Last day of Year 2009 and soon we will welcome the first day of Year 2010.
Not much special feeling as it's always the same whenever it comes to year end.
So every year end shall have a post to summarize for the whole year.

Actually there's no big changes during this year.

1. I finally able to learn piano after wishing for so many years. And will definitely try to achieve as best as I can.
2. After searching high and low for courses to attend, finally made up my mind to attend certificate course in accounting. Having a part-time study indeed is quite tiring, especially when you need to prepare for exam and homework. However, it's enjoying when you are able to solve the question independently.
3. First oversea trip to China. Exciting and Interesting. Happy that able to see such a beautiful scenery of HuangLong and JiuZhaiGou.
4. First adventurous experience to Gopeng, Ipoh. Water-rafting, Night jungle trekking and Caving. It's worth the body-aching.

So a brand new year shall have some new year resolution.

1. Save enough money to buy a piano.
2. Trips with family and friends.
3. Time to further study.

And new year shall have a new blog skin and new background music.
Enjoy every single day with a great smile! =D

最近某件事突然发人深省，让我脑海中浮现了一个问题。

孩子在父母心中是否永远就是个孩子？不管怎样都会让父母一直担心着？

该如何让父母放心，知道孩子会照顾自己，做事会有分寸？也知道规划将来，让自己不会处在捉襟见肘的时候？当需要作重大决定时，会经过深思熟虑，而不是一时的冲动，也不是在毫无任何保障下的行动。

有时是心疼辛苦工作了大半辈子的父母依然未能无忧无虑地做自己喜欢的事，还无时无刻都挂念着离家在外的孩子，担心着，操心着~

刚看完Douglas Preston写的“Blasphemy”。

故事是讲述一群科学家到深山野岭准备为一部机器进行试验。
而试验进行需要大量能源，这引起了人民的抗议，进而引发了暴动。
这时机器又发生了故障。如果继续，将会形成奇点，则后果将不堪设想。
就在这时，实验室发生命案，也带出了种种的谜团。
也引起了让人想继续翻阅的冲动。
但是故事到了最后，真相原来是主角自编自演。
不过，最终他还是得到了他想要的结果。
读完这本书后，感觉并不是很精彩。
本以为结果会是什么重大发现，但原来就只是这样而已。

打算开始另一本书－“The Italian Secretary: A Further Adventure of Sherlock Holmes"。

There are many things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few will catch your heart...  
Pursue them~

An enjoyable and different trip.

After a one-night bus journey from Singapore, we finally reach Gopeng town. We were fetched by the person-in-charge from MyGopeng resort by lorry and it's the start of our journey to be near with the nature.
We were briefed by the person-in-charge of MyGopeng resort regarding our activities and then we headed to put our bags down and prepare for the water-rafting.

After lunch, soon we were on our way to the waters. Before we went in the waters, the instructor taught us some rafting commands (pedal forward or backward, hold on, move to the left/right/front/back, Bom Bom, Jump Jump,etc) and some safety precautions too. We have to learnt how to do body-rafting. This is to give us confidence in the water and know what to do in case we fall into the water.

After that, it's the real water-rafting. It is a level 3 water rafting. Distance is 10km but we only manage to go 7km as it started to rain heavily and the water current began to be quite big. In term of safety, we have to terminate the water journey earlier. Would like to say thanks to the Intructor Adick who guides us all the way thru the rapids.

After having the steamboat dinner, it's the Night Jungle Trekking. The route was slippery and we had to climb up and down and walk through some narrow lane which we have to sidewalk. There was some road which we need to switch off the torchlight, feel and walk in the dark. However, we were lucky to have moonlight to shine our way through. And this is the moment where teamwork plays the most important part as the person in front have to warn the following person what to expect on the road and the message would have to pass down 1 by 1. Thanks for the ranger who helped me out through the slippery and steep jungle walk.

On the following day, we headed for the caving in gua tempurung where we have to crawl through holes, climb some steep slope, slide down the slippery stones, and duck-walk through the underground water. We have to beware of our head as we might bang onto the stalactite ahead. Tiring but it worth the physical challenge.

