What is Stress?

One week into the starting of this blog, I am gonna complain about school for the second time. =B

I was feeling suffocated just now. My chest was tight. Tummy ached. After sharing my feelings with my girl, I realised that I was indeed stressed. Sunday is coming to an end, more importantly, the mid-term break is coming to an end, and I have not finished the things I set out to do.

Although this semester seems to be the slackiest of all sems, just 3 prescribed and 1 core, the work seems endless. one sw testing lab report every fortnight, each require at least 5-6 hours of effort to compile. And then there's robotics lab report due soon, i never even used matlab before. ha ha. Never was I so hardworking, stay in the library till it closes for almost 4 days per week. But that's still not enough. I am still behind in revision for every subject. Then there is also FYP, despite spending all my time after lesson in lab, I still can't finish it yet. Report is due 2 weeks. How? And then there's something call preparation work for job hunting. Submitting applications and preparing documents also require hours of effort. Attending recruitment talks, going for openhouses, all take up time. Then what about the economics essays I need to write? Can't believe for just 1 more au, I need to work so much more. Its such a torture to engine-students who spend more time working out problems than writing essays. Its good thing mobile is merely difficult and there is no lab work. But then there are quizzes coming up soon.

The complains at HWzone bout SCE course (reduced-workload) being tough by some freshmen seem to be some kinda joke. Cuz never in my four years I felt as suffocated as now. Never hear the SA old-timers complain before. But all these ramblings sure make me feel better. And if you reading this is suffering as well, you have a friend in the same boat. You can give me your comments and vent out your frustration. =)


//Good thing I have my mahjong kakis to destress me once in a while. Thanks!

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...

What Do You Think?

What makes a good leader? Some will say a good leader is someone who can bring the best out of his/her people. How do you bring the best out of his/her people? Some will say by giving pointers and guidance.  How do you give pointers and guidance? Some will talk. In fact, most will just talk.  I think a good leader should be someone who walk the talk, not just talk. A good leader gets his/her hands dirty to show his/her people the way. Some may say this is spoon-feeding. I think otherwise. For example, if your staff ask you for guidance on work, most bosses would dispense some wise words, "Do this, look out for this, highlight this...". At the end of the day, the staff will come back to the bosses with the work and bosses will say, "no no, do this, not that". I would think a good leader should draft out the frame on the actual work (may it be slides or documents), then dispense his words of wisdom. The staff will do his/her thinking along that frame and f...
