Musical Monday





Don't Go Away
BY2

Looking through your eyes,theres nothing to hide
And you're no longer mine
How could I survive when you say goodbye
Why do birds still fly up high?

Can't stop the tears from fallin
We used to be so fine when you walked into my life
I tried to reach out for you just to be with you
My heart is breakin

Don't Don't go away
Baby, don't you know,I miss you so
Don't Don't go away
I've never been on my own before

Wooh Oh
Can't you hear me just take me with you
So don't don't go away

Don't Don't go away
Baby, don't you know,I miss you so
Don't Don't go away
I've never been on my own before
So won't you feel my heartbeat once more

Food For Thought

气质的简单生活(之一)

幻灯泡

赵琬仪

  与其说无印良品的商品满足了现代人的审美需求,还不如说它所兜售的生活气质实现了纯粹生活的初衷。

  如果延续“少即是多”(less is more)的逻辑,那么简单就一点都不简单了。

  简单要做到自然不做作,像日本商品设计师深泽直人推崇的“without thoughts”(不假思索),即使没有千锤百炼,若少了深思熟虑后付诸行动,恐怕所谓的简单只是掩饰乏味与平庸的修饰语而已。

  这正是许多提倡简约的生活概念品牌让人着迷的地方。你总想知道,简洁的线条,净明的配色,厚质的材感背后经过多少的思索与实验。

  不少设计师会告诉你,促成简约美学的条件是崇尚自然。而捕捉自然的形态与规律来自细微的生活观察。

  这些年来,总能够从产品设计与制作反映摩登现代生活的触觉与美感的,日本生活概念品牌无印良品是其中一个。

  无印良品成为欧美,以至亚洲消费者的宠儿后,人们总不忘记它的日本文化根源。经营无印良品的良品计划株式会社的社长金井政明上月接受《早报周刊》专访时指出,品牌的日本文化根源可以追溯到日本民族的农夫DNA。农耕生活需随环境气候做调整,因此事事没有绝对清晰的是与非。这个特性反映在无印良品的品牌精神便是隐藏个性,让顾客自由地各取所需。

  日本文化字典里的自由配搭,搬到新加坡的生活语境便是实用与效率。

上月底无印良品ION旗舰店开幕,和YZ一边逛一边尝试寻找日本无印专店的影响,或者影子。从逛商店联想到品牌文化与东南亚文化的契合问题。

  YZ第一个想到的是,无印良品的品牌哲学和新加坡的文化一样讲究实用性。“只是我们的做法不够MUJI精致、漂亮。”

  二十多岁的YZ,踏入无印良品商店时,第一个想到的产品是它一年当中出版两次,分春夏和秋冬两季的商品型录。因为“里头有我向往的生活”。

  为无印良品型录作视觉styling的罔尾美代子说过:“我作造型时是以立体的概念来思考,传达的其实不是人与物的部分,而是他们所在环境的空气。”

  这句话说得有点玄。说得直接些,便是环境和人一样,也有气质这回事。

  2003年,原研哉为无印良品制作了一系列将人文气息融入大自然的广阔怀抱中的影像。这系列影像,没有多余的文字。就在天与地相遇的一处直竖品牌名字,温婉却有力地促销品牌的形象与精神。

  与其说无印良品的商品满足了现代人的审美需求,还不如说它所兜售的生活气质实现了纯粹生活的初衷。

邻里學校也有揚眉吐氣的一天!! ^^
而我的小學母校也在“最進步”的排行榜榜上有名, 讓我又驚又喜。。
希望家長們能擺脫“名校才是最好的”的不邏輯的思想。。
如果是中學,我可能還會贊同。。
但指的若是小學,我就百思不得其解了。。
只不過是小學而已嘛,也沒有任何以成績為入學的標準, 如何定奪進入名校的學生都一定是聰穎過人/乖巧/優秀呢?
那又怎麽來個近朱者赤,近墨者黑??
説白了,大家其實都在同一個起跑點上。。

而且小學生涯應該是無憂無慮的。。
就讓孩子們享受童年吧。。
往後爭個你死我活的日子多著呢, 何必急在這一時半刻??

