Recycling Bin Part 2.

Remember this post where I complained about not having a recycle bin near my block? Well there is one now, and it had been there for a few weeks.

With that bin nearby, I decided to set up a central bin in the kitchen for collecting waste paper. A lot of waste paper is generated from pamphlets, magazines, envelopes, everyday. So it is a good idea to recycle them. Everyone at home, mum, dad, sis, will have to dispose their waste paper in that bin. Perhaps we'll move on to other things to recycle, but right now its paper for a start. Hopefully everyone will get used to it and see the importance of recycling.

I was a little disappointed today when I took my waste paper to the recycling bin. There was all sort of junks and cockroaches in there. I guess someone must had thrown all their rubbish not knowing which was recyclable and decided its not their job to do so. After collecting back to the recycling centre, the workers are going to have a hard time sorting them out again. Maybe they should have some dedicated compartment in the bin for paper or cans?

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. :-)

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...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours". It started out in 2008 for me, a ala Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
