.....times of refreshing.....

I thought I am feeling the post holidays blues today. I was still  at Seremban this morning and with a bad night sleep, I only woke up at 12pm, with my kid next to me who was still sleeping. Well, I guess the cough and flu medication he took makes him drowsy. I was staring at the ceiling after I opened my eyes and I thought to myself...well...I will be staring at the ceiling in my Singapore room tonight. Since my little Nicole was also down with fever where my wife took her to the doc, I made some milk for my kid, who was awake shortly, and let him drank on the bed.

It was quite a tired and depressed ..err..mid noon as I was sipping nescafe and having charcoal bread while watching Astro at my in law's place. The thoughts of the outstanding work waiting for me back in the office doesn't sounds comforting.  I was preparing to break for the CNY holidays two fridays nights ago and it seems so fast.:(

Thank God I had a great journey with a wonderful weather. The traffic was smooth all the way to JB and I only took my break at Machap after a 2 hour drive. We reached at around 6pm plus and we ended up at our favourite HK restaurant in Taman Molek for dinner.

OK, I be back to work tomorrow and the wonderful holiday seasons starting from the school holidays in Dec till CNY is over. The easy and relaxing season is over and time to get to back to cold, hard work. hahha... Anyway, on a positive note, without work there will be no holidays. How true.... if  there's no work, everyday is like a holiday, but minus the wages and income.

Life needs to be work and play. Sabbatical rest only comes after long hard work. If you're feeling the blues, remember holidays will only be sweeter after a satisfying job well done. Now, work well and plan your next holiday break.

Have a good mid-week. :)

Today is just the fourth or rather fifth day of CNY (since it's 2am) but the festivity is already considered over for most of the folks. Unlike me, most of the folks starts work on Monday and it's back to business as usual. As for me, I will be travelling back after a week spent in Ipoh and Seremban , before resume work again on Wednesday.

Well, this CNY is not as pleasant as my kid and I fall sick on the eve. And, it was also a torrid journey driving under the heavy rain during our balik kampung journey. And due to my sickness as well as the super hot weather in Ipoh, I cancelled some of my plans.

On the other hand, CNY is still very much about reunion dinner and meeting up with long time friends and relatives. I guess this is most 'basic' about the festival and I am glad I did that, unlike some folks who rather flew away for vacations. Gone are the days where I litted up firecrackers, visiting some sweet babes' home or receiving angpows. Those are what CNY meant to me during my younger days. Nowadays, what's important is to continue to rekindle friendship and kinship.

As we' re-start' our work in the new rabbit year, think about all the good and prosperous words you heard during this festive season and make sure these words comes true. Work hard and smart to realise your prosperous dreams!

 
It's finally the time of  the year again!  CNY is always a feel good festivity and I would to take this opportunity to wish you a Prosperous and Healthy Lunar New Year of the Rabbit. May all of us are like rabbits.... cute, active, kind, sweet and artistic!

Have a great time! :)
