Today I married my friend ...

"Today I married my Friend...the one who shares my hopes and dreams. This is my beloved and this is my friend."

I am 9 years married today.

I have a wonderful wife and two beautiful children - a family of my own. A precious treasure of more value to me than all the wealth in the world.

A seed was planted and a beautiful garden has sprung.

Thanks for visiting dandan, I am glad that I was able to lift your spirits (but you must translate Chinese characters for me - I can only manage Indo-European languages, preferably English, French, or Spanish, but I can muddle through most of the others).

If you want to find true love, then you must build it on a foundation of friendship. It might take a long time, I didn't have my first (and only) girlfriend until I was 29.

Risky Singapore?

-
CBC Radio had a documentary on Singapore and its lack of risk taking yesterday (only just heard it this morning). Since I know there are 1 or 2 Singaporean readers of this blog, I am curious to know how accurate the documentary is. I find that people often have mistaken impressions about other cultures and people. You can hear it here .

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some
