chinese new year celebration

cny starts with an usual visiting by my aunts and uncles
a buffet lunch
with praises in the air
an hour trip to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life
to meet those people
whom i would love to meet
thanks for those handmade biscuits by my aunt

the trip back was a little tiring
the first thing that came into sight was thick smoke rising from the green building
everything was fine
soots were everywhere
firemen put out the fire within 10 mins
truly glad to be here AGAIN
a great contribution by our "dear friends"
who can't really understand
the danger of burning their garbage there
again and again
the same thing happens...

the story ends
my best friend and her family came
its like a tradition
year after year
unexpected guests in the house
thanks again~~

its time to say goodbye
to the day
that i look forward to, the most...
playing cards watching movies
and baby as well
were the last activity for the day

the next day
where something gonna begin
shops open
people started working
helping there is a task
necessarily
did it
greatly
guess so
somehow boring
likely
planning for something
finally
did something fun
giving surprises to a birthday girl on the 28th of Jan
a cute one, a short one
not so bad after all

met former classmates
thanks for the trip on purpose
quite touching to get to know that
laughter were everywhere
in the presence of this funny guy

some changed a lot while other is still the same
a song we sang together
and then a click ends everything
we continued our journey
from houses to houses

regrets creeps in
while silence hits
i should have visited him
whom i wanted so badly
planning was out of the way

people whispered
people giggled
adieus of everyone rattled
something i dislike
though i understood the theory
of ~The Enlightened~

a little frustrated
listening to excuses
repeatedly

don't count me in
say it at first

sad to say
she betrayed herself
not much to be uttered
not much to be heard
the summary is that
we had a great time
with seniors and teachers
a new picture
captured joyfully

great effort accompanied with satisfying amount
this is not greed
this is satisfaction!

today
she is totally upset by somebody
my friend
its ok
you learn the way to see people
from a different angle
peep it clearly
without fail
you will be a better person today

sang a few songs
insubstantial voices of mine
i would consider

my story goes on
with visitors from tkd
i am smiling now
while recalling happy moments together
hopefully our friendship last
till silver strings can be pulled out of our head

a night gathering begins
where there were great food and people as well
met somebody
talked about almost every topic
time flies

we shall meet each other some day

sun rises again
we shall meet our super senior very soon~~~

!!!牛year!!!

thanks to my friends for all the wishes!!
thanks for remembering such a person
thanks for the call
thanks to the villains who taught me the words of defence
toughen my souls
the wound that i shall attribute to nobody
as it has made me a better person
let bygones be bygones
let it be~~
let it be~~~

and i'm now
welcoming
a brand 牛year
live high
live mighty
and righteously
live life to the fullest~~
and lastly
keep this in mind :
~"love each other or perish"~

Wave story

This is a story about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air---until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore.

"My God, this is terrible," the wave says. "Look what's going to happen to me!"

"Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, "Why do you look so sad?"

"The first wave says, "You don't understand! We're all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! Isn't it terrible?"

The second wave says, "No, you don't understand. You're not a wave, you're part of the ocean."


This is part of the story from "tuesdays with Morrie"~~~
a beautiful one that i would like to share...

what's wrong with being no.2 ?

It is 1979, a basketball game in the Brandeis gym. The team is doing well, and the student section begins a chant,"We're number one!" Morrie is sitting nearby. He is puzzled by the cheer, At one point, in the midst of "We're number one!" he rises and yells, " What's wrong with being number two?"
The students look at him. They stop chanting. He sits down, smiling and triumphant.
