正当我忙得天昏地暗的时候，朋友转发了这份“爱，永恒的活力”。一时兴起，请看官们来评阅我的“宏观”吧！
爱情这玩意，没有的时候拼命想，有的时候又觉得很烦。那它到底应该是什么呢？
其实爱情犹如一枚钱币，是两面的，没有所谓的对或错，没有所谓的应不应该。人本来就是七情六欲的构造，爱到天翻地覆、海枯石烂时，一切是美好的，是乌托邦的。可是很多人也许忘了，再轰轰烈烈的爱情也需要你的用心与灌溉。没有用心、爱心的播种与耕耘，哪能享有丰裕的丰收？这个道理是亘古不变的。
当你爱一个人的时候，也希望对方也爱你。若不爱，也无所谓，对我而言。因为你绝对有权利去爱人。不奢望对方的回馈，是因为你无需去对他有任何要求。我伟大？应该不是吧。爱应该是无任何方程式的。爱的条件不是你爱他一点，而他爱你多一点。应该是互动的，而不是你永远都是处于受的一方。
朋友问我：能不能同时爱2个人？答案：因人而异吧！人，本来就是自私的，试问哪有这么多博爱的人？2年前曾阅读过这篇文章--“爱的条件”， 作者的见解引起了我的共鸣，犹记得亦倍感震撼。希望看官们读了也会有同感。
爱，始终都是一个谜，人永远对感情最敏感。若要理出个头绪来，或许是给爱情写上了休止符。你不去理睬它，或许爱情就是很简单的东西。

Will You Dare to Find New Ways?
One people, one nation, one Singapore
That's the way that we'll be, forever more
Every creed and every race
Has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore
There will always be people out there sniggering at us being 乖乖仔, no freedom of speech (is that so?), the ruling PAP is our nanny, but who cares? Well, I do lah, especailly if it gets on my nerve. But I must pity those smart alecks coz they never enjoy what we are enjoying. Aiyah, I think they never know. They never will.
Like what PM Lee has said in his National Day speech, "Singapore's changing...and I'd like Singaporeans to see it." Yes, I do like what I am seeing and we defnitely will completely transform.
Happy Birthday Singapore, and for more good years ahead :)! Yeah!
That's the way that we'll be, forever more
Every creed and every race
Has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore
Today is the time of the year when we sing our hearts out, belting out the lyrics of those national songs爱国歌, with gusto and pride. And, I see no reason why we shouldn't do so.
This tiny red dot, smacks somewhere in that world globe of yours, has come a long long way, and has achieved so much that her people are all well taken care of. We may be well pampered, we have lots of complaints (yes, I know, Singaporeans are complaint kings and queens), know nought of social grace and road courtesy, love to queue especially the queue is for food (haha), never miss out a sale, super kiasu and whatever nought you name it. But that's what make us so special and unique.
We have an efficient government (I know I know, you guys may not agree with me and gonna protest) but we really cannot find fault with the current government. They make sure all of us have affordable roof over our head, a retirement egg nest, enjoy the harvest the government reaps, have the ability to work beyond retirement and be prepared at all times against terroism. So, what's so bad about it?There will always be people out there sniggering at us being 乖乖仔, no freedom of speech (is that so?), the ruling PAP is our nanny, but who cares?

I am 16...
....going on 17.........I know I am naive..... -- Sound of Music --
How I wish I can say that again. Oh alright, am 37 going on 38. OMG, 38. Should I say scary? I really cannot imagine when I hit the BIG 4--0 in a couple of years time.
When I was much younger and innocent (*ahem), I simply could not wait for my 21st birthday. When it finally came, it was just fantastic coz leagally, I'm an adult. Ha....so, soon after, 22nd, 23rd came so fast that I could bargain for. So much so that I wish time can slow down.
I know, ageing with grace is a must now. And, as you grow a year older, you also turn wiser and mellower, hopefully. Everyday when I look at myself in the mirror, I really like what I am seeing. Yours truly looks so much presentable and more pleasing to the eyes :). Should I say with more sophistication? Yes, would like to believe so. And, yes, beauty never comes cheap or easy. You cannot imagine the regime, day and night, hot and cold, you have to adhere. Well, nothing ventures nothing gains. Yes? No?
I am always a happy-go-lucky gal, and definitely a staunch believer of kismet/fate. I, for one, do not believe that you can change or test fate. Your life has been destined upon birth and it is up to you how to live it to the fullest, for worse or for better. I choose to live it happily and adventuoursly. Happily coz I love the warm fuzzy feeling of joy and happiness. Adventurously coz you only live once, so no room for regret. None at all, to be precise.
So, at this point of time, I have crossed half of my life. Yes, there is no regret or whatsoever, and I do not see why I should have any. I try not to dwell on the uncertainty which may lie ahead of me. Come what may, it will be....que sera sera.....

