细雨飘飞之农历新年夜

除夕夜，幼子买了马来餐，我们三人（妻子，我和幼子）坐在餐桌一起进餐；享受团圆饭（平日各持饭碟对着电视机进食）。

年初一夜。幼子买了西餐，庆祝新年夜。食物虽平凡，但我们三人健康，喜悦地坐在一起进餐；我感觉无限快慰。但愿这起团圆饭能持续下去……

深夜里，下着细雨，我走过母亲往日的睡房，我忆起父母在世时的热闹团圆饭。我想起从前，想起往事，想起父母，家人和亲友在细雨飘飞的农历新年夜。

Reunion Dinner
William Choo

Chinese new year eve, my youngest son bought back Malay food. Three of us(my wife, myself and my youngest son) sat together at the dinning table to enjoy our reunion dinner (usual day, each of us holding a rice plate, facing TV and eat separately).

To-night was the first day of Chinese new year. My youngest son bought back western food to celebrate our new year dinner. The food is common, but we are healthy and joyful to eat together. I was very happy and I hope our new year reunion dinner will continue for years.

Mid-night, it was drizzling, I reminisced the past, cherished the memory of my late mother, family members and friends.
