Life is amazing

2011-04-04T16:14:00.002+08:00

baby denise has "taught" me that life is amazing... the 40 weeks of pregnancy is such a long process...from the first sign of pregnancy to hearing the heart beat of baby to determining the gender of the baby to seeing the spinal cord of baby to the limbs of baby are developed to feeling the baby's movement...to the time when the weight of the baby can be determined to the time when the baby's head is engaged...till finally the baby is delivered... a human life within another human life is simply amazing....

New phase of life

Last day of 2010

2010-12-31T13:19:00.002+08:00

Time really flies very fast for the year of 2010...

What have i achieved over the past year?

Hmm...i finally got my driving licence...which i think is my biggest achievement of the year...

Next year, W and I will be embarking on a new journey of our lives...and that's a lifetime commitment and responsibility that both of us have no experience in...We hope to be able to learn as we grow and give her the best that we can...

2011, here we come!

End of 2010

2010-12-29T12:20:00.003+08:00

It's been a busy year this 2010...no off-peak period at all...we used to be able to 'enjoy' a bit in May-Jun, and Nov-Dec but it didn't happen...wonder what's wrong...anyway...it's over...

Finally, it's a off-work week for me to relax and do housework...haha...and prepare for the new year... :)

Project D

2010-12-20T21:25:00.002+08:00

Have been super busy these few months being involved in some ways or another in Project D...and these few weeks have been super intensive...spending more than 12 hours each day in the office...but i'm considered very lucky as i'm spared coming back on weekends due to my 'special' condition now...so i can't complain too much compared to my colleagues...

Glad that it's finally coming to an end...23 Dec 12 noon to be exact...

Now, still in office waiting...

Long weekend

2010-09-12T15:30:00.002+08:00

this is a long awaited long weekend...after this, it's gonna be a few hectic work weeks ahead till the end of Oct...

On fri, we invited a few frens who were all previously from PW over for a reunion...all 3 of them are mothers except me...it was a fun but short gathering...luckily the husbands were around such that they could take care of the kids while the women talk...haha...

On sat, had a craving for bbq stingray n kung bao frog legs...so asked W to go AMK hawker to eat...however, to my dismay, the frog legs stall has moved...quite disappointed not to be able to satisfy my craving...

Today is a day for doing nothing...haha...

Slow down

2010-08-16T20:10:00.002+08:00

sometimes i think i walk too fast (i know someone doesn't think so :p) and eat too fast...

now, i'm trying to slow down myself a bit...esp on walking...

买东西，吃东西part 1

2010-07-04T14:50:00.009+08:00

First time to Macau and i feel Macau is quite an easy place to walk walk...after checking into the hotel, we headed to the Margaret de nata cafe to taste the famous Portuguese egg tarts...quite easy to reach after asking around...from there we made our way to Senado Square annd then after walking for a while, we were like, are we here already? Cos the wavy floor looks like it's Senado Sq and then we realised we are there! Didnt know the distance is actually really that short...just continue to walk from there and we reached Ruins of St Pauls...ha...didnt know it's so near...

Tried the Wong Chi Kei restuarant...which is one of the famous Cantonese restuarant here...hmm...ok, the fried wanton is special but the crispness didnt quite last...the wanton mee and fried rice are just ok-ok...

We tried looking for the 义顺牛奶公司for the 双皮炖奶but couldnt find until we asked around...it's nice! We ordered the cold one even though i think the hot one shd be better...but the weather was so scorching that i couldnt have the hot one...ha...

Then we walked around...from one hotel to another...

We tried our luck at Sands but no luck...haha...then we went over to the Macau Fisherman's Wharf...W was saying, why are we going to the Fisherman's Wharf, it's like didnt we go to the one in Taipei? Until he saw the Spain 斗牛场settings then he was quite excited...haha...

Then we went to Sands to take the shuttlebus to Venetian...people was saying shd stay there for at least 1 night...hmm...we thought about that but since it's the first time we go to Macau, and we are only there for 1 day, we will be venturing around...if we were to stay at Venetian, we probably wont even want to step out...haha...we agreed, if we were to go back to Macau again, yes, we will stay at the Venetian! :p

Crazy for food...

2010-06-07T19:51:00.005+08:00

very impressed by the curry chicken (spicy!) and braised pork rice (that melts in our mouth!) with jap rice and jap egg @ bakerzin...

yummy! :)

Not impressed

2010-06-07T19:31:00.005+08:00

Went to the Helix bridge and Marina Bay Sands last Sat...but wasn't too impressed...

Helix bridge - hmm, it doesn't seem very grand or magnificent...not sure if it's because we went there in the afternoon and we were distracted by the heat? But i dun think so...

Marina Bay Sands - hmm...maybe the construction hasn't 100% completed...maybe it's due to the influx of those foreigners that are 'attracted' by the casino...it makes me wonder...the hotel seems to be 'downgraded' by the casino...

