温柔的对待人
经过了许许多多的人生历练后，
自己已再也不是初出茅庐的小虾米了。
吖~~
小虾米耶。玩过超经典rpg游戏“金庸群侠传”的人都应该会知道，
几乎脍炙人口啦，哈哈！
嗯。。
总之，
因为不是小虾米，小毛头了，
所以也渐渐明白，
懂得怀有一颗感恩的心是多么的重要。。
华人上千年传统与文化其中的教诲包括了
谦逊，尊重人，
和饮水思源。
不是只有长辈才給予尊重，
而是人与人之间都应该尊重彼此。
长辈在适时必须给晚辈正面的鼓励，
而晚辈也必须对长辈有礼。
做上司的赏识下属的才能，
下属也积极地跟上司学习。
做父母的与老师要肯定孩子与学生的努力，
相对的，
父母亲于老师的用心，
学生孩子们也必须要体会到。
上述的只是几个比较广泛的例子。
总之，
要懂得珍惜身边的人，
更加温柔的对待所有的人，
在适当的时候透露自己的感激于关怀，
和回报别人对你的好。
即使方式拙笨，
自己的用心，
始终会被感受到的。

Sometimes, someone..
Sometimes, someone say something, or do something deemed so inconsequential that they will forget in an instant, but it leaves a lasting impression on you.
It may just change your life forever.
Many years back, there was this incident that I could only remember after Buddy jolted my memory, but which remained etched in hers.
We boarded a bus in the late afternoon. As it was not peak hours yet, we managed to find 2 seats side by side. As she was about to take the window seat, I stopped her because the hot afternoon sun was shining in and i did not want her to be under the sun. So I took that window seat.
It was really nothing.. But she remembered it as a sweet thing that I have done for her. I must have been quite "bland" most of the time. LOL..
..
^^ That's why I love the afternoon sun. Afternoon sunshine. Fun.
~~~~
There was this other incident which left an impression on me. I was spreading butter at Cafe Cartel (where you can get plenty of bread) when Jun commented on how nicely I am able to spread the butter!
It is always innocuous comments like this that strikes the chord of someone's hearts.
They are there to stay, not just "hi" and "goodbye".
LOL. Nowadays I pretty pride myself on spreading the butter and it comes as no surprise if I offer to spread it for u!
HHAHAHAHAHAHAA By the way I just ate 4 slices of bread. Not many considering I eat 7 slices for breakfast.
-_-

Fishes or Birds
2 tests this week do not stop my mind from drifting and wandering in space.
I wonder which is greater: the number of fishes in the ocean, or the number of birds in the sky?
I tried to google but to no avail.
Can anyone give me an answer?
Erm..
Another question. Is there really an answer for every question?
And does it matter even if we do not know?

每个它都可以窥探大地之心．
灵感不只靠眼睛吧。。
所以，
我竖起了耳朵。。
起初听到的
只是自己在夜里
拖着沙沙的脚步声，
参杂着路上
来来往往的车子
的行驶声。
好像没有了。。。
难道灵感不再眷顾我了？
呃．
慢着。。
我听到了。 ＝）
树上的绿叶
在夜里彼此摩擦着，
好像是尾随着风的鼓动，
跳着曼妙的舞姿。
树上的精灵
不甘示弱，
好像窃窃私语着．
可是仔细听的话，
她们是用着清脆和动人的声音
唱着首首陌生
却扣人心弦的歌．
原来，
感官是如此的重要啊．
每个它都可以窥探大地之心．
倾听，
就能听到心灵物语．

Heart felt.
What makes a heart beat?
72 times a min.
4320 times a hour.
103680 times a day.
37843200 times in a normal year.
.
No wonder it can never keep on beating.
Hmm, but some people just have the magic to make your heart skip a beat, or accelerate it.
..
But if you think your heart is incomplete, and you have been searching till the ends of the world for that one to fill the little portion..
I guess.. What is most important is to really open your heart to new possiblities if there is nothing coming. Move on. Get a life. Let your heart be strong and in the end,
You will find the right one.
Be Happy. Open Heart Open Heart.
And that means 开心开心.
Heart~felt. Really.

Music and its flavours.
Funny. Perhaps it is magic.
It is funny how Music spins delicate tales around people and interwines the hearts of them since everyone has different interpretations of the same piece of music. Despite that, it manages to spin intricate webs that link different people throughout the world.
This is especially felt due to the rapidly shrinking world where one end of the globe could immerse itself in the richly different culture of another living on the other side. Certainly, Music succeeds to capture the images of the ordinary and captivate the extraordinary imagination of those who has been absorbed by its intensity and magic.
The diverse culture across borders means that music which narrates similar stories are on vast ends of each pole. Yet, each successful piece of music, despite being different in nature, brings out the story within. They just achieve their means through thoroughly different methods.
And the listeners living in this age are the one who benefit most as they can easily immerse themselves in latin American music or Japanese folk music. There are burgeoning varieties to choose from as the world "shinks". It is not alien to see that in just a classroom, everyone has different tastes to music.
Interestingly, due to globalisation, cultural diffusion occurs. Cultural diffusion simply refers to the well-attested transfer of cultural items from one culture to another. It is not a surprising phenonemon to observe that music with different innate characteristics start showing similarities of different genre. Mandarin Pop now has rap and R&B. It is certainly a relevation to see how different genres of music now exhibit similar flavours as well as striving to retain its own uniqueness.
Hopefully, everyone benefits.
Goodnight, and hope you enjoy your music.

Doctor Love
Hush guys and gals!! It is the V-day week!
Whether you are the blushing couple who cannot wait for your first Valentine together, or the fretting one who cannot figure out what to do due to the massive figures involved, you cannot deny the colossal effect that Vday has on people. Even those who are perpetually left on the shelf like this pathetic soul who is writing rubbish here about love has plans for Vday!! LOL.
Now, lets Doctor Love impart some pschology on love to everyonE~~~
