POLL - What is right?
The situation
A Chinese-speaking old man (imagine those uncles that sit at the coffee shops drinking beers and watching soccer) came to me with an iPhone 3GS brochure. He was unable to read the entire paper and needs translation. I read out everything, line by line, for him. He has no idea what an iPhone does, the difference between 8, 16 and 32GB, data usage and probably even how a 2-year...

Travel + Fashion = Dream Job →
Sharing similar passion with The Sartorialist, Jason created an awesome website with fashion compilations of people he met in New York. What I love about Citizen Couture is the web interface and awesome shots! I wonder how long it actually took him to establish a reputation in the fashion industry from scratch, being able to have fashion directors and stylists model for him.
If… buying a...

Heart Necklines
Even though my dream is to wear a Dior corseted gown for my wedding, I have to also consider the finances. What if I marry a poor bloke, you know.
I have stumbled upon this crazy wedding website recently and went nuts over it. Project Wedding, you have turned my boring lectures into minutes of daydreams. That said, I really wonder what necklines will fit me. Not that I have freaking flat boobs,...

“No one knows why, but her cells never died… It turned out that HeLa cells could float on dust particles in the air and travel on unwashed hands and contaminate other cultures. It became an enormous controversy.”

Rising Tensions
Google has threatened to shut down google.cn?! In the name of freedom, the matter has inevitably turn into a feud between two big nations. Why should Google insist their stance through and provoke the governance of a foreign country? Let them do what they want.
Would a threat like this scare the Chinese government? They are stronger and bigger than you think. Here you are, using the veil of...

Yeah, tape me up!
I know, the whole world is crazy over Herve Leger right now. First the celebrities, now every girl in town, ever since the trend hits many fashion chain stores. I wanted to feed my long overdue desire from H&M during the summer initially, but it was so hard searching for my damn size. Eeks!
Seriously, not everyone fits into Herve Leger dresses. I don’t know why some celebrities think so...

Love is in the air.
Yes it is! At least, that’s what Air New Zealand is trying to achieve - speed dating in their long-haul flights! I know I found this out a bit late. Air NZ has already flown their first matchmaking flight from Los Angeles to Auckland on October 13. They even had pre-departure cocktail party and dances right at the gates!

Hot flushes
Style.com may be my favorite fashion encyclopedia but how often do we spot breathtaking pieces from Fashion Week? Apart from Christian Dior (only their Haute Couture collection though), I have no undying love for any brands. In maintaining their brand image at their level of sophistication, creative work seemed to have clogged up high fashion. Advertisements, web designs, organizational culture,...

Pavlov's dogs
“You never understand the present until it is past.”
An incident earlier today have gave me a strong revelation in learned behaviors (remember Pavlov’s dogs and learning theory?) Whatever we learnt, observed and experienced when we were young would determine how we behave now. It is not innate but learned.
Here’s an example. A very mild one.
I used to hold my utensils,...

Unfairness
This world is filled with so much sadness, anxiety and hopelessness. Once, I heard my pastor preaching that the most depressing thing on Earth is not when things are hopeless, but when one give up hope. The wait to hear a good or bad news, the negative thoughts that saturate our brains preventing positivities to come up, the fear that is ripping our hearts off before the truth is revealed is...
Cyber Crime
For every creative innovation or idea that a man has invented, there will always bound to be negative consequences because of the perverted nature in us, the seed of sin from birth. The Internet, sadly, has been circumvented by cyber criminals in many different ways because of its powerful impacts it can bring. Both physical and virtual worlds are being dominated by thieves that fears never fail...
Commitment
Is an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action
How much are you willing to commit? How long are you willing to wait? What does the whole issue means to you?
Another Hope
For the first time in my life, I want something so badly and have done something beyond my imagination. I hope he will see this big responsibility that I have in exchange for his trust and understanding.
Courage
That’s what I need. Fears must be cast out right now.