我真的很感激那時我父母給了我很多自由, 沒有多餘的課外活動, 沒有上不完的補習, 沒有不切實際的期望, 讓我有一個沒有壓力與充滿歡笑的童年

小人當道??

recently got quite a number of frens complaining to me about their work/colleagues..
all e backstabbing, all e stress etc..

well, i din experience tt in my work but i got kena stabbed by my supposedly 'friends' lor.. >.<

可是人生本來不如意的事就十之八九, 讓你可以看清其他人的真面目何嘗不是一件值得慶幸的事??



& i know im slow, but i jus dawn on me tt Nov is ending and on a further note, 2009..

final 3 wks in bugis *sob sob*
1 more mth before i get older again (by chinese calculation)

25 liao leh.. things i wanted to achieve still remains as a dream..

i realli nid to pull up my socks, esp what i promise to my manager now..




my sis going taiwan again today..
how i miss taiwan!! =(


& in order to get free shipping, my itchy fingers go clicking happily on sites again and no surprise, end up buying some items & at e same time also grabbed some samples to try out..




1. L'Oréal Paris Derma Genesis Pore Minimising Smoother Gel Cream
2. L'Oréal Paris White Perfect Transparent Rosy Whitening (NIGHT)
3. Dermalogica MultiVitamin Power Firm
4. SUNPLAY Deep Sea Moisturizing Mask


shopping wise, i seriously think mayuki nid to award me with PERMANENT SUPER VIP status liao.. lolz..
hav never bought so mani items over 2 yrs from a single shop prior to mayuki =D

& can i jus accept e fact tt no matter wat, i will spend some amt on shopping every mth??
i guess tt's normal right? =P


& its also onli recently tt i know tt e impression i leave on some of my frens are, hmmm, dunno whether to say its good or bad...

- one thought i will frequent sites tt teach ppl on make up/ how to be beautiful
(which i realli go 'huh?' cos most of e times i overslept until i rush out to work w/o putting make up + i dun realli like make up)
- one say i look like e kind tt will spend time dressing myself up in order to look good
(this one depends on whether i can wake up on time or not..)
- one say "huh, i dun think u will jus window shop right?"
(yeah, right... =.=")
- some told me i seems to be shopping most of the time..
(& i thought im more of a hard core drama fan)

although i dun agree with wat they say, i cant stop wondering is there some truth in it??
i know i hav some soft spots lah, but e situation is not so bad right??

Food For Thought

翻译

姚忠在

红尘好

  翻译,不简单,不容易。

  我生平第一次接触翻译,是在大学里上翻译课,如果没有记错,那是选修科,而非必修科,选修无任欢迎,不修悉听尊便,自由选择。

  修读翻译的同学相当踊跃,年青人,总想多掌握一门知识。教授来了,是位老先生,一进课堂就讲课,没有半句多余话,他在黑板上涂涂写写,从基本翻译教起,是位认真的学者。

  男同学不甚用心,几个混蛋互相打眼色,看来已选定了目标,准备向某几位女同学发动攻势,计划在月圆之夜,约美女到湖边唱情歌。

  女同学最是认真,分发下来的讲义,立刻变成圣经,抄抄抄,一字不漏,教授讲什么,她们就抄什么。听说有位很会背书的,考试之前通宵苦战,背呀背呀,在书桌上睡着了,梦中打翻了桌上的饮料,隔天满桌蚂蚁阵,有如吴宇森导演的《赤壁》阵势。

  我在梦游,教授讲十句,只吸收五句,对翻译似懂非懂,也最不喜欢背讲义,考试的时侯,用自己的方式翻译,结果拿了个“D”,不及格。

  我的翻译因缘,到此为止,接下来的二十五年,专心在航空界发展,向来没跟翻译挂钩,直到进入了广告界,必须把英文广告,译为华文广告,才再度跟翻译结缘,真后悔当年没把翻译修好,迟咯!迟咯!

  英文广告天花龙凤,撰写广告的阿哥阿姐,有大把时间,酝酿文字创意,当英文原文交到中文文案(Chinese Copywriter) 手上时,通常是箭在弦上,急如星火,明早就是见报时刻!

