I am Apple Red

You Are Apple Red

You're never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you're a ton of fun. And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial. Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people - to understand them well. However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you.

What Color Red Are You?

I'm not very sure how true this test describe me.

What do you think?

无题

我还是老样子，说好要清早起床吃早餐，结果起床的时候还是10点钟了。

洗刷完毕，我像往常步行到附近的商场，心想要吃麦叔叔的早餐呢，还是鸡餐的早餐，还是Burger King的。没想到，一踏足进商场，竟是人山人海的情景。仿佛周围的人们唯一的消遣就是这座商场，周日的早上就来到这里消磨时光。

我以为我可以安安静静吃早餐，可是周围的小孩啊大人啊，哭闹笑骂，沉静就这样被破坏了。

有时候我坐下来想想，就会越觉得自己并不属于这个地方。在这里住了有五、六年吧，还仍然向往可以放慢步伐。一个小小的小岛，仿佛没有一片可以让我安静的地方，仿佛没有一片可以找到纯朴的地方。

旅行变成了我最期待的事情，摄影变成了我心灵的一种寄托。曾经有人告诉我，我的照片看起来有点寂寞。可能吧！在这个小岛，谁不寂寞？只是有人承认，有人不。

最近我又开始考虑出走，可能，明年、后年你就再也不会在小岛找到我。

The Sunset Test

You Crave a Blissful Life

Your dream is to live a light hearted, carefree life. You don't want to be bogged down by stress. You'd like to recapture some of the playfulness and innocence you had as a child. You believe that life should be about celebrations and fun. The world needs more happiness. You want to focus on the positive and stay optimistic. It's too easy to get depressed.

The Sunset Test

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

This movie, can be described as peaceful like what Yee Hau did.

The movie started with Benjamin being born like an old man. Doctor diagnosed Benjamin, and said he won't be able to live long. But as years go by, Benjamin's mother celebrated his birthdays thinking they were going to be the last, every year. However, miracles do happen in our lives, Benjamin lived through and got younger and younger every year.

The show moved on quite slow, but throughout the movie, you won't feel bored at all. I didn't even realize it was almost 3 hours. I like especially the ending of the movie, I think the ending of how they put the characters of the movie together with the most important theme was brilliant. Especially the clock. I like the cinematography.

Will Brad Pitt win the best leading actor in Oscar? I think he won't. I haven't watched all the movies that were nominated this year. But I doubt he can be better than Sean Penn. Seriously, Sean Penn vs Brad Pitt, for sure, Sean Penn. How about other actors? Seriously, I am not in the place to judge. I didn't watch them at all.

However, Brad Pitt and Cate Blancett really did very well. And a side note, Brad Pitt is still sooooooooo good looking! I'm liking him again :P

It is definitely a show that worth a watch!

I Just HATE Announcement Nowadays..

Annoucement: 5% pay cut!

Nowadays, announcements mean bad news. I hate announcement.

I know life is meant to have some hiccups occasionally, it is how the creator (I don't have a God) test our ability, capability and endurance.

But, just for once, can you please allow me to do something I want in my own blog space? I know I seldom spell this word, I hardly have this word coming out from my mouth...

FUCK! I really do not know how the hell I'm going to cope with anything which is coming after this. Probably something even worse that I never thought of when I first graduated! Fucking bad way to start a day! ARGH!!!!

On the bright side, I am still keeping my job. I am starting to look around for part time that can help me to pay my bills. I am starting to get prepared.

Live goes on, I still have my family, my boyfriend, my good friends to support me! Time is tough, that is how I grow stronger!

我的第一次

每个人都有第一次。第一次发生前，总是坐立不安，有点兴奋，也有点不知所措，不知道自己在那一刻可否应付……到了那一刻，更加期待……

我的第一次，发生在今天。

教补习啦！

真没想到，我都有今天啦。以前大四的时候曾经想教补习，可是懒惰加上大四的时候功课比较忙，省点用钱我还是可以过活，所以将错就错，就这样过了一年。

工作一年以后，发现姐姐说得对，且爸爸和她都正在树立好榜样，所以就开始向为自己铺路，看看有什么适合我的，好让我不小心被人裁了还有饭吃。可是正如我上回所说的，人没有到紧要关头，都不会着急。好像我妈妈说的，屎到了才挖粪坑。我正是这样的人。

好了，经济真得非常不景气了，我才来教补习。虽然赚得不多，其实有点骑驴找马的感觉。希望有份更高新的，或者是我兴趣的，那是最好的咯！

最近想得看得做得都很多，渐渐的在把自己希望做到的事情改为行动。虽然我知道不会这么快有成果，要有耐心，可是，心动总是不如行动。现在，有行动就很好了！对吗？

大家，加油喔！让我们在低潮的时候，创造一番奇迹！（讲到这样肉麻，很像日剧的对白！）

YouTube Symphony

Wei Jie had recommended this to me last week. I love it!

I always like Tan Dun, since I watched one of his interview with Lu Yu, I thought he's cute and romantic :P

The music is my type of liking, merry and happy ending, and a bit "cartoony". I can't explain, but somehow, the image of a flock of animals running around, with greenery well grown, blue sky, wide horizon, river flowing... They just appeared! I guess I watched too much cartoons.

