Family Reunion

Time really flies, finally it's Chinese New Year. I have been waiting for this day since Dec 08. I was anticipating my parents' coming, so that we can have family reunion.

The atmosphere in Spore is really different from back home. At this time, you will hear the firecrackers at back home, everyone is excited for the new year. In Spore, it is not allowed to play firecrackers, everyone is either have their family reunion dinner at home or restaurant.

I can't recall when was the last time we had all the family members gather together to have reunion dinner on New Year eve. I think it was 2001 if I'm not wrong. I was away in 2002, 2003 and 2004. From 2005 to 2007, some was working, some was studying abroad, it always had 1 or 2 missing. Year 2008, my brother was getting married in March, and decided not to go back on CNY.

Finally, in year 2009, we all can make it for the reunion dinner, and this time we were in Spore. We also have new member this year, my sister-in-law and 2 cousins who are studying and working here.

We are going to have a short trip in Desaru. This will be the 2nd family trip. Hope we have wonderful time together. It is nothing sweeter than having quality time with family. I love you all!!!

想法

看过我的部落格的人都觉得我很悲观,总是沉浸在自己的世界里. 我承认自己对某些事情持有悲观的想法. 也许是因为没有快乐的经历,总是碰钉子. 所以并不敢往好的方面想, 因为没有希望, 就不会有失望. 每当我觉得是好事来临了, 有一种山穷水尽疑无路, 柳暗花明又一村的感觉; 但是却在刹那间消失了. 就像烟火一样, 放烟火时是非常的漂亮, 却在短短的几分钟化为乌有.

我也很想有乐观的想法, 尽可能往好的方面想, 开开心心过每一天. 乐观的态度并不是与身具来的, 它可以从生活中培养出来. 我想这与你所交往的人是息息相关的. 如果你周围的人都很乐观, 这会影响你的思考,情绪, 慢慢的你会被他们感染, 就会变得乐观,快乐.

其实, 我并不喜欢讲别人的是非 (gossipping). 因为很多时候都是负面的. 我会提出自己的看法但是并不想知道整件事的来龙去脉. 这太烦人了. 有时你知道的越多并代表对你好. 所以我选择不知道比较好. 如果人家不说, 我就不问. 他如果要说, 自然会告诉你.

世界上有太多的事并不是你我可以想像的, 而且不在你的控制范围内. 有些事发生了, 你只能觉得无奈, 并不能做些什么. 我想也无所谓了, 做自己应该做的事, 不该做的事少做.

一枝梅 il ji mae

Recently, I was busy watching il Ji Mae. I personally like the show and started to like the main actor, Lee Jun Gi. Though he looks like a girl, but he still very attractive to me.

In the stories, he has two characters. On the one hand, he pretend nothing happen and being playful and naughty. On the other hand, he live with pain, as his family was murdered and he tries any mean to seek for the murderer.

He is in love with Han Xiao Zhu, which is the daughter of his enemy. He was shocked when he found out but could not resist the love for her.

If you like Korean movie, I will recommend you to watch this show.

阳光总在风雨后

The title of this music video is 阳光总在风雨后 (Sun will appear after the rain). It is a very meaningful song. To start of the new year, I hope we can forget the past, and always look at the brighter side in our life. Believe that there is rainbow after the rain.

Remember, life is short, break the rules, forgive and forget quickly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

It's easier to say than done. I have failed many times, but I have to try again and again. This is just the process, we learn and we grow. Let's press on and achieve our goals and dreams!!

New Year Eve

We finished work around 4pm. Then, I had dinner with my colleagues. We went to a "Si Chuan" restaurant in China Town. I like the pork ribs, beef with vegetables, and beef with chilly (picture below). It looks very spicy, because there are a lot chillies. But to my surprise, the beef is not spicy at all. After dinner, we went to Karaoke. I enjoyed singing with my colleagues, not to worry if I am off key, a lot of fun...



After Karaoke, I have to say good bye to my colleagues and went for "part 2". It was really crowded in Clarke Quay. The network was in congestion, I was so frustrated and nervous cos I couldn't reach my friends and my phone was in low bat. As my friends were in Arena, so I decided to join the queue. As the queue was long, I was left alone for the count down. While, other ppl were hugging each other and wish each other "Happy new year". Look at me, so poor thing. Then, finally, I got into Arena, it was so crowded inside. As about to give up, I saw Jeremy... Wow, how to describe my feeling that time. It was like seeing the light in the tunnel. I was so relieved.

I was supposed to meet Yvonne, but it was really dark and crowded, I couldn't see her, so just stick with J's friends. Half an hour later, I saw my other friend, Sally, just at the table right beside us. Wow, such a coincidence. The worries and disappointment earlier were all gone.

Thank you to all my friends, to add colour to my life. Wish everyone has brighter year ahead!
