Giving A Speech.

Some people say that when you have a significant other, he or she is all that you need, and you will neglect your friends. For me, its not true. I still need my friends.

As I headed home, most of my friends were still busy at work. I should be home early for I needed to mug for Monday's paper. But I felt kinda down, not being able to hang out with them since exams started.

Anyway coming Monday I will be celebrating birthday with some friends. I wanna say how grateful and happy I am to have them celebrating with me, but I think its stupid to "give a speech" then. So I will say it in advance here (perhaps not very sensible thing to do either?). In fact I ain't quite sure who will be going. Oh duh. However, I know among them will be my dearests. My darling, my best friend, my good friends over the years, friends who I slowly get to know better and are more than just colleagues to me. I am thankful to have you. You let me feel so loved, so important. You gave me confidence, you acknowledged and accepted me. You tolerated me, and my need for your attention. You forgave me and laughed at my crappy jokes. You lent me your ears and listened to my complains. You spent time on me, and you are going to celebrate my birthday for me. For all that and more I thank you and I am filled with joy. Mushy or corny, its better said than left in my mind. I appreciate it!

Will update the names or include a photo come Monday night! Having said that, I also appreciate the friends who I will not get to celebrate with. I will meet you soon. You know who you are hor? Read this post again, my tribute to friends.

Monday Two weeks later, we will celebrate my best friend's birthday too. If I am not your best friend you better don't to tell me hor, don't make me paiseh. Hah hah. We have been like real brothers since we reunited in uni. Lost touch after secondary school days. For four years we spent a considerable time together, probably more than that with our families. Eeks, sound so gay... Anyway, you bro, are my best friend. Happy birthday to you too. I wish you get healthy and fully recovered soon, of cuz must find that someone who will be going honeymoon with you to Europe soon. So soon, like maybe by the end of next year? Heh heh. All the best!

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. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too

Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why? In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms . I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from " Dreamchat ", telling me that " someone is dreaming of me ". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left. How did this " Dreamchat " thingy got my handphone number?
