什么是累？ You know when you are tired when: – things always slip out of mind. – 力不从心 is a feeling that you keep having. – there is an increased tendency to interpret the wrong things. – the number of words used to explain/describe reduce and there is a tendency to explain lesser and lesser. – … Read more
我到底值多少？ A conversation with an insurance agent last Saturday led to the topic of the worth of a person. She then estimated my worth based on my salary and some assumptions. The figure she came out was rather sad. Not that I think I should worth a lot, but I feel that the worth of … Read more
运动赛事，就是有一种魔力。 There’s a reason why I have not written much about sports here. Coincidentally, every time I put something up here, somehow or another, the team I support will not perform as expected or my predictions will never come true. Oh well, I guess if I were that accurate, I would not be sitting at … Read more
毕竟，为了考试读书，和为了知识/兴趣读书，是截然不同的。 Sometimes I wonder, will I enjoy studying more if not of the exams. Perhaps so, but I guess more importantly is the topic of the readings. There are some things that I enjoy reading and am indifferent to being tested; there are some things that are nice to read but not nice to be … Read more
我不是超人。 Everyone has many roles in our lives; be it as a citizen, as a child, as a friend, as a colleague, as a subordinate, as an employee, as a customer, etc… With each role comes expectation. 要做到面面俱到，谈何容易。It has never easy to juggle everything well, especially when there are conflicts. Sometimes, when striving to perform … Read more
童年，应该是什么样子？ Should childhood be a period of fun, or a time when the rat race begins? This was a question that popped up during a lunchtime conversation with my colleagues. Among us, only 1 is married with 2 kids, one in primary school and the other in preschool. She commented that her poor kids have … Read more
朋友是一辈子的事。 My eyes landed on a headline article in mypaper this morning during my daily eat-breakfast-and-read-newspaper routine. Not really a fan of 范玮琪, 周杰伦 or 黑人, but being bored, I decided to read on and a phrase by 黑人 caught my attention: 工作可以再找，朋友是一辈子的事. I was really impressed by the 意气 shown by 黑人. Though it … Read more
我喜欢听歌，尤其是夜深人静的时候。 It allows me to relax and forgot about what I have in mind, as my mind will wander with the emotions of the song, its melody and lyrics and venture from 《珊瑚海》 to 《千里之外》. It’s sort of therapeutic I guess, especially on days when I just don’t feel like sleeping. Perhaps I just desire … Read more
我长大了吗？ 几天前，我看了刘若英的《我不想念》MV，片中的女主角打开一封十二岁时写给长大后的自己的信。若今天的我也一样，打开一封十二岁时写给自己的信，那么，我会有什么感觉？我想，那会很奇妙吧，而现在的我，在某些方面应该不符合或达不到我当年对自己的期许吧。呵呵… 人生有很多意外；意外的遇到一些人，意外的做了某些事情。人生就是因为意外而更加精彩，不是吗？纵然有些意外不是我们想要的，但换个角度想，也 许，那是对我们的一种考验、一种磨练。所谓经一事，长一智，那我长智了吗？哈哈哈。当然，有些意外却很美好的。我的二十三岁，对我而言，是一个相当“戏剧 性”的一年，发生了好多事，充满了好多意外，有美好的，也有不好的。感激而且珍惜这一年来陪伴与鼓励我的人，把不美好变得美好些。 This year’s cake was Tiramisu from Rive Gauche, a Japanese pastry shop (if I’m not wrong). The cake tasted quite good and was quite light and less cheesy as compared to normal cheesecake. The sponge portion seemed to be dipped in liquor though (and I wasn’t drunk by it :P), … Read more
这是，狼来了？ Sometimes, I wonder is it just Singaporeans or maybe, it is people in general. When a fire alarm has been activated, no one cares because everyone assumes it’s just a false alarm and nothing serious will happen. People continue to do what they are doing, as if nothing has happened. If that is the … Read more
