大选，国家的前途，人民的未来

五年一次的大选又来了。这一次的反对党总算进步了，在87个议席当中，成功挑战82个议席。除了丹戎巴葛集选区以外，其他的新加坡公民都有机会选择国家未来的领导人，投下明智的一票。

在看这些反对党的素质。有的反对党如(工人党) 作了好几年的努力。有反对党在大选的最后几天发生了内部分争，也有一些党最后一分钟，还得靠借人员才能 「竞选」成功。不论成绩如何，我还是要感谢这些出来竞选的「勇士」 。因为有的选，我们才知道多少人是支持行动党的，而多少人不是。


讲到最好的反对党，大概就是工人党吧，刘程强先生走出后港，走向阿裕尼集选区，相信是工人党最大的挑战。也是这一次大选最激烈的一场选战。或许，工人党会得到六个议席(加上后港)。但也有可能全盘皆输。再加上詹时中先生又到了非常困难的碧山—大巴窑集选区竞选。这一次，反对党大概以破釜沉舟的方式来打这场选战，不成功就成仁。


虽然我本身不是阿裕尼集选区或碧山—大巴窑集选区的选民，不能帮到以上的反对党，但我还是希望他们可以胜出。不然，如果新加坡没有反对党，下一次大选，没有人站起来「竞选」。到时，就真的是行动党的天下，成了「不用选，而自动中选的「民主制」国家」。


只想讲一句话，反对党！加油！这一次看你们了，(希望工人党下一次会来裕廊来竞选吧)

lazy 的毛病

近來有些lazy 和lag。東西本來應該早就可以做好，但一直有"很多時間"的錯誤觀念
到了最後一分鐘，忽然來了很多不如意的事，如忘了帶"thumb drive"，要不然，一些資料，不知跑到那里了。最後一分鐘，才來緊張。我真的要改變不好的習慣。把重要的事，馬上做好，才不會有問題。

近來在FB 看到很多朋友outing 的照片，想一下，我已好一些時間沒outing 了，不懂下一個outing 是几時，我就是不會organise, 只好等朋友來叫自已去。但告訴自已，如果沒有人叫自已去，也不好”不請自去”，做人樂觀一些，沒有出門的日子，就可以省錢。在家看書，打fb 也會很開心的

GOD BLESS

情人節 2011

今天是情人節，今年還是和往年一樣，沒有情人。但常常告訴自已，今天我還是可以過得很開心
什麼是「愛」，愛要從自已開始，愛自已就不會做出傷害自已的東西，要為自已多做一些有意義的事情。不要為還沒有來的東西而難過。要為擁有的東西(家人和朋友) 而珍惜現在。
今天把時間忙完，不去想，就不會難過。自然就會開心。

新年的十五天很快就要過了。還好昨天有一群朋友來拜年，終于打破雞蛋了。朋友的一點心意，會有很大的感動。謝謝大家

最後，今年沒有送花的對象，也沒有人送花給自已。不如就自已送給自已吧




祝自已情人節快樂

新的一年(兔年)

新年很快又結束了。回顾一下，自已也過了相當忙碌的五天。在想，過年能忙一些時間出去拜年也是一件好事。初一在家。初二去了六位朋友家拜年，意外拿到了好一些紅包。雖然我還沒有打開這些紅包看看里面的內容，但和自已說，紅包重要的是祝福。自已這把年龄可以拿到紅包，已經很不錯了。今年終于去到了豪喜叔叔和利吉的家拜年(也是好事)。 不太好的地方是今年沒有人到自已的家拜年。希望明年會有 :-)

情人節要來了。對自已而言，又將是沒有情侣的一年。想想一下，自已一個人也可以很開心。已經有几年，沒有可以想追的對像，或許應該去SDU看一下？等到下半年再想吧。不想就不會有問題。不好自尋煩惱。希望在明年。

雨過天晴

上個禮拜，我花了一些時間回到馬六甲。只是可惜天不作美，從星期六，我進去那一天，就下雨到我出來(星期日)。除了晚了，漢忠表弟帶我去附近的百貨公司以外，其他時間，都在二姨家過