Whenever we try to list reasons for loving someone, more often than not, we get perplexed. Perplexed by our reasons, perplexed by our own actions. It is a wrong call when we try to associate our feelings with cognitive reasoning. Love is an affectively determined behaviour and the mighty brain cannot translate such emotional inputs into corrective reasoning.
Hence, self-reflection hinders self-insight. If you think you really love someone, do not bother to analyse the reasons behind it. Just go for it bravely first!!!
HOHOHO!
HUAT AHHH!

The lizard on one corner.
I was a lizard perched on one corner of the wall, watchin with earnest intent the man who was lying on his bed. His eyes were distant; his face bitter as if he was holding a secret too heavy to bear; to share. He was a jailbird of his own emotions.
The man had earlier woke up to an ominous dream. In his dream, she had sunk to the abyss of vice and jumped willingly into bottomless pits of despair. He felt an impulse to protect her, yet he was too powerless to do anything. She did not respond to his calls, his desperate wails for her attention. He could only watch the entire episode unfolding right before his eyes.
In reality, they had drifted apart, like sure mists forming and rising, and dispersing in all that turbulence. He felt so much like a distant stranger at her door, secured by locks that have never been. Once, they have been connected by an emotional presence, now it went up like the mist. News of her, he heard through the voices of others.
..
..
I had known him well, yet I do not really know what he was thinking, all these years.

The premonition.
"You have grown thinner." or "Gosh, are u on a diet?" or "Whatever happened to you?"
Lines like that are a common trend recently.
I received similar comments from a couple of people the last 2 months and I came to conclude that there is a certain element of truth in these lines. Today, my brother's soon to be mother in law who has only seen me in a couple of meetings mentioned in a off remark that I have slimmed down.
As a matter of fact, I have shed several pounds and I am now able to slip into tigher pants. 28 inch jeans fit with a bit of space left..
A thought sunk in. Will I shrink and shrink, shrink and shrink till I vanish from this world?
Frequent stomach pains and strange sounds coming from my abdomen remind me of my mum's agony last time. It was a familiar source of worry when I see her suffering often at night but I could only watch helplessly.
It is a source of familarity for me to ponder.. I cannot procrastinate anymore. My stomach is giving me some trouble even now. I will see a doctor come next week.
And I keep on visualising myself at my death bed. I have bad vibes about this. However, it is a fact that life ends with death.
.
.
.
Sometimes, I just need to be convinced that I am not alone.
At the very least, I know I am not.

Sniff sniff.
My nose is making weird noises. Sniff sniff. I am lucky there wasn't any glue around.
And.. It is certainly behaving like a rusty 23 year engine.. Grrr..
If only my nose was my mouth. At least I could have gotten it to shut up. *Foul Mouth*
I do not need a feng shui master, a fortune teller, a psychic with supernatural powers or the greatest mathematician to work out a most complex equation following the strangest looking algorithm to know the answer.
I am sick.
Let's stop this before I take a blade and fight it out with my own nose. ( Ha Du Ken from Mr Nose in the background)
NIght peeps. LOL!!!
I hereby announce EXAM STRESS is here!!

The DAYS of my life.
Monday is Salty Day. (闲人)
Tuesday is a random day.
Wednesday is housework day.
Thursday is thirst day.
Friday is 堕落 day. Friday nite is the mood for love.
Saturday is soccer day.
Sunday is homework day.
Even days are charity days.
Odd days are present days.
But everyday is running late day.
Gosh I am late almost everyday. Late for class, late for appointments and late for sleep too.
o_O
..
Yet, I always manage to convince myself that I might stop being late by tomorrow.
I need to convince myself that I will stop being late today.

呜~~呜呜呜~~呜呜
The moon is round.
Mooncakes are round.
And if you eat too many, your face will become round.
...wu.. wuu..wuuu.
If only everything is round, you make one big turn and you are bound to get back to the starting point.
However, some lines are always parallel in the laws of universe and they do not have any common intersecting point.
Wander too much and you get lost. I guess I prefer to eat my mooncakes and think lesser. Simply put, I am not a rubber band and stretching myself too much will cause failure.
Well, a rubber band starts round yet when stretched, goes out of shape..
All the work is making me cranky. I just want to wuuuuuuuuuuuu~~
呜~~呜呜呜~~呜呜
呜~~呜呜呜~~呜呜

Handphones.
Read in one of tinG's posts about remembering a person's handphone number though the irony is that it has been deleted from the handphone memory.
"有一个人的手机号码，我非常熟悉，忘也忘不了。虽然，这个人的号码已不储存在我的电话里， 但我很清楚的知道，手机号码已经永久烙印在脑海里，手机主人也将永远住在记忆中。"
The above was adapted from her blog.
The handphone memory is unlike ours. We could easily delete away our contacts, and those whom we do not bother will be lost, just like lost memories that we locked behind dusty old bars in the brain.. Yet, there will be those that no matter how hard you try to forget，you cannot get them out of your mind.
努力去忘记。
终于忘记了。
直到有一天，
我忘记我已经忘记。
记忆排山倒海地回来。
我其实不曾忘记。
~~~~~
Anyway, my handphone is really cranky. Sometimes, people over the other side cannot hear me. Sometimes, I cannot hear what people over the other side is saying.
Sometimes, both cannot hear anything. Ineffective communication.
It works the same way for human beings.
*Intricate silence.*

