The Chinese new year without noise of firecracker Van

The Chinese new year without noise of firecracker

Last year is supposed to be a year of uniqueness. It is the first year of my experience of Singapore in which I indeed changed a lot, both appearance and mindset. I would like to record these small ideas here.

I remember that after last year’s celebrating of the Chinese New Year, we are asked to complete a journal to record these experiences. I wrote a passage in which I tried my best to squeeze complicated words as much as possible. However, it turned out an awkward work because that I am not skilled at how to use those words. This year, I also want write what happened just now.

This year’s experiences are quite different from last year’s. We went to NTU to watch the New Year’s gala hold by CCTV. We booked a tutorial room since we wanted a projection screen. My friends from the same city of me and I gathered in that room to watch the show and played “Killer of Three Kingdom” game. It was really a good experience because we don’t need to keep silent as we were at cinema, we can enjoy ourselves in bursting laughter. Despite the distance between my hometown and here, we still can find the feeling of home. I acknowledge that the friendship developed in the process of helping each other in a foreign environment is literally different from others. We find the sense of belongings in this big family. We are more like sisters or brothers. I love this big family!

There was an episode before we left NTU. We found it very difficult to get through the cab company’s hotline since it was 12’o clock then when all the people wanted to catch a cab to go back home. Finally, we worked it out. The taxi driver was a Chinese. It was the time when he should accompany his family, but he worked so late. I want to express my wish to those people who are still working in this festival. Wish them a safe and happy year!

‘A year’s plan starts in spring’, this is a good proverb. Every beginning of the year, most of us may compile a list of dos and don’ts. For me, I don’t want be so ambitious. I want to maintain my current living habit. I believe that remaining constant or seldom changing is a witty behavior . We should be confident of what we have now; only in this way can we find an efficiency way to improve ourselves.

Hope everyone who had read this journal a happy new year.
