Gong xi fa cai everybody:)

I am dead tired right now but somehow still unable to fall asleep..dead tired because it was a pretty busy day..spent the morning helping my mom with last minute cny housewife-ish stuff (she gets really stressed this time of the year) then the afternoon catching up with an old friend:)

And reunion dinner earlier tonight was nice:) Haven't seen most of my cousins for a long long while & it was good to know what was happening in each other's lives once again..we used to spend so much together as kids playing silly games; it felt abit surreal tonight cos we realised that now nearly all of us are out of school, and tonight we were discussing work, money & future ambitions..It felt like just yesterday we were wreaking havoc by playing badminton in the house or sliding down the staircase on mattresses..suddenly we're driving and working and talking about relationships.

I look back on my childhood days and think that the things I used to do & say were childish. I wonder if someday in the future I'll look back on now and think differently. Maybe the things that I feel are bothering me now will seem unimportant to me in the future. It's like how you used to irked by the littlest things as a kid, & now looking back it just seems silly.

Anyway, a friend said this...
In sociology class i learned that some guy proposed the theory that all religions are unreal. they exist only to satisfy an emotional need that humans have. He also proposed that all humans have this innate need for something spiritual, and so they create these things called religion which provides them with the answer to meaning to life, something to live for, and common interests between a community.

So how do we know that religion really exists? How do we know God is truly there? My friend put it forward, "It's all about faith." Faith in God, faith in our family & friends, faith that everything will always turn out for the best:)

Haha and I found someone whose chinese may actually be worse than mine:)
Chris: How do you write "ma-ma"? as in mother?

Happy chinese new year!:)
