Parenthood 101.

It had been a while since I last blogged. It isn't that parenthood is boring. On the contrary, there are so many interesting developments everyday, and so many facets of parenthood that are new to me. I would love to write it all down, only to be afraid that I will be perceived as complaining most of the time. :p Luckily, Mummy diligently writes it all here (email me for the username and password). ;-)

The truth is parenting is a tough but endearing experience. Our baby boy is so cute. It melts my heart to see him response to my "nags" (I talk to him a lot!), coaxing, and sleep comfortably on me. It is a joy even when he pees all over me because he would smile at me after I clean him up and rub his tummy. The nitty gritty details thrill me. For example, he grabbed my shirt tightly for his dear life, the first time I bathed him! The learning experiences enrich my life - the different aspects of looking after him, require me to be patient, meticulous and selfless (yes it's all about him and Mummy now). ;-p The art of managing everyone's actions and opinions, which stemmed from their love and concern for boy boy, demand more tact and emotional mastery from me.

I'm a Dad now. I need to be competent. I need to give everyone confidence that I can do it and can give him my best. Yes... there is an added dimension of stress in fatherhood.

As the weeks are slowly turning into months, fatigue is starting to set in. Sometimes, I wished that my friends would ask me out to chill. They probably think that I am busy at home and so we seldom hang out anymore. But I am fully aware of what being a Dad entails and had expected the weariness coming. It completes the ultimate experience of parenthood. Just that... for now I will not be blogging as often, and will be doing more mindless, relaxing activities. Sorry to disappoint one of my faithful reader. ;-p

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. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
