I hate Tet, at least until I get married. I dont know why, maybe I am afraid of aging or my youth will be over, but to me, Tet is just little funny and interesting in the period of several days before the first official day of Tet, because I can go out, have a drink or party with my friends. Only in those days, we have chance to meet up and talk together about our ups and downs. Then Tet comes, and I just stay around my house to prepare family meals and ancestor manners.
This year, I am abroad, means that I have no Tet, and I feel relieved and comfortable with this fact. So my circle will be 2 year, or in other words, I have 1 more year to get really new things, new changes for myself. It's obviously just a spiritual courage, but anyway, I'm not feel uneasy due to Tet, with its repeated pattern year by year.
To me, NEW YEAR NEW ME. That's all, maybe I am too hungry and rush to enjoy a long little meaningless vacation.
I lost my enthusiasm toward Tet a long time ago. Probably because I've stayed overseas and not enjoyed Tet with my family for so long.
