Dear Friend's Birthday 2009.

It was a belated birthday dinner for XTT-KC aka my BBOF. :-)

Had a superb-super-mini-celebration on the actual day (Monday). Superb cuz we finally got to take a look at the present (which sat for almost four months in my wardrobe) and we ate delicious Swiss Bake chocolate truffle cake (which we didn't mind sharing the few extra pounds that came with it). But this dinner was also a great excuse for everyone to gather and enjoy the company - we certainly did.

The venue was Mykii at Holland Village.

This concept restaurant has some meaning tied to its name. It was the third Valentine's Day recommendation from HungryGoWhere that I tried. This one is good for birthdays as well. :-)

The restaurant has Greek-style deco. The white-washed walls and blue cushion reminded me of the white buildings of Santorini of the Greek Islands. And the food? Let's take a look at some of the food we ate...

The Birthday-Gurl had this, Seafood Linguine with laksa pesto (tossed with prawns, clams, fish cake and tofu puffs) - $15.80

There was also the Tamarind Glazed Chicken with glass noodle, green papaya and Asian herbs - $9.80

Pork Roasted Chicken with almond and olive pilaf - $14.80

BBQ Baby Back Ribs with roasted pumpkins and cabbage mash - $19.80

I tried the Deep Fried Goby Fish with sticky plum and ginger sauce. The sauce was fantastic, tho' the portion was kinda miserable. I was still hungry after that.

Colour Petite Pastries which we did not try. Maybe next time?

Besides the eating, they also started comparing the scratches on two iTouch... hmmm... wouldn't it be nice if they have non-camera iPhone for sale?

After dinner, we continued our evening at Wala Wala.

The Birthday-Gurl had Mojito!

Alcohol makes people do funny stuffs. =)




And I think I may be getting too old for drinks... ha ha. OLD. What a word that confronts us annually.

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...
