夜。少女

 

 
女孩,每当夕阳西下,心情就特别开朗起来,
因为我们相见欢聚的时刻就将来临了。
白天百思不解,无法想通的问题,
因你的出现,脑筋也开始特别的活跃起来,
一切难题都顺序的找到解答。
 
女孩,为什么你总是那么深不可测?
永远都披着那件深黑色的风衣,
冷酷地站在遥远的天边,犹如隔着一层纱,
让人无法靠近。感到畏惧害怕。
 
女孩,今晚为什么你又哭泣了?
难道你又看到什么不如意的事?
莫非那些无知的红尘俗子,
又让你感到伤心流泪?
 
女孩,请别再哭泣了。擦干眼泪吧!
喜欢见到你开心灿烂的微笑。
喜欢见到你带着闪闪亮晶晶的耳环与首饰来向我炫耀。
更喜欢与你一起数数聊聊你带来那条银河里的星座。
 
女孩,一缕黎明曙光就要初现了,
也就是我们互道别离的时刻到了。
见到你那背影缓缓地消失在空中,
总是有些依依不舍,因为只有你,
才真正能了解我的心情,体会我的感受。
 
女孩,谢谢你这几个小时默默的陪伴。
让我把白天所发生一切不愉快的事都抛在脑后。
依偎在你温暖的怀抱里,心情也随着平静起来,
让我不再感到那么的孤独,那么的寂寞。
 
辛苦你了,夜!

My Buddies are leaving me…



Why all of a sudden, around the same time, all my buddies refuse to work anymore and are leaving me?  Is it true that a new year is a time for new things?

Ms Camera

Remember in Desaru photo album, I ever mention being bullied by camera ?  Till now, she still refuse to work properly for me.  Probably she is signaling that she is too old already, needs to retire or to switch to part-time job, just shooting video and no photo taking anymore.  She’s my first digital camera I bought in 2003 using my hard earned money.
 
Mr Handycam

Few weeks ago, brought him to a young musician piano concert, he refused to close his mouth after I gave him the cassette.  I was so angry that I forced him to close his mouth and since then he never open his mouth.
 
Mr Mini-Fridge

He has been staying in my bedroom for so many years, providing 24/7 hours supply of cold refreshment and snacks around the clock as and when I need .  Recently, after I put him to sleep in order to defrost him, till now he has not waken up from his sleep.
 
Ms WindowsME PC

Initially bought her so as to use her at home but there was a sudden change of situation and at end did not have much time and chances using her.  Recently I tried to play with her, but probably she felt being neglected for so long and also  jealous, thus protesting by showing me “blue face” and halt the system whenever I tried to start her.

Boost Up Our Self-Esteem, Ladies



For All Great Women All Over the World …

As we grow older, women gain weight. This happens because we accumulate a lot of information in our heads.  And then, of course, we get to a point in which so much information doesn’t fit in our heads, that starts to distribute itself throughout our entire body.


Now I understand it all…
I’m not Overweight !!!
I’m not Fat !!!
I’m Smart !!!
VERY Smart !!!
 
 
Life should not be a trip to the tomb with the intention of reaching it with good health and an attractive well-cared for Body. 
 
It should be more like a ride on a great water slide, with a big piece of yummy chocolate in one hand and a glass of good wine in the other. 
 
With a body totally worn out from good living, and yelling …
WoW! What a Ride !!!
 

We are PERFECT ! Because:
 
We don’t go bald.

We have an international day of Incredibly Good Looking and Elegant Women.

We can use pink as well as blue.
 

We have priority in a shipwreck, we are the first hostages to go free.

We can pay attention to several things at a time.

If we decide to do a man’s job, we’re pioneers.
 
The wife of a President is the First Lady, so, What is the husband of a female President?
 
And last but not least…
We can do everything a man does, and wearing Earrings & Heels !!!

To all of the perfect women and all men capable of acknowledging it.
 Have A Great Day !

 

I Wish You, My Friends

 

 
I Wish You Health
So You May Enjoy Each Day In Comfort
I Wish You Wisdom
To Choose Priorities For Those Things That Really Matter In Life
I Wish You Generosity
So You May Share All Good Things That Come To You
I Wish You The Beauty Of Nature
So You May Enjoy The Work Of God
I Wish You The Love Of Friends And Family
And Peace Within Your Heart
I Wish You Happiness And Joy
And Blessings For The Whole New Year
I Wish You All The Best Of Everything
That You So Well Deserve
 

Put The Glass Down Today

 

Would like to share this SMALL story with you.
Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU !

Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it.
He held it up for all to see & asked the students
 
“How much do you think this glass weighs?”
'50gms!' .... '100grams!' .....'125grams' the students answered.
 
“I really don't know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”
'Nothing' …..the students said.
 
'Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?' the professor asked.
'Your arm would begin to ache' said one of the student.
 
“You're right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb, you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!” ventured another student & all the students laughed.
 
“Very good.  But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” asked the professor.
'No‘…. Was the answer.
 
