Hot Morning, Rainy Afternoon VES Session

-

The weather was unbearably hot in the morning. Decided to give myself a haircut before today’s session.

I was quite sure that there was to be a crowd today, but to my surprise, the rain really brought the number of people who came by to the CC today to the 1st day numbers of about 40.

After the session, we had a photograph taking session at the CC’s office. Thanks Moon for her camera. :-)26433_383169145677_545870677_3933257_1213739_n

After that, we went for dinner at a Indian coffeeshop near my house. Moon and I paid for Zhi Hao’s share for the dinner as his birthday was approaching and he had treated us dinner last week.

Tomorrow is the last day of the e-filing session. I really enjoyed this year’s session, except for the teething problems with the Singpass login & some funny encounters that are unexplainable in a few words.

Leaving you with these 2 songs, which are new releases and I think it is nice. :-)

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...
