Who says the year of Tiger is not good for Marriage?

Who says the year of Tiger is not good for Marriage?

I can't believe that people nowadays are still very superstitious over such thing.People tend to overgeneralise what "feng sui" masters have told us.Once the news - "Is the year of Tiger good for Marriage?" was out as headline in newspaper, people tend to talk about this and make a lot of comments. Some people believe it blindly without thinking that this is only a reference/guideline for couples.It does not mean that this applies to every couple.If that so, I guess that the restaurants around the world will be closing down because of such beliefs.

However, surprisingly, most of the restaurants are fully reserved for wedding receptions.Couples tend to be extra-careful when choosing the dates as peopple might ask you,"you guys are getting married?Tiger year is not good for Marriage ler..." What would you feel if someone tells you such thing instead of expecting them to say ,"Hey, congratulations!"

As far as I know, a few dates were chosen and most restaurants were fully booked till the end of this year.and they are FAST!Perhaps, "feng sui" masters are right, no one says you should not marry this year but you must choose appropriate dates.

CONGRATULATIONS to those couples who are going to marry this year (2010) and successfully made reservation for your favourite restaurants!

Welcome Tiger!

Here comes the TIGER!

Happy Chinese New Year!May you have a prosperous and blessed year!

Tiger is a fierce and untamed animal. We never associate tigers as "cute" or "lovable". Therefore, people are afraid of tigers. However, tigers have its good characteristics. If we look at the other perspective, tigers are fierce but "fierce" can be also related to "firmness"-Firmness of doing things. Sometimes, we have to be firm if we want to achieve a goal especially a leader who is firm to his surbodinates.

Tigers are strong animals. Strong - powerful in that sense. Who does not want to be powerful? Imagine how fast can a tiger run? it leaps!

Any brands or company uses the symbol of "tiger" as their logo?

Oh ya!I always take this....to Singapore!

2 better than 1 - Taylor Swift

Lyrics to Two Is Better Than One :

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought

"Hey, you know, this could be something"

'Cause everything you do and words you say

You know that it all takes my breath away

And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face

The way you roll your eyes

The way you taste

You make it hard for breathing

'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away

I think of you and everything's okay

I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

Yeah, yeah

I remember what you wore on the first day

You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"

maybe it's true

That I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking

I can't live without you

'Cause, baby, two is better than one

There's so much time

To figure out the rest of my life

But I'll figure it out

When all is said and done

Two is better than one

Two is better than one

A person whom I admire the most

We always come across this title when we were asked to write an essay during our schooling years - be it in English, Bahasa Malaysia or Mandarin; in Primary, Secondary or sometimes in Tertiary Level. However, the content is always boring and dull because we are always taught in the same old way.

The person whom I admire the most is not someone popular or someone good-looking. In contrast, he is an ordinary old man. He has wrinkled face and rough hands. He did not attend schools. His wrinkled face reveals his valuable experience in life, hardships which he had gone through ages ago ; his age shows that he "eats salt more than we eat rice" (a Chinese saying). He does not have black hair but he still has few (when you have close scrutiny). His grey hair is evidently obvious and shines under hot sun. He does not have an outstanding physical outlook but I must tell you, he has a great personality and an analytical mind.

He is my beloved grandpa. He is almost 76 years old and you may guess how much hardships and obstacles he had gone through during his years - from Japanese Occupation to British Revolution. Like what I aforementioned, he did not attend schools, maybe it's not he did not want to, it's just that he was not given a chance. Although he did not go to school, he has a great mind - something which we never learn in our textbooks or within our classroom setting but he can master it all.

He is not colour-blinded. He can differentiate black and white, right or wrong, applying his 75-year life experience into the contexts; complicated ones. He seems to master all philosophies of life and principles of life which I believe, he gathers during his bygone years or yesterdays. He listens, understands, analyzes and suggests everything systematically and rationally. He knows what to behave and what not to although sometimes he is confused of these restaurants - McDonald and KFC. He does not use calculators, he used albacus. His Mathematics calculations is so much better than I. He is quick. I must admit.

I am glad that he acts as my good listener and analysist. I always tell my husband, if he was given a chance, he might be a Minister or someone who contributes to the society.I must say, the degree which I got in my hands cannot be compared with the degree he got. I learn what I was supposed to learn and it's confined but his education is broad, varied and self-oriented. No syllabus, no chapters and no teachers to facilitate. He is a teacher himself and he got chapters of life which most of the time, he flips through and teaches new generations.

I never thought that he is a detailed observant ;never thought that he has so much ideas and never thought that he is serious in everything he says.

I must say that he is not 75 years old. He is only 25. There is no generation gap between he and I. He is trendy, he goes "Old Town White Coffee" and he ordered cakes from "Secret Recipe". He sometimes use English words...Amazing grandpa right?

He is indeed, a person whom I admire the most. Not too late to discover this yesterday.