我的二舅一樣沒有空，所以又看不到他和麗君表妹，大概又要等下一次了。還好在我還在車站的時候，買了兩個禮物。只有滄海的禮物買不到，希望新加坡能買的到

新年又要來了，希望可以有多一些拜年。去馬來西亞的計划已經取消了，在家里也不錯。
想這句話「雨過天晴」，下了几天的大雨也造就了新年的几天晴天。做人只要樂觀，沒有過不了的路。在這里，祝我的朋友新年快樂，大家再努力 :)

first blog 2011

The start of the year is fairly OK
there was one instance , where one of my colleague overheard my conversation with the Town council regarding the the water valve outside my house ( which I could not turn off the valve , in so that I could not change the tap inside my house), he offered some suggestion and even helped to buy a connector that can do the job. Although the connector was a little too big to be of any help, but I must say that I do appreciate his help very much.

Work wise, still bearable. I have yet to start finding job. Would I start finding? I just have to see the possibility after new year

maple wise, without any 2X, I typically only train 30min a day ( gaining only 2% a day). With this pace, I might end up only to be able to do one level in 50 days? Really looking for the next 2x coming :)

New year is coming. I am trying come out with some plans to Bai nian, but the response is fairly poor.
I guess as long I try my best, that's nothing to be sad of. After all, I have prepared Plan “A”, Plan “B” etc. if nothing works, I should find time to play Maple at home. GOD bless all the time

final part, valentines coming again , just hope I do have a date this time ( if not next time also can)

cheers

回顧2010年

在看著2009的blog的時候，發現日子過得很快，又一年了。我又老了一歲了。
人是變老了，但是否變的比較成熟了呢？

工作還是一樣，或許這份工作有它的好處。拿假容易吧，年底又拿了六天假，去我想要去的地方。告訴自已，樂觀還是好的。

maple 方面，從年頭到現在，提升了16個等級。或許在別人的眼里，可能很慢，但對自已來講，已經很不錯了。最近，guild master "APPLE" 回來了，GUILD 有了比較多的活動，也是好事吧

朋友方面，得罪過的人，關係還是沒變好。道德經有曰，「和大怨，必有餘怨。」得罪過的人，就算道歉了，怨氣也不這麼容易就消去的。所以，告訴自已，做人不可以做錯東西。」得罪過的人，不會再回來了，現有的朋友要珍惜 :)

感情方面，一樣沒變，就是沒有。把今年的願望放到明年，緣份"自然"就會有。
就慢慢等吧

december update ( 2010)

I have not been playing football for a very long while. But I managed to get the chance to play with my colleagues in office last Friday. An hour of street soccer on the tennis court with around 9 of my colleagues left me exhausted. I guess my stamina has dropped tremendously , I should find time to start exercise more regularly

I went to company Dinner and dance on the same nite. Unfortunately , I was fairly a bit sick ( with some fever) thus didn’t really enjoy myself.

during one of the games, i was being selected to be the one on each table to do some "stunts" (so call). the last part was to get 3 kisses from a gal on the same table. there were only a lady ( francis's wife )and she found it inappropriate to kiss me, so she use her lipstck to draw 3 marks on my face. unfortunatly, this can't deceive the clever organiser ( in which i was being knocked out). althought i didn;t win any prize but i get some good experience :)





i also didn;t win any lucky draw with my number 8041. in fact none of the colleague from my dept won anything also. but it's ok , hope next year got better luck

Maple wise, I managed to do to level 145 after some hard work. But because I didn’t buy any lucky charm in advance , and dying at least 3-4 times losing around 40% in the process, I guess I cant do to lvl 146 by this weekend. But things still look fine. At least I I tried doing Big foot and Tengku (BOSS mob)






lastly, i would be taking a few days leave to malaysia .. enjoyment time :)
GOD bless

Holiday season

about mapling.. i managed to do 2 lvl(to lvl 144) after a tough 2x on 27 nov 10. i didn;t managed to join the CWKPQ as i have yet to complete the jump quest. Since i have overcome the major obstacles, i should be able to complete soon.

this month of DEC is a holiday period, which i took total 6 days of leave. hope i could enjoy a bit for a while. i will try to do another 3 lvl of maple to 147 before the school holiday ends, or else it would be much harder to do it next year

my teeth wasn't very good , so i would have to visit the dentist two times this month, it;'s money again.. :(

stay happy
GOD bless

NOV UPDATE

I went to zhixian chalet last Saturday (20 Nov 2010). Initially, I’ll not so keen on going to such a far place, since the people attending is so few. But then, since Lijing is going, I guess I should make the effort.

