天意

刚跟爸妈去四马路回来。在观音庙拜了观音菩萨并第一次学妈妈求签。我求的是姻缘, 掷第二次才圣筊, 结果是只下签,签末结语是“凡事劳心费力也”。无语,还是认命吧。

刘德华今年48岁,最近公开宣布说他其实本人并不浪漫,很多戏里浪漫的事情他现实生活中都没做过,因为日子过得太忙了,但他也说自己不会就这样下去,做一辈子孤独老人的。这话挺有意思。犹记得他当年那首老歌“天意”里唱过,“无情无爱此生又何必”,最后又说“无情无爱此生我认命”。真是我此时心情之写照!

跟YJJ在网上谈起,她说即便结了婚,也难保能长相厮守,其实世间没有永恒不变的事,谁也无法说得准谁会比谁先走。没人爱就自己爱自己吧,唯有注意自己饮食习惯,多做运动保持身体健康,命里有时终须有, 命里无时莫强求,尽人事而听天命矣!

年初二

今天大年初二也是爺爺101歲冥誕, 希望他老人家在另一個世界過的安好.

Songs of the Sea@Sentosa

Visited Sentosa yesterday to re-take some photos at the Flower Show, as we did not have enough time last Saturday to fully explore the newly expanded display of flowers this year.

We also visited the new "Songs of the Sea" show which replaced the Musical fountain (closed on 25 March 2007). I couldn't help but felt a sense of disappointment after watching the show. I have very fond memories of the Musical fountain which has been a major attraction of Sentosa for 25 years since 1982, which coincidentally is the year which I first arrived in Singapore.

I still remember vividly till this day. As a 12-year-old boy, I watched in awe the various formations of fountain, the different angles, heights and degrees of splashes and how they blended in so nicely, completely in sync with so many different pieces of classical music, even Taiwanese folk songs like天黑黑 and 丟丟銅 were included, much to my excitement. The musical fountain show has been an FOC attraction for all these 25 years too, while the current "Songs of the Sea" is now priced at 8 bucks per ticket now. Yes, the use of laser and pyrotechnics may be spectacular but somehow I just miss the good old days. When I heard the big applauses from the audience, I felt somewhat sorry for them, because they didn't know what they had been missing, haha.

Except the annual CNY flower show which has been free every year, all attractions on the tiny island now comes with a price. So there is no more "free lunch". But as far as the musical fountain is concerned, I guess a priced lunch may not taste as good as a free lunch in this case.

Bonus of FIVE months!!!

An ex-colleague just told me that he's just been offered a fat bonus by his company of about five months worth! Gosh, imagine my surprise and drooling.... It's unthinkable at this time of global economy crisis that people still get such a big fat bonus. Same people, different fate, man... He can definitely live a 大肥年 in the year of Ox liao, haha!

除夕



七姑姐今早搭華航回台中了. 昨天逛了整天聖淘沙, 回到家已經凌晨12點多, 然後拖拖拉拉搞到三點才捨得上床睡覺. 真是歲月摧人老, 感覺姑姐似乎老了不少, 不過兩位表姊都保養的很好, 身材樣貌都不像是已到中年的女性, 也許跟她們平時注重飲食與生活習慣有關吧.
今天吃年夜飯大家打算打邊爐, 希望大家牛年行大運, 過個平安順利的好年.

疲れた!

昨日夜よく眠れなかったので今日はとても疲れた。仕事もあまりやらなかった。今晩やはり早く寝たほうがいいと思っている。あした、セントーサーに行くつもりで、楽しみにしている。
ところで、妹はもう武漢に帰ったという。なべやさかなの頭なども食べたそうだ。きっと嬉しかった。

Home visit

Aunt visited my home this afternoon with two cousins from Taiwan. My elder cousin is married with two kids and her hubby is a PhD holder. But she cooks dinner everyday and appeared so tired from all the housework. I wonder why did she still bother to cook as there are so many good foods to eat in Taiwan too. :P
My younger cousin is still single and is enjoying an active lifestyle. She is also a PhD holder like her brother-in-law and she has a group of close friends who are all single too. Haha.. my elder cousin often envies this carefree life of her younger sister. :)
Looking forward to meeting them at Sentosa this coming Saturday to see the annual floral show.

