Bloated

Sinfully, unreasonably, uncontrollably, hilariously, mindlessly, shamefully, insanely, gluttonly, amazingly, awefully...overdose with food.

Intensive care is muched needed.

Dieting is no longer a routine.
It's an survival attempt.

Christmas

I've been waiting for the end of all tiring and obliging social interactions--for this quiet season--Christmas--a time of tranquility and simplicity, and to be in touched with my soul.

Boss

I have the coolest boss in town.


And I'm proud of it.

23 Dec

23 Dec is much anticipated.

Sweet Surprise

My eyes were sparkled with surprises when I saw him in the office today. No one have told me that he would dropped by SG after Australia. It was stunning, and was really sweet to see him again. And ya...at least this time we had a proper bid goodbye with a firm handshake.

If destiny allows, I'll be seeing him next year.

可怕的女人

一个庸俗的妇女，

能让公司上下；大大小小同事都怕了她，

可真是厉害。


不是因为她很能干，也不是因为她职位高超，

只因为花多一点时间与她理论，

会死去很多脑细胞，耗尽很多精力，影响工作的率利。

于是公司上下都同心向她举起白旗，

让她为所欲为--成为一个名副其实的寄身虫。



女人，在装笨的时候，可真是可怕！

Dealing with storm

extract from today's reading: <Edited>

"What storm are you living through right now? When we try to survive the storms the way we're told to handle it by our worldly training or by the selfish passions of our flesh-nature, things only get worse, or at best, peace is delayed.

Seriously? How can we find peace by offering the other cheek when a person hurts us?

Is this fair? No!

Actually, when we try to deal with the storm the "fair" way, we end up in greater difficulty because we kick up new storms. But when we quit fighting God by surrendering to his ways of handling the people who cause us problems, our inner turmoil subsides. His love takes over. He becomes the source of our happiness and we stop relying on others for our peace. The storm can rage all it wants, and we will still live in peace."

But, but sometimes, we really need to stand firm on our principles and do not surrender to people who abuse their authority for their selfish interests. Justice rules! Justice reigns only when we co-operate. So, be bold!

--I'm still undergoing massive training on this matter.

A fond experience

The event which kept me under pressures for a while had finally completed. I felt a little lost after which, as suddenly my adrenaline dropped and stagnant, and I missed that driven passion.

Many people whom I had worked with in this project were amazingly nice; though many I only got to see the fonder sides only during and after the event.

A person I had been working very closely with through e-mails in this project is an extremely nice chap/colleague when I finally got to see him in person. A german gentleman, though some might thought otherwise, I really think he is a professional and serious worker in a nice way. That's make him very charming, and I only get to realise this only when all is over.

Hope you have a good trip home.

Should I?

Should I stay on uncertainty?

It eats up my energy; burns up my brain cells.



Take over this. I'm tired.

Love December

December quickly arrives.

A month of festival mood!

Monday Mess

This Monday (today) didn't start off well...

I was caught in the heavy rain during lunch...badly drenched

The meeting didn't go well enough to solve my problem...

Some selfish people was trying to abuse her authority to add on unofficial task to me...

Another meeting was delayed...and finally cancelled though I had waited it to start for an hour...

Not my day, today was not for me...

New Attitude

Indulge in habitual behaviors stifles growth. Worst, if these behaviours are undesired and unattractive.

An new attitude--add a pinch of optimistic-ism; a handful of can-do mindsets; blend with some sense of humours and also sprinkle with guts-- A NEW FAVOUR OF ME--new perception, new philosophy, new ways of handling things (difficult people). Always remember to make friends; or allies.

See Faith

Why was I worrying and complaining?

When anxieties and fears get into me; they blinded my vision.

Fix my eyes on Him; my Faith.

See beyond fears. Faith is larger than anything else.

Have Faith. Take Heart.

Uncertainty

Life is ups and downs.

Life has it's mood; sunshine and rains; occasionally, storms.

Life has many facets; you only see them when you face them.

Life is not complacent.

Life calls for CHANGE.

Life is; only if you live.

Embrace Change

Sometimes there are no reasons why that a connection will become a passing memory.




Embrace change.





Yes, harden your heart and change.

Thankful

I'm thankful, though not in a "high" way, I'm truly thankful inside. There's no one word that I can find now to describe that kind of feeling in me. It's so assured, warm, renewed, adequate and much much more.

