楊明學

2009-11-18T22:46:00.000+08:00

楊明學（1980年－2004年1月6日），是台灣已故作詞人。原本在加拿大唸書的他，2002年因罹患罕見的泡狀軟組織腫瘤〔或稱肌肉軟組織腫瘤〕[1]返台就醫，一直到2004年1月因癌細胞侵犯到肺而過世[2]前留下了不少歌詞創作。除了作詞外，他也曾在《明日報》網站上以「卡夫卡」名義發表許多創作。

楊明學的過世讓不少音樂人震撼，2004年1月滾石唱片公司為楊乃文發行《楊乃文第一張精選》時，當時已與滾石唱片沒有合約關係的楊乃文，對於精選集的選歌就在官方網站上表示：「楊明學的過世對心情影響極大，沒有精力參與討論。」[3]在其告別式上首度獻唱兩人合作的歌曲《不眠》的范瑋琪，則曾說過：「我們的結識短暫卻深刻，感謝他讓我了解生命的真諦，也讓我真切懂得人生要珍惜。」[4]

日本歌手Gackt與楊明學亦為好友，兩人是在2003年因擔任王力宏的演唱會嘉賓，透過經紀人邱瓈寬的介紹而認識，據說楊明學過世前，Gackt不但透過電話越洋唱歌為其打氣，楊明學過世時手上戴的佛珠也是Gackt送的。Gackt不但在楊明學過世時馬上放下手邊工作搭機抵台送好友，至今仍不定期到其長眠的《林口頂福陵園》墓園祭拜，兩人的好交情可見一斑。[5]

外型相當不錯的楊明學曾擔任王菲《旋木》一曲MV的男主角，此MV的女主角為其當時女友許維恩。2009年1月前偶像團體B.A.D成員田恩沛與許維恩結婚時，在婚宴進行到新娘拋捧花時，就為其妻演唱這首已故前男友所作的《旋木》，並對她說：「我知道這首歌對妳的意義。」讓許維恩與在場眾多賓客都不禁感動落淚。[6]

孫燕姿 - 我不難過

2009-11-18T22:37:00.002+08:00

詞:楊明學
曲:李偲菘
歌手:孫燕姿

又站在你家的門口
我們重複沉默
這樣子單方面的守候
還能多久
終於你開口向我訴說她有多溫柔
雖然你還握著我的手
但我已不在你心中
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
就讓我走
讓我開始享受自由
回憶很多
你的影子也會充滿我生活
我並不懦弱
你比誰都懂
雖然寂寞
這會是我
最後的寬容
終於你開口向我訴說她有多溫柔
雖然你還握著我的手
但我已不在你心中
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
就讓我走
讓我開始享受自由
回憶很多
你的影子也會充滿我生活
我並不懦弱
你比誰都懂
雖然寂寞
這會是我
最後的寬容
抱緊我
再抱緊我
這一份感動
請你讓我留在胸口
別再說是你的錯
愛到了盡頭
是非對錯
就讓它隨風
忘了所有
過得比你快活
我真的懂
你不是喜新厭舊
是我沒有
陪在你身邊
當你寂寞時候
別再看著我
說著你愛過
別太傷痛
我不難過
這不算什麼
只是為什麼眼淚會流
我也不懂
不要再說
或許這是最好的結果
現在分手
總好過你不愛我一拖再拖
鬆開你的手
離開你左右
我向前走
這會是我
真正的解脫

詞：楊明學
曲：袁惟仁
編曲：黃中嶽
主唱：王菲

擁有華麗的外表和絢爛的燈光
我是匹旋轉木馬身在這天堂
只為了滿足孩子的夢想
爬到我背上就帶你去翺翔
我忘了只能原地奔跑的那憂傷
我也忘了自己是永遠被鎖上
不管我能夠陪你有多長
至少能讓你幻想與我飛翔
奔馳的木馬讓你忘了傷
在這一個供應歡笑的天堂
看著他們的羨慕眼光
不需放我在心上
旋轉的木馬沒有翅膀
但卻能夠帶著你到處飛翔
音樂停下來你將離場
我也只能這樣

范瑋琪 - 不眠

2009-11-18T22:23:00.002+08:00

作詞:楊明學
歌手:范玮琪
专辑:一比一

7点10分清晨时分
慵懒的气氛
睡不着醒不了
我又失了魂
我苦坐着望着日轮
却以为是黄昏
鸟鸣莺声让我回神
才发现已经过了一生
浮浮沉沉假假真真
为谁辛苦为谁认真
为何努力为何牺牲
拼了再拼忍了又忍
还是欲望这种本能
会让人忘了有多心疼
只是不知无论如何
到了最后还不是一个人
到了最后才发现不是一个人

Introducing the late Mr. Yang Ming Xue

2009-11-18T22:20:00.003+08:00

A young and talented man who has passed on and is now in heaven.
Reading through the blogs, links, I came to realize that his songs has touched me through the years.
I thank him for the wonderful lyrics that were written and engraved in my head.

