Happy Good Friday

-

 

Firstly, I just want to wish all Christian readers of my blog a Happy Good Friday. For those that are not celebrating, I just wish you guys have a happy long weekend ahead.

 

Met up with Rebec at Bishan MRT to go to Peck Shan Theng Temple to pay our respects to Jason. I was telling Rebec that time flies, Jason is no longer with us for 3 months already. I still miss him every now and then, but we have to accept the fact that he is no longer with us already. 

After that, both of us thought of meeting up with Darling, but her hubby ( called her hubby as her hp was off) said that they had something planned for themselves today. Rebec suggested going to the Great Book Sale at the Expo instead, therefore we took a bus to the airport to have our long lunch at Swensens, before going to the Book Sale.

When we reached there, there was a huge crowd. Some of them were there for their Good Friday activities. We noticed that there were babies on prams. We were wondering why, then we saw the Mothercare Exhibtion going on at Hall 5. I thought it was an interesting exhibition from what we looked on from the outside. I would encourage all expectant mummies and their hubbies to go to this exhibition. It ends on Sunday, 23 Mar 2008.

At the Book Sale, got a few stationery for my office table, which is considerably smaller than the one I used to have at my old office. I got the stationery at a bargain.

After the shopping, I headed home while Rebec went on for her meeting with her friend.

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. Darling Richard Rebecca Krys (Darling, please help me ask her, scared she not reading this!) Darling's sis ( Darling, u can ask your sis along) My cousin, Jolene ( wonder if she is busy with her new house interior design) Dates & Time Slots For Choices 19 Jan 2006 (Thu) nite 20 Jan 2006 (Fri) nite 22 Jan 2006 (Sun) afternoon & nite 23 Jan 2006 (Mon) nite 25 Jan 2006 (Wed) nite 26 Jan 2006(Thu) nite 27 Jan 2006 (Fri) nite We can have our dinner/lun...

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...
