I WISH MY FAMILY TO BE HEALTHY AND MY HUSBAND TO BE GOOD TO ME
The tourism board has put up a “Santa’s Town” in Central and amongst the setup is a “Wishing Corner” where people write their wishes on some cards and then hang them on one of these plastic tree-shaped racks. Not really an original idea as the tourism board had arranged similar thing for the Temple Fair in April, as seen in this previous post. I just want to show you that though the events are so very different in nature, religion and culture-wise, the wishes are very similar.

If I could write something to hang up, I hope everyone’s wish would come true. Btw, this new site is looking great! Prior noticeable kinks are all gone; proofreading bill cancelled.

December 3rd, 2006, at 11:32 pm #walter and everybody, I got a serious spam attack two nights ago and have to clean up a lot of messages and trackbacks about casinos, orgy, drugs and what not.
so…I have installed a spam plugin, right now it sees some of your comments as spam (not just you walter, sorry!) which I manually “rescued” from the spam folder. I am redoing the settings and training the plugin to be nice to you all, so bear with me, just make sure you press submit properly and if it doesn’t show up immediately, it will soon when I check the spam folder…:-)

You know, the princess and the prince crossing the Milky Way once a year thing - I think it was Chinese in origin. Anyhoo, this year, my five-year old nephew’s dream was, “Please don’t let Mom become on old lady” !!!
