New year 2026

 Shoonyin's Diary.

Today is Year's Eve. 2025 is coming to a close, and many people will be celebrating the New Year at home with their families.

There is no choice to who you want to be your relative or family, but there is a choice in choosing not to forget and to choose not  to be "out of sight  and out of mind" especially those still at home and many that are living alone or without family; those in nursing homes or without anyone around to give them the warm fussy feeling and the companionship , comfort and encouragement. 

Once, one of my elder sisters said to me  "Actually, I don't  ever think about you people in Miri or worry about you people" . That was the saddest moments of my life.

I remembered for many years, especially when my mother was sick , later when my father was living alone, and my son was not around, my new year dinner was just a McDonald's Cheeseburger and a can of coca cola drink  sitting alone in front of a small television screen watching the count down for the new year. 

Sometimes we live in our own world. Once landed, we wish to remain forever! Here you wish your desire for happiness is fulfilled . You will discover what you were seeking. This is the basis of human life.

Greed is out; I am content with simple things such as a swing!  I know True HAPPINESS is limited. I only seek for a peaceful, tranquil mind and that I can experience the sweetness in the air and the true beauty of the land; the ecstasy of freedom like a bird flying in the sky or a fish swimming in the water!

Like many others, I also want to pursue my dreams. Dreams offer the soul a way to escape reality. They can last forever.

Wishing everyone a happy new year.



顺英的日記

今天是除夕夜。 2025年即將結束,許多人將與家人在家慶祝新年。

你無法選擇誰是你的親戚或家人,但你可以選擇不忘記他們,選擇不 “眼不見心不煩”. " 你不记得我,  我也 忘了你是谁",尤其是那些仍然住在家裡的人,以及許多獨居或沒有家人的人;那些住在養老院或身邊沒有人給予他們溫暖關懷、陪伴、安慰和鼓勵的人。

有一次,我的一位姊姊對我說:「其實,我從來不會想起你們美里的人,也不會為你們擔心。」 那是我一生中最悲傷的時刻。

多年來我一直記得,尤其是在我母親生病的時候,後來我父親獨自生活,兒子也不在身邊的時候,我的新年晚餐就是一個麥當勞芝士漢堡和一罐可口可樂,我獨自坐在小電視屏幕前,看著新年倒數計時。

貪婪已然消逝;我滿足於簡單的快樂,如盪鞦韆!我知道真正的幸福是有限的。我只追求內心的平靜與安寧,體驗空氣中的芬芳和大地的真正美麗;感受自由的喜悅,如同鳥兒在天空翱翔,魚兒在水中游弋!

和許多人一樣,我也想追尋我的夢想。夢想為靈魂提供了逃離現實的途徑。它們可以永恆存在。

祝大家新年快樂。
