29th November 2007 Thursday

Life is like waiting at a bus stop with a destination in mind but with absolute no idea which service number will take you there. Some people are lucky, made a right guess, hopped on the right bus and got to their desired destination happily. Some people are not as lucky, boarded the wrong bus, made a long detour and ended up at a place totally opposite from that in their dreams. Some others hopped on the next bus that arrives and changed buses at every wrong turn. Some, like me, did nothing but spend a great deal of time waiting at the station, hoping to find some hint of the correct service number, without realising that the right bus has already passed us by.

Which category do you belong to? Will our destinations be common? Will you wait for me if you got there earlier than me? Or will we pass by each other on separate buses leading to separate destinations?

Two parallel lines will never ever cross each other unless they are the same line.

26th November 2007 Monday

Been wanting to blog this since a week ago but have been kinda lazy and busy the past week to do so. Heard this on Yes 93.3FM about a week ago and I liked it very much. It talks about two men who died and met God in Heaven. Having done nothing too evil, the two men were given the chance to reincarnate. In deciding the fate of their future lives, God said this to them - "I have two roles for both of you and each of you must choose one. One role is that of a person who receives. The other is that of a person who gives." Which would you choose?

Not long after God finished, one of men stood up, smiled and said confidently - "I want to be the one who receives". Well, the other man didn't have a choice but to choose the one who gives. That was when God revealed his plans - "The one who chooses to receive shall be a beggar, living on the sympathy of those who give to him for the rest of his life. The one who chooses to give shall be a millionaire, always willing to give to those in need of his help." Having heard that, have you made a right choice?

Often in life, we choose to be on the receiving side, always stingy in giving what we have, sometimes what we have in abundance, sometimes even what we do not need. But is it really that great to be always on the receiving side? Sometimes, happiness lie in those that give willingly. We might not be millionaires and might not always have money or something tangible to give away. We might even be poor in the monetary sense. But what we do have in abundance is love. And love is something that if you wish for it, will never ever run out. Having so much of something that wouldn't ever run out, why are we so stingy in spreading our love? If a smile could brighten someone's day, why are we so unwilling to spread our lips? If a true compliment could make someone smile, why are we so stingy in giving our compliments? If a word of concern could warm a friend's heart, why are we always forgetting mentioning it? Something to think about......

22nd November 2007 Thursday

Saw on newspaper today the following headlines - "Girl strangled to death scores well in PSLE". Somehow such a headline brought several thoughts to mind - Would there be a similar headline if the girl had not scored well? And what if the girl had not scored well? Does it mean that we should feel less over her death? If not, what was the purpose of dictating her scores? For the sake of generation of publicity for the paper? Or for the generation of sympathy amongst the crowd? If for the pure purpose of generation of publicity for the paper, wouldn't the means be downright dispicable? And how would people who knew the girl feel when they pass by the newstands? Well, I don't know. What do you think? Somehow I wonder if the publisher really had the interests of the girl's associate in mind when they published it. And that goes to several headlines in press and media nowadays that seemingly had no meaning except to indicate the dark curiousity and decreasing sensitivity of the human being. Well, I don't know. What do you think?

刚看完静茹在普威里的表演。演唱歌曲是新专辑主打的[崇拜] 。还是很喜欢很喜欢她的歌声。因为那把歌声,我找回了遗忘了好久好久了的感动。突然很期待很期待她的演唱会。又能再一次深深的被感动。又能再一次静静地听着她唱歌。我想那种感觉应该应该可以用快乐来形容吧。应该,因为已经开始不了解快乐的感觉应该是如何的。

风筝有风
海豚有海
我存在在我的存在
自己存在在你之外

16th November 2007 Friday

Been busy the past two weeks. But I guess that is a good sign as being busy keeps your mind off other things. And I guess it leaves you slightly more fulfilled at the end of the day. Gradually getting used to the late hours of audit. I guess maybe having no life to begin with helps in the getting used process. Haha. Guess my colleagues would be laughing at the last sentence if they were reading this. But well, at least I know I didn't have much of a life k? At least I have self knowledge. Haha. But then again, what would you define as having a life?