“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
 
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students.
 
“EXACTLY!” said the professor.

 
Life's problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will not be able to do anything.
 

It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life,
but even more important is to ‘Put Them Down'
at the end of every day before you go to sleep.
That way, you are not stressed.
You wake up every day fresh & strong.
You can handle any issue, any challenge
that comes your way!
 
So, when you leave office today, remember friend to
 
'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!’

Picture Perfect - Reflections


 Picture Perfect 2008/#01

Date Taken : 2007 Sep

 

 
This picture was taken last Sep when I went to The Netherlands.
I have rotated the picture and placed it beside the original to have a fun view
 
When looking at the picture, I have been wondering where did the street lamp come from and where did the 3 cars disappear to?

Why ? 为什么舍七迎八 ?




 
Why Must have fireworks at countdown night? One hand trying to save environment in the day but the other hand trying to destroy the ozone in the night?
People like to see colorful fireworks which only last for few minutes, and not piles of white rice for poor which last for years?
Don’t we donate this huge sum of money spent on fireworks to the charity?
 
Why Do we need to treat this day as a special day? Don’t we suppose to treat everyday as special day?
Do we only think of resolution during this time and not other times?
 
Why Do we always perform housekeeping only at this period of time?
Only donate to charity organizations things that we don’t want and not things that people need?
During this season then we think of Salvation Army? Or do we treat them as Garbage Trash Center?
 
Why are there so many countdown parties?
The only way to celebrate new year is to go to countdown party?
Or are we just feeling lonely?

 

为什么倒数夜就要燃放烟火呢?难道所有不愉快的事情都会随着烟火化为乌有吗?
 
为什么那么不环保呢?
难道大家都是讲一套做一套吗?
 
为什么就为了那短暂几分几秒钟的璀璨,而浪费那么多的资金呢?
难到这是值得的吗?
 
为什么不将这笔钱捐献给更需要帮助的人呢?
难道短暂五彩缤纷的烟花比一整年堆积如山雪白的米粮更好看吗?
 
为什么只是平常的一天,就需要迎接了?
难道其他的每一天就不该迎接吗?
 
为什么在这时才来自我检讨那些坏习惯需要改掉呢?
难道平时就可以容忍这些恶习吗?
 
为什么在这时才来定所谓的新年resolution呢?
难道平时就没有了resolution
了吗?
 
 为什么非要等到这时才来打扫除了?
难道平时就不能吗?
  
为什么这时大家才想把自己不需要用到的物品捐赠给福利团体呢?
难道平时这些物品你就需要吗?
 
为什么总在这时大家才想起救世军呢?
难道把救世军当成垃圾槽了吗?
 
为什么爱心往往这时候才冒出头来呢?
难道平时这颗暖暖的爱心在冬眠吗?
 
为什么那么多倒数派对呢?倒数就一定就要去派对狂欢吗?
难道你感觉很孤独无聊,那么怕寂寞吗?

More or Less



Today, we have . . .
bigger, finer houses...but smaller, broken families
higher buildings...but shorter temperaments
wider highways...but narrow point of view
more knowledge...but less judgment
more medicines...but less health
higher income...but less morals
spent more...but enjoyed less

Picture Perfect - Festive


Festive = merry, happy, joyful…
 


I have spent more than 6 hours the whole of Friday morning making this “card” for my friend.
 
People may laugh, What? More than 6 hours to make a card? You must be crazy….
 
Well, that’s me…why not?  This is my first time hand-making (with my clumsy big hands) a card for someone who I wish to share the joy and blessing with, in this festive season.
 
Starting from designing the card (more of impromptu, keep changing as and when I am doing it);  staring and picking the letters from a pile of mini alphabets macaroni, to form the words; gluing them onto the coloured ice-cream sticks; punching those tiny Xmas trees and stars, gluing them to form the big Xmas tree..etc., all these, for someone who is skillful in art and craft, that should not be a problem at all, but not me…
 
At end it turned out not as good as I was expecting, but...anyway I managed to complete it by 3.30 pm and quickly rushed downtown to hand-deliver it to my friend, else next few days I would not be around.  I did not dare to ask my friend to open it on the spot as too embarrassing...

Picture Perfect - Into The Night



 
Into The Night


 
I took these pictures just few hours ago at the Riverside Point, located  along Singapore River bank.

Everyone has been very busy in the office everyday.  Though we see each other everyday, however, we do not really have the time to sit down talk to each other.

It has been quite a long time to have such a big group of us (almost 20) gathering together for dinner.

One of our colleague is migrating to Australia, thus we are hosting a farewell dinner party for him at one of the Mexican restaurant located along this beautiful Riverside.
 
 
There are three revitalized quays in Singapore - Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay - where in the olden days, sweating laborers once loaded and unloaded goods from the riverside warehouses.  These days they have turned into buzzing nightspots, with endless many restaurants, bars, and clubs lining the newly clean river, and the traditional belching bum boats now ferry tourists rather than sacks of rice.
