Remember, write something here.
Edit: I forgot.
Now that Lunar New Year is over, work is picking up pace again. After all that festive food and potato couching, I found it hard to get back at times. The exercise regime was gone too and I’ve become somewhat a geek again. This time round having sleepless nights with my android phone (yes yes, I don’t use any apple products, including my computers… be surprised, very surprised). Now that the phone is more or less settled, I’ll need to kick in my skateboarding regime, wakeboarding and probably something else to sweat it out a little. The couch is getting abit too comfy for my liking. I am old, but never too old!
Now, here’s a set of images taken earlier this month. We didn’t get our promised sun, but we didn’t sweat much either:) Probably one of the most comfortable shoot ever. You can hug without feeling sticky!
and very sleepy at 1252am.
Well, not exactly a 榕树, but a tree by the roadside nonetheless:D Need to youtube that song now now now!
The weather favors the Z monster. Need some food and a nap.
I was pretty near the pot of gold. But someone got there before me!
When I was younger (way younger), one of the most common topics after chinese new year was to compare how much ang pow (red packets) we received over the new year’s visiting. I have to admit mine was always below average. But still, I enjoyed the part where we opened our ang pows and guess who they were from. Couple of years back when I started working, I decided to donate the money from the ang pows to charity because I felt I was too old (even though I’m not married) to take them. While I still get quite a fair bit of ang pows from weddings, I used to spend them whenever I needed cash.
2 years ago, I decided to keep aside those ang pows and only open them when the year ends. One of the reasons was because I didn’t want to get stressed over the pictures if I knew someone gave me a fat ang pow. The very same reason why I generally do not ask where my couples work or their family background. These information are unnecessary for my work and I do not see how they can help me in my approach on the wedding day. That year, I decided that I would donate everything I collected in the year to charity. Since ang pows symbolize good luck, the good karma goes back to the people who gave them to me.
I remember my mentor once said that we should always give back to the society, through whatever avenues, that’s really up to us.
Here’s wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year!!
家和万事兴!!
Oh yes, I have to say this too. Have a shark’s fins free New Year!!:D
