finally got this video up..
decide to upload to my almost-forgotten trusty photobucket instead.. =D
wonder if i shd upload all e rest of e videos as well..

anyway went to Wonder Girls music showcase last last fri @ MBS, all thanks to ning..
cos din even know tt they are coming to spore.. lolz..
it is free standing so both of us were like 'oh no, our poor legs'
end up e performance is shorter than we thought..
& too little performance time by the wonder girls!!
granted, its not supposed to be a concert but kinda expected more!
then e sound quality is not too good/inconsistent as well
hope next time e organisers can learn from e hiccups..

& ning was mentioning tt their dance steps are quite similar to those tt we saw in pubs so she wants me to learn them..
*the*
like i got any talent in dancing..
& next time dun sabo me to dancing again hor..

first proper match i watched for this world cup..

thanks to ying who booked a ultra good table at Mac!!
tts why watch till e end..

then 5 min before e match, ying was asking me wat's my prediction..
duno why i din say who will win (perhaps cos we both support netherland ba?) & guess e match score instead
i said 2-1 then she said 3-0

then in e end, e veri 莫名其妙 penalty kick makes my prediction hitting e bull's eye!
but i din bet!!

however, even if i bet, i will onli bet win, lose or draw..
cos probability higher..
which is wat i did during e last world cup but end up i still lose quite a bit such tt i dun bet on soccer afterward liao..

now i feels so tempted to bet on tml's Spain vs Portugal match.. but then hor, scared when i bet, it become not zun liao.. which happens not once before..
& i so wanna watch it!! =(

hmm let's see if my 6th sense is still as accurate..
i guess tml match score is 3-1 (Spain - 3, Portugal - 1)

数到三就不哭
陈慧琳

词:易家扬
曲:Kim Sun-Min


我会记住
我们拥抱的温度
我会守护
我们回忆的拼图
爱情是长长的旅途
是你给我第一步

我弹不出
没有明天的音符
我迷了路
走进往事的地图
快乐是上天的礼物
眼泪是爱的纪录
我想了又想
却不太清楚
怎么踏出下一步

missing you
我会倒数
数到三就不哭
就在这一夜
让爱结束
带走我给你的祝福

我不哭
我永远会记住
我们的爱情路
我带着你的爱
一步又一步
慢慢走向远处

missing you
我会倒数
数到三就不哭
就在这一夜
让爱结束
带走我给你的祝福

我不哭
我永远会记住
我们的爱情路
我带着你的爱
一步又一步
慢慢走向远处

我不管这个世界多冷酷
时间是我的催眠术
让我忘记你给的幸福

missing you
我会倒数
数到三就不哭
就在这一夜
让爱结束
带走我给你的祝福

我不哭
我永远会记住
我们的爱情路
我带着你的爱
一步又一步
慢慢走向远处

first its germany vs england..
now i realise all e European countries tt make it to e round of 16 are facing each other!!
jus their bad luck??
& not optimistic tt european countries can make it into e final..
e opponents tt stand in their way are unfortunately Brazil and Argentina..
my hope of a showdown btw south america & europe in e finals r fast vanishing..


then finally get to sing KTV in a long while!!
though things were not off to a good start initially, all in all, hav a great day with frens! =)

will also like to take this chance to thank all e frens who are by my side during this time period..
u know who you all are.. =)
all e words/actions & even jus simply being present for me makes me feel so touched and fortunate..
heartfelt appreciation ^^
因爲我自認我還蠻粗枝大葉, 若儅別人的朋友, 我不會是一個理想/體貼的朋友
塞翁失馬, 焉知非福
讓我領悟到,有時失去反而能讓人了解自己所擁有的
其實我不是真的一無所有

but over jus 4 mths??

Food For Thought



陈智成

  原来,孝,过去被尊为百善之首的行为准则,在现代以功利为依归的社会里也要承受严峻的考验。考验的方式免不了还是以功利为基础,从“唯我”的角度出发,用“价值”来衡量行为,然后判断对错。

  这样的思考方式本身或许没错,但是,倘若以为此乃用诸一切皆准,那就错了。错在于以为对天下万物万事都能订个以利为单位,再以量乘之的价,一切都能待价而沽,漫天开价,就地还价,“买、卖”双方同意,就此成交,谓之公平交易。然而,人类社会的行为,到底不单只是作买卖;公平,更不是一种仅含绝对数值的概念。

  最近报章上就出现了讨论孝道的议题,其中的议论虽不见什么新意,但久不久浮现一次这样的议论,倒是可以从中审视一回,像孝道这样的东方文化传统中曾经是不能“议价”的规范准则,被不曾间断的功利急流的冲蚀下,还幸存多少?到近年需要劳动立法来规范身为子女者必当奉养父母的“天职”,又说明了什么?

