as for all past grudges, it's buried. let us all start anew!
why, it's the year of the pig already, time really flies. twelve years ago, same pig year. i was just a little toddler, taking ang pows innocently from the adults and gazing at them with those ignorant eyes. and did i mention that my mum was born in the year of the pig?
but today when i count the numbers of my ang pow, i've discovered something. as you grow older, the quantity of your ang pows will gradually decrease, but the
quality of them will increase. yes, i'm referring to the amount of money inside. the quality.
-sinister giggle-
i would love to spend these money on the things i want, yes. but it just doesn't seem to be enough. i received a total of 5 ang pows this lunar new year, and counting, hopefully. the amount adds up to roughly $150, once again and counting, hopefully. what can that buy me? well, i can also choose to save this money up and wait for the next chinese new year, then it'll accumulate to the amount needed to buy my new mp3. whoops i just said that.
but sometimes i just have the sudden urge to donate all my money to the needy. yes and i mean stuffing the whole stack of notes into the donation box. scary sudden impulse, don't you agree? i always land myself in a dilemma, sigh. anyway, my wish this chinese new year is for all people around the world, regardless of social status, physical condition or monetary status, to be happy.
yes, being happy is the least thing we can do for ourselves.
as for just now, i had my reunion dinner. it's really rare to see the whole family gathered at one place at one time. it's really amazing. and when so many people shows up, i tend to get shy and quiet.
counting today, it's officially about 9 years since
he's gone. as the memory fades away, it leaves behind a scar. a scar that would never heal in years to come.
