As usual, CNY period are the days where we often gather with our family, relatives and friends. We would share those memories and the expriences that we went through for the past 364 days and believe it or not being Asian, we would try to outdo each other on whose life is worse.
Example, "Wa, you don't believe how much I have went through......" says one relative. The other would reply " No No no, if you have been in MY shoes, you would know that I had been to 'hell' and return..." or "My son a, he a, very forgetful....your son very goood..." while the other will reply "No, you don't know, your son consider filial, my one a..aiyo, I also don't bother much...."
Gosh, simply nothing better to say. Why can't we learn to share good news and fun times when we meet rather than conversation which are meaningless but pure gossips...I surely hope I would not be sucked into these kinda conversation...I HOPE...;p
Besides the above, we would also remember our loved ones who had passed on. Looking back, we shared and laughed about the habits and the way they had lived. I strongly agreed that in celebration like these, we should talk about our loved ones whom had passed. In this manner, the younger ones get to know a little and we remember that they, played a part in our lives.
Sometimes when I am alone and with the radio playing the oldies (not too long ago songs..ehem..:p) the memories of the past just flash through my mind. I received a comment from a friend. She is suprised how I could remember stuff back when I was 5 years old. Yup, I do. I remember how I like to suck my bottle even when I was 5...hehehehe....and also of cos some experiences during my primary, secondary, 6th form, college, uni days etc.
I guess the expriences we go through whether good or bad, they shape our lives and how we turn out today. At times, we did not have choice of certain situations that happened, we made mistakes, we laughed, we cried, we yelled, we learned, we prayed, we smiled, we loved, we fought, we chuckled etc...Whatever it is, we are growing up and moving from one stage of life to another.
If there is a wish to turn back the clock, NO would be my definate answer. Not that my life have been sucked. There were many many great times in the past. However, I am glad I have been through it all and I am more eager to look FORWARD and store up more memories, learn more about life, laugh even more and share loads to many others including to those I have yet to meet...I guess this is far more exciting than turning back!
With God, it doesn't matter how many more years but making the years be meaningful to ourselves and to others should be our goal. God has given the law of gravity. Anything that goes up, will come down and things that went down shall go up!Nothing in life is too difficult only if we trust in Him...Have a great year and moving on!!! :)
