Happy Chinese New Year 2008!

The moment I got online tonight, there are 3 things in mind. My blog, hot shower, and sleep. Meanwhile, I am getting my cuppa tea slowly brewed. For the past few days, I have been working alot and meeting many new faces, people whom I never met. Then, the stress level peaking up and slowly decelerates downhill. My hamstrings hurt from the persistence standing and walking as if I had a massive work out. I went to work not seeing the sun rise and left work not seeing the sunset. So deprived of Vit D!

Ok, so much so of being tired. At least there is a consolation for tonight. I need not to wake up early tomorrow, hooray... The Chinese New Year is just 2 days away. The roads in the city have begun to show signs of silence. I am just so glad that this time I was able to be excused from work. But I will need to compensate when I get back later.

So, today's theme will be the Chinese New Year. I am putting up a CNY song here for a while. 2008 is a year of rat/mouse. For those who have not already known yet, there are 12 zodiacs in the Chinese system. For instance, those who are born in 2008 (by the Lunar Calendar) belongs to the zodiac of rat. These 12 animal zodiacs are placed in sequence and repeat after a 12-year period. It's just like a horoscope.

Yawn..and this is my third yawn for tonight. My eyes are heavy now. One more thing about the CNY is that people are getting more forgiving. These older people whom I met were very nasty a day before. One old lady, Mdm T, today, after learning that I am going off for the holiday, called out my name and asked me if I was taking her words seriously. She told me that she did not mean every nasty word she'd said. She was just a lil' depressed by the fact that she had difficulty with mobility but she felt better today. I found it amusing when she said that. Indeed, I did not keep those words in my heart. My heart is just big enough to room the love that I've got but rather small to house a big HATRED on others. I'd always felt that it's easy to love but too difficult to hate.


So, before I go and continue my sips of tea, Happy Chinese New Year to ALL!!
