I must admit that I am getting lazy in writing ever since this blog was established. And, believe me, I actually feel guilty about this. Considering that I might not be able to access the internet so easily later on, I will try to write a bit more while I still can.
Not long ago, it was Chinese New Year. The biggest difference is that we didn't have public holiday here. So I don't really feel very festive. But thanks Windpig for treating me Chinese New Year Eve meal in a korean restaurant and Auntie Sze for making me all the traditional Chinese food. :) Plus, Sydney Council was also trying to add colours to the Festival by arranging the New Year Parade. Too bad that I missed it, but Lina, Rachel and I still managed to see the very last bit of the performance near Darling Harbour.
As a traveller in Australia, it is almost an assigned gesture to hit the beach as often as you can. Although it is still summertime now, the sun does not always shine upon us. Thanks God we had a bit of sunshine last Friday and we couldn't wait rushing to Manly Beach immediately! Um, never carry any expectation when you visit a place. Maybe it was too crowded on Manly that day, I actually like Maroubra Beach more.
Occasionally I have a cup of coffee with friends at the coffee shop. This is, in fact, pretty luxurious (in terms of time) and I almost never do it in Hong Kong. But it is really nice to catch up with friends while taking a sip of coffee leisurely. Certainly it would be awesome if it's in an European setting.
(See the words on the sugar package. :))
You know what? Sometimes when things go wrong, I find it easy to comfort myself because I know this is merely temporary. And since our lives are also temporary, what is it so important that we cannot let go? (Okok, I know it is strange to write like this without any context. I'll add more context later on when I feel like to. :p)
Good, homework done.

Life is a gift from God.
A starting point towards one's journey of eternity.
A dance of eternal happiness in the source of unending Love.
For God is Love.
Life is eternal, but this world isn't.
Cherish every moment you have;
give thanks for good times and bad.
Take every step seriously, but don't hold on to it.
Let it go quickly, and you'll have a dance that is light and free.
don't worry, be holy :)
