It is now less than two hours is left before 2011 comes to an end.
I have been prompted by an inexplicable urge to inject some life into this blog of MINE!
—-now sure why the laziness in the past half year….
Just like to wish everyone a VERY
HEALTHY
2012!
…and
Gain better shape
Get salary rises
Pass any exams you take
Go somewhere you want
Be showed with lots of love
…
I’m exhausted of well wishes so fast! What else can one ask for?
For me, I would just be grateful if things stay the same as 2011. I cannot ask for more
生死有命

哈哈,想不到啊
我也有这一天……
基于好死不如赖活着的革命原则,
还是忍小谋大,青山常在的要紧。
从今往后

戒炸,戒辣,戒腌,戒酒,
戒炒,戒闹,戒椒,戒燥了!!!!

- Haruki Murakami
Read it again today.
Started reading this quiet lonely Sunday afternoon, in peaceful music just bought yesterday from the bazaar downstairs my office. I thought I should read more famous books. But 1/3 through it, I realise I might have read it before. Some paragraphs really look familiar so much so that I could guess what happened straight after. In any case, still managed to finish it cover to cover.
Had no deep impression of the story otherwise, just like most other books I have read.
Upon finishing reading, still did not find out why it’s lauded as one of the greatest books in the modern times. Except it makes me feel down. It makes you feel a stone sitting on your heart, hard to breathe.
Perhaps it is Japanese style depression. Everyone is brought up to please everyone and pretend everything is fine. Their only goal since they are born is to be the best child in the world, do well in everything and be a perfect man/woman for the rest of their lives. They do not talk about the real problems in their lives. Big problems would only grow bigger and they would not share with anyone. Only outlet is to end their lives, or to get crazy, or to let go and live each day as the last day. Those who do not live by this law…only live in novels?
Every culture may have its own strength and weakness. There is no way to judge who is better or worse, just like how incapable I am to link the vulnerability with the strength and endurance Japanese exhibited during Tohoku.
In any case, I spent a quiet peaceful afternoon perfectly conducive for studying on chewing on snacks, reading difficult novels and missing you.
Is he into you?

in my theory
After hearing so many stories, as well as the movie He’s Just Not That Into You (I know it is a very old one), I cannot help posting something here…
If he is into you,
- why would he always wait for you to ask him out?
- why does he never take initiative to send you any sms?
- why does he make you wait for him but not giving you a timeline?
- why are you the only one making the effort to keep in contact?
- why don’t you know when he is out of town?
- why are there so many things more important than spending time with you?
- why would he still spend weekend nights with other girls?
- why are you still stuck at your friendship after going out so many times?
- why would he keep you guessing?
- why does he pretend not to know how you feel?
You deserve someone better than that. You know it:)
我的邻居