After the wash up, we headed to Ipoh town for lunch, souvenier and after dinner, it's time for us to take bus to back to Singapore.

All in all, it's an adventurous trip and lots of trilling moments. Although right now having the arm and leg muscle-ache but the trip is very nice. Thousands thanks to YF for organizing this trip, else I think I would not have this chance to have this totally different experience.

碰到棘手问题
该怎么处理
脑海里转啊转
似乎仍想不出方法
思前想后
还是没有头绪
难题啊难题
该怎么解决呢？

25/10/09
带着满心期待乘机飞往成都双流国际机场。
到达目的地时已是傍晚时分，乘车前往下榻的酒店。
用过晚餐后，尝试了从未尝试过的“足浴”。
回到酒店，将行李收拾一番后，带着疲惫的身心进入梦乡。

26/10/09
主要是在成都市游览。
早上前往大熊猫研究基地参观。还获得一张熊猫金卡，据说在某些商店能够得到折扣。
紧接着参观公司在中国投资的楼盘。
晚上的节目则安排了在蜀风雅韵观赏四川绝技－变脸。
其实不只变脸，还有京剧、唢呐表演、手影等等。
经过一夜的养精蓄锐，起了个大早，准备乘搭内陆班机前往九黄机场。
怎知，班机却延误两个多小时。>.<
终于到达九黄机场，被飞机上的温度预报吓着。温度竟然是1摄氏度？
还好气温并没想象中地冷，只是空气稀薄，走路有点喘。但是过一会儿就没事了。
乘车经过一段崎岖的山路，做了不少“肩膀运动”，终于到达黄龙风景区脚下。
即将进入“人间瑶池” －黄龙。
一路上的风景的确是美不胜收，赶紧用相机把这一幕幕都留作永恒。
虽然有一度黄龙这里下起了小雪（感觉像下雨），还好并没持续下去，否则就不能前进了。
很可惜，因为时间不够，我并没能登上黄龙最高的景点－五彩池与黄龙寺。
接近傍晚时分，我们一行人就乘车前往酒店。得赶在天黑前下山，因为入夜后山路的能见度仅1.5米。
 一路上仰望天空，看见一闪一闪的星星，很美~
特别喜欢布满繁星的夜空。


同样起了个大清早，准备搭乘内陆班机回返成都。
结果同样发生班机延误的情况。
而这次竟长达5个多小时。。 - -"
班机的延误使到本来要参观的“世界文化遗产”都江堰水力工程被迫取消。
晚餐后，见识了充满着古代色彩的街道－锦里。
30/10/09
自由活动。随同事到“盐石口”闲逛。
之后，带着不舍的心情踏上归途，回返新加坡。

后叙：
此番的旅途让我获益不少，了解了不同地方的历史文化与典故。例如麻婆豆腐与宫保鸡丁的由来，还有一些藏族的风俗文化背景。
总的来说，真是不虚此行！=D

Yay! Eventually it's the time for the trip! Haha~
Been looking forward this since the start of preparation for the trip. XD
It's a company trip to Chengdu, Huang Long and Jiu Zhai Gou, China.
Am now in Changi Airport, waiting to board on plane. =D
Quite excited and meanwhile a bit nervous, too. Hehe~
First time going abroad and first time boarding a plane~ XD
Spend quite some time preparing the luggage, the things to bring... Tiring but enjoying~
So, see ya everyone~ =)

Happy Birthday, Cyn!

