Aww man... it's approaching the end of Friday already! This Chinese New Year is pretty special in its own ways... I enjoyed every moment of it :) I'm hoping that I'll get the chance to watch a Lion Dance performance and 'lou sang' soon!
I've been thinking of something lately, it's not something that we like to hear; true words are harder to swallow but it is essential for us to embrace truth.
So this is what I've been thinking: We're all counting down to the day we leave Earth; the day where we go back to our Creator or Nirvana or the place or state that you believe in. Whatever it is, one day we have to go.
When the time comes, who do you want most at your side? The people that you love and those who loves you back, of course. Nothing else matters anymore. Not your Apple computer, Rolex, Porsche, Gucci etc. Material things will not take care of you when you're sick and they certainly don't provide you with moral support when times are down. The most they do is make you look good (or rich) and feel good.

I said it too many times, that I treasure human relationship more than anything else. My family, my life partner, his family, my friends, and the people that come and go in my life.
I sometimes wonder why people do not cherish their loved ones as much as they need to. We often get caught up in the moment; become obsessed over a material item; always look at what people have but never come to realize what you have that others don't have, etc etc etc. I admit I use to be a victim of these bad emotions; allowing them to eat me alive; allowing them to dictate me.
Not anymore, and life has been great since. Sure, there'll be the down days where nothing feels right, but like what they say, 'just suck it up, grit your teeth and keep pushing it through'. You'll eventually come through.
So today, let me remind you to look at the good things in life. Time is short so don't waste your energy focusing on negativity. Be happy. Every step that you take; every decision that you make, it's your choice. You decide. Don't let your emotions control you. You control them. Show them who's the boss.
Because ultimately, when you're happy, you influence everyone around you to be happy. Isn't' that a great thing to do? :D