  “严父出孝子,慈母多败儿”早落伍了。很多过去要被斥责为忤逆不道的论调,早已时有所闻,而且被当成是此乃个人行使发表个人意见的权利而不存诟病。例如像这样的论调:父母之生下孩子,并不是孩子的选择,孩子在此父 / 母与子的关系中不是抉择的一方,故对由此关系所附带的一切,不应负责。即使是在孩子成长的过程中尽心尽力尽责地养育孩子,父母也不应该期望孩子在父母年老时予以奉养,并视此为理所当然。养儿防老的思想必须摒弃。因为这样的思想等同于父母把养儿育女当成是投资,把子女将来奉养父母当成是合理的投资回报,根本是一种商业行为。事实上,未必所有的投资都会有必然的回报,子女会奉养父母,投资有报;不奉养父母,不就投资失败而已。更何况,父母未得儿女同意而投资在儿女身上,又要儿女保证负担回报,那太不公平了。别的不说,儿女在成长过程中给父母带来的欢乐、充实与满足感,不也已经是给父母得到无限的回报了吗?父母还要求什么?

  孝之被残践至此,也难怪人口替代率每况愈下。

Musical Monday




一半
言承旭

作词:徐世珍
作曲:曹格


一直等 一个人 等了很久
这一场 独角戏 是很寂寞
春夏秋冬 我的视窗 只有风经过

爱很深 有多深 我也不懂
你走後 我的心变的脆弱
听一首歌 也觉得痛
但我谁也没有说

右边的座位 右边的枕头
都已经空了那麽久
为你守候 那是因为 我已经看透

没有你的爱
这个我只是一半
不哭了 不笑了
为谁努力我也不明白

没有人能取代
一个圆的另一半
我固执 的等待
等风再把你带回来

但是若是痲了木的痛呢??

我想我已經哭到累了。。。。。

Food For Thought

惊叹号与问号

赵琬仪

  在岛国,可以不可以,黑白分明。至于是不是,则是灰色地带,就像外国很多地方一样。

幻灯泡

  地铁列车遭人涂鸦事件在报章曝光后,两种反应展示了岛国社会的独特性——“这样也可以是头条新闻!?”“这么美,是毁坏公物?还是美化公物?!”

  这里不是欧美,甚至不是香港(香港的涂鸦艺术代表,从已逝的九龙皇帝曾灶财,到乐团LMF成员MC Yan,身体力行加强港人对涂鸦作为行为艺术的认识),一般人对涂鸦的认识,是“鬼画符”般地难看,接触到精彩作品的机会不多,真的看到一幅像样的,忙着欣赏,很容易忘记这个行为本身潜在了明目张胆地搞破坏,目无法纪。

  所以你不难明白为什么地铁公司职员用了两天的时间才发现列车的两幅相当专业的涂鸦作品不是广告,是vandalism(破坏公物)。

  受访的涂鸦创作者表示,涂鸦也分合法(经授权)和非法(未经授权)。但是,涂鸦艺术界的传奇故事很多属于非法的。投入涂鸦艺术创作,需要打游击战的实力——速度要快(几分钟完成作品,神不知鬼不觉),趁人不备时出击(在最没有可能却容易赢得收视率的地方),而且一定不能被发现行踪(见光死,抓到便玩完了)。

  涂鸦行为染指公共交通工具,特别是地下铁,历史可追溯到上个世纪60年代末的纽约。70年代中美国经济低迷,在缺乏资源还原车厢面貌的情况下,地铁涂鸦“轰炸”(涂鸦界称在地下铁留下涂鸦作品为 bombing)十分猖獗。直到有关当局将杜绝地铁涂鸦为首要工作,见一个(涂鸦)除一个,看谁比谁快,谁比谁有耐力,涂鸦分子涂累了才放弃劳民伤财的对抗。

