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. :-)

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