为什么会生气?

2010-04-23T23:11:00.001+08:00

人家气我我不气，我若是气时中他计...
谈何容易?
忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空?
代表着应该忍气吞声?

是不是越在乎就越生气?

其实，有时候失望的感觉多过生气...
是不是有希望才会失望?
是不是越在乎就越失望?

是不是有一天不会生气或失望时，就是对那个人或那件事毫不在乎了呢?

17 Apr 2010 – 好日子!

2010-04-19T21:32:00.000+08:00

A few significant events happened on last Sat 17Apr2010…

1. S.H.E and Mayday held their concerts in Spore next to each other at Indoor Stadium and National Stadium respectively…

2. Circle Line stage 1 & 2 opened on the same day…inviting a big crowd to the Stadium station…

3. The end of HH’s singlehood days… :p

Blissful Marriage

2010-04-19T21:31:00.001+08:00

Attended a mandarin speaking church wedding on Sat…this is the 2nd time I attended a church wedding…hmm…the first time was at SAM but not very sure whether it’s a church or not…

In the midst of the ceremony, the pastor was reciting how a successful marriage can be worked out…roughly remember he mentioned the importance of 包容, about the loss of keys, how the husband didn’t scold the wife but used another way to end the episode…I think, regardless how long a couple has been married, there’s always something to learn on the way…same for W and I…

Congrats to HH and GM…have a blissful marriage…早生贵子…

P/S: the feather pen left me a very deep impression :p

岁月不饶人

2010-03-22T20:09:00.001+08:00

Had tori rice for lunch…made me think of PP…remember the time when we walked to paragon to buy this coupled w a cup of ah-mei kopi…

How time flies…we were still single that time…and now she is ‘upgraded’ to wife-cum-mother liao…

沒那麼簡單

2010-03-18T21:26:00.004+08:00

黃小琥-沒那麼簡單

没那么简单就能找到聊得来的伴
尤其是在看过了那么多的背叛
总是不安只好强悍
谁谋杀了我的浪漫

没那么简单就能去爱别的全不看
变得实际也许好也许坏各一半
不爱孤单一久也习惯
不用担心谁也不用被谁管

感觉快乐就忙东忙西感觉累了就放空自己
别人说的话随便听一听
自己作决定
不想拥有太多情绪一杯红酒配电影
在周末晚上关上了手机
舒服窝在沙发里

相爱没有那么容易每个人有他的脾气
过了爱作梦的年纪轰轰烈烈不如平静
幸福没有那么容易才会特别让人着迷
什么都不懂的年纪曾经最掏心所以最开心曾经

想念最伤心
但却最动心的记忆
==========================
好听！

Something wrong? me or she?

2010-03-18T21:16:00.001+08:00

I wonder if there’s something wrong with my eyes…or my memory…recently have been very busy at work…knocked off 920pm, 730pm, 8pm respectively for the past 3 days…not enough quality rest…so I also dunno if what I see is the same as my memory…

First, on Wed, she wore the same dress that she wore last Friday, which is 3 working days ago…

Second, today, she wore the same cardigan that she wore only on Monday, which is 3 working days ago (out of coincidence?)

I was quite stunned when I saw her this morning in that top…is she trying to test my memory or is her memory fading…or she doesn’t wash her clothes frequently…I dunno la…

HY thinks I observe her too much…ha…no lor…who cares about her…just that I happen to notice…and that some clothes are very obvious…for eg., that dress, it’s too noticeable…anyway…maybe it’s her style to repeat her clothes so frequently…which is totally not my style…if it’s like a black normal skirt, I guess it won’t be so obvious as compared to a flowery skirt…

呼吸　我需要多一點空氣
思念幾乎讓人窒息　沉溺漆黑無聲的海底

觉得以上歌词正形容我此刻的心情...

restraints..

2010-03-14T17:23:00.001+08:00

Time passes too fast everyday..not much energy left each day to reflect on what has happened..or dun even have time to stop and think is this what u like doing everyday or is there something else that u would love to do?

Always feel that weekends is too short..dun want to wake up too late on weekends so that I have more time to so what I want or have more time to spend with loved ones...but the tiredness over the working week always leave with not much energy left
.sometimes I wonder what's wrong..is it just me or is other people like this as well..

Life is always restrained by not enough time or energy or is it ourselves who are restraining ourselves?

budgets

Hope budget can get over faster..but is it easy to endure the pain during the period?

痞子英雄真是一部非常好看的一部戏，喜欢里面的各个人物，故事非常紧凑，让人无法不一直追着看...

