CNY Holidays and Other Thoughts

As I am writing this, people are already in the Chinese New Year Holidays mode.  That is what's great about living in a country that has a definite diverse population, these holidays are really more meaningful as the whole country gets into it.  The beginnings of the mass exodus has started along all major highways as everyone returns to their "kampungs" for the visits and eats that is usually associated with these holidays. 

For people like me where "kampung" is just down the road it allows us to experience KL without the constant traffic congestion.  So that is cool.  

The planning for my daughter's birthday is coming along.  Had given the appropriate deposits today to confirm the venue and the RSVP's are streaming in.  I am very happy to hear that there are lots of friends willing to be there to celebrate this once in a lifetime experience for my daughter.  Though I doubt she really knows what is happening so the video would be the most important memory for her.  

Again, had lunch with my wife and daughter at our regular place (actually it has become our daily place) and it was uneventful.  We talked about the birthday and other issues, but as parents most of our conversation was centered around the children and their various activities.  We are merely pawns, maids and drivers for these children.  How lucky they are !!!!
