Irony

About to leave for Melbourne in a few hrs time. The funny thing is whenever I travel out of Singapore, I would miss Singapore a lot. But when I am here, at times I can't wait to get out of the country to take a break. Funny right? Although I am still here in Singapore, I am missing it already. Sigh....... Irony.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Just watched the "Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End" with my hubby. Well, I prefer the first two movies. This one is a little "messy". You will need to concentrate so that you can understand what is going on. I fell asleep even before the movie starts. Hee......was too tired. Woke up 20 mins later. By then, they were on their way to save Jack Sparrow. Anyway, if any of you is going to catch the show, you must stay till the end of the credits. Some more part at the end.

Pri 6DF

每当我踏进小六那一班的课室时，很多时候，我都是板着一张脸。但多数时候，我进去后没多久，脸上一定露出笑容。那一班学生，不是天使。他们很顽皮，很喜欢“讨价还价”，讨厌做功课。不管是男的或是女的，都说个不停。但是，上他们课时，我感到很开心。他们虽顽皮，但不会没礼貌；虽叽喳，但上课时，最专心的也是他们这一班。我生病在家时，他们也会传简讯也我，祝我早日康复。如果几天没见，“萱萱”一定会说：“老师，I miss you le. How come you never come?" 我常说她好肉麻，但其实心里感到很欣慰......

Sunrise

Guess where is this place? Look beautiful right? I see this scenary everyday! Every morning when I look out of my living room's window, this is what I will see, that is if weather permits. (^-^)

Japanese cemetary

During the March holidays, I went to Japan. This time round, I went to Koya San. If you follow a package tour, don't think they will bring you there, because the most famous attraction is the cemetary. However, I think that place is pretty cool. Lots of famous people were buried there. Some of the tombs were covered with moss like the one showed in the picture above. They looked exactly like a scene from the animation " Spirited Away". Taking a stroll through the forest filled with tombs is an unforgettable experience.

我爱高山

我喜欢大自然，喜欢大海，更爱高山。我觉得我们的人生旅途中，也会出现很多座“山”，有些高，有些矮，不管如何我们都得鼓起勇气去克服，去“攀登”每一座“山”。

Reflection

I have been touching on the topics of Life and Death lately. I am not getting pessimistic, neither am I giving up hope. Some may say that I am too free, that's why I have time to think of all these. Maybe. Well, I guess at times we need to slow down our pace and ask ourselves what do we want, what can I do so that my limited time in this world won't come to a waste. Guess that's what I have been asking myself lately.

THE DAY

Saw a Taiwanese variety show tonight. Its a tribute to a female entertainer by the name of "Xu Wei Lun". She had died in a car accident earlier this year. She was in her early 20s.

I couldn't help but feel that life is so unpredictable. One moment you are alive, the other moment, you might be gone. You would never know which day is THE DAY. If we know when is our turn to go, perhaps we would all live differently, making different choices in our life.

I do not know when is THE DAY for me. I intend not to dwell on it but to "embrace" it, by living the best that I can everyday. I hope that when THE DAY comes, I can leave this world with no regrets.....

Reborn

Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn. -Mahatma Gandhi

我是一个幸福的“孩子”

在我懂事以来，妈妈从未抱过我，也不曾说过她爱我们。可我们姐弟三人都晓得妈妈很疼我们，也知道不管发生什么事，她都会默默支持我们。近来，我遇到好多不如意的事，妈妈总是在一旁聆听，听完后，有时鼓励我，有时则“骂”我。今天，她和爸爸又用他们那特别的方式来安慰我，来关心我。他们大老远买了一包小时候我喜欢吃的福建虾面，并送到我家楼下来。这已经不是第一次了。上回，我感到失落时，他们也买了我小时，常吃的卤面给我吃。一包虾面虽不是什么山珍海味，但它包含了父母对我的关爱。这一顿晚餐，我吃得好开心。那一包虾面，使我感觉到幸福。。。。。。

Tensions of the opposites

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. ....A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle..... - quote from " Tuesdays with Morrie".

Making a will

Told my friend that I am going to make a will. That frightens the hell out of her. She thinks that I going to do something stupid. I told her I am ok. I won't "sentence" myself to death before god says so. Things aren't that bad. Whatever happens, it won't be the end of the world.
Quote from the book"Tuesdays with Morrie" : Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently......To know you are going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time. That's better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life while you are living....."

Grandma

I loved my grandma a lot. Never knew that till the day she died. That was twenty years ago. Can never forget her looks, her smile. Whenever I feel depressed, I will miss her even more. My husband said when one died, that's it. No heaven nor hell. I, on the other hand, choose to believe there is heaven and there is hell. It gives me hope and keeps me going. That the loved ones that are long gone are somewhere out there, and one day, we will meet again.

Wisdom

May god grant me the courage to change the things I can,
the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
and the wisdom to see the difference.
