CNY DILEMMA

Yo~ As you all know, CNY is approaching which drops me into a sticky situation. Being in a chinese oriented family, CNY is meant as a gathering for all family members. However, I missed last year gathering due to my PR status in Australia. (Pretty strong reasons not to go back.) This year however is different. I am able to go back for a few days (2-3) but one question remains: is it worth to go back for just a few days? Air ticket isn’t exactly cheap nowadays with the rising airport tax and the most important thing is that my wife’s family is coming over for a visit. Personally, I dread the idea that I am not around when they come for a visit. I feel strange and a bit unfeeling towards this scenario. But if I wanted to be with them during their visit, my holidays in Sg will be cut short which makes it not worthy to go back. Another reason is I am saving up for my wedding, house or watever you can named it so over spending is a NO-NO situation for me currently.

Sighz…. But on the other hand, I want to make my mum happy. I call her to consult her over this problem but she seems ok about it. She’s quite a modern type of mother. lol

I guess I cannot have the best of both worlds. Anyway, I will be pondering about this question for a few days til I make my decision. For now, the scoreline of my decision is :

GOING BACK VS STAY IN PERTH
30% VS 70%
