Dawn of the new era.

When do I start writing about the dawn of the new era, about the start of new phase? I read many. They talked about their future, about where to go from here, about the last days of exams, the last day of their academic life. I don't think I am quite ready yet. Not till the day when its all confirm (exams results out la), will the burden lay to rest. I guess that's one of my greatest weakness. I'm unable to commit myself fully for anything until I know I have the capability to do it. Perhaps its the fear of failure *touchwood!!!*. But then again, I have been telling myself, "Why not do your best, why short change youself?". And it had been quite effective.

I think luck has some role to play in it as well. Since luck had been on my side this week, most things had went well. In fact, after the successful presentation, the interview was good, I was offered a job, and I signed for the job. The luck will probably stop somewhere. And it sorta did when I went for my medical checkup. Was told that I have hypertension, probably need medication. I suspect its the Mac I had for lunch, the stress derived from school, but its probably just self-denial. I do have to start on a strict diet and exercise regime (something I talked about donkey years ago). Its not the end of the world yet for me, things are looking good. With a lil' fine tuning here and there, I should be a happy guy right? At least some ppl will say, "Hey you found a job liao, what else you want?". Yeah, I should keep my chin up, I ain't exact a "patient" or anything.

With all that happening, the thoughts and plans of the new era will have to wait. Perhaps I still can review somethings from the present phase. I have decided to publish the secret (few have read it) diary of leslielim (yesh, thats my name). It is entitled "Before I Grow Old" or BIGO for short (yes, its a rip off, but I like it and its fitting). It contains the diary entries which I sent to some close friends during in the 2nd semester of my freshman year (which I mentioned in the first entry of this blog). You can say its a peek into my untamed youth, to inflate my silly ego, mostly its just for laugh. Here's the address: beek-oh.blogspot.com

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!
