Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Except for the obese Indian lady in purple, sitting beside me, on Seat K13, in GV Bishan Cinema 4, at 1830hrs, who was digging her teeth with a hairpin (no, not implying anything nor attempting to make a seditious remark, purely factual and disgusting!), it was an entertaining movie. I must confess that I have never read a single Rowling book, neither am I a big fan of Potter, so hopefully my short review will be a fair one - based completely on the movie itself.

I must say this is the best of the series so far (yes, for the movies, I have watched every single one of the last three in the series). The CG is still fantastic! I love the blue goblet flame. More mythical creatures - dragons and unicorns. There was less of scenes of charming children with magick and trickeries. There were more of emotional ups and downs, moments when I was touched by Harry's little victories and cheers from his friends, and moments when my girlfriend shed some tears for Cedric Diggory. But despite all the hype about Harry's love interest, Cho Chang, only appeared in a handful of scenes. That was abit disappointing. I guess she will be appearing more in the next movie. So much for the "sexual jealousy" among Harry and his friends, except for one scene when Hermione Granger revealed the product of her puberty to Ron Weasley. lol. I hope you ain't thinking of anything funny! I'm talking about her attempt to get back at Ron for not behaving like a big boy when it comes to matters of the heart.

I think that is all I can reveal about the show. My rating for the Goblet of Fire is 4 outta 5, you gotta catch it. I will leave you with some meaningful words from Prof Dumbledore, "Soon you'll face the decision between the right or easy. Remember, your friends will be with you!"

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...
