Merry New Year 2007!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1! I can't remember when was the last time I went to Sentosa for some sort of new year celebration. The most vivid one which I can remember was during my secondary school days when I went with a group of Teleview chatters. We stayed up all night at Sunset Bay. I wasn't even old enough to drink legally. Form party was the new in-thing.

Blink blink blink. Forward many years ahead, it was NY eve again at Sentosa. My colleague HK had graciously invited us to his family BBQ cum chalet at Costa Sands Sentosa. A big thank you to him. Wonderful host and food. there were even crayfish and lotsa beer and red wine. They were definitely well prepared. We had a temporary shelter put over our three pits when there was a slight drizzle.

The high of the night was probably when we used up the form spray against each other, acting many years younger, before the countdown. Feeling apologetic to two colleagues, HY and KC. Didn't know form will stain their clothes. Can wash off right? Hee hee. Sorry! But it was fun mah. HY sounded angry bout getting her grey gio-pants pinkish. Boo-hoo. =p

And the low would be my lame attempt to tell ghost stories which always ended with anti climax. Well this led to the girls getting comfortable in their positions and decided to sleep.

Of cuz the night didn't end there, at least not for me. The techno at the beach continued till six am, occasionally playing the few tracks that i know, such as Born Slippy Nu and Smack My Bitch Up. It made me wanna jump outta bed and join them. As the last drum beat stopped, it was finally peace and sleep.

Two and the half hours later, I am now on my way home alone, to meet my dear girlfriend later for the first time in the brand new year! I am excited, cuz I wanna be a better boyfriend his year. Not sure what the rest of the guys will be doing, hopefully having sweet dreams right now?

Ah, getting too old for such occasions. Must take care of health. Tho' it was a sinful start for the year, booze and fats, it was a good one! Strangely, I felt tinny-whinny-bit misfit among the group, probably because I am still the dull and boring-self. Where has that joker and suanist in me gone to? Hah hah. That will change. One more item in my 2007 New Year Resolutions!

As we enjoy the extra long New Year holidays, I wanna wishing one and all a blessed year in 2007! Thank you for reading my nonsense in the past year. =]

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
