Thud! I took the fall like a man and stood up approximately 3 seconds later. I smiled at myself in hope to cover up my embarrassment. Two helpful passerbys came over to ask if I was alright. I said I was ok. The truth is I was still abit shaken by the fall which I laid flat on the floor. Not exactly taking a Saturday afternoon nap on the pavement. It was one occasion which I was thankful that I have a big butt. And of cuz the moral of the story is to walk carefully on your toes instead of heels on a rainy day, especially when the ground and shoe soles are as smooth as tofu or *ahem* my butt.
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. :-)
