Of cars and guys

Of course, these 2 go hand in hand. A dashing guy driving a cool car would definitely make him more appealing. But most of the time, this is not the case. A good-looking guy cannot afford a luxury car, an old man might be driving a sports car that's too young for him.

I love being sent home on cars, esp. by guys. Call me materialistic, but well, it does show good of that guy. Even tho. it's just friends, it does show that the guy is a real gentleman. Yest, got sent back on my fren's fabulous AUDI, he doenst live near me, and happens to miss the exit so he ends up going to the west.

But of course, i dont blame some guys who dont do that. Esp. if that person is not close to you. I've 2 extreme colleagues. One loves to send me back to my house, and the other i have to beg him to drop me off at Jurong, which is on his way home, and poor me has to take a 5 min bus ride back home. Cant juz do a few turns to drop me home.

But most of the time, I dont rely on people to send me home, being independent and take the bus or mrt has been a norm to me already.

Anyway, feeling very "Jay-Chou" nowadays.

我想就这样牵着你的手不放开
爱能不能够永远单纯没有悲哀
我想带你骑单车
我想和你看棒球
想这样没担忧
唱着歌一直走

我想就这样牵着你的手不放开
爱可不可以简简单单没有伤害
你靠着我的肩膀
你在我胸口睡着
像这样的生活
我爱你你爱我

Busy

Been so busy at work recently. Will be busy till Nov Dec and Jan!!! I dont get any holidays or am even planning for one, coz i know my schedule is so full, but maybe can squeeze short trips. Dont work on Sat. and Sun.

Anyway, I realise i;ve been spending alot of $$ during Fri, and weekends. Hardly spend during weekdays coz working. But when not working, can spend alot. Kinda like taking revenge for not being able to spend?

Let's stocktake:
-iMac G5
-Canon Digital Camera
-Cosmestics
-New tops
-People's birthdays (wonder why so many birthdays this month)

All this is really burning a hole in my pocket...MUST SAVE SAVE SAVE..like the stupid Shop and Save commerical, 省,省,省!

Tuesdays with Morrie

Watching "Tuesdays with Morrie" on the Hallmark Channel on a Tuesday is pretty cool. Rem that I was so touched while reading the book, and then kinda forgot what's in the book. Luckily today i had a chance to catch the movie again.

Been wanting to read the book "5 people u meet in heaven" but haven got the chance to. Hmm....time, how much do u have, and how much can u spare?

To learn how to die, to learn how to live.

To love, or we'd all die.

Subjects on love, death, regrets, dependencies, shame.

I wanna catch the show "Hawking" too...this abt this great scientist whom, despite his disabilities, try to make his contributions and theories to science.

Aww...Hallmark is my new fav. channel now!!!

水 调 歌 头

Ok, i saw that ahsoon has posted the whole poem on his blog, and now i tot, why not post it with the english translation?
tho. it's very funnie in english, but it kinda capture the essence of this ci. Good for pple like me who wanna understand the meaning but it's too cheem, so at least can guess the meaning from the eng version.

水 调 歌 头
明月几时有
把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙
今夕是何年
我欲乘风归去
又恐琼楼玉宇
高处不胜寒
起舞弄轻影
何似在人间

转朱阁
低绮户
照无眠
不应有恨
何事长向别时圆
人有悲欢离合
月有阴晴圆缺
此事古难全
但愿人长久
千里共婵娟


Shui tiao ko tou
The moon -- how old is it?
I hold the cup and ask the clear blue sky
But I don't know, in palaces up there
When is tonight?
If only I could ride the wind and see --
But no, jade towers
So high up, might be too cold
For dancing with my shadow --
How could there, be like here?

Turning in the red chamber
Beneath the carved window
The brightness baffles sleep
But why complain?
The moon is always full at parting
A man knows grief and joy, separation and reunion
The moon, clouds and fair skies, waxing and waning --
And old story, this struggle for perfection!
Here's to long life
This loveliness we share even a thousand miles apart!

Mooncakes Mooncakes

Went to Chinatown with my parents coz they wanna get some mooncakes, there's supposedly this really famous store that everyone buys from. Super hot day!

Got lotsa mooncakes from my relatives, but well, there's no more cravings for them, but i still like the yam mooncake alot. Haven get to eat it this year.

The Mid Autumn Festival is ard the corner again, in fact, it's this sunday! Cool, it's the time when the moon is gonna be at its fullest again.

Reminds me of something that I was taught during chinese literature.

Let me type it out in chinese:

但 愿 人长 久,
千 里 共 婵 娟

This used to have really special meanings to me last time, but well, it doesnt now. Times have changed, but well, i only rem. these verses during MAF.

This OAC fren SMS and asked if we wanna go back to our JC for the MAF celebrations, and i really cant bear to go back again, coz i feel so damn old. Feel the generation gaps with the juniors, cant do cheers anymore w/o getting embarrassed, cant do mass dance anymore, but i can still sing. oh well....
