Rampaged thru' my cupboards and threw away a stack of jc notes. Along the way I found a few lil' exercise books. Ah, do you remember the times in secondary school when we have to write diary entries? I found one of those sec 2 "diary" exercise book. Now I'm glad I had to write those stuffs. Cuz they bring me joy now. Who was that "friend" from the losing team of the football match who went home with me, who I praised had good sportsmanship? Why was I so grumpy when mummy was shopping for new year clothes? Did I really chose two shirts for my dad or was I just entertaining my English teacher with those boring stories? And why did I write that silly poem about downtown and birds who treat it as their dining table? Was I true to myself or trying to be politically correct in my entries then? I should have written down those names of those "friends", and maybe then, I'll have some recollection of those events. Unfortunately, now they are just entries that let me laugh at myself. All the science notes, mathematics notes, geography notes, they can go, but I would keep the essays, diary entries, and newspaper reports. They tell me my maturity level at those age. Maybe I'll post a few of these silly entries here one day, something like a "Ten years ago... this was what happened" thingy. =P I think it'll be fun. Why don't we all do it? lol. -yeah right-
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. :-)
