前天下班后，特地到牛车水看灯饰，顺便逛年货市场，很失望，牛车水的灯饰真的是一年不如一年，完全没有看头，预算不够还是行情不好？所谓的年货，来来去去都是一个样，没什么惊喜。几乎所有的年货摊主，脸部的表情都是僵硬的，没什么笑容，也许生意难做吧！
好多国人都选择避年，根据新闻报道，旅行社的生意非常旺，机位爆满。老实说，在好多年前我就不喜欢过年了；不过只有一次选择避年，也是我最感到遗憾的，因为那次没有陪母亲守岁，过后她就逝世了。父母在世时，应该多陪他们，亲情是很珍贵的。
讨厌过年，是因为在过年前所有的工作都挤在一堆；过年期间，到处都是人，只好躲在家里，电视节目也没什么看头，除了吃和睡，便没什么好做了，整个生活程序被打乱。
小时候物资匮乏，但是却很期待过年，因为只有在过年时才有汽水喝，只有过年时才有鸡肉吃，只有过年时才有新衣穿，可以燃放爆竹，还有红包拿。记得小时候燃放红红的小爆竹，点燃后，赶快用牛奶铁罐盖住，当爆竹引爆时，整个牛奶罐被震得往上冲，好比冲天炮，我们可乐坏了。我是个顽皮捣蛋鬼，还在亲戚背后燃放爆竹，吓得大家呱呱叫。
古早的新年歌曲，虽然不像现在的热闹，但是很有意思，内容都是歌颂美好的事物，对未来生活充满憧憬，旋律动听，歌词优雅，难怪到今天，还被不少歌手翻唱。
时光匆匆，这些都成为记忆。现在天天有鸡肉吃，时时有新衣穿，大家的想法是，有钱每天都好比过年。生活习惯的改变，对于过年，人们的感觉已经没那么浓，也不怎么重视了。年青人重视圣诞节甚于农历新年，唉！

I especially hate CNY this year. Bring more saddness than happiness. Only the spring cleaning makes the difference but if cleaning regular, then CNY is really like normal holiday. More cousins going off for holidays as years go by each year. Less and less ppl (with elders passed away and youngsters either don't celebrate or go holiday)...so sian...how come the world becoming so sian...last time poor and can't afford lots of luxuries but very happy.(not now rich lah)
I think the more developed the country, the less ren1 qing2 wei1 the society gets... :( (i am not referring to the ren1 qing2 wei1 where when there are news reported tradegy and ppl starts to donate...but i mean the "REAL" ren qing wei in friends and relatives and colleagues,etc, in daily life....is really different...)
ppl are going for more power, more money, more jealousy, more hatred, more hypocrites, more liars....more stressed due to all that...even children are brought up that way unlike in the older days, we are more innocent (but now we are adults and many are also being influenced and "changed" but we still have the "old good tradition" bit in us...)
when see billy talked about the taiwan shao3 su1 ming1 zu2 coming or going elsewhere, I don't really like because I feel that their pure and innocent life will be changed due to those travel and ppl bringing "modern and material" thinking,etc, into their life (which may seems difficult or ke lian to us but actually to those living there, they are happy and used to that...but i agree that the basic such as electricity, water be improved but not bringing other luxuries and material thinking into them...that gradually will make them to become like us....to me, i feel their life is simple and happier and ren qing wei is much more and purer than us...I like my childhood days which are just like them...very simple life and zhen1 ppl, contented....
子干大哥，
牛车水的灯饰一年不如一年，我虽然还没有去那里，可是听我的哥哥说，很简单没什么看头。我也认同以前的新年很热闹而且又可以燃放爆竹，贺年歌曲也好听。昨天傍晚，经过大巴窑中心的其中一间服装店，播的新年歌不堪入耳，根本听不懂她们在唱什么，太轻快又很吵，难听极了。
今年对我们来说是很难过的年，再也无法替妈妈守岁了。如有机会也想趁机出国避年，免得睹物思情。
子干大哥；
你的身体有没有好一点？
我好想以前过年的气氛。
虽然家没有钱，可是大家都很开心。
大家一起做糕点，到处都有笑生。
可是现在过年是越来越静，越来越没有过年的气氛了。。。
又是一个星期的开始，年的脚步也越来越近，还是希望大家乐观、开心的过日子！
有机会的话,到我的家乡过年吧! :)
应该还有一些事物值得那么做的...
给您拜个早年! 祝愿您... 新的一年,身体安康,愉快!
新年進步！Happy lunar new year, everyone. May the current economic and financial crisis pass us quickly. Keep your chin up, and may you stay true to your resolutions.
子干大哥
今天早上的贺年歌曲和黄梅调都很好听。
一位音乐台的音乐总监要比谁都敏感，尤其对“刻意制造”这回事。。。在香港，曾经有一位音乐台台长对我说，不要播太多新年歌刻意营造气氛，我很不认同，气氛本来就是要刻意营造的，除非不在这行。。。
祝阿哥，新年如意，健康开心！
