Don't get drunk beyond your limit,
As you know you will suffer from it.
Ups and downs in my life are full,
I'll laugh them off shooting the bull.
今朝爛醉應有數,
明日還得要開工。
平生多少不得志,
轉頭都付笑談中。
(I wrote the Chinese part first. This one was inspired by my other piece talking about my feelings toward Chinese New Year's Eve (Feb.7 ) Chinese New Year Eve is the time for family members to go home and have dinner together, just like Christmas in the western culture. Things are so different since my mother and grandmother passed away...) 我先寫的是中文部分。這幾句靈感是我另一首,【讀「甜蜜的鄉愁」有感】的延伸,講我對除夕的感受。中國年除夕是家人回家吃團圓飯的日子,就如西方文化中的的聖誕節。自從我母親和祖母去世后,所有的事情感覺就不一樣了。。。)
