Chinese New Year

So I'm now back in Singapore after a short 4 days visit back home for Chinese New Year (CNY). For those of you who don't know, this year CNY falls on 14th February, which is also Valentine's Day. So it's supposed to be a double celebration.

But for me, somehow this year I'm not really in the mood of celebrating. First of all, this year is year of the Tiger. And according to the chinese predictions, apparently tiger doesn't get along well with monkey. I was born in 1980, thus my chinese zodiac is monkey. Well, I don't really believe in all these things, but still, it's not a good thing to hear someone say that you will have a miserable year ahead.

Secondly, I feel that there's no achievement or anything to be proud of this year. Somehow I feel like I'm at a standstill, not much difference if you compare year-on-year.

Oh yeah, and I haven't found my significant other yet. That sucks, too.

Oh enough complaining for now! Enjoy this beautiful song to lift up your mood. It surely makes me smile every time I hear it :)

Well sometimes the sun shines on 
Other people's houses and not mine. 

Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray 

And it takes away my summertime. 

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, 

While I struggle to get mine. 

If there's a light in everybody, 

Send out your ray of sunshine. 

I want to walk the same roads as everybody else, Through the trees and past the gates. 

Getting high on heavenly breezes, 

Making new friends along the way. 

I won't ask much of nobody, 

I'm just here to sing along. 

And make my mistakes looks gracious, 

And learn some lessons from my wrongs. 

Well sometimes the sun shines on 

Other people's houses and not mine. 

Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray 

And it takes away my summertime. 

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, 

While I struggle to get mine. 

A little light never hurt nobody, 

Send out your ray of sunshine. 

Oh, if this little light of mine 

Combined with yours today, 

How many watts could we luminate? 

How many villages could we save? 

And my umbrella's tired of the weather, 

Wearing me down. 

Well, look at me now. 

You should look as good as your outlook, 

Would you mind if I took some time, 

to soak up your light, your beautiful light? 

You've got a paradise inside. 

I get hungry for love and thirsty for life, 

And much too full on the pain, 

When I look to the sky to help me 

And sometimes it looks like rain. 

As the sun shines on other people's houses 

And not mine, 

And the sky paints those clouds in a way 

That it takes away the summertime, 

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, 

while I kindly stand by. 

If theres a light in everybody, 

Send out your ray of sunshine 

You're undeniably warm, you're cerulean, 

You're perfect in desire. 

Won't you hang around 

so the sun, it can shine on me, 

And the clouds they can roll away, 

And the sky can become a possibility? 

If there's a light in everybody, 

Send out your ray of sunshine.