这种十万火急,迫在眉睫的局势,真的非常要命,中文文案必须以最精简的文字,勾画出产品的特色,若顾客使用它,会得到什么好处。那头催催催,这头赶赶赶,火烧眉毛,形势逼人,急是急,却是对翻译的磨炼,加强了翻译能力。

  命运安排,我从此跟翻译挂钩,在出版集团那四年,偶尔翻译些学问的文字,在慈善基金这三年,工作是把中文译为英文,我开始时没把握,翻译多了,逐渐得心应手,又多一项能力。

  有心走向专业,当然得更上一层楼,我在学习的同时,也承接翻译工作,书本的、广告的、基金的、法律的、机构集团的,都能够胜任。

  从没想过在翻译业发展,命运如此安排,我顺应着接受,冥冥中,存在太多玄妙的事。

在大學時我朋友把她的翻譯功課拿給我看, 我差點沒傻了眼。。
以爲懂雙語而在翻譯時能左右逢源的想法也消失了一大半 ><
有可能我對雙語的掌握還沒到如火純青的境界吧, 我發現我大多時候還挺詞窮的。。
也有可能每個語言都有自己獨特的韻味/精髓吧
所以當你嘗試翻譯成另一個語言時, 總覺得沒有把那句話/那段文所蘊含的意義表達出來。。
難怪很多人總是說原汁原味還是最好的。。 =D

Food For Thought

物质亚洲

丹女
山外山

  从事葡萄酒生意的音从巴黎到香港公干。她近20年没到这城市,第二天就这样评论:“简直不敢想象住在这城市里,没有一点美感,到处是金钱膜拜的痕迹。人活得很不自然,完全和人该有的基本价值和环境分割开来。满街是拿着名贵皮包的aspiring rich(渴望富裕者)穿着完全衬不上皮袋的鞋子和衣服,没有一点品味。在巴黎,这样的女人是奇观。”

  “音,你已是巴黎人,所以才这样认为。你想想,如果一个人从小在香港长大,每天接受一堆关于金钱的信息,不是楼价股票,就是明星身上的行头值多少钱;更厉害的还包括当人家小老婆能捞多少油水,加上一堆女性爱看的八卦杂志教少女怎么钓有钱佬,这样子长大的人还能怎么生活?”她看着音气急败坏的表情,想起自己刚到香港的时候。

  “难道他们不知道最重要的是他们究竟是谁,而不是身上究竟挂着什么吗?”音更急了。

  “你太理想主义,太哲学了。当地方这么小,一切都标着价钱;当很久以来许多人都把这里当作是暂居、赚钱的地方;当管理这地方的官员居然洋洋得意告诉外国人他们居住的社区距离一般老百姓很远,很exclusive(高级,普通人不易靠近)的时候,你认为什么对他们来说是最重要的呢?这个城市本来就不是让人来meditate(思考冥想)的。”

  音说起到香港接触酒商的经过。香港酒商只要所有顶级的波尔多葡萄酒,因为当地人尤其中国富商只喝顶级葡萄酒。她说这几年来,中国富裕人口对红酒的要求,让她手上一款红酒从当年的30欧元,涨到最近的几百欧元。她说酒不是大众消费品,没办法因需求增加就大量增产,所以价格才会水涨船高,现在不少法国人反而消费不起他们当年喝的红酒。这让欧洲酒商既高兴又难过。钱赚多自然高兴,但是音说法国人向来觉得葡萄酒是艺术,如果喝的人只懂得咕嘟咕嘟豪饮,又搞得法国人买不起酒,自然是会引起他们反感。

  音的话让她想起她的中国朋友,富裕的中国朋友富起来是近十年的事,他住新加坡Ritz Carlton时,每天吃最好的鱼翅……她喜欢她的中国朋友但对他每天吃鱼翅却不敢苟同,这样的事情让西方人知道肯定有话说。

  “亚洲这些国家现在追求物质的疯狂度真的很可怕。我觉得消费主义在这里达到了前所未有的高潮。”音总结她这两天的感受。

  “如果说消费,我想谁也比不上美国吧。”她突然觉得自己必须为亚洲说两句话。“搞得全世界那么物质,那么崇尚品牌,还不都是欧美发明的玩意儿。现在亚洲要来分享这一切,我看西方人感觉很受威胁吧。”

嘴里这么说,心里还真的在想:天!10亿人一起买东西那会是什么情景?现在才刚刚开始而已!她很想加上一排感叹号来表达心里的惶恐!

for those who are avid online shoppers will know that somehow spore beauty scene not veri exciting..

even though there are alot of brands in spore, there are still so mani brands that are not ava in spore!!

so its quite a pleasant surprise when i was window shopping along these days to see new brand launches..

