Reunion Dinner

Dear blog,

I've recently realised that I've missed 2 reunion dinners and planning to do the same for the third one.

Students, working class, sons and daughters. Some think that a Reunion Dinner is just a dinner, one like any other. Till one day it is gone and lost forever. It happens I tell you, it really does. Few of the common excuses of not having a Reunion Dinner are, too busy to attend, too hectic to organise, no one attending because everyone is overseas (or feuding), etc.

I've come to realised that being in a reunion dinner is a greatly rewarding experience. You learn the tradition, learn the respect. Learn to know cousins or relatives you don't know existed. You learn to address elders by their correct names and relation. Not to mention to savour the food and recipes that had been cooking for years. The plates and bowls with tiny cracks and motives of fish, roosters and chinese characters. The unventilated dining hall where adults dine separately from kids because there wasn't enough spaces. And, passing the only soy sauce bottle person to person to add into their soupy rice.

It was hot, sweaty, loud and merry, that is how a Hakka-style Reunion dinner should be.

I am going back for CNY. With a mission to revive the tradition taken from me.

For those who still has Reunion dinners in their family, I implore you to cherish this great tradition.

Spring :D :D :D

Spring hath cometh!

Damn! I'm gonna learn this song!

Did the movie 'Music and Lyrics' copy this?

The Bad Mood Post

Sometimes...

We gotta let go of things in order to venture into the future. For holding on to things like people, habits, principles, attitudes, expectations, opinions and etc, will simply just cause retardation to any possible developments.

Without doubt, that the present holds greater importance than the past and even the future. But since humans are essentially emotional creatures, the past often find ways to sneak up from behind and seize a moment of insanity. For that brief moment, the body suffocates and every muscle would cringe. The mind feels like it is being sliced by a razor blade and your forehead wrinkles up.

And all you could do is scream and curse under your sheets.

With such distress in mind, what will relieve or prevent such agony from occuring?

None?

Or maybe the BETTER question is, why would I stop these emotional seizures from happening?

Everyone has done things that deserves either to be rewarded or punished. Best get along with the consequences and don't be frustrated by it. Keeping my conscience always works till now. At the same time, i'm leaving my principles outside too.

Emotion is a tacky little bitch. Sometimes.

Today I'm in a Good Mood

Yes I am.

See, because I'm smiling.

You can't see it, of course.

It's your loss really, for everything around me seems so right.

So I am telling you, I'm blissful for all the reasons possible.

Let me tell you what I'm going to do later.

I'm going to have some mashed potatoes, vegs and pan-fried salmon for dinner.

Then, I'm gonna finish the JCVD movie.

Damn, this feels gooooood.

Premonition

While i lay on my bed, for a nap. This stuck me.

"Maybe in the future, death will become a choice not an ultimatum."

And this too...

"...with my PR, I can earn some money by going into the fake marriage business. According to my sources, it pays $17,000 to $20,000 aud...

...Woot."
