August 25, 2005

如此而已。

从前，照片如此珍贵。

电视剧里，阿嬷的铁盒子里仅存一张阿公和她的合照。那是他们的结婚照，就那么一张合照。

我生活在，一个科技发达的时代。数码相机，更让我拥有了数百张照片。每时每刻，我们都说“喂！来拍照拍照！”然后很自恋的摆了很多pose。都是很高兴的合照。只是，我已经很久没有翻开那些照片了。我甚至质疑它们的价值。事过境迁，人在，但他还是他吗？望着那些照片，还记得那些不忘的誓言吗？却没有勇气拿起电话，只是摇摇头认命，感慨，然后又开始忙碌，就忘了。更讽刺的是，在路上偶然碰到竟然会有种“不要让他看到我”的感觉。

也许，照片根本抓不住什么，是我太天真。我拼命的想留住什么，以为有照片为证就不会变，可是变了，就变了。照片也许更是无情，提醒着我们，那个我们回不去的过去。

我却不舍得，丢弃或删除任何一张。心里明白，其实照片，一张也不需要，因为真正刻苦铭心的，是印在脑海里，丢不了，也删不了。

只是，永远不安的自己，还是得借由这些摸得到，看得到的东西，来告诉自己，这是我的故事。仿佛，真的，如果我将它们丢了，我的回忆也不见了。

我的一个房间，都是我死都不肯丢掉东西的证据。什么都想留着，有时好想一把火烧了，可还是不舍得。读过一本书，杂乱的房间，让人思绪也杂乱。我看着我的房间，也头痛了。从何收起？这个不愿丢，那个留着也许有用，结果受收拾房间也是徒劳无功。有时很讨厌。也许全都丢了，我也不再烦恼了。了无牵挂。

阿嬷一个小铁盒，就装满了回忆和感动。

但愿我连小铁盒都不需要。

Today I am classified as Analytical Analytical.

Am I that Analytical?

I thought I would be an amiable. Or at least amiable analytical.

(The two other social styles are Driven & Expressive. )

Interesting.

Happy 2010

Jia you Ms Ang! Aza aza fighting!

Sunburnt, blisters but HAPPY!

2009-09-03T22:09:00.005+08:00

More photos: 1 2 3

The camera flashed, capturing the moment on film for all eternity.

2009-07-28T16:22:00.006+08:00

@ Mt Sophia - Old School

Just got my first roll of BBF film scanned - lol only a few nice ones - i.e most are quite bad haha. But I think the photo above comes out quite well! :D At least it captured what should be captured. Haha.

@ Old School - 2902 Gallery

This is probably a super heng photo! Most prob due to us forgetting to turn the film and hence we ended up with the multiple exposure image. I like this photo. The contrast of action v.s quiet. And our faces fits so nicely! And it managed to captured some art pieces at the back too.

& here's a collection of all the toy cameras I have :D my next aim is a split cam! Trying to find where I can get in in SG. Hmm.

Oh - & I got an empty film canister from TripleD just now - I wanna try to do my own redscale film! Super cool! & of course the next photoshoot w YC - RETRO theme @ a playground! I cant wait! Oh and I want to make my own pinhole camera too. Haha.

:D

2009-07-27T22:44:00.002+08:00

Saw this on Eunice's blog - its such a happy and amazing MTV that I have to share :D

On another note - I think its a stupid ruling that we cant even drink plain water (much less eat sweets) on MRT. Think they will wait till someone faint/die due to lack of water before they will review the policy.

:D

2009-07-20T22:17:00.005+08:00

Haha I went crazy and bought my orange BlackBirdFly online last week. =D
Got it today. *Online shopping rocks*

Time to buy some film and go for experimental shoots!

Anybody with me?

On another note, we did this after our run. ♥
Thanks JY for the edit :P

& my nett timing is 00:38:07 for a 5km run~ :)

^^

2009-07-09T02:02:00.000+08:00

Finally one good opportunity. Wish me luck for the interview :)

Tempting?

2009-07-06T16:54:00.002+08:00

With air tickets to Japan for like $400 all inclusive - I am like tempted to go.. not.

Seriously and sadly, I am dying to get a full time permanent job now. And until then I dont feel like indulging in any travel.

I need to get a job! Why dont I hear from any company that I have sent my resume to?

Grr. Haiz.

Nitty Gritty Things.

2009-06-24T14:25:00.005+08:00

Citibank needs to change their cash deposit machine!
Second time that the machine "ate" my money without updating my bank acc.
Never happen to me using POSB/UOB machines.
I can say it is a highly distressing affair.
So much so that I don't feel like going shopping when I actually planned to before the unfortunate incident happen.
Lets hope they find my money in the security box.
Lets hope the call me sooner so that I can feel more at ease.
(Ok got the call at 3.40pm - my $$ is safe! ^^)

On another happier note, its the durian season!

Picked by my beloved Daddy from Pulau Ubin :)

Yummy!

When I showed no interest, he asked "you are sec 2 or sec 3?"

2009-03-03T13:41:00.004+08:00

I am so irritated with my HP laptop!
I only on it like the 2nd time and it died on me!
Had stupid lines on the screen and it just hanged!
Grr!
And I forced it to off and then I could not on it.
Thought it was a monitor prob since I see only black screen.
Finally can on and then it had the lines again and hanged on me again.
My bro say most likely a hardware problem.
Ahh and the stupid service centre is super far away.
Totally spoil my day.

(Another note is that their service was rather good though - sent an sms to me the next day stating who was in charge of the servicing and a number I could call; then they called me up the next next day, although a lil early at like 9.30am, to inform me that they had ordered the parts for replacement. )

戏剧之歌

2009-02-19T15:23:00.002+08:00

为得今日的掌声
费尽不少的心血
没有辛苦的耕耘
何来欣慰的收获
谁不曾在学习路上碰到失败与挫折
有谁不想成为明日耀眼的星星
忘了失败继续前行
世上没有做不到的事
戏剧工作虽然艰辛
我却坚持走下去
不怕困难没有畏惧
自己的路自己掌握
只要勿忘我曾是中文戏剧一份子
只要铭记在我心我爱戏剧一辈子

这首歌还是会让我很感动。。

翔鹰2009。。我多希望这不是最后一次的演出。。

请大家多多支持！

失った梦だけが
美しく见えるのは何故かしら
过ぎ去った优しさも今は
甘い记忆Sweet Memories

Don`t kiss me baby
We can never be
So don`t add more pain
Please don`t hurt me again
I have spend so many nights
Thinking of you
longing for your touch
I have once loved you so much
あのころは若すぎて
恶戏に伤つけあったふたり
色あせた悲しみも今は
远い记忆 Sweet Memories
失った梦だけが
美しく见えるのは何故かしら
过ぎ去った优しさも今は
甘い记忆Sweet Memories

Will now go off to Seoul (Shopping!) on 3 Jan and go from there to Chun Cheon (Nami Island!) so dont have to lug luggage here and there~
And then back to SG~

Travelling have been crazy. And its freezing here.
I could feel the cold right through 3 layers of pants & 4 layers of clothes.
My hands and toes are like frozen~
Stomach was unwell at one point of the time, so appetite wasnt good.
Haha can jian fei~
But still it was fun :)

Dont miss me too much!

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

2008-12-26T01:39:00.004+08:00

Haha I saw this from Jasmine's blog and thought it was cute.

Well its a little bit late since Christmas is over, and its Boxing Day now, BUT better late than never right? That's me.

Heh for those who dont know I am flying off to Korea later tonight! Cant wait to see the snow there! Its gonna be so freezing cold sia I dont know if I can tahaan.. Well hopefully I wont turn into an ice stick there~

Doubt I will be blogging there.. so this is all for this year..

Will be back on 8 Jan 2009 :D Cya then.

Happy New Year! (I am early in wishing you all that ahha~)

But before I go, let's have some tagging fun.. Cheryl tagged me~ :P

A. Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things / habits / little known facts abt yourself.
B. At the end, you will need to choose 10 people to be tagged & list down their names.
C. People who get tagged need to post 10 weird things / habits / little known facts as well as state the rules clearly.
D. No tag back.

(1) I cant differentiate 左右 and I need to think "I use my right hand to write" to tell where is "right".

(2) I have long fingernails and friends who always asked me to cut them.

(3) I try not to walk over the metal bars over the drains - I am always afraid that I will somehow drop into the drains.

(4) My room (& home) is always in a mess - though I would love to see it clean but somehow I just have to keep all the ~~trash~~ memories.

(5) I love to travel. I want to have the courage to travel alone someday.

(6) I think that human are scarier than ghosts. But yet I am still afraid of the unknown and believe that human are good by nature.

