Saw this article about the famous HK Radio DJ Yu Zheng accompanying her mother til the the very end. I was very touched and thought an excerpt was worth quoting.
"我们年幼时多么渴望父母拖着我们的手,我们哭,闹都因为想长辈抱我们,给我们安全感.那么到长辈年老,觉得自然机能退化,感到软弱的时候,为什么我们不回报给他们呢?"
This is exactly what I did NOT do on my CNY trip home this time around. My trip, 美其名was a trip to visit 'family' but in reality, how much time did I spend with my mother and my father? God only knows. Maybe one evening out of like, six?
I am deeply embarrassed and hope to make up for it. Next time. Soon. I hope.

Letting go
Never realized how in/capable I am of letting go. Perhaps the virgo in me has always outshone the emotional side of leo. Or perhaps the cynicism of my dear friend has tinged my senses of judgment on the world. But I am finding it increasingly easier to let go and be sceptical. Perhaps I might as well grow up. Remaining starry eyed probably won't fare me too well in this pond.
2009
Finally got back to HK this morning after a 15 hour flight from the US. So jet lagged, but boy it feels so good to be home after 2 weeks away. Also somewhat excited about starting a brand new year with a clean slate. 2008 has been so much pain but fun at the same time.
New year resolutions:
New year resolutions:
- learn new things and expand social circle - pick up dancing, singing, and sailing
- contribute more of my time to worthy causes - Let's go Hands On!
- listen and reflect more - God gave each one of us two ears and one mouth, so definitely spend more time listening than babbling!
- be disciplined and stick to your principles - what you believe in should be sustained til the end.
