Living abroad without your family beside you isn't a pleasant experience. Especially when you are smack right in the middle of the worst economy downturn of the decade and do not have a job.
So to make it through the day, I often imagine myself as an homeless orphan. I do so because it lessens the homesickness and allows me to focus on my daily tasks.
Every year, the family would gather twice (once on Christmas and once on CNY) and it's on these days I rejoice and live in pure happiness.
Define happiness.
Happiness is having BBQ with everyone in the same backyard, going to beaches and picnics and 2kgs gained over Christmas in a family gathering.
Merry Christmas & Happy 2009 :)
