ECONOMIC concerns may have dampened the mood, but people marked the Year of the OX by continuing to celebrate the Lunar New Year - with prayer, ritual, tradition, and festivities.....

For those who celebrate the New Year...wish you guys a prosperous one!

I love the church near my home...every week it puts out a message - very catchy for passerby....

The world financial crisis has made me realized I need a New Year resolution to bring my lunch everyday to work. No more eating out for lunch. It was all inspired by my bro and my sis-in-law. My bro holds a high position in Sydney and my sis-in-law is a corporate lawyer and they own a beautiful, expensive house, yet – they bring their lunch to work. They don’t spend crazy amount of money for eating out….

Today marked the 3rd day of my bringing my lunch from home…..

I also had started my almost daily jogging back……….along w/ eating light meals….I lost my jogging partner – as she moved to Penn State but…jogging alone gives me time to myself to reflect and praise HIM……….

I am still very much in love w/ HIM…He is a wonderful Lord!