发现有很多事情
似乎并不像所看到的
那么平淡
之中似乎还穿插了
一些小故事
浑然不知
一次又一次地
不小心成了
城门边池塘里的鱼

庆幸依然有双明理的眼睛
在旁提醒
让心里还有着些些的安慰

不公平的感觉似乎越来越明显。这个社会是现实的。

工作交代得不清不楚，却摆出一副经验丰富的样子。
从没解释说如何能从电脑系统中提取资料，却交待说要校对实际数量与系统中的数量是否吻合。
草草解释一番后，资料出来了，却发现到数量相差甚远。
结果就说为什么有疑问并没提出，但是却没想说每当有疑问时，是否能找到人来问？
而且这工作似乎仍是在他人的管辖范围，说会适时检查是否输入正确，但从一开始接手到现在，从来没提起过，也没检查过。
就好像事不关己，有什么问题是他人的责任。
有时草草敷衍了事，有时就耍太极式地转嫁他人身上，由另一人想办法找出原因将问题解决。

实在难以接受这样子的做事方法。

Listen. Observe. Analyze. Act

聆听。观察。分析。行动

同样的感觉
每星期重复着
几时才能摆脱呢？
也许原因其实就在于自己
但就是难以释怀
很想找出解决方法
否则每星期就这么循环着
很累

终于，于上星期六考完试了。
顿时在时间的调动上轻松了许多。
发现上课固然让生活充实，但同时也限制了时间上的自由。
必须为课业作准备，安排时间练琴，也得留些时间与朋友外出叙旧。
很多时候都会出现顾此失彼的现象。
可是为了未来的目标，能学习更多的东西，这一切都是值得的。

所以呢，暂时先放个假~ =D

My KT buddies~

NUS vs NTU

Company 7th month Dinner

Directors and Staffs

期待周末的来临。因为适逢开斋节，星期一休假，而且在KL读书的弟弟也放假回来。
期待十月的company trip。第一次出远门。
期待十一月的water rafting and jungle trekking trip。第一次尝试刺激与冒险。

^^

复习了一整天，该让脑袋休息休息~ 已经负荷不了了~
有点像临时抱佛脚的感觉，待会儿还得继续。。
现在就让我写写blog，缓和一下紧张的心情~ 哈

是时候为我的blog换一换新装了~
灵感正在找寻中。。

想把毕业典礼的所有照片编辑成一本相册~
是一个不错的纪念。。

买了一幅拼图，却得为拼好后的存放位置伤脑筋~
但是仍然敌不过想拼拼图的冲动，以及过程中的享受。。

期待明天交上考卷的那一刻~

疲累
压力
担心
期望
很久没有这样的感觉了。
为我加油
祝我好运吧~

刚从公司庆中元的晚餐聚会回来。
大伙儿从早上开始就帮忙准备祭拜的东西。
下午则忙着把东西装成一袋袋的“福分”，分给全体员工。
一个不同的体验。

今天也听到了公司同事间的一些故事。
其实有时会觉得很矛盾。
从自己的观察与分析，是否该相信所听到的？因为这位同事所说的事情似乎不像空穴来风。
人与人之间的相处出自于坦诚。
希望能与同事有机会变成朋友。
能够自在些地交谈，而不会觉得有约束。
但是难免又会想太多，会不会因为这样而让自己增添不必要的麻烦？

可是一直想着如何去提防他人。。
猜测某某人的话是否出自真心，还是想套出某些讯息。。
真的非常地累人~

I am reading "Blasphemy" by Douglas Preston.
An interesting science fiction.
It touches a bit regarding particles physics.
Suspense arouse right from the beginning of the story, attracting
me to keep on reading it.
Curious on how would the story goes.

Bought new story books.
- "The Italian Secretary" by Caleb Carr. A Sherlock Holmes story.
- "A Prisoner of Birth" by Jeffrey Archer. Came across this book a few weeks ago on
Popular website. Seems interesting.
- "Nightmares & Dreamscapes" by Stephen King. Always has a liking on reading horror
story. Wonder will the story turn out to be not-so-scary.
*********************************************************************************************************************
EQ management is very important.
Pondering why people can be so temperamental.
Sometimes warm; sometimes cold;
It's so hard to capture.

It always feel great whenever there's a holiday. Especially at this point of time, when almost everyday repeats the same routine life. And by the time when you got home, it is almost the time to go sleep. Not much time spent to do your own thing.

