GONG XI FA CAI

GONG XI FA CAI to whoever that bumps to this blog.Long time no see, my dear blog…Miss you.
I had no internet access at home for the past 1 month. I am glad that I have survived well. Today is the first day of chinese new year and I am having a day off..HUURRAY!! Spent most of my time in the kitchen preparing belated reunion dinner for housemates and friend.
I went to Kmart this morning in the hope to get a bike. The bike-assembly man will only come in some day in the week and so I will not get my bike till Sunday. Well, but I managed to get a microwave and a shoe shelf back home. I carried them home. Amazing, and left myself bruises around my arms and legs.
To create some Chinese new year atmosphere I was playing some “Dong Dong xiang” music while preparing the meal. An ANCIENT new year song gave me a knock on my head.
The lyric says ” Congratulation, this year will be better than the past year. Firewood, rice, oil and salt will not be a worry…” This tells me that Poeple in the past are happy with what they have as long as they have enough food. In comparison with people these days in most countries, we have plenty of food to the extend that issue of obesity is worrying us. Yet, I think people in this century are no happier than people in the past. We are slaves of desire, sometimes. Under the influence of fast paced modern society, I once forgot about simplicity of life
So, today I revised the basic of life. Pretty good to end a day.
