Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. According to the Chinese Zodiac, this year is the year of the Ox. The ox is hardworking but not clever, according to me :-) It works all day long but not very rewarding. I don't want to work as hard as the ox because this kind of life is not enjoyable. Pragmatically, we need to work to make ends meet. Life is short, and for a human being, life is not just to work. We should work hard while we are working on one hand. We should also know how to enjoy lives on the other hand.
Today is also my father's birthday. So every year, we have the same schedule: 'Yum Cha' in the morning, cake cutting at 4 o'clock and then dinner in the evening. Every year is the same, nobody dares to change it. Maybe that is our ritual. We don't want to break the rule because we are afraid bad luck will come if the schedule is changed.
