TOML - Morning Goteborg.

Its 5am here in Goteborg. But I am awaken by my growling stomach and the noisy sea gulls. My stomach is still in the SG time zone lah. It is lunch time for my stomach now. And the sea gulls must be the Swedish equivalent of noisy mynahs in Singapore.

A quick look of the morning street from the lil' rooftop window before I continue to account the transit day tour at Amsterdam. It is a darn heavy window. Kept it open using a bottle. Hah.


On the left you can see the old German church. Gonna visit it later of the day.


And on the right you can see the stadium with the red words "SCANDIA" on top. Hmm... can't quite see it in the picture.


The cool morning air is really refreshing. No pollution. No "funny chocolate smell" like you-know-where. And not that many people too! There is plenty of room in the trams, buses, streets for everyone. I am beginning to enjoy the slower pace of life here (perhaps that is because I am on holiday, no need to work!). Air-condition is just a matter of opening the windows. You can really enjoy lazing at home cuz it is not humid and room is really cool. Had a short walk around the neighbourhood last evening before dinner. Tho' the shops closed at 7pm, it was nice walking down the cobble pedestrian walkway in the slight drizzle. Envy me right? Wish you were here with me? ;-p

Btw, if you are wondering what is TOML, it is not an acronym for some new university entry exam like GMAT or TOEFL. It means "Trip-Of-My-Life"!

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...
