Back to reality... (after Chinese New Year)

The much anticipated Chinese New Year had come and go with a blink of eyes, last weekend it was the Chap Goh Meh (the 15th day of CNY), and it marked the end of the Chinese New Year's celebrations and our normal routines start again.

Returning to reality, starting normal working / schooling hours, traffic jams, meetings, deadlines, trainings, appointments... the list can go on and on... everyone is going back to their normal practise to work hard for a living. During the passed 2 weeks, the world seemed to have stop turning, most of the people were indulging themselves in the spirit of the holidays and whatever that could be put on hold were being put on hold. Nothing is more important to enjoy the New Year and spend time with the family.

I returned to work on the 4th day of Chinese New Year, according to my Chinese zodiac, it was the most auspicious day this year for a Snake to start work... Not being superstitious, but since I have read it somewhere, might as well just practise it; at least with this, I'll always believe that I have had a good start this New Year, and whatever comes my way can only be fortunate and properous.

All well, ends well. I am very Chinese about it.
