Lunar Valentine!

Its 元宵节 (those who can't read chinese character, those words read yuan xiao jie) today, also known as the lunar valentine's day. For those who didn't know, here's a bit of culture facts. In ancient China, its their culture for single guys and girls to mingle around, get to know each other, under the moonlight and lanterns on the 15th day of Lunar New Year - romantic? Of cuz its also a day when family get together, and enjoy some glutinous balls. (there's always some sorta food associated with each event isn't it? Yum.)

Surprise surprise, I got my second V'day present of the month yesterday. No, its not from another girl. Its from my same girl for the lunar valentine's day.

Its really sweet of her. A box of hershey kisses in a red box telling me I am treasured, and a lil' note in chinese characters (effort++). I will keep the details of the note to myself, but below is a picture of the gift.

i treasure u too

Wanted to blog it down to show my appreciation of my girl to a wider audience. Let you guys know that she's really sweet. Girls out there, if you see this, do get you guys some lil' thingy now and then, they really appreciate such gestures. Not only guys can be romantic, girls too.

Meantime, I need to quickly finish up the chocolates tho' I have already brushed my teeth. Cuz its already crawling with ants. Those lil' ..... erm... ants. They love chocolates too!

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. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin
