SUNDAY!

I was meeting with my ex-flatemate for lunch at IMM this afternoon. We didn't meet each other for a long time. I am happy to see her. We were chatting while having our lunch. After lunch, we went window shopping. Hoon was looking for new shoes for her friend's wedding. I just remember that her feet are really small, her feet size is No. 3. She has the difficulty to find the right size, as they are either out of stock or the shops do not sell size 3 shoes. So, feet with small size is not a good thing also.

After shopping, we went to buy some drinks. It happen that there was an authograph session for 周华健. 他的歌伴随着我们的成长, 他的歌是老少皆宜. 我们便找了一个位置留下来观看. 很喜欢他的歌, 首首歌都朗朗上口.

I saw the donut shop, I can't resist it and bought four more today. Donuts are really fattening, I have to cut down. After trying different flavours of the donuts, my favorite donuts are Almond and Oreo donuts. I don't really like the donut with the cream inside.

Donut

I am sweet-toothed, and like to eat chocolate, candies, cake, ice-cream. Just recent year, Donut become very popular in Singapore, and everywhere sells donuts. When it was just started 2 years ago, there were only a few Donut backery shops. There is one "Donut Factory" in Raffles city mall. When it just started, there were a lot of people queeing to buy donuts. I was not so fancy about it at that time. I don't like to quee so I didn't get the chance to eat it. Few months later, there was new branch opened in Suntec city. The quee was not long for dine-in, so I thought of give it a try. Since then, I always have a temptation to buy donuts when I see Donut Backery shop. More and more Donut backery shop or cafe open in Singapore.

There is another famous Donut Outlet called "J CO Donut & Coffee". After gymn, I went to Raffles city mall to have dinner. Before I went back home, I stopped by J CO and picked up 2 donuts. I was really wanted to buy 6, but no one will eat with me. My sis does not like donuts at all. So, I always buy 2 for myself. My colleague recommended Cheese & Garlic flavour. At first, I felt it was a weird combination. After I tasted it, and I think it is quite nice. I hope I can try other flavours. I am easily satisfied after eating donuts. But not too many at one time, 2 are just right. I try not to eat so often, maybe 2 times a month. Haha.. Oh.. I love it, can't wait to buy the next two.

Be optimistic

It has been a tough week at work. This is my first time that I feel the impact of economic crisis. It happened in 1997, and I was 15 years old at that time. I was still going to school, enjoying my teenage life. Again, in 2001-2002, there was a recession, a lot of people were unemployed, and also many people were killed because of SARS. It was really bad. And I was in New Zealand, and didn't really know what had happened in other side of the world. People were fighting for their life. New Zealand is like a land of piece, there was nothing major happen there, it's like we were in another world.

Now, 2009, economic crisis. Everyday, you can read from the newspaper or the news from TV about current market situation. How business, bank & people get affected by this recession. People feel down and gloomy. But there are some articles teach u how to be optimistic during the recession. We need to be thankful that we still keep our job, we have place to live, food to eat. We need to spend our money wisely, to have more saving.

I was thinking to complain about my work, how I felt misunderstood by my boss and I didn't like the way she handled the things. And now, I gonna stop it but to be thankful. Out there, there are a lot of people lose their jobs and maybe they are in the hardship now. So, why should I complain?

想通了!

有时候还是会不由自主的想起你.
要我完全的忘记不是一件容易的事.
当然感情是会随着时间流逝而淡化的. 偶尔, 还是会想起你的.
只是, 已经少了那种感觉了. 我想对我而言是件好事.
人的感情本来就是很脆弱, 可以为了某某因素而变质.
口口声声说"我爱你", 可是转过头可以跟另一个也这么说.

"爱情是盲目的", 很多人都以这句话为借口而开始发展一个自己认为没有结果的感情.
对,爱情会使一个人盲目, 失去理智, 感情用事.
是否该抽离目前的处境以一个第三者的身份去想一想下一步该怎么走呢?
不管你再怎么渴目爱情, 无法忍受孤当寂寞, 还是要理性的去处理事情.
不要因为一时的寂寞而走错路.
"千金难买早知道, 后悔没有特效药".
如果知道一开始就没有结果何必开始呢?
或许, 你会有不同的想法与意见, 只是如果可以把伤害减到最低对大家都有好处.

