I would like to wish my 姑姑 a Happy Birthday! (I have 3 姑姑s and I only call this one 姑姑, the others get a prefix before the 姑姑) She's brought me up since I was a baby! Some history about me, I was fostered out to my 姑姑's place from birth to 9 years old because both my parents had to work. I used to take the bicycle to Nursery and Kindergarten classes! Subsequently, my mom quit her job and I moved back home! And let's see what, when I was staying at my 姑姑's place, there were 7 kids running around the house! LOL!

Snip!
I cut my hair! =D Now's it as short as I kept it when I was five, or even shorter, I reckon. I think I like my new hair!
The reason why I cut my hair? Because I saw Lam Lam cut hers too! And I am a copycat!
曲名: 你是此生最美的风景 歌手: JS 专辑: 你是此生最美的风景
还记得那年的夏天 椰子树占据了海边 太阳光灿烂得刺眼 你轻轻吻了我的脸 飞机越过海面 划下微笑弧线 就在一瞬间 你和我之间 相隔一个世纪般遥远 幻想的时间 却带不走回忆里的画面 你是此生最美的风景 让我心碎却如此着迷 就算世界动荡 再绝望也有微笑的勇气 你是此生最美的风景 才令我至今一再想起 这样爱过一个人 是多幸福的事情 后来我们又再遇见 虽然成熟了些 笑容却都没变 就在那瞬间 有很多感觉 排山倒海湮没了视线 你没有开口 紧紧地拥抱着却意味深远 你是此生最美的风景 让我心碎却如此着迷 就算世界动荡 再绝望也有微笑的勇气 你是此生最美的风景 才令我至今一再想起 这样爱过一个人 是多幸福的事情 以为时间可以 像沙滩和潮汐 拭去回忆痕迹 Wo 我们 如果不曾分离 我不会发现 最後回到原地 还是最爱你 你是此生最美的风景 让我心碎却如此着迷 就算世界动荡 再绝望也有微笑的勇气 你是此生最美的风景 才令我至今一再想起 这样爱过一个人 是多幸福的事情

帽子的尺寸
没有这么大的头, 就不要戴这么大的帽.
没有能力给予孩子好的生活, 就不要以为自己可以. "好的生活"的定义不会很过分, 起码要有一个舒适, 能供孩子们读书, 学习, 成长, 玩耍, 娱乐的环境, 也包括可以让孩子们无忧的微笑, 尽情地随着岁月长大的地方. 这样的完美定义, 或许对许多父母来说, 是可遇不可求的, 但是对孩子们来说, 它却是一种对父母的期待与盼望. 在新加坡, 这样的生活, 不算是奢侈, 因为这是本地基本的生活素质. 我们从小计算吧:
0 - 3 岁: 给予良好的营养, 育婴的温馨环境, 让孩子么感受父母无私的爱.
4 - 6 岁: 让孩子们接受幼稚园教育, 让他们认识新朋友, 他们才不会对陌生人有恐惧感.
7 - 18 岁: 给孩子们上小学, 中学和初级学院, 让他们拥有适当的自由和能力, 交到好朋友, 建立自己的社交圈子.
19 - 22: 让孩子上大学, 学费不应该是他们的负担.
如果想要带大帽, 不是不可以, 但一定要可以为孩子们做点什么.
懂事的孩子们会了解, 不需要每个周末都一定要一家人出门逛街, 不需要每个学校假期都出国旅游, 不需要每天的零用钱和其他小孩一样多, 不需要每天回家都有女佣伺候, 不需要有华丽的衣服, 不需要有豪华的汽车接送. 孩子们都了解这些了, 做父母的, 也是否能了解孩子们想要的呢?
帽子已经买了大号, 不可以因为头太小而把帽子改小号. 等吧, 再多等一会儿, 当帽子们都渐渐认为是时候飞向天空时, 头终于可以不用再戴上帽子.

You Haven't Seen A Virgo More Defensive
I bet you haven't seen a virgo more defensive than me. Yes, the barrier which I am putting around myself is high up and almost impenetrable. Hardly anyone can transcend my physical and psychological limits and reach out to my inner being. And lies, they come as a form of joke, they are a means of protecting myself, they prevent me from exposing too much of myself to the people around me. I do not lie to hurt others, I lie to ensure I am defended, I lie as fun, as a way to protect others from the harsh and cruel truth. Mr Eko is right in saying, "I will not confess as I have done no wrong." The world has been brought to me and Mr Eko in such a sense that if we do not do something to protect ourselves, no one else will.
People have to go through rough patches to grow up and learn. Lives lead on a smooth-sailing road can never be as fruitful and meaningful as one that teaches the truths of life. As I have once complained, money doesn't come easy to me. Neither does it go easily from me. But these days, prices are increasing faster you can read this sentence. And all along I do not come from a family of daughters who buy make-up, clothes, accessories, food, toys, jewellery, stationery, etc as and when we like. So stop commenting that I have been spending unrestrictedly without basis. Frugality has all along been our way of life and it will continue to be but I must emphasize that this world is changing and we have to move on. Not everything can remain as a pass-it-on or a share-among-the-sisters. As much as I know money isn't something that falls like rain, when it is absolutely essential to spend, money has to go out of the pocket. There is no point being a miser and no point being a spendthrift as well. So long as I spend within my means and ensure that I do not have negative income, I am fine.
Sorry if I keep defending myself, a happier post at the Guai Gia Committee blog soon! Cause it's the Bu Liu Mings' NDP Outing 2008!

Happy 43rd National Day
Singapore is becoming a mature island and people are growing up.
How do people change as they grow up? Besides physical changes, I feel the psychological changes and intellectual changes are more important in the growing up stage of people. During this period, people will tend to think differently. They may think that their past behaviour was crap and begin to carry themselves in a different manner. They may think that their past circle of friends was too small and hope to expand it by interacting with more people. "Some people may have a great deal of friends but keeping in contact with them is another matter." Maintaining friendships is an art and it involves a lot of interpersonal skills. A simple gesture of friendliness on MSN can bring another warmth but constant Alt-F4-ing without reply is something which makes people feel one's unfriendliness. Guilty of that, I shan't say more. I hope if I have grown up, it will be for the better.
And with greater money comes greater expenditure. Is that a symptom of growing up as well, spending more? My contact lenses are running out, hence the need to buy more. Plus the voucher which I have gotten from NUS Matriculation Fair, it seemed that it was a good deal. Fair enough, I bought another 6 months supply of lenses at $180. And I calculated my transport costs for this upcoming academic year. I will need to spend an average of $80.40 per month travelling. This is saddening. Can a poor University student survive on $100 a month for food and stationery and books? Money is really running out these days. Gimme more money!
In any case, Happy 43rd Birthday, Singapore.

The Universe Has A Way Of Cause-Correcting
Desmond David Hume on Lost III: The universe has a way of cause-correcting.
This is the answer to whether there is such a thing as Fate or Destiny. If a person is fated to do a particular thing at a particular time, he or she has to do it. Just like Charlie in the show, he was destined to die and he died despite the many attempts by Desmond to save him. Life has already been pre-destined by Heaven. We can change minor details here and there like our hairstyle, our dress sense but ultimately, our lives are fixed. In some way or another, I believe in Fate too. That's why people meet, that's why people come together as family, as relatives, as friends and as acquaintances.
If Heaven has planned for me to do certain things, I'll do them. Because the universe has a way of cause-correcting, no matter how hard people try to go against Fate, I believe they are not going to succeed.
Accept Fate as it comes because it is Destiny that any thing happens.
And somehow it is Destiny that I wrote my insights here after watching Episode 8 of Lost III.
