Happy Chinese New Year!
this is my second time to spend Chinese new year in Israel. Nothing special.
finally, I had dumpling at a new friend's home in the new year eve. In Chinese custom, dumpling is the symbolic food for the new year. I miss my mama's dumpling so much!!!
today, I called my best friend in china. He was busy visiting friends and relatives to send new year greetings. The background noise from the other end of phone-line made me homesick.
before this new year, Hamas won, surprisingly and unsurprisingly, the Palestine election. It will be hard year for the life in Israel. Papa asked me to be careful. I said nothing would happen. Since I came here 16 months ago, I have experienced several times up and down. It became normal to me. But this time, I have to admit that I am a little bit worried, esp. Because I will have a baby this year. I am not afraid of death. But I am afraid that something will happen to the new life.
this is the life of Israel. There will be many woman became mama this year, and lots of new lives in this dangerous country. I wont be the exceptional. I will stay here with my family, so I have to get used to the worries and fear.
I hope I will have a quiet new year. In Israel, no one wish to have a peaceful year. Peace is really a luxury. I just want quietness and everyone is safe.
I just hope this new year will be quiet. In Israel, no one wish this new year will be peaceful. Quietness is the best gift we can get for the new year.
happy new year!
