December 22 every year marks one of my favourite Chinese festival - The colourful flour ball festival (I named it myself),

Honestly, after 22 years of celebrating this day I still don't really know whats the meaning or true history behind it.

All I know is i get to eat yummy colourful flour ball in sugar water..I like pink and green in particular without fillings.

In addition to this festival, December 22nd is also my parents wedding anniversary, so it's a double celebration. HOORAY!

p/s: The pictures show actual process of making those flour balls, it tasted absolutely yummy~!

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

-Rudyard Kipling-

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,


And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


-Robert Frost-

Gimme some more lovin

Happiness is Independent

I was in the hospital today for a consultation earlier. I saw a poster about fighting depression.

Can't believe that depression is such a serious sickness that people actually post awareness about it. After all some people believes depression could be the source of other more sever ailments such as heart attack, cancer, suicidal attempts, stroke, high blood pressure etc.

Not sure if I suffered from depression before, but I believe it is as contagious as any other viruses or bacterial. It does not attack physically but mentally and emotionally, which is even more prone than any physical way.

I believe the ultimate cure to depression is to stay happy. People nowadays find it so hard to be happy. Because of stress from family? work? relationships?

For me, I think happiness is the key to a happy and healthy living. I tried to understand ways of staying happy and in my foundings I realised that happiness should be independent of people and objects. It is a selfish thing. Being happy means doing yourself favour and not let others affect you. It's like doing whatever your heart desire without worrying about what other thinks or how it would end up. It's a feeling of believing, hoping and never looking back and regretting.

If you're an adult, you should held accountable for yourself and not let anyone destroy this accountability you have because this can be the very thing that will keep your life happy and more meaningful.

When I grow up..

When we were young, we are always asked when we grow up, what is your ambition?

I always came up with crazy ambitions such as forensic pathologist, lawyer, veterinarian, pilot, singer etc. Most of the time, I get all this ideas from movies, books and other people. As I grow older, my ambitions get more and more flickered, i can't even decide.

Until I have to make a decision whether to pursue studies in art or science stream, I know I am one step closer to narrowing down my choices. However, for the safe side I chose science stream. It definitely wasn't because I like studying chemistry, physic or biology. It was more like as an insurance for me in case if I change my mind last minute to art. I studied for the advantage of choosing.

Then, I went to university, I have to deal with my true interest. It was tough and I had to decide. I tried being honest - I hate science. I guess I have to go for art after all.

Okay great. ART- It's such a broad category. I still have to CHOOSE.

So I went for the most ideal art subject - Business. That's how I ended up having a bachelor in business and commerce. Not too bad. I like accounting. I always think that accountants are people who make big money. Definitely the most prospective job among all business and commerce job. Next step, I majored in accounting and econometrics. I find econometrics an easy minor to pull up my grades.

Finally, I am 3/4 done with my Masters of Finance and I could already see what I would be doing in half a year time.

Can you still believe how choices would lead to the shape of your future? Finance was definitely not in my top 10 ambitions when I was young. I can't exactly say finance is my favourite field but I tried. Through the process, I have learnt to like this field as well, and as I proceeded with it I realised this could be one of my passion too.

Despite that, I do see people who were determined to do whatever it takes to be the person they see themselves in when they were 8 or 10 years old. I could truly say that these are people who follows their heart.. I wish I could be like them. Oh well, I am happy with the choices I made and I've never regretted every single bit of it.