失恋

今朝、妹から「もう彼氏と分手してしまったわ(彼氏と別れる)」と泣いたり言ってくれた。「ああ、また?!」と最初の感じだ。妹は大変悲しくて昼食のとき、あまりワインを飲んだそうだ。まあ、それは肝に対してよく壊しやすいこと。いくら悲しくても、お酒をできるだけ少ししか飲まないほうがいいではないか。
恋情経歴が一度もない僕は、どんな勧める言葉を使えばよいかなぁと困ったのだ。怒ったらどうしょう。機嫌損ねたらどうしょう。。。とびくびく妹とチャットしていた。
そして、いよいよお正月に来る。来年から、妹の愛情の幸せをいつものように祈っている。

馬六甲之旅










馬六甲由於以華人居多, 所以到處可見華人招牌與裝飾, 我們開著公司的休旅車在都是單向道的街上閒逛, 在車上, 眼尖的學長說, "你看, 那是不是國民黨的黨徽?" 我也看到了, 原來還是先總統 蔣公所親筆提的"忠貞足式", 可見馬六甲跟近代華僑歷史淵源之深。

晚上日本老闆請客, 大家去吃了著名的娘惹菜, 味道不錯, 最特別的是桔子酸梅汁, 我在新加坡時就很喜歡喝, 聽學長說原產自馬來西亞。馬六甲版本是綠色的, 而我在新加坡喝的卻是略帶黃色。詢問店家, 得到的答案是他們是把整個酸桔絞碎然後跟酸梅一起混合而成的飲料。賣相特別不過味道馬馬虎虎, 沒留下多深的印象。

隔天參觀工廠辦完公事大夥順道買了些土產就打道回府了。預計新年後再回來。

Malacca trip 14Jan-15Jan










We left office about 10:30am and checked-in Holiday Inn Malacca about 3pm on 14 Jan. The weather in Malacca is cool and windy. I don't remember having visited Malacca before. So everything seems so fresh and interesting around me. As Malacca was a Chinese-major town, I saw many Chinese signboards and Lunar New Year decorations, as the New Year is drawing near.

PF

On Friday, received a shocking news from PF that she had been asked to leave her company. Sigh, anther casualty of the recent Financial Tsunami. She has been a great help to our work and it's very sad to see her no longer around to support us. Personality-wise, she is a soft-spoken, hard-working and well-mannered lady. Having gone through this twice-in-a-row, I can understand her anxiety now. Will try to help her in whatever way I can.

性格测试,你是热还是冷?

朋友email过来一则性格测试,我的结果是“寒流型”, 还不错,蛮准,只是有点不太对的是我比较沉默闷骚,不是经常冷言冷语的那类,哈哈!大家有空不妨也测试看看。

FW: 想不想知道自己的生日是属冷还是热?

此话题很有趣哦!
若同样如此感觉...那就请务必静心试一下哦!

测试方法:
1.先把数字分为两类
热:1 3 5 7 9
冷:2 4 6 8 0
2.再看你的出生年 月 日是属于(热)还是(冷)!具体方法是把 年 月 日的尾数取出
例:如1982年4月21日出生的话
1982的尾数为2(冷) 4月为(冷) 21日尾数是1为(热)
根据结果将三个属性组合起来得到(冷 冷 热)然后从下面的找出你的属性
1.烈火型...(热 热 热)
2.艳阳性...(热 热 冷)
3.暖风型...(热 冷 热)
4.温水型...(热 冷 冷)