(7) Public affairs is what interest me the least. I am selfish.

(8) I need to have more courage.

(9) I dont know what the future holds. I am still lost. Have no plans, no aspirations.. nothing.. I wish I can find out what is that I want in life.

(10) I have a plan though - to get married by 27, have a kid by 28, because I believe that is the best time to give birth. Of course nothing in life is definite and I wonder if this thinking will change.

Hmm lets tag ppl -
Maggie, Audrey, Eunice, Jasmine, Bonnie, Ying Chan, Xiangbin
and those who wanna do this tag hahha..

EOY 2008

2008-12-15T13:06:00.020+08:00

This time I just went as a normal civilian with a camera in my hand.
Photos taken aren't fantastic, I am still super blur on how to adjust the aperture etc.
But still here are the better photos taken, after some editing they look better haha. Dont ask me to name the characters as well, I am like so not good at it. Haha.

This should be Kon from Bleach. This kid really knows how to pose.
Ah too bad the other Kon didnt put on his head the few times we saw him.

The lil girl smile is cute too ^^

Objection!

Someone from Naruto..

The first prize winner of the individual female cosplay.

Naruto v.s > ?

Gundam?

No idea who she is, but think her expressions are nice, esp her eyes.

Another kid at cosplay~ Look~ everyone is looking at her!

Too bad she was like amchio-ing here.

This photo is taken by Drey~

Some other photos from the event :)

The very intricate and expensive dolls.

The very zai people who can just squat there and draw out beautiful pictures!

And of course I took some photos with some of the characters who catches my eye~

Noticed them straight from the start :P Cute!

てるてる(晴天娃娃)
I loved it's dying dropped dead pose on stage haha!

Ah but too bad next year SOY I can only go in the morning. Never mind I shall wait for June and see what Jayesh cosplay as. ^^

The one thing I hate.

2008-12-09T00:00:00.002+08:00

Tonight went for dinner at Waraku with my aunts, sis and cousins.
Everything was fine until we asked for the bill.

We went to Waraku for the Ladies Night 50% discount.
One of the terms is that we have to all be above 16 years old.
We are all at least 20 already.

The guy asked to check our identities.
So jokingly we asked which of us?
And he pointed at me!

Wah liao both my cousins younger than me lor.
=_=!!

Grr. Dont like to look too young.
:'(

(Thanks Eunice for sharing this on her blog.)

I cant believe I actually ran 10km!

2008-09-01T09:46:00.003+08:00

The first ever time I ran 10km.
With no training or whatsoever for this.
Craziness.

Position 7112 in the whole of Singapore.
Position 2216 if I am only competing with females in Singapore.
Position 131500 in the whole world.
Position 34863 if I am only competing with females in the whole world.
Seems like there are more guys coming for this.

Also went for baybeats - My Little Airport after the run with Eunice & Loo & Friends.
Though I wasnt really sitting together with them since I was late.
My Little Airport.. They rock but they are SUPER SHY.
Imagine after every song they will just turn their back to audience, look at the song list and chat amongst themselves before turning back to perform the next song.
But nicole's "wo hou geng" (I am scared) made this gesture very cute.

Photos up later.

My love will get you home

2008-08-31T12:37:00.001+08:00

If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If the bright lights blinds your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
If its only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home.
Boy, my love will get you home.

Olympics

2008-08-25T13:07:00.003+08:00

Olympics ended.

I didn't even know it was suppose to end yesterday. :X
Watched a little of the closing and went off to sleep.
Not very interesting :X
Slept a lot yesterday.

I think the whole of Olympics I only watched snippets I managed to catch on TVmobile - some swimming and gymnasts and beach volleyball.
And hear the table tennis match which got us silver medal on 100.3 radio.
On the day of opening I was working at DC.
So I missed the supposedly fantastic opening.
I didnt watch NDP too.
Well well.

There is no point to this post, just figure I should blog something on the hottest topic now.
:P

Life and How to Survive It

2008-08-03T11:00:00.002+08:00

Read this from Bonnie's blog, who got this from Mr Wang's blog. It's real meaningful and so I am sharing this.

This is a speech by Adrian Tan, who is a litigation lawyer at one of Singapore's leading law firms and the author of The Teenage Textbook. Adrian is the guest-of-honour at an NTU convocation ceremony last week, and this is his speech to the graduating class of 2008.

Life and How to Survive It

I must say thank you to the faculty and staff of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information for inviting me to give your convocation address. It’s a wonderful honour and a privilege for me to speak here for ten minutes without fear of contradiction, defamation or retaliation. I say this as a Singaporean and more so as a husband.

My wife is a wonderful person and perfect in every way except one. She is the editor of a magazine. She corrects people for a living. She has honed her expert skills over a quarter of a century, mostly by practising at home during conversations between her and me.

On the other hand, I am a litigator. Essentially, I spend my day telling people how wrong they are. I make my living being disagreeable.

Nevertheless, there is perfect harmony in our matrimonial home. That is because when an editor and a litigator have an argument, the one who triumphs is always the wife.

And so I want to start by giving one piece of advice to the men: when you’ve already won her heart, you don’t need to win every argument.

Marriage is considered one milestone of life. Some of you may already be married. Some of you may never be married. Some of you will be married. Some of you will enjoy the experience so much, you will be married many, many times. Good for you.

The next big milestone in your life is today: your graduation. The end of education. You’re done learning.

You’ve probably been told the big lie that “Learning is a lifelong process” and that therefore you will continue studying and taking masters’ degrees and doctorates and professorships and so on. You know the sort of people who tell you that? Teachers. Don’t you think there is some measure of conflict of interest? They are in the business of learning, after all. Where would they be without you? They need you to be repeat customers.

The good news is that they’re wrong.

The bad news is that you don’t need further education because your entire life is over. It is gone. That may come as a shock to some of you. You’re in your teens or early twenties. People may tell you that you will live to be 70, 80, 90 years old. That is your life expectancy.

I love that term: life expectancy. We all understand the term to mean the average life span of a group of people. But I’m here to talk about a bigger idea, which is what you expect from your life.

You may be very happy to know that Singapore is currently ranked as the country with the third highest life expectancy. We are behind Andorra and Japan, and tied with San Marino. It seems quite clear why people in those countries, and ours, live so long. We share one thing in common: our football teams are all hopeless. There’s very little danger of any of our citizens having their pulses raised by watching us play in the World Cup. Spectators are more likely to be lulled into a gentle and restful nap.

Singaporeans have a life expectancy of 81.8 years. Singapore men live to an average of 79.21 years, while Singapore women live more than five years longer, probably to take into account the additional time they need to spend in the bathroom.

So here you are, in your twenties, thinking that you’ll have another 40 years to go. Four decades in which to live long and prosper.

Bad news. Read the papers. There are people dropping dead when they’re 50, 40, 30 years old. Or quite possibly just after finishing their convocation. They would be very disappointed that they didn’t meet their life expectancy.

I’m here to tell you this. Forget about your life expectancy.

After all, it’s calculated based on an average. And you never, ever want to expect being average.

Revisit those expectations. You might be looking forward to working, falling in love, marrying, raising a family. You are told that, as graduates, you should expect to find a job paying so much, where your hours are so much, where your responsibilities are so much.

That is what is expected of you. And if you live up to it, it will be an awful waste.

If you expect that, you will be limiting yourself. You will be living your life according to boundaries set by average people. I have nothing against average people. But no one should aspire to be them. And you don’t need years of education by the best minds in Singapore to prepare you to be average.

What you should prepare for is mess. Life’s a mess. You are not entitled to expect anything from it. Life is not fair. Everything does not balance out in the end. Life happens, and you have no control over it. Good and bad things happen to you day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. Your degree is a poor armour against fate.

Don’t expect anything. Erase all life expectancies. Just live. Your life is over as of today. At this point in time, you have grown as tall as you will ever be, you are physically the fittest you will ever be in your entire life and you are probably looking the best that you will ever look. This is as good as it gets. It is all downhill from here. Or up. No one knows.

What does this mean for you? It is good that your life is over.

Since your life is over, you are free. Let me tell you the many wonderful things that you can do when you are free.

The most important is this: do not work.

Work is anything that you are compelled to do. By its very nature, it is undesirable.

Work kills. The Japanese have a term “Karoshi”, which means death from overwork. That’s the most dramatic form of how work can kill. But it can also kill you in more subtle ways. If you work, then day by day, bit by bit, your soul is chipped away, disintegrating until there’s nothing left. A rock has been ground into sand and dust.