Sharing some of his works with all those who's interested in music.

Photoblog

2009-10-03T02:44:00.002+08:00

I am running out of words and I thick I should try starting a photo-blog instead.

It will just be a showcase and own keepsake of places I've been to.

It can also enrich me and let me enjoy whenever I feel bored.

p/s: gosh! it's not new.. So i've deleted it.
nothing comes free these days anyway.
I'm glad blogspot is still free.

Sharks Fin please....

2009-10-03T02:14:00.002+08:00

Can someone please pass me another bowl of sharks fin?
The type that is just as what I had in chinatown bangkok?

How I miss the food. How I miss my bowl of birds' nest.
Opps, I know that I am killing, but well....

Wonder when the next trip will be.

I wait....

Grand Palace (Thailand)

2009-09-24T20:58:00.002+08:00

2 times in the year, I've been to BKK for some R&R.

It's amazing how the photos are always different and more amazing shots are taken even though it's the same place.

Feeling moody, I don't know what I am writing.
Just feel like leaving a note for remembrance.

I hope to visit not just BKK during my next trip. I want to visit other places too. Ayutthaya is on my goal and also to some rural places to seek my inner most feelings and thoughts.

I am not stressed. I am just sick and not in the right frame of mind, I believe & insist.

Pain Pain

2009-07-26T07:12:00.001+08:00

Just a knock on th e leg and it's swelling like a pig now.
Hope that it's nothing awefully wrong.
Will visit the doctor later and then the sinseh.

Pandemic H1N1

2009-06-26T19:58:00.002+08:00

It's not as dangerous as SARS, but it's really spreading fast.

Whenever someone is down with a flu,""H1N1? You've been to any of the affected countries? Please go and confirm."

Getting sick is a scary thing nowadays. Who's not worried? Having to be quarantined, being scared when it's the occasional flu that you're getting but people look at you with the "H1N1" stare.

Being socially responsible can be tough at times. Having paid and not able to postpone cause you got it dirt cheap for the trip. It's classified under the affected country. Sigh.. I bet I'll still end up going because I'm not rich to throw away the whole package.

Getting things cheap means that you'll have to pay a high price should you need to postpone the dates. Hotel bookings might not be able to change too.

Let me leave it to fate since Singapore should be considered an affected country too.

THE ANSWER IS....11 July 2009

2009-04-16T10:07:00.004+08:00

Ah soh is finally back in action, with a long fighting sword!
And the answer is? Or it will be? I'll be there to find out!

OMG, your tickets are getting more and more expensive, but I will still be there.

I am so excited, so happy, so lost for words.

Dan just asked if I'll be attending the concert in Taiwan. But I can't since it's too expensive as I'm not a high-flyer, I can't possibly fly here and there, indulging myself now that recession is scary.

So I am definitely excited to hear about the ticket sales only this morning at 8:50am.
"Ticket sales for The Answer is will be open via Sistic website at 9am. Sistic counters are only opened from 10am onwards." I was already on the transport and can't be back in tme for 9am.

By 9:33am, I am already in Sistic website, trying to get a best seat. I am quite happy with what I managed to get and I can't wait for that day...

Party Time - 18 Apr 2009

2009-04-16T10:02:00.003+08:00

Finally I'm going for a concert "party".

It's been years since I've been to a concert party, where more than 1/grp of artists perform.

Not to mention the Yes933 awards since I do attend those too.

I remember attending an English party concert, I can't even remember what's the name/theme of that party where me and my school friends really enjoyed.

I hope and wish for a success comes this Saturday.

13jie, we'll meet again.

阿桑 - RIP

2009-04-07T23:14:00.002+08:00

唱紅葉子的阿桑乳癌病逝
[聯合報╱記者袁世珮／台北報導]
歌手阿桑昨天上午病逝。

因「葉子」一曲成名的歌手阿桑，昨天上午因乳癌病逝於新店慈濟醫院，年僅34歲，徒留歌迷仍在PTT版上「等待阿桑，期待飛翔」，昔日同門S.H.E與動力火車都表示十分震驚、難過。
阿桑本名黃嬿璘，2003年底因演唱高收視率的「薔薇之戀」片尾曲「葉子」一曲成名，被公司定位為「許美靜之後的都會聲音」，之後發行「受了點傷」專輯，但在2005年第二張專輯「寂寞在唱歌」後，卻是歌紅、專輯不賣，遭到解約，這幾年零星接兩岸的商演，收入不豐，外傳今年原本要結婚。
阿桑出道時已經28歲，沒想到燦爛的明星生涯一如她的芳華早滅，去年10月在大陸覺得身體不適，回台檢查，才發現是乳癌末期，且癌細胞已轉移到肝肺。阿桑的驟逝，令舊同事頗為錯愕，因為即使大家見面或msn聊天，她都不曾透露，依舊開朗。
阿桑在去年底部落格中，曾寫道：「我好了、清醒了、出現了、快樂了、能見人了，但是，要再等我幾天。」到12月，經紀人汪一平代為在網上留言，要歌迷給阿桑更多空間、鼓勵和祝福。
阿桑的藝名來自於歌聲的特色，她的出道過程也確實「滄桑」，高中選讀影劇科系，畢業後到藝工隊工作5年，好不容易有發片機會，不料大水淹沒demo帶，機會跟著沖走，只好繼續等待，等到「葉子」才終於出頭.

