Old-School Hangout.

On Friday night, we had an "old-school" hangout at Bugis Parco. Erm, its not the school outing, just the three of us (the infamous PMS males), doing some "old-school" stuffs. It had been a very long time since I visited the arcade. The old machines are still there, but there are also plenty of new additions. Those super big screen, first person shooting games are awesome. Each game cost one dollar. So I only watched, as usual, like the old times. ha ha. In the end we did play one game, yeah the daytona! Apparently it was too old/slow for teenagers these days, so there were plenty of seats for us. Daytona brings back fond memories. It was like one of the only two, three games I played in arcade. Then we found these machines where you put coins in and turn a knob and you'll get this lil' egg shaped containers with a toy in them. Yah yah yah, that one lorh...! heh heh. I know you also tried before right? Anyway, I wanted to get the One piece's Sanji for my girlfriend. So I tried my luck, despite the fact that each toy was 3 dollars. I didn't get Sanji, I got the hidden character (not sure of his name), maybe it was rare. So I tried again, it was the hidden character again! So rare huh? I must be super lucky eh. Then Justus tried. Hidden character again! Wah seh, just nice, 9 bucks for 3 hidden characters in a row. Each for one of us. Duh. It had just become the new initiation ritual to join our clique. By the way, there were seven possible characters as you can see below.

We couldn't believe our luck, so we tried again. This time we weren't that lucky anymore. Justus got Luffy. For me, still no Sanji, but better than nothing! Now my girlfriend is now a proud owner of a Nico Robin ornament below!

For old time sake, we also went for a drink at the bubble-tea shop. Yeah, the authentic bubble tea served in a glass cup, not those packet ones in the neighbourhood shops. I am sure most of you had alot of nice times at those bubble tea shops too right? hee hee.

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
