I have come to the conclusion to call it Lunar New Year...because why should I call it Chinese New Year when the Viet's celebrate it too!! And to be nice... I won't call it Vietnamese New Year... because that's just mean to the Chinese LOL!! So...Lunar New Year it is...
And what a strange one it was.... landing on the westernised 'Valentines Day'..... hmmm.. interesting...
My day started with an early drive to the city for work.... but I knew when I left I would be there way earlier than start time...so I had this quick thinking to go over to the wonderful Church of Mary MacKillop...what a better way to start.... well... my supposed 'New Year'.... seeing as the 2010 New Year was a strange one.... I was happy to pretend this was my so called 'new start':)
I was getting to that point where I did need her inspiration and guidance...so all in good time :)
Then I get to work to be greeted with 'so have you got a Valentinen today'... LOL! How good... but weird it felt.... so many thoughts running through my mind.... mixed emotions I guess...
ANYWAYS... so Lunar New Year...
the mark of my official new start.... I have given myself 31 + 13 days (Jan + 13days of Feb) to fart ass around and find my feet... that's enough isn't it? 44 days???
Sometimes I wonder though.... what does the future hold.... and sometimes it really worries me.... but I have been told over and over again to take it day by day.... so I am trying... and so far.... it has been good.... except the part I found out that uni is trying to get me to go Wollongong Hospital for my next prac!!!! after all that talking and paperwork to stay local... sigh.....
So now...again....I wait for the future to become the present.... for that determines one's mindset... headspace.... feelings and thoughts....
Happy Lunar New Year to all those who celebrate it!! as for Valentines Day.... bleh!!
Make the year of the Tiger a super-fantastic-awesome-successful year for me... PLEASE!!!!! (and for all those I care about too.. hehehehehe!!!)