狮子座
如果你想认识，或了解我，我想，以下的小解可让你得到一些蛛丝马迹。
狮子是森林之王，但大家都知道，比狮子聪明，厉害的动物不计其数。无可否认的，狮子的长相与吼声架势十足，而且独来独往的它们，很容易显得自以为是或高高在上。这点与狮子座人生的基调很相似。但自以为是和高高在上，都是在人群中比较出来的，当人群散去后，自以为是可能转变成不被了解的愤怒，而高高在上则导致高处不胜寒的孤寂感。
人生如戏，生活的每个角落都是人生舞台，既然要表演，就要演的漂亮、秀个痛快。狮子座人把生活的每个角落都当成自己表演的舞台，似乎看淡人生的他们，其实有一套强烈的自我主张。
狮子座的女孩是那种被群星拱月而仍旧泰然自若的女子，她也许不是最美，但是派头最足、人气最旺，举手投足之间散发出来的热力，可以将所有异性的眼神熔化。
不管她在现实世界的出身如何，她都是传说中的皇族女子。表现欲很强的狮子座女性，一旦不受到别人的重视或被低估时，脸上会立即显现出不悦的神色，令人敬而远之。但她们做任何事都光明磊落，自信心极强，且不畏权势。
狮子座的女性很自我，做事没恒心。所以，虽具备临导能力，却很难有效地发挥。不过，她们具有为别人牺牲、奉献的精神，而且有一颗真诚的心。
对狮子座而言，爱可以让世界转动。他们喜欢爱人，也喜欢被爱。他们是理想的情人，具备了使爱情变得神奇或使某件事变得特别的天赋。
他们也需要对方的回应，不论男女，都一样是善妒的猫，无法忍受一堆苍蝇追逐着他们的另一半，更加无法忍受的是背叛，那会使他们深深受伤，而且无法宽恕对方。
他们还会期望对方如对待君王或女王般地对待他们，从某个角度来说，狮子座可能表现出惹人爱的一面，所以你才愿意这么对待他（她）。但从另一个角度来看，这种帝王般的态度，有时还真惹人厌。

Happy Valentine's Day
Yes, it's Valentine's Day, not V-day, my Significant Other would have said.
No, I don't celebrate at all but I do not mind receiving flowers. My Significant Other gave me a big bunch 7 years ago, I guess that's the end of it. How unromantic, huh?
With CNY just roound the corner, I'm so dead tired, with so many nth things to do. My writing bug has vanished too.....arrgh........I can't write like I used to........

Singapore Idol
My Significant Other said it was pre-determined. I wonder how it was so when the final decision lied in the hands of us audience. -_- ......
So, Hady Miraz beat fellow contestant Jonathan Leong to crown as the next Singapore Idol. Really don't understand, the judges kept saying he has good vocal. But frankly, it's not that appealing to me. Okay, I just tuned in to the finale show, and I still think Jonathan is a better and appealing singer, right from the audition to the grand finale.
Question from My Significant Other:" Who makes a better neighbour? Malay or Chinese?"
Okay, I shall rest my case.....

