有陰影的地方,必定有光。
如同最漫長苦澀的想念,必定是因為最無限美麗的回憶。
也許沒有一個人,可以陪你到世界的盡頭。
但回憶,可以永遠擁有,
一如星空,
無論何時,你只需抬頭。
Steady people desire to keep their environment from changing. They have a consistent work performance. They accommodate others. They get along well with others because they are flexible in their attitude. They may not say anything if they disagree just to keep peace, however they seem to find a way to get what they want. They are moderate and controlled. They are modest. They like to help others, make good counselors and are great listeners. They can speak on an intellectual level and prefer quiet discussions with one or two people. They build close relationships with a small group of friends. They like to maintain familiar and predictable patterns. They are consistent in accomplishing work. If they receive appreciation, they maintain a high level of performance. They may need help when starting a new project. They like to feel comfortable with anything new before actually starting it. They enjoy something in writing so they can refer to it. They ask, they don't tell. They want answers to their "HOW" and "WHEN" questions.
Sleep is like a virtual journey; before you drift into it, you are on your bed in your home… The moment you close your eyes, you are teleported to where your mind brings you… It like you have been beamed out of your body into somewhere your unconscious mind committee decides to place you…
You can bring nothing in or anything out… with bare hands you enter, and with bare hands you leave… you only have what your mind has been impressed with… and most of these times, you find that they are lost as the journey ends… with no re-collection of how or any remembrance at all…
I usually lost my anger in my sleep… though i never enter sleep while in anger, but i may enter with regret, guilt, disappointments or even high spirited optimism… it usually gets misplaced when i awake… The most recent encounter of mine was a fearless spirit that was going to shake grounds and conquer the world… but i had awoken to laughed at myself… for being silly and impractical… doesn't it sound sad?
I understand that there are good and bad here… its just the unsure me speaking rite now…
When it seems that you've prayed 'til your strength is all gone,
and your tears fall like raindrops all day long
Jesus cares and He knows just how much you can bear
He'll speak your name to someone in prayer
Have the clouds 'round you gathered in the midst of a storm
Is your ship tossed and battered Are you weary and worn
Don't lose hope someone's praying for you this very day
And peace be still is already on the way
Someone is praying for you
someone is praying for you
And when it seems you're all alone, and your heart would break in two
remember someone is praying for you.
“The question isnt whether its true,
the question is if its working for you …”
This is the first two lines of a song by All Star United, and even though i love their songs, it didn't leave any mind blowing impressions those days where i listen to the CD over and over again…
But this time round, it did…
The songs i dug out, used to be my fav cos they sound alit retro billy bomber style type of music…
The moment i played the song again, these lyrics came to me like a tidal wave hitting the shores… so refreshing and so unforgettable!
Someone once said that i have been too obsessed with trying to do things the right way, the correct way…
But now it suddenly dawned one me, if its working for me…
Facts will be facts and the only reason why i want it right becos i want it to work for me…
Well if it doesn't, then what purpose does it serve me now?
So i ask thee again:
“THE QUESTION ISNT WHETHER ITS TRUE,
THE QUESTION IS IF ITS WORKING FOR YOU???”
作为人类的一分子,对于自己也很迷惑。。。
一时 我们可以英勇奋战,赴汤蹈火 两肋插刀 在所不辞!
但下一秒,可以被琐碎的小事而尖叫不已。。。
试着相像这个画面。。。
有一位英勇豪杰,不只战胜了东海龙王 还将它驯服了
村里的人也因此设宴十天十夜,就为凯旋归来的大英雄。
但是,当他一踏进村里。。。
便看到一只飞行式的蟑螂正奔向他,
而他当场被吓得三魂不见七魄,
惊吓得整整好几天才能把心跳抚平下来!
这故事是夸张了一点。。。
对,我不是一位屠龙英雄
但我此时脑海里的画面,就是如此!
不然,我只有一个结论!
那就是。。。
我根本就不勇敢!
其实自己的内心根本一点勇气也没有,
这一切的一切都只是一场烟雾弹,
一场骗了别人 也骗了自己的烟雾弹!
仔细想想,
过去所谓的勇气啊 勇敢啊
好像都不是我的。。。
常常挂在我身上的胆
大部分是跟上帝借的,
其余就应该属于冲动和无知了吧!
至少,我是这样想的吧。。。
大多的人看到我,以为我就是那么勇敢无敌
就因为这样,大家对我的期许也就是这样。。。
渐渐的 我对自己的期许也变得跟大家一样了
大家,对不起了。。。
我并无以欺骗你们,
因为我也被骗了,
这场误会可说是误会大了!