The journey has been rough and trying, and I know that here may not be the last stop. The search may have to continue when the time comes but I know for me now is to focus on the NOW.

Thankful, so much thankful.

Jaded

Hey blog, sorry for neglecting you.
Life has been up and down; happy and sad. Well, it's life.
I'm kindda lost of words to express my thoughts and current disposition.
Give me some time to recuperate.
The smile will be back. Soon!

Puzzled

Why it happened this way?

Reading Dreams

"The notion that they dream of bathroom stalls, which are often found in public, further indicate that they are concerned about how others might feel and how others will perceive and judge them. They are feeling ashamed and fear that the situation might get messy should they make their feelings known. They don't want to cause trouble and as a result keep things inside. Their emotions have been pent up for too long and hence the dreams recur until they are released or acknowledged."

"To dream that you are urinating, symbolizes a cleansing and release of negative or repressed emotions. Urination is symbolic of having or lacking basic control in your life.
To dream that you are urinating in public, symbolizes a lack of privacy in your affairs or your need to make a public apology or confession. "

I didn't know that my emotional state of mind is so repressed and stifled that it has been showing signs in my dreams. I've been having this kind of "filthy" dreams recently (though not very often) and the "filthiness" is disturbing me.

I know there are some negative feelings in me that I need to let go and to make peace with my inner self.

Rantings

How do I begin? I've been flooded with disappointments recently and my spirit is crestfallen. I wanted to shout out loud that "I will survive!", but honestly, I need a little time to "grieve" over my plight before I could emerge from my sinking.

My life has been moving slow since I've been going through this ordeal. I have so much zeal and passion to strive for, but my current status quo hinder my move.

I'm not blaming God, or anyone for this. I have myself to blame, but would I be forgiven so that I could turn back the clock and make right of every wrongs I had made? But I know I've to be mature in shouldering the responsibility of my wrongs, and to learn from this journey. God, have I done enough to atone all my wrongs? How long and how much more do I need to walk on this self-discovery path?

I'm not seeking for a magician to change my current situation entirely, but I really hope there would be an insight or enlightenment that would lift me up and lead me to a path to somewhere.

How long more that this trauma has to be going? If it is your will that I sink; how deep you want me to be sunken and how long you want me to stay there?

Bro, lift me up, please!

脆弱

人，有七情六欲，天然本性。

人，每日都和自己，争辩斗智。

人，努力真扎后，累了。

人，在适当的时候，可以脆弱一下。

人，放下它，好好的歇一歇吧。

Weary

It has been saddening over the last couple of weeks.

Two major disasters hit Myanmar and China; leaving many died and many homeless.

Watching the sights of the helplessness on news from the TV, Internet and newspapers has been depressing.

I saw 24-hour working non-stop rescuers extent help to seek more miracles from the rubbles; I saw people all over the world sharing the pains and doing their bit to make the tragedy a little bearable to the victims.

My eyes have been tearing lately.

But there's a fighting spirit in life; it's natural that when there's a something pulls you down, you will struggle up!

It's time to rebuild faith and so let's all picking up the pieces...bit by bit...but be brave!

诚实

曾经可以很坦然，
不伪装内心的故事，
把它写在脸上，
侧底与你分享。

我的脆弱和不安，
我的曾经和内伤，
凑成一页一页的笔记篇，
让你慢慢的翻。

后来换来的是背叛，
我的故事你不爱看，
你要的只是美感，
单纯让我输得好惨。

所以我学会伪装，
我伤心流泪不让你看，
也从不在你面前抓狂，
你看到的我永远是坚强。

可是你感觉我很遥远，
你走不进我的心房，
这距离让你很沮丧，
期待昔日的我赶紧回返。

你和我，我和你，相处，其实不难，
卸了装，放下防备，诚实，可以很简单。
若不能，看清对方，往后怎能，共欢共难，
有了你，知心陪伴，道路多难，也不会孤单。

Be me

I used to be passionately stubborn and headstrong.
Now, to accommodate to please others has become my habitual attitude.

Undesirable!

What is holding me back?
Why am I being so foolish to trade my self to gain acceptance?

Superficial!

Life is to live; dare to dream...
Why holding back?

I celebrate the passion in my life;
the stubborn way I love my life;
like an airy fairy soar up high;
even though I may not fly;
I fear not of falling from the sky;
I know it'd hurt, but I'd still try.

I want to love as much before I die;
A life with smiles, tears and lullabies;
I'd keep these memories in my mind;
and hold them close as days pass by;
Ruminating the moments in the night;
and keep my love forever mine.

