CNY blues

I am feeling pretty blue this CNY because seriously it is an expensive endeavour. You spend money on the reunion dinner, u have to give out red packets and so on. And this all adds to money out of your savings.

My mom is also going crazy buying things left and right and trying to make a "good show". But the thing is what is the use of a show when what counts is what is inside? As you can see, I am in a reflective mood today because I am tired of all the shit that is happening to me and my family.

For me, I have lived without the issue of "face" or even status. These are all not important to me. The only important thing is the legacy that we leave behind. This means being the best person that you can and doing the best that you can and then people will remember you for what you have done and have fond memories of you. Not that your place looks great, your jewellry is wonderful and so on.

My little energizer rabbit on the other hand feels that "face" is really important. It is so stupid.

Anyway, as you can see my gentle reader, sometimes I do get down because my little energizer rabbit is a bit of a hassle. But my main rabbit M is great. She is always supportive and good to me. I guess that there is a silver lining in every storm cloud.

Cheers and peace out.
