Pet Project: huey&wah @ Etsy

Just like everyone else who participated, at 8:30pm sharp, we turned off most of the lights and fans at home. I think not many people in the neighbourhood participated – which was OK, as I believe this is just formality. The most important part is to treat mother earth nicely on daily basis.
Me and Wah, my parents, and little niece spent some time chit chatting in the living room. My mother told us stories of my grandparents which she had just learned from a relative early this afternoon. Stories of how my grandmother’s marriage was being arranged when she was only 6. Stories of why she could only come all the way from China when she was 27 or 28 to marry my grandfather, when almost all girls in China got married when they were 20 or so.
I certainly couldn’t imagine myself living in that century. Not that I’m a feminist, but marriage arranged at the age of 6?! And foot binding?!
This life isn’t that bad after all. :)
I’ve never really had new year’s resolution. I think I have been kinda random in dealing with life, and making decisions based on my instincts. Well at least everything has been great so far. *touch wood*
Now as we approach the end of 2009, this time, I do have some new year’s resolution in mind. More like some must-do’s. Let’s see.
- Walk at least one green step per day, big or small, from 1 Jan 2010 onwards, for a total of 365 days, and record in this blog – with photos if possible.
- Read up most, if not all the business and marketing books for small business that I’ve been collecting – yeah ‘collecting’. I never had the time to finish them.
- Set up a proper studio + perhaps retail. This is still a long way to go, but we are determined to do it. Things might still change along the road, we shall see…
- Spend more time with the dogs and family. I haven’t been able to keep up with the two messy dogs (I wonder why they are still so messy at this age, especially Xiao Bi. All she wants is play and play and play. She doesn’t seem to be growing!) and my family this past year. Haven’t shopped with mum for ages – although both of us don’t shop much either. Hehe.
- Spend more time baking. I really love baking (easy ones, I mean). I’d love to bake more often in 2010.
- Exercise more. I don’t think I can keep up with this one. LOL! I need to hike more, go to the beach more – arrggghhh I miss going to the beach for clams!
What else? I can’t think of more now. Perhaps the list will go on later, you know, the spontaneous me. :)
Happy New Year everyone! :)
