CNY is around the corner....

It is finally the holidays for this year's Chinese New Year celebrations. I just came back yesterday after weeks of assignments and work. Even though I did not really have the New Year mood, I still felt many of my friends who did. I attempted to make myself catch the CNY bug, but kind of failed to do so.. However, I did change my blog's header in order to brighten things up. =P

Usually during CNY week, I will be the one decorating the house. However this year,I did not decorate so much. But I do hope that this year would be a joyful year for my family and I.

Even though I hoped it would be joyful but I have to admit that this year, CNY celebrations would be very different for me. There will not be any relatives visiting, no friends coming by and no nice family reunion dinner. Yes.. indeed it is very different to what I was accustomed to but times change and I have to accept the fact.
Therefore, this CNY I will be going to visit my aunt and also a few friends, come back and work( i know that is lame) and maybe just enjoy the holidays. I hardly bought any new clothes but the good news is that I have finally bought a new pair of shoes. Its pink.. and if I had a camera, I would have taken pictures of it and posted it here. (too bad...)

Anyway, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to everyone. May this year be filled with joy, happiness, love and plenty of opportunities for all.

So what?!

Ya so what if I am fat.. too bad...
I am dark... OMG.. next time I' ll bathe in milk.
I need not have a reminder....

And I am tired of waiting.... really tired...

What Do You Do When....

... someone could not understand you?
... someone misunderstands you?
... someone thinks that you are not worth it?
... someone expects you to do it all?
... someone thinks they are better than you?
... someone just makes fun and insults you behind your back?
... someone forgets about you?
... someone pretends to be your friend then shoots you when you were not looking?
... that someone/ bunch of people totally ignores the fact that you exists?
... someone does not take your opinion into account?
... someone assume you have no feelings?


What should I do when no one bothers anymore?
* ponders*

" Life is a box of chocolates..."
( When did I start taking sour and horrible tasting chocolates?)

I hate this.. I just hate it.. and no one bothers

A little reflection

It has been three weeks since I started my new semester. Things had changed. I went for Faci workshop camp and ended up having a rough time there. However, I did learn how to judge people. There are some who just simply talk and talk.. so its " yap, yap yap.." but can never walk the talk. Then there are those who ernestly wants to help. Thank goodness there are still people like this in the world. As for the "yappies", I will just tune out the next time I see one.
I had my ups and downs throughout the weeks and I have to admit that I saw these challenges coming. Nothing much I could do but toil through the semester.

Here are a few comments I have on the activties I have been doing since the semester started.

Dhamma Sharing Group (DSG)
I have been officially " promoted" to be the facilitator of the Persatuan Pelajar Buddhist' facilitator( regardless of the fact that I have not completed the faci workshop). The first two classes I have conducted with Mei Chen and Alex went alright but it was the planning phase that really is quite troublesome. I believe punctuality and the intention to try and understand each other is crucial to enable a smoother planning phase.

CS BBQ
Three words: sand in food.
But I admit that it was quite fun and I learnt a few things during the execution of this event.
Basically everyone thinks differently.. and I also learnt that Ah Howe can really start a good fire.
p.s: I caught the MOON!!!! PM helped me catch it..lol (i"ll upload the pic next time)

Faci Workshop camp
Everything in Mandarin( help!!). My brain can relate to a fried processor during the camp. Somewhat I wanted to hang my processor but I could not. Bottomline is that I prefer to learn the Dhamma in English.

Those were the stuff I have been busy doing for the past 3 weeks.... sobz... I am desperately in need of a new pair of sneakers and even that I have difficulty finding a pair. >.<