There’s a common misconception that work is necessary. You will meet people working at miserable jobs. They tell you they are “making a living”. No, they’re not. They’re dying, frittering away their fast-extinguishing lives doing things which are, at best, meaningless and, at worst, harmful.

People will tell you that work ennobles you, that work lends you a certain dignity. Work makes you free. The slogan “Arbeit macht frei” was placed at the entrances to a number of Nazi concentration camps. Utter nonsense.

Do not waste the vast majority of your life doing something you hate so that you can spend the small remainder sliver of your life in modest comfort. You may never reach that end anyway.

Resist the temptation to get a job. Instead, play. Find something you enjoy doing. Do it. Over and over again. You will become good at it for two reasons: you like it, and you do it often. Soon, that will have value in itself.

I like arguing, and I love language. So, I became a litigator. I enjoy it and I would do it for free. If I didn’t do that, I would’ve been in some other type of work that involved still involved writing fiction – probably a sports journalist.

So what should you do? You will find your own niche. I don’t imagine you will need to look very hard. By this time in your life, you will have a very good idea of what you will want to do. In fact, I’ll go further and say the ideal situation would be that you will not be able to stop yourself pursuing your passions. By this time you should know what your obsessions are. If you enjoy showing off your knowledge and feeling superior, you might become a teacher.

Find that pursuit that will energise you, consume you, become an obsession. Each day, you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don’t, you are working.

Most of you will end up in activities which involve communication. To those of you I have a second message: be wary of the truth. I’m not asking you to speak it, or write it, for there are times when it is dangerous or impossible to do those things. The truth has a great capacity to offend and injure, and you will find that the closer you are to someone, the more care you must take to disguise or even conceal the truth. Often, there is great virtue in being evasive, or equivocating. There is also great skill. Any child can blurt out the truth, without thought to the consequences. It takes great maturity to appreciate the value of silence.

In order to be wary of the truth, you must first know it. That requires great frankness to yourself. Never fool the person in the mirror.

I have told you that your life is over, that you should not work, and that you should avoid telling the truth. I now say this to you: be hated.

It’s not as easy as it sounds. Do you know anyone who hates you? Yet every great figure who has contributed to the human race has been hated, not just by one person, but often by a great many. That hatred is so strong it has caused those great figures to be shunned, abused, murdered and in one famous instance, nailed to a cross.

One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions. It is far too easy to be liked, one merely has to be accommodating and hold no strong convictions. Then one will gravitate towards the centre and settle into the average. That cannot be your role. There are a great many bad people in the world, and if you are not offending them, you must be bad yourself. Popularity is a sure sign that you are doing something wrong.

The other side of the coin is this: fall in love.

I didn’t say “be loved”. That requires too much compromise. If one changes one’s looks, personality and values, one can be loved by anyone.

Rather, I exhort you to love another human being. It may seem odd for me to tell you this. You may expect it to happen naturally, without deliberation. That is false. Modern society is anti-love. We’ve taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work – the only kind of work that I find palatable.

Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.

Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn’t happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.

You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.

You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.

Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it.

Don’t work. Avoid telling the truth. Be hated. Love someone.

You’re going to have a busy life. Thank goodness there’s no life expectancy.

大姨，我们会想念你的。

Taken during CNY this year.

Even though my aunt was lying unconscious in the hospital for four months and one day without a known cause, I seriously believe that miraculously that just as suddenly she went down she will wake up. I see my uncle go to the hospital twice everyday, go to work and rush back to take care of the children without fail. He talk to her, help her massage, make sure her lips are not dry, comb her hair... I just thought maybe after she rested well for a few months she will just wake up and chat with us happily like she always do.

Games & Laughter

2008-06-27T13:42:00.008+08:00

My commencement is on 9th July! (Which is also my sister birthday ^^) Yay I got 4 invites so my whole family can go.

Went to pick up my invitation cards and also return a loan giro form at NUS. Met Shera at the bus stop~ Saw Jingwen too but he vv fast disappear. Haah. Also manage to meet my laopo and my ai ren. Very qiao! Me and my lao po were inside the hall for super long (3 rounds?) and we went to take photos with the rented gowns haha. No choice our commencement date dont match. Signed up for this photo package for $200. Broke. The uncle introducing us the thing was very nice and comical. I even intro my ai ren to sign up a package with him~ Lol. Then further on there was another studio promoting too -- the lady damn funny. We said we already sign up for a package le and she say "never mind, can cancel one mah" lol. Then when we walked back to find my ai ren & her friend she say "going back to cancel ah" haha. Cute.

Then went for cashless last shot as the playgirl - because I said I went to the shot just for fun - so I just zuo bo there and take a lot of pictures.

Boo!

Sadako!

Taken on a self timer with Aik Hoe - since we are the one always taking photos, we must take some of ourselves too!

Kate busy putting make-up for uncle while I pose for photos lol. Oh and met En Dian (e guy beside me) who was from my hall last time too.. he is here as an extra. So qiao.

Monopoly while being distracted by the movie 《东成西就》. Food + Monopoly + TV = Good chilling out :P Yes we should do this more often! So sad tt hideout cafe 倒闭! We like only went there once?!

BH & Yan totally enjoying the lame movie on TV. We put a stop to monopoly because of the show. Lol.

Misc photos~Fresh crabs! Caught by my Dad mmm :P

MMM :P I ate part of one of them on Sunday night :X

Evening time.. Taking a walk back from 27 bus stop instead of taking 293 back after work. Healthy lifestyle!

Lalala ^^ Almost home sweet home~

Speaking of healthy lifestyle, I will be going for the Anlene Orchard Mile this sunday, which is also Father's Day, with my sister. Amazing right? My bib no is 3459. I think I will like probably walk finish the whole thing. Since I haven't run for ages. Ok I just realise its only like one mile = 1.6km haha should be ok bah lol~ I think I have walked that distance for many times before already since I normally think its a waste of $$ to take transport from Orchard to Dhoby Ghaut and vice versa. In fact I have ever walked from Orchard to Bugis to Suntec before too. Keke. Anyway also going for the Walk for our Children 2008 in July, this one is 3km though :). So healthy this year. Heh and Minghui I want our cycling trip soon and hopefully the weather forecast will be sunny instead of rainy next time round!

To end off.. I saw this today:

Amusing. The things we need to be reminded of.

Is there a term for the 'study of love'?

2008-06-06T12:25:00.003+08:00

There is a word 'erotology' which is defined as "the 'science' of love". This is a rarely used word, except in anthropology, where it is found slightly more often. This term really relates to the study of sexual activity and techniques rather than to the study of love itself. The only word this editor can think of for that is 'marriage'!

No Time to Fluff!

Last week has been HECTIC. BEWARE LONG POST AHEAD.

Wed - Went to find where on earth is Emily Hill after work . (It's hidden in the city area, but a relatively good place to chill ^^). Learnt about the sound system. Had rochor tau huay with Jing Wen & Jasmine~

Thurs - Did sound operator for AIC at Emily Hill (I took leave to do this.. how wonderful lol). Reporting time was like 8am. *Yawn* Work also I dont need to wake that early. Ah but got Stan Lai talk! :P The highlight of the day.

Stan Lai speaking. Taken from my view at the sound console, behind the screen so sian.

I was controlling this sound console~ My 1st time doing sound~ Basically still cant differentiate much on the high, mid and low tones.. to me they sound the same no matter how I adjust?

Hee. Also see famous people like Yann Yann and Peter Sau and other big shots in theatre.. Oh btw AIC = Asian Intercultural Conference organised by Theatre Training & Research Programme (TTRP) . Another highlight of the day - FREE dimsum by Ding Tai Fung~ Lol they are the sponsor and the chef especially come and make the dimsum.

Me with my dimsum.. its some prawn thingy mmm~

After kouping the dimsum, I went off the meet Yonghui, Yunyi and Yongli at music dreamer aka 爱情海~ The singers are quite good. I like Yuxuan the best ^^ & I think Weiquan is the cutest of all guys that night. And he sang the song I dedicate. Guess what song?!~ Haha its 爱拼才会赢！ The gentler version though~ Sadly he dont have the Hokkien say, though Yongli say he normally not like that one. Really enjoyed just random chatting and hearing the songs and listening to the singers crap. But one word of advice is to have dinner before you go. The drinks are :X too. But no choice have to order. Oh & they still hang Daniel Chan as the poster over there! Lol~ :) Ah I think maybe next time will go hear Ric (former 梦飞船团员) and his wife 蔡礼莲 sing~

With only a phone camera.. this is the best i can come up with. Yes we were sitting quite far back~

Fri - Work. Basically running around doing errands. Lol but manage to meet up with HT in the midst of all these. *Muacks* But before meeting her I got pulled by this irritating girl selling facial packages. And she just refused to let me go! I was like let me consider and then I will come back if I want to. Then she simply just keeps on talking even though I said I was meeting somebody. -_-! In the end I had to put $2 deposit just to make her let me go. Dont think I am ever going back. Then went to watch Hamlet Machine by TTRP at night. Chim show totally don't understand. Mmm. But I think the setting quite cool. Old canteen transformed into a stage! Makes the whole stage seems very flexible and not so rigid. Lol and lots of mosquitoes coils around. Smoke effect! Ah then drinks at night + dimsum & spicy mcnuggets supper and shopping at Mustafa.

