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. :-)

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