Got to know you through "Qiang wei zhi lian", your voice is so sad that it makes the show even better. Rest in peace and may you be the most beautiful angel.

Bday BBQ (27 Mar 2009) Part II

2009-04-03T18:20:00.006+08:00

A fun filled day with enough food and conversations.
The yam cake was delicious and yummy.

The design was definitely a surprise to me.

Thanks to the 2 organizers and thank you me for a well pitched tent.

There'll be more tent pitching for sure.

Sunrise at East Coast, 28 Mar 2009 (Lunar Bday)

2009-04-03T18:08:00.003+08:00

So in March, I managed to see both sun rise and sun set. I must admit that I prefer the sun set view. Definitely so as I woke up so early to watch the rise, and anxiety turns into xian-ness and the lost of it. Just as I was about to give up, there, I see the big egg yolk rising above the horizons.

A Big Thank You

2009-03-29T21:21:00.002+08:00

This year I had a bbq over the weekend, held by my cousin and my god-sis.

Thaks Xiaoling and Apple for the special arrangement.

Then tent pitching, sunrise and the bbq food was nice.
Had a great time and a good memory to keep me going.

I wish all my friends with the smses, facebook greetings and everything.

I thank my mum for being there for me whenever she can.
I wish all the best of everything in this year to come and next and many many more.

Wish to have my joy spread to everyone.

Happy Birthday to me.

Sunset in Bintan, Mayang Sari Beach Resort

2009-03-26T22:09:00.006+08:00

Celebrated Apple's (Lai) Birthday with a short getaway in Bintan.

19 Mar to 20 Mar was fun.

Booked a sea-view resort at Mayang Sari Beach Resort for 2D1N.

Though the ferry tickets are not cheap (S$49/pax), the beach resort isn't cheap too.

It costs S$174/nite with a sea-view, able to listen to the sound of waves.

It's the best I've ever been to, so far.

The Kelong Restaurant serves good, fresh food with the right servings.

Price-wise, it's definitely on an averge as compared to Singapore as it's in SGD.

But food wise, it's simply delicious and fresh. Live crabs serve in black pepper, really awesome.

Had the chance to view the sunset before the dinner, it's nice.

Seeing the sun descend and the "yolk" disappearing into the sea, it's a nice view.

Glaring as the sun is, it's also a little discomforting to my eyes during the start.

But I must confess that it's been quite some time since I got myself tanned, with the skin peeling, with the need to use some cooling gel.

Looking forward to East Coast tomorrow - for more sun, sand and sea.

And, eyeing for a trip to Koh Samui....

S$283 for a 3D2N Bangkok Trip in JUNE 2009!

2009-03-08T07:34:00.004+08:00

Super Deal for a June Holiday, flying by Jetstar.

Since there's already a plan to visit the Land of Smiles and having been asked to lead a "SH tour" with my god-family, what's better than now.

Though it'll be only a 3D2N trip, I believe as an opener to a 9-yr old kid and family plus my god-mother who's all first timers to Thailand will be fun enough.

An early flight out a late night flight back to SG only cost S$163/pax, inclusive of all taxes.
With the hotel, half-day tour and airport transfer at only S$120/pax, it's no wonder most Singaporeans are still travelling.

I wish and hope that this promotion continues and maybe I can grab a good deal for my long awaited Korea Skiing trip comes next year. (Provided that I am still earning and everything is doing well at work.)

"The early bird catches the worm?"

2009-03-08T07:29:00.002+08:00

I must be mad! During this 3days of my off days, I have suddenly been a good girl.
Waking up at ~7am and sleeping at ~10pm. I am shocked ay myself and I feel funny.

Am I sick? I ask my inner self.
Are you OK? I responded with a thumbs up.

Can't figure out what's happening to my body's clock, I just make use of the morning, checking my emails, catching up on my friends' blogs and enjoy the morning time reading the papers.

Since I am on night shift tonight, I shall enjoy and catch a nap later to ensure that I will be awake at work.

The feeling of "R"

2009-02-06T11:47:00.002+08:00

During this year, the most talked about for now is recession.
How badly Singapore is going to be hit, how our jobs will be affected, how we need to save.