1.烈火型
性格:天生活力冲天;对朋友常常过分热情
而且对刚刚认识的人也能讲出许多秘密和心事
这份热情不是人人都受得了的
不知道什么时候就会惹来反感
事业;对工组全心投入
但常会(有工作没同事)把周围的人得罪了自己还不知道
爱情:就算有了另一半;仍会和异性朋友讲心事.弄得醋味一味
金钱:热心助人慷慨解囊;但好心不是总有好报

2.艳阳性
性格:由于该类型的情感热度适中
如温暖的阳光;晒得别人暖洋洋
不会象烈火型那样随时会灼伤无辜人
所以别人很乐意和她做朋友
不过有时也会失控一旦情绪过分高涨
难免会在语言上得罪人
事业:热心工作;会体谅别人的感受;因此和同事相处融洽
爱情:热情和浪漫兼备;使得另一半对他死心塌地
金钱:广结人缘;别人有好处往往会留他一份;自然财源广进

3.暖风型
性格:情感热度没有烈火型和艳阳性那么高
但人如其名;吹得别人如沐春风;往往不知不觉就对他产生好感
此外:暖风型性格豁达;不会为小事而固执己见
而这一份潇洒正是其吸引异性的地方
事业:性格和顺.不作固执要求;于是错过不少提升的机会
爱情:视人人都如兄弟姐妹;错过不少姻缘
金钱:用钱该花则花.不会有万贯家产;也不会有一屁股的债

4.温水型
性格;暖水性热度最低;待人处事也象一杯温水;平淡乏味
不过!是老好人一个;责任心强肯吃苦又踏实;给人一份安全感
朋友未必多;但如果和他做了朋友
通常都是一辈子的那一类
事业:不会去争好处;又不懂投机取巧;不但难以升迁.还可能被韧媾
爱情:成熟者才欣赏平凡人的优点.所以年纪越大;异性缘约好
金钱:过于老实.吃亏往往不出声

5.冰山型
性格:冰山型有如一座冰山拒人于千里之外;旁人望而止步
对人冷若冰霜;对感情的需求却相当大
而且凡事以自己味第一考虑;独占欲非常强
不论是人是物.如果被他看中;一天得不到手一天不罢休
事业:性格够冷静;临危不乱;是做大事的人才
爱情:这座冰山就算爱上别人都不会主动;注定要做天煞孤星
金钱:胆大心细又冷静;买大开大买小开小;财运非常不俗

6.寒流型
性格:寒流型恰恰和暖风型相反;和他一块象置身于寒冬
常要接受他的冷言冷语 防寒措施少一点都不行
寒流型思想成熟会照顾人;可惜感情太过严肃不会享受生活乐趣
加上为人现实;考虑太多;缺少浪漫感觉
事业:做大事太多顾虑.犹豫不决;使事业裹足不前
爱情:不会轻易踏足情场;恋爱会找个冷静型的情人
金钱:凡事精打细算.能省则省;但有时反而会因小失大

7.冰箱型
性格:在(冷静型)人当中
冰箱型可谓最有协调型;因为性格虽冷但情感度可以调整
对人冷到什么程度;完全是因人而异的
如果对方面目可憎;言语无味
他立刻会冷得跟(冰山型)一样
不过!假如对方和他很合拍;转身又会变成(凉水型)
事业:本身细心冷静;又具协调型;事业发展不错
爱情:为人偏冷;异性缘始终一般
金钱:对钱的兴趣不大;认为是身外之物;够用即可

8.凉水型
性格:是(冷静型)中最名不副实的一位
虽有cool的外表;但虚有其表
内心其实尚有几分热情
当凉水型遇上4款(热情型)时极易受对方热情的影响
一杯凉水随时会让人煮成开水或水蒸气
爱情:外表冷酷;但恋爱时会有几分浪漫激情.难怪异性缘不俗
金钱:没什么偏财运;少碰风险大的投资;最好是把钱存进银行收利息

