Grey London Part 2.

I was back at the Tower Bridge today. A look of it in the day this time.

Beside the Tower Bridge is the Tower of London, the royal palace and fortress and home of the crown jewel. This is the main tower, The White Tower, where the Kings and Queens used to live.

And further down the Tower of London is the London Bridge... well, the modern-day version. And I don't think it is gonna fall down anytime soon...

About another 1-km down the River Thames is the Tate Modern museum. There was some weird performance going on...

And one of the exhibits,

But my favourite is this Picasso work, Girl in Chemise, which I recognized instantly and got me really excited!

Finally, after all that tired walking for the day we made our way across the river on the Millennium Bridge.

And the bridge in at night!

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.
