新年 2017 ( 第二個BLOG)

十四天的過年，一下子就過了。 今年，我还是有机会到我小姑那里去拜年。有和父亲讲起，但他还是一样脸黑黑(就是不要出门)，心里想，一个人不想自助的话，有谁能够帮他呢？自已帮不了，只有希望上天加灵了。

早上，我决定搭工共交通工具去到punggol去找我的小姑。虽然所用的时间多出一倍，但当做吃风，也是一件好事。也顺便可以搭LRT. 到那里已经是1015分了。很意外有看到我的大姑和他的孩子(表哥-AH Boon Keng 和表弟 (Ah Zhu)。他们不但结婚了，女儿都长大了。有和他们交谈一下，也不错吧。反观，小姑的两个好女儿(表姐)(ah feng 和 ah Mi), 静静地坐在一边，不像是亲戚的样子。之后，自已还是过去讲几句话，但反应不太好。算子，没话讲就不好太勉强。到1215分就回了。

礼拜天，自已也有过去二伯那里拜年。有看到阿ni 堂哥，也拿了两个红包。二伯母有问起我的父亲，也是好事。她也留了两大包铁罐(ALU CAN), 让父亲可以拿去卖。亲戚能关心一下也是好事。或许是很久没有见面了．所以没有什麽话题讲，只能看电视节目，坐了45分就回了。

这一次过年，共收到了22个红包(共428元)。有多的，也有少的。但我觉得心意最重要。我把全部放在一面来拆，就不会知道，谁给多少钱(少一些比较的心态吧)。这笔钱就省下来，准备六月份时买车的费用。

日语方面，终于拿到了2月28号, 回到LINGO去读 Pre intermediate 1. 花了350元，政府的钱听说只可以用在basic而已，想想，花点钱，只希望学过的东西，不要忘记，和自已说，努力再努力。

接下来，情人节就要到了。每年在这段时候，就特别想有一个恋情。我的朋友．和我喜欢的人，不是已经和别人拍拖了，不然就是开始拍拖了。除了为他们开心之外，对自已单身还有有些伤感。前几天，忍不住SIGN UP gaigai offline dating platform. 23号要去到那里的办工室面试。心里不免担心多多，会不找到一个女友呢？还是要花很多钱？不论如何，乐观，走一步、看一步。没有希望，就不会失望，就当做拿了经验，用来写BLOG就好。

有空的时候，尽量找东西学，不论是学日语、学画脸、学唱歌等笒，只要忙多一些，恋爱的慾望就少一些。学会「永言配命，自求多福。」

最后，情人节要到了，祝我的朋友(和我喜欢的远方女孩)有一个快乐的情人节，祝春敏、妙娴、佳敏、礼宣、等等，情人节快乐。当然也要祝贺自已开心。今年送花是没有希望了，就送给自已吧。

写到这里，一个人也可以很开心的 , God bless all the time

新的一年(雞年有機會)

很快的，新的一年又来了。送走了猴年，迎来了鸡年。今年对自已来说，是不是一个好的运程呢？看看星座，有说到事业运、财运和感情运都很好，但健康方面就要注意一下。和自已说，不是只相信星座而已，更要相信「心善则命好」，能自我反省，有错要改，好事多做，则命运不会坏到那里去。乐观加多运动，身体也会比较健康。保持一点希望(世上是有奇迹的)，希望今年会有恋爱。以往没有的勇气和信心，很多东西只能等待，喜欢的人不敢表白，只能远远的看着她笑。今年会不会有脑带接错线，做了一些让对方生气的事(表白)呢？但想想，这样的事，也是要有机缘，遇不到机缘，想讲都没有机会。慢慢等吧，等久就有。

新年的第一天，在家。没有出去拜年(在家做重要的事)，也没有人来自已家拜年。看样子，会和以往的几年都一样(没有人来拜年)。但乐观一些，人家不来，我出去(拜年)，去了三位朋友的家，也是好事(收了一些红包)。初三也是忙碌的一天，下午去到同学家(Gouliang)家拜年。那里坐了2个多小时，有看到好几位以前中学的同学。大家都在讲买屋子的事情(自已几时会买呢？)再想想吧，也有看到raine吧, 她已经两个孩子的妈了，时间也过得真快。有玩一下牌，没有希望会赢，没有输就好了。到1715分才回。

初四晚上，有和母亲去两个邻居家拜年。楼上的邻居有问起自已几时结婚(大概只有长辈会问的问题吧)，也有建议，可以找越南的女孩。自已在想，可能吗？最少在想像的未来，不会考虑吧。如果是单身的命(也就算了)。但有人会问，总是一件好的事情 (只为朋友们从来不会问自已这样的问题，或许也相信是不会有人喜欢的)

