Today started off with prayers at Guan Yin temple with parents, then we had some vegetarian meal.. and off to a quiet day at home.. It's just after dinner time now with parents, brother n sis in law.. to wrap of the 15 days of Ox Chinese New Year celebration. Each of the 15 days was fun and happy visiting relatives and friends, visiting temples at Fo Guang Zhan, Dong Zhen in Jenjarum, Thean Hou temple, enjoying watching TV and also eating throughout the time..
May the rest of the Ox year brings happiness to each and everyone of us..
Hmm, time passed by so fast and now the celebrations season are over.. time to get some serious work done like working and working (as if I wasn't working throughout the celebrations season)
But, there's many reasons to celebrate here in Malaysia.. Today is Chap Goh Meh and a replacement day off for Thaipusam, and this weekend would be western Valentines day. Hehe.. there's always a day to celebrate, but I think it's cool.. It's just like there's something to look forward to in life.. A hope. A faith. An average day came by and spent away and then came the special day to look forward to. That's life ha, it comes and goes, we separates and we gather, we work and we rest, we pack for holiday and we came back.. and it's a life cycle that goes on and on. What makes it more important and meaningful is that, it's them whom you celebrate and cycle with. Your loved ones, your friends..
So, ha.. that's my point now..
May this Chap Goh Meh brings you closer to your loved ones and have a happy life cycle!! Appreciate them, and love them more each day!
