Dear readers, I saw long snaking queues in front of ATMs on my way home this evening.
I was reminded that Li Chun starts today.
My understanding is that Li Chun normally falls on the 4th of Feb each day, however I read an article that individuals belonging to certain horoscopes can commence Li Chun this evening for this Year of Wooden snake.
If you do not know what Li Chun is, Li Chun is a practice of depositing some monies into one’s account during auspicious times in the Chinese New Year period for good luck.
In the previous Chinese New Year periods, when I had a little spare time, I observed the practice of Li Chun. And this necessitated me to spend some time queuing up in front of ATM machines.
However, for this year, I would skip the practice of Li Chun following a bout of illness during Chinese New Year period (details here). In fact, I find myself still very lethargic and tired and still needs lots of rest. However, I have since commenced work in the year of the Wooden snake. Having being exposed to quite a fair share of what I did not expect earlier last month, right at the start of Year 2025, I am treading very cautiously in the Year of the Wooden Snake at work. I don’t play and hate politics, but it is regrettable that people play politics.
Here, Wishing All Peace and Health for this Year of the Wooden Snake! Are these not the best gift one can have? Yes, while all of us don’t mind a little more Wealth and Monies, let us accumulate these at the grace of the universe, without forfeiting the very basic wealth of peace and health that are important.