Blogging - the purpose of it all.
I have been rather occupied about trying to make extra cash through my blog. As you can see, there have a couple of additions in my blog with all those conspicuous advertisements occupying notable spaces.
I guess my area of concern for now will generally steer towards money making opportunities through blogging. Therefore, it is for good reason that I breached this subject while messengering Pui today.
I had a mini msn conversation with Pui today afternoon about how good it will be to earn enough money through blogging. We both admitted that blogging is a rather lucrative business.
She lamented " it will be serious fun to be able to laze around at home yet being able to earn 1000 in cash week in week out." Well, it goes along the line like this, though that wasn't really direct from her mouth. It just depends on how popular your blog is, and how popular you are in real / reel life.
The pressure is definitely on for such bloggers to produce quality content continuously in order to satisfy the paying audience. I could sense a couple of white hair strands popping out the moment this thought crosses my mind.
I am not inclined to think that my blog will ever become that famous, except I am putting myself in other people's shoes. Of course, if sharing their pressure equates to sharing their money earned, I will gladly offer my services.
But the heck with it. If I am really under such a heavy stress, and all the undesirable effects come caving in, I suppose I will walk away from it all. There are many avenues of earning money. Money can be earned the hard way too.
If only it can be so easy. .
Even if one can walk away from it all with no strings attached, one has the obligation-responsibility to carry on blogging. Just think about the massive audience who will be disappointed. Think about it. If Jay Chou decides to shrug his shoulders and say:" I am quitting music", or Steven Gerrad announces, " I am going to hang up my boots".
Gosh, I am diverting already.
Anyway, peeps, whether this is a private venue for me to rant, or it being a public blog with thousands of viewers, I will always try to write good quality posts. Not just for my sake, but for the readers' sake too. I am not doing it for money at all. Money is just an incentive.
Even if one day, there is only going to be one reader here, I will still continue to post. Just for your sake.
LOL!!

