in e end still end up going to HK next mth..
agreed to 2 trips in 3 days~~
i must be out of my mind....

& right now with PAP introducing new candidates, right now e focus is on e 27 year old Ms Tin..
wat i cant help noticing is how e media emphasizes on her marriage.
from e feminist point of view, why shd a woman be linked to her man? why can't women be independent successful parties?? surely there are other things to focus on...
from e cynical point of view, is that how she got in?? why marry such an older guy??
she is about my age & i can't imagine being with a 40 yo man..
6 years older & i can alr feel some existing gap, what more is double of tt difference??
will i support her??
some of her comments are rather facepalm leh..

showing e worth before moving to parliament or going to parliament to prove e worth?? hmmm


another thing which i notice abt e candidates is how quite a number of them tend to emphasize that they came from humble backgrounds...
trying to connect to e ground??
& so what if they are not born with a silver spoon when they are born/while growing up??
most singaporeans are anyway, what's so special??
& there is also this term call 忘本。。。。


somehow my cynical mind is at work again & think tt e more one emphasises on a particular aspect, e more ulterior motive one has...

& her response is 'oh, then he must be rather handsome!'
hmm i know middle eastern women are pretty but not really so for guys..

well, i hav nothing to complain abt Dear.. happily attached (^^,)
& Dear is transferring to e dept he wanna go soon..
happy for him & also one step closer to him relocating to sg =)

& of course not forgetting the $1 mil donation by a 24yo gurl!!

Food For Thought

地撼心不乱

黄向京

咖啡座

可这一切镜头都不比日本全民地撼心不乱、冷静从容以对的心貌来得令人动容——这样一个美丽的日本,又怎么会沉没呢?

  逃过2004年斯里兰卡的南亚海啸,上周又在东京逃过大地震海啸的台湾朋友,对日本人的印象全面改观了——日本全民在巨大灾难发生后,体现了处变不惊,互相帮忙和遵守秩序的精神。

  旅居东京的朋友亲睹:事情发生没多久,所有大楼开放给不能搭地铁回家的民众避难过夜,便利商店免费供水与热汤。每个走在街上的人都安安静静的。另外,日本媒体报道不煽情,关于灾难信息即时又清楚,而且日韩中英葡语皆有,真是先进大国,令她佩服。

  英国《金融时报》中文网专栏作家加藤嘉一也碰上了,《日本地震那天的经历》一文带出日本人从小学到高中都要接受12年防震灾训练,具备充分知识与心理准备,防患于未然,才能临危不乱。这包括:逃出大厦前先关掉电源与瓦斯以防火灾;随时准备逃生背包;戴安全帽逃生等等。

  他说:“在这样无法取得联系,无法坐上交通车,许多道路都被关闭的严峻情况下,没有人抱怨,安安静静地走路,大家走得相当默契,没有乱,只有完美的秩序。地乱了,心却不乱。硬件失控了,软件依然平静。”

  旅居中国,到东京出差的加藤嘉一回到下榻的酒店,发现大厅变成人海,没能回家的居民到酒店避冷,酒店也没拒绝。“这是紧急情况,不在乎这里是谁的,大家一起携手共同渡过难关。”这是大都会东京少见的一面,令他倍感温馨。

  雪山崩裂,一条完整的铁道还悬挂半空。日本地震预警机制世界一流,东京等城市建筑抗震安然无恙,没有豆腐渣工程。是地震引发的海啸雷霆万钧,卷走机场房屋车辆,一些沿岸市镇几被淹没。核电厂爆炸后核泄漏与辐射的巨大阴影严重笼罩。上百万灾民还活在无水无电等待援救中。

  可这一切镜头都不比日本全民地撼心不乱、冷静从容以对的心貌来得令人动容——没有慌逃,没有插队打架,没有趁火打劫,没有抱怨指责,没有发灾难财,没有灾后垃圾;有的是全民团结,守秩序纪律,合作帮忙;有的是免费毯子伙食住宿——这样一个美丽的日本,又怎么会沉没呢?

灾难面前的社会组织能力和默契程度,反映一个国家的内在实力,也最能考验人心人性。而日本人在这次9级地震海啸中展现如此高素质的国民教养,令不少人(尤 其是华人社会)不由赞叹。要知硬件易造,软件难铸,人民的心理内在素质才是一国之本、一民之魂,日本人如此文明优秀的民族性的展现,让我们上了宝贵的一堂 课。

  网上有评论说,这样一种从容不迫有条不紊的素养并不是天上掉下来的,而是一个自然灾难不断的民族,经历过一代代人的积累,悲剧危机意识已内化,并将之转化为精益求精、一丝不苟,尽人事听天命的民族精神人格。

  对于自然灾难仿佛很遥远的新加坡来说,万一有一天我们要面对这样的浩劫,实在难以想象会呈现怎样的一种心象。

spore elections is coming up real soon...
good, then wont clash with my travel plans.. =P

then e pandas tt to sg next year are coming hav new names - Kai Kai (凱凱)& Jia Jia (嘉嘉)
hmm im fine with Jia Jia but find it abit weird with Kai Kai leh..
perhaps this name doesnt sound as smooth??

