Bye Bye World Cup, Bye Bye Zizou.

Of cuz we should be politically correct, and never condone violence. Especially, when it was an act from someone who is an idol and role model for millions around the world. However, we should all forgive him.

Such an 'idiocratic headbutt' does require an 'odious motivation'. The 'Battling Ram of France' had put Emile Heskey to shame! How many of us can say that we will not throw a punch, give a kick, let our body fluid fly, or even react in any way, given such a 'motivation' and under such intense stress to perform? The legend is only human. Players get away with foul words (unless they are words to the man in black - or rather yellow, and sometimes red, heh), but not with foul actions. And I guess action speaks louder than words (and also more obvious on replays). A wireless mic for every player on the field next time? Maybe.

Thank you Zizou for his courage to express his feelings, and entertainment he provided in his final hurrah. Why don't we condemm those foul words and forget 'bout the entertaining headbutt. Afterall, this is World Cup Final, where drama and showmanship are at the highest level on the world's greatest stage.

9 out of 10 shots (lucky for Trezeguet's miss, another 10 more shots I'd not be able to wake up for work on time!) ended behind the net, and nobody balloons the ball (remember the last time Baggio did that for Italy???), I am quite satisfied with the finale. We don't need a villain for headlines to make the ending any more dramatic. Let's move on to the new season of soccer!

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...