尤其喜欢"跟他们买了这么多的抢，连子弹也不送"

1st movie of 2010

2010-02-09T12:58:00.001+08:00

Went to watch 14 Blades with the unwilling W…who doesn’t share the same 715 passion as me…but anyway, he went and then “joined” forces with my bro to make fun cum criticize my 715…

Basically, other than 715, I also want to see how Wu Zun “dressed” up like Jack Sparrow and also action film 票房保证Donnie Yen…

I quite like the match of Donnie and Zhao Wei…and I esp like the part where Zhao Wei was forced to impersonate 青龙…锦衣卫是一条有进没有出的一条路, 锦衣卫是为了尊严而战…

But I don’t understand why 玄武(715), supposedly the 2nd in 锦衣卫, can just “die” so fast under 青龙’s sword…hmm…

Complaints

2010-02-01T21:06:00.001+08:00

sometimes I wonder why do people complain to people like us who are just following our bosses’ instructions to send out certain things?

Yes, when I sent out instruction A, it was meant to be just instruction A…however, if later my boss asked me to send out B to add on to instruction A, it’s not because I have nothing better to do or I forgot to send out B…and it’s definitely not because I want to add in B…but I would get sarcastic remarks in return, such as, u confirm it’s just B that u want, make up your mind what u want…dun say u want C later on…u all can get from the monthly report…

Some people can just complain the same thing every month…if it’s really so unbearable, then quit la…why complain to us as if it’s our fault…I dare u to complain to your boss…tell her la…why tell us when we can’t help at all? Ask ur boss to get extra help for you la…if u think u have a lot of depts to do, what abt us who are doing the group – be it group accounts or group analysis? Without 1 submission, it’s not the group numbers…when we do analysis, we also need to look at individual companies…then when u all couldn’t meet the deadline, who’s the one who has to bear it? we are the ones…cos we are at the last stage where we have to give to CFO, CEO to review and their deadline is fixed…who says our life is easy? U can only see yourself work late, but can’t see other people working late as well…one colleague said, yes when u work late is because u have too much to do, when we work late, it’s because we are inefficient…

New Lifestyle

2010-01-22T20:59:00.001+08:00

The recent most asked questions are, how’s your new lifestyle or how’s your married life?

Well…the main changes are,

1. I’m living in the east now…going to work is just 4 mrt stops, compared to 14 stops previously…I can sleep more in the morning, and I can reach home earlier after work and catch more tv :p

2. My dinner “kakis” are different…if we do not have other appointments, then we will have dinner with MIL and sometimes his brother…

3. We are living on our own…nice feeling but quite a lot of things to do at home…and we got to do them ourselves…cannot “wait” for others to do… :p

4. the distance between house and mrt station has increased…hence the walking increased…then if I’m lazy then I will take bus which is additional expense to me cos it’s SBS buses here…and everyday has to use the overhead bridge at least once…which I dun like since young…

5. used to be able to pop into the shopping mall beside the mrt station and do some shopping or “walk-about” easily…but now, there is no mall here…quite boring…but maybe can save more $...

Overall, I think the changes in my life are still new and exciting in a way... :)

Some quotes

2010-01-06T22:58:00.001+08:00

~ A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person ~
~ The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together ~
~ A good marriage is at least 80% good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust ~
~ An ideal wife is any woman who has an ideal husband ~

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up

Happy new year

烦

2009-12-02T13:11:00.002+08:00

最近比较烦，真的很烦...
做什么事都觉得好像是错的...
真的很想好好睡一觉，然后什么事情都不需要管，不需要做，那就不需要愁...

是我想太多，还是想的不够多？

Spore F1

2009-09-18T23:25:00.002+08:00

On Wed, I went to buy a bag…and when I was paying for it, I asked the salesgirl whether there is any discount…she said no…but after that, I saw this notice that they put up…if the customer can name one F1 driver and his team, then the customer can get 10% off…so I asked if that’s valid…it was only then that she said yes…maybe she thought I’m a girl so won’t know abt F1…

I said Lewis Hamilton, McLaren…she checked against her list and said not correct…hmm…it’s weird but nevermind…I said Jensen Button, Brawn and she said correct…and then asked me to fill up their form…so I got 10% off…and if the driver I name wins the Spore race, I get a chance to win a $10 voucher…

Haha…now thinking back, I think the chance of Jensen Button wining the race is much higher than Lewis Hamilton… ;p but anyway…

W – dun be angry hor…hehe :p cos Lewis Hamilton is his fav driver...ha :p

Story Of My Pet "HAPPY"

2009-09-06T21:24:00.003+08:00

W forwarded me this email and i find it very meaningful...thus sharing the story here...and THIS IS HOW the STORY BEGINs~

