You are Mary Tyler Moore.

How big is the male ego? How many dents it takes for it to burst? What does it take for one to stop getting hurt? Where is that thin line between persistence and determination? Why when great expectations come big disappointments, we are still being hopeful everyday? When is enough really enough? Compounded miserable events are making this day very difficult for me. -big sigh- let's put these all aside... .. . a recap of the past few days: After weeks of exam self-confinement in the hostel, eating has become a chore. Here I'm, eating to live another day. I really hope to taste something good. And I did, after my first paper on Wednesday. I had the taste of one of the best chicken rice at Toa Payoh Lor 4. Well, it was better than any of the chicken rice in school. It was a shame that the Ah Heng bak chor mee, near the chicken rice stall, was closed on Wednesday. Was told it was one of the best in the area too. Shall we go there makan it next time? Ah, I had a visitor on Tuesday afternoon in my hall. It was none other mr shonendumm (the author of "orchard road", kindly click his link on the right if you wanna find out more 'bout him). Seen here below is mr shonendumm (the one with the dorky black-rimmed glasses who one might mistaken for "ooo wee ooo he look just like buddy holly").

Anyway, what was he doing here? Well, before I had my first paper on Wednesday, mr shonendumm had finished his last exam paper (last one in his uni-life as well). And so, he decided to pay us a visit and spread his joy to us. He came specially to read my blog, on my laptop, in my room, at my desk, on my chair, in the presence of me, as you can see from the picture below. Isn't that cool?

reading my blog

Of cuz, we also enjoyed a few games of Dai-Di, cracked some boyish-jokes, reminisced the high school days, and wrestled each other to the ground (yeah, thats what meowmeow-high boys do all the time). For that moment, we forgot about the exams as we relived the past. Thanks man.

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
