“It’s that time of year again when florist make more money in three days than they normally do in three months. When you put your lactose intolerance aside and enthusiastically accept chocolates from your boyfriend like it’s the most creative gift on earth. A time when you willingly pay a ridiculous amount of money to sit in a crowded restaurant to stare into each other’s eyes while trying to ignore the 20 other couples doing the exact same thing. Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day. A wonderful time for those in love.” …

For Chinese people, the Lunar New Year that falls on Jan26 will be a great occassion to reflect on what they have achieved in the past year as well as to make a wish for the year to come.

As for all who work away from home, reunion with loved ones in the Lunar New Year holiday is the best, or one of the best, remunerations for all the hardships that have been endured during the year. Bringing money and gifts home to aged parents and young children is the greatest …

Same old words, time flies. Another year awaits for us! But, having to think about it.. Have you achieved what you’ve planned for 2008? No? If it is regarding work or better pay? Then too bad.

“November should be the month, but why he is not out yet?” she questioned worriedly. Day after day.. excitement became restlessness. “Until one fateful day, a big moth landed on my belly and you came to the world hours later,” she told me.
Her statements put me in deep thoughts. Am I “Liang San Puo” (from Chinese literature Lovers) reincarnated? Nope, they turned to butterflies, not moth! Am I an immortal from the moth clan who got reincarnated due to wrongdoings? Perhaps, I watched too much Chinese fairy tales. All unrealistic …

Oopss.. not this. It was so happening yesterday. That’s the first time I saw so many locals strolling and gathering along the street. Everybody was so happy to welcome the new year. The shopping malls were …

Mother’s Day had just past. And I was so lucky to have the opportunity to celebrate this wonderful moment with my mum and grandma. “Mothers are the cement that keeps her family together and her love lasts a lifetime”. Mothers are loving, selfless and will always stand behind their kids to protect them from any harm.
I have a great mom, who had sacrificed so much for me and my sis. Protect us from harm. Ensure us with the best education and advice us to respect others. We shared our laughter, …

Time past in a blink of an eye. People are getting older day by day, loading with more responsibilities month by month, becoming mature year by year! Sometimes, people tend to stop and think, “What future will I be leading?”, “Is this the perfect choice I’ve made?”, “ooh…how I wish I am still a cute loving child with no worries”
