Comfortably Numb.

A belated entry for the final day. Its in bits and pieces... After thirty-five papers, I was finally sitting for the last paper (hopefully) in my undergrad life. It wasn't a big deal or anything, but was definitely significant. I sat there on my desk with the questions and answer booklet in front of me. Then I pulled out my pink IC outta my wallet. I was surprised it wasn't my matric card, it wasn't in my wallet at all. I lost my matric card before the last paper. Luckily I was able to go on with my paper without any problem. But I told myself that I must get it back, I want to continue enjoy the discounts with the card (frankly, I only use the student price of one dollar at the art museum =p). I had 拉面 and 上海小笼包 for lunch. 小笼包 is not 包 hor. So please don't say anything inauspicious, choy-choy-choy. Anyway, bro thanks for the treat... You are the man! A picture of it for my readers. I like the juicy filling. But its definitely not as fantastic as the first time I had it - diminishing marginal utility...

We also washed our toilet for the last time today. I wenta get back my matric card from the Hall D lost-and-found box after the paper ended at 5pm. I had left it on the desk after the econs paper the day before. To my surprised, there was a stack of cards there. You have no idea how many people were as silly as me to leave their matric cards in the exam halls. I also found one belonging to a friend, and a pink identity card. My mahjong kakis came together to play mahjong for the last time in hall (picture of them another time). We made helluva noise, but nobody really cared. You can say we were inconsiderate or whatever, it was Friday, and it was the end for us. Those living upstairs and downstairs, and my toiletmates had all finished their papers. Fair enough? As usual, we were distracted by the tv and played like snails. Almost finish playing 北风 this time - slow huh? I ended the 2nd big loser again. I would want to blame it to the lousy feng shui seat. Even Andy Lau would have agreed with me. We headed to Boon Lay market Power Nasi Lemak for supper. Probably one of the last time I am having it too. Its just too far away from my house. hah. For those who have not tried yet, you gotta try. Sedap. Everything is cooked on the spot. It opens only after 11pm. There's perpetually a queue there every night. And they got all sorta awards from Ch U, Makansutra, etc. Its for real lorh, not like some char kuay tiao stall at chompchomp, nothing fantastic also long long queue. There's a picture of it to show you, looks normal, but tastes fantastic.

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!
