Isn't it nice reconnecting with our loved ones, exchanging laughter and endless conversations that we haven’t had in a long time? Well, my family and I embarked on a trip back to Malaysia, my home country, earlier this year.

Having lived overseas for some time already, we were all eager to go back and catch up with friends and relatives. This was during Chinese New Year, too, a time when we celebrate, have parties and eat!
