Do You Believe In The World?

Today, I found myself.. (Day 365)

2010-05-15T23:55:00.000+08:00

Today, I found myself. And happiness in the form of a mat with Chicken Wings.

Finally, 365 days! Its been awhile (one year to be exact) and I can't say things are still the same but some things will always stay the same. I'm still contemplating if I should go on with "Today, I found myself" though it has come under talk amongst friends and family of late, whether good or bad.

Let me know what you think, should I continue this (noble) crusade or just let it die down?

I guess TIFM has been the laugh and source of memory for me in the past 365 days. It has been an interesting experience having to write and summarize the day into one or two concise yet meaningful sentences; tough but inspirational and reflective.

This blog has been up for a couple of years now (I think) and I would like to think that my writing style is vastly different from what I had intended when I first set out.

For better or worse, I've abandoned writing long winded articles about life and behavior and decided to experiment with TIFM, which has brought me a fresh insight into a daily lifestyle.

I'm still contemplating if I should continue TIFM. I'll take Sunday as a reprieve for me to review.

In the meantime, enjoy the weekends!

Skeptical: Chinese New Year

2010-02-13T15:40:00.002+08:00

A rather obtuse and skeptical take on the lunar new year,

Spring Cleaning is just another way to make sure the Chinese clean their homes.
Spring Cleaning= Dust-fest.
Ang Paos (Red Packets) are rewards for kids who help in Spring Cleaning, much like how you get presents if you’ve been good all year round, at Christmas.
Wearing black or dark colors doesn’t mean you’ll be unlucky, it just means you dislike dressing up in bright colors.
Cutting/trimming/getting a new hair-do is spring cleaning yourself.
Technically all you need to survive Chinese New Year is a new shirt (don’t even bother with jeans/pants) and a pair of oranges and you’re good to rock and roll.
Don’t worry monsters are a thing of the past. That’s why we don’t need firecrackers.
New year puns in text messages are awesome; eg,“Have a roaring new year” (with reference to the year of the Tiger).
Chinese horoscopes (or horoscopes in general) usually aren’t accurate.
Yusheng (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yusheng) is the only good reason to mess things up during the New Year.

Take the above with a pinch of salt.

That being said, Chinese New Year is all about the family and showing appreciation, much like other festivals, which are pockets for quality family time. Also, it stresses on a good start to the new year!

Everyone should therefore, embrace the festival and appreciate the beauty and significance behind the customs involved.

Happy Chinese New Year to all readers.
