Sudoku.

I finally tried my first game of Sudoku.

We were waiting at the taxi stand when my girlfriend picked up today's papers and started solving the sudoku puzzle. Of cuz I didn't like to be left alone. So I complained that it was such a boring game of silly additions for the numbers in the boxes. To my surprise, I had always mistaken the rule of the game. It was much simpler. No need to do any addition. It was purely a test of deductive skill. Very focus. Soon I took over the papers and started solving the whole puzzle myself. I realised what got so many people hooked to the game.

It is the success. Probably there are many more difficult puzzles but it just take a few easy ones to get one hooked. The success in solving a puzzle encourages one to solve more puzzles. I was too quick to pass my judgement on it initially. Only with better understanding of the rules was I able to better appreciate the game. Of cuz you may think, "You play one puzzle only, talk so much". I totally agree.

I can't help but to draw parallel between this little incident and the way I should live life. Will I solve more puzzles? Or is this just a temporary interest? heh heh. Thanks dear for introducing me to the game. We shall see! ~~Happy Halloween!~~

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
