Touchdown in the City of Angels.

Five in-flight movies later, I finally touched down in LA.

Quantum of Solace - 2 outta 5. What is that show about again? ... that everyone Bond touches dies?
Australia - 4 outta 5. I like the theme of the show. The Walkabout, the Dreaming, reminded me of the secondary one Literature text.
Suspect X - 3.5 outta 5. I like the part when geniuses put their wits and logic against each other. The physicist vs the mathematician. And emotions can be used logically.
A Good Year - 4 outta 5. Two words, French Romance. I just love this sorta thing. hee hee.
Departures - 4 outta 5. Sorry dear, I watched it already. But I think they won't be showing it by the time I get back. Not sure if you should watch because you'll be crying like a fountain for sure. This movie unveiled the unique aspect of death in Japan.

SoCal is awakening from deep cold on the first day of Spring. The weather is just nice, minus the wind. First stop was Target, to get the necessities. I also got myself a mini indulgence. :-)

Btw, LA is 15 hours behind SG time (due to DST). So we gotta go get some dinner now. Hopefully, we'll get to check out some parts of LA before traveling to Palm Spring tomorrow.

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.

If you were wondering... Yes I did it for the fifth time on the eve of New Year. Just two of us, made the journey from Marina Bay Financial Centre to Kampung Glam, via the newest Downtown line. You can see my photos here . Still looking for people to join us end of this year. :)
