Gong Hei Fat Choi - Give and Receive

These years, in Chinese New Year festive time, what we often hear is ' Gong Hei Fat Choi ' (Cantonese) or Gong Xi Fa Cai (Mandarin), which means 'wish you good fortune!'.
Some would treasure health more and say 'wish you good health!'.
While exchanging these wishes, married ones would happily give out their Lai Si's (Red Packs) to , youngsters and singles.
Those give are happy, those receive are joyful, too.
I am happy that I am still receiving Lai Si's this year. And they would urge, 'give your Lai Si next year!'
Yes, I say! haha...Let me and let's all have the job of giving and receiving
Gong Hei Fat Choi!

New Style of Marriage??

Any proposal?
Apartners?
Remaining single?
Happy alone then happy together?
Meeting less to assure quality time and high relation?
Must married couples live together to honor the tradition?
What marriage means, in fact?
I am asking, just askinginto it

Day after Tomorrow

"China Meteorological Administration (CMA) issued a red alert early on Monday for severe snowstorms in the central and eastern parts of the country.
According to the forecast, heavy snow is set to blanket northern Hunan, eastern Hubei, southeastern Henan and northwestern Zhejiang, as well as most areas of Anhui and Jiangsu provinces on Monday.
In addition, freezing rain will pound some parts of Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Anhui and Zhejiang. "
Highest alert will be on for the next five days. Extremely cold here, first ever in a decade.
I just wish, the day after tomorrow,
the sun will brisk and melt the snow.
I just wish, the day after tomorrow,
the half a million people stranded in Guangzhou (railway station) would onboard trains and whistle home.
I just wish, the day after tomorrow,
fire could be lit up to warm those freezing cold
somewhere on some isolated counties, villages.
I just wish, the day after tommorrow,
food could reach and elderly both.
I just wish...
The day after tomorrow,
My wishes will be true
and the apocalypse from the film Day After Tomorrow
Wont rule.
And I just wish,
we realize more disasters would fall on
should we continue to
destroy more than construct.

While cleaning my old stuff, I found this old (and new) story:
Women, Marriage, Life and Understanding
-- Inspired by a woman’s suicidal attempt
On the night of this Tuesday, I was very close to an attempting suicide scene. A woman, who worked in a garment factory near Red Market, sat herself on the fence of the 13th floor terrace. According to the description by some witnesses, she sat there, facing the busy street, her feet and arms flipping out, as if she cared nothing. After almost two hours standoff with the police and firemen, this poor woman came down from the fence. It was said that despite all the talks with the negotiators, her emotional tension released only after her friend arrived and comforted her. And it was an apology from a workmate who wronged her as a thief made her giving up suicide. That late night while I walked in the nearby streets with a crescent moon hanging up, wondering what life are, people still talked about this incident. One guy even stopped a bus and reported, ‘Oh, the girl finally came down…” During the negotiating time, the adjacent roads were closed up and traffic was greatly affected. Some even cursed, ‘Jump, jump immediately, don’t block my way…’ You could see there are 100 opinions, kind and vicious.
The next day’s Ou Mun Pou (Macao Daily News) showed a terrifying picture of this scenario. It mentioned the cause for her suicide attempt was small quarreling and misunderstanding with another dorm-mate. However, the main reason behind, according to insiders, is the psychological stress the woman -- a migrant worker from China ‒ has long suffered from the failure of marriage. Before she was a fast working woman, but after her husband divorced her and then took the from her, she almost collapsed. What’s worse, she turned to gamble. The wronging incident was but something igniting the volcano. Now the woman has been sent back to her home in China (I doubted if she had one).
This case is a piece on the iceberg. It reflects how marriage would ruin a woman, if she does not / cannot position it well. In a Chinese society, marriage still means a lot to women. Those who haven’t married want to get married, those who have simply want to maintain it, no matter how bad its status is. Though things are under change, it is still a mainstream thinking that women should all be married and get a family, happy or not.
But I would like to tell our female folks, live well your life first, put your own happiness as priority. You should not rely 100% on men, marriage or family. Don’t be dependent. You need to have these basic but essential understandings. You need to balance among these factors, and balance your emotion once you fail your marriage or the marriage fails you, or anything else.
Remember, marry to merry, but not marry to marry. To all our weak and strong women.