I would not hide my emotions with lies;
and denied the feelings I've realised;
I promise I'd not disguise;
I 'd share every part in me in your life;
Live with zeal and grow my heart to a bigger size;
to keep all I cherish in this life.

Wait

Just when I was contemplating on the meaning of "wait"; and feeling devastating on being kept "waiting". I found the message below, and it answered to my anxieties.

"To wait open-endedly is an enormously radical attitude toward life.
So is to trust that something will happen to us that is far beyond our imaginings.
So, too, is giving up control over our future and letting God define our life, trusting that God molds us according to God's love and not according to our fear.
The spiritual life is a life in which we wait, actively present to the moment, trusting that new things will happen to us, new things that are far beyond our own imagination, fantasy, or prediction. That, indeed, is a very radical stance toward life in a world preoccupied with control."
by Fr. Henri J. M. Nouwen

A Test of Faith?

I feel that I've to be really convinced to rely on my Faith to bring me through this...

Though I confess that I do feel confused, I'm still hopeful for the better...

I'm also doubting the situation; wondering if all factors are at my supporting end...

And there's nothing I can do, and so I feel I've to rely on my Faith to take me on...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not to your understandings...
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your path...
Trust therefore in the Lord."

And reading the below message, it's so comforting...

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
(Psalm 18:16-20, NIV)

A Ray of Light

Dear God,

Father, I'm thrilled with joy. Thank You for leading me with a ray of light shining bright with hope.

I could feel your Love (and I know Your love has been always there and fighting for my attention).

I'm sorry that recently I've had missed You out in my trials and joyful moments. But, I'm sure the triumph comes from You, and I must share it with You.

Thank You! <3

Love,
Your loving daughter

Wooden?...No way!

Surely, not wooden inside...

I would vote David Tao's concert one of the most solid concerts I've had attended so far. It earned my respect and affirmation for the artiste's professionalism and also to his devotion in his beliefs and visions.

The concert wasn't made up of frills and gimmicks; hence audiences didn't get to be serenaded by fireworks, confetti and alluring dance moves. On the contrary, DT's Singapore concert manifested pure music, talents and deliverance of the team's efforts and hard works. The spiritual side of the gig was it subtly sending the message of "Faith, Love, Respect & Peace" to its audiences...

Most of the audiences from the front couldn't wait to get on to their feet when David appeared in his maroon suit strumming the guitar along with the popular hit "我喜欢". Thereafter, "Runaway" set the tempo running high with audiences raising and swaying along with party light sticks.

David displayed his gratitude to his tour band teams with pride and integrity; and sharing his limelight with the mates. He specially gave acknowledgement to the pianist, the vocalists, the percussionist...who were from Singapore. At this moment, Singaporean started to feel engage with a sense of pride with lots of cheers and oohaas... David generously sang praises of how he likes Singapore and repeatedly proclaiming the country "Singapore" in a loud affirmative tone. Oh man, at that juncture, my friend and I were like "Wa lau! very National Day mood leh!"...hahaha... At one point, he took time to say "hi" to all this fans from various regions (HK, Jpn, CN, M'sia etc) by reading out the words of their sign boards, and when he asked “Singapore! where are you?" I could see at my side that a portion of us stood up and did the Kallang Roar...very National Day right?!...LOL!

I was deeply moved at one part when David introduced his long time pal cum pianist, Kheng Long (吴庆隆). He mentioned that they never (or seldom?) fight because they have God (pointing up to the sky) with them. (I went to the concert with a friend whom I had a little misunderstanding with recently and both of us have since been reacting lukewarm to each other) When I heard what David said, I felt the warmth in me and I had the sudden urge to hug my friend to say "Sorry, I might have had hurt you in some ways"...hence, this was the spiritual side I gained...

More spiritual rewards followed up when David sang "Dear God" with the MV playing on the screen. It showed the tragedy of the 9-11 incident, stirred up some heavy emotions of the audiences to ponder on...Yes, the best weapon to fight war and evil is LOVE.

I specially like the short video that showed all his crews individually by reciting the same words "I'm human" in different native languages such as English, Mandarin, Malay, Indie, Cantonese. Short and simple words, yet it could trigger some thoughts, and I got from the video is "Respect". I'm human (as like you, respect me)... "I'm human" may be a short sentence, but it's powerful.

