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. :-)

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!