Dad's birthday dinner


Today's Lunar Calendar 18th December, my Dad's lunar birthday. In his times, the older Chinese generation used to adopt the lunar calendar for birthdays.
After work, joined Dad and Mum for dinner at at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe @Plaza Singapura. We ordered Ying yong (coffee+milk tea), Black Pepper Chicken Egg Rice, Stir Fried Beef HorFun and HK-style crab bee hoon. The bee hoon didn't taste as good as it looked, unfortunately. Too salty. Total dinner costed $60.4, including two cups of warm water (at $0.20 per cup, sheesh, even plain water is not free here). But I think the total price is reasonable.

We then headed straight to Swensens located just two floors below Xin Wang. Courtesy of Vivian, I received from her a one-for-one Gold Rush voucher that I used tonight to enjoy the all-time favourite ice-cream with my parents. It costed just $8 for the two ice-creams. What a steal, haha! :)

Gonna go to Malacca tomorrow and stay for one night there. Hmm, I heard that's the site where Little Nyonya was being filmed due to its rich Peranakan heritage. Also, a friend from Malacca told me to remember to try the Malacca satay celup, chicken rice ball, dim sum, wantan mee, nyonya laksa, bak kut teh and Yong Tau Hu. :)

小王子

在台灣民視的"纏腳布"劇集--《意難忘》裡,男主角建志對女主角婷婷說 :「女孩子就像一朵花,需要被關懷呵護」,聽到這句台詞就使我想起kakak介紹我的一本很有意思的法國名著【小王子】裡頭的小王子,他對心愛的玫瑰花那樣百般呵護,那種既純真又偉大的愛情, 直讓世上千千萬萬的女性讀者們為之心折,盼望自己此生也能找到像小王子般的伴侶吧。
此書還有很多地方令我有所啟發,不知為何我如今才接觸到這本書,想起小時候讀的課外書,西方的譯著就有伊索寓言,湯姆歷險記,天方夜譚,安徒生童話等,偏偏就留了小王子這遺珠。不過也許當時年紀小, 就算看了也不解其深意吧。還是要有一定經歷的成年人才能有更深的體會。聽說這本書也是法文初學者必讀之書。 我想如果以後有機會修讀法文,非得好好地去讀一下這原著不可。

葉問師父について

ゆうべ、イップ・マン(葉問)という映画を見た。その映画が大好きなので、映画に関する資料をネットで探してみた。
イップ・マン師父は、中国南部の仏山でうまれた詠春派の最後のマスターである。イップ師父は8歳のとき、さまざまな流派のグンフーを研究しはじめたが、チャン・ワア・ソン(陳華順)師父と出会ってからは、すべてのエネルギーを彼のアート、詠春拳に注ぐようになった。現在の彼は、この流派の現リーダーである。
イップ・マン師は、真の意味でのグンフーの偉人で、ほかの流派のインストラクターからも尊敬を集めている。彼は「粘りつく手」で有名だ。自分の手を相手の手にあてがい、目を閉じたままその相手を制圧するのだ!60の歳になっても、彼は相変わらず活動的で、生徒はだれひとり、彼に手を触れることすらできない。
ところで、「イップ・マンII」という続編の予定があるそうで、大変喜んで楽しみにしている。

年纪大乎?嗜睡症乎?

今天下午又不知不觉睡了两个多小时的午觉,不知为何,最近周末假日的下午总有昏昏欲睡的感觉,以前总是觉得可能跟自己周末的晨跑有关,早上跑的太多,消耗体能过度而导致午间比较倦怠,可今天我没跑啊,而且还从晚上十一点睡到早上七点多!如果不是有假日嗜睡症就是跟年纪有点关系了。

New EZ-Link card

Today is the first day of 1-to-1 ez-link card replacement exercise. According to news, there are a whopping 10,000++ new cards replaced just today. The queue is also super-long, much to the surprise of the Translink officers. I also do not understand why the rush for getting the new cards since the deadline for exchange is 30 Sep of this year, and the new card can only be used for transport purposes for the time-being. I hope with this new card, there will be more places accepting ez-link payment options in the future and we do not need to carry so many credit/debit/ATM cards around anymore. :)

