Christmas Present for Myself!

Blink of the eye, it is Christmas again. And its X'mas-presents-show-and-tell-time! Remember the present for myself which I mentioned in the Souvenirs Galore entry? Well, I am gonna reveal what it is!

It is a RF 2009 Calendar from the RF Shop. It contains beautiful images from the 2008 season and Roger's childhood moments. My favourite is August's photograph - Roger's facial features still look almost the same right? :p Hope there'll be more moments like October's next year!



The calendar has all the tournament dates marked out. At the back, there is RF's autograph. And getting this calendar is also for a good cause - part of the Christmas spirit. =)

Initially I wanted to get this for the #1 RF fan, KC-XTT. But I got something even better for her... vrrrrroooomm.... heh, so I get to keep the RF calendar for myself! I have already hang it on my cubicle in office.

There are also plenty of presents from my friends. Just showing three of them here...

The beautiful tall tin can of cookies is from my "Secret Santa" in office gift exchange. I'm curious to find out who you are! Can drop me a comment if you are reading this?

The bottle of Burberry London is from my wife! Thanks dear, you always know what to get me and when I need it.

And finally, TWG Tea's Alfonso cotton teabags from KC-XTT. Great stuff! Thank you my dear friend! I will try to learn more from you about appreciating good tea. Well, being part of the office tea club is a good start right? More Turkish Tea for everyone on Monday! =)

Noticed the colour theme for this year's presents seem to be brown? Ha...

I also got other nice and cute presents from Sunshine-HY, Georgia, Stitchy-Sop and Jax. Thanks alot guys!

While Christmas is a good time to shower friends with presents, I guess the meaning of Christmas is much deeper than our material needs... Have a safe and peaceful holiday. Merry Christmas my dear friends!

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!
