The 27th Birthday Post Part 2.

A last minute request to conduct some testing at the site, and I ended up having to leave only at 8pm. What a way to celebrate the actual day of my birthday - with WORK. Yup, I did not apply for leave today as I still had lotsa work to be done and my dear was having her last paper this evening. Luckily, a buncha merry people went drinking with me at Alleybar. Another round of celebrations? Like Cinderella, I had to go home before 12mn for more things awaited me at home. My family celebrated my birthday for me! Cake and more presents!

Mum and Dad gave me a big ang bao and a Waterman pen. Now I can sign those big fat cheques with it. Or autograph my books and albums? =p

And my sister gave me a Braun Buffel card holder. Perhaps for my country clubs membership cards and various banks' credit cards? lol.

And my dear girlfriend posted an entry on her blog for me!

Thank you everyone for such a wonderful birthday celebration for me this year! Arigato!

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

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Thirteen.
