. Families with \"oneders\" will be questioned if there's a plan for a 2nd child... and finally those with children will have alot of comparisons with relatives' children. Never ending questionssssss...

But I do enjoy the countdown on Ch8, it's my own tradition to stay up even if the rest are already asleep

I feel CNY is boring and a hassle.

Shops are also closed making the place seem so quiet.

Nowadays kids esp teenagers don’t like CNY too.
They rather meet up with frens than go house visiting.

Can’t wait for CNY to be over.