  然而,在对恐怖袭击高度戒备的大气候下,在岛国,跑去在公共交通工具上涂鸦,行为所谓的艺术性已被它提供的假设及引发的恐怖想象掩盖。

  所以当两幅涂鸦图案出现在地铁列车外层上,令人惊叹的不是它们的专业水准,而是画画的人是怎么做到的。想到这里,你就会为每天使用地铁代步的150万乘客,包括你个人与家人好友皱眉头。

地铁公司、公共交通安全委员会隔了几天回应事件,表示会加强地铁车厂保安,同时做进一步的审查。

  身为公共交通工具的使用者,我们下来关心的不是有关单位有没有加强本地公共交通系统安全措施,或是加强了多少,而是要知道如何确保种种的措施能有效地执行,发挥作用。

  这起事件令不少人对地铁车厂保安程度的美好想象部分幻灭。原来车厂的围栏瞩目地贴着“高电压”警告牌,指的不是围栏本身有高电压,而是车厂内的通电轨道。

  话又说回来,为什么人们凭一张用语含糊的告示牌,便先入为主地认为围栏是通电的?要知道在岛国,可以不可以,黑白分明。至于是不是,则是灰色地带,就像外国很多地方一样。

Food For Thought

吵架与爱情

蓝璐璐

天秤座

  吵架跟爱情有很多相似的地方。上秒钟两人也许还是相安无事各自过着自己的生活,下秒却因某缘故让两段人生有了特殊的交集,从陌生人或朋友变成了敌人或情侣,一样都让人经历跌宕起伏的心情转变,一样不到最后都不知道结局会是甜或苦。

  吵架也像爱情不受时间所约束的。有时候吵架可以是很短暂的,就似迷恋,脑袋被一时的气愤/热情给冲昏了,糊里糊涂见了对方就劈头乱骂/疯狂追求,等到清醒后必定悔恨万分,想还原但已经给对方造成了一定的伤害。幸好这种心理伤疤通常比较浅,随着岁月流逝痕迹也就会渐渐减退了。

  吵架也可以是天长地久,犹如不朽的爱情,一直活在当事人的脑子里,咬啮他们的灵魂,虽痛苦却又解不开、逃不掉。例如我所知道的一对兄弟,本是同根生,但是因为一块父亲遗留下来的土地,两家人互相争夺了很长的一段时间,后来两人偕同其家人从此不再来往,长达五十多年,而其他的兄妹屡次劝架都不果。最近其中一方弟弟去世了,在他的遗嘱内,还记载了他对哥哥的怨恨,并嘱咐家人不允许当事的哥哥到他的灵堂祭拜他。此种吵架真的能以“至死不渝”四个字来形容。

  吵架还有一点像极爱情,就是它不少时候是受到外来因素所引起的。譬如有时情侣或夫妻之间会吵架,是因为受到对方父母或好友的影响,而开始对伴侣起质疑。这就跟一些爱情一样,会爱上对方可能是因为受不了社会与家庭压力,而他碰巧又在适当的时候出现, 所以环境就制造出爱情的假象。在这种情况下的吵架和爱情,主动的一方必须冷静和诚实的问自己,那外来因素真的是很重要吗?若没有了那因素,还会跟伴侣吵架,跟他相爱吗?如果答案是不会,那就应该立即停止吵架和爱情,因为继续下去后果大多会是令人伤心的。

  吵架也有时候是由爱情所导致的。就是太爱对方,太想互相迁就,导致在事情处理上显得优柔寡断,拿不定主意,最后反而使到两人闹得不欢而散。

  最后,与爱情相符,吵架也是可以有好与坏的结局。虽然撕破脸皮的决裂,而过后双方又不能放下身段道歉是个坏结局,但如果通过吵架,双方能够更了解什么事物会挑起对方的喜怒哀乐,两人学习互相容忍和谦让,提防下次再吵架,这就可以说是个好结局了。

saw quite alot of ppl wearing a black top and jeans today..
& im also one of them.. lolz..
kinda feeling lazy so wearing this way so din realise great minds think alike for many others..
thought today is fri ppl going out later so may tend to dress up??


anyway today is the start of e world cup!!!
teams tt i support??
spain & brazil!
argentina n england also okay.. =P
let's hope this yr world cup wont end up like last world cup where all e semi finalists are european teams..
i prefer south america vs europe.. haha

first a 33% pay rise, then followed by another 66% pay rise..
first time heard of such a good deal leh.. lolz..
i guess this is in response to the Foxconn dun-seem-to-be-ending sucide cases ba..

but how far will e pay increment helps to increase the happiness of the workers??

beyond a certain point, monetary rewards is not going to be e solution le as humans hav different types of needs which quite a num of them cant be fulfilled jus by having more money..