For me, it seems really a first. I didn't feel any effect when SARS hit.
We only had to ensure our daily temperature is within the stated specs.
It was a SEA affected matter. I remember I even went for a holiday where I was being scanned while walking out of immigration. Nothing was wrong.

But this year, it seems different.
Everyone, no matter which job me or my friends are in, we're talking about the effects.
Everyone is now suddenly interested in news, in the economy.

I sincerely hope that we'll not be badly hit. We will be able to stay afloat. Let's just continue to strive and be positive.

Happy New Year

2009-01-28T16:16:00.002+08:00

As we start the "niu"(OX) year ahead, I'll like to wish everyone a happy new year.

May we have a better year and may the recession not hit us too hard and long. Anticipate not in what we got hit, but let's anticipate to a better year, staying ahead and believing in what we can do.

I must say "Thank you" for all my relatives for not forgetting my "äng boh" even when I'm not able to be present for the gathering due to work commitments.

A big thank you for my friends for the sms to let me know that I'm not forgotten.

As I grow older, the urge to celebrate seems dimmer, but the mood remains.

As I search to find a balance in my life, let me try to ensure that in 2009, I got to meet up with more friends to catch up.

Have a happy woopy moo moo year.

Haapy 2009!!!!!

2008-12-31T18:56:00.003+08:00

Sept 2008 - I love Taiwan

2008-10-22T22:27:00.003+08:00

Taiwan is fun. And it's also depends on the gang you go with, isn't it?
We has joy, we had fun, we were also honoured enough not to be heavily stuck by the typhoon!

Of course there were places we missed due to the typhoon week.
But we're lucky too that we managed to explore most of the other places that we planned.

I will definitely go back for a 3rd time.

But there's also many places that I've yet to go.
Taiwan, thanks for the nice memory and for me to be able to relax and rest.

Upgrade of handset

2008-03-15T16:00:00.002+08:00

It's never easy to get used to the new tech, but it's fun with all the exploring.
A new and not easy to learn gadget. Still trying to get used to it.

It's nice though that life can get more organized with this little powerful gadget.

It's making me with lots of fun.

I've been busy with mapling, with this little O2 atom life and getting used to having to do OT and with lots of paper work for the start of a new production still in progress.

Cheers to all, sh

Merry Christmas to all

2007-12-24T23:49:00.001+08:00

It's been removed. (22 Oct 2008)

to be cont....

2007-10-14T06:13:00.000+08:00

This will be my last blog till maybe after 21st Oct2007.

It's been fun leaving messages in blog, enjoying reading my past posts and also my friends.
A way to interact and to keep in touch.

But this is more like a place for me to complain, to express and to enjoy myself.
I'm enjoying my blog, enjoying learning new things from friends and trying to find some title.

Now I can understand why someone just simplye put "hi" everytime she leaves a message on line.
I believe after asking her, she's started to change and there's more different titles from her now. (Thou shall not say her name for fear, I'll be wacked)

Anyway, I've lots to update, lots to share. 6 months alone(no family members) in a foreign country is definitely fun and interesting. So much to share that I don't know where to start.
I believe I'll be able to upload more photos when I'm back.

Currently restricted with the internet access, this notebook belongs to the company, so I can't do much coz' I'm not an administrator!

well, as the title suggests, I'll be back.
soon, i hope..

Notebook is corrupted - Excuse to blog till 21st Oct 2007

2007-10-13T18:37:00.000+08:00

I'm definitely not happy.
1 more week left in Germany and this has happened.
Though I'm prepared that it will be dying, but I thought it could last till when it's back in Singapore.
It has been a good servent to me for the past few years, I've only rebooted it 2 times in all.
And I was left stunned when it died on my yesterday afternoon.
Lucky that I've saved the reports I did on Friday, else I'll be crying more than angry.

I'll try to get it back to life once I'm back in Singapore.
Though I also have a PC system at home, I'm trying to see if it can be recovered since it's only with a missing file. (I certainly hope it's not hdd crash).
I've saved lots of link and I wish to get them back. They were my companion during my 6 months in Germany.

So for now, stay tuned that I'll be back....

Yes 933 Production - Dark Alley II (*clap)

2007-10-12T05:05:00.001+08:00

It's so good to chance upon Cruz Teng's (Ding Zhiyong) blog. And I had the chance to listen to his Dark Alley II production (Their Guan Tou Ju Chang). It's great.

So I am here typing, to share with you all, if you're free and interested, click on the link to get into his page to download. No regrets man!

I'm not lazy!!!

2007-10-12T04:43:00.000+08:00

I've not been here for reasons. I have been busy finishing my reports and also with the presentation that I've got to present on my last day in Germany.

Yes, days are nearing, I'll be back in Singapore come next Sunday.
It's been a really nice and fruitful trip for me and for my fellow colleagues too.
Tours done, knowledge learnt, new friends made, and many more feelings too.