& can i hav a greater variety of news, esp good news??
Tuesday, March 15, 2011

for the past week or so, e unrest in Libya has been hogging the headlines until im getting immune to it & hoping to see other news..
right now i dunno shd i blame my mind for having such thoughts & which news i prefer to see


when e earthquake strikes in japan, i never thought it will hav tt devastating effect for japan..
cos e japanese has been well equipped with tt sense of danger since e big one in 1923 & tt Tokyo is actualli quite far from the epicentre..
but apparently, as it has shown again, e power of water is actualli more deadly than jus mere earthquake..
& right now the nuclear situation is getting from bad to worse
真是人算不如天算
even with preparation, at times humans jus cant defy/at e mercy of nature...
its tragic to see even a wealthy nation such as Japan being on e verge of being brought down to her knees with transportation disrupted, food contaminated, no or little electricity + water after e strike of a natural disaster...
有時不禁會想人生即然這麽無常,那爲何人卻不懂得為自己而活?


& cos of this, my much anticipated trip has to be cancelled..
or at least postponed to next year this time round ='(
perhaps in e first place i shdnt hav my hopes high..
e higher e expectation, e higher e disappointment/sadness...
haiz....


& japan, pls pls dun hav any more quakes tt will destory ur beautiful places...
i wanna see them all but unfortunately tohuku has to suffer such a fate

最難受總是在說再見的那一刻。。。。
但無論多麽不捨, 還是得回到現實中。。。

過去這幾天下來的相處, 覺得我們真的很合拍
而這些快樂的時光,加深了我對你的感情, 對你的依戀。。

愛情無界限,我現在才有較深刻的體會。。。
超感謝緣分把原本在平行綫的我們有了交叉點

而且這是我第一次在一個男人身邊感覺既幸福又滿足, 超有安全感
難道你就是我那個對的人??

Food For Thought



吴韦材
自聊室

  人生没得算。也因此无谓盲赶。年年岁末,人究竟用什么来衡量自己卖出去的和收回来的?

  只是随意想到。那些想出“时光”、“光阴”、“光景”等词句的人,或真的就曾经凝神定定地凝视过某个光源。而且准是凝视良久,那样才能看到时间如何缓缓在光线里弥漫散开——或又如何缓缓凝聚的状态。

  啊没事,不属危险动作。无妨试试。

  要试小孩有没悟性,带他们到个有烛光或有弱小光源的地方,将四处亮度逐渐调低,看有哪些小孩会默默凝视光源。

  这是个浮一大白的实验。有些人就算在心如白纸的幼小年纪,就已有能力感觉到自己内里某处有个心灵所在——他或许啥都还不明白,但心里有处地方极其敏感。

  这举动很傻?怎会呢?人生不就是不断收集各类体会吗?凝视一个光源,少年时我就常这么做。中学露营,夜里我就爱坐在沙滩的营火旁傻傻的看。啊灯泡,我也一样爱看。

  记得旧时祖父店铺楼梯上那盏灯,为省电,至多5火,我也常坐在那里眼定定地看。年纪小,没心机,就是想看灯泡里干吗会亮起来?里头怎会如此热闹?边看边脑袋里就浮叠许多幻想。也有人说,这样傻傻盯住一个光源,尤其把心思看进光的最亮点上,会很容易进入催眠状态。呵呵,难怪旧时情人拍拖都去看月亮。但看月亮我总觉得有点远了,除非到太平洋上的瞭望台观看,不然看月亮这事,颈椎太久会累,散光太深不宜。我倒喜欢靠近一点的,因为看光源之际,是要跟这个光源沟通的。比如围栏外的停车场街灯,夜深人静,那还可以。这回在伦敦,某深夜某盏在数十年前住过那条街上的一盏街灯,久别重逢,像重遇故人,也挺有感觉。烛光?以前是看的,但烛光太会说故事了,这把年纪,那么浮浮楚楚、颤抖摇晃的故事还是少听点好。当然,最有感觉还是自己床边那盏床头灯,我与它一直长相厮守,这片范围不大却默默厮守的光,完全明白我心里的事,我俩那么熟悉,每天,每月,每年,这片光就在我的时间里,而我所有回到自己内心的时间,也都在它的光线里——假如有福气的话,那最大的福气或许就是最后一天我能在它身边从此阖上双眼。