I like holiday. Lol~ And I am sure almost everyone like holidays, too. Holiday is a day whereby I do not need to think of "what shall I do in the office?", "how would the 'weather' in the office be on that day?",etc.

It is a day where I wake up with a relief of mind and enjoy the remaining day. I like Sunday where the following Monday is an holiday. This means that I do not need to go back Singapore in evening time. I would be able to stay at home for the whole day, doing my things and enjoy the dishes cooked by my mum. Haha~

And today is a Sunday where Monday is a holiday! Yay~ Been looking forward since Wednesday. A different feeling I had with previous Sundays. Hehe. I can do whichever I wish to do today. Be with my family, go for piano class, revise my studies, watch drama, read story book,etc. The whole day is mine. Do not need to waste a few hours in travelling. I feel that I can do quite a lot of thing during holiday.

Actually I think the same thing apply if I had chosen to stay in Singapore during weekend. I can also finish quite a number of things. But the feeling would be different as anyhow one's own home is still the best! =D

Would have to back to my homework. Jia you~ ^ ^

Time management is very important.
Been lack of revising my part-time studies.
Started to feel confused as the syllables going more and more detailed.
Therefore I just copied down whichever was taught by teacher and re-read it to get them linked.
Plan to read textbook to assist in revision, but I think reading it once is not enough for me as I still could not understand the concept and remember the way of doing by heart.
Right now I just blindly followed the method.
Not a correct and suitable way in learning.
I will always forget things easily if I just blindly memorize it.
I can only remember if I can fully understand the concept and apply it in whichever question that I attend.
There's a on-demand exam on 12/9/09.
Around 1 and a half month from now.
Do I have sufficient time to enhance on my basics knowledge so that I would have a better understanding for the upcoming topics?
Would I be able to go for the exam confidently?
Must work on it~

总觉得周末总是特别地短。
一晃就是星期一，要工作了。
开始觉得SOHO/Freelance的生活方式不错。
能在家里工作，时间完全由自己控制。
什么时候工作，什么时候休息，完全由自己规划与安排。
只要在限定的时间内把工作完成，交给client就行了。
也不需要受任何人牵制。
而这也是我现在所向往的吧。

我想我的目标变得清晰了。
也有了一个方向。
或许在工作中所经历的事，带来的impact不完全是负面的。
如果现在有人问我，
“你的目标是什么？”
“向往什么样的工作？”
“想拥有什么样的生活方式？”
我想我已经有答案了。
而这个答案不会只是说说而已。
我会努力去实现。=）

去年的今天，带着不知怎么形容的心情，与我的家人来到了NUS-UCC，参加我的毕业典礼。
十几年“寒窗苦读”就为了等待当天的这一刻。
走上台领取毕业证书的那一刻，心情有点忐忑。
当接近毕业典礼的尾声，气球降落时，还真有点依依不舍。
而这也为我这三年来在NUS的学生生涯画上了的休止符。

而在今年的前天，我们一群好友又带着不一样的心情，回到了久违了的NUS-UCC。
这次我们似乎比应届毕业生还要来得兴奋。
准备礼物，设计卡片/录像，忙着捕捉不同的镜头。
还蛮喜欢今年所拍下的照片。

不知不觉就这样毕业了一年。
这一年里，学到了很多课本上学不到的知识。
看到了不同的人、事、物。
发现很多东西应该学习。
工作后的世界的确很不一样。

恭喜今年所有毕业的朋友。
展翅飞翔，飞向不一样的天空，寻找自己向往的生活。
加油~

Finally there's going to be a change in my routine life.
From a full-time working adult to a part-time student.
Lol~ So finally I'm going back to become a student again.
Gotta deal with assignments and have to prepare before classes.
Quite looking forward actually.
Attending a totally new course - LCCI certificate in Book-Keeping.
Would like to have a grasp in accounting. From there, then will slowly proceed to obtain Degree in Accounting.
Have a plan in mind that would like to obtain a qualification as a Certified Public Accountant.
Would like to try up more regarding Accounts Auditing too.
So right now shall work harder to achieve it~ Yeah =D

