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. :-)

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
