of quiet cny

Today marks the 49th day of my Grandma's passing. I joined in the ritual with my relatives to pay our respect to Grandma. At the end of the 1.5 hour ritual, one of my aunt prayed in front of my Grandma's photo, threw 2 20-cent coins on the floor and started crying. "She has gone up to heaven", my aunt told us. My aunt had asked Grandma if she had already gone up to heaven.

This is a quiet Chinese New Year for us. Hardly can you find Chinese family grocery shopping and eating lunch at Mcdonald's on the first day of Chinese New Year. Or a Chinese goondu guy washing car on the Second Day. People in the cars that passed by the washing bay just stared at me. But no choice have to wash, my car was covered with a layer of dirt until even catepillar also stuck on the car.

of sentosa flowers 2006

We made a trip to Sentosa this morning for the Sentosa Flowers 2006. We did not expect the place to be crowded but we were wrong. The place was swarmed with people, especially tourists.

of the day i spent $960

I think Singapore dentists need 'problematic' people like me.

After patching the 'big hole' in my tooth, the dentist adviced to do 2 other 'problematic' tooth. Those 2 tooth had to do crowns.

I trusted what the dentist told me. I told him to go ahead because I was also adviced by another dentist quite some time back to do the same thing.

$480 for each crown!

of wisdom no more

My wisdom tooth filling dropped off again. This is the third time it dropped off.

It is a big filling. Almost half of the tooth.

I made an appointment to get the dentist to fix it but the dentist said that it had become difficult to patch back. He has referred me to another dentist who is more experienced in handling difficult cases like mine.

In the meantime, I need to wait to get my 'wisdom' back because that new appointment will only be in a few days time.

of i am a ok

Apologies for no updates lately. Thanks for all the emails and comments to check if I was all right.

Some of the things that happened over the past few weeks: We went for a short short holiday. Then my Grandma passed away. After that my compooter crashed.

Attending my Grandma's funeral was something new to me. It was my first Buddhist ritual experience and being the eldest grandson, I must be involved. Even brought Lancerlad to pay respects because he is the eldest Great-grandson.

When my compooter crashed, I was thinking if my Grandma was giving me a sign to tell me not to spend so much time in front of the screen.

Work is also busy as usual. And another thing, I will be cutting down on blogging from work because my company is tracking the usage of internet. Damn damn!

There were also comments left which I did not reply. Until Lancerlady buay tahan that she commented on my behalf.

Lastly very very sorry for not informing you all that I would be away. I did not expect to be away for so long.