Shall jia you in the lessons I'm attending now. Shall enrich myself with interesting courses. So more courses to come. Lol~ Should learn more things while we are young~ 大家加油咯！

平常心
不执著
生活会单纯些
心情会愉快些

=D

发现人与人的关系很奇妙。
看似简单，却又复杂难懂。
很多事情如果站在对方的角度想，是可以理解为何会出现这样的情况。
毕竟每个人的想法与处事方式都不相同，也各有各的立场。
秉持着自己的想法与观察处理某件事，却似乎让人误解而闹得有些不愉快，感觉有点冤枉。
想说是不是自己的处理方式错了？怎么一而再地有种‘殃及池鱼’的感觉？
是出了什么问题吗？
很多话想说，自己对事情的看法与感觉，但因为过于紧张，一时间很多都没说出口。
也担心说会不会有看法被误解的可能，而造成更多的隔阂？
很多的考虑因素。
该如何表达，而不让事情复杂化。
也许该对自己有多些信心。
相信自己的处理方式。
学习对自己及对别人的包容。
同时也学着，
观察、询问、聆听与分析。

Watched it yesterday at CWP.

今天和AK与HC相约到JW吃晚餐。
有种久违了的感觉。
乘着地铁到达湖畔地铁站，差一点忘了该往哪个方向走，也差点不记得有哪些巴士可以搭。哈哈~有一段时间没到这个地方了。
经过之前常光顾的food court，有种熟悉的感觉。
突然觉得JW那里的肉圆板面很好吃。
有点怀念food court那里的奶茶。
当然还有auntie的豆花。
没想到auntie还记得我。哈~
之后，乘着巴士回家。一路上，我的感觉是“我真的有好一段时间没有经过这里了。”
突然有种熟悉又亲切的感觉。是什么原因，我也说不上来。
可能邻里的food court予人一种比较安逸悠闲的感觉吧。没有快节奏的步伐，没有熙来攘往的人群。
感觉与在购物中心里的食阁用餐是不一样的。

换个地方，感觉还不错。

一个无需工作却还是得早起的星期六。

预约了早上8点30分的时间，要到Lavender ICA Building呈交我的PR申请表格与相关文件。
如常乘着地铁，依时到达ICA5楼的PR Service Centre。扫描了号码，就到柜台前等候着。没一会儿就轮到我了。心想这下好了，可以早点做好，早点回马来西亚。而这也是为什么我预约那么早的原因。
可是当一切都是那么地顺利时，总有某些不太顺利的事情会发生。
当执行人员核对我的文件时，发现少了我的初中与高中的文凭与副本。而且，表格也少填了一些资料。资料填得不齐全没关系，填好便是；但是文凭没带那就糟了。结果，我得从Lavender回到Chinese Garden的家里拿我的文凭，再回到ICA Building交给那位执行人员。
就这样，浪费了一个小时的时间。
接下来，便是等候消息的时候。希望能早点申请到PR，了却一桩“心事”。

最近，好象有点衰~~怎么办？

相信只要坚持
就一定能达致目标

想上业余课程
但因为工作地点与上课时间配合不来
而迟迟没能如愿

至今
愿望清单上
只实现了其中一样

而这一样
其实也面临了一些问题
“工欲善其事，必先利其器”
唯独我缺少了这所谓的“器”

该找找有些什么值得期待的事情
不知有多久没有尽情地开怀大笑了

很多时候
面对没处理过的事时
那种不确定、茫然无措的感觉
总是在不知不觉中
萦绕于脑海里
面对不同的人、事、物
总希望能够给与妥当的处理
然而
这往往让人觉得好累好累
思前想后
结果还是理不出个所以然
最终就以一句
“船到桥头自然直”
为事情做个结束
也许这样也对
该发生的终究会发生
担心、烦恼其实是多余的
倒不如提起勇气面对

事情处理前的不安定感
或许在事情处理后就会消失
加油！

Be strong enough to accept the challenges of Life

A message from an email I received which I found that quite meaningful and which can be used as a self-encouragement.
