My Thirty-First.

On my thirty-first, I woke up in the heart of the city with my wife and son beside me. The feeling was fantastic! Zero, zilch, nothing about work at all - just me and my family! We had plenty of fun taking this photo. :-D

We had checked into Naumi the previous day for our mini getaway cum birthday celebrations. My wife had won the free stay at this wonderful boutique hotel in her company's lucky draw - interestingly she was on maternal leave during the draw. :-p I must thank her colleagues for the stay. It was refreshing.

Thanks to my Mum for taking care of our boy, we had some time shopping in Orchard earlier that morning. Guess where is this place?
A delectable lunch before checking into the hotel.
Back in the hotel, we were delighted by the interior design. This is the metal feature at the bed head.
A closer look...
The wallpaper is really classy as well.
With music from Lush FM on the background, the ambiance was perfect for our mini getaway.

The TV rotates between the living room and bedroom.
The red hot seat for the "man of the day". Wahahaha.
I am referring to my dear boy lah.
The view of the entrance and pantry area. Dear wife relaxing on the couch.
We were treated to complementary tea and coffee. I had fun trying out the Nespreso - abit suaku lah. Had some "interesting" experience trying it - those who know will know lah. Anyway, almost had an OD of caffeine!
These nice cups gave me great pleasure in enjoying my beverages!
This is the comfortable bed.
Even my boy thinks so too! Posing for the camera - he has been doing so since Day 1. :-)
He had a good sleep. It was the first time we co-sleep with him. :-p
Probably, we will not be going for holiday anytime soon. Another mini-getaway in some exotic boutique hotel will be a good alternative! Anyway, 三十一, 老骨头了!

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. :-)

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...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
