Chaperone Lady

Only recently I added this word to my English vocabulary, "Chaperone Lady" or better known as Dai Kum Jie. Chinese has dozens of traditional customs in wedding, so we thought it would be better to have this lady to guide us through a smooth and blissful chinese wedding. 

I was checking with few good friends who has recently got married, got a few contacts from them. Apparently there are some criteria to fulfil as a Chaperone, which are:
  • Pleasant appearance
  • Quick thinking and observant
  • Fluent with auspicious speech; best in yours and in-law's dialect
  • Well-versed in traditions, ceremonies and important customs
For us, we prefer someone who's less pushy and with modern thinking, someone who can cheer up the wedding events and bring fun to the serious rituals in Chinese wedding.  

So after speaking to a few ladies, we finally made decision to hire "Tou Jie or Doris" from Thean Hou Temple as our Chaperone Lady. She's a lovely lady, always wears a big smile on her face and was really friendly to us. She has more than 20 years of experience being a Chaperone, so we could trust her and let her guide us through the customary and rituals on our actual day. Her charges are reasonable too, RM 500 nett. 

Yet another item on the checklist - DONE!

W.O.T.P.

10th of November 2012, the day we booked our first property together as husband and wife. It was indeed a huge milestone after we signed our ROM papers. This is a luxury condominium developed by Selangor Dredging Berhad and it's located at Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, Batu 9, Cheras Selatan. This is a very interesting development because it is situated on 8.9 acres of Freehold land with 4.2 acres of landscaped environment (Yes, half of the development is actually greenery!) The unit built-up range between 916 sq. ft. to 4,311 sq. ft. and sold for about RM450 - RM680 per square feet.  We bought a unit at Block C which is lowest block on the left. Location of W.O.T.P. with proposed MRT station few kilometers away.  The lovely greenery and facilities are really serene and awesome!

What am I?

It has been some time since I last updated this blog. Heaps of stuff happened and I just had the time to pull a break and evaluate the events that happened to me in the past 1 month. I've changed my job, moving into sales line is not an easy decision to make. I was doubtful with myself until I really come on board. Perhaps it may be too soon to tell where I stand in this job, but I was really thankful that my current boss gave me an insight of myself. We had sessions to understand what are our temperament. This is something that govern what kind of job that fits us. Apparently I am an "Artisan" after few rounds of personality tests. An artisan loves freedom, leads by taking action, seeks to have impact and variation, needs appreciation, a risk taker, problem solver and an opportunist. When I read the full description bout what I am, I immediately understand why I felt in constraint and bored working in the manufacturing line. I am just not that type of person that falls i...

Life

I'll be quarter a century old in a day. In a day's time my birthday would come, and most probably would just simply go. Didn't expect much this year, or maybe age has certain impact on me. I'll be 25 soon. This is so alarming scary, time just flew too fast. Everything changes. I looked like awfully nerdy 3 years ago when I was still in UPM. I've started working one year ago, this was the fastest one year in my life. Life has been so committed to work and work, I couldn't realise time flew across and here I am. Evaluating what I've done over the past 1 year. I've learnt many many things, both in life and in work. From an ordinary 2nd upper graduate to now a project engineer. Nothing big achieved but I felt contented, at least I'm working towards my goal. It's just kinda overwhelming to think back times, was so excited on the 1st day of kindy, was so nervous going into primary school compound, was so trilled to step into secondary school, was so c...
