Goodbye 2009

A quick recap of the year...
Highlights:
- Went on my first ever overseas holiday alone. It was liberating. I would definitely like to do this again some time.
- Finally went Japan to fulfill my dream since childhood and yes, I will definitely revisit
- Purchase of my Higuma
- Tendered my resignation after a good, long five years 

2010 is a year of new beginnings. Cheers to a great year ahead!

I'm free!

Born free, as free as the wind blows 
As free as the grass grows 
Born free to follow your heart 

Live free, and beauty surrounds you 
The world still astounds you 
Each time you look at a star 

Stay free, where no walls divide you 
You're free as a roaring tide 
So there's no need to hide 

Born free, and life is worth living 
But only worth living 
Cause you're born free

It'd make a good matchmaker's ad, dun you think?

I love how I'm the focus.. wahahhahahahaa

Song List

4) 破天荒
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)

Toys with whom I have LDRs....


The A380 is, for obvious reasons, the favourite. It used to be Starrie's fave too, before the battery ran out. It makes the announcements just the way the real flight makes. Take off, landing, final approach - cool stuff!

Ji Dan - ok this is mine but I made it make its home over there.

Good Luck Bear - hope this continues to bring good luck to us!

Lor Mee & Wanton Mee all the way from Teddy Bear Museum in Jeju!

Ding Ding - Dingo from Brisbane. This is the outlet of my anger or frustration with him. That's why poor DingDing flies all over the room occasionally. Lol!


New love

我爱谁 跨不过 从来也不觉得错
自以为 抓著痛 就能往回忆里躲
偏执相信著 受诅咒的水晶球
阻挡可能心动的理由

*而你却 靠近了 逼我们视线交错
原地不动 或向前走 突然在意这分钟
眼前荒沙弥漫了等候
耳边传来孱弱的呼救
追赶要我爱的不保留

我身骑白马 走三关
我改换素衣 回中原
放下西凉没人管 我一心只想王宝钏

满身伤痕累累 也来不及痛
那是指引我走向你的清楚感受
不管危不危险 都要放下一切跟你走
只要一起承担 只要你不放手

this is an extract of an entry i wrote on 14 Jan 2007 and i wonder why i did not make my decision earlier. the signs were so obvious.

i just suddenly feel so stressed. it's going to be monday again tomorrow and it will be my second week at costar. this is my first official job as TIC and so far i'm glad everything is fine. i even seem to have a lot of time left over. but i just dunno why i'm so stressed. otherwise i oso dun feel this need to pen this down now. in a few months, i know i'll forget why i was even so stressed at this point in time and laugh at myself. ahh..the beauty of hindsight!

Short term sacrifice; long term gain

many many years ago the discipline mistress, after seeing how we were not studying for our o levels, made us stand up one morning during assembly and shout these six words. she went on to make us stand on our chairs on another occasion and raise our hands in the air to gloria estefan's 'reach'.

her ways worked for me. i spent less time at the bowling alley and studied and my results were good. i became a staunch believer of these six words.

but really, not all sacrifices bring u gain. and sometimes, it's long periods of hard work and agony and very limited benefit.

i am a staunch believer no more.

Song of the moment

慢慢呼吸 愈慢愈美丽

什么时候不用早起 赖床赖到北极
别老是拖着行礼 抛下温暖的公寓
错过一班飞机 赶一场电影

OH~慢呼吸 慢游戏 慢爱情
慢慢聆听慢努力 慢慢着急
愈慢愈美丽慢开心
慢忧郁 慢慢计算星星慢慢看日出的轨迹
放心忘记 没有来不及
噢 无重力

我搭的透明电梯 祈祷它突然停
不用为我着急 我要慢慢浏览风景
切断所有的电力 全世界都停机 OH~

倒转所有的日历 取消忧郁的星期一
一辈子都是假期(全部都是假期)
oh~愈急愈不急
让情绪(让情绪) 通通的安静 休息慢呼吸 慢慢珍惜

Very comprehensive personal portrait - www.astro.com

Sun in Pisces, Moon in Aquarius
This astrological combination indicates a mild, retiring nature with artistic overtones. You follow your intuition rather than feelings. As you are somewhat quiet and detached, emotion cannot usually hold sway over your ultimate decisions. Your approach to life and the cosmos is sincere and humanitarian. You should succeed in some public pursuit, although you may have to overcome an initial hesitancy about appearing in public. Your individuality is fluid and highly receptive to environmental influences. Your most conscious life aim is to achieve understanding and sympathy for humanity.
Your most private thoughts remain nebulous and little understood. But in your everyday personality you show keen mental abilities, clear judgment, and a retentive, deciphering memory. The key to a harmonious existence lies in allowing your receptive individuality to interact with the rather detached attitude that your personality has assumed.

Ascendant in Aries, Mars in the Seventh House
At the time of your birth the zodiacal sign of Aries was ascending in the horizon. Its ruler Mars is located in the seventh house.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiacal belt and its natives seem also desirous of being "first" in all activities with which they happen to be involved. The cardinality of the sign makes you extremely active and capable of displaying ambition, impulsiveness, courage, and boldness in order to satisfy your desire for prominence in the world.
The general course of your life will be filled with many 'ups' and 'downs' and changes conforming very much with the psychological nature of your temperament. Whether you triumph or not in life depends on your ability to develop your most positive inborn qualities and, simultaneously, exert some control over your less favorable characteristics, such as a lack of prudence, and a certain disregard for the feelings and opinions of others.
Aries gives a tendency for its natives to be inclined to politics and public work. You should be successful (or at least attempt to be so) in any work or activity that necessitates pioneering ideas and/or a militant disposition. You also appear to have an ardent attitude in any project that somehow or another involves new concepts or original work and in which you are given a position of leadership. One of your problems is that in your love for achievement in novel projects you tend to destroy old concepts and former contributions which would, perhaps, have been useful for your endeavors. Impulsive, critical, despising mean or dubious acts, you will create many excellent friendships but also important enemies. Your life is rich in passion and ardent love. In sexual matters you are quick, aggressive, and to the point. You also are a lover of pleasures, which you feel with a bright, open, and sparkling character.
Mars, the ruler of your life events, is found located in the seventh house. This indicates a life full of events and changes, and a fighting disposition of the native which can create open and powerful enemies. There is a tendency to become involved in wars and conflicts, both public and personal. Your marriage or any other intimate relationship could be subjected to quarrels and animosity, and your partner could become the dominating member of your household.

