Starts at One!

In the midst of hectic work schedule, house renovation and wedding preparation, we found time to celebrate our first year solemnization anniversary. It wasn't the grandest or most romantic of all. In fact, it was quite far off from other celebrations we had. But nevertheless, it was a very significant event. We had a simple buffet lunch and exchanged gifts. :-)

Thoughtful as ever, my wife bought me new collared tee and two pairs of socks. She knew that I am wearing more "smart casual" attire to work recently, and my old ankle socks were worn out. The new tee will also be appropriate for the new house, everything needs to be new!

I got her a watch because the straps of her old pink swatch broke. Although this isn't an expensive branded watch like a Cartier or Rolex, it is one of the best upgrade from the "Swatch" category which I can afford. Why? Take a look at the calendar, there are more important events coming: Actual Wedding, Dating Anniversary, Christmas, Birthday, Valentine's! The original four-month combo has been extended to six months! Ha ha. Celebration all year round! And there is always room for improvement mah. Hee Hee.

This watch has mother-of-pearl watch face, sapphire crystal surface, little tiny man-made diamonds, Swiss made, and Andy Lau appeared in its advertisements before. ;-p I think the most important part is that it is cute and classy, perfect working-class watch for my petite wife. But my silly wife will not wear it till after our wedding.

I guess we will have a more relaxed celebration in a month's time, once its all done with, and our minds are at ease. Shall we reset our anniversary clock to start at One again? Which "One"?

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. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