1st up is Palgantong Powder @ Sasa
& then Etude House makes its way to Spore
next up is Dr Jart @ Wastons
following is Burt Bee's in Sephora
then its My Beauty Dairy ava in Guardian
& right now DHC is finally launching at selected Wastons!!

ok, these are wat i notice..
guess there are more brand launches which i forget abt e name of e brands.. lolz..

however my main grouse is that even though they are launched in spore, their prices are like chop-carrot-head..

for eg, DHC is still veri much cheaper if u buy in either HK or Taiwan..

then My Beauty Diary masks, even with its current promo, e price is still twice tt of Taiwan..

makes me realli wonder, if u bring in tt brand, cfm u got it wholesale from e country of origin which is cfm much cheaper than tt country's retail price wat..
then even if u include shipping charges and related logistics costs, rentals of warehouse and retail outlet, initial marketing costs, perhaps exclusive distributor fees and of course, profits, does it warrant a doubling or even tripling of e native country's retail price??

does it gives us a glimpse to how profitable beauty biz is in spore??

& with this increasingly connected world, if u price e items too high, wont ppl go to buy at tt country of origin??

although yes, one may argue abt e cost of flying there, i dun think its difficult to find frens who are going overseas to help u buy ba..

for me, this yr i alr know 5 grps of frens went Jap, 6 grps went TW, 2 grps went to Aust and another 2 grps went Europe etc..
& its not even Dec yet..
Dec i know of some ppl having some plans..
which makes it so easy to buy stuff from overseas + free shipping somemore.. =P


& i long to see more Korean and Jap brands launching in spore at more competitive prices.... ><
Wednesday, November 11, 2009

wow, they are good!!

the inmates are even exposed to korean hits earlier than me!! lolz




















i wonder how long do they learn to master those steps

seriously not easy..
Tuesday, November 10, 2009

somehow tio shoot from e back again... >_<

& its from e guys!! WTH!! *qi dao*

realli leh, anything not happy jus come to me la..

i so not approachable meh??

WL eh, if u all want to become 婆婆 & 媽媽, 等下輩子好嗎?!? =.="

but somehow saw it coming..

time for me to trust my instinct & not brush it aside as being too sensitive liao..
proven time and again that it is right afterall..

Food For Thought

年龄的门槛

翁燕萍

萍水相逢

  年轻就是有很多的时间和用不完的精力,却又不知道要怎样去利用它们。因为不知道要怎样更有意义的使用时间和精力,因此变成了挥霍。年轻就是有条件去浪费。浪费时间、浪费精力,更有可能因无知、幼稚而挥霍了别人给予的爱和情谊。

  年纪十字出头的日子过得最慢,怎么样都看不到二字头所带来的自主和自由。十字头的日子里只有友情,看不见亲情。朋友在那段期间最为重要,有朋友一起度过的时光胜于一切。多愁善感的日子里,有更多的感触与敏感的触觉。他们挥霍掉的,也是思绪和情绪。或许有人浪费掉的,更是写情书的冲动。他们不知道的是,若干年后,他们将不再有心情和时间去写情书了。

  年轻有青春的压力和烦恼。青春痘痘长脸上,灰心的是脸上赶不走的痘痘。已尽了力去处理个人卫生的问题,甚至是戒掉油腻的食物,可荷尔蒙失调仍然作祟。还没建立起来的自信和自我,打击着卑微的自尊。

  过了二字的门槛,岁月突然加速。日子过得快到让人措手不及。这个时候的日子过得充实而更有志向,所以有趣。生命中不再只有朋友。同事之间的八卦和勾心斗角的剧情才正式的在生活中上演。精力还是有的,可时间少了。二字写到一半的时候,心也开始怕了。感觉青春就要结束了,无法想象三字头的以后。二字头的末,心是烦躁、焦虑的。有冲劲、有目标,却有更多达不到的理想。二字头的心,在现实生活中跌跌撞撞,它需要感受一下心灵的平衡与平静。还算年轻的心,它不懂得处之泰然。

  三字出头,也不是突然就懂得随遇而安的。是之前的经历换来了对于人生的体会,而有了全新的人生态度。这个时候,时间已经不够用,精力也已经开始退化了。再也不能熬夜了。身体需要休息,也没有挥霍的奢侈。对于眼前,无需再恐惧四字头的来临。心自信而自在了。发现日子过得快与慢,其实在于自己。

din know tt i can get so lucky in a lucky draw..