Ok, enough said from the spiritual angle. What's so big deal of the concert?

Do not doubt this superstar (I prefer to name him an artiste), David can really sing! I was mesmerized by his rich vocals, almost flawless (Err...except he forgot some of the lyrics in some parts). His vocals are gifted, yet was trained and preserved. His voice was really great, and he could master different genres almost perfectly; especially strong in his forte R&B and rock.

Obviously, David wasn't impressed with complacent and superficial supporters. He challenged his audiences' ears by delivering several numbers in different music arrangements. Both my friend and I were listening hard to 1 number when he did it together with Kheng Long, and it was after a while that my friend and I shouted "Wa! So i'ts "月亮代表谁的心"!. Hmm...never thought that once a popular R&B number can be made into a Bossa Nova arrangement. Oh man! you got us!

David was mostly strumming the guitar with his songs the whole night. I was wondering how were his fingers feeling that time (must be hard and swollen by the end of the concert). No luck for me to shake his hand when he suddenly jumped down from the stage to "connect" with his fans.

Though he confessed that he made unimpressive dance moves, he presented a dance medley session (DT still didn't dance) when it turned the Singapore Indoor Stadium into a dance floor. It was high when the audiences boogied along with the Rock & Disco hits (the hits were a bit old though *oops*).

Any humours? Oh yes, there was a short "musical" when there was this Arabian percussionist playing the Arabian drums, while the dancers were swaying along with DT. It was kinda funny when DT and the vocalists were doing those actions, I couldn't help to imagine this: What about put 2 trees on stage, and they jump out from the trees to do the Bollywood dance? haha...funny...But! While DT was chanting the Arabian/Indie melody, his vocal was really GOOD!

Though no fireworks, we got to travel to space when the lasers strike out from the stage and covered the stadium with its magnificent presence. It reminded me of "Star War", and I was wondering was it because DT wanted to live up to his child hood dreams with this plot?

Enough said with a long post. We left the concert and had nice claypot frog legs porridge as supper and headed home at 3am.

Some snapshots to share (Oh, I have bad photography skills, even my hp played tricks on me. Or was it the lightings were too great that I couldn't capture any clear shots?)

Rationalism Vs Emotionalism

Lately I've been in a confuse state of mind. I am feeling torn between rationalism and emotionalism, the more I tried to strike a balance between both, the more devastating I feel inside me. Having to go through the state to sort out my thoughts and to evaluate my feelings with rational and calculative reasons is really tormenting. And worst, I feel I didn't get an answer out of it, instead I'm entangled into more complex thoughts and feelings.

Many times, we said "Follow your heart" to each other as a gesture to show encouraging support for making a decision. So, does it mean that when you reached a crossed road and didn't know which way to turn to, you trust your heart to lead the way? Or do you need to evaluate the situation of the environment, and to decide on which way to turn based on the possibilities you calculated? It is true that to spend some time ponder over and measuring the risk factors would help?

It's funny that even though the rational facts are showing some signs; our emotions get the better of our heart and once again, we got into the same old game of wanting to rationalise the situation and also to convince our heart to agree.

Perhaps we would learn and grow through the process; not the decision we made ultimately.

Detour

May be You want me to know that it takes two like-minded people to take on the same path.

It'll be hard for two to walk on the same path and yet each of the two has its own perception of things.

It's time for me to detour.

Thank You for this lesson I've learnt, which I've got the affirmation to make this decision.


路不同，很难一起走下去。

不如各走各的。

Hello, meet the talented and suave R & B King--David Tao.


He & Me: "Hi!"
Me: *傻笑*
He: *Grin* "Appreciate it!" (looking at my tickets, starting to autograph on them)
Me: *speechless* *傻笑* (so shy!)
He: *speechless*
then...
He: ...offers his left hand...
Me: ...quickly let out my hand to SHAKE HIS HAND! (Err...but he shake everybody hand!!!)

Haha...kinda funny...but seeing him I felt my face blushing and my heart leap a little fast...(pop..pop..pop...gosh!)

man with spec is cool...

Hello! ...Wake Up!!!

路

i'm feeling trapped, stifled,
couldn't find a sign,
turning left or right,
which way is right?

not a good feeling,
stuck, stifled and trapped.
where're the signals,
whatever, as long as I'd move.

moving on, just keep walking,
either ways are right
nor either are wrong;
no absolute answer.
the only way is to move
and not turning back.


