Chinese New Year, to me, means…
Another visit to my ex-teacher from Dunman, Mrs Ng. She was a PE teacher, one whom students feared. A PE teacher in her sixties, that is. She retired in 2004, the year after we graduated from Dunman, perhaps to the delight of some students who are more than happy to be spared being called ‘LAOGAO’.
Strangely, yet in a nice way, Mrs Ng and a group of us became closer after she had retired and after we had graduated.
Tradition is supposed to be something meaningful to individual, something you do on a regular basis, and perhaps also something that brings you happiness.
Visiting Mrs Ng has become a tradition. It seems like Chinese New Year will not be complete without a visit to her house. It gives me a sense of delight, knowing that my good old Mrs Ng is still very active and healthy. It is also a good time to update ourselves on how the past year has been for each of us.
Credits should go to this consistent group of my ex-classmates, Yujie, Yiwei, Zhaohong, Hanqin, Shima and Yusrina, for making the point to relive this tradition year after year. Thanks especially to Yujie, for being the organizer in every visit as well as every class get-togethers.
Let’s keep this tradition going!
