TOML - Home Sweet Home.

Well... almost. Back at Goteborg since yesterday, after the last leg of our trip at Copenhagen. This apartment has become my second home away from home. And we love it here. It had been a tremendous experience for me so far. It was my first backpacking trip (minus the stay at budget hostels) to so many countries within a trip. And it was my longest trip ever too. We covered Stockholm, Oslo, Bergen and Copenhagen during the past week. Apart from my tired feet, my pocket felt the strain as well. =P I just did a quick calculation, and realised that I will need to dig deeper into my savings. Well, apart from food and transport, the souvenirs are not cheap! So when you receive your tiny lil' presents when I get back, please think 'Scandinavia = High Cost of Living', therefore 'Small Souvenirs = Expensive'. In general, things are about 3-4 times more expensive than Singapore. Considering their income and welfare are much better, I guess it is okay for them, but not really for us. Of cuz, the souvenirs I bought for myself contributed to the big hole in my pocket too. -sheepish grin-

Initially, I wanted to update everyone on the trip day-by-day. Obviously, that was too ambitious. =p Couldn't afford the weight of the notebook during the trip, and the layover back in Goteborg between legs was too short. Besides, who's keeping track anyway? Not like its the Tour de France. Perhaps, next time I do a similar application with GPS tracking as well. LOL. So I will probably do write abit of trip when I get back - just wanna nua the rest of my days in Goteborg.

Meantime, here is an overall picture of the apartment in Goteborg where we are staying. Click on the image for a bigger view.


And this is my makeshift bed! It is really comfortable compared to the hotel beds in the past week.


Btw, tho' this small apartment has only a bedroom, a living room, a tiny kitchen and toilet, I think it is brilliantly designed! Maybe I will apply some of the concepts in my flat next time.

Hmmm... kinda reluctant to return to working life again...

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. :-)

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...

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...
