The Great Singapore Sale.

If it wasn't for the GSS, I wouldn't have known this... The male fitting rooms at the Robinson are so spacious. And I think I know the good reason for them being so. Heh. Its fabulous for those family outing! I saw men with their wives, kids, babies, and strollers. Everyone, everything, into the fitting room together! I wondered if they were having picnics inside. Some wives were so nice, they just went back and forth, in and out, with more slacks, more shirts, for their husbands to try. I bet these guys were sitting comfortably on the chair inside, waiting. Yes there's a chair, perfect for checking whether there's too much cloth at the erm... crotch area when you sit. Their wives out there ploughing through the clothes were probably thinking, "Last day, members additional 20% off mah, die die also must buy one loh-ly of cheap clothes home lah, no wear nevermind, cannot miss out on the great offer leh, very lugi one you know?"

However, poor guys outside without their wives or girlfriends along just had to wait in the ever growing queue. There was one lucky guy, with his wife and baby in the queue, giving his child singing lesson. They were singing, "客人来看爸爸,爸爸不在家。。。", and he was telling his wife how she mispronouced the words and the baby will learn the wrong pronouciations. Sadly, he sounded like those were the only Chinese words he knew. Maybe both of them need to speak Mandarin more often, so that they will be fluent in it, as in the case of their Queen's standard English. And the baby may also get to learn more vocabs, and perhaps become a genius when he/she goes to pre-school, say 5 years later? That's what I call "Early Learning While Daddy Queues Outside the Fitting Room".

Anyway, not all wives were so nice, there was one yelling outside the rooms, "Ah xxx ar, are you in there?". Hah maybe he was hiding away from his wife! Eh... wait a minute, then who's that woman inside with him?

Well, you have the husband, the wife, the baby, the stroller, the chair, probably still room for the maid, a bbq pit, and maybe their doggie. Serious.

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!