我要快乐
在心里，我养了一只叫快乐的恐龙
它好大好大它无所不在
每一天，我都会找快乐玩一玩抱一抱它亲一亲它
白天和它玩捉迷藏
晚上就和快乐睡在一起
有时候，我会抢在快乐的前面享受生命
但心情不好时，我可能连快乐的尾巴都抓不住
我喜欢快乐唱唱歌
也喜欢快乐跳跳舞
我更喜欢快乐自由自在地飞翔
我最怕快乐不快乐闹别扭躲起来
说也奇怪，如果我生气，快乐就会肚子痛
如果我胡思乱想，快乐就会变得好小好小
如果我哭了，快乐也会不见了
所以我每天都要保持好心情
不胡思乱想
常常微笑
这样我就可以随时随地，看得到快乐
享受快乐
偶尔我会和家人一起拥有快乐
和朋友一起分享快乐
其实快乐的相反应该还是快乐
真正的快乐就是活在当下
简简单单地呼吸
轻轻松松地生活
身体保持健健康康
心灵保持舒舒服服
真正的快乐就是找到自己
做自己的主人爱自己也爱别人
自己发光也照亮宇宙
我真的希望每个人都能拥有快乐
每个人都能在自己的心里养一只叫快乐的恐龙
抱一抱它亲一亲它
我希望快乐每天都能孵出更多更多的快乐
快乐永远不要在地球上绝迹
快乐永远活在我的心里
我永远永远要快乐

拍照日记

2009-08-25T21:23:00.000+08:00

Took half day on 6 Aug to do my nails…compliments of HY…

* the process started at abt 125pm…first on my finger nails…the manicurist did the usual filing, trimming of nails before she proceeded with the nail extension…it is an amazing yet a tedious process…to see how the manicurist transforms powder into nails…
* after she is done with the extension, we proceeded to the area to do the pedicure together with the completion of my finger nails…after a brief discussion on what we think will look nice on my finger nails, she proceeded with the nail art…same for the pedicurist who also proceeded with her makings of my toe nails…
* I walked out of the salon at about 450pm…fully satisfied with what the manicurist and pedicurist did on my nails…particularly my finger nails…they caught the attention of many…however, at the same time, they caused quite a bit of inconvenience to me esp on SMS, removing of contact lens, etc…but it is certainly worth it :)

On 7 Aug, the day of our photo shoots,
* arrived at the studio at 955am and there was another couple inside whose schedule was 9am…our make-up artist Apple, arrived shortly and started my make-up while W took his mac breakfast + milo…
* 1st set of costume – the chinese kua…the reason for the Chinese kua to go first is that normally in the beginning, we will be more tense so we go with the fewer number of photographs first…then when it’s our wedding gown’s turn, we will be relax and will be more natural…
* while the 1st couple was taking their shoots, we were still in the midst of our ‘transformation’…and when it was our turn…we saw Sam, our photographer, coming up…our impression of Sam had always been quite stern and very unfriendly…but when we got to know him, he’s like a different person…he’s funny and a bit crap…which is certainly necessary for us and others to relax so as to take better pictures…both W and I thought that Sam looks a bit like the HongKong actor 马德中…haha…
* 2nd set – an evening gown which is very different from the rest of my gowns…which I think is not bad in terms of color and design… ;p
* 3rd set – our actual day evening gown – which is my favorite of all 5 sets…I like the hairdo that Apple did for me…made me look very sweet… :p
* 4th set – our wedding gown…and in Apple’s good hands, I was ‘transformed’ into a princess…which I like very very much…and the different hand bouquets provided for the photo shoots were very fresh and beautiful…3 different bouquets (pink roses, ivory roses and tulips) for this set of costume…
* finally the 5th set – the outdoor set…and off we went to Changi…first to Changi SAF there for the lallang field…and honestly, we didn’t know what Sam was trying to take until we saw the photos…amazing…haha…second to Changi Broadwalk…where W saw his fren there taking wedding photo shoots too :p the most pity thing was that there was no sunset as it was quite hazy…and the 3 of us actually got bitten by ants :(
* when we returned to the studio, it was like 7+pm and we were tired…after changing out, we went to have dinner @ crystal jade and ended our tiring yet fun day… :)

做什么的？

2009-08-21T21:00:00.000+08:00

有日在购物中心闲逛，有位市场调查员
问我：你一年收入多少？
我答：六百万美金！
他说：哇！一个月不是五十万！
我答：这只是底薪，另外还有抽佣和六个月的年终花红！
他说：真羡慕你，你是做什么的？
我答：我是做梦的！

哈哈哈哈哈哈!

Expensive lunch

2009-08-18T20:46:00.000+08:00

My fren A told me that her fren B made a comment via msn as follows,

B: so your wedding lunch can be considered a Christmas lunch gathering…but an expensive lunch wor…
A: (speechless) but replied haha…

A told me that she told another fren, C, abt this and C asked her to reply “at least it’s only once!”

A was very hurt when B said that as B didn’t realize that A had attended B’s wedding dinner for 2 times!! Even if A had not attended any of B’s wedding lunch or dinner, she shouldn’t have said that…

I think one should really think before saying anything…esp sensitive things like this…and when it means so much to the other party...

