River HongBao 2012

2012-01-29T14:11:00.012+08:00

Today is the birthday of human beings, known as '人日'. If you haven't been to River Hongbao 2012, you must go and visit it today!

Well, I went to the River HongBao 2012 on the second day of Lunar New Year. Crowds could still be seen around 11pm. I guess there were more people on the first day of LNY.

Took a short and quick walk around the River HongBao 2012, as there were many people crowding around to take photos.

I discovered that there were more games and rides for this year's River HongBao 2012.

I didn't try out the food at River HongBao 2012 food street on that day.

However, I did try out this stall selling vegetarian mee soup at $4 per bowl on another day.

The soup is quite tasty but not the mee.

I was expecting to see people gathering around the 'God of Fortune' who is wearing red again. To my surprise, I saw another version of 'God of Fortune'. I prefer the 'God of Fortune' in red costume.

Looks like a birdpark in the above image.

Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year in the year of Dragon.

Lunar New Year's Eve 2012

2012-01-28T20:47:00.010+08:00

It's the year 2012, and it's my first entry for 2012.

It had been pretty busy for me, especially during the Lunar New Year. Had been doing spring cleaning, buying goodies, new clothes... helping out....painting etc. As usual I went to Chinatown, like most Chinese will do. I went there on the 21st and 22nd of January 2012.

This year, My mum bought some New Year's candies and goodies, one of my favourite, cashew biscuits. Stuffs were going cheap on New Year's Eve, 8 boxes for $10, instead of 7 boxes. We bought 4 containers at $1.50 each for small, and $2 for a big, as there were not much choices left. After we made our payment, the vendors changed their prices to 1 container for $1. In the end, we bought 1 more. Haha.

After our shopping at Chinatown, we went to buy groceries for reunion dinner. It was a simple reunion dinner this year, without steamboat. Just simple vegetarian dishes.

This time, I spent my New Year's Eve watching TV programmes after my reunion dinner with my family. (which I normally didn't watch the TV for the past few years!)

My Christmas Eve for 2011

2011-12-24T21:42:00.000+08:00

Today is Christmas Eve. How are you going to celebrate Christmas this year?

As for me, it's a pretty normal weekend for me. Going out with my family. I might stay away from Orchard Road, although I wish to take photos of the Christmas decorations this year. I remember I went for photo taking during last Christmas's eve, and the area was jammed with people.

I was here on Christmas Eve, this year! Walking around the Marina area.

More photos....

I found that this year's Christmas decors are quite simple, especially Marina Square Shopping Mall.

After Christmas, it's the countdown for 2012.

Winter Solstice Festival 2011

2011-12-24T21:17:00.005+08:00

On the 22nd of December, as usual, I made my 'tangyuan' (glutinuous rice balls) again.

Well, bought all the stuffs used for making 'tangyuan' a few days ago, as in previous years, glutinuous rice flour were out of stock the day before Winter Solstice Festival. However, for this year, I try to make the flour balls stuffed with tiny bits of chocolate and cooked in peanut soup.

I think it tastes better with apple soup.

Review of the movie "Hachi: A Dog's Story"

2011-12-17T20:49:00.007+08:00

It was about 2 months since I last updated my blog. It's because I had not been online frequently using my laptop.

Today, I watched a very touching movie called, "Hachi: A Dog's Story." It was aired about 2 years ago. Anyway, I managed to watch it while I was scrolling for movies to watch on my ipod. I think it is the first time I shed my tears when I watched the movie. It is based on a true story of loyalty and undying love. I was moved by Hachi's perseverance.

The saddest part was that when the Profesor Parker Wilson had passed away for 10 years, Hachi still waits for his owner to appear at the train station everyday at 5 o' clock in the evening. When the day Hachi shows Professor Parker Wilson by fetching the ball to him, it's the last time Hachi saw his owner. If anyone had missed the movie, you can watch the trailer at Youtube.

Singapore Grand Prix - Formula One Night Race 2011

2011-10-12T20:12:00.009+08:00

Weeks passed by, and my blog was not updated.

Anyway, I had took some photos of Formula One Night Race 2011 that was held in Singapore last month. Actually, I would like to upload the photos to my blog during the period of Formula One racing, but just that I didn't have the time to blog about it.

(Entrance to Singapore Formula One Night Race 2011, if you have a ticket.)

(Formula One Official Merchandise for sale.)

I was almost around the town area during the 3 days of Formula One Night Race 2011. I didn't get the tickets, because it was extremely expensive. So I walked around the shopping malls, and managed to catch a glimpse of the race.

You can have a good view at Marina Square's foodcourt.

The Singapore Formula One Night Race 2011's fever was over, I'll still anticipate for next year's race.

Review of the movie "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark"

2011-09-21T20:49:00.003+08:00

I managed to watch a movie yesterday, and it was years ago that I had last seen a movie in cinema. Actually, it was not cheap to watch the movies in theatres nowadays, so I hardly visited the cinemas. Initially, I wanted to watch a 3D movie by MayDay, but I found that the ticket was expensive, and I think the story plot wasn't that interesting. Anyway, the price was considered cheap rather than the concert itself, where you can catch some scenes from the previous concert in the movie.

In the end, I choose to watch a horror movie, "Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark" by Guillermo Del Toro, starring Guy Pearce, Katie Holmes and Bailee Madison. The story is quite interesting and exciting especially near to the ending part, where Sally, her father Alex and his girlfriend Kim were about to leave the house. It turned out to be a sad story as Kim sacrificed herself in order to save Sally in the end. If Sally didn't try to open the fireplace, the creatures would not be able to harm. Well, it's my prediction.

You can catch the trailer of the movie in Youtube.

June 2011 - Malacca Trip

2011-09-13T20:27:00.002+08:00

Today, I'm going to write a blog post on my first Malacca trip about 3 months ago. It was a last minute plan on this 2 day 1 night trip with my family.

At noon, we took the train to Kranji MRT station and boarded a bus into Johor Bahru. Everything was on budget. By the time we reached Larkin bus terminal, it was already 2pm. There was no tickets for the 3pm coach, so we decided to have our lunch at Mcdonalds while waiting for the 4pm coach to Malacca. I'm surprised to see that they had fried chicken added in their menu, and the prices for their set meals were cheaper!

(^ Lunch for the day )

After our lunch, we had a walk around Larkin bus terminal since our coach would only arrived at 4pm.

Actually, I don't have the habit of going to public toilets, in places like Larkin bus terminal. However, I was afraid that I might need to go to the toilet halfway throughout the whole journey, so in the end, I went. As expected, the floors were wet and rubbish everywhere.

Finally, the coach arrived and it took us almost two and a half hours to reach Melaka Sentral. By the time we reached Malacca, it was already evening. After alighting the coach, we quickly boarded another bus at the price of RM1 each to our hotel for check-in. We reached our hotel at about 7:15pm.

After the check-in, we went for our lunch at a food stall opposite the hotel that we were staying in. I guess it was a famous chicken rice stall since there were lots of celebrities photos hanging on the wall. We ordered a plate of chicken rice each, and drinks, of course.

(^ Our table number. )

(^ My dinner for the day. )

Later, we took a walk around Jonker Street.

(^ Outside view of Malacca's San Shu Gong. )

(^ Local products from Malacca's San Shu Gong. )

Below photo is a night 'pasar malam' (night market) along Jonker Street which only opens on weekends.

We decided to come back later since the vendors would still be around until very late. So we headed to Mahkota Parade shopping mall. On our way to Mahkota Prade, we came across these places...

(^ The Menara Taming Sari revolving tower. )

(^ outside view of Dataran Pahlawan Megamall. )

(^ carpark of Mahkota Parade shopping mall. )

It's a small 2-storey shopping mall and I found that there's nothing much to shop there. It's about 9pm by the time we reached the mall.

(^ You can have a short massage after walking around the mall. )

Surprised to see coin-operated massage chairs in shopping malls. I took a try by putting a dollar note for 3 minutes. It's a fun experience although I don't feel comfortable sitting on it.

(^ Mini karaoke booths!! )

Another thing that I'm excited about was to find so many mini karaoke booths in the arcade! I can't find this kind of machines anymore that uses token to operate.

After having a 'mini concert', we headed to Jonker street again before going back to the hotel.

My brother bought a stick filled with potato slices from this stall. Average taste.

(^ Looks like potato chips... )

(^ Drink that I bought in Malacca, but the taste isn't that great! )

It was already 11:45pm when we got back to our hotel room.

End of Day 1.

=========================================

We woke up at about 10am and stayed at our hotel room until checked out at 11:45am. We went to have our lunch at a nyonya restaurant.

(^ My favourite drink! )

Most of their dishes tastes delicious, and I like their Pineapple juice.

After our lunch, we walked to Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall and Mahkota Parade again since we had some time to spare.

(^ The shops directory of Dataran Pahlawan Megamall... )

Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall was so huge that I don't even know where I was located in the mall. I don't even have the time to walk around the mall due to our tight schedule. We had only about an hour of free time before heading to Melaka Sentral.

(^ A piece is enough... )

Before we leave Malacca, we bought 2 slices of Melaka famous layer cake from Nadeje Patisserie cafe, the original and tiramisu flavours respectively. Fluffy, smooth and light in texture, it tastes like sponge cake with layers of ice cream in between.

(^ secretly took a photo of the interior view of the bus. )

We took the 'red' bus back to Melaka Sentral from Dataran Pahlawan Melaka Megamall at 2:55pm. The trip costs RM1.50 each and it took about an hour to reach Melaka Sentral.

We booked the 6pm coach back to Singapore. By the time we reached Singapore, it was already 9:30pm. We didn't get any souveniers or local products from Malacca, however I bought an 'imitation' brand purse instead.

Things that I don't understand

2011-08-02T22:12:00.006+08:00

It had been almost 3 months since I had last blogged. Within these few months, many things happened, and it turned out to be so stressful, mentally and physically. Firstly, my computer let me down, so I was unable to blog for the last months. Anyway, it was a small problem, for not being to able to use the computer.

