You are Mary Tyler Moore.

How big is the male ego? How many dents it takes for it to burst? What does it take for one to stop getting hurt? Where is that thin line between persistence and determination? Why when great expectations come big disappointments, we are still being hopeful everyday? When is enough really enough? Compounded miserable events are making this day very difficult for me. -big sigh- let's put these all aside... .. . a recap of the past few days: After weeks of exam self-confinement in the hostel, eating has become a chore. Here I'm, eating to live another day. I really hope to taste something good. And I did, after my first paper on Wednesday. I had the taste of one of the best chicken rice at Toa Payoh Lor 4. Well, it was better than any of the chicken rice in school. It was a shame that the Ah Heng bak chor mee, near the chicken rice stall, was closed on Wednesday. Was told it was one of the best in the area too. Shall we go there makan it next time? Ah, I had a visitor on Tuesday afternoon in my hall. It was none other mr shonendumm (the author of "orchard road", kindly click his link on the right if you wanna find out more 'bout him). Seen here below is mr shonendumm (the one with the dorky black-rimmed glasses who one might mistaken for "ooo wee ooo he look just like buddy holly").

Anyway, what was he doing here? Well, before I had my first paper on Wednesday, mr shonendumm had finished his last exam paper (last one in his uni-life as well). And so, he decided to pay us a visit and spread his joy to us. He came specially to read my blog, on my laptop, in my room, at my desk, on my chair, in the presence of me, as you can see from the picture below. Isn't that cool?

reading my blog

Of cuz, we also enjoyed a few games of Dai-Di, cracked some boyish-jokes, reminisced the high school days, and wrestled each other to the ground (yeah, thats what meowmeow-high boys do all the time). For that moment, we forgot about the exams as we relived the past. Thanks man.

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...
