Reaching For The Sky.

Nevermind that my face and arms are pinkish red now... Scalded by the sun. It was all worthed it! For the first time, I saw a live jet fighters acrobat display and it was our nation's best - the Black Knights. I was truly impressed.

Impressed by the power of these flying machines. Impressed by the loud after burners which were like sub woofers blasting into my ears. Impressed by the speed these machines dazzle in the sky. Impressed by the fact that these men need such great skills and concentration to deliver such a synchronized and close-shaved stuns in the air. My heart pumped faster for them everytime the planes crossed path in the sky. Most of all, I felt my hair standing. I was really proud that my fellow countrymen were these men behind the cockpits.

I was privileged to get a trade pass for the Singapore Airshow 2008 despite not registering with my department secretary in time.

Below are some of the pictures from the event...

The Black Knights in action!

The Global Hawk. An impressive UAV the size of a plane.

The gang with the crowd favourite A380.

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.