最后, 想和你们分享 Jay Chow 的这首 "稻香". 很好听的一首歌, 歌词也很有意义.

Lyric:

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan
If you have too many grievances towards this world,

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zou
Having fallen, you lose the courage to go on

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
wei shen me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo
Why do people want to be so weak and fallen?

請你打開電視看看
qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan
Please turn on the television now and see for yourself

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zou xia qu
So many people bravely fighting for their lives

我們是不是該知足
wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu
Shouldn't we be content,

珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish all we have, even if we don't possess them

＊還記得你說家是唯一的城堡　
hai ji de ni shuo jia shi wei yi de cheng bao
I still remember you said home is your only castle

　隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑
sui zhe dao xiang he liu ji xu ben pao
Following the paddy fragrance, the flowing stream, I continued running

　微微笑　小時候的夢我知道
wei wei xiao xiao shi hou de meng wo zhi dao
Smile, I know the childhood dreams


　不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑　
bu yao ku rang ying huo chong dai zhe ni tao pao
Don't cry, let the fireflies take you away, escaping

　鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠
xiang jian de ge yao yong yuan de yi kao
You will always find serenity in folk songs

　回家吧　回到最初的美好＊
hui jia ba hui dao zui chu de mei hao
Go home, return to the sweet past

不要這麼容易就想放棄　就像我說的
bu yao zhe me rong yi jiu xiang fang qi jiu xiang wo shuo de
Don't give up so easily, just like what I said,

追不到的夢想　換個夢不就得了
zhui bu dao de meng xiang huan ge meng bu jiu de liao
If the dream can't be reached, then just follow another dream

為自己的人生鮮艷上色　
wei zi ji de ren sheng xian yan shang se
Add bright colours to your own life

先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色
xian ba ai tu shang xi huan de yan se
Paint LOVE in your favourite colour

笑一個吧　功成名就不是目的
xiao yi ge ba gong cheng ming jiu bu shi mu di
Smile, fame and success isn't the aim

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義
rang zi ji kuai le kuai le zhe cai jiao zuo yi yi
Be happy. That is the whole meaning

@ 童年的紙飛機　現在終於飛回我手裡
tong niang de zhi fei ji xian zai zhong yu fei hui wo shou li
(Just like how) I finally found my lost childhood innocence

＃所謂的那快樂　赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了
suo wei de na kuai le chi jiao zai tian li zhui qing ting zhui dao lei le
What is happiness? It's chasing dragonflies in the fields barefooted till we're exhausted

　偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了　誰在偷笑呢
tou zhai shui guo bei mi feng gei ding dao pa le shui zai tou xiao ne
Tried to steal fruits but suffered so much beestungs until i am scared. Who's snickering (at me)?

　我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了
wo kao zhe dao cao ren chui zhe feng chang zhe ge shui zhao le
Leaning against the scarecrow, enjoying the wind, singing songs till I fall asleep

　哦　哦　午後吉他在蟲鳴中更清脆
o o wu hou ji ta zai chong ming zhong geng qing cui
Oh~ Oh~ In the afternoon, the guitar chords sound more crisp amidst the cries of the insects

　哦　哦　陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎
o o yang guang sa zai lu shang jiu bu pa xin sui
Oh~ Oh~ The sunlight shines on the road so there's no need to fear a heartbreak

　珍惜一切　就算沒有擁有＃
zhen xi yi qie jiu suan mei you yong you
Cherish everything, even if we don't possess them

Baking Cookies

My sister and flatmate are not at home this weekend. Hence, I am alone at home. My youngest sis came to accompany me on Friday night. I am fine to be alone at home, I have much freedom. I can online writing my blog or watching Korean drama without disturbance or interruption. I prefer to write my blog when I am alone. This is also the reason why I didn't update my blog so often.

