Chinese New Year
Tuesday, March 01, 2005
Each Chinese New Year seems the same to me. Every year, I have to do same old thing that is Chinese New Year visitation. I feel that myself is just like a doll, sitting there with nice custom and nothing to do. Most probably because I am not close with my relatives and even my parents' friends. I tried to involve myself in adult's conversation but it seems boring to me. I rather sitting there and continue my pretending as a doll. There was a few times, I declined to follow my parents for the Chinese New Year visitation and I ended up with scolding. They said that it is a manner to visit them. However, I felt that I am old enough to make my own choices whether or not to follow them.
Besides, I dislike the tradition of Chinese New Year. I was always told to dress in red on Chinese New Year. It brings us prosperity and luck. Actually, I dislike dressing in red because I felt odd whenever I dressed in red. I prefer to dress in black. Unfortunately, each time I dressed in black and I will get scolding from my parents.
As for this year, my celebration of Chinese New Year is different. My family and I went to Singapore on the first day of Chinese New Year but my father did not follow us because he wants to respect his parents. Although the mood of Chinese New Year is not there, it is very enjoyable being in Singapore. The environment there is very clean and I felt embarrassed of my own country. During the holidays in Singapore, I felt my burdens are lighten because I don't have to worry of my college work, which irritates me. I felt that I learn a lot of things when I was there such as doctrines of being a human. Besides, I have plenty of time to meditate of who I am.