方向很摸糊，
太多躁音，
决定无从是好，
很困扰。

往前退后，
向左向右，
每一步小心翼翼，
懊恼。

出路还在找，
看不到指示牌，
急坏了，
糟糕。

弃权不允许，
唯有继续，
探索，摸索
不畏缩，
加油！

“也许我应该停下歇歇，让一让步。。。出路在不远处，不会迷路。”
"Perhaps it's a sign to stop and give way...the exit is not far away."

用心思考

This is a short and simple to read book, in Chinese it's called 散文. The author is talented, I like the way she expresses her thoughts in parables, and she cleverly addresses many social problems in a subtle manner so as to prompt the readers to contemplate. 作者的文笔也很细腻。 Some excerpts to share:

“往往我们只看表面的喜怒哀乐，却忘记了情绪其实是很复杂的。”

“绕着那个星球运行的心解除自动导航系统--自己操控，才是真的拥有。”



“如果你也有不确定，那是很正常的！ 你的心会说话，而你一定听得见。”

“生命中确实要有刺激和辛辣，但永恒的，往往是难得的宁静。”



“别让无知把机会挡在门外，也许换个心情换个角度，
你也有可能接受你曾经拒于千里之外的辛福喔！”



“与其欺骗自己不会痛而一再受伤，不妨在痛的时候好好看看伤口，
防止自己再受伤，或许才是明智之举。”

Thanksgiving 感恩

I'm thankful for everything I have; my family, my friends and my faith.
I do feel at times that I don't deserve what I'm having, but I feel so blessed and loved by all the blessings bestowed unto me unconditionally.

希望：
身边的人，开心一点。
自己的心，宽一点。
笑声，多一点。
感动，真一点。
朋友，吵一点。
工作，踏实一点。
生活，简单一点。
我的人生，圆满一点。

Had a very filling lunch with a friend whom I've not seen for a while, had a hearty chit-chatting session.
Went to watch the movie "August Rush". Not sure if this is a true story, I like the plot and the videography is beautifully done with an artistic touch. The story is heart-warming. Got the best of both worlds; classical symphony and slow rock, didn't know that cello goes well with rock music in arrangement. Music lovers (makers) should like this movie, I think*.
Had dinner at TCC, my choice was superb--Grilled Chicken with ***** Sauce (can't remember the sauce name), the tender chicken meat was so tasty and also the cheesy mash potatoes. And a refreshing zingy drink, Apple Paradise Soda.

Hereby, I declare that from tomorrow onwards, I'm going to:
1) drop carbohydrate
2) book badminton court (MUST EXERCISE!!)
3) be nice to my family (MOP THE FLOOR & IRON CLOTHES!!!)

Forgive (move on) and forget

*原来疗伤是没有捷径的。你必须听从医生的指示，把抗身素依时的吃完。把药吃完了，伤痛才会离开。*"..."There's no short cut to lose pains, complete the course of antibiotic prescribed by the doctor, and thus the pains will leave"

As we take a leap of faith to forgive someone who had hurt us, it's not easy and instant for us to forget the pains that had been inflicted in us. Forgiveness is a continual process to live out the commitment we initially made. Many of us thought we can take a shorter route to "forgive and forget", but we miss out the fact that we need to move on in order to help ourselves to forget. So, my new-found anecdote for her is "Forgive, Move on and Forget"..."There's no short cut to lose pains, complete the course of antibiotic prescribed by the doctor, and thus the pains will leave"...Wishing her well...

忘记

把回忆整齐叠起，收在柜里最隐秘的一角。
别去触碰它，也别去偷视它。

时间日日夜夜随逝，心房渐渐净空。
某日打开柜子把回忆想一遍，
记忆变得模湖，景色也失去了色彩。

美好的，会随着慌言变质。
伤心的，让时间去征服。

--原来，忘记可以如止简单。

雨天心语

It has been raining these couple of days, the sky is grey and gloomy, the roads are wet... and I miss the sun.

天是灰灰的，雨声滴下是轻轻的。
街上是静静的，心情变得淡淡的。

叛逆是勇敢的，不服输， 不服输。
淡淡的心是有温度的，不放弃，再继续。

天是灰灰的，雨声滴下是轻轻的，
街上是静静的，心情可以是平静的。

我的心；不灰，不淡漠；是轻的，也是静静的。

Beautiful Peoples

I love people watching, especially on the busy Orchard Road. I cannot resist to steal a glimpse on pretty peoples who are walking pass me. Yes, I agree it's kinda shallow in some sense. But honestly, my eyes are drawn to beauty and I respect beauty.