到底是我骗了你们,
还是你们骗了我,
还是我骗了我自己
我看 也不重要了
我们就重新开始吧
你说好吗?

I used to really hate the advert on the cable, the one that kept singing “Love life…Love yr life…” its really something that annoyed me to the core with a literal intense hatred…
And today, i sat here thinking… and thinking… and thinking… i decided that i want it back… i want to be happy, and i want to do the things i like and not be restricted by time or by what i can or cannot, what i should or should not… Stacy is right, with proper planning, anything is possible… almost anything but not everything… BUT STILL.. its ALMOST…
I want to do my reading again, i want to read both english and chinese, i want to read novels and non-fictions, no more silly thinking that with the little time i have i should spend it on something “better”.
I want to try to spill my guts again, i want to find my humor again, i want to find my perspectives again, i want to not be afraid to know what i want without fearing that i will not have a shot at it…
I want to take up ukulele without the guilt of already spend the x amount of $ on guitar lessons, i want to go to cafes and sit there and stare into space with my mind spinning stories or ideas…
I WANT TO BE ALIVE AGAIN!!!
*Not sure if its the caffeine giving me this rush of adrenaline, but i like to say … I LOVE MY VANILLA LATTE WITH CINAMMON!!! :P
And i also want to say…
…
…
…
I love you.
有人说过 “有变化 才有成长,有进步”
这让我一度觉得我不可以一天到晚都一样!
但后来觉得好像也不是这样吧。。。
其实我也发现,一成不变的生活已没有那么可怕。。。
在某种程度上,它也有自己的安全感
这两年来,应该是我人生中最短的时间里变化地最多的一次吧
因为辞去了长达八年半快要九年的工作,开始了我不一样的人生;
也可以算是有一点点预料到的选哲。。。
朋友也说我变了很多,有变好的也有变不太好的
人事物和环境会不停地改变,让我有种喘不过气来的压迫感,让我身心都精疲力尽。。。
我真得有点跟不上,有点想放弃了
现在,只能一步一步来。。。虽然我不喜欢计划,计划也不太喜欢我;
但我的每一天好像是在跟着一个蓝图走着。。。
最美妙的是,上帝又在疼爱 照顾我这没用的东西。。。
真的除了耶稣的恩典,我再也想不到任何理由或解释了!
感谢上帝!
It was great having some company tonight, it was even better that these were some of my fav ppl to hang out and chill out with, even though we may not have much words to say to each other… The company is just comfortable, they are the ones i feel really relaxed without having to keep talking…
Things dod not turn out the way i like to, but i have no complains… cos i was at ease… Just hope that they din feel too bored or the food not to their taste… din tell them why i cooked those dishes, but i know can liaoz…
The seafood miso soup, which i think is quite healthy, was becos of the halved shell scallops i have which i really wanted to make for them. Miso is supposing to be good for the body, so i thought it would be kinda healthy for them to consume. Then the mixed veggie dish is stir fried Portobello mushrooms with peas and carrots and plenty of onion… the twist here is to do a creamed tasting sauce, some sort of fusion style… Portobello mushroom is considered a protein, and is good for both of them cos one is going gym now and the other really need to gain some nutrients! Needless to say, the peas are actually for the colour and any veg is good fiber for body rite?! The the carrots are well know to be good for vitamin A…. which is good for eyes. The tomato omelette has the virtues of tomato and eggs… tomatoes are good for you and the eggs are also protein based with good aroma and flavour! Last but not least, under the request for plenty of meat, i whipped up a chicken bulgogi which is really spicy with a sting due to the korean pepper paste… forgot to put sugar again… sigh!
I really sucked at cooking chinese food… :P
Not to forget, there was also a simple dessert! Ice cream in stick form! Though i cannot eat, but i am glad they can! : )
Ahh… dunno if its becos of TFZ lasts album, i really feel i wanna say this out loud: I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! : ) *hugz*
真得很妙。。。应为一个人的一句话,我认识了三位又可爱又无理头的小妹妹们,之后更认识了一群又一群的“同道中人”,再来又认识了这些同道中人的朋友们。。。 And the cycle goes on。。。 isnt it amazing?!!
So, these trio is my fren making avenues, they are also my getaway portal… whenever i need to be distracted or refusing to be in reality, they are the ones i throw myself into… going thru their videoz, youtubes, music etc… Its really efficient!
However, looking at them make me feel emotional at times… cos i see myself wasting time when they are working so hard to treasure time and cherishing the present… what the freaking am i doing???