in Uncategorized, 心血来潮
许久不见她, 竟然听到了她换了电话号码并回国休假两个月—-她的母亲罹患癌症的消息,真令我一时之间回不过来神……
1 初次见面
我和小俤从国大宿舍搬来这个小小的院落,虽然步行只需10分钟,为了一次搞定,仍然租了一辆车。 去国怀乡, 读书多年, 虽不曾攒下很多书,衣物包包和杂七杂八,也满满装了大箱小箱。进得院中,请搬运的工人将我们行李放在宿舍门外的墙边,就因为男士不方便入内的原因,请他们先离开了。
舍监的电话打不通。我们没有钥匙,只好边在门外等,边透过窗户张望,看有没有人可以帮我们开门。刚巧一位穿白色睡裙的女孩出现在视线内,我们便向她打招呼。听到是标准的华语口音,更觉亲切。不料她警觉性不小,问我们要搬向哪个房间,我们也懵了,说不出个所以然。“为了安全起见”,我们不能被放进去,只好站在门外。她很善良的提出要帮我们搬个凳子坐在外面,我们很不好意思地拒绝了。所幸不久以后,大概十点左右,舍监回来,帮我们开门,给我们钥匙。大家各自休息,相安无事。
住得久了,极少碰到那扇门在午夜前上锁的。不敢对安全条令有所藐视,只是觉得那女孩未免太严厉了,令人生畏。
2 一起跑步
入住很久以后,心里的阴影才渐渐淡去,开始跟女孩搭讪。在客厅厨房碰到的她似乎总穿了橙色加蓝色花纹的长睡裙,在从冰箱取食物出来烧菜,很长的头发盘得很高。现在回想她的身影,也最先想到这个画面。她的爱好除了吃大概就是看电影。如果我哪天熬夜,凌晨两点还亮着灯的房间,估计就只有她了。
我那一阵子很有兴致锻炼身体,每星期都有三四次的穿球鞋走路,甚至跑步。住在学校隔壁的好处,正是可以随时走去操场跑两圈。记得最高纪录能不停地跑七、八圈—-虽然是很慢很慢的,但对曾经体育成绩全班倒数的我来说,是多么了不起的一件事!那时刚开始工作不久,每天压力不大,很有热情的鼓动宿舍的其他女孩子一起锻炼。她们自然都热烈响应—-不过大都是口头的。舍监她老人家,每次看到我都嚷着要我带她去跑步,可每次叫她从来都是没空的。只有她,还真的上阵了。
身高与我相仿的她,看似白白胖胖,如果真的动起手来,估计俩我都不是个儿。她说起从前的运动历史,口若悬河。她的胳膊看起来比我肥,我捏一捏,却是硬得捏不动。我们一起走到学校的操场,然后基本上是我走她跑。(七、八圈乃是后话,暂且不提)而且边跑还边谈笑风生,我却走得气喘吁吁!
一来二去,我们熟了。我向她借了宫崎峻的全集。她请我观赏刚收拾好的房间—-窄窄的衣柜里,塞满了卷成一样长度的衣服!那场面令人震撼,为了先把衣服折成一样长度,她特地找来硬纸板,果然是我们本科生所不能及。
她说话的音调高,常在淋浴房高歌一曲(也可能是受了俺的渲染)。也常听见她叽叽喳喳操着方言打着电话开门进房的声音,更在半夜被她的打老鼠声音惊醒,并伴随了长达五秒的尖叫无法入眠。谈天中得知她是双鱼座,令白羊座的我再次推翻对星座的所有笃信。人的外表不可与内心等同,我也一直在说服自己这一点。
3 蔬菜批发市场
关系最友好的那些日子,她很友善的要我一同去附近那间蔬菜批发市场。据说是新加坡最大的之类。我没什么要买的,但那害了猫的好奇心还是驱使了我。
号称常去那里的她,以一身新购置的紧身短打装扮出现在我面前。我怎么看也不觉得是她所称的运动衣,倒像是有儿童般花纹的性感睡衣。至少我是不会买的,也穿不出门。和她这样在半夜里走到那市场,我的心始终提在嗓子眼,在她兴高采烈的高谈阔论中,不时走神,琢磨要如何对付突然扑过来的色伯伯。还好是多虑。走到一半,她才说,哦对了,当年沸沸扬扬的黄娜事件,就是与这市场有关。我心头一战,退堂鼓也没处打了。
到达那庞大的蔬菜水果批发市场,天已经黑得很透很透。也许是远离市中心,路灯没那么多,路人和车辆更少。晚风吹来的寒意,足够让我打几个寒颤。一眼望不到边的摊位,头顶是硕大的顶棚。并没有正式的排档,而只是散乱堆起来的各类蔬菜,水果,麻袋,纵里留了几条长长的走道。整理摊位的小贩们中间极少是女性。他们三三两两,大都打了赤膊,准备将那如山的新鲜蔬果,天亮前赶着搬上卡车运向全岛各地的零售商。虽然是不轻的体力活,但伴随着夜幕,大家都各忙各的,很安静。叽叽喳喳的谈笑声,随即显得尤为突兀,引来很多好奇的目光。
天晓得那条没有尽头的过道我们走了多久,时而伴随了一些价格的询问,和对一些从未见过的蔬菜的观赏。只记得终于出来时长吁的一口气,才知道口渴了。碰巧有食摊,卖豆浆的还开,遂一人一杯,打道回府。并接受一程女性喝什么吃什么有益健康的深刻教育。
此后任是她怎么说要我再陪她去,宁死不从。
4 口角
有些人,是注定不能距离太近的。近了必然要爆发致命的火花。
我从不善于与人发生冲突。但那一次的小小肥皂盒却成了导火索。我和另一位舍友在墙外说话,完全不隔音的墙就成了无辜的叛徒。忘不了她开门时满面的横肉,过去数月来的友善化为乌有,我之后的几天试图和好的hello也尽数石沉大海。好吧,小妹我也不是省油的灯,不出一周,两人形同陌路。
其间一次也许是她想和好,我却反映缓慢,导致邻居关系冰封至今。那日我戴了耳机,在客厅弹那台比我还要老的电子钢琴。她也在旁边和另一看电视的舍友聊天。之前她也试图过要直接现场k歌《大海》,但由于小的琴艺欠佳,未能k得畅快。这次她从远方飘了过来,想是要表示乐意重修旧好,不料小的琴艺欠佳到了无法边弹琴边聊家常的地步,实实令人发指。于是10秒的“我听我弹她看却听不到”的尴尬场景一过,她又飘走了,以示从今往后一刀两断的决心。
果真至今数月有余,未曾听见她对我说过一个字。有时突然推门看到她,没时间反映而脱口而出一个hi,迎接我的仍然一张冷若冰山的面孔,表示未曾听到。
5 母亲
过年时她的母亲来住了一整个月。并不像我娘那么爱跟我挤,她的母亲另住了一间房。每天早上起来很早,穿了运动鞋出去锻炼,回来就在厨房忙碌。但感觉母女二人不是24小时那么甜蜜。她早上8,9点才起身,晚上仍然很晚才睡。晚上大多数时候,她的房间传出的不是母女的欢声笑语,而仍是电影里陌生的声音在用英语对话。
时而听到似带了脾气和母亲对话的她,语气还是那么尖锐和急促,和常听到她讲电话的声音如出一辙。母亲却总是很低缓的声音回答。身材要娇小很多的她,总要安抚易怒的女儿。让我想起功夫盼大的瘦小爹。如果能像功夫盼大那么孝顺爹,该有多好。
一起跑步的时候曾听她提起自己过世的父亲。觉得母女二人相依为命真是不容易,我简直无法想象她们是怎么过来的。她来到新加坡以后,母亲一个人又是怎么度过的这些日子。许久不见她,给她发简讯也没有回复。想不到交房租时从舍监口中得知了这样的消息,在我听来都如晴天霹雳,不知道对她的打击会有多大,更无法想象她今后的日子又将怎样度过。
你的样子