After taking around 70mins of MRT ride, I reached pasir Ris. It has been a long time since I have taken such a long MRT ride (25 stations). Lijing and I took a shuttle bus to the chalet at M4

After lunch, a few of the guys (only 4 to be exact) decide to go swimming at wet wet wild. Lijing (as the only gal) remain at the chalet. Just feel a bit paisei, to leave her alone ‘looking after’ the chalet. Zhixian should have got a few more ladies to accompany her as well.

The swim took around 2.5 hours. there were one event that we took a so call “raft” to slip down from around 4storey , there are photos taken but we didn’t buy them as they were relatively expensive( mentioned by tianwei )After the swim, we went back to the chalet .Buffet started at around 1800 hours. Zhixian’s relatives arrive around this time. Sad to say that, I did not see any QSN arriving. Since I had night activities, I had no choice but to leave at 1920 hours( before the cake was being cut).

The day was still fine except attendance by QSN was relatively few, I was very tired after the swim ( over worked) next time shouldn’t swim so much.


Overall I had a fairly busy month. Hope for the coming months( November and December ) I should find time to play my maple ( to level to 146 ) from the present 142

God bless

some thoughts

i am happy whenever someone ( anyone) would to drop comments or like my post, and in anyway chat with me, no matter whether it is a guy or gal or young or old. On the other hands, i felt some sadness if people would to criticize my post / comment without giving positive suggestion. but then what should i do ? i will strive not to dislike anyone at all. Just that, if she/he does not like it, i should avoid commenting on his/her post at all.. 已所不欲，勿施于人，大概就是這個意思.

this saurday, our company had organise outing to sentosa, i should just go and enjoy myself. my father wouldn't want to go,thats a sad thing. but i should take some photo for him to see

my birthday coming next month, and a time when many people are busy with their studies.
guess what, i shall celebrate with myself.. be happy is the word GOD bless..

cheers

two Recent outing

On 25th July, I went on the company trip to Desaru. Things were not as bad as I thought, as Goh was sitting with me on the bus, Desmond talked to me during times here and there, just a hiccup is , I left my hand phone in my office, and not able to take photo during the trip, really blur of me





Second one is to Ziyu BBQ on 31th Jul; I drive there after a class at night. Rather disappointed that, several people either have left or are leaving. Deming restarted the fire for us to start the last of the BBQ. Guo long managed to take a group photo of us.

Later, I drove Guo long and company back home at CCK. Which after I went back to the BBQ site. Within 15 minutes, all of them calling a day, I drove most of them home. I was “awarded” with some fried rice for my effort.

Looking forward, I had several friends having birthday in the month of August which I hope to wish them happy birthday

Waimun birthday – 3rd august , he busy with ippt this week, so hope I could see him next week or any time this month. Hope he can do well for his ippt.

Huimin Birthday -7th, Tian Wei managed to get her a gift, so all I can do is cost sharing. I won’t see her any time soon, so a wishing of happy birthday, wishing her cheerful and pretty always

Ziyu birthday – didn’t managed to say or sing happy birthday to her during the BBQ, so should just drop a note, wishing her all the best in her studies

Zhi Hui birthday 13th, she’s busy with her “O” level, so hope she can do all the best for her exam.

Shi jie birthday coming on the second half of August, also wish her all the best.

And finally nation’s birthday, wish Singapore luck and prosperity (more water but fewer floods)

My birthday coming in September, I wonder if I could organize BBQ also? Maybe no one turn up? Hahaha

Cheers

Lifes a Dilemma

My company had organised a outing to Desaru tommorrow(24 jul 2010) for the whole day, but then, i have a lot of mixed feeling towards the outing. Not becuse of the outing itself, as i must admit, i love outing. going out with a huge group of people is fantastic.



but then, my colleague's relationship weren;t so good, and there were times stresses buiilt up over work, and at other times, we didn't talk at all. i wonder who would ever talk to me during the trip. i couldn;t find any partner to go along either. But then, i told myself. there are times i need to step out to try new things, make new friends , maybe.



maybe the only motive i have is to go there, take some photo and post at FB.. just stay happy would be good enough :)



just a though in mind

i have not been to sentosa for a very long time. I wonder when someone can "chio" me there

maybe have to wait Bery long .. sad :(

I was fuming when I saw Suarez (Uruguay striker) making a “volleyball” block to a certain goal by Ghana. It resulted in a red card and a penalty kick (which Gyan failed to convert).


