A recap for the year

Another year has come and go

Yes, year 2014 is ending soon.  1 days after my birthday, which is today.

I have not been blogging this year.  Many things have happened in Year 2014, but I did not make an effort to update this blog. Have been busy and tired to update this blog.

Finally, all phases of my project has completed in August this year with all the bugs still to be fixed. Yes, everyone wanted to go live, and is not willingly to wait for all bugs to be cleared before launch.  Go live first, clear the shit later.  This is the new management style, which I will rant about it maybe next year.

The God of Health had not visited my family this year.  First, it was I who contacted hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) and got really sick (and it happens in the midst of project going live, GREAT!!!).  Then my mother contacted colon cancer and had 1/3 of her large intestines removed.  Recently, my youngest aunt contacted bile duct cancer and it has spread to her liver.  She has to undergo chemotherapy as surgery will not help because it is diagnosed as stage 4.  We are praying hard for her, hoping she can recover.

The God of Wealth had not visited us.  I did not win any TOTO, 4D or become a millionaire.  So I have to slog hard throughout the year. Well, I told you the new management style, so now I am clearing the shit. I need to spend money for 2 years to employ a maid to take care of my mother, cook proper meals to boost her nutrition.  I paid twice the agent fees because I replaced the 1st maid, who is problematic.  I see my money flying away.  The fridge has been leaking water, the TV needs a few slaps before it can wake up.  So I have to start looking at buying these items and spend $$$.  More $$$ flying away.

Luckily, the God of Happiness has given us a visit. My mother is recovering, even though it is a bit slow.  I have a wonderful nephew who keeps us smiling and laughing every Sunday, even though he has now become a naughty boy and a terror.

God of Luck had popped by twice. By stroke of luck, my mother suddenly wanted to go to hospital, and this resulted in detecting her colon cancer and cure it.  We managed to get a replacement maid who is still quite ok and able to speak Mandarin, after the 1st one made my blood boil. 

I did not travel this year because the health of family is not good, and it is better to be around to take care of my parents.  At least until my mother is in better shape.   Next year, hopefully I can travel or at least a short weekend break.  Also, there are too many air disasters this year and I have no mood to travel.

Well, my birthday is ending soon.  My birthday wishes:
1. Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy) will visit my house very often next year and bring God of Health, God of Wealth, God of Happiness and God of Luck along with her.
2. The God of Health will visit my aunt every day until she recovers.
