Leg Godt, Play Well.

When I was young, my dad bought be a small box of Lego set, which I had hours of fun. It was no fancy set, just a normal set with some doors and windows, and a couple of Lego man. I remember fondly that I watched "The Journey to the West" serials on tv and started constructing these spaceships for Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sa Wujing. The spaceships I made were customized according to their characters. But there was just so much I can do with the limited number of lego bricks I had.

Forget about action figures, pokemon, digmon or what mon, yugi-oh or what oh, console games or pc games. Get your children lego sets and see them expand their imaginations! Of cuz, make sure you brief them not to put the little pieces in their mouths or into their noses (I think I did that! At least thats what my mum said!). I think the ability to make/construct something is a skill very essential to man. Besides, lego is not only for kids, guess what adults are doing with lego sets? Check it out in this site. My favourite is this one below... what is this??? =p

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!
