Moodiness Loves Company.

Feeling a tiny bit moody today. I can't quite pinpoint the cause. I suspect its because I waited for the next train to get a seat, only to find myself standing again. The reason is simple, I naively stood behind the yellow box for the passengers to alight. Hah! Been a while since I last complained, don't mind I do abit of it... Yeah, people are mean. What's the rush? The train was at Jurong East Interchange, it wouldn't be going off so soon. Oh! I forgot - rush for seats. Luckily, not all are mean - a man guided a blind into the train. The funny thing is, I finally sat down, only to realise Northpoint was staring at me outside the windows - I reached my destination! Seriously, I can't be that petty. Perhaps there are other reasons for this moodiness.

Maybe the reason is not talking to anyone about the lil' things in my life. For example, talk about what I did at work, or talk about how my BP has fallen a little yesterday... Talk to colleagues you might say, no, I don't want to talk to them about themselves and work again. Not to mention that I don't think they interested. Yes, the person I talk to, my girlfriend, is away in HK for holidays. No one to listen to my big theories and criticism of life, propelled by my gigantic ego! All the things bottled up are making me moody! I felt much better when I scribbled my rants with my stylus - that was why I made a fool of myself my sitting, standing, and getting off within 5secs lah. I think I do need more friends, friends who I can spontaneously blabber about anything, and who will do the same to me, always just a sms or phone call away. Any candidates out there?

Things are getting quite routine. "Work->Eat->Sleep". Yeah, its boring that life is centered around work. And the only real motivation is money that comes with it. Money to make ends meet, money to finance the investments in the future. In fact, I hate to talk about money. Although you must have probably heard it from me talking about saving and paying the bills many times.

Whatever the reasons, key to happiness is a better appreciation of things I have. And the holidays next week will do me some good. Happy Deepavali and Hari Raya folks!

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...