Even youtube can have a symphony, I think nothing is impossible. Who would have thought youtube could create a symphony of their own few years back? I guess we should never afraid of having dreams.

Dream, and don't afraid to dream big!

The OId School Style

我是挺old school的，在某些事情上。比如说，寄信。

庆幸我有一班像我一样old school的朋友，我们还是邮差的好朋友。虽然写信的已经越来越少，可是生日卡片，节日的卡片，还有旅游的时候所寄的明信片，还是少不了。在家里的，和在新加坡收集着的卡片及信件，都是我贵重的珍藏。真的，这个年代有得收信的人实在是不多了。

今晚，我再次把一张生日卡轻轻的密封，寄给你。（你自己知道你是谁啦！）

Bored... Recharged... Bored... Recharged...

I admit, I don't have much patience in a lot of things. I couldn't stand too much routine works, I get bored easily too. Probably that's why I get addicted to Mythbusters, they have new stuffs all the time!

Economy down turn has sneaking into my work. I wouldn't say things are not coming in at all, but new things don't come in a lot. It's more of piling up some routine or follow up stuffs rather than new things. I started to get bored, not motivated etc.

Fortunately for me, I found new stuffs to play around! Yeah! In the next few months or so, please talk everything in Nano scale with me, I'm going into nano world~

I get a lil excited about all these.

Man! Now I found the "root cause" of me being lazy for the past weeks!

I'm all recharged now :P

三岁定八十

刚刚看完姐姐的部落，发现她不知道发什么神经，受什么刺激，长篇大论，啰里啰唆。可这篇文章却让我拍案叫绝，猛点头赞成。（即使在这里“不小心”把小时候的暴力行为公布天下，我也在所不惜）

我也说不清是什么原因，我俩从小就没有女人味。我小时候有两大篮的玩具，有遥控汽车、小兵士、木积、刀刀抢枪……小男孩玩什么，我就玩什么。就是没有洋娃娃，没有Barbie。不是爸妈训练“有素”，也不是受人影响，就是天生如此。没有答案。

小时候没有女人味，长大就更加没有。我们从来不懂得花钱买名贵的衣服化妆品，我们也不明白为什么要花上百元买个名贵包包，然后每天担惊受怕。买了名贵的东西又害怕刮花，担心被偷，难听点说，就变成了物品的奴才。这种欲望，我永远不能明白。

如果男生看了这篇摇摇头说我没得救，那我告诉你，人各有志。不一定要每天扮靓靓出门见人才叫女人，不一定娇滴滴的才会有人喜欢。人最重要的是懂得做回最真的自己。

现在才知道困难

金融风暴！经济危机！公司裁员！

以前这些字眼，都只是报章上的新闻，与我总是没有太大的关系。现在情况不一样了，每则裁员减薪的新闻，都搞到我惊心胆跳。每天上班都有不同的谣言，从来没人确定哪个是真的，总是等到最后一分钟，管理层才向大家宣布。不过，消息总是来得这么“轻易”。仿佛如果他们越是做得轻手轻脚，我们就会没有痛楚。

大约一年之前被姐姐训了一顿，就开始寻找自己可以有什么Secondary Income。不过人总是这样，火没烧到眉头都是不会急，东挑西选，这个不能那个不要。结果，我还没找到，经济风暴就这样在公司里卷了起来。现在，不敢太挑了。

犯溅！现在真的是非常担心起来。

妈妈常说我从小到大都很幸运，我希望妈妈说的是真的。

Happy Chinese New Year!

It's another year of tiring but happy Chinese New Year.

Just came back from home to Singapore yesterday evening. I have not recovered from my tiredness, still zombie-ing for the whole day today, with my eyes are red and swollen. I thought I was going to sleep anytime!

But all these are worth to suffer because I've met up with all the old friends, some primary school mates and my primary school teacher (an annual event on Chu 3); my U6P1 mates at Cikgu Chua's house (an annual even on Chu 4); my gang from all over the world to meet up every year to chat all night long and can still continue on the next day!; We managed to farewell our beloved Kia Hooi before she fly to China on March... Gonna miss her so much; Friends whom I lost track with for so many years (Yin Eie and Su Hui); Hui Nee who came back for CNY after so many years she spent in USA; Soon Oo and Tyy Ling, Cindy, Saik Yuan the usual meet up to catch up with JSCO progress... All these, which only happened once a year, or even once in many years, really worth my time and energy!

Of course we played "Mathematic Games" at my Ah Ma's place too! This is obviously a very good Chinese Tradition :P And we have Matthew, the 3 year old cousin to play around with. Ah Kim's expecting for a second child, Ah Ma's house is going to be so merry next year on CNY!

I was lazy to take photos this year, but it's ok, because my friends did their job to take the photos for us, so I still have some to keep as memories.

Learned a thing or two about myself from friends too. Well, guess I haven't been a very good person (that's not what they said, but that's what I read behind the message :P). I think so.

Happy Chinese New Year everybody! This is going to be a tough year, let's work hard to meet all the challenges ahead! And don't forget to dream big!
(I dreamt small about the 6D we bought, that's why we never won :P)