Finally finished my shopping for gifts, but what's left will be the many boxes of chocolates to be bought soon. And finally finished my reports, what's left will be the presentation ppt slides. To be continued tomorrow....

Bless me with more ideas and speed. I will give my best.

Nike - Just do it. (Ops, will I get fined in court for using this phrase?)

Happy National Day to Germany

2007-10-03T06:52:00.000+08:00

Happy National Day, Germany.

It is very funny that I only got to know this after a Colleague trainer managed to tell us that tomorrow it National Day. Wednesday, 03 Oct 2007 happens to be my off day and I was telling them that I want to get some gifts for my friends back in Singapore. I planned to travel to Dresden, a bigger town where there are more shopping centers. Ines was telling me that it's a holiday and most shops aren't open. I asked and she didn't tell me the exact holiday name. She just told me it's the day when the East and West got unified. As I am bad with history, I didn't even think of it as a National Day. As we're working on shifts, it's still working days for us. But it's my off day, I lamented. Now, I have no place to go.

Sigh, but when I learned that it's Germany's National Day and being in Germany, I feel that it's just right that I say Happy Birthday in my blog.

And by the way, it's different in Germany, it's a public holiday and MOST SHOPS are closed, so it's another Sunday to our dislike.

Hope all my German colleagues who's having day off can enjoy and have a good party celebration.

German Unity Day (From Wikipedia)

The Day of German Unity (German: Tag der Deutschen Einheit) is a national holiday in Germany, celebrated on October 3, which commemorates the anniversary of German reunification in 1990.

An alternative choice would have been the day the Berlin Wall came down, namely November 9, 1989, which coincided with the anniversary of the founding of the first real German Republic in 1918 and the defeat of Hitler's first coup in 1923; however November 9 was also the anniversary of the first large-scale Nazi-led pogroms against Jews in 1938 (so called Kristallnacht), and the day was thus considered inappropriate as a national holiday. Therefore, October 3, 1990, the day of formal reunion was chosen instead.

Before reunification, in Western Germany the "Day of German Unity" was June 17; this was an interpretation of a failed 1953 revolt staged by East German workers mainly against a raise in work quotas. The revolt was crushed with Soviet aid; the exact number of fatalities is unknown, but estimated at somewhat above 100. In East Germany, the national holiday was October 7, being called Day of the Republic (Tag der Republik).

Working on Sunday is good (In Germany)

2007-09-30T17:55:00.000+08:00

Damn it, lost my post again!

2nd time writing on this title.

Anyway, the sun, moon and stars are out again after so many days off.

Sundays are good working days.
Supermarkets, shoppings aren't open on Sundays, not even big cities like Berlin and Munich.
Only some eateries, museums, castles and open places are opened to public.
That's why I like working on Sundays, so that during my off days, I can go shopping and walking.
Germans usually have family gathering, do gardening on these days.
And they'll stock up their houses with food come Saturdays. So we try not to rush with them on Saturdays.

Well, cut short the post as I have to go to work.

Happy Mooncake Festival (Part II)

2007-09-29T05:21:00.000+08:00

Sigh, was reading from internet news that the moon will be at her roundest comes the 27th or 28th Sept. (The 16th & 17th on the Aug of our Chinese lunar calendar).

These few days have been raining non-stop in Freiberg, so gone my view of the big, bright and round moon. I was hoping that I can at least get a glimsp of the moon, but no, it's been 3~4 days without the sun, moon and stars. It's like Singapore, omg, raining non-stop.

Heard from my German colleague that this is Autumn weather, it's the norm. I simply hate it. And temperature gets really chilly. Not over 15deg C at all. My room's heater has been kept on since Autumn.

I miss the stars, the sun, and the big round moon. It's definitely true that the stars here shines brighter, the moon is rounder, so the phrases that we often heard in Chinese, (Wai Guo de yue liang bi jiao yuan, xing xing bi jiao duo) is correct leh, no kidding.

Now I just wish for a few days where I can enjoy the sun, the moon and the stars.
I looked in the street on my way to work today, gosh, the trees are beautifully decorated with its' green and red leaves, and with the wind blowing quite wildly, the streets are lined in Red too.

Punctuality

2007-09-27T05:59:00.000+08:00

Punctuality is so important to me that unknowingly in my life now. Thanks to my teachers in school that I have this good habit.

I was on late shift tonight and as I'm the only one working, I've booked a taxi so that it can come and fetch me back once I'm off from my shift work. And due to some reasons, I only got out from my production floor at 9:50+pm, got changed and staring at my watch, gosh, it's already 9:58pm. Saying byes to my German colleagues, I hurriedly walked towards the guardhouse (not near, it's about 400m away from our fab). When I reach there, I realized that the taxi wasn't here yet. Worried that I was too late, I went on to check with the guards and they told me no taxi was in sight. Thus, I waited alone, in the cold autumn (11deg to be exact) and thinking why am I the one waiting. After 5 mins, I decided to ask the security guard to help me make a call to confirm my taxi. 5~10 more mins, he promptly answered me after the call.