although yes, i've won movie tix, hampers, vouchers etc in contests/competitions/lucky draws and tio 4D/toto a few times before, the monetary value is not alot.. at most with a value of 300?

then now i won a professional mixer worth $1000+

now kinda believe that if its yours, it'll be yours..

anyway e story goes like this:

went to Hort Park with my mum on sun for the Clean and Green Singapore 2010.
wat attracted me initially is actualli the location.. lolz
cos me n ning has been mentioning to go there since beginning of e yr..
but then my mum also like to go so i decide to accompany my mum to go there instead b4 she nag me for not going out with her again..

anyway down there got several booths on the green theme and some game booth..
& there's a booth tt has this Terak Pak Challenge to guess the num of flattened drink packets in a carton and the clue is e number is between 1100 and 1200.
somehow e 1st number tt comes to my mind is 1188.
so i jus fill up e coupon and drop it in e box, thinking 'aiya, jus for fun'
turns out tt my guess is correct & i end up getting e 2nd prize
hmm wat's e probability of tt man?
though okay la, there are onli 2 prizes given out =P
seems like my instinct realli quite good.. lolz


& cos of this, i met SQ..
i knew he's there helping out la cos he works in NEA but i din go find him cos i presume he's busy plus im with my mum..
he said when he heard e MC announcing my name, he was like 'hmm this name sounds veri familar'
then he got a shock when he saw me realli going up e stage..
haha, din expect me to go to such event issit??
im rather eco-friendly one hor.. =D

& why did i mention 'if its yours, it'll be yours' in e 1st place?

cos before e lucky draw i was playing e games at the various booth and there's this spin-the-wheel and if u spin till 25 degree (the energy efficient temperature) u can get a bookmark which is quite nice..
so i was trying my luck but on both times e pin jus simply refuses to move a little more to e magical 25..

but i end up bringing home a $1000+ worth of electrical appliance..

wat irony..














if u've missed e chance to participate in this event, it will be held at various CDCs this coming weekend..

look out for the Terak Pak challenge and the super nice cum auspicious number! =P



for e Hort Park, generally a nice place
i wld like to go there again if not for its inaccessibility..
will like to check out the glasshouse and butterfly garden which were closed on sun.. =(


















& since im on e topic of free stuff, got 2 batches of free samples from Fr3b..
their sample range getting more exciting but my main grouse is still e sample size..
generally they are too small and by e time i finish e sample, i still cant feel or see e difference..
or maybe my skin too slow to react/absorb??
& e admin team isnt veri friendly and helpful too..
wondering if i shd join the other sample site..





can say tt im quite disappointed in this batch of samples..
too small size liao!

1. Covermark Clear Wash (wonder if it will be as good as Fancl Washing Powder)
2. Dr Jart Rejuvenating BB Cream - Silver (heard good reviews about it and has been on my wanted list.. but i wonder how long can this sachet last me)
3. Potpots Intensify Potion (face serum)
4. The Face Shop Eco Vert Extreme Moisture Cream + TFS $5 Voucher






purposely choose masks and pdts with a larger sample size =D

1. Cortry Eye Mask (hav been wanting to try this out too!)
2. Loreal Derma Genesis toner
3. Waston Whitening and Moisturing Mask
4. La Roche Posay HYDRAPHASE XL Light Moisturiser (a rather pro brand, if its realli good, may want to buy e retail size)

Musical Monday





挥之不去
殷悅

是什么让我听见你说
是什么让我以为你在身边经过
是不是太过和平的分手
才让人更舍不得放手

像失了魂魄 不愿放过
有你的感觉 和任何有你的线索
挥之不去的寂寞
是不是说
这份你已经丢下的感情
我还执着

我游荡在记忆深处
寻找残留下的温度
我在风吹乱头发的街上怀念着幸福
我在镜子面前无助
我在梦里慌乱追逐
我在只有我的深夜里醒来
感到孤独

像失了魂魄 不愿放过
有你的感觉 和任何有你的线索
挥之不去的寂寞
是不是说
这份你已经丢下的感情
我还执着

我游荡在记忆深处
寻找残留下的温度
我在风吹乱头发的街上怀念着幸福
我在镜子面前无助
我在梦里慌乱追逐
我在只有我的深夜里醒来
感到孤独

我游荡在记忆深处
寻找残留下的温度
我在风吹乱头发的街上怀念着幸福
我在镜子面前无助
我在梦里慌乱追逐
我在只有我的深夜里醒来
