Happy Lunar New Year to one and all!

This festive period is really something that I look forward to because we are given 2 full days of time-off from our work lives, get to catch up with people that are important to us in a way or another, and also get some extra pocket money heh heh...It can be quite hectic though, especially in the case of my family where we tend to really visit all my relatives (which would usually take a period of 4 days to complete), not including my parents' friends' places and sometimes gathering with my friends. Butt...it's nice to really see all the people have some time to have fun together and not be bugged down by the daily work/out-of-work stresses =)

Anyways, I came across this really interesting project that gives people from poorer families a chance to own a bike (see video below). Not only will it be a revolutionary transportation in the third-world country, I also really liked the artistic and altruistic side of it - to make something functional out of cardboards for people who do not do as well as you. I'm sure the time and effort spent into making the bike exceeds the amount that's listed, so really, kudos to all these people who are willing to go that extra mile to brighten up someone else's day. My resolution for the world for 2015 will be that everyone will be more altruistic and give more than they expect to receive (one of my principles of life). And I also hope that any one who owes others money will return the money before CNY ends. That will be quite simple to attain as long as we know our limits and not aspire to enjoy beyond our budgets.

Here's wishing all a goat year ahead! ;)
