I have a little time to spend online before I rush out again today.

I spent Mother’s Day (2 days ago) working as it may be the best thing I can do for her. She is quite a shopholic or else she will move furniture around the house when she’s too bored. I guess she can do almost anything just as long as it means she does not slip into progressive amnesia (loss of memory) which is dangerous for those above 60.

I am proud to admit that I am more affectionate to her than she ever was to me.  I don’t remember a time when she’d ever come over to kiss my cheeks before I go to school.  I remember the stern look on her face when she said CROSS THE ROAD PROPERLY AR!

And I also remember the look of shock on her face, when I openly hugged and told her for the first time I LOVE YOU MUM!  I was 23 then.  (I guess she realised she had never openly show her love to us kids.  Parents don’t always express their love the way we want them to, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love us.)

And to fear a parent is not quite the same as to respect a parent.  (I don’t think kids should fear their parents although they should fear any consequences of their ‘bad actions’.)

You may have a THANK YOU MUM video sitting somewhere so…..with reference to the tutorial I wrote some time back How you can create nice videos with a freefull version no-trial-limit software with Windows Movie Maker in a few simple easy-to-understand steps, Microsoft has more comprehensive online tutorials on how to use WMM (WMM comes bundled asnd is Fr.eE with every MS Windows XP/Vista although you will have fewer problems with XP because Windows Vista is not compatible with many software.)

As for MAC users, you have the bundled iMovie to help you with editing your videos.

I’ll return later to post more tips for those (like me) who like to pimp up your website/blog/avatar with videos and such.  Till then, have an amazing day!

I remember feeling wierd when an ex-colleague said they did not throw a wedding feast for their relatives.  “My husband introduced me to his parents the next Chinese New Year as his lawfully-wedded wife.  We figured we prefer to use our savings for our honeymoon.”

It wasn’t until a year later when I hear about a friend’s complaints about her in-laws, that I felt, this ex-colleague was right.  They did have a choice about what they both want.

Although it is a common custom/tradition to throw a banquet dinner for relatives and friends, a marriage is really about JUST THE 2 OF THEM.  The bride is not going to get a headache (or regret later) wearing a gown of her mother-in-law’s choice.  Neither is the groom gonna be psychoed to wear a tuxedo not “his colour”.

And no longer do people marry just once.  There are couples going through the whole church “I DO” ceremonies every 7 years or every 10 years of their marriage.  Sorta like renewing their vows…..rejuvenating the feelings that were there when they initially knew each other.  Shaking up the good memories and then discussing or debating which wedding was “better”.  lol

How many of us view love relationships or marriages as life’s options?  Options as in “non-mandatory choice” in life?

I guess may be the answer is “not many”.

The choice to be single and happy is mine.  If a man cannot take a rejection (I do not reject without good solid reasons and esecially so when he’s asked why) and is not gracious enough to apologise for an offence he committed, then he cannot blame me for striking his name off my NICE PEOPLE list.

People who say you are a loner are not worth shit and are quite prejudiced in their own private warped world.  They contribute nothing to the online community except to offer their “pathetic sticks” for the world to see.  (Joking about sexual parts once too often is offensive.)

There are also many married women in “dating communities” who aren’t really looking for boyfriends.  Being in a “dating comunity” no longer means you’re looking for your “other half”.

Sure, it’s human nature not to be alone (again “alone” is not equal to “lonely”).  Look at all the successful people and you see they are not hermits working alone.   But relationships are choices; they are either accepted or rejected.

How the world changes and I think, many things will continue to revolutionise, not just relationships or whether people want to celebrate with a wedding feast.
