I was talking to my old(er) & male ‘colleagues’. We’re discussing about taking a prof into our 'consideration' regarding the situation on hand (long story- don’t let me start on that one). Towards the end, he said, “…I’ve her number. She can always call me whenever she feels lonely!” Hey! I was dumbfounded. Juz b’coz a female person is recently widowed or divorced, it doesn’t mean that she’s easy prey. It is really a rude thing to say. And the other guy just laughed. But it was no joking matter!

Alice told me that S-Wan is getting married soon. Good for her. The thing is The Wedding Plan is going to be affected since the groom-to-be’s parents refused to attend the tea-drinking ceremony, which is quite significant traditionally. C’mon, juz b’coz she’s 3-yr older than him? It’s ok for Nazrin-Zara, M-Douglas&CZ-Jones, CT&Dato’K but not vice versa? The only extreme exception that I can think of are D-Moore&A-Kutcher, not so obvious E-Longoria&that-b/ball-player, and Madonna& her British-director-hubby. But hey, what about Osama’s son’s latest wife huh?
Back to our friend. they’ve known each other for quite a while (used to work together). Now, they’re staying far apart (like North & South) since the guy is going back to join the family business. It doesn’t sound good to me (read: maybe meddling in-laws). However, I do hope the couple can work things out & really have a happy marriage (not just the wedding).

That also remind me of Vic. She had recently registered her marriage Down Under after a long wait for her parents’ approval (still not yet granted). She really wants to have a temple wedding but then….Of course, we understand that any parents would want the best spouse/partner for their kids but life isn’t going to be picture perfect or as you wished it to be. You’ve to give or take a few.

My version of 'how to change a light bulb':
First, always check the starter – adjust by twisting motions. And switch on and off again.
Then, check the bulb (which one ni? fluorescent lamps vs incandescent light bulbs i.e. those with soft yellow-white light) – take out and replace if it’s burnt out.
Next, if it still doesn’t work, unscrew the middle part of the light fixture to open it. Using tester pen, check the in- & outflow of current. Unscrew and change the parts accordingly. See attached pic.
What is needed? Screw driver, tester pen, replacement items, & a ladder of course!
Short cut: A manly alpha D-I-Y male is always welcome in any household.