There is so much thoughts in my head, but i refused to blog it down… not jus becos i am not sure if i want ppl to know, but also becos once i put in words i have to acknowledge the situation and whatever that is knotted in my mind and heart.
I find myself very contradicting, all the thoughts leading from one end to another… i am just a very confused person who just live one day to another and not having anything goal or plans for this life… Planning is just like making resolutions, the common entity is the end result… it never happens.
These few days been great, at least i am starting to feel relaxed… to the extend that i really attempted to not go to work… Every morning i have a long conversation with myself, debating to go or not to go to work… which ended up as me late for work :X Living like this is horrible, 对不起父母 & 家人 & 朋友 更对不起 自己!
All these answers in my head and not manifesting in actions, what am i waiting for??? Waiting for my miracle?
有个朋友常常说我,说我事事太在意对或错。。。 在每一个解定,在不一样的观点时对于错也就变得不一定了;
对的可以是错的,错的也可能是对的。。。就是在于角度的问题罢了。。。 而我又为何那么的在意,那么的执著?
但是,真的有那么的简单吗?
如果我因为要忠于自己,而不顾我周围的感受,那不是很自私吗?
- 茅盾的我,快要喘不过气得我,想放弃的我
Did something very silly and reputation tarnishing today, refusing to go work, called in sick and re-schedule a presentation cum demo which seems like gum that its stuck on me… Its a low fruit picking, tremendously simple deal to close… so says my boss…
Inside of the office, instead of the client’s premise, i run away… i ran away to the airport…
On the way to airport, at the flying speed of over 100km/h, an impulse of leaving was overwhelming me… looking at the plane climbing its altitude, looking at it leaving, a super duper bright light bulb lit up! It suddenly dawn on me that buying and air ticket and getting on a plane to run away is a very easy thing to do!
But silly me… i still cant…
Despite the busy schedule and the exasperations, i still find this entry a must… milestone must!
Hectic work schedule did not help when you realized that there is no one else at home other than yourself and yr beloved mum… switching and trying to make time to get all the work done in unfair circumstances vs a mum who is constant complaining abt her ailing body only prompted me to get all on site work done and bring the rest hm to do after cooking dinner and washing up. Frankly, i am dying…
Then the GE has to come stick one leg coming in, frankly with all the media overload, the information flooding in, all the rally with tweets and update etc… i can barely breathe… to the point i really wanna just shout at everyone to shut down and give me some quiet time to do the things i have to… and the most impt of all is the 5 yearly decision!
Its not a uncommon thing to hear young ppl still undecided on their choices even at the 11th hr… overheard from ppl drinking, overhead in the lift, overheard all the conversations ppl are having around… they are barely breathing from all the information coming down on them, despite them following the GE2011 closely in every possible means they can.
Personally, i really had to come down to what the main issues i am concern with, what do i want for myself and this land i call home. What are working and what are not? Who is really working for us, and who are for themselves? Who are the real opportunists and who are the truly respectable? I finally came down to 1 critical question, and with it i am able to arrive at my choice.
Frankly, there is no true winning or losing at the GE results, its only the beginning! True victory comes when our country does better, our lives changed for the better!
终于上网申请工作了,
猎人公司也很快地联络上我,
但是他们是为新加坡科技的其中一家分公司服务;
果然,我还是逃不出STEE的手掌心!
原本只计划去一趟曼谷三天两夜的假期,
如果真的被那公司录取的话,
我想我也是时候实行对朋友的成诺。。。 去一趟悉尼。。。

Today, 25th Feb 2011, i am on leave… i applied for leave and obtained this day of relaxed and guilt free breather day. Generally, i have only this day to get my car insurance paper work done so that the dates to my road tax dues are aligned. 5 days after, and i will be road tax problem free!
A stress-free day would also mean, i do not stress my car and definitely not stressing over the road traffic! So, technical today is also my NO-CAR Day! My dear Alfie is home resting in his best spot, and i am here leisurely waiting for my dear friend to get off work. Nothing too strenuous, just dinner and heading home together after that… maybe a spot of wine if we feel up to it.
Hmm… i do seem to be starting to appreciate time apart from work, and not turning into home/couch potato!
Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful day!
I guess i have yet to understand what does it mean to LIVE, what is living the cherished moment, what is being ALIVE...
There is so much to learn, and even more to put it action in our daily lives. Like i said before, i need courage, i think i need to borrow some...
Who can give me courage, who can lend me some guts, who can help me to live without being afraid of the unknown and not fear the haunting past...
I think i found the lender of courage, the fountain of hope...
Thank you... thank you very much...to my "Yes, i love you."