不吐不快

2009-07-10T23:02:00.000+08:00

Sometimes people can only see how miserable they are or think they work super hard cos they work till very late everyday…

Yesterday during lunch, dunno who brought up the topic of ECA in the company…this new colleague said she kenna the family day committee…so 1 of them pointed at 3 of us who joined for 1yr+ or less and commented we very lucky cos we no ECA…upon hearing that, I was quite pissed off…does it mean that we have to ‘publicize’ our ECA to everyone?? And it happens that 2 of 3 of us have ECA lor…Or is it our ECA is not that prominent, so to them it’s not ECA? Anyway, what ECA u kenna is mainly depending on your luck and which section of the dept u r in…

I thought of the other morning when I bumped into the one who said we no ECA…she asked if I received a lot of smses for that “big thing” that happened last night…I said no cos I not in that team…she commented that why am I not in the team…I said, why must I be in the team?? She said most of us in the dept are under the team and the other colleague of my section is also part of the team…I can simply say “orh”…what I feel like telling her is that, there’s already someone in our section part of the team, if it’s not me then I’m lucky…but what abt the someone of our section? Ya, she’s in the team, but so far in 1yr, she has not been ‘activated’ at all…so does it make her lucky as well?? I just wonder why is it that some people are so superficial…can only see themselves being in the limelight or just want to highlight their unlucky situation?

Some people always complain how late they have to work…but if u turn around and see, who is the one that has already gone for 3 holidays in half a year? The same person!! Ya, u work very late, but once u finish ur stuff, u can go for holidays…us? Our responsibilities are different and not that flexible…so dun always complain how ‘impt’ u are and how much stuff u r doing…this reminds me of another time when this same person complained during lunch, and 1 of the colleagues ‘shoot’ her back by saying, “ya, u all business partners very busy, we group ones very free”…haha…anyway, this kind of people, will complain regardless of where they are…

小怨气伤感情

从昨天的我报读到这则"小怨气伤感情"...读了，非常赞同，尤其下来的两句...

"不喜欢就说出来，不开心就坦白讲，良好的沟通模式才是爱情的基础"
"了解对方的想法是关键，却不容易做到"

Vitamin C

2009-06-30T21:13:00.000+08:00

Due to H1N1, our company gave each of us 1 bottle of vitamin C to build up our immunity...good, rt? even though i'm already taking vitamin C every morning... :)

夫妻相

2009-06-30T21:12:00.001+08:00

W and I took half day last Friday…to have a good lunch and run some errands…in the end, we went hog’s breath and W took steak…I thought the steak would be nice cos I heard some good reviews even though I dun eat…but W thinks it’s not fantastic…

Bumped into 4 of my colleagues there…and they were very funny to say they are ‘lightbulbs’…haha…but I said, they were there first, not us… :p their comments abt steak are good leh…I wonder what’s wrong…is W too particular in his taste? :p

My colleagues were thinking whether we are siblings or couple as we look alike…and their conclusion is couple and we have 夫妻相…haha :p

Nice sunset

2009-06-26T23:06:00.001+08:00

Pls at least acknowledge

2009-06-16T19:40:00.004+08:00

The thing abt giving up seats on the mrt or bus...to me, i will give up my seats to pregnant woman, elders, and people carrying children on their arms but not kids...so far, the people that i gave up my seats to, will say thanks or at least smile to me...

However, this evening on the way home, i gave up my seat to a pregnant woman after just sitting for 2 stations...she didn't even smile or thank me...so i wonder, is it really my obligation to give up my seat to her? i'm also tired after working the whole day, i'm wearing heels and my bag is not really light...but i still gave up my seat to her...she shd at least smile to acknowledge my action (not that i didn't smile to her - i did!)...

Just want to say, everyone has a right to the seat, give people the due respect when they gave up their seats to you because you need or seem to need the seat more than them...

Courts

2009-06-13T20:12:00.002+08:00

Went to Courts today to check out...

TV, fridge, washing machine, fan, dining table, sofa set, tv console, bedroom suite, mattress...

was quite tired but at least now i have an idea what are things that we need...really a lot...haha...

Over so soon

2009-06-09T20:40:00.003+08:00

2 days of leave just over like that...

but i'm glad i accomplished the things that i wanted to do... :)

Weekday afternoon

2009-06-09T09:15:00.002+08:00

Walking down the streets of Orchard on a weekday afternoon with no time constraints, no pressure is simply relaxing and cool...i can just walk and stop wherever i want...but the weather is very hot...

It's also been a long time since i last took my fav bus 190...and went to meet up with 2 ex-colleagues for lunch...missed the times when we were still colleagues...

Something perplexing is...there are a lot of people same as me, a lot of people on the bus...on my journey there - quite a lot of people were standing but i was lucky to get a seat...on my way back, no seat for me leh...haha...

