This is a brand new year for those of us who follow the Western calendar. Of course, according to the lunar calendar, the firecrackers will not sound for the New Year until February when the year of Rooster (公鸡) officially begins. I feel lucky to live in Shanghai because I can celebrate two different New Years. I am looking forward to learning about the traditions of Chinese New Year. At home in Canada, everyone in my family writes down their predictions (预言) for the next year. Then we hide them away for an entire (完整的) year (no peeking!) and read them on New Years Day. I didnt predict that I would be living in Shanghai, China this year and if I had, I would never have predicted that I would be enjoying life here so much. (Better luck next year with my predictions! ) I think Ill play it safe this year and predict that many new buildings will go up in my neighbourhood in Gubei! That is a prediction that is sure to come true, here in the fastest-growing city in the world! Another tradition at the New Year is writing down all those resolutions (决心). So here I go! I have some plans for the New Year that I intended (打算)to keep. For example, I plan to work much harder on learning Chinese. It is not an easy language, but living here gives me a once in a lifetime opportunity to really learn it. So, I plan to apply myself, yes I do. I will use a new Chinese phrase every day when I am out in the city. My second resolution is to get rid of the habit of procrastination (拖延) ! I am one of those people who always leave things to the last minute and that has got to change! No more stayingup late to finish my homework at the last minute. Lets not call it procrastination in China, but a months grace period on New Year resolutions. Whatever, Happy 2005131.
