2013 is here and Chinese New Year is just around the corner!!! I saw on newspaper and listened to radio about new year resolution or goal setting. I don't recall my last year's resolution and this year I am going to set a few. Goals should be small, specific and achievable rather than big ones because small specific goals will lead us to ponder how to achieve it and large goals will just slip pass out minds. What I will set are financial goals and health goals. This 2013 is going to be a great year ahead.
There is a nice new year song by Malaysian artists called《新年好心情好》. This song is a collaboration between One Fm, Ntv7, and 8TV thus the artists in this collaboration are named 178, which also means 一起发, prosper together.

Live the Moment
It's been years since I last logged into this account and have new post. After so long I left this blog and now coming back, the first thing that I realize is the interface for writing a new blog post had changed!! It looks more user-friendly and hope it will be easy to use =)
Yesterday while I was on MRT back to my home, I saw a scenario that catches my eye. A woman and her daughter was coming in from one of the stations and in the woman's hand there was an iphone. She was very occupied with her phone from the moment she sat down and until she left the train. Her daughter, around early primary school age, on the other hand, had no phone but a sling bag. A lot of the times she was looking at her mother, wanting to get attention from her mother. I can tell from the daughter's face that she was disappointed. She was smiling looking up at her mother but frowning looking down. This continues to happened for sometime. Even when they are having a conversation, only the daughter was looking at her mom while her mother's sight still hanging on the iphone screen.
Sometimes technologies which are suppose to bring us closer together are preventing our interactions, defeating the purpose of it. The things that are very dear to us comes at no cost at all but we indulge and treasure the materials that relates to monetary value. I hope that all of us can realize that there are more important things that need our attention than physical stuffs. However, a lot of the times, conditions need to be met before we can really be with our loved ones.