Some years back, a friend of mine was very keen to work in the advertising industry, and so I helped her out to contact a friend in an advertising firm to check if there was a vacancy. My friend was told to go for an interview, she went. After that, I called my friend in the advertising firm to check if my girl friend could get the position. My friend told me very frankly that he couldn't hire my girl friend, not because she was not qualified, but because "she is too pretty!" Haha...that was hysterical, could you believe it? The reason he gave me was because the candidate would be reporting to the manager "who was a plump and jealous lady", and he could predict that if my girl friend would to work under her, my girl friend would have a hard time and would eventually quit.

How do you define "Beautiful Peoples"? Beside appearance, do you read the heart as well? At "first impression", we read someone base on the appearance at the beginning, and eventually we read the heart by our continual experience with that person...eventually we sum up whether by our definition (or measurement), this person is beautiful or not.

So, beautiful peoples are not always fake because they wear "make-up" or so, they could have a beautiful heart as well...if you take a little time to find out...

Jealousy kills beauty; it fails to admire the beauty around as well as the inner beauty within...

Cheers to all Beautiful Peoples!

梦境

我不是一个常做梦的人，我是说是睡觉时做的梦哦！
就算有梦境入睡，醒来后，我也不会记得我做过的梦。

那晚，我却在一个晚上做了两个莫名其妙的梦。

~ 梦境一

不知道怎么的，我手上抱了个又小又脆弱的小婴儿。
这婴儿大概是刚刚出世的吧， 不知道他怎么会在我的手上。
我望着这婴儿的呼吸声慢慢的变缓慢，他的身躯也慢慢的变弱，脸色也显似苍白。
那时，我好害怕，不知道应该如何是好。旁边又没有人，我找不到人可以求救。

好恐慌！我开始轻轻按抚我手上那婴儿的身躯，轻轻的：“你要勇敢！”心里为这名我不认识的小婴儿祈祷：“疼爱这名婴儿的创造者阿，请你给他一些力量吧！”
结果，我看见我手上的婴儿，慢慢的恢复了呼吸，脸上也逐渐有血色。。。这时，一切正常，忽然我身旁也出现许多人在鼓掌。。。

没有连系的，我又到了另一个梦境。。。

##################################################################

~ 梦境二

我的一只脚；半个身躯，跨过一道门框，到了一个类似森林的地方。
有一只狗在顿时间发现了我，就大声地对我吠个不停。
我还来不及缩回，我另一半的身躯也跨过到了这森林的地方。
还来不及好好地观赏森林的景色，这只恶狗竟然快扑向我，对我张牙虎爪。
我的及时反应就是要逃命！

我奔驶的跑，我看到好多动物也在跑着，移动着。
那杀那间，好摸糊，不知道那些动物是不是在追我，还是也在逃亡？
我好恐慌，只知道自己只能不停的跑。
跑着，跑着，我看到一只很大，很威猛的狮子张开咀巴向我迎面而来。
它的金黄色狮毛在风中飘移着，很迷人。
我害怕死了！我想这次死定了！
我来不及闪躲，来不及想，来不及大声喊。。。
这狮子很快速地从我的身边，发出一声怒哄并略过了我，往我的身后奔驶而去！
而这之后，周围的一切竟恢复平静。
全部的动物也不见了。连那只讨厌的恶狗也不见踪影了。

这时，我没有醒来，但没有继续做梦， 只是继续地睡着。

##################################################################

醒来后却想到这两个怪梦。心想，是不是梦里有一些启示要告诉我？
做了一些思考，也把梦境的系节给想了几回。
也许，那婴儿的梦境是要告诉我，即使事情有多复杂，希望再渺茫，也不能放弃心中的信念。
所谓“一念之差”，就只要在这“一念”，我们那单纯的信念，也能给我们力量，点燃我们的希望的火苗重燃光芒！ 很神奇吧？

狮子的故事，也许是要告诉我，恐惧往往只是假象，是心里的魔鬼。 (False Evidence Appears Real)
恐惧使我们只要逃跑，但是最后还是迷失了。
唯有勇敢地面对恐惧， 才能征服心理的障碍，往前跨一步。

哇！这两个怪梦可不是随便做的哩！

期待啊！

David Tao's Concert in S'pore is another event I've been looking forward to. Well, I guess he is more of an artiste than an entertainer, so I'll look forward to sit back and relax and enjoy his smooth ballads, and be indulged in his rich vocal.

