距离重看《新不了情》电影，已经是十年前的事了。以前就只专注于故事的流程且感人的情节; 现在反而觉得电影里头的演员，演技，金句，是不可多得的人生演绎。 人生篇 健康从来就不是每个人来到这个世界都能理所当然拥有的。当你在埋怨世界对你有多不公时，别忘了有些人每天...

I have challenges at understanding instructions.  First, I could not register rules in list or in sequences.  Second, I stop listen to rules immediately when they sound stupid or complicated.  Third, who cares about rules? Last, who started rules in the first place? The resistant behaviour is not all about being rebellious or sign of not listening. Also, it's not about the tendency of giving commands rather than receiving one. Let's put it in this way - it's hard to follow certain rules which are creatively complicated by the one who tasks you. Make much sense? To me, it's like what do you want me to achieve; and what shouldn't I do to breach against law or compliance or just the barriers. Recently, we were participating in team-building event. The weather was hot and humid, the host was impatient while the team were too noisy and excited - so most of the time I couldn't focus on what needed to be done for each round. Our team tended to wi...

Going on a vacation is something you would always think of when work is too stressful, lunch is too bland, and clockwatching is the only hobby from work. But I am telling you this - planning a vacation can be stressful or it might trigger unnecessary arguments between 2 or more hopeful souls who have been longed for routes to the oasis. Ok little bit too far-fetched but I've made my point. Anyway, if a vacation is that stressful, why would you spend money and still worry about a lot of uncertainties ahead? Some call it adventurous but a lot of them just fear of every single step they make that would ruin their holiday. Some employers are even evil to rub the salt on your wound by instructing their employees to stay online even when the employees are entitled to get on leave. Seriously, as if expecting the uncertainties in a foreign country is just not enough. So, here I am at the airport, musing about how should I behave like I am on a stress-free vacation. First, not reacting t...

男人买了两杯咖啡 坐在靠商店一侧的座位 等待着女人购物回来。女人一心只想着找双高跟鞋 走遍了每个角落 耐心地试鞋 再站起 对着全身镜摆着姿势 努力让镜中的自己穿的好看些。殊不知 这一连串的动作看得男人发呆 深思。女人很开心地拎着一袋鞋盒往咖啡厅走去。嘴上直夸货品价廉...

In 2008, I was a year shy of being an eligible voter. Being far away from home, all I could do was following the election news update via social media. Vendetta mask was widely displayed, as well as the movie quotes were popularised in emphasising the significance of people's voice. It was also the first time I heard of a louder voice of wanting change for the country.  In 2013, the queue outside of my designated polling station was super long before sunrise. My younger, ineligible friend was so excited to feel the hype of UBAH and we waited in the line together. Restriction of journalism and speech did not hinder the people to campaign about the change we wanted. People from all over world were making an effort to cast their votes despite the physical distance. We saw unity in Bersih and felt united on election day. However, this year, we experienced the dirtiest and darkest election fraud in the history of GE. The result pained us so much we thought we could never see the chan...

I want to write again. I stop reading when I stop writing, which decelerates learning - as if it's important to restart this habit. I used to write a lot, ranging from intelligible advice, biased perspective of society, college/office whine, daily experience, melancholy, to total gibberish, and that made me happy after clicking the Publish button. At one point of time, I was rather obsessed with customising the blog background and layout by using the basic html. I could achieve great satisfaction from writing and building website; what's more imagine it was the era without much resources from Google, 8MP phone camera, photoshop software, and widgets. Recall of when I stopped writing: After starting my second job - it was a crazily-skewed learning curve at work and at office politics. I didn't have much time to write and whine and I knew it added more negativity by writing them out. I worried I might regret one day for the outpourings of discontent with life. Bloggin...