The most crucial matter that made me feel stressed and depressing has to do with my brother. I couldn't believe that my brother actually lied to me and our parents. Maybe, he has his own problems that made him wanna lie to us, or perhaps, I had neglected him. Actually, I just get to know the truth recently, but the lies had already been built up for years. After I get to know the truth, I felt extremely upset, including our parents. We are his close ones and yet he chooses not to let us know anything.

We trusted him so much in the past, because we thought that he is a sensible boy who knows how to take care of himself. Well, for now, I need to rethink about it. I don't understand the reason for his change, especially after getting into the workforce.

A Reminder to Myself

2011-04-26T00:29:00.000+08:00

It had been more than a month from my last post. I had been really busy for the past few weeks, and had only slept for about 5 hours daily. No matter how, I tried to keep myself awake today, and post a blog entry.

Yesterday, it was a tough day, racing against time to get my work done. The workload is increasing day by day. I can feel it. I was given a duty by my superior but I was sad that I didn't get it well done. I tried to keep myself positive anyway, no use in the blaming. One has to keep looking forward.

I wish I can blog more in the near future. My eyes are so tiring. *YAWNS*

Food and Beverage Fair 2011

2011-03-17T23:43:00.001+08:00

After the I.T Show, there will be a Food and Beverage Fair going on at Suntec City. I just got back from the Food and Beverage Fair.

Well, I managed to try out some of the food, like the Chicken Rice Balls at $2.50. I don't really recommend it, because there is only 3 small balls of chicken rice and it tastes like glutinous rice. Egg tart is my favourite at the fair, but it would be better if the crust is more crispy.

To my surprise, I discovered that there are about 4 stalls selling coffee products. I think Singaporeans love to drink kopi. I didn't find any great buys for this time too. The stalls are almost the same as the previous years.

An Unlucky Monday

2011-03-15T01:44:00.000+08:00

Suddenly at this hour, I was writing 3 posts at once today.

Yesterday was a lousy Monday blues. Firstly, I had only 3 hours of sleep, got up early and returned home very late. I told myself, it's fine with just 3 hours of sleep, at least I got some rest. Secondly, when I took my brunch with my mum, I'm surprised to know that a mixed vegetables meal costs eight dollars for a small plate of braised peanuts, steamed egg, stir-fry chicken and two plates of rice at a neigbourhood estate. I guess ordering mixed vegetables rice can get 'kanna chop carrot head' easily. Just my 2 cents. I understand that they need to earn money to maintain a business but a huge raise is too much, especially in HDB areas.

It was definitely a tiring and unlucky Monday.

Events going on at Suntec City

2011-03-15T01:00:00.000+08:00

Recently, from last Friday to Sunday, I was heading for Suntec City because the annual I.T show is back. Besides the I.T show, the Body Shop Warehouse Sale was held in Suntec City too. I remembered from my blog post, I went for the I.T show last year too. However this year, I was not too keen in the I.T show, because of the crowds. I was more interested in the Body Shop Warehouse Sale instead.

I found that there were lots of stuffs to buy this time at the Body Shop Warehouse Sale, and the staffs will try to bring out some offer products too at anytime of the day.

Bought quite alot of stuffs at the warehouse sale on last Friday, mostly on pouches. I think I spent most of the time at the warehouse sale rather than the I.T show. But I went to take a peek at I.T show on Sunday, and just bought a screen protector this time.

Whenever there is an I.T show, it always attracts crowds. You'll get a hard time finding seats at eateries, long queues at taxi stands and passengers waiting for buses. Also, people pushing through the crowds and flyers all over the ground are very common in this kind of big event too.

Food for the Day

2011-03-15T00:53:00.001+08:00

3 days ago, I had phad thai for my late dinner at Kopitiam. It was a day that I supposed to be anticipated in but it turned out to be a plain and boring day. The 'phad thai' tastes quite okay. It tastes like a mixture of salad and rojak after mixing the crushed peanuts together with the kway tiao.

After my meal, I bought some dim sums back for tomorrow's brunch. Initially, I thought that the stall was selling 'Wife Biscuits' because on the menu, it just stated 'Wife Biscuit'. However to my surprise, it was 'Husband Biscuit' that it was selling that day. So I bought the biscuits. It was my first time having 'Husband Biscuit'.

Review of the movie "Gnome and Juliet"

2011-03-04T22:23:00.002+08:00

I just watched the movie, "Gnome and Juliet", and the title of the movie would make me think of William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet". It is basically an animated film that revolves the two groups of gnomes, Blue and Red, and they are garden objects staying outside the house of Mrs. Montague and Mr. Capulet's house. The gnomes seems to be enemies with each other, just like the two elderly people, Mrs. Montague, which represents the Blue section, and Mr. Capulet, which represents the Red section.

*above image from inSing.com

Actually , I don't really like the plot in "Gnome and Juliet". But the part that I like most in "Gnome and Juliet" would be the animations, the gnomes actions and their jokes. It is quite hilarious. Especially the part when Benny uses the 'banana' brand computer and he is going to buy a large lawnmower online.

However, the story of "Gnome and Juliet" has a happy ending, and both of them are getting married.

什么是婚姻？

2011-02-25T13:43:00.006+08:00

刚看了一部现在还在播放的TVB电视剧，〈〈Only You 只有您〉〉。在第二集里，有一幕我觉得她所说的话很有趣。

那就是‘甜姐’（李司祺饰）和‘陈太’（罗冠兰饰）里的对话。‘陈太’的那句 “真言” 让我印象深刻。

她说：“其实婚姻就像一个关了门的房间，你不知道里面是乱还是整齐。把门打开了，原来里面乱七八糟。有些人会走进去，很用心地把它收拾整齐，可是有些人收拾到一半就会放弃，去开别的房门。可是又有谁知道下一个房间是混乱还是整齐呢？”

正所谓，“爱情和婚姻，都是需要时间，耐心和毅力去经营的。”
你觉得呢？

Cooking Time - Veggies Udon

2011-02-24T00:18:00.000+08:00

I have been craving for udon noodles these few days, so I decided to whip up a simple udon meal at home. The ingredients are all veggies, so it should be a healthy udon dish. It is my first time cooking udon, so I don't expect my udon dish to taste delicious. At least, it is still edible. Anyway, I somehow overcooked the broccolis. I should have cooked the broccolis in boiling water.

I am giving my dish a name, 'Veggies Udon'.

That's how my dish 'Veggies Udon' look like...

My First Meal With My Family After Chinese New Year

2011-02-19T02:59:00.005+08:00

I did not get to update my blog again for 2 weeks. Anyway, life is as usual after Chinese New Year.

Just that, I had a simple meal with my mother and brother last Sunday, at odd hours, which I did not get to experience before. It was considered a dinner for my brother, however, it was supper for me and my mother.

My bowl of almond cream dessert for supper.

Well, I told myself that it was a make up for the Chinese New Year's reunion dinner, even though there wasn't any steamboat.

Who says that there must be steamboat for Chinese New Year's reunion dinner? I always find that the kind of food served is not really important, but the most enjoyable part is that we can have a meal together.

My Simple Chinese New Year

2011-02-03T20:00:00.003+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year in the Year of Rabbit. Today is the first day of Chinese New Year and I just wake up after a few hours of rest. I didn't get to sleep yesterday, therefore I try to catch a few hours of sleep after my visit to relatives' house for ‘拜年’. Frankly speaking, I don't really like Chinese New Year after grown up. I dislike the way of being questioned by the relatives.

For this year's Chinese New Year, I made my breakfast early because I did not sleep!!! My first day of Chinese New Year is a simple meal, a bowl of canned vegetable beehoon!

It was Chinese New Year's Eve yesterday, and I had a very simple 'reunion dinner' at Burger King with my mother. It's the first time that I had burger for a 'reunion dinner'. I wanted to get some groceries for my reunion dinner, but I had to wait for my neighbour to finish washing the floor before I could get out. By the time I get out, it was already near evening.

After my 'reunion dinner', I went to the River Hongbao 2011 and look around. This time round, I found that the decorations are quite creative.

For example,

using recycle materials like bottles to set up the model of the buildings.

Later, I had some food at the Nanjing Food Fair at the River Hongbao 2011.

A bowl of Siew Mai, thin skin wrapped with meat fillings.

HK styled Glutinous Rice, it's really sticky!

Just took a walk around the River Hongbao 2011 and took photos of the exhibits and decorations there.

'The Phoenix'

And 'the Dragon'.

People gathering around the God of Fortune...

The model of the 'Guanyin Temple' looks so real.

Things that I never encountered before

2011-01-27T02:08:00.001+08:00

I was not updating for my blog for the past 2 weeks. I thought I will be updating regularly for that particular week before last week, but my brother gave me a surprise by giving us a vacation trip. I was extremely tired after the trip.

And last week, I was looking forward to my brother's return from his trip, and yet he didn't say clearly for his arrival timing and my family waited for him until midnight. In the end, in order to save on midnight taxi fare, we spent the night at the airport. It was the first time I spent my time at the airport. That's all I can remember for last week.

Yesterday, it seemed to be raining all the day, and it was an unlucky day. I slipped onto the ground and hurt my bottom while i was taking the stairs down in the evening. It was because I was focusing on someone in front of me that I paid no attention to my wear out shoe soles on slippery floor. I guess I need to get a new pair of shoes.

Right now, my bottom still hurts, especially when I sit down.

Updates for past 2 days

2011-01-08T02:22:00.000+08:00

I hadn't been updating my blog for 2 days. Actually, I like to update my blog yesterday but I was home late and my brother gave me a surprise again. I'm trying to recall the things happened for the past 2 days and blog briefly.

On 6th January 2011, I kept sneezing and having blocked nose again for the entire day after I woke up. I don't know why this sympton happened to me again. Is it because I was having junk food the day before?

On 7th January 2011, My cold is getting better, at least I had stopped sneezing and having blocked nose. I took a taxi today and it's a coincidence that the taxi driver actually remembered my last destination which I took his taxi earlier, that was about 2 weeks ago. I don't even have such a good memory.

I guess I might have time to blog more next week, as I might get lonely again. However, I have my blog to accompany me.

