TOML - Transit at Schiphol.

Other than the time differences and my infamous runny nose, the flight to Amsterdam was a pleasant one! The stewardess were really polite and warm. I had two delicious meal during the flight. The meal included a pencil. Why pencil? Cuz there was this tear-out Sudoku on the meal boxes, and answers printed as well. Idea hor? We also had ice cream in the wee hours of the morning SGT while we were over the sky of Afghanistan.

Currently we are in the mid of our 8-hr transition wait at Schiphol Amsterdam Airport right now - the airport with a fly scribbled in the urinal to help men aim. =p We will be going for a short 2 and 1/2 hr transit tour around Amsterdam. Unfortunately, no free wi-fi at Schiphol, so this is a delayed post when I reach Goteborg. Will update with photos later.

Photo Updates:
View of Schiphol airport from the outside.

This plane is a KLM McDonnell Douglas MD-11, Marie Curie. This section of the fleet of planes are named after famous people. The plane we took from Singapore is actually a Boeing 777-200. I am not sure of the name tho'. =p

This is somewhere after the departure hall. Bustling with life. Schiphol is the 4th busiest airport in Europe.

And finally an odd photo. Heh heh. A trunk refilling the plane with drinking water. It was so boring waiting lah...

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
