Still Sober After MoMo.

I am not dispensing an advice, neither am I bullshiting out a big theory. I am blogging this down here for myself. Thinking thru' it, making myself feel better as I type...

I'm not sure whether talking about things/problems is always the right thing to do. I mean when you talk about it, things get clearer, problems are magnified. At the same time, emotions are also stirred up and reinforced. And that makes me quite unhappy. But the fact is, sometimes problems stay there when you don't do anything about it. After a period, you might think why do I have to remind myself about it again? But hey, the problem will continue to haunt you in some way until the day you take those skeletons out of your closet. So it might be good to just talk it out early. In life, most of the time, others are unable to solve the problems for us, they may try to console us, try to think of solutions, and even give you the so-call model answers. But we should feel the warmth, they care, they bother, their intentions are noble. It is up to ourselves to defeat the greatest hurdle, our emotions.

This modern day drama is showing everyday. The unfortunates of life, the emotion burdens, losing your loved ones, coming down with illness, coping with money issues. When I sit down and think, thats a whole lot of things to settle. And thinking about it is so tiring already! Okay okay, one at a time, slowly, its okay to be slow just get it over and done with.

I am sure everyone has their own drama playing in their life, that others are unaware of. So let us assume, and not assume that we they lead a happy life and we are the only ones with shits in our life, but assume that they are leading a worse of life which they kept to themselves. So when your friends or family members are agitated, don't be so quick to dismiss it as them having lousy attitude and say something nasty back. We need to listen more, talk more, listen even more. We need patience.


Let's take a big SIGH. Let's also take a deep BREATH! Feel much better now? Another baggage dropped, another bar added to our energy level indicator.

I'm not a religious person, but I do believe in miracles and a higher being out there listening to us when all others don't. You might call this being God? I pray to God that everyone will be able to solve their problems and get something good out of it along the way. Dad, mum, sis, dear, and you and you and you and my dearest friends, I pray for you!

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. :-)

Resolutions 2012.

While my one-year-old is going for his first steps, I am also learning to walk (again). 2011 was full of ups and downs.  I was promoted for the 2nd time in my first job. Not fantastic but not bad either after six years. The challenging issues justifies for the few more dollars increment to the stipend. Murphy is my good friend. With only the final milestone left, I hope to overcome all odds and pull the rabbit outta the hat in 2012! If I am lucky, I may run another project.  For the consecutive year, I expended all my medical leave. After hearing my story, some may say 父爱是伟大的. Some may think I was pure clumsy. As my son likes to watch basketball playing, I decided to show him how to do it myself. At first I felt good, I got it plenty of shots. Unfortunately, I broke my ACL while chasing after the ball. It has been two months and my knee is still weak and hurts occasionally. I plan to go for surgery in 2012, while performing the balancing act of pulling the rabbit and recup...

The Last 24 Hours, Twenty-Twelve.

It is becoming a tradition. This is the fourth time for me. This year, two new companions joined me for this journey in the last 24 hours of 2012. As usual, is only for a few hours in the afternoon. But I like the sound of it, "last 24 hours".  It started out in 2008 for me, a ala    Eye é City . For the record, it was another rainy new year's eve. We started our journey at Thian Hock Keng, Amoy Street and ended at Raffles City Shopping Centre. It was interesting for me as it was my first time to Thian Hock Keng. This year, instead of posting the photos here, I have uploaded them to my Flickr account . The photos look better there as I don't have to reduce the size of the photos for this blog. I will re-edit the past photos and upload them as well when I am free. Who will join me next year? You can sign up now!
