... 情爲何物??...

這陣子發生了許多事情。。 分手,死亡,背叛,覺悟。每件事的發生都爲了一個理由-情。情真的會使我們不知所措。人也往往會因爲固執而一錯再錯。

我只是希望執迷不悟的人會覺悟, 傷心的人會振作。就這麽簡單何必把它複雜化呢?雖然我了解說的比做的來得容易。。

也許這一生我們就是這樣過的吧!

突然很想唱這首歌:

手放开

我把自己关起来只留下一个阳台

每当天黑推开城门对着夜幕发呆

看着往事 一幕一幕 再次演出你我的爱

我把电视机打开听着别人的对白

也许那些故事可以给我一个交代

你要的爱 我学不来 眼睁睁看情变坏

眼睁睁看情感慨

不能给你未来 我还你现在

安静结束也是另一种对待 当眼泪留下来

伤已超载 分开也是另一种明白

我给你最后的疼爱是手放开

不要一张双人床中间隔着一片海

感情的污点就留给时间慢慢漂白

把爱收进胸前左边口袋 最后的疼爱是手放开

不想用言语拉扯所以选择不责怪

感情就像候车月台 有人走有人来

我的心是一个站牌 写着等待

不能给你未来 我还你现在

安静结束也是另一种对待 当眼泪留下来

伤已超载 分开也是另一种明白

... appraisal & resignation ...

Taken from my friend who send me this.. guess it's quite true after all.. hehe..

A newly joined trainee engineer asks his boss "what is the meaning of appraisal?"

Boss: "Do you know the meaning of resignation?"

Trainee: "Yes I do" Boss:

"So let me make you understand what an appraisal is by comparing it with resignation"

Comparison study: Appraisal and Resignation

Appraisal

In an appraisal meeting they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.

During an appraisal you may need to cry and beg for even a 10% pay hike.

During an appraisal, they will deny promotion saying that you did not meet the expectation, you don't have leadership qualities, and that you had several drawbacks in reaching objective/goal.

There is a 90% chance of not getting any significant incentives after appraisal.

Resignation

In a resignation meeting they will speak only about your strengths, past achievements and success.

In a resignation meeting you can easily demand (or get more without asking) more than 50-60% hike!

During resignation, they'll say you are the core mbr of the team; you are the vision of the company & so "how can you go"; you have to take the project on your shoulders and lead your juniors to success.

There is a 90% chance of getting an immediate pay hike after you put in your resignation.

Trainee: "Yes boss enough, now I understood my future. For an appraisal I will have to resign

COMMANDMENT 1

Marriages are made in heaven. But so are thunder and lightning.

COMMANDMENT 2

If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

COMMANDMENT 3

Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand!

COMMANDMENT 4

Married life is very frustrating.In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.

In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.

In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

COMMANDMENT 5

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing:

Either the car is new or the wife is.

COMMANDMENT 6

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one;

The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

COMMANDMENT 7

Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say.

After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

COMMANDMENT 8

Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook.

But the law allows only one wife.

COMMANDMENT 9

Marriage and love are purely matters of chemistry.

That is why wife treats husband like toxic waste.

COMMANDMENT 10

A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished..

... 友情的心有灵犀一点通 ...

During our life path, we make many great friends... they come and go... those who stand by your side when you are in trouble... while others may slowly fade out from your circle. Those that stay may be what we call close or best friends. Or do you really know what are they thinking sometimes?

The amazing thing about our so-called 'best/close friends' is when this friend knows what to do or think without you saying it out… just by observing your action is good enough to plan the next course of action. This is the type of friends that you should really treasure.

I just 'witness' this among two of my friends today (actually not the first time already). One of my girl-friend was feeling down and I didn't even notice it during our last Saturday outing. This morning, our common guy-friend messaged and tells me we should go out more often with her more... So, I make arrangements... Didn't tell her who else I'm meeting but a while later, she 'warned' me that she knew me and this guy-friend ganged up! Also, don't give her any surprise can liao... Wow! 心有灵犀一点通 or should I call it the power of friendship!!

Sad to say, I'm a gal who is never sensitive to my friends' behaviors. Do I consider myself unmoving when it comes to friendship? Or should I call myself a failure in the name of friendship? hhmmm… guess it's time for some soul searching... Hey friend, though I don't know what's the problem you are facing or why are you sad... just remember, I'm always a good listening ear even though I may be insensitive... Just call me if you need someone to talk to ok? And hope you can cheer yourself up after tonight's arrangement!!

... pulau ubin expedition ...

Pulau Ubin changes tremendously since the last time I stepped foot there... eh, about 10 over years?!?! Those places I been to were more accessible by vehicles now... whether it’s on car, bicycle or foot... still, I guess foot is the best as you could really admire the scenery around you.

Last night was a bit humid and quiet.. the insects were screeching rhythmically sometime, making you feel like you are listening to a orchestra… could easily imagine in the daytime, this lovely little island would be much beautiful! This is one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve been to with SPI. We also explore some place which I didn’t know about! Like the little temple that the Ubin residents built for this German girl who passed away in WWI. It’s a sad story and till today nobody knows the identity of this pitiful girl.

