Balancing

Leaving a busy city like Singapore for awhile is certainly enjoyable=)
Went back to Malaysia(father's side) for yearly CNY reunion with relatives and i think Malaysia is very good place for a short get-away especially for Chinese New Year. My family in Malaysia lives in kampong area so every few moments, we will be threatened by loud bangs from neighbors. It's Firecrackers=) and this year, one of my relative bought a type of firecracker which is able to produce about the same quality of the fireworks during national day and it cost around 800 ringgits! From far it looks just like a normal carton box from NTUC but close up, it's like around 12 cylindrical shapes squeezed in the carton. Because it's very expensive, he informed the whole family that he is going to light up now and many of us took out our handphone to video it down and it's either u sacrifice the chance of taking the video or sacrifice your eardrum. It's super ultra loud since we are like 5-10 metres away from the carton. It's the first time i ever seen such nice firework within few metres away and i bet many will hope to watch it with their love ones=) other than the nice fireworks, we will always play black jack and i will always lose money. yes we gamble since it's only 10cents or 20cents ringgit furthermore it's once a year and no one in the family is playing to win. we are playing to pass time=)

I feel that living in Malaysia is abit too relaxing and too carefree and Singapore is too fast(pace) and stressful. worries starts coming back once the boat touches changi village. Tomorrow i will be getting back my programming written test which is 30% of the overall grade and i obviously never do well. the report due next tuesday and so many things. it's just like fireworks. You are happily enjoying the nice fireworks and for the next moment, everything goes back to normal as if nothing has happened before. Life's is always like that. when there is happy moment, there will be depressing moment.It's certainly a good invention for video cameras to record down happy moments in our life but sad to say, nothing can record our 心灵上的喜悦.whatever captured by the videocams are merely emotionless moving images. what made those images memorable is our heart=)
It will be nice to visit a slower-pace country like Malaysia once every few months to get a balance of life. if you are good, you can even get the same balance in Singapore. It's our heart=)
