香港乐坛最重要的人物——许冠杰
其实，一早就想写一些关于许冠杰的事，但是，就因为懒惰而一直耽搁下来。而现在，写他也是因为懒惰。哈哈哈！
ah sam可以说是粤语歌坛的创始者。如果不是他，我们今天或许还听着一些像粤剧一样的歌曲。难以想象！他的歌曲之所以受人欢迎，是因为旋律简单，很容易就朗朗上口。而且，歌词很有意义，皆是当时香港市民的心声。在人民生活最困苦的时候，有人为他们唱出自己的心声。这种歌曲，有理由红不起来吗？相信大家都应该对他的代表作有点熟悉，半斤八两、铁塔凌云、最紧要好玩、日本娃娃、最佳拍档等。
除了他的音乐，当然少不了他的电影。ah sam并不是很好的演员，看他那千篇一律的表情，你就知道他的演戏天分其实有限。（最喜欢看阿恩模仿他生气的样子）但是，纵使他的演技不好，他的电影还是大受欢迎。尤其80年代，许氏三兄弟的电影几乎每一部都是卖座电影。电影当中的诙谐也夹着一些对社会的讽刺，又是吸引观众的卖点。虽然，无可否认的，许氏三兄弟的电影都很好看，但我本人最喜爱的许冠杰电影还是最佳拍档！！！在家里，我们三姐弟可以不断的重温这部电影，而且，我们偶尔闲来没事做，还一起模仿电影里一些精彩的对白。许冠杰和麦嘉，简直就是最佳拍档！（可惜，我在youtube找不到我最爱的片段，恩，帮我！！）
除了电影和歌曲，ah sam的MTV就精彩咯！哈哈哈！他的歌词唱得什么，就会从MTV里表现出来。让我给你们介绍：最紧要好玩、制水歌（简直是经典！）、半斤八两、日本娃娃，你们不放在youtube找找看看。我写保单你们会捧腹大笑！
ah sam也是一位在我家，上上下下都喜爱的艺人。他的歌曲和电影，都曾经陪伴我们三姐弟长大。我相信，对很多人来说，亦是如此。所以，说许冠杰是香港娱乐界的经典人物，是一点都不过分。
最佳拍档

Not A Good Day!!
It's 3pm now and I'm only having my lunch while writing this post. I woke up early in the morning today, to go to school library. I photocopied my passport and later found that I lost my student pass. I was so panic that I called Ai Mei to help me to look for it in my drawer. And 5 minutes later, I found them in my bag...
By then, I was on the bus heading China Embassy to apply for visa. When I reached Tanglin Road, I was again panic! The queue to visa and passport application was sooooooooo FREAKINGLY long!! I can't see the main door of the embassy! All I knew was I was standing under the HOT SUN by the road with a bunch of people. It's already 10am and the Embassy closed on 11.30am for application. SHIT! I told myself, never mind, just queued, maybe they will extend the opening hours due to the traffic caused by the stupid labour day golden week.
Everybody was HOT, sweating, thirsty, panic, angry... But all we can do was follow the queue. After an hour, I started to see the main gate. So I was hoping that I can get into it before 11.30am. And yea, I got into the main gate. The lady in front of me and the young lad behind me were equally relief like me. But we're so DAMN WRONG!
When we got ouselves in front of the gate of the office, the security guards locked the door and SHOO-ed us off! I was very pissed off but I didn't know what to do. An old aunty accompanied by her daughter were even more pissed! The 70 year old lady had stood under the sun like me for more than one hour. And all we got is:"No more numbers! Come again tomorrow!!"
It was very chaotic in front of the gate. Some people tried to squeezed themselves into the gate, and I heard some of them shouting because the guards were forcing the gate to close. Some were shouting to the officers and guards. And some of them, like me and the lady in front, stood there helplessly and walked away.
When we left, there wasn't any officer out at the gate to tell people that the office had closed for applications. We being kind enough, informed the people in the queue. Same reactions all around the embassy...
I thought the officers could at least came out to the queue to count how many numbers they could handle and let the others go home. Instead of letting us queue under the HOT sun. The embassy had one whole week of holiday and I thought they could have been expecting this crowd today. But they chose to do nothing to this and continue their FREAKINGLY long lunch hour starts from 11.30am.
ARGH!
After that, I took a bus to Orchard as I planned, to look for presents to buy. But I couldn't find anything suitable and one hour later, I was hungry and suffering from headache. I didn't know what to eat as I was lepak-ing alone. Finally, I bought a pack of pasta and sauce from Cold Storage of Takashimaya and took a cab home. These are only things I bought from Orchard today.
Haiz... This is really not a very good day!

