2月29日

今天是特别的日子,因为,四年仅只于一次。

有位朋友问我,我们是否为了这个多出来的一天庆祝一下?我想想,不知道该怎么回答。应不应该呢?

你庆祝了吗?究竟世上有无人庆祝这么一天?

忘记

多少次,我们忘了自己曾经拍桌子誓言自己想要达到的目标、想要做的事?你曾经有这种感觉吗?我坦言,有。

不知不觉已经工作了将近9个月,工作上还是一个跌跌撞撞,懵懵懂懂的“学生”。而工作后一直觉得生活还好,过得不错等等,结果就一不小心掉进了comfort zone。忘了毕业以后那些“伟大”的言论……

有时候周末我把自己窝在家里,搞自闭,搞孤僻。一个人在家里,也不说活,足不出户。周一开工显得闷闷的。有时候,我周末很忙,忙着和朋友出门,忙着做事,忙着安排活动,结果周一上班挺精神的。其实自己一直没发觉,直到那天和司彦聊天,才发觉我也有这种现象。是好事!

大概像我这种人,还是不适合自闭吧!:P

之前老是和朋友投诉salsa好难学,想放弃等等。现在头脑清醒,想想很不应该。既然学了就该把它完成。随随便便放弃!太不像话了!虽然不至于要学成可以上台表演,参加比赛。至少,学会一样东西,感觉是开心的。是吧?

我想,重要的事,永远不可以忘记如何鞭策自己。

近来的娱乐大事

一、全城关注陈冠希
我想说的,整件事情,陈冠希也是一位受害者。当所有人都等着edison出来道歉,大家似乎忘了,是谁的电脑里的资料被盗用?是谁的隐私彻底的被揭发?我不是特别同情这位小帅哥,只是社会似乎永远将受害人套在女性的身上。仿佛,女人天生就是受害的,被害的。不要误会,我也认为在这事件上,众位女星也是受害人,毕竟,他们的隐私,也这样彻底地被揭发于世人。
我个人认为,这些,都是他们的私生活,与我们无关。天底下不知有多少人,在年少时嗑药、滥交,这些人有无必要召开记者招待会说道歉?
该道歉的,该是那揭发照片的人吧!

二、肥姐离开人世
我并非想在这里假惺惺地说我特别难过,然后掉几滴眼泪。可是说真的,也有点说不出来的感觉。
不知道什么时候开始,好多艺人离开人世的消息一直笼罩着娱乐圈。我近年来已经很少盯着电视成长,所以啊,我的香港娱乐圈,还是停留在好久以前的年代。不知道哪一天,我扭开电视,我会惊讶得不知道,电视里的艺人,为何那样陌生?

Gastric Flu

I'm SICK again! This is not flu, it's gastric flu...

I had fever, I felt like I need to vomit (but due to empty stomach, totally nothing out of my mouth), I felt stomach ache... Totally taken down...

I had slept thoughout the whole day. I meant throughout the whole day! I came back from the clinic at Comtech on 10+, and I headed to my bed straightaway. Because I was feeling very cold, very tired, very painful on my stomach... I got fully out of the bed around 5pm, when Yee Hau brought me porridge. Of course, I did wake up in the middle for toilet and water.

After my breakfast-lunch-dinner, I checked some emails in the living room. And guess what, I slept again... Yee Hau checked on me around 10pm, he found that I was still having fever. So he woke me up, bought a loft of Gardinia bread for me so that I can take my medicine. Then, I slept again... Till this morning.

I am still on MC today. Cause I didn't feel good still when I woke up this morning, the stomach was still pretty disturbed. But I guess I feel better now, hopefully I can run and jump fully tomorrow! :P

I don't know why... I fall sick easily since I started to work. Why? I hope I have the answer...

Random Scribble

Well well... Look at the previous update, I realized I haven't updated my blog with all my CNY photos. And the half way done FRIENDSHIP video was still kept aside in my computer without further editing though the photos and music and words are properly laid out. I am simply lazy!

To recap what I have done after leaving home for CNY celebration... I took a day off and rest at home. And I edited some photos that I collected from friends and my siblings, and tried to rearrange the photos I had with my gang of friends to send as a Vday present to them (but remain kept in my pc...).

On Vday, we didn't intend to celebrate. But at the end of it, he still surprised me with asking me out suddenly... And hence paying quite a few bucks for cab fare and etc. But well, we didn't really send flowers and gift, instead we lepak around the city until we're very tired. I didn't even dressed up for that particular "date" as I wasn't expecting any... And I brought swim suit to work so that I can swim after work. Hahaha!

Then on weekends... I spent my time, reading Harry Potter that I got from Han Chean... Until Yee Hau complained that I neglected his existance on Sunday! Haha! He must be glad that I finished the book :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As for this week, I have 3 days "off from work". I have a 3 day course of "Lean Sigma" conducted by our division. Now that I know why it is called Lean Sigma, not "Lean Manufacturing", not "Six Sigma" like the courses that are offered outside. Because, the company combined some ideas from both of these, into another set of tools which are more related to our company. NOW I KNOW WHY!!!!

