中秋节月圆人团圆。。。
你在家吗?
和家人一起吃月饼,喝茶,赏月吗?
我在家,家人也在。。缺少了吃,喝,赏的传统。。
没关系吧。。只要一家人在一起开开心心就可以了 :)
你知道中秋节的来源吗?
Suddenly feel like finding out. Couldnt remember what I was taught in primary school haha.. I know why we eat mooncakes.. but I wonder why kids carry lanterns on this day.. That's also the reason why I decided to blog..
A reminisce.. I remember when we were little, we carry our lanterns and walk around the neighbourhood.... we whine and cry for those electronic lanterns especially those that has music instead of those made of colourful glass paper or jus paper.. (rem those that need candles..?) Then we play with candles... destroying the whole neighbourhood landscape with all the wax remnants from the night before.. hee o those where the days. When I look down from my house today to the place where we would have fun, 我看见了小时候的踪影。。。好怀念哦。。
有个朋友说过, 人为了张大而不玩,却也因为长大了所以不玩了。。是吗?
sadly for kids these days... maybe due to the education system or our culture.. they indulge in computer games or hmm I dunno.. seems like these traditions and good funs are no longer kept. I dun hear the laughter I used to hear anymore. Less of it those... less lanterns, less fireworks, no more candle lights... less.. or rather... few... gone..
I had a good chat with my aunt last night over dinner.. he told me about how difficult it is to live with someone.. how difficult it was to live a life actually(i find)... looking at her life and coming back to think about what she said, I think its really a pity that she said there's no calling to pick up a religion or follow a God even though she knows someone this God is blessing her.. (well she's very exposed to Catholism and Christianity these days..)
Somehow she's just not willing to give up the comfortable and self dominated life she's leading now and follow this God. She's exposed to so much... yet there's no calling? is that what God says men love darkness? Is this spiritual darkness so much so that man are totally blind towards the evil we have dwell in since the day we are born..? How scary is that when an obvious bright light is shining in your face and all you see is darkness... ?
I look at my life and think.. If my life becomes like my aunt's life... or anyone's life who graduates after uni, finds a job, get married, worry about money.. so works super hard to earn more, gets drunk, gets upset with work and kids(if ever there is), worry about parents' health...go on and on.. more often than not, it kinda comes back to nothing.. mundane stuff. It would be i guess.. without God.. to live this way. My life has been richer, filled not only with physical blessings, but more with an incredible relationship with Him.. what can be more rewarding than to know my life is exciting and yet at the same time safe.. now and even after I die. So life is not just for the now, the near future.. but for forever. Its simple yet complicated at the same time. Lovely and mysterious... hee :P
Ok.. enough of my emo rattles...
Just an update to those(if there's any) who have been waiting for my next entry..
Sorry for disappearing for some time.. have been really busy with school work. Got 2 mid terms coming up right after my 1 wk break(which is now) so... this holiday is not exactly a break actually.. :) And den.. I'm CGL for ECF this year... dunno how things will turn out to be but I know as long as God is willing and leading, CF will grow to shine brightly and lead the lost souls back to Him.
Okie, as for my work.. er.. im really lagging so hope that with this hols, I can catch up quickly on my work and memorise them! Im a life science student!! Content heavy content heavy~~ Pray that I'll concentrate on the things that I have to do.. cos I always kenna distracted heh.. and pray that I have strength and wisdom to handle my schoolwork and all other commitments well.
