Put Away That PSP.

I read this article, "Put away that PSP and pick up a book" last week on myPaper.

My little opinion this is that
to each its own. But to begin with, perhaps his observation is a lil' flawed. While it is true at times many people are indulged in their hand-held gaming devices, there are also times when I see many reading papers (Today, myPaper, etc.) in the train. Some even tried reading when there isn't nuff room to stand! Of course, that will be another entry on its own. :p

The fact is we are living in modern times where we are spoilt for choices of things to do during our journey between places. Do you remember the times seeing many people playing the
brick game or Tamagotchi in the train?

Many new gadgets fill our hands from time to time, but the pleasure of reading is here to stay. Personally I enjoy my PSP. There are times I rather read a fiction book and get hooked to the story. There are times when I prefer to just glance thru' the morning papers to keep up with the current affairs. There are times I would read some technical or non-fiction books. There are times I want to rest my eyes and listen to some soothing music. And of course, there are times I like to not do anything but just sit there and look at my surroundings.

I bet the writer did just that before deciding to write bout his observations. It is great to know he is a keen reader. I hope he will understand the need for a journalist to have unbiased opinions and to keep up with times.

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...

Saturday Afternoon Routine.

I just got back from the Saturday tuition sessions. It has been almost 5 months since I started.I have two classes of primary school children, P4 and P3, taking Maths and Science, and English, respectively. It has become a Saturday routine. A energy-draining activity. It is somehow different from giving volunteering tuition. When you are paid, the responsibility seems greater. And if you ain't doing a good job, someone else is readily available to take up yours. The fact that I really need that money, I have to put in more effort. Some students have left, and some have joined. I'm not sure whether they left cuz they think I ain't good 'nuff for them. But there are some who seem really happy and appreciative to have me around. On my first lesson, I set the ground rules for my classes. I told them my expectations on their behavior. On boy, how naive I was. They are only nine or ten, they don't understand the significance of those rules. After a couple of lessons with ...
