I’ve been suffering from winter depression for the past two weeks, I wish I could just be autistic and lock myself in my room and avoid all contact, with anyone. However, it turned out to be my most sociable weeks packed with business events. Perhaps, forcing myself to be sociable in such chilly days was a means to ease my depression. It could’ve gone worse if I was being too quiet, who knows? Anyhow, the temperature here in Hong Kong was seriously not cool at all. It was like gloomy, freezing, rainy and windy all the time. It didn’t look like Hong Kong, but more like Iceland when I was there in autumn. So global warming was just a joke, and the problem of global cooling is what we’ll be facing soon? I hope those Hong Kong style warm winter days are coming back soon, otherwise I’ll have to escape to somewhere to get some sunshine to keep myself alive. Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I guess some of you are busy planning vacations
and some of you have your schedule already packed with schoolmate dim sum catchups and family hotpot gatherings. Me, got nowhere to go, or just don’t feel like going anywhere except spending Chinese New Year at home with family and friends. What I fancy about Chinese New Year is always to see people dressed in a traditional Chinese outfit walking on the street. Yes, it’s the only time of year to get your Qipao/ Cheongsam out of the closet without the need to feel weird about wearing it. We call Chinese New year a Spring Festival in which to celebrate Spring’s coming and a new circle’s beginning. If you’re tired of wearing all kind of warm colours – red, pink, purple which most people wear during Lunar New Year holidays, then green would be the perfect way to stylishly distinguish yourself, and it’s just as easy as a little trick that you put a skirt in a dress like I do to make a totally different look.
GREEN means a new life circle begins; it means vitality, and HOPE.
Have a great Chinese New Year guys!
