CNY?

Ah, Chinese New Year is here, a blissful intermission from the hectic race called 'life'. Managed to get some socializing time today, met up with members of F.O.S for a CNY celebration that ended up in a game of hide and seek in PS.

Anyhow, it is the new year! No resolutions this time... I dont follow the lunar calender. But it is a good time to sit back and take stock of the year so far. It has been an eventful one, filled with the most wondeful of times and the most melancholic of moments. For the purpose of not divulging my life to the readers and to dampen their holiday mood, I shall not elaborate further.

You know, the funny thing about life is the bittersweet moments it throws at you, I was thinking the other day, 'what is my place on earth?' . Although it is philosophical and the answer relative, it is important to use this question to be your guiding light to the decisions that one makes. How can we ever tolerate living an existence without a meaning? Life is full of mystery and surprises, but there is a meaning to it. So this CNY, dont go about your daily innings without a slightest clue as to the reason you are doing in. If you do that, we are nothing better than the animals that we see in the zoo.

Happy CNY esp to all you 12 year old piggies

Bleh

Finally, after many weeks of being trapped out of Blogger, I am finally back. Thank you Google for planning to monopolize the entire web. With out you, I would not have a good excuse not to have blogged for so long.

However, the timing of my return is rather apt. This Wed is Valentine's day, It is a day where we would receive gifts from the ones who love us, etc. Well, I was thinking, do we really need this day to remind us that people love us? The answer is telling in the way that you would see this day. Don't get me wrong, I am not a pacifist here, by a realist. In our lives we will encounter people that we love (actually 'like' is a better definition), do we need this day to tell them that we "love" them?
Anyhow, I will be single for this valentines day as with all the other 16. But I am not Bitter about it, nor am I trying to dampen you, the reader's mood, all i am saying is this day is not very special, it is just unique.

So just soak up the festivities and well, enjoy the day.

Amoursanretour or something like that....
