it's just so so different to be spending cny here..no atmosphere at all..but somehow, even tho there's obviously no general feeling of cny-ness in London, among the sporeans, all of us are especially excited about it.. going around wishing everyone happy new year, preparing food for big steamboat dinners, and a fren even put up the word 'ji' on his window! :) hehe. it's like..altho we dun feel very in the mood, cny's jus a big get together time which is even more greatly cherished because all of us are here far away from our family members at home.