Although this is really unethical works from a professional player, but we must admit that from the point of tactics, this is a good move. It’s kind of (show hand) gamble by Suarez. At the point, if he does nothing, Uruguay would have booked the next available flight home. But when he does it (handed the ball), there are still some chances that the penalty does not goes in (which indeed it is true).
Now the question, is Suarez a villain or hero?


Love thee, because Suarez has performed outstandingly during the group match and the round of 16 producing 3 goals for his country. Most importantly, he ‘sacrificed’ himself for the sake of his country. Whether will he play in the semis is no longer relevant, Uruguay has created history since 40 years ago. On the other hand, Ghana will have to wait for 4 more years for such chance to come.

Hate thee; soccer would no longer be professional or ’beautiful’. Players will go all the way out to flout the rules just for the sake of winning. Winners would no longer be decided by who is stronger, but by who is more cunning. Comparing the hands of GOD (Hands of the devil, I would say) by Maradona in 1986 or Thierry Henry’s handball that got France thru in the world cup 2010, is Suarez a ‘better’ football player or volleyball player?

But then this is just soccer, and only goals counts. It’s a game where only results are important. How to get there (or the process) is not in the priority. If Gyan had succeeded in the penalty kick, Suarez may still continue to be the villain. But then in a twist of stories, the ‘villain’ is being transformed to ‘hero’ in just less than a minute. There is a Chinese saying, 勝者為王，敗者為寇. As long as you win, you are the king.

But then this is soccer, I guess. Unless rules changes in the future, unprofessional play such as diving, time wasting and many more will still prevail for a very long time to come. Whether you love thee or hate thee (soccer), we have to accept the fact; soccer is never ‘clean’.

outing

On 26 Jun 2010, we went to Malaysia as per activities plan by Tianwei. A total of 6 people ( Lijing / lihui /ziyu /tian wei / Wesley chia and myself gathered at Bugis mrt to take a bus to Malaysia. I was a little disappointed not to see zhi xian coming.

we took the Malaysia express bus ( costing us 2.40SGD each ) and reached JB at around 1130am. We spent a little extra time in JB custom as Ziyu lead us to the wrong exit.


we spent half an hour walking around city plaza, and I managed to get a gift for RenHui and Lijing got a gift for Huizhi. Soon we are able to meet up with one of the two host (Yan Ru) which we spent the next two hours preparing birthday card to Yoong jie (YJ). I drawn a pig on the card (which doesn’t look like one ), at least Yan Ru draw a pig much better looking .We also bought a cake for yoonjie.





Around 215 pm, we managed to meet up with yoongjie ( after her work). We initially plan to walk to a nearby park, but the weather is super warm. So we decided to take two cabs there( 4 person in a cab)
We reached the sultan’s Garden in a 10 minutes drive, where we ‘climb’ up the hill and ‘cutting’ though a few grass patches before reaching our destination at the Pavilion.



Soon after we reached, a big group of church people also turn up for their gathering. We decided to give up half of the pavilion to them since that we have only 8 people.
We first took out the cake to sing birthday song to two birthday guy and girl.






Later, we played a game called 終級密碼 and there are “punishments for ‘losers”. Some interesting punishments include ziyu proposing to the tree, and tian Wei trying to express some words using his backside. The punishment I got is to run around the pavilion one time (a simple one I thought)






In the evening, as the sun shine into the pavilion, we shifted to a nearby grass (which is shaded) to eat the rice (tian Wei bought) and roti prata.




Around 630 pm, we finally departed. We took time to walk slowly back to city plaza and we took photo whenever there is an opportunity. We finally parted at 0730 with the host and left for home.



