Dreaming About You.

I usually leave my handphone on during the night (just in case if anyone want to contact me urgently, eg. a friend in need of help etc). But I think I will be leaving my phone off from now on. Why?

In the wee hours this morning, I received three continuous sms. I forced myself outta bed to read the message, thinking it must be something very important. I surprised to read that they were messages from "
Dreamchat", telling me that "someone is dreaming of me". Oh great! What a good reason to wake me up! It also asked me to call this 1900 number to listen to the message. There was even a member id at the end... So someone still wide awake in the middle of the night decided to use this wonderful service to let me know he/she is dreaming of me leh. wah seh. I immediately deleted the messages and went back to sleep. Knowing I will just have a few more hours of my six hours daily sleep time left.

How did this "Dreamchat" thingy got my handphone number? Is it the mobile service provider (the green one!) or some random survey on the streets that sold my particulars? Or is it the banks? Or is it my lucky day, they had randomly dialed a number and got mine? Maybe I shall buy 4D or ToTo this week leh. So lucky.

I wouldn't be surprised that teens who received these messages will be overcome by their curiousity and called back to check the messages. Probably some girl/guy on the other end will say that they are bored and if you want to know them more, leave them a message at some number as well. That's how the bills go up to thousand of dollars. There oughta be some kinda filtering for such sms spamming, especially in the middle of the night.

Sorry my friends, I am unable to be there for you at night if you need me as I can't afford to be disturbed by these sms spamming at night, I really need all the sleep I can get. But please, don't get mad at me, continue to
dream about me okay? heh heh.

well...how about try to switch ur hp msg to silent and still leave it on...if ur friends are looking for u urgently they'll prob call and not msg....

as for those bo liao msgs...simply ignore them...i guess there's a lot of ways for them to obtain ur number...thru surveys also possible...at most they'll just msg and not call right? (i think...)

well, i usually use my phone as alarm clock, so i can off it but not switch it to silent. hehe.

mabe i can custom set msg notification mode off. good idea!

but wldn't someone who is in need of a listening ear etc, msg first, afraid of waking u up. i duno la. it sound abit redundant haha.

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