一鱼三味

晚上跟朋友在牛车水一家老字号“红星”酒楼晚餐,朋友点了一道“一鱼三味”,就是一条鱼分三种煮法,我一向不太爱吃鱼,不过朋友说这是招牌菜,我也不愿意扫兴,就同意了。结果味道还不错,共有鱼汤,炒鱼片,鱼片米粉等三种。除了鱼汤的鱼肉刺较多以外,整体来说还不错吃。:)
海峡时报的"Mind Your Body"今天说鱼是很健康的食物,有丰富的蛋白质,饱和脂肪跟胆固醇含量都很低,像鳕鱼之类的Omega-3含量也很高,建议一星期至少吃两次。嗯,看来为了身体着想,我得考虑多吃点鱼了。

刚刚在看八频道的一个节目,主持人念出一首古诗:“独在异乡为异客,每逢佳节倍思亲,遥知兄弟登高处,遍插茱萸少一人”。节目介绍了山茱萸乃中药材的一种。我在这里不是要谈山茱萸,也不是要谈重阳节,要谈的是妈妈的病痛。
妈妈自去年9月左右开始就受风湿病痛的困扰,看了几次她一向很相熟的中医师傅但是病情仍然反反复复,现在几乎每天都喊痛,年纪大了,真的很可怜,病魔随时会找上门。有时妈妈会埋怨为何生了我们几个孩子都是打工仔,没人学医,不然就能帮妈妈看病了。其实妈妈身体一向很硬朗,也有打气功的习惯,还没到70岁,怎么会突然被风湿缠身也令我感到费解。唯有希望明天再看中医能找到根治的办法了。唉,希望大家都好好保重身体。

日本語で初めての日記

1月6日(火)  晴
六時三十分起床。起きてから、朝食前にあごひげをそったり、歯を磨いたり、顔を洗ったりした。朝食後近くにあるLRT駅へ歩いて行った。LRTとは軽軌列車(けいきれっしゃ)であり、それを乗って盛港駅まで地下鉄を乗り換えて、ブンケンという駅へ行った。ブンケンに到着した後、日本語のラジオ番組を聞きながらゆっくり歩いて会社に行った。
きのうの会議で、部長はソフトの実行を正しくなるために確認する証明文献を作成させた。その文献は、まだ作ったことがなくてよく困っているんだ。
この日記を日本語で書くのはかなりの時間が掛かった。しかし、今年年末の日本語能力試験一級をやりたいから、もっと日本語をやり直しなければならないんだ。最後の機会であるわけだが、必ず一生懸命勉強しようと思う。

小娘惹

小娘惹今天播完了,不知大家有何感想。我觉得这部戏拍的还可以,不过我是从中间才开始看的,没看到欧萱扮演的菊香是怎样的一个角色。我觉得剧情还算紧凑,有吸引到我追看结局,虽然有些地方不是很合理,但整体来说以新传媒的水准而言还算中规中矩,不过不失吧。可惜的是选了欧萱扮演小娘惹总觉得不太合适,因为她肤色略嫌白皙,眼睛也不是很大,一眼望去还是像华族女子多过像娘惹,所以我觉得这点比较欠说服力,我觉得她演技还算OK吧,她外型也满秀气,只是她的咬字令人感觉不是很自然,像是在背稿,生硬了些。如果她能改进这点会更好。
据New Paper on Sunday报导,新传媒的宣传主任Paul Chan说等了好几年才终于等到一个阿姐出现,而这位阿姐就是欧萱。我觉得似乎牵强了点,不知会有多少人认同他的说法呢?

