Hi all,
Happy Valentine’s Day, this year’s special occassion also coincided with the 15th day of the new Lunar Year for the Chinese – which traditionally, was an occassion for unmarried men and women to scout each other out before marriage proposals are brought up between families. (At certain periods in China, ladies seldom/rarely have an opportunity to get out of the house to be seen, and the 15th day is often the only occassion whereby they can get out of the house to roam the streets – officially to view the lanterns on display, unofficially to look around for potential mates)!
Tomorrow (15 Feb 2014), LAS will have our annual party on a junk cruise around the Southern Isles of Singapore – for members who have already signed up, please remember to have fun! For members, who have missed out, do watch out for more events being planned by our programs committee for this year.
We are in the midst of getting the 2013 SJLIM issue ready to be electronically published. Members are reminded that we no longer do a physical publication of our journal. Once it’s ready, we will highlight the links to the new issue, please watch out for it.
