My Hari Raya Haji

-

Met up with Rain & Joey for lunch cum gift exchange lunch session at Marina Square today. My apologies to the ladies for being late as I was held up by a long application form. Gift exchange was good, as Joey liked the Winnie the Pooh that I gave to her. I was surprised that she and Rain gave me a subsidy for me to try to go to the Jacky Cheung concert which is coming in Jan. I am still trying to find a partner to go with me, but till now, no one has answered my plea for company to the concert.

After that, met up with Stella at Hotel Royal @ Queens to try to find Kaylee. All of us are disappointed that we are not able to find her. I hope that her health is not giving her any problems again.

Was joined by Elaine,Ter. Wendy & Chris for a movie session. My friend, Rain was commenting that my blog lacked of movies recently. Went to catch this:-

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Benjamin Gates has spent a lifetime hunting treasures that have been lost to history. But when a secret from the past is uncovered, history will be re-written and his family name tarnished. On a quest to restore his family's honour, he must chase the truth behind the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. His search leads him to uncover a mystery that can only be unraveled by the Presidents' Book of Secrets: a collection of documents containing the most vital national secrets. Ben must attempt the impossible, including kidnapping the President of the United States and breaking into Buckingham Palace, tracing the paths of forefathers in a race against time. Every clue leads one step closer to unlocking a mystery the world isn't ready to believe.

I find that the movie is quite funny and enthralling, with a good storyline. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5.

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.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

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...
