It is Chinese New Year again, and as usual, busy always.
In the Ox year, hope that I can control my emotion well. Don't be as stubborn as an ox. But hope that I am as hardworking as, as determine as an ox.
When going to temple, normally the nun will give some words to me as an advice. Different from the past few years, I want some advice on something specific this year (for the past few year, I just receive the advice without any thoughs) and in return, this is my answer:
Every year, the schedule is almost the same. As I am getting older and older, i don't looking forward CNY as i do when I was a kid. When i was a kid, cny is a time where we can eat lots of goodies and collecting angpows. However, now it is finally some time where we can get some good rest.Lunar New Year Eve:
Reunion Dinner
1st day of CNY:
Go temple
2nd day of CNY:
helping in my mother's father's (Grandpa's) house open
3rd day of CNY:
House hopping with friends
4th day of CNY:
pray for my father's father's (Grandpa's) death anniversary
5th day of CNY:
finally get some rest
In the Ox year, hope that I can control my emotion well. Don't be as stubborn as an ox. But hope that I am as hardworking as, as determine as an ox.
When going to temple, normally the nun will give some words to me as an advice. Different from the past few years, I want some advice on something specific this year (for the past few year, I just receive the advice without any thoughs) and in return, this is my answer:
至道无难
惟嫌拣择
但莫憎爱
洞然明白
What a coincidence!!
Details on how the advices are given:People in the temple will put some pre-printed advices in red packets. All the advices are different. And one by one, we will go out to recieve the red packet from the nun. In other words, these advices are quite randomly given to everyone.
Last year, my advice was quite random as I don't know what it means. A teacher told me that, if you have a question in your heart, this advice is a guide to you. Now, I have some thoughts in my mind, and this is quite a nice guidance to me. I keep on thinking of which choice should I made in my life. It is just like the Road Not Taken which we learned in Form 4. I am now in a situation which I need to make choices in life and I was asking around, hope that I can get a certain answer. But, seems that there is no certain answer for such choices. It really depends on me. Both routes seems nice to me, but I don't know which to choose. Although this advice does not tell me which route should I take, it told me what attitude should I have when making choices.
Happy Chinese 牛 Year
