Reunion Dinner 团圆饭 ...

my mother in-law
really put a lot of effort every year
to cook for the reunion dinner,
every year when we arrive on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year;
the dishes are already on the table.

It is never the same as eating out, 
I always look forward to this day
...

You decide 你决定 ...

"A snake year is often seen as one of mixed blessings", 
said the Feng Shui Masters
...  
I interpret it this way,  
So, take charge of your life from today, 
because you decide 
what is good or bad for yourself this year,
the outcome after all is your own efforts.

"Po Wu" 破五 ...

Today is the 5th day of Chinese New Year - "Po Wu" (破五),
I understand that in northern China,
people eat Jiǎozi (饺子) or dumpling in the morning;
many businesses will also open today,
it is customary for businessman to go to a Chinese Temple
for prayers to the Warrior God of Wealth, Guan Yu (关羽)
before opening their businesses for the year.

... for the D7000, 

the D90 has been with me faithfully for more then 3 years,

I missed the feel of the D90 

but I am loving the output of the D7000

Listen to your heart 傾聽你的心聲 ...

I remember as a kid, I love to draw 

not just anything but Architectural buildings; 

in my first year of Architectural School, 

I Aced every subject except Design which only had "B", 

at the 1st year end semester break;

I thought deeply why B, maybe I am not good enough 

and if I am not good enough maybe I should not be an Architect;

I quit Architectural school and did something else. 

...

Until today, the thought of the possibility 

of great things I could have done as an Architect still haunts me 

at 50, 
perhaps I knew now that
I should have listen to my heart 

instead of my stupid little brain
