Heart and Soul: A peranakan Chinese New Year

So ended the first day of CNY. It was memorable because the family got together for this annual gathering. It was a time of merriment but as we grew older, the numbers dwindled. Many were not there as they were studying overseas. Some got married and celebrated in their in-laws' houses.

This CNY celebration happened six decades ago but the lingering memories of the fun the family had will forever be etched in my memory.
