A Favour

I was looking for the chords of a particular song. It cannot be found in the website I usually patron. Asked a friend, and I got what I need. Some thoughts after this: It is not just about asking the 'right' person. It is about asking a person who is willing to go an extra mile for you. Even when the person does not have what you want, when she is willing to go an extra mile and source out for you, that's a friend indeed.

I came across an article today. It is such a lovely story... ------------------------------------------------------------- It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she ...

习惯成自然

有时爱可以是种习惯。 你每一句的‘我爱你’可能是一个习惯。 习惯,成为了自然。。而慢慢的,自然也变成了理所当然。 爱,就不知不觉停留在那理所当然。 也许,是太习惯了那理所当然, 所以也很自然的接受这份爱。 时不时就会有这种感觉: 你是真的爱我吗? ---------------------------------------------------------------- 我所说的这份爱,不一定是夫妻之间的爱。 也许是对子女的爱,朋友之间的爱,对家长的爱。。 对教会的爱,对神的爱,对事物的爱。。等。 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Reading list: The Memory Keeper's daughter by Kim Edwards.

MRT Bench

Image
Good news! MRT has finally 'brighten up'! They have changed their bench! Not sure if you have realised that the metal benches that they used to install in the various MRT stations? Those up to the butt height, top is slightly slanted, making the surface very 'slippery'. You cant simply sit firmly on it because your butt kept sliding off! Now they have changed to a flat surface. It is so much better! Design is so important! Beautiful things may not be practical. Food that taste good may not be healthy. Sometimes life is full of contradictions.

Would'nt it be loverly

A masterpiece

Image
This is the 'masterpiece' i did last December. Ever since after i left secondary two, i have not touch brushes and paint till i did the module on Creative Arts last year. Quite satisfied with this piece of work, though its far from good. But i think i did well with the shades of tones. Definitely i cannot claim all the credits cause my lecturer helped me with some parts when she used mine as a demo to the rest of the class. However, there is a flaw, or i should say fault. See if you can idenitfy it. You dont need to be an artist to realise it, just need to be more observant. Clue: nothing to do with the techniques or colours. =) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For older blogs, go to metamorphoziz.blogspot.com

Thoughts tots

My husband recently has this urge to start a blog on tots; yea, parents thoughts abt their tots, tots' thoughts, thoughts of the tots, any thoughts on tot of all colors, shapes, sizes, culture of human race are welcome to blog it down. So he bought a domain name - http://www.blogtots.com/ He intended it to be an online journal where parents keep a record of e life journey of their child, and by the time their child are competent and mature to take over the blog and continue the rest of their life story themselves. Further to that, he is very keen to start a community/network for local mums to share about their experiences, struggles n joy with the rest of the mummies out there. It can also be a place where new mummies could find useful and interesting articles where it comes to their child's development. Looking for confinement lady? Nannies? Reviews of islandwide childcare can be found as well.. so he bought another domain name - http://www.jollitots.com/ Yea, good idea. Howe...

A Wedding

Couple of days ago, i was coordinating a wedding. And through it i learnt something... When you are in the midst of making an important decision, there bound to be lots of 'creative' ideas (be it relevant or irrelevant) bombarded to you (yes, even from the field experts) which may hinder you from making THE RIGHT decision. And if you are like me, you will definitely be shaken and would easily go for the 'popular' idea, which may be disastrous. However, those ideas are not not-do-able. Perhaps for that immediate circumstance, it is not workable. There are moments where we may try to attempt on the popular idea (simply because its popular,or they may seems favourable to many at that point of time), in order to cover up the 'unsettle-ness' in our heart, we begin to waste time looking for (more) support from elsewhere-from people whom we could get more security and assurance; instead of staying calm n resolute if this is really the right decision. Thank God everythi...

Let it be to me according to my word?

I kept asking myself what is the thing that is withholding me. I asked.. and i found myself saying "privacy and freedom". I began to ask myself again, "is it really that important?" I almost burst into tears.. I guess it is. I begin to dread chinese new year. Can see the common factor in each sentence? (Its the big "I") Am i too selfish? All i think is myself. But is it wrong to love yourself? Or am i overboard? With the thoughts of how life would be... i simply hate it. Perhaps i think too much. Things might not be so bad as i thought. Yea, it will not. But i am not willing to let go of my privacy just as yet... not now, nor will be. Perhaps, i just got to look at it with another perspective and learn to be happy, and live through it. But i know it will take alot, alot, alot, alot of time and effort to convince myself. Its just THE choice i have to accept, and make another choice to be happy. ---------------------------------------------------------------...

A new day

Today is the start of a new working day. Nothing new. Still, there are people wanting to be the first to get into the train, and the first to get out. Still, there are people wanting to be the first to get into the lift, and the first to get out. Still, even when you have already signaled to the person who is pushing behind you that you will be getting off at the same station as him/her (even when you have no space to make way), the person still pushes you anyway. Still, ladies like to put their EZ link card in their bag, and refuses to take out their card even when the gantry cant detect their card. Their persistency caused a long queue behind them, and yet, they are still flipping their bag.... Dom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "No choice is still a choice". yea, no choice is still a choice because there is only one choice. 心里有十万个不愿意, 但事实上是别无选择。 是最不想要的结果, 可能是这一年发生。 知道会很不快乐, 就是要学习去习惯,去快乐。 如果可以从头, 我会多加一个祈祷要求。 ----------------...

What to blog?