Chill out at Emily Hill~ Thanks CC for the drink though I am not part of the crew and have rejected her show :X

Vodka Sprite. My face super red after this. Apparently its not my blood circulation that is good but rather my liver do not have the enzymes to break down certain chemicals in the drink. So its actually not a good sign.

I think we shopped till 2.30am and I bought "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" DVD. The cab fare back is equivalent to the price of the DVD though. :P

Sat - Fingergun Fighting! Yes I was there. The crazy bunch of people. Went with Cheryl and her friend Yao Hui.

This is basically a Flash mob
whats a Flash mob ?

"A flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief period of time, then quickly disperse. "

Inspired by:

The mission was meant to be held at Raffles Place where the huge grass patch is, but the stupid rain started pouring heavily with no signs of stopping so they changed the venue to Esplanade underground. We were split into teams and some acted a few mini scenes.

The rules~

Each person 20 bullets. When the bullets finish, you die.
But you cannot die suddenly. Have to make sure someone's shooting at you lar.
Only use "bang bang" or "chik chik bang bang". NEVER ever mention the word BOMB.
Do not obstruct the pathway when you die. So make sure you stagger a bit and get yourself out of the way before dying. (More for Raffles Place)
The fingergun fighting ends when the SWAT team comes in, kills everyone left standing and says "mission accomplished". Get up and leave. Do not cheer. Just walk away.

Actually when they said "Mission Accomplished" it was not so obvious, so a lot of people were still lying there. Lol Yao Hui was one of them. Me and Cheryl waited for some time before he came out. Lolz.

I love this mission. But its like over in a few seconds to me. The place was too huge and too lil of us. I think I shoot less than 20 bullets before I died. Cos almost everyone else was dead already. So I took a shot at someone and someone took a shot at me and we both went down together. Shortly after the mission was done. I saw Cheryl walking by me before I knew it was really over over. Haaha. I heard that a few girls practicing dance there screamed in shock. And I saw a guy on skateboard join in the fun by shooting too. Many people just stood by the escalator and watched. Was super high after that~

The Singapore Version (Not the official version. I am waiting for that!) - Spot me in the video! I have like one second of fame? :

Wanna join? Join Mission:SG ^^

Agent Code: Guy with Green Weird Plushie / Stuff Toy!!. >_<>

Taking photo at the Esplanade while waiting for the rest of the secret agents.

Me and Cheryl

The after party. Hmm but not very high cos I think most of us there dont really drink or party? I dint stay long. So Cheryl the only thing you missed was a group photo. Haha~

Robert (a NS guy we met there), Yao Hui & Me~

Had dinner with some of the guys at BK. Then chatted with them who thought I looked very young and dont believe that I am 23. -_-! Oh and Cheryl, the super young guy we tot was sec2 is actually like 17 already :X Pot calling the kettle black cos he's also one of them who don't believe I 23 already~ Then I went home and slept at like 8.30pm till 6.30am the next morning.

Sun - Sound operator again. ZzzZzz 8am again but I shouldnt have gone so early because basically I was the only two that early. Stoned for quite some time after set up for the in-charge to come in. Oooh but so good Xiangbin they all bought Rochor tau huay and 油条 for me, though I only had time to eat it after the conference cos the break was too short. Conference ended late and the in-charge was expecting me to help her strike but I told her I got something on. Besides I dont even know how to strike sound equipment lor. Then she immediately called Jasmine (the other sound op who was helping to strike Hamletmachine) for help. -_-! Never hear before sound ops need to strike one. & besides Jasmine was kind enough to help her setup already when the equipment is not even ours. Bleh anw helped her keep the mics before rushing off to Bedok Reservoir to meet my sister and her friends for a Forest Adventure!

Lol this was quite fun. Except for this angmoh who thinks he's a big shot and keep hurrying us. IRRITATING.

(Stock Image) The toughest black stage. I took super long to cross this.

And the freefall spidey web thingy was violent. Hit the net and I actually went backward. The ladders are also diff to climb and every station starts with that! But I am quite fine with the rest though. Haah considering that I am one who dont really exercise.

(Stock image) I never once landed on my feet after doing the flyingfox. -_-! All 4 times I landed on my butt and twice my shoes came off.

Dont mind going back there, though its a lil pricey. Lol the next time I will bring the camera with me. Now all the photos taken are with my sister or her friends~

Mon - Went off for a film screening @ Substation after work (Running around in town for some errands and waiting for a print job to be done - seriously I could have done better than her sub-quality rushed out job. She promised it done by Fri night and still cant deliver on Mon morning and I had to wait more than 4 hours for her. Conclusion: Never go back to that shop again. Don't promise things you cant do. And her charges are not cheap too). Anyway the films were pretty good. I like the documentary style one. The animation one was good but I think not enough impact. The other one a lot of people feel they cant connect with it due to the disconnected exaggerated style was pretty ok in my eyes too, it's just a style the director choses and I think there's nothing wrong with that. It's been long since I go to a film screening with director's Q & As. Basically going there was to support BK my nuSTUDIOS senior~ Then after the screening went for TTPVP's meeting at NAFA TCC. Though I am not under the committee, they needed help for the retreat as most of the comm members are away. So I just go and see what I can help lor. Which means I have to go for the retreat (super freaking far at Bukit Batok) but I think it will be fun lar.

Tue - Hmm got called in last minute for this client's talk at Bugis. The talk ended at like 5pm so I decided to be unlazy and go drop by Cashless production. Melinda's the director :) Lol I got lost going there though. Apparently I tot I had to just keep walking straight from the MRT, so I walk and walk cnt find the place.. u-turn back from another place and find myself at Geylang -_- Can see and smell all the tempting durians. End up I realised I had walked this one super big round just because I miss a turn! Anw was just intending to meet and catch up with some familiar faces since I MIA for very long from nuSTUDIOS. In the end I end up helping as the contigirl (continuity girl who needs to jot down all the timecode and description like NG or very good for the shots)~ So I stayed all the way till the filming ended which was I think 12.15am. By the time we packed up and had supper and cab back home it was already 2am. Yawn. & of course I went straight to sleep. But I realised I miss production days. A bit regret didn't really get involve in productions. Somehow always vv busy during holidays. Anyw I think SK was totally crazy yesterday and his sweaty tower is damn disgusting. Haha. Great to see Liu Hang, Melinda, Derek, Jian, Aik Hoe (the ultimate stoned expressions), Kate，BK, SK and new members/talents too~ I peifu Jian who is the DP for this show to stay till so late when he got internship at 8.45sm! And the filming continues on the whole of this week. He was like totally exhausted. I cant even really pull myself up at 10am lor. :X

Wed - Ah I finally stayed home. Doing... nothing? Shit. Ok when I dont have time, I complain. When I have time I procrastinate. Grr. Suppose to get this proposal out, but I havent really started on it though presentation next week? So dead. But no motivation to get started and somemore I can still be blogging here. Also dont know the whole day what I was doing man.

xxx

I think I have a tendency to pamper myself these day and spend $$. Even though I am so underpaid. I guess this is call retail/food therapy. I seemed to be going for more Arts stuff too~

And I have been going out like so many days that I miss just lazing around at home. Ah but my calendar seemed to be packed. MmmMmmmZzzZzz.. So packed that I havent have time to fluff or make siggys. The current queue count is like 16 in line. OMG so dead. Dont know if I can ever find time for them. :X

There is so many things I wanna do. But I feel like lazing around too. No time!

Meeting Wendy tmr or rather today evening. Then working for DC on Sat night. Sun night with CDs? Need to do some housework soon. The house is in a mess again.

OMG blogging takes up a lot of time too.

Randomness.

