Whinny No More.

I don't wanna be the whinny sort. I want to stop being so critical. But everytime it seems so right to complain about the ugly Singaporean I see everyday. He refuses to give up the seat to pregnant ladies, he ignores and not offer help to the lost VH on the streets, he hogs the escalator, he refuses to move to the rear of the bus. Don't get me wrong, it is not that I am greatly irritated by his actions. However, when there are people who stick cigarettes into their mouth and light them immediately after they got off the bus or out of the MRT station down the escalator into the underpass, I feel compelled to tell others about it.

Remember the Pine Tree Club incident? The female driver who got her car stucked on the carpark divider? And you wonder why that could happen to anyone? Just this morning, I saw a who guy drove his van up the divider at the bus-stop. His eyes were not on the road, but on something at the sidewalk. It was lucky nobody was hit by the flying pole he crashed into. Such acts of irresponsible driving, the other face of the ugly Singaporean.

Last Friday, I asked myself why I was unhappy. I tried to think of the reasons. A few ugly Singaporeans made me feel worse. I realised there was lil' to be unhappy about over the ugly Singaporeans , and no need to find the reasons for my unhappiness. All I had to do was to find more reasons to be happy.

I will continue to pen down my observations, but that will be all. I, myself, need to stop being the ugly Singaporean too, always quick to criticise and pass my judgement on others. Whinny no more.

I would think a whiner is better than, lets say for example a follower. Whinning means that u see something wrong wif the present society, better than quite some people who just blindly bash through the forest of life...

i also think its ok to be a whiner too! sometimes we just need comment on stuff which we 看不顺眼...and perhaps to make the world a better place to live in?

all of us need such a channel...and for u and me and other bloggers, its the use of blog... like i always say when i complain, "ignore me, i'm just complaining!" haha!

I prefer to say I am just being passionate about expressing my observations, than saying I am emotional about what I see. heh heh

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