I was obviously angry, and thinking, tomorrow I shall not have to walk so fast, the taxi should be waiting for me, not the other way around. I waited 20mins for the taxi to arrive. Sad.. How could this happened, but as the driver is not very fluent with her German and I can't really speak German, I just sat in the car and relaxed with the music in my ears.

I was thinking, if it's in Singapore, what would have happened? LOL.

Well, I am going home pretty soon, so this taught me a lesson. Punctual at all times doesn't help at times. Especially when I'm out alone in the cold autumn night. I know what to do tml liao.

Mooncake festival in Germany

2007-09-26T02:57:00.000+08:00

Well, as title expected, it's nothing much in Germany. I did not see the big moon as it's raining today. It's a cold autumn now and it'll get colder come October. It's not as cold as I expected. The weather is nice (as long as it don't rain).

Date is getting closer and closer, soon I'll be typing my blog in SG. This trip is meaningful. I've definitely learned a lot during the past few months. My group is also getting closer with each other and the rapport built is really cool, really become like a family. Because we're all over here, we'll celebrate each other's birthday and we have cake session every once in a while. Sept has the most cakes so far, it's scary.

As for moon cake, was talking to friends and I realize I didn't miss the day or the cakes. Haha, I believe it's the pomelo that I've missed more. The ones where the fruit is red, the Ipoh ones, delicious.

Ok ok, time to go and continue my report, I'm really lagging with them. Hope I'll be able to finish it in time.

Happy Mooncake Festival,
sh

Experience with Gliding plane

2007-09-25T02:31:00.000+08:00

Had the chance to experience being in a small little jet and cruising above the land in a engine-less plane. It is great fun but a little bit too fast. The little jet flew on the theory simply like that of flying a kite. It's simply fun and exciting.

The chance came unexpectedly when there's a knock on my door telling me that Dr Merkwitz were looking for the 3 ladies and is hoping to bring us for a ride. (The guys had it the day before). Gosh, did I hear wrongly? He's here without our knowing. A very impromptu suggestions as he saw the clear blue sky and thought that it's a good day and a good chance to bring us over too.

Thank you so much, Marcus. It really was a fun ride and a great experience.

As downloading is really slow, I've hereby added just 2 photos, will try to have more when I can.

It's really not easy to upload photos with a less than perfect "wireless broadband" here in pension.

Greetings from Freiberg

2007-09-22T23:03:00.000+08:00

Oh mine, I know how long I've been missing. Guess what, I've finally realised that this blog can be viewed in English, haha.

Had difficulties with the site since it's in German, so now I have no more excuses not to be updating my blog.

Training is coming to an end soon and really fast, I'll be back in Singapore.
Not really looking forward to home as I've yet to see snow. Sad, can't have a White Christmas.

I'll be looking for a chance, I promise.

Have I been misses? I doubt so. I've been so independent since young that mum can't be bothered if I'm home, haha. Well, at least she doesn't have to worry about me since I was young, a good one?

Well, her gal is going home soon and I believe I'll have more requests for soup then. Mum, be prepared.

Here I go, flying again

2007-08-05T22:05:00.000+08:00

At the airport now, flying to Dresden to continue my training.
It's not SQ, it's LH. So I won't be able to enjoy the entertainment system. I've got with my mags to tide away the boredom.

A month passed so quickly that I didn't get chance to meet up with my pals and friends.
Let's do it once I'm back for good in Oct 2007.

I hope that this flight back will be better, the aircon will be better, and the people beside me will be better too. haha..

long long flight to go, i don't like the hours in a plane, it's plain boredom.

Expectations

2007-07-27T07:46:00.000+08:00

Everyone somehow have expectations.

Expectations at work.
Expectations when travelling.
Expectations during school.
Expectations everywhere.

I didn't expect much when I travelled this June, and I was in for surprises.

Having already toured Paris before, I didn't expect it to be any difference.

In the first place, I didn't even plan to travel so far. But then, I manage to go to Copenhagen(Denmark), Amsterdam(Holland), Brussel(Belgium) and Paris(France). I must say it's a good trip out. Staying in a hostel was a great experience. It's totally different from the hostel that we have in Singapore. Singaporeans are blessed I suppose.

Attached are photos of the 5 different places I've been to.

This was found just outside the Malmo Centrum Station of Sweden. We didn't have chance to tour Sweden as we only did a train transfer there.

The little mermaid of Copenhagen, Denmark.
Copenhagen is really expensive and they don't use Euros.
This little mermaid is really not tall, but the stone it sits on is huge.

