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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
