“Wealth and rank are what man desires, but having contentment is the greatest wealth and highest rank...” - Confucius

| (Red is the theme for Chinese New Year) |
Chinese New Year is a time of joy, reflection and celebration.
For the Chinese, it is a time of renewal and new beginnings, a time to reflect on the past year and to look forward to the future. It is also a time of celebration with family and friends, a time to cherish the relationships that have been built over the years.
We are a multi-racial family of Malay, Indian, and Chinese, which means our year is filled with many joyous celebrations. Chinese New Year is always special, and like every year, my sister-in-law Tijan takes the lead in arranging our family gathering. She is a wonderful cook and lovingly prepares the main dish, while the rest of us bring along our potluck contributions. Although my husband’s brother, Shah passed away many years ago, the spirit of family remains strong. These gatherings remind us that while time passes, the bond we share will always keep us close.
