Metamorphosing; Capturing the sweetness in life

Chinese New Year

As years goes by, it seems that the ambience for Chinese New Year is getting weaker and weaker here. The main purpose of this festive and significant season seems to deviate from generation to generation. The preparations, the crowds, the reasons and the ambience seems to be diminishing, and in many years to come, i guess no one might want to celebrate this festival.

I was in a cab just now and the taxi driver shared his experiences about the new year he had in the past and what he was enjoying now. He sounded very sad and full of disillusions, it seems that he have see no future for this festive season. Do you feel the same? If you ask me, i would say Yes and No.

YES - It is an open secret that most of my family-relatives are competitive in nature. Whenever you bump into them, they would compare everything in life; careers, studies, life and many more. I simply get sick and tired of such things. I mean, yes, you can compare, but should not do to an extent that you degraded someone and make him feel so miserable and sad. He's, afterall, a human. A human that has every right to choose what he wants and hope. A human that has every right to decide what he wants. He does not owe anyone a living. Let him be, guide him if you must. But not to degrade him so as to make yourself feel better.

NO - Chinese New Year is always a time where holidays can be fully used to play and have fun. As for me, I have found a new good brother this new year. We spent our whole saturday (Chinese New Year eve) talking at Vivocity and share secrets around. Well, maybe Simin is right - treasure your loved ones, you would never know when you might not have the chance to do so. Yeah, treasure them, love them, cherish them.

I guess this festival is a good reason for me to leave the old feelings and look for new hopes. Inactive things/people/ stuffs are forever inactive, there is completely no point for me to send over any greeting cards and any stuffs to show i care. Put off and be happy.

Yup...

Anyway, just would like to take this opportunity to thank my bro for giving my such a good time.
Happy New Year, all..