有空的时候，都处走走，有去一下jurong point。傍晚，有去日本花圆运动一下，很久没有跑步了，现在的自已只可以慢跑吧，拍了一些照片，让自已开心， 和自已说，只有做对的东西，就足够了。诗云：「永言配命，自求多福」

写到这里，一个人也要很开心，God bless all the time

新年前馬六甲之行 (2017)

今年新年前，我依旧和以往一样回到马六甲去看我的外公和二姨，反正新年期间没有办法回，只能这样的时间回去。早上0605分出门，到JB 已经0810分了，很幸运的搭到0830分的车。但巴士迟来，到了近0850分才到。整个行程都好吧，到马六甲已经1150分了。

汉忠表弟有载自已到他的挡位去吃午餐。之后，自已有在附近走一下，但实在是没有东西可以看，便和汉忠见议，自已下午就在二姨家(就不去那里了)。下午有看到外公，他身体还好吧，但眼力好像退步了，有听他讲话，也是好事。 下午在二姨休息。晚上去剪头髮，之后去到养生那里吃饭，有看到当时和自已去桂林旅行的小弟弟(宏明)和他姐姐(过了三年，也长高了不少)。没想到，他把自已忘了，还好他姐姐有记得自已一下吧。晚上有走一下百货商场才回。

第二天，汉忠表弟没有作生意，带自已去走。首先我们先到一个不知名的海边，那里有人在跑马拉松，走了十五分钟，但也没有什麽可以看的，海边也太髒了，没有拍照。本来要去一个他们也没去过的地方，叫海南村，汉忠没有准备地图，走了一个小时，都找不地点。问人也不得要领。最后决定放弃，找了一个地方吃午餐。才回到二姨那里。到下午4点就回新加坡了，结束了这一次马六甲之行。感想是，虽然没有去到海南村，都还得感谢表弟的用心，就当作「吃风」吧。

昨天晚上，我的车又出问题了。晚上和朋友(司徒先生和圣喜)驾车去到后港的白事，晚上的雨还下得真大。回的时候，不知在那里，后车轮爆胎(好像被什麽硬的东西弄破，在停车场就不能走了。心里有种不能言语的难过，司徒先生和圣喜想办法换备胎时，才发现车上没有必要的工具，轮胎拿不下来。心里想，人到了非常倒霉的时候，还真的是天下无敵。

还好的是清泉(上一次修车的朋友)也有去白事。他帮自已打电话找救兵，本来要找人来换轮胎，但价钱也太贵了(80元)。之后只能找人来拖车(50元)，拖去paya lebar的轮胎店去修理。到那里已是0045分了。一看才发现轮胎没法修，只能换一个，又是破财的时候了，还好换了一个旧的(70元)。

换到来也是早上一点多了，之后才送两位朋友回。路上有朋友的鼓励，司徒先生也帮自已给了大半的钱了，自已还能讲什麽呢？但還是要感謝朋友的几句話，今年還是要忍好几下吧。

相信今年将是一个非常困难的一年，什麽都要忍，忍一下就过了。什麽事18年再来想吧，不会谈恋爱的，一个人也要很开心。过年多半呆在家里吧，振作也是好事。写到这里。

Some unfortunate things ( jan 2017)

Last wedesday evening , my car broke down for the 5th time in less then half a year. The warning lights for ABS / EPS and battery came out showing some serious problem. I wouldn’t want to risk driving, and the car battery may become flat anytime. I called my friend and they suggest I should get a tow vehicle immediately as my car was in the carpark that wouldn’t allow night parking for non residents (some stupid rules from the HDB) . the car was towed to Yishun within an hour.

The next day, I went to Yishun to collect my vehicle . I was told that the battery was spoilt and the person changed one working battery for free , but the manpower cost to be 25 dollars and the towing cost is 55 , adding up to 80 dollars . As I thoughts things would get better, the problem comes back while I drove to Kallang ( for something). The ABS lights and battery lights come out on and off, the tachrometer and speed meter at times not working at all. Since I cannot park at Kallang place, my friend suggest I should drive back home. Fortunately , I managed to tahan till home

On Friday morning , I drive my car to another workshop in Old toh Tuck Rd. The battery went deteriorate very fast , and it went flat before I could reach the venue. I waited for 10 minutes before a kind hearted uncle stop down to help me jump start on the car. The car finally moved and within minutes (5 minutes after 7 oclock ), I reached the workshop ( for the sixth repair of the year)

In the evening, I went to collect my car again. Fortunately, the cost isn’t high as the mechanic just changed a charging relay and a belt (100 dollars in all ) and the car is ok again. Looking forward, I can only drive the car for 2 more months (which I have to scrap before 25th march 2017). I can only hope that the car can tahan for the next 2 months without more failures ( but if it fails again, I might have to spit “blood” again

Japanese study wise, I didn’t managed to make to Bunka Language school as I failed the placement test. As I won’t want to start from basic one again , so I ruled out going to the orchard Rd school . the next option is for me to return to Lingo , but then , there were no opening for pre-intermediate one for now, I have to wait for two weeks or see to see if there is any new openings. But no matter what will happen in the future, I would still strive to learn better Japanese.

