HUAT Ah 2008!

Ho ho ho! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Gong Xi Fa Choy! Muah Muah Muahz~*

Other than the couple of London posts, it had been two months since I blogged last December. It wasn't that life had been uneventful... Certainly, many significant activities had taken place. Such as Christmas and New Year in Shanghai, dear's Birthday, Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day etc. And I missed my regular entries of the New Year Resolutions, Kudos to my friends etc. Oh and do you remember the TOML series which I had barely started? But my dear had been much more diligent with her entries. Read this, this and this!

The Power of Procrastination! In fact, blogging is one of the last thing I should be doing right now. The are three projects and one last term paper to do. One trip report to be completed. The big stone pressing against my heart is the trip report. Unfortunately I had been busy with other work since I got back. I really should be coughing out a report just about end of this week... I already have plans to a one day leave next week to finish off my term paper.

Well 'nuff of the procrastination. I am deeply encouraged by my good friend to blog. She complimented about my writings and I am afraid she may be bored at office again tomorrow cuz of my lack of updates. =p So let me tell you about the CNY visit to my house yesterday! A buncha of...


... not shells lah, but kakis from office, my best friends, visited me yesterday. They are none other than the Three Golden Flowers (Stitchy-Sop aka Ms Mee Siam Red Hibiscus, KC-XTT aka My Melody lil' Ms Pinkie Periwinkle, and
YeeYee aka Ms Spick-and-Span Yellow Sunflower). Not the Golden Girls lah... where got so old. =p And the other two FA(s)! HUAT AH! Buy TOTO!


It has been quite a while since my friends visited my house during CNY. I stayed up till 2am on Friday to spruce thing up abit (actually just wiping off the dust on the visible areas). Apparently that wasn't quite enough. YeeYee hadta to open the absolutely no-no drawers and cupboards! I won't say my room is neat and clean, but it isn't exactly messy either. I have these many things and just as many broken cupboards as well (Yea, the doors are fallin' down!!!). No choice but to pack them nicely in boxes and bags on the floor. Maybe my room is luxurious enough for me and myself, but a lil' too crowded the six of us.

Despite that, we had lotsa fun going through my childhood photos, playing UNO, Bridge, among the many things we did. We had so much fun that we forgot about eating the CNY goodies and playing the XBox. Perhaps everyone was too full from the Golden Pillow Five Course Lunch. Well if they had finished the CNY goodies, I wouldn't have anything to gorge down just now... My lo-mai-kai wasn't much of a dinner. The other highlight of the day was that my dish-washing skill was assessed as under-par. Aunties have high expectations for me lah. I thought the plates were quite clean already loh...

Once again, I wanna thank everyone for coming. It meant alot to me to have you in my room (such a silly thought for somebody my age) and having so much fun (from behaving unlike our age). Whose house shall we visit next year? You know who you are hor lil' red flower... =p

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...