The philosophy of junk food

2011-01-05T23:48:00.003+08:00

I'm getting restless and tired for the day, because I found myself relying on tidbits and water for all my meals today. I know it's unhealthy to take in junk food. Anyway, my tidbits meal can be my breakfast, lunch or dinner, as long as I'll not go hungry.

Actually, it's not an unusual routine for me. When you think of people who have problems with their daily meals, especially in poor countries, you would therefore find yourself fortunate even you have junk food for your meals.

Treasure tidbits too even if it's junk food.

Sunny or Rainy?

2011-01-04T22:44:00.001+08:00

Today is a plain day to me, but the nice thing is that there's no rain. If I can make a choice on the weather, I would prefer a sunny day.

Advantages for a sunny day:
I would not get myself wet, especially my feet.
My clothes get dry easily.
I can wear light clothings.
My umbrella can rest in my bag.
Do lots of outdoor activities.

Disadvantages for a sunny day:
It makes me perspire under the hot sun.
Easily gets hot tempered.

What is your choice?

Review of the movie "Doraemon: Nobita's Great Battle of the Mermaid King".

2011-01-03T23:35:00.004+08:00

I'm thinking of writing a review that I'd watched recently, on the movie, Doraemon: Nobita's Great Battle of the Mermaid King. Watching movies online is now one of my activity that I would normally do when I'm surfing the net. So I didn't visit the cinema for many years.

I'm not a Doraemon fanatic, but I remember I used to watch the episodes when I was young on television. I guess everyone would wish to have a cat robot, like Doraemon. From this movie, I began to know that Doraemon's sister is called Dorami. I always thought that cute yellow cat is Doraemon's girlfriend.

It's a funny animation movie where Nobita feels like diving, so Doraemon uses the underwater pump simulator and makes the entire city to go underwater. When they wants to put the underwater pump simulator to a stop by pumping back the water after their dive, a mermaid named Sophia was left behind. An adventure therefore begins.

A nice movie I would recommend for all ages. The music in the movie is great, especially the theme song, "Yume wo Kanaete Doraemon" by MAO. Enjoy this song on Youtube below.

Recap Christmas Eve 2010

2011-01-02T23:49:00.010+08:00

As promised, if you had followed my earlier blog post, I'm uploading the photos that I took during Christmas Eve. Although last year's Christmas was over, a brief rewind of Christmas decorations in Singapore's Orchard Road.

Today's post: Uploaded the nice photos that I took on Christmas Eve 2010.

Christmas Eve at Orchard Road

Crowds everywhere...

Gifts for sale!

Another elf in charge of packaging.

A snowman in hot and humid city, Singapore!

Bubbles = Snow?

One of my favourite photos. Beautiful lights!

Very tall Christmas Tree! Many people crowd around the tree, so I took this photo from the opposite side.

Another favourite photo that I like. An elegant Christmas decoration!

First day of 2011

2011-01-02T02:39:00.001+08:00

It's a raining heavily on 1st Jan 2011. Despite of the rain, I went out in the evening and arrived at Expo quite late. So I managed to grab a bite first before heading for the Metro sales. My char kway teow for dinner was pathetic, and I didn't even feel full. All I could see on my plate was a few pieces of vegetables, kway tiao and noodles. That's all. It's a pity I didn't get to take a photo. Actually, I'm still feeling hungry right now while blogging.

It seems like a normal day for me, although I saw a neighbour whom I don't feel like seeing when I got out of my house.

On the 365th day of 2010

2011-01-01T00:06:00.001+08:00

It's now 1st Jan 2011 and when I get home, the first thing to do is to blog. I didn't get to blog for the past few days because I went for a short vacation. However, I'll try to blog about it later.

On 31st December 2010, it's a pretty normal day for me. As usual, I didn't go for any countdowns, because I dislike crowds. After my lunch at the hawker centre, I just popped down to City Hall area and walked about the shopping malls. At night, it attracted more crowds, perhaps they were there for the fireworks, as there was a countdown party nearby, which was at the Marina Bay Float.

I remember that I was at Esplanade on 31st December 2009. I supposed that's the place where most people gathered for countdowns.
Happy New Year 2011!

Review of the movie 'Tangled'

2010-12-27T23:45:00.003+08:00

从来没想过头发有这么大的魔力，虽然只是个神话。

刚在网上看了一部动画片，“Tangled”。我最喜欢电影里的音乐和动画。
可能没有电影院里的视觉，但是还是一部好看的动画片。
最感动的其中一幕是Rapunzel父母在孔明灯，期盼公主能早日回到他们身边。

好喜欢电影里的歌词及音乐，故事也蛮感人的。

(One of my favourite part from the movie)
All those days, watching from the windows
All those years, outside looking in
All that time, never even knowing

Just how blind I've been, now I'm here
Blinking in the starlight, now I'm here
Suddenly I see, standing here

It's oh, so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last, I see the sunlight
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last, I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted

All at once, everything looks different
Now that I see you

我的圣诞节

2010-12-26T02:18:00.000+08:00

已经有两天没有写blog了，因为这两天很累，而且太晚上网了。
所以今天补写这两天是如何度过的。

12月24日，还好晚上的天气不错，为了感染一下圣诞节的气氛，
就到乌节路逛。看到很多圣诞装饰布满整个乌节路，的确很有圣诞气氛。
今年来乌节路看圣诞装饰的人也很多。我已最快的速度，
大约1一个半钟头的时间游览几乎大部分的乌节路，
只是纯拍照。（可能迟一些才upload这里。）
当我乘搭巴士回家时，车上也是非常拥挤的。

12月25日，反而这天的天气是雨天。圣诞节这天到了Expo去逛逛。
那里也是很多人，可能是假日的原因，还有那里有一些sales在进行着。
这次的sales蛮多东西看的。

好快圣诞节就过了，期待的我想是新的一年，2011！

平凡及简单的 post

2010-12-24T02:25:00.000+08:00

12月23日，是个平凡的一天。
只是晚上到超级市场买了东西后，提着一袋袋的货品时，
不小心发生了小状况。
我的脚不小心被其中一个货品的边角给划伤，不是什么大问题，
虽然我的脚的伤口现在还有点痛。过几天会康复的啦！

冬至=汤圆？

2010-12-22T23:54:00.006+08:00

好快又到冬至这一天了，又开始搓汤圆的时候啦！
和往年一样，在家亲自搓汤圆，这次又把亲手自做的汤圆给拍下来。
这次的汤圆的馅料和去年不同，今天尝试把苹果当馅料。
虽然材料简单，可是我觉得味道还不错。

这是我的 “汤圆” 杰作！

好大颗的汤圆！

巴士上的趣事

2010-12-22T01:59:00.000+08:00

心情的好与坏其实在一线之间。这一切可以发生在一天之内。

12月21日，两件事情竟然在巴士上发生。其中一件应该是经常看到的情况吧。
在繁忙时间，巴士上通常都挤满了乘客。好不容易看到最后排有3个空位。
当我锁定最后排其中2个座位时，刚好在我前方有一位 sporty 男生，
身上背着一个像是网球拍的东西，竟然选择坐在最后排的中间。
这样，他的左右都是空位。在这个情况下，我提议妈妈坐在另外的座位，而我只好站着。
原来，他在第二个站后就下车了。最受不了的是，当他要下车的时候，他还不小心踩到我的脚趾。
其实，他很快就下车了，何必要选择坐在最后排的位子呢？
看起来很 sporty 的男孩，应该可以多站一会儿吧，反正他的路程不是很远。

另外一件是蛮罕见的，也是发生在巴士上。
突然有一位韩国旅客转过头来向我问路。我们还聊了一下。
虽然不是很了解她所说的英语，当勉强还听得懂一些。
还好有一件趣事让我抚平一下心情。
虽然是一件简单的问路过程，可是对我而言，是非常深刻的。

习惯

2010-12-21T02:03:00.000+08:00

习惯在晚上写blog，也许是喜欢夜晚的平静。
可以让我放下平日紧张的情绪，静静地思考，慢慢专心写blog。
不受外界的任何的干扰，才是写作最大的享受和乐趣。
尽心地回想今天所经历的一切。
或许是快乐兴奋的一天，也可能是辛酸悲愤的。

12月20日，是一个心情差的一天。被一些突如其来的所谓‘小事’所影响。
有时候为了能和弟弟有多点相处的时间，愿意放弃自己原本想做的事。
可是弟弟不理解这份苦心，总是独来独往。可能他习惯了这种生活吧！

习惯有很多种，看自己如何去分辨及衡量它。

Orijunielle is getting it's FIRST.... anniversary today!

2010-12-20T02:23:00.000+08:00

Time flies. I'd been writing Orijunielle blog for a year! Haha, even though I'm not writing the blog everyday. Actually, I would love to pen down everything that I'd encountered daily or my thoughts, just that I didn't have the habit to do so. I hope that starting from today onwards, I can write almost everyday, so that I can read back what I'd done for that particular year. I shall give it a try. There will be a sense of achievement.

Writing daily might be torturing (especially sometimes you need to brainstorm for topics), but I'm sure when you read back what you have written, you will find it amazing.

Happy 1st anniversary, Orijunielle!!!

Blog update

2010-12-17T02:47:00.000+08:00

It is now going to be 3am and I am still awake. So I decided to write something to my blog. I noticed that I had not been updating my blog for almost 2 months. Wow! I hope I can write more from today onwards.

For the past 2 months, there's ups and downs, sadness and happiness moments. I just do not have the time to write it. Besides, I'm addicted to the games in Facebook. Haha.

I'm heading for bed now. I'll try to blog again these few days. Because, the blog + website is going to celebrate it's FIRST birthday in about 3 days time.

Go 'Alive'

2010-10-05T22:29:00.003+08:00

I went for the 'Alive Gallery' exhibition last Saturday. I reached there quite late but managed to view the exhibits within 2 hours, at a fast pace. I was somehow attracted to the exhibition because it was stated as a Southeast Asia premiere where paintings come alive. It was an art exhibition on paintings and the history behind the paintings. I'd gained some knowledge about art paintings and their history through the exhibition.

