The LEGO Man.

The LEGO set was probably the best toy I had as a kid. Although throughout my childhood I only had a modest set Lego (one with a ~20x20cm green base and enough blocks to build a small house on it), it didn't stop me from doing more. In fact, I remember piecing up three spaceships for the characters in Journey to the West (after I was inspired by their somersaults on the clouds in the show). :-p

Looking back, I guess the LEGO set helped me to express my creativity (yes, it existed before all the hype on developing creativity in the past decade). Of course the Lego set has come a long way with different themes, such as Star Wars and even the Ferrari Victory set which I saw today! With these themes, you have better blocks to build more realistic models. However, nothing beats having the good old basic set to let you exploit your imagination.

On a related note, yesterday I found out about the perk of working for LEGO - a customized LEGO man/woman for your business card!

I wonder if I can buy a LEGO RF, Jordan or Woods out there... I know Kimi comes with the Ferrari Victory set. ;-)

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.

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
