TOML - Morning Goteborg.

Its 5am here in Goteborg. But I am awaken by my growling stomach and the noisy sea gulls. My stomach is still in the SG time zone lah. It is lunch time for my stomach now. And the sea gulls must be the Swedish equivalent of noisy mynahs in Singapore.

A quick look of the morning street from the lil' rooftop window before I continue to account the transit day tour at Amsterdam. It is a darn heavy window. Kept it open using a bottle. Hah.


On the left you can see the old German church. Gonna visit it later of the day.


And on the right you can see the stadium with the red words "SCANDIA" on top. Hmm... can't quite see it in the picture.


The cool morning air is really refreshing. No pollution. No "funny chocolate smell" like you-know-where. And not that many people too! There is plenty of room in the trams, buses, streets for everyone. I am beginning to enjoy the slower pace of life here (perhaps that is because I am on holiday, no need to work!). Air-condition is just a matter of opening the windows. You can really enjoy lazing at home cuz it is not humid and room is really cool. Had a short walk around the neighbourhood last evening before dinner. Tho' the shops closed at 7pm, it was nice walking down the cobble pedestrian walkway in the slight drizzle. Envy me right? Wish you were here with me? ;-p

Btw, if you are wondering what is TOML, it is not an acronym for some new university entry exam like GMAT or TOEFL. It means "Trip-Of-My-Life"!

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. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

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...