Giving up, why should I

I've come too far to forget
We're beautiful, we just got lost

Somewhere along the way
So much was missing when you went away
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

Standing here face to face
A finger on your lips
Don't say a word don't make a sound
Silence surrounds us now
Even when you were gone I felt you everywhere
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don′t need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn′t seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

I've never been the one to open up
But you've always been the voice within
The only warmth from my cold heart
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises
Let's start from here, lose the past
Change our minds, we don't need a finish line
Let's take this chance don’t think too deep
Of all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

Remember when you used to hold me,
remember when you make me cry
You said you loved me, oh, you did, yes you did

- Joanna Wong "I Love You"

When I lose myself with you tonight
Fall apart or hold on tight
Wrong or right
I'll always say
You're the best mistake I ever made

- Joanna Wong "The Best Mistake I've Ever Made"

Sometimes you think I'm beautiful
But I don't know
I'll keep it to myself
You say it. It feels wonderful
My smile can show
I'm lost in paradise

- Joanna Wong "Lost in Paradise"

看著你　看窗外　瞧瞧變紅的夜
輕輕的　你的手　又握緊了一些
該不該讓你到我的世界

let's start from here　無所謂　慢慢來

迷宮一樣的未來　轉一個圈
會到哪裡　我喜歡愛情有點神秘
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here

陪著我　喝咖啡　愛在空氣裡
暖暖的是你的笑　趕走心情的灰
我想我不在意你曾愛過誰

Let's start from here
無所謂　就算愛　　像空沙發在等待
擁抱著　是不確定　我喜歡愛情多點驚喜
I don't care where we go
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

愛一個人怎麼開始啊　像街上走過那些人們
轉一個彎　遇見美好

Start from here
無所謂　慢慢來　迷宮一樣的未來
轉一個圈　會到哪裡　我喜歡愛情有點神秘
無所謂　就算愛　像空沙發在等待
擁抱著　是不確定　我喜歡愛情多點驚喜

I don't care where we go
Let's start from here　um…
Let's start from here　oh…
Let's start from here
Let's start from here

jt sux. very big time. i hate her. who is she to scold me? i dun think that wearing orange ankle socks n folding up my skirt is wrong. its not as if i m the only one breaking the rules. there are others who break the rules more than me n nv get caught. i didnt hitch up my skirt to the length of a mini skirt. so i dun see what the prob with that. as if teachers wear skirt up to knee length. so how can they chide us for not wearing to knee length. & she was the one who cum to sch wearing shirts with 3 holes. hrmph. n she was the one who can perm her hair. so why should a student look like a student when teacher doesnt? anyway students are supposed to be rebellious at this stage n i dun see the point y i cant break a few minor rules or so. they r not tat important wat. why should a student be seen like a student when our job is just to study n get good grades? does it mean that if u wear coloured ankle sock or multiple earings, dyed hair u cant be a gd student? where is our freedom of expression? there is none. ppl are so critical. they look on with coloured eyes when u are diff. why do we feel more afraid when we see ppl with tattoo..? anyway why cant i roll my eyes when i m feeling damn piss off with her. whu is she to say i cant roll my eyes. if she can scold me in front of everyone, why cant i roll my eyes in front of her? it feels so gd. what can u do if i cont rolling my eyes? gouge my eyes out? give me cs? heck. she is lucky i didnt even say anything back. for she be amazed at what i m scolding her inside. this isnt the first time she is making the hell outta me on a perfectly fine morning. she just hav to spoil it. n she just have to keep harping on the fact that she caught me b4 for not standing still. my god. tat was in j1 n first 3 mths summore. what is she trying to prove? she have a gd memory. oh pls i make a pt already to stand still every morning n she still have to dig it out. it jus prove to show what. she is evr so idiot. doe she ever care about anothers' feeling. i wonder how she would view a criminal. probably condemn him for life even when he already change for the better. back on the topic of rolling eyes. sosh says i m stupid to roll my eyes in front of her no matter how i dislike her behaviour. i cant be bother no more. i jus can stand the way she do things. she could hav ask me to change in to a white sock at a later time n not ask me to get it off that instant. n she could have ask me to roll my skirt down instead of doing herself. hrmph. hate her. tat an understatment. i nv actually hate anyone b4. n she has done enuff to make me hate her. i nv want to see her in my life. perhaps b4 tat i was young n ignorant. n i just obey everything though grumbling. but i m glad i hav the guts to roll my eyes at her today instead of just keeping quiet n just like trying to nod in agreement to get her off my back. so sick of being myself. the push over me. i dun say anything doesnt mean i m not capable of doing anything. sure i will try not to break the rules nxt time. not because i respected her. but jus bcos i dun wan to get scolded. i just despised her. n i wan to avoid her at all cost. cant be bothered with her. cant wait to get out of this damn sch.

Lol was I that rebellious and angsty then? JT was my discipline mistress at hcjc. Sosh was my CT. Rolling eyes omg haha. Was luffing as I read this :P

*Probably taking a break from making signatures - Takes too much time sia* (Oops I am still making them since requests keeps coming in.. but I am taking my own sweet time.. haha~)

brush credit: www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com

And I had someone to make this for me!~ So nice!

Oh and I won the red convertible from the (lol) art contest. The convertible is like selling at 600 gold in the Limited Edition shop. 10gold = 1USD. So thats like USD$60! But thats peanut compared to the first price Arctic Foxee which is going for more than 5000 gold. USD500?! And guess what its just pixels! (Wonders what the price going to be for fluff plushie which they are introducing soon.)

Congratulations!! Your rank in the contest was 1135.

The convertible in my current habitat. Frankly I don't think I would have won.. cos its not funny at all. I think my the other entry was funnier but it got shot down haha.

Anyway I think people are real mean. Out of 5, the first only got 3.261 lols and the second got 2.939 lols. Like -_-! I know I gave a handful of 4s and 5s~

To view those arts (dont worry they start from top 10 so you dont have to go thru all the crap ones I went thru during votings), click here! Actually I think it is simply amazing how people uses fixed objects to conjure up totally different images. I couldnt really do that. Too used to photoshop already. I get irritated when I cant rotate the size, or slice the image as I want it. So I come to think I am not as creative as I think when it comes to making use of what I have in hand.

Ok I think I am too addicted. (Surprised you are still here haha.)

I need to work and stop going on forum/petting/racing! Damn. And stop blogging about fluff too haha.

海豚表演空中互撞死

2008-05-01T23:49:00.002+08:00

0_o OMG a dolphin from Discovery Cove died while performing :( ..

更新日期:2008/04/30 07:20 編譯陳世欽報導

海豚快活地躍出水面謝幕，多年來一直是佛羅里達奧蘭多「探索海灣」海洋主題樂園表演節目的壓軸好戲，28日卻不幸傳出憾事：兩頭海豚自水中躍起翻轉謝幕時迎頭撞上，其中一頭傷重死亡。
「探索海灣」30歲的雌瓶鼻海豚「夏姬」與13歲的的雄海豚「泰勒」在空中互撞後，夏姬立即落水，訓練師連忙將牠引回淺水區，不斷予以安撫，直到牠因頭部重傷而死。泰勒似無大礙。
「探索海灣」每天只接待1,000名觀眾，不但允許觀眾撫摸海豚，還會讓觀眾握著海豚的背鰭在水上拖行，讓雙方親密互動。表演地點是一處深45公尺的潟湖，觀眾站在淺水區欣賞表演。夏姬與泰勒曾經多次合作表演這項拿手絕活，可能是因為其中一頭誤判而釀成不幸。
動物維權人士表示，有些用來表演的海豚是從自然界捉來的，夏姬就是個例子，而讓海洋動物失去自由接受圈養，形同「宣判牠們死刑」，因牠們被迫在壓力和不適當環境下生活。
「探索海灣」的發言人表示：「這是不幸的意外。現場氣氛足以帶動海豚的情緒，訓練師從不強迫牠們，一切經由鼓勵完成。」園方表示將檢討訓練方法，防止類似意外重演。

2008-04-22T00:08:00.009+08:00

Whee~ Been making all these fluff animation for fun. Hee~

Omg I had to draw the tongue and paws for this.. Looks sucky my drawing but the best I can do.. Had to imagine how the dog can lick the screen too.. As well as change the direction of the doggy~ Oh well~ *but I am quite please I can do it out* [Wasted another few hours on this.. yet totally enjoying it? I feel like going to Laselle and learn all these art thingy now. >_<]

Lol different wings.. hmmm~

Blacklist.

2008-04-15T01:11:00.005+08:00

*Update: Think the person never receive my sms cos he called back again the next day. Anyway so I explained to him but he doesnt really seem to get it. Like the next minute he called back again. Then explained again. And he never dial back le up till now.. So hopefully he manage to call back to India. But hor use HP dial shld be quite expensive leh! Somemore he said his bills are $200-$300?? I wonder where he dial to??!

