Touchdown in the City of Angels.

Five in-flight movies later, I finally touched down in LA.

Quantum of Solace - 2 outta 5. What is that show about again? ... that everyone Bond touches dies?
Australia - 4 outta 5. I like the theme of the show. The Walkabout, the Dreaming, reminded me of the secondary one Literature text.
Suspect X - 3.5 outta 5. I like the part when geniuses put their wits and logic against each other. The physicist vs the mathematician. And emotions can be used logically.
A Good Year - 4 outta 5. Two words, French Romance. I just love this sorta thing. hee hee.
Departures - 4 outta 5. Sorry dear, I watched it already. But I think they won't be showing it by the time I get back. Not sure if you should watch because you'll be crying like a fountain for sure. This movie unveiled the unique aspect of death in Japan.

SoCal is awakening from deep cold on the first day of Spring. The weather is just nice, minus the wind. First stop was Target, to get the necessities. I also got myself a mini indulgence. :-)


Btw, LA is 15 hours behind SG time (due to DST). So we gotta go get some dinner now. Hopefully, we'll get to check out some parts of LA before traveling to Palm Spring tomorrow.

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 ...
