Entry_#One

I wanted to pretend this isn't my first entry. But it is. Let me throw in some excuses here for the slow-start *plenty-of-excuses*. Ha, the fact is, I tried online diary before (my diaryland account is still active), but I lost the need of expressing myself online after awhile. Switched to emailing my nonsense and sorrows to a selected few [you know who you are (=], and some real-life listening ears [you know who you are too =b]. And everyone knows that in the first entry you gotta explain why you wanted to start a blog yadayadayada-blahblahblah that sorta thing - in this case "restarting" one.
So here's the intro-for-my-blog:

I can't find a good reason for starting this blog. Here's a lame one: Its the mid-term break. Maybe I just wanted to do anything else other than my fyp (warning: future entries may contain lotsa grumbling on this) and any of the objectives I set for the week (eg. finish robotics revision by Tuesday, gotta be kidding myself =b).

Life is such routine. So probably will not be updating too often, and it may be more of an expression of my feelings, rather than record of daily happenings or opinions on issues.

Spent a couple of hours browsing for a good template, but can't get a good one yet. So I'll be sticking with this for a while. Bear with the minimal-plain design, prefer to keep it simple for now. =)

Finally, the meaning of the blog "the lastsplash": title of one of my favourite album, by the Breeders (the awesome dual kim deal and kelley deal). you must have heard of cannonball, and my heart-break anthem, do you love me now. perhaps its my philosophy of life, living my life to the fullest, doing my best, looking my best, causing a splash. slackin' is part of the package. =)

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