I got to know the types of art techniques like fresco, sfumato, watercolour...etc. From what I remembered, I saw paintings of 'The Wedding of the Virgin' and animation painting of 'The School of Athens' by Raffaello Sanzio, 'The Birth of Venus' by Sandro Botticelli and a 3D animation of the 4 statues on Greek gods, Apollo, Nike, Venus and Hermes. There are lots of others paintings too but these paintings gave me a very deep impression on it. There's also a 3D animation on Leonardo da Vinci's painting, 'Mona Lisa'. The interesting part is that the 'Mona Lisa' in the painting can actually answer you if you asked her any questions. I was watching the kids asking her many funny questions and I saw 'Mona Lisa' roll her eyes and moves her arms!!! I wondered if there's was someone behind the wall, even though the kids did asked her this question.

Too bad, no photography is allowed in the gallery. However, there were 2 designed photo taking spots allowed. They were 'Avenue at Middelharnis' by Meindert Hobbema and 'Cafe Terrace at Night' by Vincent Van Gogh.

A mockup of Vincent Van Gogh's 'Cafe Terrace at Night'.

It was a great experience for visiting the Alive Gallery and I wished I went there earlier, so that I can take my time to view the gallery. I was already satisfied anyway because I had visited the exhibition.

经历的阶段

2010-09-29T23:13:00.003+08:00

好久没有写blog了，快接近一个月了。因为最近不知道该blog些什么！今天我打算blog人生所经历的阶段与角色。这是我个人的看法，我想这也是每个人的想法吧！

小时候，好想快点长大。
小时候，无忧无虑，没有烦恼。

青少年的时候，开始为了学业而烦恼。
青少年的时候，开始想认识‘爱情’，这个朋友。

踏入社会的阶段，为了工作而奔波。
踏入社会的阶段，被亲友‘关心’的询问自己现在的状况（指是否有拍拖，结婚或生小孩）而苦恼。
踏入社会的阶段，开始为金钱而忙碌。

到了中年的时候，继续为了事业而奋斗。
到了中年的时候，看着周围的朋友有了自己的家庭而感到压力。（指未婚者）
到了中年的时候，开始为了孩子奔波。（指已婚者）

年老的时候，在乎的是身体的健康。
年老的时候，关注的是孩子未来的路。
年老的时候，希望能儿孙满堂。

我想以上是一般人会经历的事情。小时候的烦恼很少，慢慢随着自己扮演的角色而增加。时间是残忍的。好像这个topic很适合S.H.E的“不想长大”，这首歌！我不想不想长大。。。

My dishes for Teachers Day.

2010-09-01T23:17:00.003+08:00

Today is Teachers Day and I wish all teachers a 'Happy Teachers Day'.

I tried to whip up some dish today, and it turns out, at least edible. My dishes for the day, Stir-fry Spinach tofu with chicken and Black bean soup. I learnt this soup from the website, just that I make some changes in it. As for the Stir-fry Spinach tofu with chicken, I just cook it by heart, and I start to like the taste of spinach now.

I enjoy this dish very much, Stir-fry Spinach tofu with chicken.

I don't like the taste of my Black Bean soup.

The Black bean soup is quite a failed attempt. I found that the black beans are very hard and I don't like the taste. Howver, black beans is a nutritious food as they are high in antioxidants, fibre, vitamin B6, minerals...etc. It helps to protect people from getting heart diseases, cancer and negative effects of aging.

For black beans, I just washed it and rinsed off the 'blacky' water. Is this the way to do it? Maybe, I try to look for another way to make the soup next time.

Youth Olympic Games 2010 Closing Ceremony

2010-08-26T21:59:00.015+08:00

I haven't been blogging for almost 12 days, since my last post was on the opening ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games 2010. And today is the closing ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games 2010. I just watched the live telecast of the closing ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games 2010 and it lasted for about 1hr 15 mins. Although there was a slight delay, I was still able to watch the whole ceremony on time.

I found that the performance for the closing ceremony was more on dancing and acrobats for this time round. I prefer the performance on the opening ceremony instead. Also, there are fireworks display again for the ceremony, and I guess most people look forward to the fireworks display, especially spectators at The Float@Marina Bay and nearby. Why did I say so? It's because actually I was around the area for the past 12 days, and I could see people rushed, just to see the few minutes of fireworks display.

Again, some screenshots of the Youth Olymic Games 2010 closing ceremony.

Fireworks that everybody anticipates!

This screenshot looks amazing with spectacular fireworks.

Pretty lightings display.

Wow, the next Youth Olympic Games (2nd YOG), will be held in Nanjing China, in the year 2014. I guess it will be an another exciting games!

Youth Olympic Games 2010 Opening Ceremony

2010-08-14T22:40:00.021+08:00

Today, 14th of August, marked a special day for Singapore, the Youth Olympic Games 2010. I am now watching the live telecast of the opening ceremony of the YOG 2010.

Opening Ceremony of Youth Olympic Games 2010 (YOG) in Singapore

Wow, so many spectators from all over the world joining in the event

It's the FIRST official games held in Singapore and I am sure almost all the people in Singapore will be watching the ceremony. If I'm not wrong, there will be 204 countries around the world with 3600 young olympians participating in the Youth Olympic Games 2010. Everyone is getting excited over the Youth Olympic Games, including me.

I found that the opening ceremony focus more on music performance, like singing and dancing plus many performers are youths and children. Actually, I hardly watch sports events but to support the YOG which is first held in Singapore, I might watch the games.

Lots of fireworks to be seen during the opening ceremony but what I enjoyed most is the special effects during the first part of the performance and the story of the boxing champion.

Very beautiful fireworks!

The word 'WELCOME'

Singapore's flag raising and national anthem.

I like this segment best.

Speech time...

Olympic FLAG raising!!!

4th torch bearer in torch relay.

Lighthouse being lighted up for the next 12 days...

Overall, the opening ceremony is a success. I wonder if it's possible to view the lighthouse for the next 12 days outside The Float from far, as I guess no outsiders is allowed to go into the platform.

A 'Spicy' Day

2010-08-06T03:23:00.011+08:00

I am blogging at about 3AM+ right now because I couldn't get to sleep after a hearty meal just now. That was yesterday. I remember I didn't have curry chicken rice for about 3 years, and yesterday I ate it. I used to eat this dish alot in the past but after watching a drama, I didn't dare to eat it. Actually I don't feel like going out yesterday but my mother wanted to go out. Therefore, I felt like eating something that I hardly ate, out of the 'blue'. It's quite amazing that my mood did turn better after the spicy meal.

However, I saw 'someone' which reminds me of that 'stranger friend' AGAIN. This 'someone' features resembles that 'stranger friend', who left a deep scar in my mind few years back. I have to admit that when I saw this 'someone', things might turned out bad later at the end of the day. You can say I'm superstitious, and after that I couldn't believe I saw my '八卦' relative this time round after I had ordered my black pepper chicken rice. I had to avoid his sight. It was a torture as I couldn't enjoy my meal at peace.

Took some photos again...

The curry chicken rice is quite spicy.

I like the taste of the black pepper chicken, but it will be better if the meat is tender.

心底的感触

2010-07-31T23:06:00.002+08:00

总觉得身边的东西一直在改变，包括家人。不知道为何今天有如此大的感触。

是不是有了朋友的陪伴，就不喜欢有家人陪伴？
是不是习惯了独立，就不希望让家人干涉？
是不是学历地位不同，就没有话题了？
是不是宁愿独来独往，也不希望有家人随行了？

知不知道有家人陪伴是件幸福的事。
知不知道有家人的干涉是应为他们在乎你。
知不知道有话题是因为彼此有默契。
知不知道家人的随行是担心你会感到孤单。

我的感受，只有写在这里。我怀念以前小时候的生活，没有距离。现在感觉越来越疏远，陌生了。。。

NDP Rehearsal Show 2010

2010-07-24T23:57:00.012+08:00

I haven't been updating my blog for almost a week. I'm trying to recall what I had done for last Saturday. I was suddenly given a pair of tickets to watch the NDP rehearsal show from my bro during the last minute. I wasn't really prepared for it. When I reached the venue at around 5pm+, the seats are already quite full. Luckily, the weather was sunny and the view was considered fine for me. I was able to catch the parade not long after seated. I'm busy taking photos that I found that the time passes so quickly.

I remember the last time I went to watch the NDP show was 5 years ago, and it was at Padang. This time round, it is still at Padang and I like this venue. I also remember that the process of getting the tickets to the NDP gives me a deep impression when I was young. Attending the NDP show gives me lots of memories of the past.

I managed to pick some photos from the NDP rehearsal show which I took last Saturday.

Look at the crowds! The seats are all occupied!!

The parade starts...

Wow, this year's fun pack looks beautiful, I like the designs of the tote bags!

The parachuters! One of my favourite show from the parade! I managed to flash it...

Big battle tanks that you can hardly see it... unless you work for the Army.

I like this year's night performance, with lots of fireworks in almost every performance...

I enjoyed watching the whole NDP show very much and of course the tote bag design with the stuffs inside.... The ‘感觉’ to watch NDP live at the scene is different from watching from television. Really anticipate to next year's NDP if there's a chance to get the tickets.

Another Pasta Cooking Attempt

2010-07-16T23:19:00.004+08:00

I tried out cooking pasta again, using different sauces, alfredo portobello and mushroom tomato sauce. This time I didn't add any ingredients in it because I would like to taste the sauces with the pastas. The alfredo portobello sauce is creamy and contains a strong aroma of milk. I actually prefer alfredo portobello sauce than mushroom tomato sauce. Just that, I couldn't stand the smell of the alfredo portobello sauce during the cooking. I took the photos again for my cooking.

My Cooking for the Day

2010-07-12T21:18:00.001+08:00

My Easy Cooking for the day, POT-A-TO Pasta with tomato sauce. I tried cooking pasta before, but just want to try out using different ingredients. I find that the purple potatoes shouldn't pair up in this dish. It tastes quite weird with pasta, but I have to say the purple potatoes are delicious that I even hurt my finger while peeling the potatoes. Perhaps I should try it with other recipes.

My comment for POT-A-TO Pasta with tomato sauce: There is still room for improvement for the taste, more tomato sauce will be better and a change in ingredients.

