1st day of CNY
Today is the first day of CNY.
It arrives with a beautiful sunshine.
It also helps to put all the cleaning work at bay.
At least for the next seven days,
All the rooms in the house
Shall remain fresh and sparkling clean.
The children will wake up this morning,
To find a new bright and happy day,
They will receive presents,
Directly from their parents,
After they say the well wishes words and congratulations.
It is Chinese's cultures and traditions,
All single and unmarried persons,
Will receive a little bright red packet, Ang Pao.
Inside, they will find fresh note(s) of currency.
Each time they greet their elderly relatives.
After many years and decades,
I still believe and practice it.
Better still, I head to the beaches.
From Geelong, Angleseas, Point Road Knight, Lorne,
Apollo Bay, along Great Ocean Road
All the way to the twelve Apostles.
This time, I will not count how many of them,
Because I had said goodbye to my friend.
After he spared his words of "Good night".
BB, whether you like it or not,
You will receive one red packet from me.
It is not about the amount.
It is the thought that counts.
It is definitely first time for me,
Hopefully, it is last time for you.
Congratulations to every body and BB.
CNY 1st day end soon.
I managed to play six songs
One loved by A
One loved by B who had a crushed on a singer who sang it.
One would have been B&C picks.
Three others were my favourite old Asian songs I heard half a century ago.
Goodbye A, B and Warrnambool.
It was a lovely day trip on this special CNY day.
If one can enjoy all that, then,
Congratulations on having the luxury.
For everyone else, it is a fantasy.
Life is never meant to be easy.
