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. :-)

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...