NLB Library Book Sale 2010

2010-07-11T23:52:00.006+08:00

Just came back from the NLB Library Book Sale 2010, and it was really crowded and lots of books scattered around. All books were all mixed together. I spent about 4 hours staying at the sale, browsing around the books. Actually, I discovered that there wasn't many books that I had interest in for this year's Book Sale. Although there wasn't many books that I had interest in, I managed to get quite a few on crafts. The books were so heavy and my hands turned red.

Took some photos from the Library Book Sale below:

Books scattered around in the wagon

It's near the evening, lesser crowds.

Lots of 'readers' crowding around the wagons

Failed attempt on Frying Onions

2010-07-08T23:53:00.005+08:00

I tried to fry onions today, but it turns out bad. 2 'F's. First and Failed attempt. Actually, I want to make fried onion rings, but I didn't get the right shape. Never mind then I thought, so I followed the methods on the recipe and still I couldn't get it right. The crumbs couldn't coat onto the onions. In the end, the dish doesn't look like fried onions, looks like 'chao ta' (burnt) onions. At least it looks like a fried item.

Perhaps might be frying onions again, but not so soon. Because I don't want to have so much fried stuffs often.

My Pet, Orijun

2010-07-06T22:47:00.003+08:00

I came across an interesting website called 'Meromero Park'. It is cool that everyone can keeps a pet on the net. It is a popular website and it's first introduced in Japan. Luckily there is a chinese version now. I just started keeping a pet named 'Orijun' today and I'm still figuring out this pet keeping game. You can see my pet 'Orijun' on your right side. Orijun is very cute and likes to eat alot.

I guess I'm going to be addicted to Meromero Park from today onwards. I hope there are more pet choices to choice from in the future, because there are only 3 pets to choose from at the moment. Also hope that there's an English version of Meromero park too.

Review of 'The Simpsons Movie'

2010-07-04T22:59:00.004+08:00

It's fourth of July, and it's United States 'Independence Day'. Therefore I intend to watch an U.S cartoon. So I watched the 'The Simpsons Movie' on the internet and I find that it's hilarious at the beginning of the story. This movie was shown 3 years ago. Actually, I watched 'The Simpsons' when I was young, and I always complained why there are kissing and strangling scenes in the show. In this movie, these scenes happened again. The Simpsons is a cartoon that always have crude humor and violence, that's the trademark of United States cartoons.

This movie revolves around the topic, pollution. The Lake Springfield is badly polluted and the city of Springfield was ordered to clean up and bans dump wastes. At the same time, Homer adopts the pig (named Spider Pig) from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered.

The funny part is that Homer dumps the silo which contains Spider Pig's waste into Lake Springfield. Homer was not told about the banning of dumping wastes into the lake. Therefore, the EPA placed a large dome over Springfield but the Simpsons family managed to escape through a sinkhole. And they went to Alaska. (haha, Homer received $1000 for entering Alaska) In the end, Marge took her children back to Springfield after watching the news, having the intention to save Springfield. Homer got to know about it and went back later. Homer was able to save Springfield on time by getting the time bomb out of the dome.

I enjoyed the front part of the story best. I guess there's the only movie of 'The Simpsons'. I would prefer the half an hour for each episode better.

My First Cooking

2010-07-03T23:34:00.007+08:00

I cooked 2 dishes today, my first try on fried beehoon and stir-fry eggplant. Although the beehoon tastes quite bland, because I try to be health conscious. Anyway, the hotdogs are very salty. I followed the ways of cooking beehoon on NoobCook website, just that the ingredients are different. I took some pictures of the dishes.

My first try on cooking fried beehoon

This looks better, not too oily and wet.

'Stir-fry eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce'.

I never had eggplants when I was young but these few years, I was introduced to eat eggplants by my mum and I begin to love eggplants. I followed the recipe on a packet sauce (Sauce for Spicy Garlic Eggplant) by Lee Kum Kee. The sauce is not spicy at all and there is a strong aroma of garlic when you opened the packet. I added a few ingredients in it beside the minced meat as mentioned in the recipe. The result of the dish turns out great. I like the flavour and colours of the dish.

Delicious dish with a bowl of 香喷喷白饭.

A Rainy Day

2010-07-02T23:56:00.001+08:00

It is rainy day and my mood is the same as the weather. Actually it was raining these few days but today turns out to be almost raining the whole day. Perhaps I can't think thoroughly enough, so I'm so unhappy. However, after having a walk around the shopping mall in the late evening, I tends to feel better now. No wonder people says that shopping is the best way to relax when you are feeling down. Bought lots of foods, I feel like cooking right now!

Colourful or Harmful?

2010-07-01T22:23:00.006+08:00

I read an article from Healthy Eats on 'Artificial Food Coloring: Good or Bad?'. Artificial food colorings can be found in bright candy and breakfast cereals. It can also be used in soda, beverages, gelatin desserts, pet food and meat products like hot dogs (Unbelievable!). Artificial colorings are names like "Yellow 5" and "Blue 1". Immediately, I take a look at the empty M&M's wrapper that I had earlier on. I spotted the artificial food colorings on the M&M's wrapper (Blue 1 Lake, Yellow 6, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 6 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2).

What are the risks of taking in artificial food colorings? Research states that the Center of Science in Public Interest links food colorings to hyperactivity and behaviour problems in children. It sounds scary that most artificial food colorings are used in candies, the favourite food for children (also includes adults!). More 'highlights' on the risk of taking in artificial food colorings:

(Source fron Healthy Eats website)
Blue 2: linked to brain tumors
Green 3: linked to bladder cancer
Yellow 3: known to cause some mild allergic reactions - especially in people who are sensitive to aspirin
Yellow 6: associated with cancer of the adrenal glands and kidneys as well as possible allergic reactions
Red 3: possible link to thyroid tumors

Artificial colorings are found mostly in processed junk food, which contains high calories and low nutrients. I shall take note of artificial food colorings from now onwards when I shop at supermarkets. But I think a small consumption of artificial food colorings is fine, perhaps an excuse for a candy lover like me. I love M&Ms, so how?

Review on 'Happy Tree Friends'

2010-06-30T23:06:00.005+08:00

I just found out this cartoon called Happy Tree Friends on Youtube. It is a Flash cartoon series and every episodes is short. I went to google and discovered that this cartoon was already shown 4 years ago. It had also become a popular Internet show too but I'm just discovered the existence of this cartoon 4 years later. I'm bad in following trends, you can label me as 'country bumpkin'.

The graphics and story in Happy Tree Friends is very violent, bloody and gross in every episode. I watched a few episodes and luckily every episode last for 5 minutes or less. A horrifying black comedy indeed which makes it unsuitable for children and if you are having your meal, do not watch it. It will affect your appetite with those bloody scenes.

I get to know some characters of Happy Tree Friends after viewing a few episodes. There's Lumpy, Cuddles, Disco Bear, Giggles, Petunia, Flaky, Sniffles, Handy, Toothy, Russell, Flippy, The Mole, Pop & Cub...etc. The character that leaves me the deepest impression will be Lumpy.

As indicated in Happy Tree Friends website, it is a dim-witted blue moose. I find Lumpy is a 'blur sotong' which can makes one adore or hate him. The most scariest character will be Flippy.

When Flippy is around, the characters at the scene will be the unlucky ones. Cub is the best in Happy Tree Friends at the moment because I have not watched the entire episodes in Happy Tree Friends yet.

I guess I would still continue watching it when I'm free. Perhaps I'm not so addicted in this cartoon yet.

An Unhealthy Meal

2010-06-29T21:59:00.004+08:00

I just have an unhealthy meal today and I guess I wouldn't like to have it anymore, not very soon. And now, I am still feeling very FULL. I searched my home and just found only a can of luncheon meat. I didn't have luncheon meat for a very long time, so I opened the can of luncheon meat and cooked it. It is the first time I ate the whole can of luncheon meat, about 397g. I wouldn't like to taste luncheon meat again because it's oily and salty. I drank lots of water but I'm still thirsty now. It will be better if there are vegetables in it. I prefer veggies rather than luncheon meat.

My 'Food' Interest

2010-06-26T23:59:00.000+08:00

Recently, I don't know why I like to snap pictures on food. So I decided to take pictures of food. I have claypot rice for dinner today at a foodcourt, and the food taste alright for me, just that I don't like to scrap the rice at the bottom of the claypot.

My food of the day: Hup Lee's Claypot rice

Review on '谈情说案' - Part 2

2010-06-22T21:37:00.011+08:00

Continue with yesterday's entry on the drama serial, 'The Mysteries of Love' (谈情说案). Is it true that people from different backgrounds are not compatible to be together? It is quite sad to hear that this cycle still exists in the 21st century too.

In the drama, Kingsley is the son's of a rich family and is an associate professor. As for 犀利妹, she is a policewoman and comes from a poor family staying in Yau Ma Tei. The parents of Kingsley didn't like 犀利妹, because they felt that her status and family background doesn't match with Kingsley.

I find that if they really love each other, they should be together. Anyway, I think they will get together in the end from the trailer. I suppose Kingsley's parents find that 犀利妹 is a nice girl in the end, so they approved them to be together.The most important criteria to look for is the personality. Kingsley's parents tend to look on the surface, while neglecting the inner beauty.

I can see that 犀利妹 is serious in the relationship with Kingsley. Otherwise, she wouldn't cry again when she went to the place where Kingsley asked her to be his girlfriend. When someone puts in deep efforts in the relationship and got a break up, she will get emotional and starts to cry when she gets reminded of the happy moments with each other.

Screenshot from the '谈情说案': 犀利妹 gets emotional when she gets to the place where Kingsley wants her to be his girlfriend.

Screenshot from the '谈情说案': Kiss on 犀利妹 forehead when Kingsley sends her back home. (So sweet.)

Review on '谈情说案' - Part 1

2010-06-21T20:44:00.016+08:00

I managed to catch the recent episodes of the drama 'The Mysteries of Love' (谈情说案） just now. I'm quite sad for 犀利妹 by the scene where Kingsley is going to break up with 犀利妹, and the words by 犀利妹 is so heartrending. I like the words 犀利妹 said, so I decided to compile the dialogue between 犀利妹 and Kingsley on the break up scene.