There’s also a Chinese and Malay cemetery in this island too! And from the tombstones I saw, guess there’s mostly Cantonese living on the island.

Memories flow back to my camping days where the rubber plantation were one of the popular sites for campers as it overlook the beach.. Remember on our night walk, one of my instructor was sitting quietly at one spot on a slope like a “大伯公”. Trying to scare some of us huh?? However, that was one nice walks around the island. Thanks all the elites who have make this trip an enjoyable and fun one!!

... my love story ...

There's an old email about love story which was circulating last time. A girl asked a guy to be her boyfriend for 100days. They have their great days together and on the 99days he met with an accident and unfortunately he died on the 100th day... it was kind of sad but prone me to wonder if this type of love story exist in our world... personally, I believe there is.

Love can happen anytime anywhere! Everyone has theirs; similarly, I had a 刻苦銘心 story too which I still remember it until today...

It happened in September 1995. I was supposed to meet a friend of mine for some drinking session. We supposed to meet outside the pub and as usual, I'm early.

Time tickles away and my friend was not in sight. Suddenly, I saw a similar face from afar. Shit! I secretly cursed myself for not able to avoid him as after I graduated, the last thing I want is to run into old schoolmates.

Well, since he spotted me standing there and has started to approach me, I have no choice but to say hi to him. Found out that the pub is one of his regular hangouts. He was so delighted to see me and insisted to give me a treat at a nearby Denny's restaurant.

After dinner, we actually walked home from Orchard to my place... that's how I started my 4hours walk the first time. It was a wonderful night, the stars were shining brightly and it was a cool night.

Since that day, we started to go out occasionally... Memories flow back to our school days when I had rejected him once... hehe.. Therefore, I was shocked and taken by surprise after 7yrs; his heart still beats for me... From then on, I think I'm the luckiest gal in the world.

He showers me with lots of love and there's always one thing I'll never forget, he understood me inside out... Without question asked, he will know what's my next action is... Of course, like some couples, we had our arguments too... it was very frequent... but that's how we grew closer after each fight...

Sadly, this relationship ended after 2years due to his betrayal... No, he didn't have another woman but it was another matter that a betrayal could harm me more...

Since then, I had been searching for another better man... Wishing that the next man I meet will be better than him if not at least the same... Ironically, I didn't meet any... is it true that once u pick a bad guy, the next one will be worse? I'm not sure but it seems so true to me... Or is it me afraid of getting hurt again??

... four all who reed (read) and right (write) ...

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men, why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those, yet hat in the plural would never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose. We speak of a brother and also of brethren, but though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

Let's face it! - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England . We take English for granted.

But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

If Dad is Pop, how's come Mom isn't Mop?

AUTHOR UNKNOWN or is it KNOT KNOWN?

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job. 2. It is important that a man makes you laugh. 3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you. 4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you. 5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

... birthday with friends ...

I had not been celebrating my birthday since 21yrs old.. always feel that birthday is just another ordinary day. Not until last night, I realised that birthday can turn out to be a memorable one if you celebrate with the right person and/or people. Venue is not an issue, atmosphere is more important.. not necessary to be a grand dinner at a posh restaurant; you may be contended even at home with home cooked food.. if the right person/people is there..

For me, yesterday shall be a day which I will remember forever (if my memory didn't fail me then.. 8) ) I went for a SPI talk at Asian Civilization Museum at Empress Place. The talk ended at 8pm and we proceed to McDonald for our dinner.

Upon reaching there, I noticed some of them were behaving very strange & fishy (imagine a few of them keep insisting i sit back-facing the staircase) though i speculate a birthday cake will pop out from nowhere somehow.. but it was more than what i expected! My sister and her colleague had join in the celebration together with my SPI friends!

Most touching was, they bought me the Disney Chip and Dale! Of course, not forgetting a Hello Kitty mini cake.. and i manage to cut it into 11 pieces so everyone could have one bite.. (pardon me for the cutting skill, friends.. hehe.. though i know the cake look kind of gross in the end..) Also, the 'lovely' birthday card they give me.. (auntie liao rite??)

P/S: To All of you who attended the mini celebration - THANK YOU SO MUCH! All of you make my day!! you know who you are huh?? :)

... friends ...

My best friend called me this morning and check about my flight tomorrow.. she asked me if I have informed any other people except her..

一言惊醒梦中人... how many real friends do I have? It seems like whenever I'm away, be it for holiday or business (so far only once lah.. hehe) I never have any friends to send me off at the airport.. Partly, I never wanted any 'teary' scene created.

How do we actually measure the basis of friendship? Do you take in consideration those friends that claim to be one but ran away when you're in trouble? Or those who promised to keep in touch but just keep your number conveniently into their handphone as though to fill up the phone memory?

As we walk down our life path slowly, people may switch from acquaintances to friends; we may also lost some and gain some friends but how many of them actually stand by your side when you really need to confide in them to overcome your worst problems?

So, start being a more spontaneous and supportive friend of your friend today!

... ponder about ~~ CANCER ...

Got this article and it seems everyone of us may be at risk to this.. so, why not take a few moments and hope it could saves someone around you!

Useful Information on one of the deadliest diseases of our time: CANCER

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts)and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the caner cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence,Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
