Christmas Present for Myself!

Blink of the eye, it is Christmas again. And its X'mas-presents-show-and-tell-time! Remember the present for myself which I mentioned in the Souvenirs Galore entry? Well, I am gonna reveal what it is!

It is a RF 2009 Calendar from the RF Shop. It contains beautiful images from the 2008 season and Roger's childhood moments. My favourite is August's photograph - Roger's facial features still look almost the same right? :p Hope there'll be more moments like October's next year!



The calendar has all the tournament dates marked out. At the back, there is RF's autograph. And getting this calendar is also for a good cause - part of the Christmas spirit. =)

Initially I wanted to get this for the #1 RF fan, KC-XTT. But I got something even better for her... vrrrrroooomm.... heh, so I get to keep the RF calendar for myself! I have already hang it on my cubicle in office.

There are also plenty of presents from my friends. Just showing three of them here...

The beautiful tall tin can of cookies is from my "Secret Santa" in office gift exchange. I'm curious to find out who you are! Can drop me a comment if you are reading this?

The bottle of Burberry London is from my wife! Thanks dear, you always know what to get me and when I need it.

And finally, TWG Tea's Alfonso cotton teabags from KC-XTT. Great stuff! Thank you my dear friend! I will try to learn more from you about appreciating good tea. Well, being part of the office tea club is a good start right? More Turkish Tea for everyone on Monday! =)

Noticed the colour theme for this year's presents seem to be brown? Ha...

I also got other nice and cute presents from Sunshine-HY, Georgia, Stitchy-Sop and Jax. Thanks alot guys!

While Christmas is a good time to shower friends with presents, I guess the meaning of Christmas is much deeper than our material needs... Have a safe and peaceful holiday. Merry Christmas my dear friends!

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...