Looking backwards, the visit is relatively simple but enriching. The only down thing is people attending is not so much, I didn’t managed to see a few of the Malaysia QSN and particularly 義昇and Co. just hope I could see them in the next outing. Saying this, the next outing may not come anytime soon as we predict the students would be busy with their exams.


Finally it’s the birthday of Yoongjie and Tianwei today at 30 Jun 10. I can’t meet up with tianwei to celebrate his birthday due to other activities. But hope them all the best.



Wish
Yoongjie stay pretty and
Tianwei stay handsome always
(or as long as possible). GOD Bless!!

On last Fri. (30 may), my grandpa, my mother and myself went to a trip to the zoo. We reached the place at 0900 hours. The tickets were relatively more expensive (18 dollars) than the previous times I visited the place.



We started the journey around 0915am. The weather was not as warm as expected, the walk was pretty pleasant. There were so much animals to see, thus we can only spent a few minutes for each animal. Overall, we spent the most time (45mins) at tropical crop plantation / and orchid garden seeing different kinds of plants and fruits.





Around mid day, we reached Kidz world (wet play) where I see many kids playing there. The facilities were very good; I thought I would play if I am a kid myself or if I would bring some kids there also. i had spare some thing to visit the nearby kampong house.






The most interesting show I seen for the day is the show “rainforest fights back”. The only downside for me is that we reach the venue only at 1400 hours where as the show started at 1330 hours. I could only see half the show, but it’s still nice.



After the show, as my grandpa is relatively tired. We cut short the trip and went back at 1500 hours.



For the whole journey, we didn’t eat anything. But I managed to buy a bottle of coke (using the 1 dollar discount coupon). I also did visit the souvenir shop, but couldn’t buy anything as they are quite expensive. Overall I guess the visit is fruitful and the money spent worthwhile.

From 31 may onwards, I decided to take company bus to work. For conservative calculations, I should be able to save 3.50 dollars per day on petrol, that’s would built up to a whopping 900 dollars worth of savings annually. GOD bless

Things unpredictable

Recently, one of my colleagues sold me a Samsung (Omnia lite) mobile phone for 360 dollars. At the first look, I thought it seems to better than my HTC, but I must admit that I had done impulsive buying. Maybe I should take some moments to consider, but then since I bought, I should be happy with it.


The screen (3.0”) is bigger than my HTC phone (2.8”). On the positive side, I still managed to surf the net / msn and face book (not face book games). The screen is too small for a good internet surfing, I think a pc would be much better. On the downside, I couldn’t choose the type of ring tone I want. I think I would miss the cartoon (doreamon) ringtone for a while. But then since I can’t find a good ringtone, I should just settle for a simple ringing tone.


From this, I learnt a lesson. Happiness does not come from materialistic gain, but from contentment. My pc broke down recently so I had some chance to pick up some time to read, so I think it is a blessing in a disguise. My sis managed to get me a new CPU with her company at 700 dollars, I should be getting it latest month end. Notebook wise, I would push to next year to see if I would buy an I-pad? Things are unpredictable, so I should just fold my arms, wait and see.

My PC finally broke down, particularly at a time when my cash flow was the lowest in months. Since September last year, the graphic card has been giving out signal of spoiling as my monitor screen often black out. This is also the second time that my power box spoilt. Looking forward, I think it’s time to change a new CPU, since repairing the old CPU might not last that long. Is there any suggestion from my friends?


Without my PC, I can’t surf to face book and play maple. Last Saturday, I went to national library to use the terminal, and although I can go online to face book, but I couldn’t log on to any of the games as it has been blocked by the library system.


For the last two days, I spent relatively most of my time cleaning up the house instead of playing maple. I had also spare some time to read some books. It’s has been a relatively difficult time as I was so used to sit in front of my pc to pass time. But then after the two days, I realized that times are still bearable after all


Looking forward, it seems that I had to wait until next month to get a new pc as I have spent all my spare cash on my van insurance. The plan to do farming for Maple Sea fall off, I had less time to play on my face book game (Restaurant city, Farmville and FFS). Looking on the positive side, I guess with my pc down, I could reduce my dependency on computers and spent times on some other things. I hope to spend more time reading books (Tao de ching) and maybe some exercise.




Finally, I just hope I can save enough to buy a CPU start of next month; my new mobile phone would have to wait until august. GOD Bless
