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. :-)

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!