I'm a Lily!
| You Are A Lily |
 You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize. |
涵健，生日快乐！
其他的好朋友们，不要跟我喊不公平啊！
第一次在部落上祝朋友生日快乐。我忘了，但应该不会错，第一年没有给孙涵健寄生日卡。哈哈哈！从烧烤会回来，便给他打个电话，祝他愉快。他还真是蛮愉快！在和一群朋友庆祝吧。
涵健是我从小学一年级就认识的朋友。虽然，我对一年级的回忆很模糊，但是，四年级开始却是那么清晰。这么久的朋友，算是青梅竹马吗？哈哈哈！（希望涵健不要打我啦！）我们两个在一起，都是吵吵闹闹的，很少拿起电话可以好好聊天。要是我回家，拿着听筒大呼小叫很久，妈妈就会问：“涵健啊？”也可能因为是那么多年的朋友，我妈妈很清楚地记得，涵健每回新年就要吃肉干还有巧克力蛋糕，所以每年都不缺。
涵健除了是我的青梅竹马，还是我曾经的“笔友”。不只这样，我们曾经有绯闻。而且，至今我小学的老师还是一直说为什么我俩就是做不成男女朋友。这样的一个朋友，竟然一交就交了17年。
他这个人，两个字，好人！但是，很喜欢讲废话。所以才会搞得我们每次讲话非要大呼小叫不可！才不过是前天的事，我把房门关上后，装着耳机对着电脑，喊了将近一个钟头。还好最后他朋友把他拉出去了，要不然，我的喉咙可沙哑了！哈哈哈！
关于他，还有很多很多的事，简直就可以说不完。但是我现在可累了，就让我的gang友们，再comment处，帮我加油添醋吧！
涵健，大个仔咯！
生日快乐！

Do you want some tips from us?
I know it sounds a little bit crazy, but roommates like Ai Mei and I can still talk for one whole night and went to bed when the sun is almost out on the sky. And we did it again last night (or this morning) again, and went to bed on 6.30am!!!
What did we talk about? We talked about love (don't get me wrong, we talk family love), about life, about friends, about future, about career, and most of all, about the experience we had for several interviews. YUP!
It seems like yesterday, that Ai Mei and I sat in our own bed and talk about our "old school stuffs", gossiping about people around us, telling each other how we felt for some tiny bits of things that happen in our life... Now, I feel that we've grown, to talk about more serious things, life and future. It suddenly makes growing up something to look forward to.
Anyway, back to my title, I wish to share some "tips" from our experience in interviews. Ai Mei made some good points about interviews which I never thought of, and after flashing back my own experience, they really make so much sense!
Ok, here are the tips:

Ok, here are the tips:
- You want the interviewers to remember you. But you think your answers to the questions are not unique enough. What you can do is fully utilize the time when the interviewer said "Do you have any questions for me?" Ask more to show your interest to this certain position and company, e.g. "How many people are there in this department?", "How many years have you been working in the company and what do you think about this?" and etc.
- Be natural even though you know that you had prepared the standard answers for the common interview questions. Be NATURAL! Interviewer will not want to hear you memorizing your own answers. They prefer some prompt answers. So, be as natural as you can!
- Smile even you know you're totally stressed out! When you smile, interviewer might feel pleasant talking to you. He/she might forget the tedious questions that they have prepared for you and you can carry on talking or chit-chatting with them without much sweat!
- When you're asked with some technical questions (engineers) which you totally do not have any idea, just be honest that you do not know. Be frank!
- Don't mind that you are not speaking the Queen's English, show your confidence.

