Hey Hey and a Big G'Day toya,

Warm Delights In China

Healing summer heat
That comforts every bone;
Juicy summer fruits,
A frosty ice-cream cone.

Aroma of sizzling meat
Grilling on the barbecue,
Green lawns and summer flowers,
A gazillion fun things to do.

Summer shorts and swimsuits,
Arms and legs are bare;
Summer’s sweet delights
Are welcome everywhere!

I believe that every human has an innate desire for happiness and does not want to suffer.
I also believe that the very purpose of life is to experience this happiness.
The Dalai Lama

I was born with an enormous need for affection.
I was also born with a terrible need to give it.
Audrey Hepburn

Here in China, we’ll have no more of that freezing cold nonsense!
Yes, Aussieroos in the Land Down Under, winter is on its way!
Here we are now full of huge, warm and happy smiles!
Chuckle Chuckle Snicker Snicker!

Each and every day my life is filled with hundreds of genuine smiles.
This is exactly what I choose to be my 'real life and job’.
For those who believe I need to go home for this;
SSShhh, your boss is coming!

Chinese myths for the creation of the seasons?

For My Friends & Family (hahaha)

The sky is still dark when your alarm clock starts its infernal beeping. Surely it can’t be morning already? You pry yourself out of a nest of beautifully heavy sheets, though the bed has never been so alluringly warm. It’s so cold that it’s almost impossible to scurry down the driveway to pick up the newspaper without first getting fully dressed.

Nu Kwa, a mythical empress of China, was reputed to have become a goddess after she had passed to the celestial regions. When the demons of water and fire, aided by rebel generals of her empire, set out to destroy the world, Nu Kwa waged war against them. Her campaign was successful, but not until a gigantic warrior had partly destroyed the heavens by upsetting one of its pillars and the flood had covered a great portion of the earth. The empress stemmed the rising waters by means of charred reeds and afterwards rebuilt the broken pillar.

Thereafter she created the guardians of the four quarters;

The Black Tortoise in the north giving it control over winter;
The Blue Dragon in the east who was given control over spring;
The White Tiger in the west who was given control over autumn; and
The Red Bird in the south, who was given control over summer.

The moon being protected by the White Deity of the west;
While the Gold Dragons special duty was to guard the sun.
