This Chinese idioms, or set phrase truly illustrates the strong emotions of one's heart longing to return to a place (mostly to the side of your loved ones).
Skipped lunch at office today to reach home earlier; and chooses to take a long walk back from the MRT, keeping in mind the many rich food i'm going to load myself with this new year holiday.
As i was walking, i couldn't help quickening my steps, anxious to get home where my mum and sister would be busy with the New Year food preparations and decorations.
I longed to get into the mood fast, the mood of the Chinese Lunar New Year - REUNION!!
This was when this Chinese idiom struck me; clearly how i felt.
It also reminded me of the millions of China people stranded at airports, railway stations and bus depots in their worst winter weather in 100 years.