& due to my uni major, i cant help but thinking will this leads to exportation of inflation to e rest of e world??

china gains its reputation as the world's factory due to its cheap labour cost..
but with one major co in shenzhen upping e pay, e other co will be pressuried to follow suit in order to retain their respective talents..
this will inevitably increase the cost of production..

will china nw then lose e edge of cheap labour??
guess it depends on e % of labour cost to total production cost n how e co can increase e workers' productivity ba..
maybe it can also 'force' china to move up the value chain of manufacturing??
then does it implies more competition faced by other asia pac countries eg msia, spore??

interesting to see how e impact unfold..

最近找回聼華文歌的感覺。。
有些歌詞就是會打入你的心坎。。

這幾天我的情緒比較平靜, 心也較踏實。。
看來我的腦與我的心已有了一個共識。。


而我也覺得我好像可以說一些道理來安慰人,但在自己的身上仿佛無效。。
是我太理想化, 還是我死腦筋??

Don't let the past hold you back, you are missing on the good stuff..
Life is too short to be little
How can you expect others to love you when you don't love yourself??


還得多加努力。。
要為自己而活,不要介意別人怎麽說,因爲這是我自己的人生。。

鞋到用時方恨少。。

injured my toes when climbing a overhead bridge today n kena scolded by my mum n sis for being so careless.. =(

& seems like e wound is realli veri bad..

so right now other than slippers i realli dunno wat to wear when im stepping out of my hse!!

你对我的好
伊能静

词:伊能静

你对我的好
我竟然都不知道
全都是我的朋友告诉我
我才知道你付出了多少

关于爱
我实在懂得太少
如果你不说
我真的不知道你对我的好
我想我还太小
和你比起来过於浪漫无聊
你像空气给我拥抱但我看不到
所以以为不重要

你对我的好
我怎么会失去才知道
你对我的好
我怎么会听朋友说才知道
你对我的好
我怎么会感觉不到
你对我的好
你对我的好

树木与树人

陈智成

指甲图

  植树之所以难,不在于“该出手就出手”,而在于“该放手就放手”。 

 ——陈智成

  行人道与马路之间通常辟有狭窄的绿带,种上一排小树。刚栽种的时候,都只是一支很细很矮小的树干,长几片绿叶子的树苗。植树人怕它们经不住风吹雨打,贴树干旁给立了一支笔直的钢管,把小树干拴在钢管上,这样一来,树干倚赖着钢管,不单能在风雨中伫立,还能在日渐拔高的成长过程中,保持笔直。

  树干日长日高也日壮,很快的,超过了钢管能护长的范围了。于是,植树人开始在树干周围,撑起了由三支较长的木条,一端交叉地绑在树干较高的部分,另一端外斜入地,形成的一个三脚架。其作用为确保经已过渡了树苗阶段的小树,继续能在风雨中茁壮,而且笔直地成长。一路护卫着小树成长,植树人的费心费力,由此可见。

  那样子,叫我想起幼儿坐在学步车里的情景。幼儿尚未能直立步行时,把他放在学步车里,他累了可以坐下,兴奋起来,脚板轻踩,身子呼噜一声,就前后移动起来。当然最重要的是幼儿在学步车里,很大程度上保障了他的安全,不至于跌伤,大人可以安心袖手。倘若,当幼儿应能直立步行的时候,仍然把他放在学步车里,学步车就从保护,变成他的囹圄了;据称甚至还可能成为他日后不良于行的祸端。

  某日走在行人道,赫然察觉小树虽长高长茂了不少,却显然长歪了。走近观察,原来,护卫着树干的三脚架,因为树长高了,早已被树干提空离地,倒成了小树干成长的累赘了。小树因为三脚架的负荷,自然地往超重的那个方向歪着长,看情形,树干从此要长得正直,已然不易了。想起植树人为了保障树的正直、健康成长,经年累月,费心费力的护长,到头来,因为没及时、适时把三脚架抽离,不单只白耗了一番心血,还造成了适得其反的结果。

  是故,植树之所以难,不在于“该出手就出手”,而在于“该放手就放手”。十年树木,百年树人,树木尚且如此,更何况树人?
