It's no big deal actually...some people choose not to make it a big deal. Some people think it's a hassle. What the heck. It's a once a year thing! I'd like to believe it's a way to appreciate and enjoy life. If not because of CNY, the estimated 1.369- 1.374 billion total Chinese people in the world will not be in such a joyous mood right now.
My sympathies to the poorer families who barely have enough to survive and my sympathies too to those stranded in the cities of China not being able to celebrate this once a year occassion with their families in the home town. Hope things will be better real soon.
I am in a rather good mood today. Was psyching myself up to go to the gym to work off some calories before the CNY eating sprees but...looks like the urge is fading away. Even the weather is celebrating. Bright & sunny evening. May be I shall head home to take the doggie out for a walk? It is also a form of exercise right?
For those who are curious about the progress of my house cleaning - well, I am not done yet! Tomorrow is the last day to do so - I will just do my best to make all visible areas 'seem clean'.
Gong Xi Fa Cai folks!
