Happy Valentine's Day !


To-day is Valentine’s Day!!

Valentine's Day, should not be just about celebrating love with your other half ... It is also a good time to give to those in need of love .

Ms Firestone saying “ Love is the weak spot of every man…Women have always known how men need love .”

People will continue to fall in love, of course .But staying in love, getting married and remaining wedded has become harder. Anyway, Happy Valentine’s day to all bloggers .




A couple of weeks ago before the Chinese new year a young man in his late 30 driving a BMW 7 series scolded me for parking my car near the far end of Shaw Centre 8th floor car park . He said “Uncle, this is not a parking lot” I told him “ I will be loading and unloading here .Is there a problem ?” He replied “uncle – you old man don’t have much time left you better enjoy yourself! Just before I could lectured him he drove off his car. Yes, we lead fast-paced, highly stressed lives, but this harsh and sarcastic- tongue-lashings young man comment was most uncalled for. Yes, no deny, I am old but I might outlived this young man. To have a son like him is a total disgrace with no respect to the elder and I believed his own father is a fucking old man !

At this stage in my life, I do not have the privilege to do what I want! I still have 2 young boys. Having to accommodate and compromise. I'm not alone, despite the fact that I have no father, mother and brother and sister but I still have a young wife and two children still of schooling age. I'm not totally free. I feel ashamed to say this that I do not lead an active social life unable to able to interact with people and still keep my freedom due to family commitments.

I am deeply concerned as to why K and J are not married at this age. You both are no longer young and you will face the same consequence as me i.e. unable to enjoy your old age. Perhaps your parent took a rather “objectionable” approach. Anyway, I shall not comment further as this is W’s domestic family matter. Am just voicing my concern on this Valentine ’s Day. Maybe K and J were influenced by others' great expectations. I think that is the source of the greatest future misery!

The reverse of this argument though, perhaps that it's not their fault - it's Uncle and Aunty Fault for not setting a good example. Divorced and Remarried etc. Setting a rather high standard eg. if you cannot afford why get married! Does this sound familiar ??

Ramdan,Mooncake,Neoleaf,lucky

Blog update on current happening

Saturday 8 Sep 2007

Hair cut at QB House IMM.
Went to Mustaffa to buy “neoleaf”




Sunday 9 Sep 2007
Gerald decided to bald his head. Imagine how he feels! It does make a difference to be bald after all.

Monday 10 Sep 2007

Gave Gerald a letter for his “shaved head” and was glad that the principal approved him wearing a cap at school. Bald to win!! Yes, he won $20 from his classmate for keeping his bargain they he will shave his head.

Letter to the Teacher
“Due to severe itching and flaking of the scalp, Gerald Tao has shaved his head bald over the weekend.
At this point, since his scalp is more vulnerable to getting sunburned I would appreciate if you would allow him to wear a cap whenever necessary.
Your kind understanding in this matter would be greatly appreciated.”

===========================================================

Went to Straits Kitchen at Hyatt Singapore to meet up with Esther Tang. Buffet Dinner starts 6.30 pm with no FREE Drinks on the house. A smart move to make money from suckers.
Hungry Ghost month drew to an end.

=================================================================



Mid-Autumn Festival (also the Mooncake or Lantern Festival)

Mid-Autumn Festival takes place from early September to early October and celebrates the end of the farming year and an abundant harvest. The mooncakes signify unity and a cycle completed.

End : September 25

Hokkien Style Mooncakes

The Hokkien one resembles the "tau sar piah" (flaky skin mung bean biscuit). Instead of being packed in square boxes, the Hokkien version comes wrapped in red and white paper in a long cylindrical roll. But not many places sell this now.

Niu Jiao Jian (Bull's Horn)

'Niu Jiao Jian' (Bull's Horn) for the simple reason because it truly resembles a bull's horn. The thick black shell of this nut has to be hammered to be broken open. Once cracked, it reveals a creamy white nut inside. This peculiar food is only available during the mid-autumn season. I hope to find this in the market this year and shall ask my maid to steam it . Yummy !

Little Yams

Only sold during the Mid-Autumn Festival. These miniature yams are softer and more fluffy than their bigger siblings. It's also one of those foods that families used to eat along with the Bull's Horns and mooncakes. Best eaten steaming hot - peel back the skin and dip the yam into granulated sugar with every mouthful.

Piglet Biscuits

Known by the Cantonese as "Jue Zai Bang" (Piglet Biscuits), these are traditionally sold with mooncakes, mainly to attract the kids. Why the baked biscuits are shaped in the form of piglets is anyone's guess, but the colorful plastic baskets they come in sure reminds one of real pigs trapped in rattan baskets, ready for the slaughter. In any case, these piglet biscuits sure bring back the good old' memories of childhood.

Pomelo

The word for pomelo in Chinese is homophonous with that for "blessing," and thus the fruit is considered auspicious. Since pomelo season coincides with Mid-Autumn Festival, this sweet fruit has naturally become a part of the festivities.

=======================================================


The month of Ramadan

In Singapore, every year, Muslims observe the fasting month of Ramadan

By sunset, the fast is completed by taking the lftar meal or “buka puasa” (breaking of the fast) .The month of Ramadan is an event when it is believed the Holy Quran “was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation.” Ramadan is a period of contemplation and worship. Also, it is a time to strengthen family and community ties. 12 Sept to 13 Oct 2007
