New Gimmick.

The main objective of advertisement is to grab the viewers' attention. Yesterday I saw one on the train that certainly grabbed my attention. When the train stopped at Orchard MRT, a bunch of guys wearing white tee with a big blue alphabet on each of their backs (like those on the yellowpages advertisement) boarded the train. At first I thought they probably just got off work from some advertisement gimmick in Orchard. And must be from HP as well, cuz I saw a "H" and "P" side by side. Then I saw them standing in a row and the alphabets on their backs made up a word "HYPE", as you can see in the picture below (eh ... can't quite see the 'E'),

I realised the actual place of their 'act' was the train cabin itself. It made me pay attention to the small print url below the collarline of their tee "http://www.hypegallery.com". Their gimmick worked very well, cuz when I got home I checked out their website. It turns out Hyper Gallery is a collection of Hype art inspired by youths from around the world. The project was first funded by HP in 2003. That explains the "HP" I saw when they first got on the train, and the blue and white colour scheme of the tee.

It is definitely cheaper and more effective gimmick than the moo media thingy.

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. :-)

I Will Be Back With More Time.

It is more than two years since I last blogged! Not that nothing interesting happened. In fact, plenty happened! Shifted house, shifted office, boys grew, had Hand Foot Mouth Disease (ouch!)! Just to name a few. There were gains and losses. Life's ups and downs. Of me, and those around me. I haven't been doing much deep thinking and thus less writing. Not enough time? That is probably an excuse. But it is true that I have not slept well for quite awhile. It is hard to explain the stress from work, where nothing goes smooth, and every step forward is a hurdle. Technology also had made it simple and addictive for us to mindlessly share. Share our thoughts in bits and pieces. Forming persona of ourselves to acquaintances and friends I hardly meet anymore. I remember experimenting with Tumbler, finding ways to post once, publish everywhere. It didn't quite work out. Even when technology made it is so easy, I have not been diligently editing and uploading photos of my darlin