Windmills doesn't need more introduction. We went on a half day excursion to see the windmills. It was really cold but nice. The sights were awesome.
There's not many windmills left in Holland and this place is under protection now.

A photo of me with Manneken Pis (a really small boy pee-ing) in Brussel, Belgium. Belgium is known for its' chocolates and they're really nice.
What surprised me was the architecture and buildings there are nice. People are warm and the place is good. It simply fills me with lots of surprises.

This needs no introduction. Standing in the middle of the junction, crossing the road. Realised that this was a beautiful photo moment, so we just waited and took the photo.
Me, in front of the "Arc De Triomphe", if you didn't know, in Paris France.

What's up

2007-07-26T07:47:00.000+08:00

Well, I am trying to establish a new photo site as Flickr is restricting my upload.
Didn't realise that there's a limit if you're not a paid user.

As usual, you won't know till you tried.

Still, I love the things happening in Flickr, so the next time I upload photos there, it'll only for the nicer pictures that I love then.

In this way, I can have more photos that I can share with all in my blog.

Time flies, I'm about to finish my 1 month help in SG and I'll be back in Germany to continue my training.
I do hope that I'll be able to grasp more from the trainers and I'll be able to adapt quickly back into the shift pattern.

Life is short, play hard.

I am back!

2007-07-17T10:58:00.000+08:00

Wow, I'm back
Time flies... 2 weeks gone and I've not updated myself.
Forgive me, not that I didn't think of it.

I am pretty occupied week in, week out.
What have I been doing?
Meeting out with pals, getting to work (Not 1 mth rest lah, it's working time)
Having meetings
Doing reports
Catching up with movies
Buying stuffs, shopping (Great Singapore Sale)
Watching tv
Enjoying mum's food
Enjoying Singapore's food (I'm growing fat again! sigh..)

There's lots more to do and the last thing I remember is, updating here.
haha.

Problem

2007-06-21T04:24:00.000+08:00

It's tough trying to connect to the internet.

There's problem almost everyday and we've given up trying to get help.
Let's hope that it'll be good when I comes back in August.

I'll be back at home in July and there's lots to share about this trip.

stay tuned,
sh

Outing day

2007-05-28T15:20:00.000+08:00

well, today is a German holiday, so not working and we're going out
I cannot remember the exact place where we'll be going.

I know that there's going to be BBQ and games.

It'll be fun.

Hope that all of us will enjoy and I'll be able to update after this outing.

I am good

2007-05-21T20:07:00.001+08:00

Greetings with a cute baby photo. He was smiling heartily at me when I took out my handphone to take a photo of him. Really seems like kids love me, haha. This photo was taken when we went to Meissen last Sunday, 13th May.

Time flies, I've been here for almost half a month. Work shift have started, so we have less time to hang around and explore. Today is my rest day, then I'll start another 7 days of Late shift. Training has been good. I hope that I can grasp all things well.

We're having some basic German lessons too. Haven't really been able to grasp the gist to German yet, it's really different from English. Non-living things are also given their genre and it's tough to differenciate. The sun is a "she", the moon is a "he".....

I simply can't understand why????

Trainers have been nice, everyone has been good and life goes on. It's just basically working for now in a not so familiar place, that's about all.

Report writing time, have to submit during the 1st day of the next shift and that should be the toughest to our training here. Expectations are flying high on us.

Bless me then.

Sad! Frustrated! My photos are gone AGAIN!!

2007-05-13T06:22:00.000+08:00

Well, I am totally devasted. All my nice photos are gone again!! The whole photos that I took today during our trip to Dresden is now gone. What on earth happen, I am not sure.

2G XD card is too heavy a load for card readers? Too heavy for the lousy computers? What on earth is happening, I don't know. This is the 3rd or 4th consecutive times that my photos are missing. I am angry, in a sense that why is it happening so frequently. Till I find out the reasons, I will not be able to have a good photography session. Argh...

Pardon me that no new photos will be updated then. As my card keeps giving me this stupid message "card not initialized", and all the photos inside, GONE....

I am not cool anymore and I think I better sleep. Photos will have to be taken again. But some places, I might not get another chance to go, so most likely, I'll get from my friends. Just that there won't be me in the photos. It's sad... but life goes on.

Please pray for me that it doesn't happen another time. Argh....

No Wireless!!!

2007-05-09T02:55:00.000+08:00

Hi all. Updated my photo album and lovely pictures of me. Don't scold me as I have problem with internet access. We are all hoping that it can be resolved soon. It is bad but in a way, I can have more sleep. Still not so used to the 8pm sunlight, yeah! the sun sets at around 8 plus....

I am now using my friend's notebook. I will update all soon.

Training has been ok and start next week, I'll be on shift. Hope that I will be able to absorb much during training and I will be alright.

Take care all and I'll update again.

Greetings from Germany

2007-05-06T05:59:00.000+08:00

I've reached Freiberg, Germany since 3rd May 2007.
Due to the lack of internet facilities, I am unable to really connect to the world.

