One-Liner for Four Marks.

Yesh, the last paper for this semester is over! But I am feeling uneasy about it. I finished the paper an hour before time while many others were furiously writing and even asked for more answer booklets. The thing is all the answers can be found in the three pieces of handwritten notes which I had burnt, boiled with two cups of water and drank. That's supposed to be good news? But how do you explain the mark allocation of 4 marks for the one-liner answers I gave and two points for 8 marks, 3 points for 12 marks? That's the worrying part. I can't really bull since I can only regurgitate what I drank.. erm memorized. And guess what, I spotted the invigilator, a co-lecturer frowning and shaking his head as he read the questions. Please tell me its perfectly okay to give short answers and thats just the American-style of exams, no one-point-one -mark nonsense!

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
