Heat Wave 1 2 3.

Recently, the heat wave has gotten a lil' too much to handle. My idea of paradise now is anywhere cooling, with a glass of cold drink (make that 2 or 3!). It had been a less than bearable for the past few days. My room faces the West aka 西赛. The air-con broke down months ago. That wasn't such a bad thing as I can save on the electrical bills. But my fan is also giving me trouble. My daily routine when I get home these days is to "jump-start" the fan! I have to hold it at a certain angle, in which the blades will start to rotate faster. While doing so, I also need to hold my breath as any slight movement will cause the blades to slow down again. For now, I will continue to "jump-start" it everyday bah. Have to save up for bigger things to come...

Try this.
1) Take out fan cover
2) Screw out blade
3) Take out back cover (if any)
4) Pour (ok, drip) lubricating oil into axle.
5) Run fan, make sure axle spins smoothly with no noise.
6) Put everything back.
*) Might last you another few days/week before the next 'jump start'

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom.

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