Off from the cubicle

2009-06-08T09:43:00.002+08:00

On leave today and tomorrow...1st leave taken in 2009...at first had a lot of plans for this jun holidays...but all didnt turn out as what i had in mind...so in the end, just take these 2 days off from the cubicle and do whatever i want to do...

today's weather is gonna be good! :)

蔡依林 - 妥協

2009-05-05T22:04:00.002+08:00

作词: Wonderful 作曲: 阿沁 (FIR)/Real Band

你总爱编织谎言我负责配合表演
所有改变只为了进入你的世界
这情节重复了一百遍
才发现是你的心太野

你划定楚河汉界我不能轻易犯规
所有时间都是先给了你优先权
不自觉爱到不敢冒险
成了你的傀儡一年两年
才看见我有多狼狈

爱到妥协到头来还是无解绑着你不让你飞
历史不断重演我好累
爱到妥协也无法将故事再重写
你已下最后通牒我躲在我的世界

你只是害怕一个人睡我不想再为你掉泪
我了解不会变不再徘徊开始自己的明天
=======================================
听了很有feel的一首歌...
爱到妥协，真的很可悲...

on a happier note, 喜欢mtv里的阮经天... 和蔡依林还蛮配的... :)

Lesson 9

2009-04-26T15:48:00.001+08:00

Today went to register for the practical test...and it's the first time I drove from CCK to Ubi...ooh...ok, not a bad experience after all...will have more chances coming up...

Now the goal has been set, I will work hard towards it...cheers...

吵架是为了走更长远的路?

2009-04-06T21:11:00.001+08:00

两个人在一起，难免会有意见不和，闹别扭，心情不好的时候...所以，吵架其实应该算是家常便饭...

吵架，可以让彼此更了解对方，增进感情，但是，吵太多会伤了和气，也伤了感情...

吵架时，要记得，不要太执著，学着让一步，不要咄咄逼人...不要在对方已经在努力着的时候，还在另一边坚持己见...

有时候，换个方式对待对方，其实可以让争执减少，快乐加倍...因为事事都有两面...

比如，A因为要赶一些临时的工作而让B等了很久，
1) 如果B一直打电话给A催他，然后，就在电话的另一端，骂起A …这样一来，还在赶着工作的A，一方面，放工前收到临时的工作，不得不做，已经很不好受了，另一方面，有得不到B的谅解，还在另一边，给他施加压力，搞不好，还会连工作也做不好...等到见了面，就会是黑脸对黑脸，气氛变得很疆，那接下来的晚餐或任何活动，都不会进行地很愉快，整个晚上的气氛都被破坏了...就算后来和好了，心里还是会有阴影，因为心情已经被破坏了...但是如果没有和好，接下来的几天，可能还会继续地吵...两个人的心情都会很糟糕...最极端的，可能还会因此分手...

2) 与其一直打电话给A催他，试着多一份耐心等着，到处走走，或找个地方坐下来等...当A到达时，露出开心的笑容，迎接A，那A也会多了一份内疚，和感激B对他的宽容及耐心...那接下来的晚餐或任何活动，都会进行地很愉快...可能你会认为，那B不会很委屈吗? 可是如果爱着对方，受一点委屈或吃一点亏又算什么呢?　可是，A如果每一次都这样，那就不能怪B的不谅解了...

总的来说，适当的争执或吵架，是为了走更长远的路，但是，要适可而止，千万别让小小的争执或吵架一发不可收拾...

Off we go to the……ZOO!

2009-04-03T22:50:00.009+08:00

W and I went to the Zoo on Sat…It’s been a long long time since we both last went although both of us couldn’t remember when was our last time…hehe…

We spent about 4+ hours there…the weather was a bit hot but still bearable…overall, it was a very fun and enjoyable trip…like walking down the memory lane…it’s really pleasant to take a walk in the nature once in a while…

We were just a bit puzzled why are there 3 white tigers in the zoo but no normal tigers?

Silver Stars

2009-03-25T21:19:00.002+08:00

Attended my company’s charity event – Silver Stars yesterday…

The reasons that attracted me there are:-
~ tickets are free (but were only offered yesterday – last min and 1 staff max 2tickets)
~ it’s a combination of Broadway Beng! and Dim Sum Dollies

Have been wanting to watch Broadway Beng! after hearing many good reviews of it…but because I’m not a dialect person (I dun understand when songs are sang in Hokkien unless the songs are sang in a slow pace)…spoken hokkien half-half ba… ;p

Other than Broadway Beng! and Dim Sum Dollies, there is also another accapella group “Vocaluptuous” but I enjoyed Broadway Beng! the most…Sebestian Tan is really funny…

Lesson 4

2009-03-22T16:37:00.002+08:00

Lesson 4:
~ learnt more abt U-turn:-u-turn @ traffic lights...u-turn and stop at the middle to wait for cars to pass before continuing with the turn...
~ moving off from slope...engine stalled once cos @ "biting point" , i haven't released the handbrake then released the clutch further...
~ i dun really know how to control the steering wheel...sometimes, i just went off the lane unknowingly...the instructor said, with further practice, i should be able to control the steering wheel better...
ok, looking forward to be more steady the next time i drive...