Kingsley： “我真的不应该离开的，根本无法解决问题。“
犀利妹： ”你是不是有烦恼所以才跑掉的？“
犀利妹： ”你再苦恼什么？我能帮忙吗？“
犀利妹： ”就算我帮不上忙也没关系，我一定会支持你。”

Kingsley： “对不起。”
犀利妹： “为什么无缘无故地说对不起？”
Kingsley： “对不起，是我错。我算错了。那题目不应该这么算。”
犀利妹： “你算错了什么数学题，对不起和算错题目有什么关系？”
Kingsley： “我和你之间，我一直以为是 1 加 1 等于 2，原来不是。”
Kingsley： “原来是二进制。1 加 1 等于一零。”
犀利妹： “我不明白你说什么。”

Kingsley： “我在说我们。原来两个人在一起，并非只是两个人的事这么简单。还要顾及我们的家人。” ( I agree with this.)
犀利妹： “你说了这么久就是想对我说这些？”
Kingsley： “对不起，犀利妹。家人给了我很大的压力。我相信你要承受的压力也不少。” (Ermm, I find him irresponsible for saying this.)
犀利妹： “那又怎样？我不是在想办法解决吗？我已经申请了调职。”
Kingsley： “可知道你决定调职，我的心很不舒服，很难受。我为自己而生气，你可以这样为我牺牲，我却无法为你做任何事。” (Actually from here, I can sense that Kingsley still loves 犀利妹)
犀利妹： “我根本没有要求你为我做任何事。”
Kingsley： “你以为调职后就能解决我家的问题？我看你笑得很开心，连我都以为真的能够很简单地解决所有的问题...” (Quite harsh with this sentence?)
犀利妹： “是的......”
Kingsley： “事实并非如此。两个不同背景的人走在一起，彼此的家人不可能不管，还有许多无法想像的问题会出现，直至我妈妈出了事......” (Very true indeed.)
Kingsley： “我很清楚，我算错了。”

犀利妹： “什么？等等，那道题目我早就算好了。”
犀利妹： “是我先喜欢上你的，从我对你有感觉开始，我就知道我们是不同世界的人。” (From here, I began to feel like crying.)
犀利妹： “我根本么有奢望我们可以在一起。”
犀利妹： “是你教我的，是你告诉我什么叫苯氨基丙酸。”
犀利妹： “你说一男一女走在一起，这种激素就会增加，感情就会上升。这种关系和状态叫做”爱情“，对吗？” (Yes, Kingsley did said that if you've watched the earlier episodes.)
犀利妹：“你喜欢我，是因为你苯氨基酸的浓度增加。”
犀利妹：“你从未说过我们在一起，是因为一道数学题。何时开始变成一道数学题的？” (One of my favourite wordings from 犀利妹.)

Kingsley： “对不起......”
犀利妹： “我不想听对不起，你根本就不喜欢我，却把它赖在算错题的头上。”
Kingsley： “你该生气的，无论如何是我不对。除了对不起，我不知道还可以说什么。”

犀利妹：“我们再给彼此一个机会吧。你这么聪明一定能想到办法的，对吗？一定想得到的。”
Kingsley：“我从来是一个很理性的人，在人情世故方面，原来我的智商是零。”
Kingsley： “对不起，真的很对不起。”
犀利妹：“我不想听，我不想再见你，我不想听。你走，你马上走。”
犀利妹：“我不想听，我不想看到你，你走，给我走。”

After Kingsley had left, Gordon came after receiving 犀利妹's call.

犀利妹：“为什么？为什么我不再奢望时你却要给我。” (This is one of the best part that I like.)
犀利妹：“给了我，又要收回去。你是在耍我吗？”

Okay, perhaps will continue my thoughts on this drama the next time, this entry seems quite long.

Fathers' Day

2010-06-20T23:59:00.000+08:00

It's Fathers' Day today, actually I've something on this day but something popped up suddenly, so I'm free. Went to a nearby hawker centre with my family for lunch, go strolling at ECP and then dinner at '中环茶餐厅'. People everywhere at ECP, but I enjoy watching kite flying best.

Seems like the camera shots look nice when taken outdoors.

I hardly dine in restaurants, so it's my first time dining at '中环茶餐厅'.

I ordered a plate of baked pork chop rice and a glass of cold ginger coke.

Also ordered the peanut butter milk sandwiches and I love this.

The toast is very thick and it is not hard inside. As for the baked pork chop rice, I found that the pork chop is really hard. Perhaps not much time to defrost the meat? The rice is hard too, ermm, not enough water? Actually the cold ginger coke is quite nice, for those who enjoys ginger taste more than coke will like it.

Overall, my favourite will be peanut butter milk sandwiches and the cold ginger coke.

Staying awake

2010-06-18T23:20:00.007+08:00

I didn't have a good sleep over the past few days, because of an online game. Shh.... It has to be the top scorer in order to be a winner for that particular week. Perhaps I can have a few days rest now, and try harder the next time.

I guess I learnt not to give up easily and perseverance throughout the game. Another lesson taught. Okay, I'm heading off to bed. Goodnight peeps.

Review on 'Avatar'

2010-06-12T23:47:00.005+08:00

I just saw the movie 'Avatar' online. It was a 2009 science fiction movie but I just saw it today as I heard that the film is interesting. At first, I don't really understand what it is talking about and I found it quite boring. However, after the film is halfway through, the story is getting interesting a little and I think I have roughly got an idea what is it all about.

My thoughts for the movie? It also involves love relationship besides scientific materials in the movie. The ending part looks familiar as the movie in 'Brother Bear'. In 'Avatar', Jake Sully is willing to transform himself into a Na'vi avatar all because of his love for Neytiri (I guess). The effects and graphics in the movie are great, but I prefer the graphics like in 'Brother Bear'. For those who likes science fiction plot would like 'Avatar'. Okay, some graphics from 'Avatar' which I think it's nice.

Diary for the week

2010-06-05T23:03:00.000+08:00

I haven't been blogging for weeks, have been quite busy or should I say I do not know what to blog? Anyway, this few weeks I am searching for jobs and going for interviews, but sad to say, there is no good news. So I have to tell myself not to despair and actually I have to say I did gain some experiences from every interview I went.

Okay, this week, besides searching for jobs and going for interviews, I went for the Singapore Food Expo that was held at Singapore Expo. There is also John Little Expo Sale and The POPULAR Fair going on. Perhaps it is now school holidays. The place was so crowded, especially for the Singapore Food Expo. Mostly aunties and housewives went for the Singapore Food Expo, carrying bags of foodstuffs. We bought a few foodstuffs, and frankly speaking we bought the foods because of the reusable bags, it looks nice. I didn't try the cooked food at the fair as it is nothing special, stuffs like takoyaki, fried food, puffs...etc. Only for the smelly tofu, but I didn't get to try it because I find the smell is not extremely stinky.

I spent most of the time at The POPULAR Fair, because there were many books and products. I guess I spent many hours and bought lots of stuffs from there too. In the end, get to buy the some items at $0.10 each.

Review on One Piece 451

2010-05-17T20:52:00.017+08:00

Just watched One Piece episode 451 and FINALLY Luffy and the rest like Buggy the Clown, Mr.1 (Daz Bonez), Sir Crocodile, Mr.3, Jimbei, have break through the Gate of Justice with the help of Mr.2 (Bon Clay). They are free from the Impel Down Personnels. Yeah, Enough of Impel Down, now Luffy and the rest, are going to save Ace! But I guess there will still be more episodes to go.

Kudos to Mr.2 (Bon Clay), he sacrifices himself in order to save the 241 prisoners and Luffy, so that he can transform himself to Magellan (Mazeran) and ordered them to open the Gate of Justice. He is good friend indeed, I wonder if there is such person exists in reality. Perhaps there is, but not around me at the moment. Bon Clay is a trustworthy friend to befriend with.

Okay, some images which I think it warms the heart to share with the rest.

Free from Impel Down

Jimbei looking at Impel Down

Opening of the Gate of Justice

Mr.2 (Bon Clay) with Magellan at Impel Down during the opening of the Gate of Justice

Luffy and Bon Clay snail phone conversation

Luffy is crying when he knows Bon Clay sacrifices himself to help them escape

Hope that Bon Clay is still alive and appear in later episodes because he is a good guy.

The Experience of Missing Someone

2010-05-16T23:01:00.000+08:00

I didn't get to blog for a few weeks. Because I'm not feeling well during the end of April, having a bad cough. Anyway, it was the past.

Well, The weather is rainy today since afternoon, just like my feelings for the last few days. However, my mood is getting better now although I still miss my brother alot. Haha, I understand the feelings of missing someone now. I am undergoing the experience of missing someone right now. You will want to know how is he doing everyday. I start to feel lonely these few days.

Guess I have to keep myself occupied so that days will pass faster.

My Personal comment on Star Awards 2010

2010-04-25T23:33:00.029+08:00

The annual Star Awards is back and it is held at the Compass Ballroom of Resorts World Convention at Sentosa. I didn't know that the scenary and lightings at Resort World Sentosa looks spectacular from my screen. Every year, besides focusing on the winners' speech, another concern will be on the artistes' outfits. This year, I find that the male artistes' outfits are almost the same as previous, while most female artistes' outfits are quite revealing.

My deepest impression on the guests and artistes for Star Awards 2010:

Guest List
Quiet and Pretty lady - 杨谨华 Cheryl Yang
Cute and Lucky guy who keeps receiving hugs - 赵又廷 Mark Chao
Witty and Entertaining - 曾国城
Humorous and Fortunate celeb who gets to hug Mark Chao - 利菁

Artiste List
Most Stunning Look - 白薇秀 Joanne Peh's in her black sexy dress.
Most Elegantly Dressed - 刘芷绚 Jesseca Liu (The design of her dress looks simple yet not so revealing.)

Most Considerate Artiste - 戚玉武 Qi Yuwu (In his 'thank you speech', he has promised to cook for his fans if he won the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artiste Award.)
Intellectual and Incomprehensible 'thank you' speech - 郑斌辉 Tay Ping Hui (You wouldn't know which sentence is true or false?)

