Chinese New Year is in another...6 days' time. I love CNY, though this year onwards, it'll be giving rather than receiving. Still, it's a festive time, abuzz with activities to 过年咯。
With the recession combined with the pending reorg, the in-thing to do these days is to 'lull'. Lull-ing has become a trend, an all day pastime, without much choice. Not observed in all, but can be safely applied to the general majority.
Beside lull-ing, I'm also waiting. It's like a deja vu of last year, where I was waiting for news from the JET program, waiting for confirmation of wedding plans, waiting for possible alternatives. This year, some of the waiting still applies. JET and alternatives, besides these, my report card for the past year.
