During the Chinese New Year break

I don't have wi-fi in my house back in my hometown, so I don't get to update my blog often. However, thanks to my new Blackberry, I get to upload some photos. I'm just sad that I don't get the chance to buy a SD card yet. So, there is really a very limited memory enough for me to take pretty pictures.

Before the Chinese New Year Break, I met up with my buddies. We hung out for a day in the school, lunch and tea time in Equator, because one of my buddy is leaving town the coming day. We talked and talked till we get so excited without realizing most of the people in the crowds were staring at us like we were nuts. She shared her experience as a trainee nurse with us. It was so emotional. That's when I really get to realize the courage, generosity, patience and most of all, kindness that a nurse need to own within their hearts. She shared lots of stories with us that most of the people on earth like us would never experience. It was so sad. Then it was so touching. Sometimes it would also make someone felt collapsing. There is actually impossible to use a single word to describe what they have to do to get through all those things they been through. I think the difference between us and them is that they are the one that are really dealing with life.

Words that kept on repeating on my mind after what I heard from her :

" Life is fragile. People could lost their life so easily"

" Everyone need to find a way to get rid of their pressure, to let go of the thing that could make them emotionally collapse"

" Take a walk around the city."

These words may sound familiar to most of us, but when it comes out of someone who really experience something and feel those words as they speak, it could really hit me.

Then, During Chinese New Year, I spent most of my time with my family and relatives this year. Although I might feel bored sometimes because I do not gamble and have not get involve with gamble for like five years now? I do think I spend my time to the fullest, because I am with my family.

I did go to a friend house, but not every single day.
I did hang out with my friends, but not every single day.

In my last day of spending Chinese New Year in Sandakan during the break just ended, I spend all my time with my family before 9.30pm and with friend after that till around 2pm. That sounds good to me compared to what I did for the past few years.

Then, I didn't know why I get so emotional for the smallest thing now. On that same day, I was just spending like less than one hour watching Astro channel, I saw one commercial about family. All the sudden, these tears just rush down my face. I couldn't even get a hold of it.

Overall, this Chinese New Year is the only Chinese New Year that I have spend my time to the fullest compared to my past experience.
