Eventful Sat Before The Start of New Job

-


Mum asked me to tag along for her praying session just now in the afternoon. Time flies as it has been a month since I last stepped into Tampines Soka Centre. It was a relaxing half an hour praying session for me today. Maybe my work stress is gone as I have left the previous job on Fri.

The session was short as

  1. Dad had invited his church friends over to our house for visiting. Lucky I was not around, otherwise they would be preaching to me about God again.
  2. Had arranged to meet up with Elaine, Ter, Stella, Richard, Christine, Wendy & Chris at Marina Square in the evening. It has been about 3 months since we last met up.

Was there early as I thought I could "chop" the seats at Seoul Garden, the designated meeting place. Richard was to join me shortly. Unfortunately, Seoul Garden was filled with the dinner crowd. Dinner was switched to KBox at the "mum & daughter" team suggestion.

We were joined by Stella's sister, Cherie for this makan cum singing session. I am glad that this session is suggested as

  1. I had wanted to relax myself through my favourite hobby, singing as I have been going through the rubbish at work for the past week.
  2. I got to hear Ter, Chris, Cherie & Christine, singing for the first time. Some of their singing voices are very good. I leave it for you to guess who are the good singers from these 4 people.
  3. It has been about more than 13 months since I last sang. My last session was at Elaine's birthday last year.
  4. I need to practise for the Jeff Chang concert that I am going in 2 weeks time. I am glad that I managed to get a chance to do that. I also got to know that the tickets are about 90% sold. I hope it will be a good concert. Tickets at $98 & $128 are still available at Sistic.

After the 3 hour session, we went home seperately. I must say it was a fun and enjoyable session before my new challenge.

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.

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...