No one should be forced against his own will.
Tuition ended 30minutes before the appointed time because my kid has to attend a dinner upon orders from his father. I would not call it a dinner, rather it is more like a social function as I heard.
Socialising makes more sense for adults and kids of his age would probably prefer staying home without the supervision of his parents as they go for the dinner. That will be freedom, isn't it?
Well, despite my kid echoing his protests over the phone, they were not met with approval from his dad. I could sense my kid's anger boiling as he whined and hollered into the phone, but his mini ruckus was stemmed as soon as it started.
Grouses, grouses. But the authority was not to be shaken and he was finally sent packing into his room to change to attire deemed proper for the function.
Of course, I made my way to the door, after biding a hasty goodbye.
...
Now now. No one should be forced against his own will, at least that's what I perceive. However, kids will always have to take orders from higher authorities, be it reasonable or not. Should they be held to ransom? It's for their own good, they say. Or they say that they are not sensible enough to make their own decisions.
I am not entirely sure about that.
At least I have the freedom of choice. Though, I have to acknowledge that it is a double-edged sword, as it requires a lot of self-discipline most of the time to get things done.
And sometimes, laziness prompt me to rather have a higher body to make the decisions for me.

Worry is like a rocking chair
Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, yet gets you nowhere.
~ Henry Tan
My brother said this a few years back and there is quite a lot of truth in that. Considering and making decisions with careful planning is important, as we both agreed on during our small talk over lunch after praying to mama as it was mama's birthday today. However, worrying too much and being pedantic about details does set you back instead of propelling you forward.
Dun worry about how things go as long as you have planned for it properly. The best in the business will still make mistakes no matter how good his plan is.

Anyway, Thomas, me and Sk's project group mate for EG2401 Engineering Professionalism, seems to be a rather fine guy to work with. He's English and he plays soccer too. Oh his favorite team is Aston Villa , pretty much due to the fact that he is a home grown kid there.
Gosh, he tells us how easy Asians get knocked off from the ball due to a slight push from him. I am interested to play and see if he can just knock me off like a bowling pin under the incoming threat of the bowling ball.
Speaking about soccer,
England won Russia
3-0. Pretty good goals from Owen.

My brother said this a few years back and there is quite a lot of truth in that. Considering and making decisions with careful planning is important, as we both agreed on during our small talk over lunch after praying to mama as it was mama's birthday today. However, worrying too much and being pedantic about details does set you back instead of propelling you forward.
Dun worry about how things go as long as you have planned for it properly. The best in the business will still make mistakes no matter how good his plan is.

Easier said than done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
其实，
到底是谁捆住了谁呢？
是他，还是你自己？
因为，
你还没放手。。
别太伤心了。。
有一天，
他的手一定会牵别人的手，
可是，
也会有一个人来牵你的手。

Cold death u. 冷死你。
I realised that there is a very bright light coming from a certain apartment from a block at least 500m away through my window.
Something smells fishy.
I suspect there are aliens living in that block.
Then I better get to know their daughter, if they have one. Her looks must be out of this world!!!
LOL~~

pedals.
Peeps, you can read bout 堕落的星期五 by clicking on the link.
Anyway, I coined a new term, "皮外朋友".
如果他们伤了你的话，你也只是受皮外伤而已.
I must be been quite lucky, knowing many true friends instead. And being true friends, they are not so prone to hurting u. And you do not want to hurt them too.
Been thinking about the uncertainty of life again.
Most of the time, chances do not come knocking twice, hence it is essential that we get a good grip over what appears so fleeting.
Though, do not regret what you have not done, because time never back pedals.
Just look ahead and keep a smile.
我是小峰。
我爱你。
你爱我吗？