*Still feel a little irritated because he seemed to blamed his not being able to dial to India on me and sort of expect me to solve it and also he questioned me on like his $200-$300 phone bills like how would I know??! But I understand his frustrations just that some feelings are natural. Lol I can never be a saint* P.S Bleh he nv pick up PK's call.

There is this number on my phone which I named "Blacklist."

The reason being that he has been calling repeatedly for the past few weeks at late hours like 12 midnight or 1am. I have answered the 1st few calls and told him that it is the wrong number. He is trying to dial to India. But still he calls. Since then I didn't answer any of his calls until tonight.

He called like 10 times tonight. I picked up on the 9th call and blasted at him.

"Please stop calling this number. I have told you that this is the wrong number and this is a Singapore phone number."

And then he said, "I am not playing a prank. Seriously I am trying to call my wife in India. The phone number is 91xxxxxx 335."

But I was still in the heated up mood and said coldly, "this is a Singapore phone. I don't know how to dial to India."

Then he said, "I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Sorry."

Once I hanged up the phone, I started to feel bad. And then he started to call again but I didnt answer. That was the last call.

I started to think, he came to Singapore all alone and for the past few weeks has been calling my number, which means he hasn't been able to call him wife at all. So both party cant get each other, both party worry about each other. & like PK says, for something like IDD so easy to google for in like one min, or perhaps just ask his friends, it probably means that the person has internet/no friends. Also he is probably a low pay worker. For something we take so much for granted, I guess we need to step back and take a wider look. My impatience has a lot to do with "he should know how to make an IDD call correctly" and "can he stop calling?". I guess sometimes we need to think of how some people might not be as information-savvy as us.

So I called him back but he didnt answer. Wanted to tell him how to call to India with PK's IDD search results. End up I sent a sms to him. See how bah. PK said if he didnt reply or anything, he will call him. In his words - "mebbe drop him a call. and make a smile ~". I wonder how many people will think his way. I know many people who are super racist and probably think he is crazy. But if everyone can think like him, the world will definitely be a better place. Can you remember the times you were so grateful with a stranger's help? We are not that superior, there are times we need help from others too.

If only, at the very first call, I had thought of helping him to dial to India. It will probably save a lot of heartache and endless dialings for him. And it probably will just take one min of my time.

你你你.........紅杏出牆 !!!

2008-04-13T23:17:00.002+08:00

Happy ^^

2008-04-10T15:14:00.007+08:00

Yay I got a new pc! D-I-Y one ok~ Thanks to PK and my brother for all the help ^^ It's really quite fun to chose the parts and then watch the whole computer setup fall into places. It's actually quite simple and yet difficult at the same time. I have always wanted to build a pc by myself :P

Whole setup is like less than $800 w/o monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers/software.

This is what I bought:
Palit N73PV + Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6750
2 x Kingston DDR2-667 2GB
Seagate SataII 500GB Hard disk
LG 20X SataII Super Multi DVD Writer
Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 460W
Cooler Master Elite 330 Casing

Yay and this means I no longer need to ask my brother to lend me his computer.. or disturb him in his sleep because I need to use the computer in his room.. Then dont dare to play games/videos etc lest my brother say I am not working why need to use his comp.. he is already quite irritated I have to keep using his computer even though he has a lappie and a desktop (think he also happy I got my own comp!). And so now I can use the computer for non-work purpose like watching Life Made Simple dvd. And it also means I can install whatever programmes/games I want~ Set my own bookmark links on firefox~ Can save my password.. Can go in facebook.. Can use the printer easily (bro computer uses my laptop *now spoilt* to connect to the printer in the living room).. It feels so good to have my own computer!! Whee! Lala~

:)

:(

2008-04-03T00:40:00.003+08:00

Lappie spoil + somehow brother's computer cant seem to access facebook + dont want to disturb brother using computer.

So yah you will see me online less often now.

(I need a new computer!)

(Probably will reply sms more often now haha.)

Flooded!

黃城夜韻

2008-03-10T00:15:00.005+08:00

剛剛看了黃城夜韻.
距離畢業已經五年了.
距離第一次看黃城也要十年了吧.
不記得是否看了毎一年.
但今年應該是畢業後看過的比較好的一出.
第三部戏真的是演出的高潮.
至少吸引了我的注意力和興趣.
X 演得很好.
喜歡整個布景.
再來看到道具組恢復了以往的氣勢.
還有黃城人在觀眾席起立唱著黃城的歌.
看到了原來的感動.

但.
凡是都要有但是.
我不喜歡第一出的劇情.
太過煽情了吧.
不喜歡第二出的燈光.
也太奇怪了.
連我不懂燈光的人都覺得某些燈是不需要的.
劇情也還好而已.
但結尾不錯.
還有也不喜歡在我後面很吵的人.
一直喊.
我想我老了.
他們竟然還在休息時吃薯片.
身為曾經是黃城的人還做出這樣不尊敬劇場的動作,
真為他們感到可恥.
當然還有还了錢沒有票的事情.

看來打起來不喜歡的東西多過喜歡的.
0_O~

有趣的是,
今年宣傳竟然卖起花來.
太商業化了.
慶幸我已不是宣傳的.
-_-!

Cant believe we so SUAY to have such neighbours.

2008-03-05T22:17:00.004+08:00

We just received this stupid court order because this irritating neighbour complained to the court that "over the years" we leave empty pots and plants around the corridor and they had "difficulty passing through".

Come on lar, they only moved in like a year plus ago and since then already complained about don't know how many people. We have lived here for almost 20 years and nothing happened. That is until they came.

And they must be super FAT to have difficulty passing through.

Oh and they used the stupid dengue fever and mosquito breeding ground reason too. So maybe our whole block, no whole neighbourhood no need to plant plants lar.

They made this super huge fuss just before my sister wedding. We were clearing out stuff from the house to make the house tidy, so we left some of the things outside. And then they complained. It was just for this one night and its not like we left it there for days or weeks.

True my dad temper is not good, but he was packing stuff till late at night and then in the morning some idiot come and complain who will be in a good mood? So they had this quarrel. And guess what? They called the police.

And now? This court order. WTH!!

Btw you have to flip the book.

Too big to embed it here. Whatever. Though it is a premade script it still took me super long to figure out the whole thing. At least it is something finally accomplished. Been wanting to create that for very long.

And I animated the photos I took with the KU people at macs just for fun. Haha. I bet MH is glad I did not take with her and hence no her photos being publicized to the whole world. Heh.

Imitating a mother scolding daughter.

Look at PQ tongue and my constipated look.

If I could take you away
Pretend I was queen
What would you say
Would you think I'm unreal
'Cause everybody's got their way I should feel

Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real
Want to be your everything

Everything...

Everything's falling, and I am included in that
Oh, how I try to be just okay
Yeah, but all I ever really wanted
Was a little piece of you

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

Everything will be alright
If you just stay the night
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love

人有三急哪三急？

2008-02-24T15:12:00.006+08:00

我还记得我和慧瑜在教室外问余老师: “人有三急，三急到底是什么？”
当时好似猜了许多，后来也不了了之。
今天心血来潮就google了一下：

各种说法不一
三急自然为:饿之急---渴之急---上厕所之急

急这个字更严谨地来说应当打上引号,是引用过程中的偷换概念, 现在“人有三急”多用来指饮食或排泄问题等等,说法不同。这种引用倒也形象贴切，无可厚非。

而有史可查的真正说法是“人有三疾”。三疾分别为“狂”（狂妄）、“矜”（矜持）和“愚”（愚昧），出自于《论语·阳货》：“子曰：古者民有三疾,今也或是之亡也。古之狂也肆,今之狂也荡;古之矜也廉,今之矜也忿戾;古之愚也直,今之愚也诈而已矣。”
这句话是孔子对上古淳厚人心的赞颂,也是对于当时“世风日下，人心不古”的社会状况发出的感叹。

也有另外几种说法：
1)根据古书上所记载人有三急是：
上厕所急。结婚入洞房急。老婆在里面生孩子你在外面等急。
(2)人有三急,所谓三急,是说人一天必须要的:
尿急,(小便)
便急,(大便)
屁急.
有时是憋不住的.所以称为三急.
(3):洞房,生子,如厕
(4): 还有一种说法就是“尿急，屎急，性急”

现在对三急在新时期又赋予了新的内涵，叫做1、考上大学交不起学费没钱念书急；2、人有病治不起等着死全家干着急；3、儿子要结婚，买不起房子媳妇要跑，你说急不急，老三急，现在过时了，“有了尿就可以撒吗？没厕所当街也可以吗？有了屁随时随地就可以放吗？”

1，拉肚子赶上厕所有人----一急；
2，生孩子赶上老婆难产----二急；
3，要住院赶上手里没钱----三急。

人有三急：
内急——上厕所，放到谁身上都急，拖不得。
进洞房——春宵一刻值千金啊，你说急不急？不急说明有问题。
生小孩——瓜熟蒂落，小孩在娘胎里发育成熟以后，说生就要生，什么都不等的。如果事前没有做好接生的准备，你说急不急？急死人。

Marriage: Before and After

2008-02-04T22:11:00.000+08:00

Before the marriage:
He: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.
She: Do you want me to leave?
He: NO! Don’t even think about it.
She: Do you love me?
He: Of course!
She: Have you ever cheated on me?
He: NO! Why you even asking?
She: Will you kiss me?
He: Yes!
She: Will you hit me?
He: No way! I’m not such kind of person!
She: Can I trust you?

