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. :-)

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!
