chinese new year has come and gone, and thankfully no survival tactics were really needed.
in fact, the 2nd day was fun, to the extent i laughed so hard i pulled my already fragile chest muscle. so now, i am almost akin to an invalid, unable to do strenuous activities or even sneeze cause of the agnoizing sharp pull. :(

but, the break is gone and it's time once more to face up to the new obstacles ahead. or challenges. a new month is beckoning and with it comes new problems but new hopes.

so happy chinese new year everyone , and may the year of the ox signify times of hard work and may we reap what we sow.
