Introduction- Myself

I was born in 1974, September 23.
With that, in all Chinese superstition- 2309 became my favorite numbers.

I was brought up in a big family. My grandfather made his way down to Singapore with his father from South China. And he strived through making chinese burn papers towers for burning during chinese festivals. In hokkien dialect, we call it "teng liao". A tower of light? Beacon? Maybe.

You may be curious what this teng liao is... Here are some references. Hope you find them interesting. Look at how intricate the designs are. It was just a simple tower made of papers during my grandfather's days.

With his wife, my grandmother- they gave birth to 3 boys and 5 daughters. I was the eldest boy in the family and supposed the one to carry on the bloodline through my generation. That is still a promise a made to my grandfather even now. I am currently happily married with 2 daughters... so I gotta push on and bear a son if I were to keep this promise.
