Dreams to Pursue

A good ex-colleague of mine has been unwell lately.
I really wish that she will recover soon - and the goddess of mercy will protect/take good care of her. She is certainly a GOOD WOMAN, and she has dreams that she holds endearly.
Lesson : Cherish our living moments to pursue our dreams.

Lost Weight

Met some ex-colleagues on Thu (at a course at CSC) and they exclaimed that I have lost weight.
Yes, I did and I know ...cos, I am cutting down on intake of meat, and consuming more vege (and fish - esp lately cos of my fall and scarred face).... I am recovering.
I think I have lost more than 2-3 kg since last year... Not too good a sign thou for a 40-year man...haha

TW Idol Dramas

For the past few weeks, I was hooked to Taiwan Idol Dramas starring Ethan Ruan. He is really a good actor, I feel. First, I bought his record-breaking drama at $15 - Fated to Love you/You are my Destiny...very nice, and infact, I watched it over 6 nights and completed 24 episodes...and that probably made me tired in the day. Then, I realised that YouTube has the shows... wow, the power of YT, now, I am watching his latest drama - My Queen on YT. This show is also showing on Starhub 56. Very nice. I attach the link below ...Enjoy!

Recovering

Yes, I am recovering, in case my friends are worried, after a day of rest at home today.
I am not sure if the wound will heal completely but for sure, I have learnt a lesson - the hard way.

There goes MY FACE!

Those who know me will know how much I spend to 'maintain' my face ... and I have been complimented by so many people for my youthful look and good complexion.
21 May 2009, 2pm - My life changed, and my face is ...sob sob.
Due to a moment of folly and god decides, I fell at the cement ground and suffered a bad scratch/bruise on my left side of my face. I didn't cry as I was shocked!
I shall not dwell much what led to it - I ran or rather sped, in my working attire, and somehow...I fell flat and suffered 'skin torn' on my palms, my knee caps (trousers torn a bit)... and my most precious face. and my spectacles fell a distance. Just imagine, I picked myself up, covered my face, ran to the toilet and exclaimed - my FACE. My colleagues quickly apply antiseptic and I dashed to the doctor to check that I am not scarred...He say dun worry - just superficial scratches, will heal with no scars....I don't think I will post the photo here, else, my readers will faint - this handsome uncle prince's face is 'disfigured'....
I hope it will heal ...and i know there will be marks on it ..... anyway, maybe cos I am nearing 40, I am learning to 'see beyond'... I am glad to be living, looks are exterior.

V

V can be for victory. If that is so, then probably, I will have to work harder to see victory.
V can be for virus. That is bad, cos it is affecting the health of many, it is sad to see them suffer.
V can be for venom. That is dangerous as such pple harms others...in a school environment, we dun see many thou.
V can be for vicious. That is a sad cycle, as the dis-intact will affect the young, and they will grow up being so, we can see that manifesting ....it is sad....sometimes, I wonder should resources be channeled to preventive work (to prevent it from happening) or remedial work (to save them or prevent worsening).... are we doing enough for this group and if we dun do so, will the repurcussions be even stronger as opposed to the still-intact break up? That is debate-able. My current job has allowed me to see the latter. It affects me.

SCreeaammm....stop asking me to scribe!!

Last straw...I am not sure why my P always ask me to scribe. I hate it cos I dun like to write.
Why should I be the one writing/scribing when I am supposedly in the middle/upper mgt in my job. Why me? Just because I write good notes (aftermath) or good minutes?
I left my earlier job cos I felt that my forte wasn't writing papers, speeches, proposals...and now, I am still writing and I have tolerated it for the past 10 months.
Maybe, I am paid 'that much' so, I have to learn to enjoy writing ...but again, why always me??!!
Felt very pissed off. If I love writing and reading, I would have stayed on ot moved on to do policy work liao lor...
**Fuming**

Song 13 [Chinese] : 夢醒了 Awakened

This is a nice song... and yes, i have awakened from my dreams and certainly, i am moving on.

