This my first post of 2009. Hope that everyone had a great New Year's celebration. My New Year celebration is at my cousin's place, since her house is renovated. Later this year, our house will be hammered and painted as well.
At New Year's eve, we ordered 盆菜, instead of preparing food by own self, which we every year do. Since we want to make life easier, we ordered 盆菜. 盆菜 is a mixture of alot of different kind of meat and with a very little vegatable. It was not tasty and it is not my cup of tea. My family do also not like that food. The very bad thing is, is that I went to toilet after I get that 盆菜. After me, my family went to toilet too. :P
Maybe my family (included me) generally do not like food that is prepared in China. China food do not like Singaporean/Malaysian/Hong Kong food. In that 盆菜, there is nothing I like. The meat are too fat and they do look nice at all.
Anyway, today, I went to my uncle house. His house is also under construction too. There is a 60 years old man that does the whole conctruction. He takes everything for his own: there is no one who helps me. I asked my uncle and mom why he didn't call for help, but I think he does not trust anyone. Why?
The story of the 60 years old old man:
He has been married twice. His first wife left him and she got cancer and passed away later. His second wife cheated on him, which he lost all his money. He likes to have kids, but none of his previous wife brought him kids.
Because he has been cheated twice, I think he totally lost confidence in people. I really feel pity for him, since he has to be alone for the rest of his remaining days.
I am told that he earns money for spending his retirement days in Vietnam, the country where he originally came from. He works early in the morning and after his daytime work, he works in the evening too! He make dishes to sell to some restaurants. He is a really capable man. I appreciate his hard-working. Too bad that he does not be deserved by his wife(s).
Why is this earth so unfair? The world is under serious problem because we are sooner or later running out of our energy. Why do people let money rule the world? Because of money you have the power. Because you have the power you can change world. Hope I can make this world a little better later, starting from this New Year on.