Teambuilding event tomorrow. I hope it goes well....

11th November 2007 Sunday

Believe that as a whole, you never ever lose anything in life. Believe that for each and everything that you lose, you gain in some other way. Be it a lesson learnt, a debt repaid or some other inexplicable way, you gain something whenever you lose something. Even if you don't, always remember that you came to this world with nothing to begin with. So you could never lose anything. Because you had none to begin with. Well, maybe I am not making sense. But I meant to say was - "Always look on the brighter side of things. Even if they don't make any sense, it helps to make you feel better. What you lose will never ever come back to you just because you remain upset over the fact that you lose it."

10th November 2007 Saturday

Finally came face to face with my email pal today. Can't imagine how one silly mistake made by me could actually gain me a friend. And I guess the most amazing part is how we ended up in the same firm when we were like worlds apart when we started emailing. How time flies now I think back to the days when I first emailed this email pal. Still felt kind of awkward coming face to face with someone I have been communicating online for years. But I guess the overall experience was pleasant though I felt a little out of place here and there. Isn't it amazing how little mistakes you make here and there could create ripples over your life and others and change it from what it could have been?

And speaking about how time flies, I am back to the same advertising firm for audit yet again. And the people just seems to get friendlier and friendlier each time I come. Well, I sure hope it remains this way even under the stress of accounts closing when audit finals comes in January. Oh and the engagement team was good too. I enjoyed working with them even though I kept mentioning about a certain terrorist in my team. So if the terrorist is reading it now, I said you are nice to work with k? Cannot say I bully you already k? Yawn. Time to sleep. Need to recharge. Housework and CD day tomorrow! I hope the album I am waiting for will be waiting for me when I go to the CD shops tomorrow. =)

4th November 2007 Sunday

有时候等待很美,但有时候等待很伤,因为人在等待的时候总会麻木,只记得等待什么,而忘了自己不擅长等待。
所以痴,所以伤,所以痛。

藤井树---[这城市]

那如果连等待什么也忘了。
那又会是怎样的一种痴,怎样的一种伤,怎样的一种痛?
西雅图真的年年都有两百八十三个雨天吗?

3rd November 2007 Saturday

那天看了光良新歌的MV。就跟以往光良的MV一样。很有感觉但又带点伤感。很喜欢这首歌。有那么点甜又有那么点伤感。很喜欢很喜欢。光良新专辑将与梁静茹的新专辑同日发行。11月9日。请多多支持。

明天我们要暂时分离
电话中你不舍的语气
你说可不可以
放你的心在行李
跟着我飞行
我们就可以永远不分离

每天要听一次我爱你
你说这样会感觉贴心
如果说我离去
你的心会下起雨
啊天使不回
整个世界少了空气

把你抱在怀里
我们没有言语
感觉离别前两颗心在一起
我们抱在怀里
我们不想言语
今天以后留下回忆
我们可以温习
我爱你
不言语
这一刻天在哭泣

离别那天你为我送行
说好我们不难过伤心
你说可不可以
一路握你的手心
躺在我怀里
这样才能感觉你的呼吸

站在离境门前那决定
脸上你舍不得的表情
如果说我可以
用全宇宙的魔力
让时间暂停
让我们可以不分离

把你抱在怀里
我们没有言语
感觉离别前两颗心在一起
我们抱在怀里
我们不想言语
今天以后留下回忆
我们可以温习
我爱你
不言语
这一刻天在哭泣
我爱你
不放弃
这一刻不想分离
不会分离
不会分离
不会分离

光良---[不会分离]

1st November 2007 Thursday

雨季。一个让人容易觉得感伤的季节。
雨水回应了流不出的泪水。
寒风衬托出了心里的疲惫。
伞遮掩了应有的坚强。

我喜欢雨季。
即使是一个人的雨季。
即使是没有你的雨季。