Tranquility Before A Storm
These were some of the pictures I had taken last Wednesday in Mongkok, before the forecasted Typhoon Bopha. It was terribly hazy and humid. The air seemed quite calm before the thunderstorm which hit HK early the next morning.
I was watching some TV programme when I heard those thunder. It sounded like fighter planes flying past (we stayed on the 38th storey) but it did not sound logical. Went to peep out of the window and gosh....what a sight! Sorry, forgot to take some pic
tures, but you can try to imagine. The wind was working hard, blowing the rain to almost horizontal lines, lightning kept flashing and thunder clapped through the night. Quite an experience. It was what HK termed as the "T1" -- yellow signal. This was my second "yellow" thunder storm in HK. The first was in year 2001. It was not as bad as this one.
Luckily for us, Typhoon Bopha had weakened when it approached HK on Thursday morning. Instead of a typhoon T3 signal, it was changed to a tropical storm signal. Our luck just ended there. We got stuck at the airport for 5 hours due to a flight delay. The airport staff for SQ was terribly lousy in handling the situation. When they should make an annoucement to inform us of the situation, they did not. When it was not required, they kept annoucing, showing off their not-so-good English. Arghh....so I guess it is better and wiser not to travel during the Lunar 7th month, huh? No? I really wonder...

Blowing Big
Weather forecast had reported 3 typhoons will hit Japan and Taiwan today, especially Southern Taiwan, they may get hit by 2 typhoons. After hitting Taiwan, the typhoons will shift towards Chian's Fujian, Kwantung. Hopefully we don't get them here in HK.
Just went to the little wet market in Mongkok just now. Interesting place. Weather seems okay but it is very hazy when you see the view from a high place. It is very polluted here and the air pollution hovers around the high level almost every day :(.
We may have some rain today, some storms expected. Nothing to worry I guess. Hopefully the typhoons will not change their course and hit HK again. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hot Weather, Rush Hour
No, not another sequel by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, am talking about the rush hour in HK, couples with the hot spells.
I know, we do have such rush hour back home but this ain't familiar territory, so it is kinda weird and fascinating to see the Hong Kongers rushing for the MTR. Not forgetting to mention stressful. They are forever so rushing for time, even going home, my god. I feel stressful as well although I am just a holiday maker. Even walking on the streets can be intimidating. They are rushing to beat the red lights, or catching the bus or mini bus. Oh yes, not forgetting the escalators. They can't even take their own sweet time to go up or down. One thing good here is that everyone, including me a foreigner, will keep to our right (yes, HK keeps to the right, weird), leaving the left side free for poeple who are rushing or do not have the patience to take a leisure ride on the escalator. This can never happen back home although there are signages telling us to do so.
However, I'm afraid the goodness stops right there only. While waiting for the trains' doors to open, they too like us, will crowd the entrance, thus, inconveniencing the passengers who are trying to push their way out. Argh....can be real irritating if you are trying to manouevre your way out. To be exact, you'll get push by the people behind you, during the rush hour.
It is summer in HK now, the heat is picking up after a short visit by Typhoon Prapipon (did I get the name right?). It was quite windy 2 days ago, just right after the typhoon. Not so windy today, so you can imagine the heat. I wonder does that contribute to the short temper of the Hong Kongers. They tend to raise their voice volume when they aren't too happy. It can get quite deafening for me coz I simply cannot take too loud a noise. Oh my goodness, I even witnessed a quarrel between the HK fellow citizens, a lady and a uncle, 2 days ago at TST's Esprit Outlet. The air-con was on full blown but the heat between them was building up. I was so taken aback, but the rest were like, it's part and parcel of their life.
Talking about full blown air-con, it is soooo ironical when the HK is trying to be environmental friendly, doing their part to save the earth, BUT, their air-cons are forever so cooold. It is switched on full blast, even during their autumn / winter seasons. Unbelievable! How to conserve energy? I simply do not understand. Can you imgaine I need to bring along a cardigan with me whenever I step out of the hotel? It is soooo hot outside, but it is the contrast when you enter a building. Why doesn't Donald Tsang visit Japan to learn this idea of conserving energy, instead of going to Singapore to create such a big hooha over a bowl of bak kut tek?
Well, expecting more heat spells for the next couple of days. So, I guess it will be good if I stay indoors, with my cardigan.
Mongkok, Hong Kong
p/s. Got a birthday cake from the hotel just now when we went up to the Coffee Lounge for some drinks. Very sweet of them :).