A few more hours to 2008. To be exact, 7.5hrs to 2008. Whats the difference except that we will all have to start writing '08' intead of '07'? Had a meeting two days ago. Alot of us shared that 2007 was a tough, difficult, stretching year for each one of us. One of them shared that he is hoping that 2007 can quickly finish and start a new year afresh. I was just pondering on this statement these few days. Do we really need to wait for a new year to start afresh? After 5,4,3,2,1... its just another normal day. The difference between the old year and the new year is just merely 1sec. Is there a need to reserve the decision of starting anew for 4days? Does it mean that i can allow myself to fail and continue to live a difficult live in these four days before the new year come? or is there something magical going to happen when the clock strikes twelve? This is the mindset that everyone embraced worldwide. Even me, yea, i got to admit. Wait till new year, then i will do thi...

A prayer

The word of the Lord came to me today during worship. 1. Courage to lead 2. Boldness to validate 3. Authority to influence

The Man's Woman

He's hurt. My tears flowed once i saw the message. He didn't. "Everything is alright." he said, bracing the front and carried on. For that moment, the word came flesh to me, "you are the bone of my bones, the flesh of my flesh." Indeed God created woman out of man's left rib. Woman, completes the man, vice versa. Without knowing the whole epsoide, i can feel his hurts explicity. He didn't cry. Instead, i cried on his behalf. I cried his grieves out. This closeness that we shared, the access to each other's feelings, makes me love him even more... ....an excerpt from 'The Woman'

一千年以后

因为在一千年以后 世界早已没有我 无法深情挽着你的手 浅吻着你额头 别等到一千年以后 所有人都遗忘了我 那时红色黄昏的沙漠 能有谁解开缠绕千年的寂寞 -------------------------------- 人,会面临绝种。 对,是你和我。 因为世上只有一个你。 你是独一无二的。 身旁的朋友有些已离开了人世。 当一个人走的时候,世界并没有因此而停止转动, 人们也没因此停下脚步。 明天依然会来到,日子依然得过。 世界是残酷的,没有同情心的,不是吗? 上帝才给我们两个东西 - 时间和遗忘。 时间能冲淡一切,人们会渐渐遗忘。 不是遗忘那回忆,而是遗忘那伤痛,那悲伤。。 然后用时间来弥补那残酷,这样我们才能从新面对人生,面对不会再有你习惯的人在身旁的日子。 日子会不一样。但有多好,就看自己怎样去面对。 生命每一秒都在改变。好好的珍惜你的人生和周围的人吧! ------------------------------------------------------------------- 当我死了以后,把我化成灰,洒在大海里吧。 因为唯一我去不了的地方就是海底里。 记忆里有我就好,不需要每次去扫墓。

Music & Lyrics

Music and Lyrics. Which one decides the quality of a song? Some says Lyrics. No matter how nice the melody is, if the lyrics has no meaning, there is not depth in the song, hence it is not a good piece of composition. But without a nice melody, it cant bring out the 'feel' of the lyrics. I love the liberty of freedom. Perhaps that is why i like classical music. It has no lyrics, its up to me to create a story out of it. It is MY STORY. But without a good lyrics, it sort of like 'downgrade' the song. However, even if the lyrics is nice and the music sucks, its not a good piece either. Contradicting right? Well, i guess.. beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. Good music needs good lyrics. Good lyrics needs good music. Sounds like lyrics is the man. Logical, straight forward. Music is the woman. Feels alot, lots of mood. And when a good music merge with a good lyrics, it is a good composition. The composer will be God.

曾经

因为过去,才为了未来而活得更灿烂 ------------------------------ 曾经,同住一屋延下的我们, 现在已各有自己的“小天堂” 天下总有不散的延席 人生毕竟得经历悲欢离合 长大了,各有各的生活要去过 各有各的梦想要去追。 在追着梦的当儿 也许会忘了与对方谈心,从溫旧梦 慢慢的,感情变淡了 见了面,好象没什么话题可谈得上了。。 一切得从哪儿开始的? 或,一切是从哪儿停止的? 熟悉不知不觉停留在那里 让陌生静悄悄的慢慢成长 拉长了距离。。。 这是一生的遗憾。

当我门同在一起

你,我,他,她都过着不同的生活。 你有你的故事,你的历史 我有我的童年,我的往事 他有他的过去,他的理想 她有她的回忆,她的执擆 当你我他她相遇,建立了一个共同的乐园,社区,社会,国都 有了共同的故事,这就是你我他她的开始。 --------------------------------------------------------------- 每个人的背后,都有一段影片在放映 即使是活在现在,曾经好的,坏的, 都是靠(现在)我们对突来的事件所做的反应而定。

想找回的记忆

为什么一至三岁的记忆那么迷糊? 为什么不记得爸爸妈妈恩爱的时候? 为什么不记得小时候的天真? 为什么不记得小时候被爸爸妈妈抱在怀里的感觉? 为什么不记得小时候豆爸爸妈妈开怀大笑的时候? -------------------------------------------------- 不记得不一定是不好 但,我想如果记得的话 我也许会更懂得珍惜。。

感动

曾经,有一个人问我:1)我做过最让人感动的东西是什么?2)曾经又有什么事情让我感动过? 我想第一个问题不应该是我回答吧。。我也想不起我到底做过了什么让人感动流泪。也许根本就没有,所以也没有被感动过。也或许,我是一个不容易被感动的人? 其实,仔细想想,是有些令我感动的事情,但我从不轻易掉泪。。为什么呢? 刚才看见U频道的《爱要怎么说》,男主角花了很多心思安,与朋友安排了一个独特的求婚邂逅,女主角最后感动流泪,say, "i do"。在电视旁的我,看了反而觉得没什么。男主角是很有心思,但不至于流泪那种。。突然,朋友曾经问过我的问题浮现在我脑海中。 我尝试想象这发生在我身上,我还是觉得我不会流泪。。是我太冷酷无情了吗?还是我要求太高?还是我把情感关闭起来了? 我想多了解自己。不想失去被感动的机会。。