First day at work in 2009

We had a mini-Christmas party on 24th December during lunch time, and I was shocked to see our big boss wearing a Santa red cap, haha.
After 2 super long weekends for the past two weeks (I took leaves on 26 Dec and 2 Jan), I came back to office today. So you can imagine my mood now. Anyway, it's time to get fresh and start my "engine" and hope this year will be another challenging and fulfilling year ahead!

Story of Shandy Sim

I spent the whole afternoon today reading through all the entries in late Miss Shandy Sim's blog after a report in the New Paper on Sunday.

Her story was truly inspiring. She started her blog soon after the shock discovery of her diagnosis but what followed was her display of courage and positive thinking in her battle against cancer. Her mood was always upbeat as she wrote her blog with such humour that nobody would guess she's actually a Stage 3 cancer patient undergoing so many grueling chemos and RTs.

Live life to the fullest and stay positive no matter what lies ahead of you. Don't take things for granted and live everyday as though it is your last day.

May she rest in peace.

Scorpio Outlook of Romance for 2009

I am a "half-believer" of horoscopes, i.e. I tend to agree with some of the things about my zodiac but disagree with the others. I happen to find this article on Yahoo! website about the "romantic outlook" this year for my horoscope.

The article is so well-written and full of positive statements that I would rather believe that it is true! I like this part: "Your instincts are powerful in developing intimacy, and will help you create a healing, passionate and spiritual relationship. The completeness of being in love is a major focus for you this year, and your desire to articulate your feelings will bring your relationship to a higher level of understanding and personal fulfillment."

Heaven knows I have yet to find that partner to start a "healing, passionate and spiritual relationship"! :P Fellow financial-guru Mike asked why I did not include "finding a lover" in my New Year Resolutions. I think part of the reason is due to my age. Statistics from the government shows that the likelihood for people over the age of 35 to get hitched are significantly reduced. I would attribute this to the reduction in hormones for people over 35, haha. Jokes aside, I think it all boils down to the reasons for marriage in this modern age.

The fact is as days go by, the urge to find a lover gets lower and lower. I am a traditional guy. I believe to marry a person, you must be fully dedicated and willing to take care of her with all your heart, and be prepared to make all kinds of sacrifices along the way. I take marraige as a sacred word and serious committment. Though I am nearing my forties, I do not yet have the courage and mentality to start such a long-lasting relationship. Am I taking marriage too seriously for my own good?

Money No Enough

Today I came across an article Not Perfect, But It's Home on Weekend TODAY, which has been delivered to my house FOC for many years. An interesting read as the author tries to compare the lifestyles between Singapore and Australia, in particular the perceptions of money and how different the Aussies deal with money matters compared to our countrymen.

I agree with the author that we Asians are more obsessed with money than the Aussies. It is little wonder that "Money No Enough 2" by Jack Neo won the top box office (among all Asian films) in Singapore last year. Our parents all expect us to study hard so that we can become doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants etc and make more money when we grow up. Having more money naturally lead to more comfortable and happier lives, as we were told. More often than not we tend to judge the social status of a person by his wealth rather than his heart. Even the government indirectly promotes the importance of money by benchmarking our top civil servants' pay to a basket of top earners in the six professionals in the private sector. We hear them saying things like "You need top money to draw top talent and curb corruption." and "You pay peanuts, you get monkeys", etc etc.

However, as the recent Global Financial Crisis shows, money is never enough, for those top-salary drawing bankers, more money paid to them may work in the opposite direction and blind them into making wrong decisions (i.e. creation of toxic assets). They are still human beings afterall and they still succumb to the power of greed. Human greed inevitably creates a bubble and then a crisis ensues.

In the distant future, will money ever become history? As we know, many wealthy people are actually not happy. They have no purpose in life and all they have left in this world is their money. A happy life does not have to be materialistic. In our usual pursuit of wealth, we must not forget that many simple things in life actually cost nothing. I hope to lead a simple life that is free from money woes, i.e. to achieve financial freedom as early as possible.