命中注定我爱你

2009-03-16T20:23:00.001+08:00

Watched abt half of the "命中注定我爱你"...and was thinking, how’s the ending…? But think shd be a happy ending for 纪存希and 陈欣仪...

This drama is really funny and some parts very real…no wonder it had a very high viewership when screened in Taiwan…I like the combination of 阮经天and 陈乔恩...also quite like 陈楚河 (Dylan 神父) but I dun like 白歆惠 :p

Am wondering, is there really such a thing called 命中注定?

Lesson 3

2009-03-16T20:14:00.000+08:00

Lesson 3:
~ drove from Jurong East mrt station to Tuas…saw the new Joo Koon Mrt station…
~ learnt how to start off from a slope without rolling backwards (roll backwards less than 1m, deduct 2pts, roll backwards more than 1m, immediate failure)…the crucial thing is the biting point…and when it’s ok to release the handbrake without rolling backwards…
~ engine stalled 3 times…I admit I was a bit gan cheong at some points…plus, I took cold medicine before the lesson…so I wasn’t too alert…the instructor said, maybe my legs are too tired…and so I let go of the accelerator at the same time I let go of the clutch…shd be 1 up, 1 down…
~ well, I guess my legs were quite tired as I felt the tiredness at night…after driving for more than 1 hour…and for a beginner like me… :p
~ ok, things are getting harder…and I shall work harder…to learn all the things…

企鹅宝贝 2

2009-03-12T21:16:00.004+08:00

I wrote 企鹅宝贝 in Aug 2007 before I know W...and JY commented that I can keep a virtual penguin pet...

Seems like my wish is now fulfilled...and it's from W :)

But I dun think I've ever mentioned to W that penguins are my favourite :p

不要说话

2009-03-08T14:42:00.005+08:00

深色的海面铺满白色的月光我出神望著海心不知飞哪去
听到他在告诉你说他真的喜欢你我不知该躲哪里

爱一个人是不是应该有默契我以为你懂得每当我看著你
我藏起来的秘密在每一天清晨里暖成咖啡安静的拿给你

愿意用一支黑色的铅笔画一出沉默舞台剧
灯光再亮也抱住你

愿意在角落唱沙哑的歌再大声也都是给你
请用心听不要说话 (请原谅我不会说话) (爱是用心吗不要说话)
==============================================================
最近，超喜欢这首歌...反复的重复着，觉得非常好听...
喜欢也很赞同他的：“请用心听不要说话”和“爱是用心吗不要说话”...
两个人在一起，应该就有默契，很多时候，也都尽在不言中吧！

Lesson 2

2009-03-08T14:03:00.003+08:00

Attended my 2nd lesson yesterday morning...learned turning, stopping by the road side, how to control the steering wheel in the correct direction, U-turn and driving on the main road with traffic...

Hope things will continue to be fine and looking forward to lesson 3 next week :)

Very simple

2009-03-03T08:15:00.000+08:00

看到他, 我笑得很开心...
看到他因为看到我而开心的笑, 我更加开心... :D

幸福, 其实真的可以很简单...

Coffee anyone?

2009-03-01T21:23:00.006+08:00

Met up with a fren cum ex-colleague - JN this afternoon for a cup of coffee...JN left the company like 8mths before me...and I'm glad that we still keep in touch...

Out of a coincidence, both of us feel that although we learn new things in our current respective company, we still feel that it's nothing compared to what we have learnt in our ex-company...and the sense of satisfaction that we used to experience there is since lost...

So, she popped 1 question, will you want to go back there and work? I think both of us felt that when we tendered, we already reached a point whereby we were too tired to stay any longer there...my answer to her question is, unless things can change, I don't think I'll want to go back...

It's nice catching up with frens...after my busy work schedule, I do hope that I can catch up with my other frens...

快慢

2009-03-01T21:08:00.003+08:00

过得最快，又过得最慢的是：时间

Everyone has 24hours a day...and time passes 1 sec by 1 sec...1 min by 1 min...1 hour by 1 hour...it's the same for everyone...

But why is it, sometimes we feel that time passes by so quickly yet sometimes so slowly??

Recently, I always feel the weekends, especially Saturdays just passed by in a blink...it's like, I haven't even done anything or enjoy myself, then it's night time...

It's the same with work...I have been quite busy over this past month...and time really does fly like a blink of eye...before I know it, it's lunch time...and just a while after lunch, it's 545pm...and colleagues start to go home...and shortly, it's 7+...shortly again, it's 8+, 9+...are we short of time or are we just having too much work?

