眼睛

一位好久不见的老同学写了这首诗：

眼睛，黑白分明。
告诉我们，
黑白，要分得清。

好话、坏话

谎话，我不会说。好听的话，我不会说。我自小性格直率，想什么说什么。妈妈经常说我有时说话没有经过大脑，该说的说，不该说的也照说。
踏入社会后，我这“优点”成了我的绊脚石。我不会“做人”，不会说奉承的话，有时更掩盖不了自己的情绪。就因为如此，我不时在不知不觉中得罪了人也不晓得。虽然说几句“好听”的话，我的“路”会更平坦，更“光明”，但是我却坚持自己的信念。对就是对，错就是错，好就是好，不好就是不好，何必睁着眼睛说瞎话呢！至于得罪别人，我一向不怎么在乎这一点。 要小心翼翼才能维持的关系 —— 我不需要。

Turkey - jewel of the Asian and European Continent.

I have never been to Turkey before and before this trip, I do not know much about this country except that Turkey tried hard to get into EU but was rejected (I read this somewhere). After going there, I am glad I chose Turkey as my holiday destination.
Turkey has a bit of almost everything. Turkey is rich in its history and culture. It has a unique blend of eastern and western culture. It is a Muslim country but it is not ruled by Muslim law. It has mosques that are more than thousand years old, ruins from the Greek as well as churches, caves and underground city that was bulit way before Christ. Mesmerizing, is the one word that can describe Turkey. The standard of living there is almost the same as in Singapore, but the salary which the people are getting can be quite miserable. The pay of a teacher is around 1000YTL ( around $1000 ) and an engineer is 1500YTL. The locals are extremely friendly, especially the children. They are always eager to help and happy to chat. Although most of their time, we have to guess what they are trying to say, we can sensed that sincerity and friendship. These are the people who are poor in the pockets but rich in the hearts......

I am back!!!

I am back from Turkey! Will upload pics and tell more later on. As for now, I just wanted to have a good night sleep......
