I thought I saw small waves forming, as my bus swam through Lower Delta Road in the morning. Can you imagine the famous duck ride (only that it was in a bus)? But the smaller cars were just sitting ducks. I must be very lucky for it was the first time I experienced a flood and I got away dry. Some were less fortunate as they rolled up their pants and stood on the chairs at the bus-stop. It was much scarier compared to watching the flood on TV...
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. :-)
