Oil My Lifts.

Somebody oiled the two lifts of my block. Yes, oil! From the doors, to the panels, the buttons, to the walls, the two lifts are completely covered with oil. I wonder if this is a new way to clean the lifts, I have never seen it before in my life. The oil was left on the lifts since Saturday, and I don't think the cleaners are going to remove it.

Perhaps its an innovative way to get rid of lizards in lifts by making it too slippery for them?

I recognized the smell and colour of the oiled lift panels and buttons, as they reminded me of oiled M16 rifle parts, such as the bolt carriage, barrel, etc., from NS days. Or maybe, just maybe, its a new way to utilise the most valuable resources of Singapore. From Tekong, "Recruit! Oil your rifle! I don't want to see any parts not oiled!" ... "Recruit! Clean your rifle! I don't want to see any oil!" ... to my block, "Recruit! Oil the lifts! I don't want to see any parts not oiled!" ... "Recruit! Clean the lifts! I don't want to see any oil!". There are certainly plenty of lifts in the heartlands for such training!

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
