Fifteen Minutes.

Before I continue with this post, I have an announcement to make: With this entry, I have made past the half millenium mark for the total number of blog entries! And this will be a happy entry befitting of such a mirthful milestone! :D

After the delay at work, we finally made it to the 15 Minutes at around 8pm. Well, it was not too late as 15 Minutes closes at 11pm. Before I get anyone confused, we took more than 15 minutes to get to 15 Minutes. Around 30 minutes? :-p And... 15 Minutes is a cafe in LASALLE campus at McNally Street (behind Sim Lim Square).

As expected of a cafe in the famous local art college, it was artfully furnished. The atmosphere was relaxing. There was a small stage, but no band was playing when we were there. Instead, the speakers were playing slow rock. The wooden tables were arranged in neat rows like what you'll find in a school tuckshop. BBOF had suggested this place after reading about it on the magazine.

We had a difficult but fun time figuring out several "stimulating" words. When else will the iPod dictionary comes in more handy? Words such as "couscous", "puttanesca", "pomodoro", "bruschetta", etc. littered the menu.

We stuck to the safer choices. I ordered the Linguini Chicken Avocado.

BBOF had Pomodoro Mushroom Penne.

We also ordered Otah Bruschetta. Basically, that is toasted bread with Otah topping, similar to garlic bread.

The serving was really generous. But nothing much can be said about the taste of the Linguini and Penne. They are quite normal. The Otah bread thingy was surprisingly tasty.

Although the food was a little disappointing, the comfortable ambiance and prompt service made up for it. Not to mention having the fantastic company of my good friend. She had made it an enjoyable Wednesday evening for me. I'll recommend and probably be going back for some drinks (beer or wine), and simply to hang out with friends!

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
