Saturday Afternoon Session Again.

Just got back home by cab not long ago. It was another friendly driver. He rounded down the $21.75 fare to $21, and told me to take my time, not to drop my handphone or leave anything behind. Its the third time I took cab this week, ouch. Sigh, I guess I don't really have much choice, perhaps on one occasion I was both tired and lazy - no excuse.

Went down for Elders session this afternoon. It had been almost a year since I last went down. I am glad I was there this afternoon. Some of the uncles and aunties still remember me. And they asked me why I have not visited them for so long. I had a long conversation with an auntie in teochew. I have always enjoyed talking to her, cuz they are usually two-way conversations (which is a good thing), and it feels very qin1 qie4 to converse in teochew (its like talking to granny...). One of the uncle also showed us around the new garden where they planted many fruit trees and crops, which incidently can mostly be used as ingredients of curry! Perhaps I'll go down again next Saturday if I have nothing on.

After the session, I had dinner at Breeks with other volunteers (mostly graduated and mostly bloggers too). The fish-and-chip was so-so, but the company was great. It is always great fun to hang around with them, feels like family. I think the elders spirit is really strong cuz we still come together for such activity despite going seperate ways in our careers. Hope to see the rest of them in the next outing. Plans for mahjong sessions were also on the way. The evening ended with KTV at Lucky Chinatown Kster. Chinatown and KTV seem like our traditional outing location and activity. Finally the cab ride home...


Btw, you might wanna read Orchard Road's new short story, omelette 2. It is quite interesting!

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

Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why? In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms . I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from " Dreamchat ", telling me that " someone is dreaming of me ". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left. How did this " Dreamchat " thingy got my handphone number? Is
