I was invited by Rebec mei to join her for the above performace today. Actually it is an open rehearsal @ the Esplande. We were joined by Rebec's colleague and her colleague's hubby.

Besides watching the orchestra rehearsing for the performance, we also got a chance to see the behind the scenes work of the performers, such as why this part of the performance was not well done. It was an eye opener for me, and considering that I decided to give myself a break from work today as I have been back at work for the past two weekends. As usual, work can't be finished, but I am not a robot, I need a break. I enjoyed the open rehearsal very much. Thanks Rebec mei for helping me to destress.

After that, I went to Tampines Mall for a walk while waiting for mum to accompany her to SSA at Tampines St 92 for chanting session. During my walk there, I met by an office neighbour. We chatted a lot as we had not met each other for a few months already. He is willing to help me get out of the difficuities in the job that I am facing now. I told him I will do the next step and see how we go from there.

Was served by a good bunch of people at Delifrance Tampines Mall for my lunch. I wrote them very nice comments on the card as they were really attentive to such details like:-

  1. My knife accidentally dropped on the floor. The waiter got me a new knife without me having to ask.
  2. The ice-cream I ordered had whip cream but the branch had ran out the whip cream. The waitress took the trouble to highlight to me and asked if I mind politely.

Got my new GV movie club membership card yesterday. The card is so unique. It looks like a pack of French fries to me!!!

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 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...
