Goodbye Mr.K

Mr. K be gone for 2 years.  He looked fat in photos now but I guess he has a lot to suffer in future…hahaha GOODBYE and see you in 2010!!

Here I go again

I CAN”T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST DID.  BUT YES I DID IT AFTER MUCH THINKING.  I don’t want to escape anymore.  I will go for what I have always wanted to.  AFTER 6 MONTHS!! But at least now I can focus and I am even more sure of myself.  You go gal!!!

I don’t believe this

I managed to finish 3.5 books in a span of 1.5 days? Crap right? But I really don’t like to start a book and then put it down halfway to do something else, unless I fell asleep or had to eat. So after Would You? I went on to Shopaholic  & Sister, after which was The Undomestic Goddess. Each book took only about 4 hours plus and I didn’t do a speedread.  Or was it? On top of that I was watching TV as I read too, not forgetting..ever the multi-tasker.  I dunno lah..hahah After that I managed to complete the “difficult to flip a page” book And Then We Came To The End.  Crap lah crap lah.. now I got to go and find new things to do or new books to read.  Should I take that exam??aiyo.. I am ever the big time procrastinator.  Shit shit shit shit!

Would you? by Deanna Kizis

Seems that this book has got another title as “Finishing Touches” when I was reading its reviews on Amazon. I have this habit of only going to read these reviews after I have finished the entire book most of the time. In a way, I don’t really want anyone to sway my opinion without myself reading it first hand. Sometimes I might end up with lousy books but again back to my theory, people have different preferences so you shouldn’t depend on such things.

Anyway, it’s one of the better books that manages to touch on the reality of ups and downs of life, even though one doesn’t lose a best friend everyday. It takes friendship to a new perspective. That everyone is trying to lead his/her own life while trying to connect with people, even best friends. Would I? I asked myself. I don’t think so. It would just be … devastating and the sense of guilt would be enough to kill me. Probably will go crazy.

As usual, I finished the book within 4 hours. Not unbelievable since it was a easy novel to read too so it didn’t take much effort. The ending was sensible I thought, though not the happy ones that most would expect. Afterall, it wasn’t a love story to start off with.

I’m still stuck with a book called “Then We Came To The End”. I dunno how to descibe this book. It isn’t a page turner and I took more than a week to get to the 100th page. I felt like putting it aside but perseverance got the better of me. But it got interesting enough somewhere in the middle for me to continue on. But now I’m stuck again. Crap.

I want to read The Time Traveller’s Wife!! I believe I actually picked it up at Kino before but put it down again. I saw it as a recommendation from Deanna Kizis and it actually looked interesting after I read its sypnosis at Amazon. Another bookhunt soon!!

多远能够走完这世界
感觉放到极限
某天无声的雨正下在某处
我被淋湿了
湿透我想才能更勇敢
等着雨过天晴
忽然想要看彩虹
可以拥抱我
我飞越一阵痛楚的转变
懂的想的就那些
原来那就叫作生命的中间
飞越一滴苦涩的眼泪
雨点下的好直接
发现彩虹在天边
渺小的我跑在最前面
那一边是明天
看见那看不见的时间
当我有了从前
往前发出声音告诉这世界
我想要什么
听见我已经开始冒险
泪水流下安慰
哭过的脸最坚决
放晴的瞬间
我飞越一阵痛楚的转变
懂的想的就那些
原来那就叫作生命的中间
飞越一滴苦涩的眼泪
雨点下的好直接
发现彩虹在天边
渺小的我跑在最前面
那一边是明天
我飞越一阵痛楚的转变
懂的想的就那些
原来那就叫作生命的中间
飞越一滴苦涩的眼泪
雨点下的好直接
发现彩虹在天边
渺小的我跑在最前面
那一边是明天
不远来到一切的中间
转变
会变灰色阴天到晴天
那天
了解像勇气的无意间
出现
生命有许多中间

S POP

I was watching S POP last night.  All these few months, I had been faithfully following each episode of this show every Monday at 8pm on Channel U nearly without fail.  It was actually nice to be able to hear all the nice songs from the various local singers.  But last night, I felt that the concert was a flop and was really disappointed by the arrangements made by the organisers.
The concert got to a pretty good start with the 2 Lee singing teachers playing on the piano and singing along with the backgrd choir.  Then came the disaster of the night when they introduced the host. Eric Moo nearly ruined the whole show with his lackluster hosting and saying wrong things to the guests.  I think QYF would have done better if she ran the whole show herself.  She practically had to try to “da yuan chang” everytime he spoke.  They really should not have asked him to do the hosting lah.  He may be good in singing but that doesn’t mean he is good at other things.  On top of that, the show was supposed to be the contest for the final 2 contenders of SPOP but apparently the attention given to them was probably only 20-30 mins out of the whole 3.5hrs?!  Apart from the time for showcasing their songs, they only came out again to ”pull” votes for a few times.  I think their MTVs(unless I missed it?) weren’t even shown?  It became more like a JJ mini concert.  His performance on a platform(which was really only a box) singing and being surrounded by a ”sea” of pple holding pompoms was absolutely ridiculous.   And the award he got?! Makes me wanna laugh man.  If anything, Sun Yan Zi should be the one to be awarded because she would be the local singer who had gathered the most number of awards. It’s patronising to that extent. I think the winner was quite pitiful also.. only got called in for the announcement like 10 mins b4 the show ended? Then it was over fast.  Even the design of the award was the same as JJ’s. But the show had its warm moments too, especially when Lee Zong Sheng presented Tanya with a guitar which seemed really a surprise for her.

Anyway, all in all, the intention of S POP was good but the execution of the concert could have been much much better, especially with the selection of the male host.

Super pissed off.

Foul mood

Don’t you just hate it when you’re alone standing at the traffic light, waiting for the green man when someone comes along and press that button again?!  Did that person think I was an idiot standing there, waiting for the green man to come on its own?  Obviously I had pressed the button!!!!  It’s not as if pressing the button a second or third time would make a difference.  I think these people must have some kind of hidden urge of pressing the traffic light buttons whenever they see one. It’s just so silly. Moreover the person was just a few steps behind.  I dunno why, but that idiot’s action totally irked me bigtime today. She wasn’t in any kind of hurry, considering her slow footsteps and I had overtaken her before that.

Was at the library today to get some books.  I think I have fallen in love with thrillers and crime books again. I’m reading a book by Peter Robinson - Friend of the Devil.  It’s quite well written and I will write more about it later once I’ve finished it.   Anyway, I realised there’s many strange personalities who hang out at the library.  I dunno why, but you can see a lot of people with problems there.  To me, the library’s considered quite a ”sacred” place…hahah.. a place to borrow/read books, do projects and study. But no, aside from the usual crowd, I saw something else. Quite a few “uncles” were there ogling at women or sitting on the sofas taking a nap.  There’s also a few with the odd personalities and dressing. You could tell from their dazed looks and behaviour.  They weren’t harassing anyone, just walking around aimlessly from one end of the library to another.  No, I’m not discriminating against such people if that’s what you’re thinking.  It’s just that there wasn’t such a group in the past.  I’m just disturbed by such a sight.

Being goondu

Everyone has got their “goondu” times.  You’ll most likely laugh at a photo/video of yourself taken 15 years ago. Perhaps 20 years down the road, we’ll be wearing robot suits, and laughing at ourselves typing these stupid posts and taking those poser photos.

定力

为什么总要在我下定决心，做好决定之后，又来动摇我？？
