Top Ten Signs That You Have a Good Friend.

Having written about "crush" and "love", I think Valentine's is also about friendship. Whereas love is about faithful, and friendship is about loyalty, both are about trust, commitment and appreciation. Trust in each other to confine, commitment of being there for each other, and appreciation what each other has done.

So here's my list of "Top Ten Signs That You Have a Good Friend". Once again, posted ahead of time...

#1 He/She is just a phone call away to la-kopi with you. And you two will blabber endlessly about nonsense and secrets. It is okay to just come out for kopi or milo after work, to just talk, to just keep you company, to just play silly LAN games (you know... Counterstrike and Warcraft?). It is good enough. Did I mention he/she will keep that secret for you?

#2 He/She never think twice about helping you. But he/she will think twice about how to help you. $ no problem.

#3 His/Her advices always seems to make perfect sense because he/she just understands you so well.

#4 You are not shy of saying anything stupid in front of him/her. He/she don't judge you by what you say because he/she knows it is all in the name of fun.

#5 Even when you two have not seen each other for a long time due to work commitments, etc., nothing changes between both of you. You still feel so close to him/her.

#6 He/she remembers your birthday. Who says birthdays are no big deal? =p He/she will get the perfect birthday present for you!

#7 You can that feel that he/she cares for you. You know he/she watches out for you.

#8 When there's something good, you know he/she will definitely jio (ask) you along. When things are bad, he/she will go thru' the ordeal with you. Good and bad times, he/she is there. He/she shares with you.

#9 Besides crappin' nonsense, there are some serious issues both of you can talk about. It is not only about fun.

#10 Despite having the "Top Ten Signs That You Have a Crush on Someone" and he/she is that "someone", he/she will respond to your feelings positively by showing his/her appreciation for what you have done, and is determined to put in effort towards a better friendship.

To my friends out there, especially my good friends, and those who feel I am your good friend, thanks! No matter you wear skirt or shorts, I appreciate it, just in a different way. =p Happy Friendship Day.

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
