Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails....

我很珍惜每一段缘分

那一天,我问了一位60岁的老头:
“为什么到处飞,不留在家里和太太共享晚年?”

他说,太太10年前患上失意,已经不是他爱的女人了。
理性的他,不想把自己的人生浪费在照顾太太的身上,
所以决定到世界各地工作,找了护士照顾太太。

每逢圣诞节,老头会回家相聚,
而太太偶尔记得他是自己的老公,
偶尔误以为他是坏人。

这个老头不是陌生人,
而是我的老板。

听了后,突然很伤心。
这里没有谁对谁错,
只能说没有完美的山盟海誓。

忽然很同情他,
也很同情她。

我是一个很多愁善感的小女人,
我承认。

每读完一本小说,我就会有很多感触。
感叹人生的无奈,
为什么男女主角不能在一起?

每看一部连续剧,我就会因为剧里的某个桥段哭得稀里哗啦
仿佛把自己卷入剧中,经历当下的感受。

每听完一首个,我就会反复地哼着,
有时因为歌词的美而落泪。

这就是我,
一个爱哭的我,
一个会被小小的事而感动的我。

我或许不是每件事都能做得好,
可是我会努力完成一切。

无论是扮演一个孙女、女儿、侄女、朋友、老师、同事、情人、知己等。。。
我都很努力扮演好每个角色。
或许有时候我做不好,
又或者对方不能接受我爱她/他的方式,
可是这也只是唯一我能做的。
我只想关心我在乎的人,
珍惜我爱护的人。

就是这样。

朋友向我倾诉的时候,我会把她/他的问题变成自己的烦恼,
我会努力地去聆听及体谅,
也会尽力帮忙。

说我自寻烦恼烦恼?
或许吧!

只因为我很珍惜每一个缘分。

今天有学生问我:
“老师,为什么你每天都那么开心?”

一开始工作,我就告诉自己要保持愉快,
因为每天都要打仗,
我必须乐观面对。

可是,
他们从没看到一放工那沮丧无力的我。



这绝对不是我年代的歌,可是从小学开始,这首歌就陪我经过许多点点滴滴。今天在广播里听到这首歌,让我勾起了许多隐藏深处的回忆。。。

Dear Linsey,

All the best for your PSLE.

With Love,
Teacher Maureen

Thank You


I reached home very late from tuition on Monday
Yet I brought tonnes of work to be done at home.
While i doze off in the sofa,
AH YI actually helped me to type out all my work till midnight.

Thank you Ah Yi :)

我尽力了。。。

我不是铁人,
可是我会尽力去把工作做好。

我不懂谁会阅读我的博客,
我也不在乎。
反正我是尽力了,也问心无愧。

对于一个身不由己的决定,
我也只能遵守命令。
对或错,黑或白
我还可以分辨。

那又怎样?
When asked to do, can you say no?
Not like I have not pre-warned the consequences.

每个人对我有不同的要求。
上星期把一份不成立的草稿往我桌子上丢
不分青红皂白地训了我,
真的很说不过去。

他叫我不要在意,
我理解,也去体谅。
本来就是没有多大问题啊,
一直耿耿于怀,我也没办法。

昨天还这么严肃的责备,
我到底做错了什么?

这样子发脾气,
你爽就好咯。

我不想卷入没必要的争议,
只想努力把工作做好。

加油!

Chilli Padi Buffet Dinner

Went peranakan buffet dinner at Chilli Padi (North Bridge Road) with Lishan last night. It was $13.80++ and the variety is limited. Blue Ginger is definitely much better.





Lishan's shirt looks normal right, but she got a BIG BIG BOW TIE behind! So nice!

I felt much lighter after I tendered, so I was totally in the mood for shopping!


MY FIRST ALDO BAG!! $95 usual price, 15% off for UOB card holders, so that makes it $80!! wah, i think i must be crazy man! And that bangle is $36! -_-

But still, it was a happy shopping day! :D

Happy Mooncake Festival

Happy Mid Autumn Festival!~

Went shopping with Fungie at Haji Lane before going for Keyboard lesson. Went home after that to eat Ah Yi's zhao pai chicken rice and celebrate my mid autumn with my family.


I like this tweety bird lantern! I bought it many years ago and it's still in good condition. My pooh bear's lantern got burnt! :(



Playing with my neighbours. Why do we have to grow up? I also want to carry lantern with them! But I felt so giant!

We actually wanted to go Bishan Park and walk around with lanterns to feel the mood, but it was raining, so we stayed at home instead.

I love my neighbourhood. We are still very much traditional because we celebrate every single occasion. From CNY to Mid Autumn to dumpling to dua bei gong's birthday to wadever...and the whole neighbourhood will gather like a big family to talk!



Waited for our Mr Yong Tian till 1am last night but he told me he still outside -_-
So i got my mooncakes from him today 9am! My family only eats Da Zhong Guo. Every year the same! Cum'on, this year somebody buy me some lychee martini or durian mooncake please!

And you think we only have this few?



THIS IS HOW MUCH WE BOUGHT! Gosh, I think I can eat mooncakes for breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner and supper! Just by looking makes me full...



Us eating mooncake and drinking tea. whoo!~ Haven't been spending much time with my family ever since work started. We shall go for pooridge steamboat after I resigned!



I recieved this sweet postcard all the way from Taiwan! It was a lovely mid autumn surprise! Thankssssssss Jo Mei! :D

No Guts!

我虽然说话可能比别人大声,
气势比别人雄伟,
看起来有点凶。。。

可是来到真的需要做某种决定的时候,
我就变成了一只胆小的小蜜蜂。

我没有勇气。

Yesterday...

Went for tasting in a Italian restaurant @ Jalan Besar yesterday night. The PR manager was friendly and we had 'romantic'dinner together.


Squid ink spag was their specialty. I always try not to eat this even though it is a zhao pai. I don't want to be smiling with a set of black teeth.

Didn't really have to mood and feel and inspiration to take photos yesterday, but still, work is work. It was a very ulu place and Ah Yi met me at Lavender MRT station to specially bring me there. Thank You :)


They are two students from my music school, friendly and nice girls...



V for Victory! Apparently, we all like to pose for V.


And this is the trophy that hits my head and teeth last month. The ball on the top is detachable.

Some idiots stole my Havaianas flip-flops this morning. It's the yellow-green brazilian limited series! RAH!! So old liao still want to steal. Kao.