我想起你描述夢想天堂的樣子
手指著遠方畫出一棟一棟房子
你傻笑的表情又那麼誠實
所有的信任是從那一刻開始

你給我一個到那片天空的地址
只因為太高摔得我血流不止
帶著傷口回到當初背叛的城市
唯一收容我的卻是自己的影子

想跟著你一輩子　至少這樣的世界沒有現實
想賴著你一輩子　做你感情裡最後一個天使
如果夢醒時還在一起　請容許我們相依為命　
絢爛也許一時　平淡走完一世　

是你選擇我這樣的男子　就怕夢醒時已分兩地
誰也挽不回這場分離　愛恨可以不分
責任可以不問　天亮了
你還是不是我的女人　

Fairyland and Castle

Many dramas and stories told and said about fairy tales. I dun think fairyland and castle exist cos, I know I have not found them as yet. Sometimes, I wish I can .... but I know I aint no Prince nor Knight. I live in a real world leading a simple life surrounded with varied story tales to be told. Sad to say, I feel too tired to hear or lend my helping hands. I think it is time to .....

TV worm

My girl says that she is a book worm, and so is my wife.
My boy is a toy worm and certainly, I am a TV worm ...hahaha
Since young, I am a big fan of TV - local, TVB (cantonese). Japanese ... sad that I am not an actor ..haha
Recently, I am looked to Taiwanese Idol Drama - the ToGetHer which ended recently on Channel U was good....
Yest, I bought a top-viewed Drama starring Ethan Ruan...surprisingly, I have been watching it non-stop till now (past 1am liao.... at Episode 7 out of 24)
http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Fated_To_Love_You
Though it may be a bit 'drama-ma and hokkienish' but the messaging is very good ...about parenthood, marriage education and parenting ...I don't think it was intended so but somehow, through the first 7 episodes, I was captivated by the acting and the messages.
I think MCorp may not screen it as there is a fair bit of hokkien in the show which it would lose the favour if dubbed.
Certainly, THUMBS UP for the show ...i just realised that maybe, I have the flair to act in such shows too ...cos...haha

Bus Rides

Today, I stole time for myself ...to meet an 'old friend' for lunch at Hans near Raffles Place, visit the temple, go VIVO City to check out some FS products, go POPULAR at Toa Payoh and home by 7pm...
Instead of driving which can be stressful, I took public transport - mrt and bus. I have alwayed enjoyed bus rides ...cos, I can just plugged on my ear phones and watch the 'buildings go by, look at people, think through things ... indeed, there are so much changes to the CBD Raffles Place ...new shops, new buildings,...it has been more than 8 years since I worked there....at least in my last job, I am somewhat near town ...in this job, i am like relegated to the mountains ... so out of touch with CITY ...haha
I tot that I am a CITY guy ...I just realised that I am not ...I have lost touch with so many things and now, I think I am like a real UNCLE liao ...so obiang ...so lost.
I hope that one day, I can get back to the city soon, real soon.

1 Clap, 1 Clap, 2 Claps,

haha, the above is what we do to 'quieten' the kids ...
it works, depends on how you say it.
it doesn't really work when I say it.
that means...i shouldn't be doing what i do...haha

kids are active these days...
they just run and run and run ...such that one or two will fall and bleed.
why can't they be angels like me? so well-behaved....sigh.

Hijacked my Bed

Yes, my princess has hijacked my bed in the master bedroom for almost ...whoa ...3 years. That means, she has hijacked my sleeping companion for the past 1,000 days...I believe I am certainly a celibracy by now ...haha

Now, I am so used to sleeping alone, in a single bed, and no longer yearn for a sleeping companion.

Maybe, this same theory applies to jobs....we will get used to it someday, somehow. That's life.
At the end of the day, we may wanna ask ourselves - what is it that we want in life, go and pursue it.

Long Weekend

Most guys, especially army boys, look forward to looong weekend.
Most working adults, do too....to shop, to spend time with family etc...
For me ... this weekend is dread for me....reports, work calls, etc....
I am feeling tired and also sneezy.
Trying hard to bring a smile to my face.