我听到传来的谁的声音
象那梦里呜咽中的小河
我看到远去的谁的步伐
遮住告别时哀伤的眼神
不明白的是你为何情愿
让风尘刻划你的样子
就象早已忘情的世界
曾经拥有你的名字我的声音
那悲歌总会在梦中惊醒
诉说一点哀伤过的往事
那看似满不在乎转过身的
是风干泪眼后萧瑟的影子
不明白的是为何人世间
总不能溶解你的样子
是否来迟了明白的渊源
早谢了你的笑容我的心情
不变的你
伫立在茫茫的尘世中
聪明的孩子
提着易碎的灯笼
潇洒的你
将心事化尽尘缘中
孤独的孩子
你是造物的恩宠
不变的你
伫立在茫茫的尘世中
聪明的孩子
提着心爱的灯笼
潇洒的你
将心事化尽尘缘中
孤独的孩子
你是造物的恩宠

who says history repeating itself is a myth?
Seniors
with the organisation for more than 20 years
holding on to their seniority / authority / juniors’ respect
as if that’s the last straw saving themselves from drowning in oblivion
trying to stand out whenever their can
pointing out mistakes in accounts in Annual General Meetings
raising voice against meeting chairperson
hoping that everyone else would succumb to their fury
Or more important
reinforce their status
as the ultimate decision maker
whose ‘Ok’ is essential for every single matter to pass
Have they ever realised
There is no easier way to lose rapport
to ignite hatred
and to chase away everything they have desired?
For fear
does not bring you love
When someone is angry with you
it will get back to you
When a group is angry with you
they do whatever it takes
to remove you
Passing your mid-life point
it is sad that one is still not to be able to control your anger
Blame no one but yourself
Take pity on yourself as no one else will

2. Tried (and failed) punting in the River Cam
3. Met a friend after 8 years since we last met
4. Been a Broker!
5. Appreciated our national treasures at the custody of Brtish Museum
6. Watched extremely WOW musicals
7. Visited Lloyd’s of London
and missed my darling a lot :p
Aftermath of the Royal Wedding

in 别人的blog我来抄
Beauty and Wealth. Very valid reasons for love.
But one would suffer if those are the only reasons.
Cannot help wondering to what extent those royal weddings are based on true love =p
