Days After Losar

At this moment, time is all mine. I have so many things to commit to and fulfil them. As a saying goes, “Time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself”. I am determined to use my days wisely as much as I could.

I have been doing quite a lot of thinking about my life; where is it going? Where will it go? What has life stored in for me? Blah blah blah. All I know is Life can change in a blink of an eye as tomorrow is promised to no one. You never know what will happen tomorrow.

Life is a battle. I have learned the hard way about my life. It is troublesome but it is fun. You know it, once you start to grow up. I mean, once you begin to realise that growing up is not easy and what you once fantasized about grown-ups as smart and independent is a Farce. It takes time and hard work to earn it and live a normal life.

The weather, as we all know is an unpredictable one, everywhere I go, and I have to be ready with umbrella. If it was hot, I have no choice but to seek shelter under the shade wherever possible. This time, I didn’t want to bring on freckles.
The fact that I have to attend numerous appointments and travel to Sydney, it makes all the sense to get a UV Protection Sunscreen. It is Pricy. Sometimes it makes me angry that humans have so many flaws that need to be looked after. Sigh!

I have learned that life is all about taking risk, making memories and cherishing it. Life is about the choices we make; the good, the bad, the easy and the hard, so no matter what the choice is you have to make sure you can live with it. Sometimes I wonder what if life was just a fairy tale, you can cover up the error in your life by magic.

I wish and hope the Comings days will be a blessed one.


p,s, When things happen that’s out of your control, you can’t help but THINK!

Celebrating the New Year 2014

What a perfect day to start writing on my blog. Today's Buddhist New Year is a special day for all the Bhutanese people. This is the time where families and friends gather to celebrate the day by eating delicious meal, drinking and playing games.

Losar as we call it , is mostly observed at home with families and friends. Some go to temple for prayers on this occasion while some go out with friends as an additional fun on Losar. Correct me if I am wrong, men go out to play Archery on Losar to mark the day.

I probably am missing quite a lot of fun there in Bhutan. Howsoever, we had a small gathering at one of Ph.D families house. We say that if there is something/someone missing in your life, there is always another person that fills up the gap. So yeah, the small Wollongong family filled my day.

The days went by with each one of us preparing a different curry for lunch. Man of the house cooked mushroom with Datsi and soup. A guy friend prepared Ezay for Momo that was already cooked on the previous day. Another friend cooked fried beef with Sag. Lastly, I had my task cooking Chicken. I must say, all the curries were delicious. The smell of the curries was taking me to heaven because the chilli was from Bhutan. The aroma of Chilli is different. I like Bhutan's chilli :)

Well, we didn't really have anything planned for the day except for going to Mt. Keira (Wollongong). Actually, our plan to go to Mt. Keira for Picnic was ruined because of the rain. Although, we made it there after the sky got cleared. Lucky eh!


Well, this year's Losar is a celebration of remembrance and renewal for me. I have been away from my home country for almost two and half years now. I have missed my friends who left to Bhutan and who are in Bhutan. Now with new friends, it is just another moment to share my Losar with. This is just the beginning of another year and I shall have many more years to celebrate the day.

HAPPY LOSAR. I hope everyone had a wonderful and a memorable one.
