It's amazing how environment changes the meaning of each celebration. Half way round the globe, people are celebrating chinese new year. On the other hand, today just seem to be any ordinary saturday. Maybe not, in the hearts of many foreign chinese students. Back home, chinese new year is one of the festivals that you get to meet all your relatives, eat good food,all the nice biscuits, and angpow. This would be the first year that I'm celebrating chinese new year away from home.*sob*. Of course, the next 4 years or maybe more.

Part of me long for all the good things happening back home. The other part.....

The only and one explanation to that would be my recent visit back home. I'm so used to this place that it actually starts to feels like home to me. I was surprised too. I exchange comfort with freedom. The freedom I have here, which I could never gain from home. A huge consolation for being away from home, the comfort zone both physically and mentally.


....to be continue.....

Then...Now?

After suffering from *blogaconstipation* for a month, I'm actually, finally posting something. Something....

Leaving without a word was how I ended my first sememster in Berklee, and so was how she left us. Year 2005 was a rather *bumpy* year. From Taylor's to Melbourne, and finally Berklee which is half way through the globe. So much time spent travelling, flying, learning new things, adapting to new environment, making new friends and maintaining the old ones. Despite the many changes, I thank God for guiding me through it all. Many of my friends wonder how on earth did I manage to adapt so well..Seriously, I don't know. I felt like I've been here forever. I had the same feelings while studying in Melbourne. Some how, I felt that all these changes had been drawing me away from God...excuses, excuses and excuses.

Now, a brand new year. I haven't put in much thought about the whole resolution thingi. The first time that came into my mind was to pray, read the bible and serve God. Let Him be my guide. After the death of the love ones, I felt the urge to be more caring towards those whom I love, my family and friends. Also, be a more responsible person.

After typing out this post, I realize I'm still suffering from blogaconstipation.
