Keeping up with the Kardashians

and so they say, if you don't follow traditions then you are not serious. I'm talking about marriage here. First of all, I would like to say that traditions are formed by other people so why do we have to follow what others are doing? Why can't we form our own traditions and have a nudist wedding on a nudist beach on a cold winter day and experience severe shrinkage and erect nipples? That's just judging without a basis.

To everyone else who attends a wedding dinner will eventually have that memory blurred away because to them, it's just another wedding dinner...how many do we have to attend such of these in your lifetime? Like it or not, it becomes a chore. How many times have I heard friends complain about having to give red packets at a Chinese wedding? To me, a wedding should be a celebration, not a chore.

I even heard that in Hong Kong, they even announce the amount of money you've given to the couple...so you ought to give more if you don't want to be embarrassed. The society we live in has created us to live in fear and paranoia, we have to keep up with the Kardashians and show face to other people. Silly isn't it?

So, are traditions a result of a society gone mad or are we keeping traditions because they are traditions?

Roadtrip to Sydney

Aussie New Year 2008/09

Roadtrip to Sydney was filled with smashed bugs on the car, fireworks, cold waters, ribs and a new bikini.

And the winner for best Xmas decoration is... this house

M is for Merry Christmas

Was down with hay fever but that didn't stop me from getting the best boxing day sale. This year's sale was better than ever, retail are all desperate to get rid of their stock in preparation for spring '09.

Went to visit M too. She's alittle bit bigger with much more hair and can say the words "No", "Bear" and "Baby" in English, the rest I dunno if its in vietnamese or baby gaga language.

Tomorrow will be my first road trip to Sydney. It's gonna take over 10 hours as we heard there are speed cameras stationed all along the expressway, meaning we've got to travel slower. Hotel rates are lower than last year's which is good for us. Looks like recession is not a bad thing after all. I'm all geared to becoming a recessionista!

Merry Christmas from CJ

The tree right outside the kitchen window has started blooming fire red flowers. I've never seen it like this before, most of the time, it is just bare brunches. There were at least 4 Rosellas perched in the tree licking nectar off the flowers. Yes, Rosellas are parrots.


Merry Christmas from CJ, Santa's helper.


Santa's ho

Xmas with the kitties

Yan is twice the size now, cuter and naughtier than ever before. He climbs trees, destroys Christmas decorations, not to mention he toppled the Christmas tree once. I fed him pork pate yesterday, I hope he liked it. Come to think of it, the pork pate does look like food for cats.

Mary on the other hand just chills out but she gets really perturbed by our lousy karaoke singing especially when someone tries to sing like a tranny from Thailand.

Pearlin and the Kitties

Dropping Dead

Was bringing Miso out for a walk this morning when I discovered another dead bird just outside of my house. The last one was a brown hawk owl. This time, I don't know the species...

http://www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/birds/Treron_vernans.htm - after some research, I found out that the bird is a female pink neck pigeon.


Olive green with some yellow feathers at the sides.


Looks like it crashed beak first... just look at the bloody splatter on the ground.