So What is it After Marriage? Try reading it from the bottom =D

好久沒有到老人院之類的地方去了. 最後一次去好似是中學時代, 因為要完成CIP而去的. 這一次呢? 去了殘障人士之家. 是為臨時工而去的. 去的時候, 完全不知道工作性質, 只知道是要去pack goodie bags 和幫忙一些瑣碎的事. Pack goodie bags 的時候, 突然想起了在 Seaworld 時, 跑去Discovery Cove 做 packing 的工作. 真的好懷念. Ok 這不是重點. 哈哈.

後來才發現, 原來會有藝人來和這些殘障人士慶祝新年. 以前在電視上看到這種藝人去老人院關懷老人之類的節目時就覺得好假. 可是在現場, 我被感動了. 看著這些藝人很賣力地娛樂大家, 在看看這些殘障人士開心的臉孔, 我突然間覺得就算這是在搞宣傳也好, 在顯現愛心也好, 重點是這些殘障人士的笑容都不假. 印象深刻的是Andrea De Cruz. 我一直看到她跑來跑去拿水給他們喝, 又和他們聊天拍照, 玩遊戲時也盡力地把氣氛搞起來. 當然其他人也是. 細心的為他們開瓶子, 罐子, 又找來吸管, 不停的耍宝, 煮東西, 將食物剪成小塊點, 分派禮物不讓有人落單..

這些殘障人士, 他們看到藝人來了很開心. 但看到我們也很開心. 有一個, 在拍照時候突然拉著我的手說謝謝, 謝謝我們來到這裡, 還祝我在新的一年一切順利. 在那一刻, 我感動了. 真的. 他們的快乐好簡單. 我也沒有做甚麼. 其實我心里想的是, 他們只要藝人來和他們說話就好了, 也根本不需要我們.. 但她就這樣拉著我的手, 要和我一同拍大合照. 其實我的原意是跑得遠遠的, 反正自己不是藝人, 也不是贊助商派來的人. 我們的位置在很後面, 當一大堆相機卡嚓卡嚓不停時, 我還在想 "我們真的會被拍進去嗎?" 因為藝人都在前方, 所以一定是對準他們拍, 而其餘的人也只是背景吧. 然後他們要拍攝大家一起說"新年快樂", 拍了好多次, 但毎一次我身旁的她都很盡力很開心地喊著. 前面的人也是, 就算咬字不清, 還是盡力地說出了那四個字. 我想, 有沒有被拍到, 那是次要吧.

當然.. 還不忘和喜歡的藝人拍照! 哈哈..

林湘萍 Yvonne! 好美!

OMG 是王沺裁 Thomas!
哈哈他拍完照後要求看照片, 然後說了句 "頭髮就是這樣了"~
有沒有看到他的手? 哈哈好有力喔~
Ok.. 該停止發花痴了..

The thing about Toypography is, that Japanese expressions can be transformed into English expressions of the same meaning.

Baaa.. it's time for games! Lets form a (sheep) circle!

2008-01-27T03:32:00.000+08:00

這樣就足夠了.

2008-01-23T02:17:00.000+08:00

這些日子.

2008-01-15T00:40:00.001+08:00

從台灣回來後便一直過著顛倒的生活.
用電腦至凌晨四五點.
然後看小說.
讀完了三本書!
廳著蘇打綠的CD入睡.
醒來看手錶也已是下午兩三點了.
更誇張的是有時近下午五點了.
-_-!

現在不斷的在啃drama.
已經看完了魔女由熙, Hana Yori Dango.
更是在這幾天看完三十一集的流星花園2.
三十一集真不是蓋的.
佩服編劇的想像力.
可以有那麼多篇外篇.
還好接下來要看的 Hana Yori Dango 2 只有十一集.
突然間也好想再重看流星花園.
道明寺和花澤類的魅力真是不能擋!
還有也在追看黃金路.

不是死拼drama.
就是看別人的部落閣.
或玩著facebook里的無聊applications.
要不就是亂游來游去.
很少上MSN.
就算有也只是appear offline.
我就是AS.
怎麼樣?

現在的我處無業當中.
可也不會太積極找工.
就只在網上寄了幾份履歷表.
可也石沉大海.
現在在等career fair 或新年大家拿了花紅後辭職的良機.
問我要甚麼工?
最好是能出國的工!
叫我駐守海外我也不介意.
希望能是旅遊業或是 airline industry 或是 hotel & hospitality 之類的工作.
可是好多我有興趣的工都需要experience.
真是我挑工作.
工作挑我.

當然也有出去.
最先碰面的是KU的朋友.
我們去騎腳車!
從沒騎過那麼遠.
騎著騎著就看到了彰宜機場!
再騎下去就能到Changi Beach 了.
那是我下次的目標!
還有 night cycling!
一路上風景真的很美.
又安靜.
因為通常很少人會騎那麼遠.

最難忘的是.
那麼久沒見.
Ying Er 還是如此狼狽.
哈哈.
看我們都笑翻了.

然後還跟Terry出去吃晚飯.
想不到我們的友誼十年了.
中間發生了這麼多事.
很不可思議我們現在的相處那麼舒服.
而且他也成熟了許多.
也有穩定的女友.
真是為他開心.
可恨的是.
我竟然忘了把美國帶回來的禮物交給他!

然後還有和HT碰面.
沒有和Terry三個人約在一起.
因為他們兩人的時間不配合.
希望有機會在Terry飛回澳洲之前我們三人碰面.
我們好久沒有三個人一去吃飯了!
最後一次是在我到美國之前.
半年了!
其實也好久沒見HT.
雖然兩人都在新加坡.
可她還是我的愛人啊!
哈哈.
她說她不記得我們為甚麼會那麼好.
我也不記得了.
總之我們的關係很奇妙.
就算是幾個月沒見.
我們依然那麼好.
這就是我們的默契.

還有和一個在越南認識的朋友碰面.
他喜歡旅遊和拍照.
因為我又遲到了而且還有做工.
所以分享照片變得好匆忙.
這是在越南游Mekong River時他為我照的.

還有我們兩人的合照.

再來.
還有去工作.
回來之後就只打那麼一次工.
我快破產了!
尤其是在臺灣花了超多錢.
比較兩個旅遊的花費:

越南 (七天)
機票 - S$300
消費 - USD160

臺灣 (九天)
機票 - S$435
消費 - S$1100

!!!!
差好多~

問我為甚麼沒貼兩次旅遊的照片?
因為我..
懶!
我又太愛拍照.
還好我旅遊之前有買多一張 512MB的 memory card.
還帶了128 和 256MB 的 memory sticks.
要不不知怎麼活.
問為甚麼是512MB而不是1GB或2GB.
因為本小姐的相機是古董.
不能support 1GB.
還我翻遍了Sim Lim 找了好久才找到.
所以重點是太多照片了.
我等整理好照片再上载.
但我還是很懶.
特別是在家里.
家里的我總是特懶.

我還得把電腦里的資料整理好.
然後再把所有CD/DVD catalog 起來.
整理房間.
先是這樣了.

可我毎天起床就是開電腦看drama.
所以有時覺得像個廢人.
但是才出去幾天就覺得還是待在家里好.
待在家裡又覺得無聊.
矛盾也.

好吧.
恭喜我.
連續兩天有寫部落閣.
而且還是長篇大論.
而起還有很多照片.

哈哈.
好了.
我去看 Hana Yori Dango 2 了!

這一天.

2008-01-14T01:30:00.000+08:00

总是喜歡我們相處的方式.

去吃了上次沒吃成的 Kushinbo.
然後無話不說.
PK 总是可以吐出很深澳的問題或假設.
而Cheryl总是能談天說地.
很舒服.
還偷聽別人說話玩遊戲.
可愛的一對當然也知道我們在偷看他們.
有趣.

