hi
today is chinese new year's eve.
you wouldnt believe it, yesterday morning when i woke up i felt depressed. reason being that i come back to hong kong to enjoy the chinese new year, but because i could not be bothered with the formalities, ie buying lots of things to decorate, lots of food etc., as a result i dont have this çhinese new year spirit at home.
to cheer myself up, when i went out, i bought a poster of the 'god of wealth'財神 and bought a CD with new year songs.
later in the evening a group of SGI members came to my home to have a 團年飯 with me, i made carrot soup and prepared a couple of dishes, when they came they brought a lot of food (see photo) and initially i kept saying that there is NO way we could finish. one member also brought along a HUGE bottle of wine.
we talked, we laughed and we ate. in the end, there was nothing left except a couple of pcs. of chicken and 义燒 (see photo). none of us worried about putting on weight, we had such a good time. this is very good fortune indeed. i always try to care and encourage people and in return i always get good company.
this morning, i put up the posters (see photo), the two long ones were given to me when i was walking in the streets yesterday; and they mean 'healthy body' and ''all your wishes come true'. the god of wealth 財神 brings prosperity, so i have all good things. am now playing the new year songs and i feel very happy.
now i am going to the office to open letters which have been piled up like a mountain, then i will go for a foot reflexology ($118 for 60 min) and then to the flower fair, and in the evening i will go to my daughters home for a ''new year's eve dinner' 團年飯, life is good, right?
with my posters in the photo, may i here wish all my friends and family lots of luck, health and prosperity in the year of the snake.
祝大家身体健康, 心想事成, 財源廣進
