The Singapore Rock.

Remember the entry on my visit to NHM not so long ago? Well, my shy-neighbour-in-the-office visited it last weekend. He took a couple of pictures which I did not capture the last time, so I thought it'd be nice to show you guys.

The first is the Singapore Stone.

I don't remember much about the stone, can you see the inscriptions? Anyway if you want to find out more about it, you may wanna consider asking my shy-neighbour-in-the-office. He seems to know the story very well! I thought it was the first recorded known act of vandalism in the history of Singapore. However, according to him, this part of a bigger rock at the mouth of Singapore River long long ago. I guess it must had left a deep impression in him, after taking that picture, he caught the attention of the curator.

That explains why the only other picture he took was this six-colour chair.

According to him, the theme is "Where Green Is", as there are only 6 colours. The lil' sign on it says "Please Do Not Sit". So, please try not to, when you see it during your visit okay? Else the curator may blame me for putting these photos on my blog. :op

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.
