Come together* - The Beatles

The wonderful thing about Chinese New Year is the opportunity to come together and reunite - sometimes, after a long time.

This year was not any different - in fact, this year was pretty special cuz i got to meet up with a lot of people, having many different reunion meals - ranging from the traditional yee sang to a western roast meal, and everything else in between. This included fish and chips, roast duck rice, japanese sashimi, pizza and good old English ale!

This is a collage of some of the gatherings i have had:-



The pic in the middle is the meal i had with my family before flying off to the UK. Going clockwise from the top left corner:-

1. English roast dinner with students;
2. Having a drink at an open air area with former students;
3. Chinese New Year eve dinner at the halls of residence of my students;
4. Meeting at Borough Market for brilliant coffee and other food stuffs;
5. My ex-Uni mates from UEL at Kelana Jaya;
6. Having a meal at London Chinatown;
7. Meeting up with my ex-Uni flatmates from UoE;
8. Having jap food with a former colleague at London.

I have not seen some of them for months - others for years, even! It was really really good to come together and catch up again. Dun know when i'll ever if see some of them again - that's wat makes these sessions all the more priceless.

*One of their classic songs which is also one of my favourites!