My tic to David Tao's concert...

I finally found this little autobiography by this pretty, talented and smart newscaster, 候佩岑. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't looking forward to find any juicy things that I might find in this biography. I was simply wanting to read something simple and yet profound. I looked through the book briefly after I just bought it, well, this is indeed a simple and yet profound collections of the author's thoughts.

The author holds a double degree in Mass Media and Psychology. Both are my fave subjects. Mass Media I've had the touch of it, but as for Psychology, it's still an alluring subject that I admire.

I've not sit down to read the book yet, I'll share more once I've read and digest it....

Oh thanks to someone who told me where I might be able to get the book. ;)

Talents

It was a tiring weekend; my legs are still aching... But biking still rocks!

I attended the Jam On! Concert at Botanical Garden last night. It was my first time enjoying good music in a park. The ambience was superb and it was absolutely carefree, fun and of course...Hot!! Haha...

I was a little late and so I missed the first performance by a local band, but I managed to catch Ngak and his Ang Mo Pias band mates. Ngak's vocal is good and his showmanship is rather steady. I used to watch him sing in Timbre, but last evening performance was good and charismatic. Ngak is definitely a potential star; I'm looking forward to his upcoming album.

The Taiwan's band Soda Green was the next group that wow the audiences. It was my first time to listen to them sing live...and it was Wow! Soda Green is a band with substance; it has what it takes to call a band, their music is well-arranged, balance and endowed with the band originality.

It was a rich Saturday, with the companionship of TALENTS and TALENT. (Read between the lines).

感性心情

今天是的心情是感性的。

也没有什么大件事发生啦，只是心情很容易被感动，情绪很易被牵动着。哎呀，我是活生生的人，当然有情绪，有心情啦！！

哈哈。。。

想想做个诗人也不错，可以做做诗，写写词，用字句来填朴满腔的感动情绪，平衡心理。。。

最近我在往书店徘徊，在找侯佩岑的书“字言字语”但都没找到，可能这里没有出售吧。没关系，我会继续加油的！！

写写东西还真不错，现在心情开心起来了！哈哈哈。。。

J'mania

Had fun at Jay Chou's World Tour Concert last Saturday. The crowd was superb and Jay electrified the audiences with his ballads, suave dance moves, and wow the audiences with surprise of fireworks, exclusive videos etc... I especially like his ballads when he hit the piano keys gracefully, and delivered the ballads in acoustic genre.

It was a memorable night for me as I did get to shake his hand when I rushed to the front uncontrollably. Wow! this was a bonus I gained from the concert.

On the whole, it was a well-planned concert that installed with much efforts from the artiste and team. Some snapshots to share...

The "passport" to the concert...

The sporting crowd that set the mood so high!

The waving board given by the sponsor...

Jay romancing the audience with his smooth ballads on this crystal piano...a killer!

Need me to elaborate more? A pic says a thousand words...

A good start...

It has come to the 2nd week of the new year...it has been a good start. I've some new friends, thankful that I've got to know them. I like their zeal of life; they are so passionate in everything that they do. I hope to adapt this positive attitude in my life, and be stronger in my faith.

I've been busy packing and tidying my bedroom, can't remember when was the last time that I had packed my room properly. This time, I'm going to do a very thorough spring cleaning. It's time to throw away the unwanted baggage and renew with fresh ones.

Goals:

1. Pack my clothes; throw or give away old and unwanted clothes
2. Pack my bags; throw or give away unwanted bags
3. Pack my books and other stuff; throw away unwanted stuff
4. Change my bedroom's curtain
5. Change my bed sheet; and get a new pair of pillow
6. Pack my writing tables; throw away all those things which have been lying there for the last year!!
7. Tidy my house...

Here are some pics I took before last Christmas Day...

Snapshots I took at the old folk home:

I think the last rainbow I saw was the beginning of last year...so I hope to see a real rainbow some day very soon...

Holy Jolly New Year!

It was a jolly holy new year countdown for me last night. It was a countdown "party" with great company, great moments, great music, great reflections...

I celebrate and usher a great new year with hopes as I know I've lots to learn, many areas to change and I need to re-direct my life journey by eliminating unhealthy baggage...And so, I'm responsible to make my hopes reachable.

Hence the celebration, the dreams, the hopes, the joy and the laughter...
