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...

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...