A Day to Remember or to be Forgotten?

2010-04-24T23:23:00.003+08:00

I am in a pretty low mood these few days and I just found that my sore throat is getting worse since yesterday. Plus I am getting a slight headache today. Perhaps I didn't get to sleep well the night before.

Today is the day of this special 'stranger' who wants to befriend me a few years back. And it happens to be the opening of the Youth Olympic Park and the pedestrain bridge, The Helix, at Marina Bay. The opening ceremony is going to be spectacular, but too bad I have my own stuffs to work with and at the same time, not feeling well. I guess I just enjoy the photographs on the internet then. Should I remember this day? I am sure I won't forget this day although this special 'stranger' gave me a bad 'headache' in the past.

Brother Bear 2

2010-04-18T23:19:00.009+08:00

I just watched 'Brother Bear 2' on DVD. This movie was released four years ago. I remember I had watched the first series of Brother Bear. However, I had forgotten the story of the first series until I got to watch the second series. Memories seems to bring me back. I can still remember the characters like, Kenai and Koda, the cute chatty young bear.

In the second series, the story revolves between Kenai and his childhood friend, Nita. She was given an amulet from Kenai and needs to burn it at Hokani Falls before she can marry Atka. Kenai, Nita and Koda got to understand each other more when they were on their way to Hokani Falls. They saw aurora when they reached Hokani falls and the lights are amazing. I guess the aurora is going to be very beautiful in reality.

Overall, I think that Koda is an innocent yet magnanimous bear that makes the whole story touching in season 2. The most touching and courageous part is when Koda asks his mother in spirit land to turn Kenai back to human and went to the village to get Nita. Koda cannot go to the village as the villagers will try to kill him. Koda wants to sacrifice his happiness in exchange for Kenai and Nita's happiness. It is a noble act. In the end, Kenai doesn't want to turn back into a human but Nita wants to be a bear instead. That's the power of love. And the three bears lived happily ever after.

Will there be Brother Bear season 3?

A Day for Singles!

2010-04-14T23:18:00.005+08:00

I read an interesting article that besides Valentine's Day (Feb 14) and White Day (Mar 14), there is a Black Day on 14th of April. Actually on every month the 14th, there is a day given and it is commonly celebrated in Japan and Korea. Black Day is a day where singles who didn't give or receive gifts on Valentine's Day and White Day get together to celebrate. It is a day for the singles. Yeah, there should be a day for the singles!

Singles get together and eat jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce). For those who didn't celebrate White Day, they have to add an extra white sauce that is mixed with the jajangmyeon.

Review of Day 14 from January to December:

January - Candle Day
February - Valentine's Day
March - White Day
April - Black Day
May - Rose Day
June - Kiss Day
July - Silver Day
August - Green Day
September - Music Day
October - Wine Day
November - Movie Day
December - Wine Day

慈善的定义？

2010-04-05T23:59:00.010+08:00

总觉得今天所遇见的事有种似曾相识的感觉。遇到一位德士司机，一直述说着自己对‘慈善’的看法。我记得我曾对某人谈起过此事，而他的反应看似有点道理，从另一个角度来看又有少了些爱心。当你每天经过某个地方，看到同样的人向在乞讨谋生，你会伸出援手吗？或者有慈善节目时，你会拨打慈善热线捐款吗？

某人曾告诉我，其实不应该拨打慈善热线。那时候我不明白为什么。他给的原因是慈善机构有庞大的储备金。后来经过一些新闻事件和报道，看似有此事。我想如果经济许可，能帮就帮。至于他们怎么处理捐款，那是他们的事。只要自己有一份想帮助人的心就足够了。至于在街上需要帮忙的人，看情况而定吧。正所谓‘人心难测’。

More Matters Unexpected...

2010-04-04T23:41:00.003+08:00

It was really an unlucky week again for the past 2 weeks. Lots of unexpected things happened and need to be settled. I remember the last entry for the blog was titled 'An Unlucky Day?'. I didn't expect that that particular week and the following were a continuous unlucky week. Just to name a few...

Should I say I had a boring yet busy lifestyle during the past 2 weeks? I couldn't get in touch with the 'outside world' and I guess I missed out lots of interesting stuffs. I need to start everything all over again, the connection, the computer settings....etc. You would never understand.

There are still more matters to settle beside these. Sometimes I am getting quite frustrated, doing so many things at once. But no choice. I hope I shall get over it as soon as possible.

An Unlucky Day?

2010-03-21T22:05:00.002+08:00

Should I say today is an unlucky day for me? Because it started raining suddenly when I just stepped out of my home halfway on the streets. Even though I brought along my umbrella, my clothes are still wet due to the sudden heavy rain. It keeps raining these few days since last week.

Secondly, a guy accidentally kicked onto my chair when I was having my meal. Surprisingly, the chair that I'm sitting onto it did move a little due to the kick. It seems like the guy has a powerful leg. Waaaa...

The black pepper chicken and the veggies that I had are quite salty. Sad to say, the soup inside '小笼包' is salty too but juicy. I don't understand why nowadays outside food are getting salty.

Anyway, I had a full meal.

Food Adventure

2010-03-20T23:53:00.003+08:00

It is almost raining the whole day but there are still lots of people on the streets.

I was at the Food and Beverage Fair today, as I said, there are lots of consumers despite the rainy weather. I didn't know there is such a fair, and if I knew that, I might go there with an empty stomach.

There were also many food stalls at the event. However, I spotted an interesting stall name, 'Pie Kia' (meaning 'bad child' in hokkien), that sells pies.

I also spotted one of my favourite food, TAKOYAKIS...but I was too full to taste it.

Because...I had eaten a egg tart before that. The egg tart is too sweet, but the crust is abit hard, not crispy.

Orijunielle is 3 months old...

2010-03-20T02:19:00.001+08:00

Today is Orijunielle's (website and blog) 3rd month anniversary and I am blogging at 2AM now. Hope there are more 3 months, 3 years, 3 decades........and so on for Orijunielle to survive in cyberspace.

Thanks for reading my articles. I just want to share my thoughts in an unusual way, like writing on 'space'.

My 'White Day'

2010-03-14T23:59:00.006+08:00

It has been a long time I didn't get to update my blog. I went to the IT Show 2010 and it was so crowded. IT Show is always flooded with people every year, and flyers everywhere. I could see people squeezing and pushing among the crowds, especially at the SingTel / M1 fair at level 2 ballroom.

So I headed to the upper floors. Actually, I was thinking of going to there just for window shopping and get to see what's the latest technology they have but in the end just got myself a microSD.

Besides the last day of IT show, it happens to 'White Day', a day celebrated in Japan. It's considered an 'answer day' to Valentine's Day whereby the guys will return the favour by gifting to the ladies who gave them gifts or chocolates on Valentine's Day (Feb 14). I guess 'White Day' is the day of acceptance of love? A very interesting day, the continuation of Valentine's Day.

Trip to River HongBao 2010

2010-02-20T23:59:00.000+08:00

I went to River HongBao 2010 again in the evening. This year, the event is held at the Float. Actually, I went there on Chinese New Year but I didn't get to see the exhibits clearly because of the crowds. It also happens to be Huayi Festival in February where there are mini concerts/showcase outside and within the Esplanade. I stopped by and enjoy the music played by local and foreign bands.

Before reaching the main gate of River HongBao 2010, the outdoor amusement park caught my attention.

I remember when I was young, a similar amusement park was held around the place where I'm staying, but no free entry. The rides were crazy! I did play those crazy rides before when I was young but not now.

There is a booth at River HongBao 2010 where there are chinese delicacies from Tanyoto. The queues are long so I only tried the '饺子', 3 for $2.50.

The taste is not bad and the meat is juicy.

Below are some photos taken at River HongBao 2010:

This dragon is made of melted sugar, a beautiful and creative artpiece. It looks so real. I wonder whether the artwork will attract ants?

Pandas discovered at hot tropical climate, Singapore?

I saw Fireworks! The Chinggay fireworks performance, I suppose, and it can be seen at the Float.

One of the Chinggay floats that I took outside the main gate of River HongBao 2010. What a colourful globe!

A Short Vietnam Trip in Singapore?

2010-02-15T22:59:00.000+08:00

Today is the second day of Chinese New Year and almost all the shops and eateries like foodcourts are still having their 'holidays'. Enough of fast foods, my family and I choose to have our lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant, once in a while. It's my first time having Vietnamese food and I didn't know what to order. Luckily, there is set lunch. Therefore, I ordered a plate of chicken briyani with a side dish and drink.

The chicken briyani taste abit salty but the chicken is quite tender. I found that Vietnamese and Thai cuisines are quite similar, just that Thai cuisines are spicy. I gobbled up my plate of chicken briyani. Overall, I enjoyed the Vietnamese food, especially dining with my family.

My Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day

2010-02-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

I woke up early on Chinese New Year's Day, or should I say I didn't sleep much the night before? Well, I hardly had any sleep the night before, perhaps a short nap. However, we went out quite late to visit the relatives, even though I 'woke' up early. It happens to be Valentine's Day too, and at least I managed to see couples around at night, but the Chinese New Year's atmosphere is stronger.

A Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day to Orijunielle's surfers!

How do I spend my Chinese New Year Eve?

2010-02-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

It is Chinese New Year's Eve today however I am still making my last-minute clothes buying spree. I went around the town from City Hall to Chinatown and finally got my new year clothings. The total expenditure for my new year clothings = SGD$15!! I'm always on tight budget, anyway as long as it's wearable. Chinatown is always flooded with crowds every year. After my shopping spree, I took a bus back home to help out in the reunion dinner. It's a very simple reunion dinner but the most enjoyable thing is to gather around with my family.

I have too much fishballs and crabsticks!! It's a busy day for me during Chinese New Year period.

Review on One Piece 436

2010-02-07T23:59:00.001+08:00

Just watched One Piece episode 436 ("The Showdown Has Come! Luffy's Desperate Last Attack!"), and Luffy was poisoned by Magellan (Mazeran), who ate the Venom-Venom Fruit. I couldn't believe Luffy was defeated down by Magellan. I wonder how many episodes it will take for Luffy to recover, because the rescue at Impel Down is getting long.