Photos of Yang's Tour in Singapore
Ah Yang amused by the car park lot counter in front of Esplanade.
Talk to the hand!
At the Merlion Park.
A Merlion postcard ^_^
Taken with Yee Hau's Panasonic built in wide angle. nice!~
He didn't purposely pose that for me, but I like it!
I didn't purposely pose that for him too!!!
Just a nice view from the bridge at Boat Quay.
The Sea Angel at Underwater World. I like this, very dreamy~~
A photo taken in Jurong Waterfalls, The biggest MAN MADE waterfall in the world, in Bird Park.
Another one from Bird Park as well, just for fun!
Touring in Singapore
Been disappearing from my blog for quite some days... 4 or 5 days? Well, maybe some of you who did not know me very well will wonder what did I do for the past few days. I had been touring around Singapore, like a tourist. Yea, I did!
Ah Yang came to Singapore for architecture intake interview in NUS. After the interview, we started our tour in Singapore. This was my first time touring around Singapore like a tourist for 4 days straight! To be honest to all of you, I never been to some of the places that I've taken him to.
For the first day, due to limited time and he needed earlier rest caused of the interview on next day, we went to Orchard Road. This young man was very fast to get bored by all the similar looking malls and crowded places. Luckily I didn't plan to tour him at Orchard Road for long hours.
^^
Sunday was his interview. We went to NUS early in the morning and look for the lecture theatre where the intervie was held. Yee Hau came to accompany while waiting for him. After the interview, we went to a city tour. Merlion, Esplanade, Boat Quay and Raffles Place are definitely must go for a tourist. It's not my first time to take photos around here, but it's definitely fun to see this young man amused by lots of things! Hahaha...
After the city tour, we went to Night Safari. This was my 2nd visit. I still have the same feelings of visiting zoo. I hate to see them being caged in the very small pathetic "natural jungle". And the zoo authority claims that they are providing the best? These animals have lost their natural behaviour, so what's the best? Ah Yang asked me to think in a positive way, the animals are just staying in a 5 Star Hotel. Hehehe... Oh anyway, the animal show was entertaining. The trainer knows how to get attention of the audience and made all the normal things of animal show so amazing!
The next day, we went to City Gallery, Chinatown, Sentosa and Vivo City. Talk about Sentosa, I had only visited Sentosa for the freshmen orientation camp. This was again, my first time to go Underwater World, took the cable car, 4D Magix and Dolphin Lagoon. Underwater World was very disappointing. Small, lack of information of the creatures, not enough place for the visitors to move around etc. I prefer HK underwater world in Ocean Park. Dolphin Lagoon is popular with the pink dolphins. But the show was VERY disappointing! VERY! Audience cannot see the dolphins and the program was BORING! Some of the audience left before the show ended.
The last day of his Singapore stay, we went to Bird Park and Science Centre. Bird Park was a very nice place to visit, provided if you like nature. They have wide variety of BIRDS in the park. But still, I hate the way they cage them. The "performers" (birds used in bird show) were even tied on the pathetic steel bar and exhibited to everyone. The performers are big eagles and owls... What are they thinking? They think they can treat the eagles like parrots? I saw the bald eagle tried to fly from his steel bar and fell onto the floor because he forgot he was being tied up!
Science Centre?!! Oh crap.... Don't even think about paying any dollar to visit this shitty centre!!! Don't!! Waste of time and waste of money!
Anyway,it's nice to pretend to be a tourist in a place that you're familiar with once in a while. You see things from a different perspective. Try it for yourself sometimes.
At the end of it, I hope Ah Yang had enjoyed his stay with me in Singapore. And good luck to him!!!