然後逛街.
拼命拿女裝給PK "試穿".
笑死一個外地來的女顧客.
還說了句 "looks nice".
最後更是介紹了件花裙子給PK.
超爆笑.

另一間店.
我看中了一件男性袖衫.
五分鐘後真有位男士也看中同一件.
在兩人的唆使下.
我真的去試穿了.
出來時他們說那個男的在隔壁的更衣室換同一件袖衫.
-_-!
可惜他沒有穿出來.
要不然一定是很好笑的"情侶裝"

噴水池.
這是令我們的聰明的PK先生也傷腦筋的噴水池.
因為它會在噴出的水中呈現一粒粒的東東.
更奇怪的是還能上下更動.
我們研究了好久.
我猜那可能不是水.
但它還會停了再啟動.
而這個動作確定了那是水.
後來我猜氣泡.
PK 說有可能.
然後解釋了一堆.
結果發現旁邊也百思不解的人們.
也在偷廳PK說大道理.

我們還自拍了幾張這神奇的噴水池.
Cheryl 用她的書包墊高了照相機.
於是我們在沒有別人的幫助下拍下了這張照片:

很棒吧!

又另一件店.
這件店有分男女部門.
我們在男士部門逛著.
我和Cheryl各都看中了男性袖衫.
就去換啊.
反正試衣是免費的.
結果出來時嚇壞了店員.
不好意思地對我們說那是男士專用得更衣室.
超尷尬.
趕緊換回去.
出來是那名店員還問我們 "how is it?"
Cheryl 回答 "very good".
而且是真的挺和穿的.

後來打算去找 forever busy 的 MY.
在半路被美容師攔截.
抽了一下所謂的 lucky draw.
便被拉去聽了一番話.
說我的皮膚黯淡有黑眼圈的問題.
可惜一番唇舌碰到兩個不做 facial 的女生無效啊.
買一送一也沒用.

繼續尋找MY也.
一路上碰見了蜗牛家族!
不是兩三只.

而是很多很多!

還在想它們怎麼會在那裡.
而且還有好多像是剛出生的.

走啊走啊.
好不幸的是我的包包竟然斷了!
-_- 才剛買的!
然後就勉強提著.

又走啊走.
終於到了MY工作的地方.
假裝客人去問他東西.
他愣了一會兒才回過神發現是我們.
情景很像上一次.
雖然是不同地方.
可憐啊.
看他的工作時間:
Monday to Sunday 11AM to 9PM.
天啊!
但其實他還是有休假的.
大忙人!
後來他接了個電話.
我們便悄悄溜走.

溜去了麥當勞.
用了吃Kushinbo 找回的零錢.
買了三個五毛錢的雪糕.
然後又無所不談.
順便休息我疲累的雙腿.
PK 點出了硬幣在1987 還是1988 年後的不同.
這是我從沒注意過的小細節.
也是喜歡與PK說話的原因只一.
总會有意想不到的收獲.

然後我們又到MY店去告別.
但這一告別便是半小時.
我們考驗了MY對商品的認識和位置.
他真的已經全銘記在心了.
後來有個顧客問了他一些問題.
我們告訴他那顧客是演員.
然後他大吃一驚.
哈哈.

可惜Cheryl 得回去趕報告.
我們也累了一整天.
所以無法陪 MY 等到他的 break 一起出去.
不過我們想好了.
以後就直接打電話給他的公司.
然後在晚上時分才去找他一起吃晚餐.

就醬了.
期待下一次的約會.

好難想像我們因為在大學里同一組所以變得那麼close.
這是難得的緣分.

這一天.
是上個禮拜四.
我仍念念不忘.

這就是我們.

Worst Nightmare of a Student

2007-12-04T22:48:00.000+08:00

Just 5 hours before exams today, I was fully prepared.

"The first time in history I am ahead of time", I thought.

And then I realized I was fully prepared yes, but for the wrong paper. I had prepared for tomorrow's paper instead. Ah! Horrors of horrors!

For the first time ever, I prepared wrongly for an exam.

To think I was still trying to book tickets for Vietnam (but didnt manage to do so bcos Jetstar system screw up and damn it the price increased by freaking $100 for that same flight when I just checked! WTH! Also hope it wont charge me for that 3 failed signups. -_-!)

Ok so I had 5 hours to eat, travel to school and study for a subject which I didnt really touch. Because being me, whose middle name is last minute, I thought I had time to cram in all by tonight. Well now I have all the time tonight, because for the first time, I finished studying like a day before and hence I am now blogging. I also thought I need not sleep tonight and will burn midnight oil but it turns out I am so wrong. -_-!

Freaking lucky that I went to recheck the time again (because afraid I will miss an exam and hence not able to grad). I have checked the timings like a million time, but never match it to the subjects because I was so confident I had the sequence right. So its heng that this time I looked and saw my big big mistake. Also super heng that it is open book. And even more heng that as what my friend say - got study no study also not much difference. And heng heng also I never got the timing wrong, I will cry if I missed my exam sia. I can't imagine how bad it will be if after I set off then know about the mistake - or worst, if I only know at the venue at the time when the exam start - never study and no notes. Ahh the worst nightmare of a student sia.

So I managed to cram my studying in like 5 hours somehow. When I planned for like almost 24 hours of no sleeping to finish it. Of course I didnt finish! But its over now! Yay. Actually its quite ironic that I studied wrongly because I have a whole full week to prepare for both papers. But the other one took me some time to finish all 11 week of webcasts and readings on top of working, facebooking and desperate housewives 3. Actually for tmr paper I think I worked the hardest for it, despite it being open book and as a gem, I started the readings before even my first paper. So I took like almost 2 week for it. My other gem only took me like one day because of previous CAs covering all already, but I think I screw up on that but nvm can s/u! Then today paper I did start 2 chapters before time plus 5 hours of cram studying.

Last paper! In like 16 hours or so I will be free from school ^^ No more exams and worries that I will miss it. (Unless I fail but choy!)

Going to sleep. Weird that I got time to sleep today.

You don't need a passport to get here.

走过的路

2007-11-23T16:27:00.000+08:00

作词：蔡健雅作曲：蔡健雅

曾拥有过的这一切都可能在一瞬间全都消失
曾最让我感动的事都可能经过时间而被遗忘
也许我不对不够认真

曾经我相信只有他是我在这世界上最爱的人
但相信不代表永刻人总会有喜新厌旧的时刻
也许我不懂想要的爱
也许因为不懂才一再的受伤害

直到现在走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福爱过恨过走过的路
很多感触或许在一个人散步时心中还会回顾
只希望自己能走出片天空勇敢的走到未来

曾经被辜负过的心是可以重新来过找回勇气
生命中的成功失败也许总有一天我才会明白
谁会告诉我什么是对
懂还是不懂只要不要被打败

直到现在走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福爱过恨过走过的路
很多感触或许在一个人散步时心中还会回顾
只希望自己能走出片天空勇敢的走到未来

遗憾别过度分析会伤忆期待别捆绑自己会失望
简单的来说我想要的并不多
不需要完美只要能与众不同

直到现在走过的路
有些心酸辛苦但至少有些小幸福爱过恨过走过的路
太多感触常在你最失落的时候让人想不开
想逃想躲但知道应该勇敢的走到未来
勇敢的走到未来

Don McLean

Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colours on the snowy linen land

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds and violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artists' loving hand

Now I understand
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
But still your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Now I think I know
What you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen
They're not listening still
Perhaps they never will.

Heard this song before but never did know the meaning behind this song until now. Love it. It's my ringtone now~

v-rin or vern. whatever you call it.

2007-09-30T13:26:00.000+08:00

v-r-y-n

Alot of people have asked what does the four letter stands for.
Actually it stands for nothing.

It just four letters I have put together, simply because they look nice together.

It's a name, a name I created for NM2208 module, because I didn't wanted to use my real name.

For my assignment. I prefer the top one.

Also for the assignment, but done wrongly. But I still like it.

I dont really use this name, except for facebook/msn, & only JTA peeps know me as Vryn. Told them I didn't exactly know how to pronounce the name, and they came up with v-rin or vern as a way of calling me.

And recently when I was bored, I surfed for the name. Presto I came upon Terence Koh (not Goh) blog and found this: "Yi Eng, whose English name Vryn is cool enough for me to want to name my daughter just that, and whose name was picked from her own English project, concerning names." Haha even though some info is wrong, at least someone thinks my name is cool. Lolz.

But think Audrey will prefer my real name. In an email after I signed off as Vryn, she had this in her reply: "PS: you will always be yieng to me lor. =)"

So this is the story of v-r-y-n.

did you see my little fish?
