Food for Thought.

Last week, I came across this book by Adele Lang and Susi Rajah in the library. It was filled with many questions... And the one answer to these questions was quite obvious, so I decided to share with you some of the more interesting questions.

1. Why aren't low-calorie foods marketed to fat men?
2. Why is there anti-cellulite cream but not anti-beer-belly cream?
3. Why is it that only rich women can afford live-in child care when the poorest man can get it by marriage?
4. If men thought God was a woman, would they still kill and die for Her?
5. Why is a bachelor always eligible but a spinster never so?
6. Why is master a title of respect but mistress not?
7. Why can smart women get ahead by playing dumb?
8. Why are the women who fly business class usually flight attendants?
9. If nice guys never get the girl, does that mean all women are married to bastards?
10. Why is man only interested in a woman until she is interested in him?

Perhaps, many of us are still unconsciously slanted to one gender in our thoughts and behaviour. But I think what matters is at the end of the day, we take full consideration of how others feel before our action, regardless they are male or female. By the way, the title of the book is "I'm Not a Feminist, But...". Interesting book, maybe you'll wanna pick it up from the library too.

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. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

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...
