New Gimmick.

The main objective of advertisement is to grab the viewers' attention. Yesterday I saw one on the train that certainly grabbed my attention. When the train stopped at Orchard MRT, a bunch of guys wearing white tee with a big blue alphabet on each of their backs (like those on the yellowpages advertisement) boarded the train. At first I thought they probably just got off work from some advertisement gimmick in Orchard. And must be from HP as well, cuz I saw a "H" and "P" side by side. Then I saw them standing in a row and the alphabets on their backs made up a word "HYPE", as you can see in the picture below (eh ... can't quite see the 'E'),

I realised the actual place of their 'act' was the train cabin itself. It made me pay attention to the small print url below the collarline of their tee "http://www.hypegallery.com". Their gimmick worked very well, cuz when I got home I checked out their website. It turns out Hyper Gallery is a collection of Hype art inspired by youths from around the world. The project was first funded by HP in 2003. That explains the "HP" I saw when they first got on the train, and the blue and white colour scheme of the tee.

It is definitely cheaper and more effective gimmick than the moo media thingy.

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

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?
