Why Santa Did Not Visit Singapore Last Year.

Although it's already end of Day Two of the brand new year, it's still not too late to sum up some of the big happenings in Singapore last year, with this hilarious entry from "The Talking Cock" dated last December. Wahahaha. This is absolutely funny. ;o) Enjoy! While I take a few more days to think about this year's resolutions. Hmmmm...

Why Singapore is no go for ho, ho, ho last year...

1. Haze too thick even for Rudolph.

2. Reindeer injured last year when landing on the Esplanade.

3. So this year, Changi Airport is making him land his sleigh at the Budget Terminal.

4. Mrs Claus fed up that last year, he allowed a suspiciously large number of SPGs to sit on his lap.

5. Gets annoyed by everyone addressing him as “Pooi Eh” all the time.

6. Got some letter from a little girl here telling him to “get out of my elite, uncaring face.”

7. Can’t compete with Vivo City.

8. Judging by the Swarovski crystal Christmas tree on Orchard Road, you Singaporeans can afford to buy your own bleddy presents!

9. Had bad food poisoning last year after eating mee siam with hum.

10. Afraid his sleigh will be shot down by super kan cheong air force.

13. Heard he has to pay 7% GST on the goods he’s distributing in the country.

14. PM’s wife has complained about his trademark “ho ho ho” laugh.

15. Doesn’t want to pay ERP charges when his sleigh comes in.

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!
