Be Healty and Be Happy in the New Year Hi everyone, Wish you all a happy, healthy and hopeful New Year! Unfortunately, I fell ill end of October when I had my vacation in Spain. Since then, some other unexpected problems came and disturbed our big family plan. Health problem and disappointing happenings frustrated me somehow. Many thanks to my sweet husband and lovely daughter, they tried their best to take good care of me and helped me cheer up. Now I am okay and back typing in front of my laptop with smiles. There are only 2 more days to go for another Chinese New Year, the most important and celebrated festivel in China. It will be a too quiet new year to us. We are planning to celebrate with colleagues by making dumplings and sending some to my husband's office. Well, I found Dutch people celebrate New Year in a similar way with lots of firecrackers and fire works during New Year Holidays. That did make us feel like we were home. 2011 was my Chinese Zodiac year. In Chinese superstition, it is said that something bad would happen to people who were born in the previous same zodiac years. I never believe such kind of nonsenses. But I do wish my bad luck ends right here, right now. :) "Good luck" is what I like to say to people when we say bye. A friend of mine always corrects me " We make our own luck." I have to agree with that. If we want to make our dreams come true, we must try whatever we can to make it happen, till we have to give up. No matter what, good luck everyone, and , Abrakadabura, may my dreams come true!

Be Healthy and Be Happy in the New Year

Hi everyone,

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and hopeful New Year!

Unfortunately, I fell ill end of October when I had my vacation in Spain. Then, some other unexpected problems came and disturbed our big family plan. Health problems and disappointing happenings frustrated me somehow.

Many thanks to my sweet husband and lovely daughter, they tried their best to take good care of me and helped me cheer up. Now I am okay and back to typing in front of my laptop with smiles.

There are only 2 more days to go for another Chinese New Year, the most important and celebrated festival in China. It will be a too quiet new year to us. We are planning to celebrate with colleagues by making dumplings and sending some to my husband's office. Well, I found Dutch people celebrate New Year in a similar way with lots of firecrackers and fire works during New Year Holidays. That did make us feel like we were home.

2011 was my Chinese Zodiac year. In Chinese superstition, it is said that something bad would happen to people who were born in the previous same zodiac years. I never believe such kind of nonsenses. But I do wish my bad luck would end right here, right now. :)

"Good luck" is what I like to say to people when we say bye. A friend of mine always corrects me " We make our own luck." I have to agree with that. If we want to make our dreams come true, we must try whatever we can to make it happen, till we have to give up.

No matter what, good luck everyone, and , Abrakadabura, may my dreams come true!
