Chinese New Year - 2012

Gong Xi Fa Chai

Finally, the year of Dragon is here!! Wishing everyone to have a great fortune ahead. Living in Australia for the last 5 years, makes me miss all the tradition i used to do back in Medan. Back then in Medan, a week before CNY, we going to break our piggy bank and rushing to the market to buy new cloth. At home the smell of a freshly baked cake fill through the house. The eldest will be busy preparing the foods and red pocket (Hong Bao) to be given out to the kids. Then, people start visiting their elders and other relatives.

Here in Australia, you can't really feel Chinese New Year celebration. People busy with their job, no time to bake the cake and if you have relatives, most of them lives far away. Meaning, no Red Pocket.
However, lucky me to at least still celebrate the Chinese New Year Eve by having family dinner.

Well, I hope this Water Dragon really gives us the fortune rain for each of us.

When i grow up, i wanna be......

I believe, when we were still kids, there were so many times we were asked by adult "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I still remember, up until 15 years old, my dream was to become a Secretary (i wonder why??) Then, when i entered high school and started playing "The Sims 2", i changed my mind and wanted to become an Interior Designer. Then, there was a time i wanted to become a Psychiatrist (Just because i thought the job is really easy, you only have to listen to people problems) Nope, the lists still goes on and on.....I wanted to become a News Reader (just because I joined an English News Reader competition) a Wedding Organiser (Just because i want to experience the "I Do" moments)

Guess what? Here i am, 23 years old and still don't know what i want to do in the future....Sometimes i really envy those people who works in the field that they love and the things they passion about.

Am I afraid to step up and take any risk? Yeah..maybe deep in my heart, i just afraid of losing my time and energy doing something and I ended up hating the job. Let me tell you a secret, I don't know how many times I tried to change my courses just because I was so confused and scared that I cannot do it properly. But guess what? In the end, I told myself, whatever you choose, believe in yourself and most importantly believes in Him, for His plan for you is always greater than what you ever think.

Let me shared with you my favourite verse, Isaiah 55:8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord"

So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

God Bless