Open Your Arms and Release the Rat

Old friends and new friends,
I miss your spiritual talk and support on this site, but sorry I have to be in the spiral of working for material.
New Year! And I have one suggestion learnt fm a Chinese Fengshui master:
No matter how busy you are, do spend secs opening your arms (palms up) to embrace the sky. Such doing you will be taking in the essence of the heaven. Then, down your palms and reach them for the soil to absorb the essence of earth.
I hope you can release your gold Rat to its utmost fulfillment.

MacUp Grand Prix and My Single Seater
|
Posted:Nov 15, 2007 8:18 am

Macau Grand Prix, a messing up Grand Prix.
The noise (fm the racing exercise) started 7am something. I live at Hairbin bend, said to be the most challenging bend in one of the most demanding street circuits in the world. Looking out, motorcycles, tour cars, yet no F3 cars. The morning started so, still I did my self-invented w(y)oka.
Would you expect good things in such a MacUp day?
For the first time, I dressed up a formal suit w/ a formal skirt, for i needed to go to the launch of Memories of a Grand Prix -- a memorial book I had a hand in. I finally got out of the Grand Prix area and down the hill, traffic more congested due to blockage of some roads. What happened? A guy in suit greeted me, he's the of Jane (to whom I attributed a blog story year ago). I havnt seen him for 3 to 4 years! 'Suits encounter in Grand Prix.' i feel funny and happy, for I'm looking him for some work.
Fm today onward until Sun. the government will be offering free bus transportation, becoz of Grand Prix! So when i jumped on the bus to the Grand Prix Museum, jampacked!
The book launch ceremony was no less boring than any such ceremonies in Macau. I walked in/btw the displayed Grand Prix cars with a cup of white wine, not willing to talk to anyone. Well, thanks to Bruno Senna, the upcoming F3 driver and also nephew of the greatest Brazilian racer Ayrton Senna (he won the 1983 Macau F3)-- his sunshiny cute face lit up a bit the boredom in the event venue, though they miserably put him to pose in his uncle's exhibited car for photos!
Later out in the street, I saw GP banners here and there...
I told you: don't come to Macau for Grand Prix makes a big mess over the already existent mess. But you dont catch me.
I guess it's better not to relate to GP or to anyone in the world! Let me not see you, you and you, everyone for some wholesome days/months. Let me care nothing but a good sleep, let me go on the road alone, though, like a courageous lonely GP driver in a single-seater!

Hot Spring in Cold Winter

Coldness is picking up here. Good time for hot spring.
Last time, we went to Imperial Hot Spring. The mineral makes the water green-yellowish. There are over 40 kinds of pools, varied in ingredients such as Chinese herb, coffee, wine, bubble,flowers...scattered in different levels of the hills.
I like a big natural pool with human form holes for you to lie down, dip your body in and just relax. Temperature from 30-40+oc. What i like most is the cold/hot contrast waterfall pool. Cant you imagine?
Yet the most romantic is the hot stone bed platform under the star(sure, with ceiling above it}. Retreaters all bring big towels to sleep out here on the hot beds, but when the night falls deeper and deeper, the temperature outside the platform is...vow! We had our strongest feelings here -- the bites and excitements!

Moved by Lion Dance (2nd Asia Indoor Games)

2nd Asia Indoor Games are going on in Macau! The event include very interesting Asian traditional games, among which, Dragon and Lion Dance.
I was moved deeply to tears when I watched the Southern Lion Dance (yes, there'r two types - Southern and Nothern), performed by South East Asian national teams -- China, HK, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam (strange, no Taiwan and Thailand), mostly by overseas Chinese.
The dance is a teamwork combination of music, martial arts and coordinational skills. Stunningly, the lion, performed by a headman and tailman, must dance on the high iron poles. Gradually, it dance up and up the higher and higher poles. Starting on the ground, followedby very difficult and beautiful dancing actions on the poles, the lion dance with poise, silent point and explosion. A lively lion is presented on the competition stage.
I like most is Malaysia team, composed of very . But it came out China gold, Macau silver, and Singapore bronze.
What moved me most is the tradtion art form carried on by Chinese ppl all over the world, and now they compete here representing different countries. Something in it, no?
