Class of 1996.

It was finally a real gathering for the class of 1996 after almost ten years. Tho' we see each other once in a while, they were mostly for the not-so-good occasions. So I am very glad we had this BBQ today at Pasir Ris Park, although the turnout wasn't very good. Perhaps during the next one, maybe the 10th year get-together or something, there'll be more people going. Tho' few people, it was definitely memorable - BBQ under the rain with three umbrellas.

It was also first time I went to a BBQ where we had to "ration" the food, two crab sticks, two hot dogs, 3 chicken wings, etc for each person. I think its good, cuz there's no waste of food. Just 'nuff for everyone. In the end, we still had some bee hoon left for some good old fun - 终极密码。 I had like about 4 cups of bee hoon. ha ha. And it ended we a game of hearts.

We have come a long way since the secondary school days, the wonder years, the soccer days, the carefree times. I am very happy, everyone has graduated from uni, mostly engineers and engineers to be. This time we talked about jobs, perhaps next we'll talk about marriages or children? lol.

And talk about having job offers at the weirdest place. We were waiting for our transport at the bus stop when an Indian young man approached us. He said he had three shops in sim lim and overheard our conversations that we knew something about computers. He would like to hire us as technicians. lol.

I will post photos of the outing once they are available.(provided I look ok in those pictures =p). And maybe some convo pictures as well? =)

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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
