Superstitous me

.:My offerings for Tiger God:.

I have always believe in Karma 'What goes around, comes around' and I also believe that we cannot avoid others from being jealous of us on anything at all and people that always try to harm us for many reasons, whether it's for valid reasons or just plain stupidity.

As a Chinese, knowing that this year, the water dragon year is conflicting with the people who are born in the year of dog. Being superstitous, I tend to feel that I need to be especially careful, lotsa lucks, saviours and secret friends to go through this year smoothly. Be it in professional life or personal life.

As a taoist or buddhist or whatever anyone wants to call it 'There's always confusion between Buddhism and Taoism teachings', I feel that I really need some luck and protection from the god almighty. So I prayed to the tiger god and will return to the temple in March. I did the ritual with two cute paper men i cut myself and dad wrote the chinese characters which means Saviour and Backstabber. I ignored the crowd in the temple and hit the white one hardly and loudly with my slipper 3 times so the backstabber will 'get it' when they try to act funny... muahahaha 'evil laugh'. 

The ritual of hitting the little paper man is not popular in my hometown. I guess, it's typhical Kuchingites thing.. if it's not a trend, people will be too ashame to do it. For me, anything that can bring me the positive affections, I'll throw myself into it as long as it doesn't involve actions that can harm my body or a big hole in my pockets. hehehe

29th Birthday

Naturally, I love parties but i have stop binge drinking and often visit to the clubs. The most I do perhaps is visit to Karaoke Lounge once in a while where I can chat with some friends on personal or business stuff. It's still a good time to spend if you have some good close friends.

My birthday falls on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year so I have decided to throw a small party at my place with close friends and relatives. It's really a small apartment but on usual days, it's enough for 1 to 2 persons to stay in. So far, I haven't have the feeling to move in the apartment but I visit it quite often now since it's just 2 minutes drive away from where I'm staying now.

Here's some of the photos during the party. :)

There wasn't much photos taken coz I was too busy entertaining everyone at 1 time.. hehehe. For those who made it to the party, I love all of you! :D

A Memorable Family Photo

Recently, there seems to be a lot of new editions to the family members since 2008 with weddings and babies. Therefore I feel family photo is an important evident to keep the family history alive for the younger generation when all of us are either too old to remember or even gone... Anyway, this is the family photos for 2012 on the first day of chinese new year. Jeremy, Jaslyn, Brenda & Genevieve are not in the photo coz they can't make it back this year.

Chinese New Year Mood

As for the last 2 years we were not in Kuching celebrating Chinese New Year, This year I'm in a good mood to do major painting for my parents house and also patching up my own apartment. At my parents house, mostly are painting works and as for my own place, more to fixing the broken pipe, lightings, making more power sockets and decorating it for the birthday party I'm throwing on the 3rd day of Chinese New Year.

Party from 2011 - 2012

Having to spend my year end in Bario although my bestie can't make it coz her leave was not approved by her evil boss, I had to go since my ticket was bought. It was not a bad idea as I made 2 new friends who are nice... yes, when I say nice, it means Great. The entire idea of having my holiday in Bario was to have a good break out of Kuching's party madness. Well honestly, it was quite mad also in Bario.

Let the photo tells you the story of a party that started in 2011 and ended in 2012...
