每逢佳节倍思亲

While clearing some old files in my laptop, I came across these two photos. They were taken during my undergraduate final year in London - made me realise that for the 4th time in my life I won't be spending Chinese New Year with my parents and my brother. Nevertheless, Johanna and I will be celebrating with her uncle's family and my sister will be around as well.

In case you wonder what the title means... It is a Chinese proverb which reads mei feng jia jie bei si qing, meaning that one will miss one's family many times more during festive period.
