Ho Ho Ho

I just came online and wow, this is the first time where all my friends in my MSN list are not online. They are probably shopping now. Phew, luckily I have finished all my shopping I needed to do for this year. Tomorrow onwards will be the start of feasting and more feasting. I guess people are merry or trying to be merry, as the end of the year is coming to a close, where they have more money, bonuses, and many more reasons to celebrate.

For me, what's there to celebrate anyway? Frankly I am dreading 2006. My mom is going for an operation in mid Jan, after which the Chinese New Year will be end Jan. I hope that my Dad's mood swings will not happen so often. Early Jan, I will be missing the opportunity to go Dharamsala to see His Holiness Dalai Lama, to attend his teachings and Kalachakra initiation. I had wanted to go so much, but I know that when the time is right, I will be able to. My friend is having problems with her business partners with a looming court case. Next year I will be busy with arrangement of my new house. I hope I have a new job by then too. Next year seems to be a year of many happenings, both good and bad, many starting points and also many endings. I guess that's what life is about, its ups and downs. We are just a part of that balancing act. Just make sure we don't get thrown off balance, we will be alright.

Ho ho ho....