你是我的头痛
“你就是我的头痛！”
2天前因无缘无故生闷气，我的“阿宁”因不知是好，无所适从，冒出了这么一句话。当时的我愣了一下，但没去安抚他，继续生我的闷气。
无可否认，我的确是被“阿宁”宠坏了。有时候像个小孩子似的，无理取闹，晓得他会迁就我，就乱发脾气、乱撒娇。相信他最受不了的是，我一声也不吭，一脸的不高兴，嘴嘟嘟的。其实不是我不愿吭声，只不过想控制自己的脾气，担心一发起火来，会说出不该说的话。
我已收敛许多，尽量不乱发飙，尽量不对“阿宁”有太多的要求。看在他这么疼爱我的份上，尽量什么事都随便一点。但是，有时候忍无可忍，就会发飙了 ：（。真的没办法，我毕竟是个有感情的人，还是得发泄发泄一下。不过我的气来的快，去的也快，犹如龙卷风。“阿宁”很不能认同这一点，因为他觉得这样子很浪费细胞。当然啦，他好会记仇，长气的要命。我每次都会问：“这样人生会快乐吗？”我好不喜欢那种不开心的心情，闷闷的，感觉极为不好。所以咧，不开心的、伤心的、生气的，一概都要发飙，要不然很辛苦。
早上心血来潮，发了简讯给“阿宁”： “我还是你的头痛吗？”
“你说咧？”他反问了我。我即刻笑了出来，很开心，因为我还是“阿宁”心中的那个宝 ：）。哈。。。

Viva Italia!
Italy 5 : France 3
So, Italy had played to the masses' wishes -- won the 2006 World Cup, after a penalty kick shoot out. Although I did not watch the game, according to my Significant Other, the French played so much better than the Italians. Hence, it must be kismet that the championship had to go to Italy -- for that so-to-say 12 years curse.
Okay, after a month of craziness, hay-wired and topsy turvy schedules, blood-shot eyes due to lack of sleep, perhaps now life has to return to normalcy, albeit a sense of loss. Despair not, for all you know, World Cup 2010 is just round the corner.

Portugal 0 : France 1
葡萄牙几经辛苦，首次打入半决赛，但始终无缘问鼎大决赛， 眼巴巴看着越战越勇的劲敌，法国，迈入大决赛，争夺那最后的荣耀。
比赛毕竟是无情、残酷的。再怎么辛苦、怎么努力、怎么把握机会，最终还是得收起尊严，收拾心情，打道回府，再为4年后的比赛付出血汗与尊严。

The Heat Is On
Italy is going to the finals!
Am pretty sure the German players must be very very, sure very very depressed :(. No word can console them. They were so near, yet so far. Competition, is always cruel.
The other semi-final game will be on tomorrow morning. It is either Portugal or France to join Germany in mourning their loss. You may think I am exaggerating, but if you are fighting for that world level honour, you will think otherwise.
So, may the best wins......

Lastest Standing
Early this morning we saw Spain making an early exit from World Cup 2006. Very sad...can't see Raul on the field now. France has really upped their game and their victory this morning was a suprise.
So, the last 8 teams will be: Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Italy, Ukraine, Brazil and France. Germany will meet Argentina this coming Friday. That will be the clash of the titans. It is a pity that we are unable to see these 2 great teams at semi-finals or final.
The game is getting more exciting, so you can start placing your bet on your favourite team. Just a kind reminder -- don't place too big a bet, just for the fun of it. You are forewarned.

The Soccer Mania Continues
World Cup 2006 is into the quarter qualifying rounds, and so far, Germany, Argentina, England, Portugal, Italy and Ukraine are in. I am expecting the last 2 teams to be Brazil and Spain, unless the Spanish team decides to give an early Christmas gift to France. It is sad that Michael Owen from England, had to make an early exit, due to an injury, but I guess he didn't lose much. Lots of pressure on the English team and even their captain, Beckham is feeling the heat. Poor guys.
You may think that I have been sacrificing my beauty sleep to see the ball rolling. Sorry to disappoint, I have yet to watch a full match at all. With a Significant Other so ardent with the game, it is not easy not to know anything about World Cup 2006. Life would be so montonous if I choose to ignore him. Have been gallivanting on thy self for the past few weekends, short of painting the town red. Pretty liberating, I must say.
2 more weeks to go before the world champion will be named, and am counting down. Nope, not excited lah, I just want my Significant Other to get his life back. He is a sucker for disciplined lifestyle, and his sleeping hours have gone haywire since the world cup. Poor thing......
If you are not into the big F game, you will never comprehend all these madness. No matter what, it is here to stay, whether you like it or not. Thank god, it is a 4-year event.