  光透射到人的感受里去,感受就是活过的时间。就是。

而无论时间是长,是短,无论是留恋、是熟悉、是温暖过的,全都是一片片曾经浮现过的光。
  看住光,能够看到这点,一切也就全然透明了。

  如今又到岁末,倒真想好好重新设计一下室内采光。桌子换个方向。窗帘或许换个厚度。稍稍移动站灯,方向改变一下,风景换个角度——在办公室天天照旧还得乘上N年的人们,岁末至少换盏桌灯吧?别让日子每天连影子都同个模样。

  人生没得算。也因此无谓盲赶。年年岁末,人究竟用什么来衡量自己卖出去的和收回来的?

  什么“一寸光阴一寸金”?请别如此随便大减价。我身边这时每分每秒每时每刻能睁开眼看到的,皆专属自己光景,没标价也不能标价,我会找我自己喜欢的光源并随之向往。只有在我感觉舒服的光景下我才会待久一些。一寸金?阁下自己留着用。

  连植物,是的就连植物都懂得找一片属于自己的光。

  说大自然无边神奇,不如说自然处处存着一份感悟力量。

  做人能做到泰然地活着,能确切感受到生命中的每一轮光景,并且能感觉到自己的时光时时刻刻就在自己身边,那就是真真切切地活着了。

  试试。没有太迟这回事。

Musical Monday




one of e few eng songs tt caught my ears nowadays..



Love the way you lie
Eminem Ft Rihanna


Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down


Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie

Food For Thought

地球人的宿命

丹女

山外山

笔心

  只要人摆脱不了这样的感受,这样的贪婪,这样的好强好胜,人就永远没办法创造一个潘朵拉。  ——丹女

  在电影Avatar 里,地球人到外太空去,找到一个完美世界。这颗星球上的一切生物都比地球上的更具生命力,都在大自然母亲的生态网里和谐并存着,用与生俱来的天赋保护着这颗叫做潘朵拉的星球。

  那里的“人类”没像地球人那样长成头大身小或脑满肠肥,他们在自然界里和野兽一同奔跑,骑巨鸟在天空翱翔,在荧光粼粼的水池里游泳;他们利用大自然的力量治愈疾病,族人信奉古老宗教并以其来解决纷争……那大概是导演心目中的天堂,也是许多人梦想中的世外桃源。

  于是出现了“Avatar后遗症”,有地球同胞深深被潘朵拉星球吸引,对现实感到沮丧忧郁。

   其实仔细想想,只要人有“智慧”,有七情六欲,这个宇宙大概就不可能存在潘朵拉。想象自己活在大自然还尚未被破坏的远古时代吧,看到朋友抓的野兽比自己 的大,看到朋友栽种的果菜比自己的收成好,看到朋友的老婆比自己的漂亮……会羡慕吗?会嫉妒吗?心里会不平衡吗?应该没有几个人会无动于衷吧。

   只要人摆脱不了这样的感受,这样的贪婪,这样的好强好胜,人就永远没办法创造一个潘朵拉。因为任何一个聪明一点的人,就会想拥有比别人更多的资源,认为 自己出类拔萃所以应该教别人怎么做。这样的人身边必定出现追随者,出现因为想为自己取得更多资源,而攀附在领袖身上的人。可以想象,一切和地球人有关的制 度、组织,一切文明,一切让人类快乐和不快乐的生活方式,包括一切对资源的持续抢夺就会不可避免的发生。这是地球人的宿命。

  除非人没有 这样的“智慧”,除非人没有这样复杂的七情六欲。但是,在这个稍稍不懂得隐藏自己真正情绪,直接一点或坦白一点,就会被扣上“企图挑战权威”“不会做人” 等等帽子的世界;在这个反应慢一点,跟风迟一点,就会被当作智力不如人,不合群的社会;又有谁愿意“傻蛋”一点,谁愿意对七情六欲理解得少一点呢?

缺少善良和单纯,哪来潘朵拉?我们都是弱肉强食,想要拥有越多越好的地球人。自以为善良,当面对较为弱小的同类,却争先恐后地往高处爬,几个人有空闲停下脚步听别人的心声难处,谁又有心思去理解对方的心里话。更不要说地球的心里话了。

  缺少善良和单纯,我们地球人也就只能够这样子继续苟且活着吧。这是我们的宿命。  (传自香港)
