Eventful Weekend

-

I stopped myself from heading back to office on Sat. Decided to accompany mum for prayers at Tampines Soka Centre, but it ended up we didn't go as she was delayed by the long journey of bus service 65 from Orchard and she had some errands to run at the OCBC Bank at White Sands. It ended up me having to wait for her at Tampines Mall for 1.5 hrs for her.

Settled my lunch at Delifrance, since there wasn't anyone with me to accompany me for lunch at food court. Those who know me will know why I can't have lunch at food court alone.

After that, I went to get my radio set for my office table at Courts Tampines. Thanks to the salesman for giving me an additional 5% discount for the radio.

Today, slept till 12 noon, had a light breakfast before visiting Jason's urn at Peck Shan Theng Temple. Managed to find his urn without much difficulty. But it may be a little difficult if you guys want to pay your respect to him as his urn wrote his Chinese name. His Chinese name is written wrongly too. Therefore, if you guys wish to visit him, his urn is at Blk 91, Row F #02-03, 黄加明. His photo is not put up yet. I guess it may take some time before the details are put in by the temple.

At the same time, I have burned the memories book that I have compiled as stated in some of your blogs and comments in my blog in the earlier entries.

I would like to thank the family who gave me a ride out to the nearby bus stop from the temple after the visit.

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...
