It was my first cup finals on cable. The Red Devils lost 5-4 on penalties. Not a graceful win for the opponent team. Penalty shootout is a cruel and unfair way to decide the winner. An inaccurate representation of the team's performance. "...they had the 'Mental strength' and 'character' to prevail" That's darn bullshit.The fact is both teams had shown pretty much determination, enduring the more than 120 mins of gameplay, and the team won simply because they had luck on their side. But of coz, nothing is really fair in this world. I am just a bit disappointed that they came short in winning the cup. Probably many would be cursing for losing money.
On a separate note, below are some pictures of the Valentine's Day gift I received earlier this year. I have decided to post it because the other day I finally have the chance to eat it together (hmmmm... yeah.... it was in my fridge all along). So we took some pictures before sinking our teeth onto the cookie. Yum Yum! It was still edible! The Mrs Field's Chocolate cookies are incredible! You must try it if you have the chance okay?
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. :-)
