Excuse Me, Excuse Me.

I account my lack of activity here in the previous weeks to the World Cup...

But I just had to pen down this entry, perhaps to make myself feel better? Yes, you must have guessed it - to complain. *lol* I just fend myself from a woman "dying" to get off the bus. She repeatedly said "Excuse me, excuse me", although there was no where I could have moved to "excuse her"... It was a crowded bus. We were one traffic light away from the bus-stop she was going to alight. I had the feeling she was thinking, "I said the magic word, you are supposed to disappear, why are you still here?".

The fact that three gentlemen who took three separate outer seats (one of them taking two seats for himself while he comfortably enjoy his morning papers) did not help much in managing the crowded situation. Especially when a woman was "guarding" the way to those seats. I think she can interview for the post of Guard-of-Honour at Istana or even at the Buckingham Palace! She stood there like a block! I wanted to go warm up those empty seats but alas, I couldn't get past her, erm and some other people before her. As usual, at the front end of the bus, some people were cramping at the stairs, while others were unable to board.

I wished I could have the guts to turn around and tell the Excuse-me-woman these, "Okay madam, but please be patient and wait for awhile, till we reach the bus-stop and those in front have alighted before I can "excuse you" and let you pass." Then again, its a Tuesday morning, there's lotsa work to be done, I don't want to make a big hoo-haa and spoil everyone's day. I am satisfied with this rambling now. =)

Oh, btw where was I? Lack of sleep... hmmm... World Cup. Yah, probably continue to have lack of activity here for the next few weeks... hmmm...

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
