Happy Valentine's Day !!! A Technical Guy Saves Money...
Today is St Valentine's Day. What is a Valentine by the way? A valentine or a valentine card is a greetings card that you send to someone who you are in love with or are attracted to, usually without signing your name, on St Valentine's Day, the 14th of February. It was on the Valentine's Day one score and three (23) years ago that I courted my wife and then ...
Time flies, we are married for almost 19 years. This year, we celebrate our wedding anniversary every day. Do you know why? I leave it to you to find out. So, this morning, my wife and I had a simple "Kway Chap" breakfast together at the coffee shop at Hougang Green with a cup of coffee.
Then, we went into a traditional hardware shop. As I was walking down the rows of shelves, my mind was constantly reminded through the visual contact with the various items, that certain items are needed to replace those at home, that are no longer usable, beyond repair or had worn out through normal wear and tear.
Well, most of the time, I am the free handyman at home, being assigned jobs ranging from changing the toilet bowl cover to changing the goose-neck tap at the washing basin, repairing the doors of the wardrobe to the changing of light bulbs and circular fluorecent tubes and changing the filthy and stinking water for the two terrapins regularly. The terrapin owner seems to be responsible for feeding and nothing else!!! Hmmmmmm...
So, it makes economic sense for girls to find a partner who is technically-inclined or practice-oriented. But, be careful, such people usually tend to be less romantic with one or two exceptions!!! Many people think I am one of the few... mmmmmm... any violent objections? Well, even if there are, objections overruled!
Talking about the two terrapins, when they were first migrated to our home and being housed specifically in a blue basin with an inch of water in it and placed near the entrance to the toilet with adequate exposure to sunlight and good ventilation, they were as small as a twenty-cent coin. But, now, they are as big as an adult palm. Here is the picture.
