Eventful Saturday & Sunday

-
It was an eventful Saturday & Sunday for me this week as I did something that I haven't been able to do for a long time. That is to go to the library.


It has been 3 years since I last stepped into the library and the borrowing machines have been revamped. Not only that, NTUC members can now use their NTUC Link Card to borrow the books, besides the usual NRIC, SAF11B, Student Concession Cards & Library Cards.


Before going to the library, I went for a haircut at my usual saloon in Hougang. I also got a new telephone for my family as the old phone has been ringing strangely for the past two days. I can't imagine house telephone are so cheap. I got the phone from Harvey Norman @ $17.90. Later, I stepped into CD Rama & got the albums that I have been wanting to lay my hands on for quite some time.

在你身边

In the evening, I met up with a net friend, N. I have known her for about 4 years already, but because of her busy schedule, we only met for the first time yesterday. We had a drink at Coffee Bean & a nice long 2 hr chat before calling a nite at about 11pm as I had a morning class today.

After my class today, I was supposed to meet up with my client for a lunch meeting, but it was cancelled as she was not able to get out of her office due to work. Since mum was not cooking lunch, ate out before I went to visit Jason.

He seemed ok to me, but I know something was amiss as I saw bloodstains on his shirt & bed. I got the nurse to clear up for him before having a short chat. He seemed to miss Rebec a lot. He was crying when I mentioned about her. I shall see what can be done.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
