148: CNY Eve

Today is CNY Eve. But I am not very longing for CNY itself. I am longing for the holiday instead, the chance to meet relatives and friends instead, the red pockets instead, haha........

May be most HK people are living with their families and convenient travelling shortened the distance between people, there is no need to take hours and days of trains back home to gather with our families. Unlike people in the mainland, they may have to take long journeys in crowded trains to go home to have holiday with family. This year was even worse due to the snow tragedy. Luckily most of them are able to take trains now and no need to wait and sleep outside the Guangzhou train station.

Meeting with family, relatives and friends, for me, is definitely a happy time. Although we may not have endless topics to talk about, the feeling is very relaxed and does not need to think seriously before throwing words out. All in the atmosphere are smiles, care, relax and excitement.

For me, I need time to release from work everyday. Even only about 10 minutes on a working day is needed. Even going home very late from work I need to "hae" for a while, may be 10 minutes or an hour in front of the computer, or holding the "outdated" newspaper, or reading "ready for recycling" magazines. Just need a time slot which is totally owned by me, in which I can do whatever things, in which I can release myself from what happened in daytime, in which I can temporarily forget the things ahead tomorrow.

Of course, going hang-out after work is one of the best method. I need to absorb the refreshing ingredients on the street and in shopping malls. Even not buying anything, just free-ride and absorb the necessary ingredients could also lift up the index. Lifting up the index can lift the whole me up.

CNY Eve is the best day to review what we've done and we've not done over the year and to think what we can do more and do better in the coming year.
