Happy New Year Everybody!!!!

Well, we are already in the middle of January 2012.  Time sure flies when one is having “fun”.  It’s been quite awhile since I’ve updated this blog so apparently I didn’t have much to say or was it I didn’t have the time… Let’s see… what’s happening or has happened so far since the last time.  Time really got away from me… it is actually Chinese New Year’s Eve here in Las Vegas with 9 more minutes to the year of the Dragon!  Oh well… I guess I better start a new post…

Okay… I decided I better put this here… and not open another blog post. 

As I went thru 2011, it seemed endless but it’s finally over for both calendars! Hopefully 2012 will be a better year but some things one must face sooner or later.  I had an interesting conversation a few days ago and this one phrase keeps popping back into my mind over and over again because it is so true.

”人越大，唔開心嘅野就越多. ” We were chatting about how happy we were growing up. No worries and carefree. Then with each phase of life’s journey, we begin to experience pressure, pain, loss, failure… but we go through each phase with a bit more knowledge, a bit more experience, and hopefully, we get enough of the good times to tie us over until the next crisis. You are probably wondering how this conversation got started… it started because we were talking about photos from the past. I realized that I actually have HUGE voids over the years. Photos are of the moment memories captured on paper. Usually they are of happy times, so I guess the happy times got fewer and further in between. Photos bring back the emotions that one feels at that particular moment. Sometimes it brings a smile and sometimes it brings a tear.

2011 had been an awful year and it just got plain bad at the end of the year. It has gotten so bad that I am beginning to think that I might be bipolar! I am always hopeful that 2012 will bring a change. Hah! There is always the “end of the world” to look forward to in December.
