Everyday Thoughts

Hello happy cny! What do u want?

Back home. Ahaha. Senyum sini, senyum sana. Ketawa sini, ketawa sana. Itu macam la.

Translated to: Smile here, smile there, laugh here, laugh there. That's the way to go.

Mm.

Metta needs upgrading for me.Reading this book at the moment.It's called. "Be Nobody.Go Nowhere- Ayya Khema. I need time to absorb this book. Wanted to share this book with ML too -in fact, I think she will like this more than the other one. Will pass it on to her once I am able to.

Happy Chinese New Year. A friend commented:

Friend: Gong Xi Fa Chai! (Wishing you prosperity!)
Me: Xin Nian Kuai Le! (a Happy New Year!)
Friend: Fa Chai (prosperity) is more important,mate.
Me: *laughing profusely*


THat's "cHiNeSE" new year for u~ Money overrides happiness.

This morning, dad's "friends" came over to catch up. They come only on the 1st day of CNY every year since 1988. And the purpose is only for *ka-chings* and the chinese way, it's called ang pow (red packet). Now what I don't understand is, ang pows are given to unmarried singles (ahem,like me!)but one of dad's friend has 4 kids! And the rest could easily pass 40s.
- maybe because they're policemen -

Ang Pows- that's culture to you? Practicing generosity is one thing. Cultivating greediness is another thing.

You decide.

Aiyah. Just continue senyum sini, senyum sana lah!