The opposite happens when there aren't too many things to do...and we would lament, why isn't it time for lunch? and why isn't it time to knock off?

Lesson 1

2009-02-22T20:16:00.002+08:00

Attended my first lesson today...looking forward to the next one 2 weeks later :p

Finally

2009-02-19T08:28:00.001+08:00

Finally...waited 15days for today...

Lazy or unforgetful?

2009-02-17T11:21:00.002+08:00

Is there a need to dry a brolly from yesterday after lunch till now? Yesterday, there were 2 brollies left at the corridor to dry…but before end of the day, 1 was already kept by its owner...anyway, it was just a very light n short drizzle during lunch time…but there’s still this 1 left there...

Actually I know it belongs to my neighbour...she is always like this when ‘dealing’ with brollies...there was once when she left her brolly in the corridor for a long long time, then someone kind helped to keep it in the common brolly area...she got the ‘cheek’ to ask whether I have seen it after she finally realized it’s missing...then I noticed it was at the common area...actually, sometimes when I collect back mine, I will help her to bring hers to her...

Now, I wonder, how much longer is she going to leave it there to dry…at lunch time? When she finally realizes she needs it?

Happy V day!

Happy Valentines' Day!

I'm Happy...

2009-02-13T20:50:00.001+08:00

I'm happy because
1) today is Friday, and it's weekends!
2) I'm 1 step nearer to one of my goals for the year! :)

I wonder

2009-02-11T13:04:00.002+08:00

I wonder is it because of the weather or the work that i'm feeling so no-mood...or is it simply because i'm missing someone?

Lion Dance

2009-01-29T21:55:00.000+08:00

Lion dance in our office premise...haha...n the "lion" even posed for me to take when they came to our dept (see pic4) :p

Change

2009-01-26T15:22:00.002+08:00

Used the first day of CNY to watch "Change"...the DVD that i borrowed from my colleague...

Have always like Takuya Kimura...n i like his character in the show 朝仓启太, a primary5 teacher who went into the politics circle out of a coincidence...

I find it amusing but can't help to agree when he told his two 'opponents' in the PM election, to explain to him what they meant as though they are teachers trying to explain to primary5 students...and he said, compared to them, he is closer to the nation's people and listened to what the people really want...

Another funny thing is his hairstyle...that's also why his nickname is 卷毛仓 :p

Happy 牛 Year!

All for Today

2009-01-23T16:01:00.000+08:00

OT for the whole of 2weeks including coming back to work on a Sun – all for today’s results announcement …last min analysis due to yesterday’s Budget2009 announcement…luckily no change to the actual results is required…if not, not sure what time we need to work till…

Well, that’s the end of this episode…but something big is coming up which I’ve been working hard on apart from the announcement…today, I just hope we can all relax a bit and I can spend a good evening…with W :p

小酒窝

2009-01-18T18:54:00.003+08:00

词：王雅君曲:林俊杰唱: 林俊杰阿Sa

我还在寻找一个依靠和一个拥抱
谁替我祈祷替我烦恼为我生气为我闹
幸福开始有预兆缘分让我们慢慢紧靠
然后孤单被吞没了无聊变得有话聊有变化了

小酒窝长睫毛是你最美的记号
我每天睡不着想念你的微笑
你不知道你对我多么重要
有了你生命完整的刚好

小酒窝长睫毛迷人的无可救药
我放慢了步调感觉像是喝醉了
终于找到心有灵犀的美好
一辈子暖暖的好我永远爱你到老
===================================
喜欢这首歌的轻快旋律...感觉很甜蜜 :)

Pls dun kay kiang

2009-01-13T12:58:00.003+08:00

Sometimes, i wish people can be more considerate and dun "kay kiang"- when they know they can't finish the assignment by the deadline, they should let other people know early...or maybe give a hint or drop a line...and not wait till like 4days before the deadline (when they have more than 2months to do) then tell people that they can't finish!

So how? now with just less than 4 days to the submission deadline, i'm being 'dumped' w this piece of work...not counting the rest of the stuff that i'm currently busy with...

Super unfair!

Visit to the doctor

2009-01-07T09:54:00.002+08:00

I wonder what people do inside the doctor's room when my turn is only 5mins...some people can be inside for 20-30 mins...i wonder what happens inside...they chat w the doc? or complicated illness?

I was the number 9, but i had to wait for abt 1 and a half hr before i get to see the doc...the more i waited, the more sick i felt...

I last saw this doc in Sep2005...ha...more than 3yrs liao...cos my previous company didn't allow staff to see other private doctors...now, i'm glad that this clinic is one of the panel clinics of my current company...the doctor still looks the same n the staff are still the same group of people...haha...nothing much has changed...

新年新发型
