Shop Shop Shop!

Nothing like spending an afternoon shopping with two of my very very good friends. -smiles- It was the first time I did a "crazy" thing of taking leave for the Great Singapore Sale. Like the typical guy, I was the first to complete my shopping - within the first few minutes - and never looked back. And like all typical women, the ladies only managed to get one item for themselves in the entire afternoon. I suspect it was due to the difference in variety. Most people are unable to notice the subtle differences in a rack of slacks. Navy blue? Black? Elephant? Thin lines, thick lines? No lines? But with women's clothing... Wohhhhh... the colours, cuttings, styles, auntie-type, classy-type, young-girl-type, elegant-type, etc.

In a way, it was good shopping with them. First, it prevented me from spending more than necessary. Secondly, it was a good form of exercise. Most of the time, I would involuntarily start to yawn. Thus, I had to actively participate in giving comments and identifying suitable and pretty clothes for dear friends. It proved another cliche observation that men's and women's taste differ. Tho' my suggestions were mostly rejected, I still had fun - till it got too crowded at the shoes section... Time for the shopping-male to leave some room for the all-terrain-workhorse-shopping-female.

I hope I didn't offend anyone with my sincere and honest comments. Afterall, they were always aimed at the clothes. The people are always beautiful despite the non-flattering clothes. On the other hand, pretty clothes can really enhance their beauty and turn some heads. As the saying goes, 人靠衣装 mah. If not for my tired feet, I would really like to provide my service to my dear as well. Yet I enjoyed the alternate activity of watching Kungfu Panda. "The over-exposed awesomeness that blinds the eyes!" It was a chance for laughter and rest for my tired feet. Btw, stay till the end of credits for a short touching scene. I only found about it from IMDB. =(

So, anyone else needs a male's opinion in the following weeks of the GSS? Do let me know. =)

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...