Throughout the course today, I can't help but thinking that the tools are more suitable and applicable to people who work in process line, and also some team leaders. As for me, I can't see the usage in the near future yet. I should think more about that and discuss with my manager when I'm back to work.

But things I realized from the course... Is that how stubborn a person can be... By directing all the tools and soft skills that are introduced into every little single negative things that his/her colleagues or more often managers had "done" to that person! I'm startled. I hope I do not need to deal with this kinda person, but nobody can run away from this, can't we?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lots of thought running through my mind now... But I think, the main points that I wanted to remind myself are:

  1. Be proactive! With that, it means take charge of things, work on understanding it, improving it without having people "poking" on you!
  2. Have some space in mind for changes. Change is the only constant. Don't be stubborn.
  3. Before you get angry, go back to the Question of what you try to achieve by shouting and pounding?! If that wouldn't change a thing, stop torturing your own body! :P

ナナ(NaNa)

昨晚,我看了这部由漫画改编成的日本影片,叫NANA。故事叙说两位有着相同名字,性格绝然不同的女孩,在偶然的机会相遇。随后,还成了室友。

其中一位娜娜,是个小镇的rock star。和团里的bass,莲,相爱。莲被另一个团给挖脚以后,娜娜也为了自我,而放弃了爱情。一心一意的,在东京想成为最出色的乐手。而另一个单纯的娜娜,从一个单纯的乡镇,为了寻找在东京的爱郎而来。后来,爱郎爱上了另一个女孩。两位娜娜,在爱情的挫败以后,互相扶持的一路走过。发展了一段,巩固的友谊。

电影确实有一些让人感动的画面。而一直浮现在我脑海里的,就是自我和爱情,你应该选择什么?有一天他若果真得到国外念书,我会因为自我而放弃这段感情吗?还是默默地等待吗?还是放弃一切,为了追随?我会选择哪一个?

两位娜娜的恋情,让我觉得,自己放弃的,比被别人夺去的,还要让人感伤。因为,那是你手上可以控制的,不能够将责任推到第三者的身上,只能够默默地承受,自己当天所作的选择。

告诉我,自我和爱情,你选择哪一样?

Bus Crash No More

I saw this link from Sock Hoai's MSN. So I clicked along.

It is a petition to our dearest Minister of Transportation regarding the accident at Slim River on 25th of Jan 2008 that claimed the life of Lee Nian Ning, Mohd. Zailani and Pang Boon Eng. Accidents like this have happened too often. A lot of us taking buses like this to go back home. How can the bus company and also the ministry of transportation neglect such a problem? There should be explanation on why the bus driver continues driving although, he had 13 summones!

I do not know how much this petition will help. But I do hope, you and me, please, sign the petition. The people upstairs need to be addressed!

Banana Pancake


一整天呆在客厅里看书,看得我的头都有点疼。晚餐时间到,又不想到外头。翻翻厨房里,发现还有材料做点banana pancake,于是就做了。虽然有点像早餐,可是管它呢!我喜欢就行。

在厨房里用慢火煎着刚刚搅拌好的材料,整个厨房都飘着蛋奶的香味。“屋友”从房里出来,不说一声的就出门去。我也特地别过头,不想正面招呼。孤僻的要命!难得周末不用entertain任何人,我就是这幅怪僻样!招不招呼已经不成问题,反正平时也没看见他们。

废话少说!把香蕉切成块,配上一点点的蜜糖。嗯……这个简单的晚餐,美味极了!

超级无敌草头人!

这是毓豪在大一的生日时送我的一份礼物。因为天生的惰性,我一直懒得在它的头上种些花花草草。直到上个星期,从实验室里像同事偷来了这些小草,这个可怜的小人儿才有机会长头发!呵呵!

就这样,这小小的草头人,静静地坐在客厅的一个角落,看着我每天的日常作息。

矛盾的周六

觉得一月的时间真的是过得飞快,当我还以十二月那种悠悠假期的心情对待一切的时候,当我还像过年的时候给自己做点一年之计……却看见爱媚的nickname。我才发现,一月过了。

还有几天就可以回家过新年,虽然期待,可是却没有很多的兴奋。大概是因为一月的工作比较忙碌,大概是因为新加坡一直都没有太多新年气氛……或者是,大概外头的心情都因为即将来临的经济萧条而变得灰沉沉……我和自己说,要存多点钱,要不有什么事情发生了,谁来救我。

长大了吧,终于都面临了社会的难题……

农历新年前的一个周末,我竟然一个人萧戚戚的在这里唉声叹气。很不像话!

一个周六,很想有人陪伴,又很想让自己的心灵静静的感受。很想出去走走,感受人气,却又不想拥挤。

我突然想念起大理来,那个悠悠的小镇,没有烦恼的地方。(房价很便宜的地方!!)
