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.

11. Some other people here have already taken over his business of knowing when you are sleeping and knowing when you’re awake.

12. Ministry of Health says his obesity sets a very bad example for the nation.

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.

16. Heard that he and his elves coming into Singapore might kena charged with illegal assembly under proposed Penal Code changes.

17. Annoyed that Temasek is trying to get a controlling stake in the North Pole.

18. Too busy in Malaysia trying to have Mrs. Claus blown up with a hand grenade.

And read this one too if you want even more laughter to begin the 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
