NUS Commencement.

Last Friday, I attended my sister's commencement ceremony at NUS UCC. Well I didn't exactly attend the ceremony, was just in time for the refreshment (or is it dinner?). heh heh. My boss was kind enough to allow me to leave work an hr earlier. And with a bit of drama on the cab (don't want to elaborate on this since cab drivers already have such bad reputations), I was in time for the most important parts of the event, the food and phototaking.

I was really excited when I got there, really eager to find my family. I saw happy faces everywhere, graduates running here and there to take photos with their friends. But the UCC foyer was abit too crowded to be comfortable. Anyway the refreshment was okay, some bee hoon, bao, cakes and stuffs. Fast forward to the photo taking... erm, the back of UCC was under construction so there wasn't many nice scenary for phototaking, just a couple of blue backdrops. After a few quick shots with my family, I quickly took up the role of my sister's personal photographer. She had all these funny poses with her friends. At first I was like "OK, sure! Where? Go where take the photos?", after a while it was more like "Huh? Still wanna take more?". It was tiring. It was worth it. Cuz its "usually" once in a lifetime thingy (unless you getta wear the farmer's bonnet for your masters or phd) =P. And she's my sis!

Okay here's a picture of both of us inside UCC.

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
