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 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. :-)
