2007 Birthday Wish List.

It's two months to my birthday and I have decided to shamelessly post a list of presents I wish to get so that my dear friends can pool your resources to get me something of higher monetary value. heh heh. If you read the list carefully, you will probably realise almost all the items are too expensive to get, good to have but I don't really need them. I will be as happy to get anything else. In fact, I will greatly appreciate if you even remembers the day. Anyway for the fun of it, here's the list:

1. A chic Laptop Bag for 13.3" laptop.
Why? >> Cuz my Fujitsu laptop bag is old and dull. Of cuz no need to get these high-end ones lah, I saw some really nice one at the Apple authorized store in Orchard Cineleisure as well.

2. A bottle of Designer cologne.
Why? >> Cuz what makes one smell man enough is not his perspiration. Which brand of cologne do ladies like best? You decide! I tried Davidoff Coolwater, Hugo Boss Emotion, GF Ferre, DKNY Delicious, so don't get me any of these.

[Update@31 Mar 2007: Just bought a bottle of CK Eternity today!]

3. Apple IPhone.
Why? >> Cuz it is slim, it has an amazing interface, it is one chic phone. Nevermind the fact that I can't use it in office, I will gladly use it as weekend phone.

4. An Apple MacBook or an iMac.
Why? >> Cuz I am joining the Apple bandwagon. Cuz I read this and I wanna make the switch too!

5. A Nintendo Wii.
Why? >> Cuz I was never a big console game player and my free Xbox is outta date. It's about time.

6. A Cello or trumpet.
Why? >> Cuz item six of my new year resolution review says I want to pick up a new musical instrument.

7. Five good books.
Why? >> Cuz I love to read if I have more time. Why five? No reason, just a random number, and I think five books will occupy me for quite sometime. Anything in your opinion are good? Don't be fooled, books ain't cheap either. =p

8. A Watch.
Why? >> Cuz I have been told more than once that my watch is old and ugly. Tho' I beg to differ, I wouldn't mind something for a change. Would prefer a Frank Muller. But Tag Huer also can lah.

9. A pair of Sony earphones.
Why? >> Cuz nothing sound as good as that from the Sony earbud earphones. Crisp clear music brightens my mood. Tho' they spoil so easily, so are my ears, spoilt for only the best earphones.

10. A Clumper bag.
Why? >> Cuz its nice but I can never spend such money on a bag. No pink, no green.

11. A Canon digital camera.
Why? >> Cuz I wanna take some good photographs and I need a camera. I would prefer one from the Powershot family.

Feeling generous? You can get me more than one item, or I can email you a longer list. =p Seriously, I am not expecting any of these
lah. Real-ly.

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...
