Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all.

Didn't notice this song till this morning, nice lyrics, nice tune, nice vocals.
What's wrong with the world, mama
 People livin' like they ain't got no mamas
 I think the whole world addicted to the drama
 Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma
 Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism
 But we still got terrorists here livin'
 In the USA, the big CIA
 The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK
 But if you only have love for your own race
 Then you only leave space to discriminate
 And to discriminate only generates hate
 And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah
 Madness is what you demonstrate
 And that's exactly how anger works and operates
 Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
 Take control of your mind and meditate
 Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

 It just ain't the same, always unchanged
 New days are strange, is the world insane
 If love and peace is so strong
 Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
 Nations droppin' bombs
 Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
 With ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
 So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
 So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
 In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in
 Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
 Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
 A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
 The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
 If you never know truth then you never know love
 Where's the love, y'all, come on
 Where's the truth, y'all, come on
 Where's the love, y'all

 I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin' our wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinema
Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness in equality
Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive till love is found

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!