Finally, I should strive to be positive all the time despite a diffcult year for 2017. The quote I remember . I always learn things in a hard way , and in all these hard ways I strive to learn as much. 所謂，「邪來煩腦至，正來煩腦除。」。學會一個人也要很開心。God bless all the time

placement test at Bunka

Last Saturday , I went to a placement test(elementary 3) at Bunka japanese school. I made the appointment online at the bunka website . the available time slot was between 1pm to 6pm, I thought it would be a good idea to book somewhere in between(3pm) and maybe I could walk around orchard.

I left my house around 1310 hours and reached orchard MRT around 1410. I tried to walk around but nothing really interest probably I didn’t plan to buy anything. On the ouside, I didn’t managed to see any new year decorations for me to take photo.

I reached the school at 1445 hours. One male staff attended to me , giving me the test papers and leading me to a small classroom to do the test. Whole of the test were full of hiragana and katakana (no English or Kanji) and there were no teachers to explain on how to do the test . The paper lasted more than 1 hours , from 2.45pm to 3.55pm. It was very difficult paper. There were 4 parts of the test. First part was filling in the blanks for connecting words (で、は、が、に、etc) , which I could only do slightly more than half . the second part is find opposite phase (for example beautiful = ugly ), I managed to most of them except ( delicious = ??) .

The third part is comprehension, I was surprised that there were such difficult questions in basic 3 test. I roughly understand the comprehension , but to answer the question ( right or wrong ) proves difficult as I make several guess. The forth part proves most difficult on the counting part. Of the 10 questions, I probably cant even get one right.

I managed to complete around 1555 hours. The teacher was not around to mark my papers , and I was told to wait for a few days for the results. It seems I will miss the class E3 which starts on 11 jan 2017, but there I should not worry too much , lets wait for the school to reply. But then I still write some Japanese so that I can improve from time to time

最後の土曜日の午後, 私は日本の学校でテストを受けました。 テストは1時間くらいで、三 時 から四時までです。テストはとても難しかったので、質問の半分はわかりませんでした。 ,特に(計数部) です 。たとえば、三( )ご飯、四( )卵、 五 ( ) 階段です

和自已說，當不開心的時候，靜下來就看書。開心的時候，就幻想，就努力去學習應該學的東西。四月想想欧洲之行(意大利、德國)，只希望我喜歡的遠方女孩，她們都會開心吧。什麼事開不開心都會過的，一個人也要很開心。Yvonne Yap 的生日要要到了(17 Jan)，希望她過得很好。(happy birthday)。God bless everytime , all the time

A good start for the new year 2017

For the last day of 2016, I didn’t really go anyway except a visit to jurong point at the late hours . The place wasn’t as noisy as I thought of (probably because the venue wasn’t chosen as a count down venue). I didn’t go to the old boon Lay (for the countdown event) as I wouldn’t want to go there alone. Thus I spent the last one hour of the year watching YouTube at home (Yan and the Japanese people) (learning Japanese).

I msg several people using face book or whatsapp etc, and several people replied thank you. Some of these replies (from 春敏, 妙嫻，禮宣，etc) still makes me a little happier than usual

For the first day of the New Year, I spent the morning going to my dad’s house, and the afternoon doing housecleaning. Only when I do housecleaning, things that I thought is missing for several months suddenly appear (春聯) 。I gathered and reviewed the number of diaries I have written only the 18 years, some memories unforgettable. I relocate them in a new place and I should read them whenever am free

On the second day of the New Year, I went to Chinese garden for a QSN activity. It’s a good start for a New Year as we gather to prepare for the Chinese New Year song. Guess what. Friends are sometimes useful when coming together to do meaningful things.

Looking forward, I should still strive to be quiet most of the time and learn as much as I can. I should be going to Japanese placement test this coming Saturday at Bunka language school.

For my wishes, I should write in Japanese

みなさんは, 明けましておめでとう 新年の願い, 世界平和を欲しいで、そして今年、彼女はあります 今で、貯金で、のでこの四月, 韓国に旅行んです

一個人也會很開心，God bless every time , all the time
