Mental Strength and Character to Prevail.

It was my first cup finals on cable. The Red Devils lost 5-4 on penalties. Not a graceful win for the opponent team. Penalty shootout is a cruel and unfair way to decide the winner. An inaccurate representation of the team's performance. "...they had the 'Mental strength' and 'character' to prevail" That's darn bullshit.The fact is both teams had shown pretty much determination, enduring the more than 120 mins of gameplay, and the team won simply because they had luck on their side. But of coz, nothing is really fair in this world. I am just a bit disappointed that they came short in winning the cup. Probably many would be cursing for losing money. On a separate note, below are some pictures of the Valentine's Day gift I received earlier this year. I have decided to post it because the other day I finally have the chance to eat it together (hmmmm... yeah.... it was in my fridge all along). So we took some pictures before sinking our teeth onto the cookie. Yum Yum! It was still edible! The Mrs Field's Chocolate cookies are incredible! You must try it if you have the chance okay?

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...