I went to Dety's house yesterday to bake cookies. I bought the ready-baked powder, and just mixed all the ingredients together. It was very easy as just need to follow the instructions. We were backing the double chocolate cookies, it turned out quite nice. We are planning to bake muffin next time.

I didn't see Adriel & Casia (Dety's children) for more than a month, as they were sick and unable to attend the meeting. Adriel can walk now, though not very stable yet. The way he walks is very cute. Normally, in the meeting, he won't let me to carry him or touch him. But yesterday, he wanted me to feed him. It's really not easy to bring up children, especially when they are both infants and very young in age. They need people's attention and very dependent. I personally feel it's a hard job. We need God's sovereign power and grace.

It's raining again......

Keep good shape

I eat a lot lately. I think I have gained the appetite after I came back from hometown. My mum asked me to eat proper meal (steamed rice with meat & vege)because they have much nutrient and vitamins. As an obedient kid, I listened to my mum, and start to have "proper meal" for my lunch. Since then, I can't stop eating rice for my lunch. I feel hungry easily and tend to eat some pastries (cakes, bread or cookies).

I start to worry about my figure and weight. I need to go to gymn more often. I just weigh last Tuesday, it showed good result. I have lose 3.1kg of fats and convert the fats to muscles. I am quite happy about the result. I was puzzled why I did not gain weight as I ate a lot.

I hope to have fit body. Gambade!!

我的周末

对一个上班族来说周末很重要, 因为可以在周末休息. 不用上班的感觉很好, 不需要看人的脸色, 没有压力. 很多病都是由压力引起的. 虽然看不到它, 它的杀伤力却很强. 这已过的一周, 还过得很慢. 每天上班前, 都希望自己生病还是什么的, 有不想上班的念头.

终于, 周末来了, 本想要睡个痛快, 可是却睡不好. 最近老是做梦, 做很多小小的梦. 有些梦还廷真实的, 却记不起来了. 今天整天在家. 想出去却很懒. 早上, 被哥哥打来的电话吵醒了. 接着就吃姐姐煮的鸡汤寿面, 然后看DVD. 电影名称是 "The Great Debater". 讲述黑人怎么被白人歧视. 这是一部真人故事. 有一个老师, 他栽培了三名学生成为出色的辩论家. 赢了多场比赛,有了知名度. 最后,还赢了最有名的大学, Havard University. 后来, 这三名学生都有出色的成就, 为黑人作出了很大的贡献, 解除了白人对黑人的歧视. 这是一部颁非常感人的电影. 我想因为有了困难和挑战, 我们才会有进步, 努力去争取自己的权益.

通常, 星期五和六, 都会比较迟才睡. 上上网啦, 看电视啦, 看书啦, 什么都好. 现在, 上网看韩剧, 剧名叫 "On Air". 这是讲娱乐界的幕后工作的黑暗与丑陋之处. 当你还不是很红的时候, 说话要礼貌, 低声下气的, 只怕得罪人. 当你红的时候, 每个人都要对你毕恭毕敬, 照你的吩咐做事, 不敢得罪你, 说话都变得大声了. 所以说, 娱乐圈是很复杂的, 它是一个大染缸, 不知到进去后会变成什么样. 意志力不好的还是别发明星梦吧! 算是一步很精彩的电视剧吧, 有空看看吧!

Weird Dreams

I have some weird dreams recently. Those dreams were similar. In the dream, I was pregnant and was congratulated by my friends. The background was a house, everything was bright in the dream. I was wearing white, I couldn't see my friends' face. I can only feel that they were happy for me, and I was happy in the dream. It seems a beautiful dream for me.

Last Saturday, my brother came to my house to pick up the slow-cooker. He told me that he and sister-in-law dreamt respectively that I was married with someone suddenly. I found it weird and funny.

When I was young, I wished that I can get married at age of 27 year old. I wrote down a list which I hope my future husband can match them. I have forgotten what I have actually wrote down in the list, and never update it again. A sister shared with us in a dinner, if we love the Lord, we should not worry about our marriage. She was told to write down the criteria of her future husband. Later, the Lord met all the criterias she has listed. She encouraged us to take Christ as the preeminent one and the Lord will take care all your needs.