Luffy was poisoned with Magellan's venom

Luffy's ferocious look

Luffy versus Magellan

Spring Cleaning

2010-01-31T23:59:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is coming in about two weeks time. I'm busy doing spring cleaning the house, and there are some many things that I don't bear to clear. At the end, it seems like the same, many stuffs stucked in the room.

Take it easy, I think I won't have time to blog recently. However, I'll try to blog weekly?

Happy Family

2010-01-24T23:59:00.000+08:00

I saw an ex-actor with his family today at the hypermarket. Actually it was the second time I got to see him and his family as usual. I saw him purchasing groceries and on his way for payment. After payment, his children (quite young, in primary, I guess) helped out carrying the groceries.

I envy his wife and children for having such a doting hubby and father respectively. Not many fathers will do that, like accompany their family to the hypermarket. I guess he's one of the SNAG.

Cute discovery!

2010-01-23T23:59:00.000+08:00

I was supposed to have something on today but last minute cancelled. So I went window shopping and get to see these handicrafts when I passed by a window display. It is made up of wool if I'm not wrong.

It's sooo cute..

The fun of blogging

2010-01-22T23:59:00.000+08:00

I am feeling better today even though the pain is still there. Anyway, let's change the topic.

It was already more than a month since I started blogging Orijunielle. Actually, blogging is great as it helps to refresh my thoughts when I reviewed my past entries. Sometimes, I ran out of ideas of not knowing what to blog for that particular day, perhaps I should blog weekly?

Congrats to Orijunielle in launching on the web for one month. Hope there are more days, months and years to come.

Any painkillers?

2010-01-21T23:59:00.000+08:00

The pain is still torturing me again when I woke up today. It makes my whole day bad because of the pain. I tried to keep myself occupied so that I might not be able to feel the pain. And it works.

My remedy to pain, keep myself occupied, I would say.

Please go away, the word 'Pain'

2010-01-20T23:59:00.000+08:00

I'm having a terrible stomachache today, not sure if it has anything to do with the durians that I had yesterday, but I don't think that is the reason. I felt so sick that I don't have any appetite at all. I just took self medication to relieve the pain, hoping the pain will goes off by tomorrow.

It's terrible to fall sick. Arrgh, I don't know why I was feeling so sick this month.

简单的快乐

2010-01-19T15:59:00.000+08:00

今天下午下一阵细雨，又碰上一位很爱说话的德士司机，加上有点疲倦，但是那场细雨过后，我的精神恢复了。原来天气也会影响一个人的心情和态度的。终于在夜市能吃到我喜欢的cheese sausage，有一阵子没有吃到夜市的食物了。夜市卖很多油炸的食物，我也吃了不少。

其实，能吃到自己喜欢的食物也能让心情愉快。

水果的味道

2010-01-18T23:59:00.000+08:00

好久没有吃榴莲了，经过看到一摊在卖而且价格公道，所以买了一些来品尝。味道感觉非常甜，口感还不错。每当我看到榴莲，就会不知觉想起小时候被榴莲不小心刺伤的经历。为什么被榴莲刺伤还会喜欢吃榴莲呢? 答案：“我也不知道”。

所谓，喜欢有时候是没有理由的，不是吗？

人类的现实

2010-01-17T23:59:00.000+08:00

今天对某件事情又有所感触，因为‘某人’的一句话。是否有利用价值才算是有用的人，包括最亲的人呢？是否曾经有伸出援手的人也被列为‘没用的人’？我想这种人从来没有把人的‘好’放在心上吧。有点矛盾到让人伤透脑筋。算是忘恩负义吗？

看不透的心

2010-01-16T23:59:00.000+08:00

为什么心理越在乎的朋友越容易被她遗忘? 是不是所有的人都喜新厌旧，只看的到眼前朋友呢？是否现在出现在身边盘旋的朋友才被重视？总觉得曾对朋友付出真心，尤其是很要好的朋友，结果以‘心寒’做收场。一旦失去联络后，即时在街上碰面，也把曾经是好朋友的人当做是一个普通的路人。

是应该庆幸自己能看清楚‘这些朋友’还是为这些朋友难过？

残忍的场面

2010-01-15T23:59:00.000+08:00

昨天刚写一篇有关饥饿的感想，今天回家途中看到一只猫咬着一条细小的长蛇。不知到是那只猫肚子饿或是和那条蛇在玩耍。要去阻止时已经太晚了。

为什么强者总爱欺负弱小呢？强者应该帮助弱者，让到处都散发出温情。

挑战饥饿

2010-01-14T23:59:00.000+08:00

一整天没吃饭了，现在才能真真了解到饥饿的痛苦。我让自己忙来忘记饥饿。如果有几片面包皮，我想对一个饥饿的人来说应该算是世上最美味的食物吧！我觉到人类如果有的选择，就会挑食。但如果肚子饿，即时是一道好不起眼的食物也会吃得津津有味吧。我就是这么认为的。

想一下贫困国家人民的生活吧。

应该期待吗？

2010-01-13T23:59:00.000+08:00

还有一个月的时间就到农历新年了。时间过得真快，转眼间又过了一年。不知道应该期待还是盼望时间能停留在这一刻？小时候，可能会期待新年的到来。当到了某个年龄，就觉得没向童年时那么期待了。总觉的新年是一个大家聚集在一起，互相‘比较’成绩的一天。感觉到了这个节日需要承受被大家‘询问’的压力。

无论如何都要去面对的，反正每年都是这样过的咯。

最认真的感受

2010-01-12T23:59:00.000+08:00

我常问自己，认真是一种美德还是对自己的一种伤害？我相信大多数都会说是一种美德吧。我一直深信认真是一种美德，但每次我回想过去认真地去面对人和事，总有点感伤。为什么人无法用心去体会一颗认真的心呢？是不是认真的人很单纯而且容易被欺负的一群？可能也是容易被遗忘的吧？

其实，我想适当的认真是好的。太过投入可能对自己造成伤害。以前的我就是太过投入，结果把自己的心境伤得很深。我应该不要放弃认真，正所谓‘认真的女人最美丽’。

Most Imporatant Asst in Life

2010-01-11T23:59:00.000+08:00

My flu is getting better today. It is great to get back to normal, that is free from sickness. I strongly agree that being healthy is the best asset in life. I admit I still don't know how to take care of myself yet, that's why I caught a flu easily. I guess right now I have to build up my stamina. And I shall try to learn to take care of myself from now on, let's make it as one of my resolutions for this year.

Cold or Flu?

2010-01-10T23:59:00.000+08:00

I was having a bad flu. Maybe I caught a cold and I was sneezing and having runny nose for the whole day. I heard tales that when someone is sneezing, probably someone is talking about the person or someone is thinking of that person? I'm not sure if it's true. But one thing I am sure, is that the flu bacterias adores me so much that made me feel terrible. When will the flu bacterias go away?

A Nice Taxi Driver

2010-01-09T23:59:00.000+08:00

I met a nice with good manners cabbie driver and I gained some road tips from him throughout the journey. Normally, taxi drivers will drive their own way to reach the destination unless you tell them which way to go. But this nice driver is different. He asked for your preference way to reach the destination when I got into the taxi. He even asked for permission if there's a need for him to enter the ERP district or stay out since it's just a short walk to reach my destination if I stay out of the ERP district.

I told him to get into the ERP district as there might be passengers waiting for a taxi. In the end, he might be able to pick up passengers. I am feeling great after the journey although my mood was supposed to be down.

What a frustrating day!

2010-01-08T23:59:00.000+08:00

I had a frustrating day when I woke up. I was having a runny nose but it was getting better at the end of the day, including my mood too. I always wonder why people gets frustrated? Is it hormones that easily changes the person's mood or the mind? Or am I too serious over the matter? Sometimes, it might be a small matter but it causes me to get frustrated easily. Luckily, I get over it after some time.

My way of clearing frustration? Perhaps keep myself occupied.

I won't forget you, my friend

A long lost friend accepted me in FB today. I think nowadays not many will still remember their classmates and friends, especially from primary or kindergarten. I'm so glad that she still remembers me and of course, I remember her too. Her features doesn't change much.

I am happy for her that she has her own family. I would say she's a thoughtful lady.

Am I Worrying too much

I was worried about some matters today. Luckily the matters were finally settled later. It makes me nervous the whole day that I can't get to sleep at night. I guess I'm worrying too much and scaring myself. I just can't help it. Is it because it's a habit that I began to accumulate from young? I guess so.

I find that it's a bad habit. Perhaps I should learn to relax and try not to think so much. It reminds me of this song ‘不想想太多’, sung by Tarcy Su. By the way, the lyrics doesn't fit into my situation right now.

Well, this song is well written, I like the music, especially the 'bridge' part, the feel is there, for me at least even if I listened to it many, many times.

Coincidence Encounter

I saw my secondary school form teacher today, Madam Lee. But I didn't go up to her because I was 'paiseh' (shy). I guess I didn't see her for almost a decade? She was still like before, so modern looking, who is always in skirts and stylish. She was my form teacher for just a year. Besides being my form teacher, she was also my arts & crafts, music and chinese teacher (if I didn't remember wrongly?). She always gave the students encouragement and support, and also a dedicated teacher. She's one of my favourite teacher during my school days.

I'm unsure if she's still teaching. Anyway, Kudos to my wonderful teacher, Madam Lee!

Remember your First Day of School

It was raining heavily this morning, and it happened to be the first day of school, especially for students who are in kindergarden, primary and secondary one. Because they have to adapt in a new learning environment, friends and teachers.

I remember I cried during the first few days in nursery. I guess most kids cried when they entered kindergarden on the first day of school. The reason was because their parents couldn't stay by their side. It was the first step to independent study. When I reached primary one, I was frightened on the first day. Perhaps it's the new environment that made me feel frightened. However, when I entered secondary one, I was nervous for the first day, because I need to start from the scratch by making new friends.

These days had already left me for long but it will stored in my memory for life. Do treasure and enjoy the days in school, especially in kindergarden and primary, because this is the most 'innocent' period in life.
