happy cny!
--------------
lunar new year. the time of visiting, smiles, red packets, observing auspicious superstitions, mandarin oranges, irritating chinese music, reunions, catching up, and spring cleaning. if anyone should see the state of my table now, you would think that cny isnt really happening at all.
dinner just now was pretty good. steamboat. cousins came over to join us. had a few good laughs. and we all kinda decided that it was more of a teppanyaki style dinner you get at those foodcourts when there's a chef serving you, cuz mum just kept cooking and wouldnt sit down to eat. dad kept cracking jokes. love his sense of humour when he decides to be funny.
it's quite sad when you realize how fast everyone's growing up and getting too tied up with our own lifes that things can never ever be the same again.
tmr's gonna be rest day for me. staying at home. probably prepare for sales call or something. just as well since the shops are all gonna be closed. chu er will be the routine wake-up-early-and-go-watch-lion-dance day.
anyways i spent the night playing around with codes and finally getting my archive links up. yaya i know youre probably thinkin no big deal. but hey. you gotta realize it's probably a really remarkable feat judging by my standards. heh. oh yea my kms blog is up to. same template, but oh well. im just too lazy to go scout for a new skin all over again so there. :P
damn i cant believe how boredom and kms has turned me into a blogger.
was thinking bout how those troubled families out there are coping with festive seasons admist all the celebrations goin on around them. like those who lost loved ones through the tsunami disaster. cant exactly comprehend the actual emotions theyre having right now despite knowing how terrible it must be. but my admiration goes out to those who are able to stand strong and courageous albeit the sorrow and emptiness theyre feeling inside them. it takes a time of adversity like this to make other problems seem so small. i guess the best approach to everything is about making the most of the situation rather than wallowing in self pity.
yea right who am i kidding. it's easier said than done.
im losin it.
sorry for ending a new year post which is better meant for new beginnings and healthy resolutions on such a reflective mood.
time's passing really really slowly today. and msn's being a bitch.
bugger it.