Saturn in the Seventh House
Saturn was found in seventh house at the time of birth. In your dealings with others, you are going to present a very cautious personality and you will work slowly towards the achievement of security. The environment will be a very restricting factor in your life; the same limitations that hinder your relationships with others will emerge in a narrowness of reception to your ideas and emotions. This indicates that the key to more spiritual and material development lies in your response to the several tests destined for you which consist of patiently enduring difficulties through human relationships.
You should remember that Saturn does not lend a propensity to be demonstrative in an emotional sense. It does, in those individuals with whom you will start a lifelong relationship, give a sense of duty and stability of emotions. Yet you are going to experience some sorrow throughout your life in a relationship. This is mostly going to consist of the several limitations that this state is imposing upon your personal freedom.
The key to a better integration of your existence lies in the ability to view these obstacles and binds with philosophical resignation.

Venus in the Tenth House
Venus was found in the tenth house at the time of birth.
You will appear as a person who seeks harmony, inclined as you are to observe the aesthetic value of all things in life, to engage in artistic activities and to possess all that is lovely and beautiful. You have sufficient potential to achieve success in life, especially if your occupation is artistic or musical.
Much of your success is a consequence of applied interest and hard work; you posses merit and ability, and your congenial, intelligent manner produces a very exalted image.
In any case, there are very good possibilities for the acquisition of some social distinction, a good reputation and financial success at some period of your life.

Moon in the Eleventh House
The Moon was found in the eleventh house at the time of your birth. You should be an individual with many friends and acquaintances, both from within and without your home and domestic circle. You are a person who can make friends in the highest social categories as well as with persons of an inferior status.
This position may also increase the possibilities of having a satisfactory family life and a very congenial domestic aspect with the potentiality of easily fraternizing with other people.

Sun in the Twelfth House
The Sun was in your twelfth house at the time of birth. This may indicate a life full of limitations, obstacles, and human opposition, but at the same time a lot of inner strength and energy.
You are urged to pause and reflect upon your own accumulated history. Take some time for introspection. It may result in a purification process accompanied by some remorse of conscience.
Internally, you are quite different from the way you present yourself externally. You possess a vast reservoir of energy that may be partially hidden even from your own awareness.
Your internal disposition is strong, commanding, open, and of a rare generosity. More and more you should try to bring these characteristics into the open so that they can overcome some of the less desirable aspects of your personality.

Current Fave: 王力宏&张靓颖

I want to be able to do the dolphin!

你取代 这一秒我生命的空白
问题忽然找到答案 不用解释也明白
你的微笑是一个暗号 我能解读那多美好
梦想不到 想永远停留在这一秒
你为我的世界 重新彩绘

是你带我找到另一个天堂
远比想象中的美
我们怀抱里的这一个天堂
另一个梦想
有无限的快乐

相信你是我的另一个天堂
给的爱多么纯粹
因为你而存在这一个天堂
爱是直达的路线
只想陪在你身边

我等待 下一刻再相遇的精彩
踢开每天越来越爱 逻辑就这么简单
生命转到同一个频道 因为我的幸福坐标
我多渺小 能爱着你才最重要
想把你的明天 仔细翻阅

达尔文

我的青春 也不是没伤痕 是明白爱是信仰的延伸
什麼特徵 人缘还是眼神 也不会预知爱不爱的可能

保持单身 忍不住又沉沦 兜著圈子来去又是苦等
人的一生 感情是旋转门 转到了最後真心的就不分

有过竞争 有过牺牲 被爱筛选过程
学会认真 学会忠诚 适者才能生存
懂得永恒 得要我们 进化成更好的人

我的青春 有时还蛮单纯 相信幸福取决於爱的深
读进化论 我赞成达尔文 没实力的就有淘汰的可能

我的替身 已换过多少轮 记忆在旧情人心中变冷 
我的一生 有几道旋转门 转到了最後只剩你我没分

有过竞争 有过牺牲 被爱筛选过程
学会认真 学会忠诚 适者才能生存
懂得永恒 得要我们 进化成更好的人

有过竞争 有过牺牲 被爱筛选过程
学会认真 学会忠诚 适者才能生存
懂得永恒 得要我们 进化成更好的人

懂得永恒 得要我们  进化成更好的人 '

进化成更好的人

I turn 27 today!


This is a not so happy birthday. I guess I could attribute that to work stress, PMS and the usual monday blues. But, I'm thankful for my friends for all their well wishes! And of cos, the highlight of the day must be Estella's birthday songs. The little song bird has definitely brightened my day!

Cinderella

Lea Salonga sang really well, the costumes were very pretty and the carriage was a pleasant surprise!

However, instead of marveling at the love story, I was too focused on the following:
1. Cinderella is materialistic - she wishes to marry the prince just like everyone else.
2. It is not logical for one to fall in love with someone just minutes after knowing each other via a dance.
3. I won't even mention the fairy godmother.
4. Even the prince is shallow - he only noticed cinderella because she was well-dressed and pretty.

To sum it up, I'm too old for fairy tales!