And I will put up my photos soon.
Went to the Dresden city today and had some nice photos taken too.

All will be shared, hopefully soon.

Take care and let's keep in touch through email if can for the moment.

Back to "school"

2007-04-04T21:37:00.000+08:00

Yeah, as you can see, it's like going back to school for me. Ok, if you didn't know, I've got myself a new job. This time as a manufacturing engineer in a wafer fab company. Since it's a new set up for this new fab and I'm totally new to wafer fab, so now I am, studying. I'll be leaving in May for a half year training in Germany. I really cherish at this chance and I believe I'll come back a better man (Woman to be exact). I' ll be sure to update here so that I can share my experience with all friends.

I've my new bosses to thank for all the notes given to me. I will really try my best to pick up everything and learn as much as I can. I will treasure this chance to finally get the chance to work in wafer fab. I've waited long for the chance of working in a fab and this great opportunity just came along.

Just when I was waiting for a chance to go overseas, here, I have a chance to to go for training.
I will grab at this chance, I'll give my 101% for this and let's see what will happen.

As Nike days, "Just do it"

夢遊 by 孫燕姿

2007-04-04T12:56:00.000+08:00

*穿過時光機器　我一定可以再遇見你　循著鋼琴聲　找到你迷惑的神情
不夠高的身影　計算著與夢想的差距　看你努力奔跑　但是終點在哪裡

未來總很神秘　有暴風雨　也有好天氣　你曾經可以選擇　輕易放棄
Dala...　Dala...　感謝你沒有忘記　做你自己

跌倒時受的傷　在我身上　有相同痕跡　發現我的笑容　成長在你哭泣裡
未來會很神奇　會經歷愛　也學會期待　雖然有很多懷疑　你不明白

＊Dala...　Dala...　幸福的答案我也還沒解開　
So So Ti　So So Do　約定好　醒來之後　要再次回到未來　陪我夢遊

Repeat ＊

要再次回到未來　陪我夢遊

It's a nice song and definitely feels that this album is much better than the last one.
This album brings me more joy and the lyrics are really so much closer to life.

逆光 - 孙燕姿

2007-03-31T23:28:00.000+08:00

也许我一直害怕有答案
也许爱情仅在风里打转
离开释怀很短暂又重来
有时候自问自答我不要困难把我们击散
我责备自己那么不勇敢遗憾没有到达
拥抱过还是害怕用力推开你我一人留下
有一束光那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭我逆着光却看见
那是泪光那力量
我不想再去抵挡面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方一直就在我身旁
我不要困难把我们击散我责备自己那么不勇敢
遗憾没有到达拥抱过还是害怕
用力推开你我一人留下
有一束光那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭我逆着光却看见
那是泪光那力量
我不想再去抵挡面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方一直就在我身旁
我以为无路后退反复证明这份爱有多不对
背对着你如此漆黑忍住疲惫
睁开眼打开窗才发现你就是光芒!
有一束光那瞬间
是什么痛得刺眼你的视线是谅解
为什么舍不得熄灭我逆着光却看见
那是泪光那力量
我不想再去抵挡面对希望逆着光
感觉爱存在的地方一直就在我身旁

光芒
你是光芒

Birthday Celebration 2007

2007-03-30T12:04:00.000+08:00

Here I am. Feeling restless, feeling full. Wanted to go JB but in the end, decided to stay put.

How I celebrated my day yesterday. The afternoon started with Uncle's present with a blackforest ice-cream cake. Cousin was here with me to blow out my cake too.

Then went for lunch at the Suntec Link, New York New York. It's a cosy place to have a good chat and all. We sat in one of the enclosed "room" and it is really nice. The price is really reasonable considering the good ambience and the big big plate of ribs I got. Can't finish it at all, simply too huge for my liking.

Went to catch Mr Bean after that. It's a nice witty show and he's dumbness really light up my mood. Wanted to go bowling but it was quite late. Went to the Body Shop's warehouse sale and really got some good bargains. The products will come in handy during my Germany trip. (OK, I know, what Germany trip?) I've changed my job, will be going Germany for a half year training come May 2007. Don't envy me, haha.

Dinner was just a less simple meal taken at Blk85 market. It's a great day and it's long since I really celebrated the whole of Birthday. Thanks friends and all for the presents, the smses, the little chats here and there to liven up my day.

1 year older

2007-03-29T10:19:00.000+08:00

1 year older, few years wiser. Oh, so old liao, refused to count the number of candles needed anymore. As it goes, age is a secret for ladies....

Hoping that today will be a good day and will update more after the day's activities.

May all my wishes come true.

Thanks mum for giving birth to a naughty girl here.
Thanks mum that I'm healthy and fun.

Changes

2007-03-28T17:25:00.000+08:00

Finally managed to add some elements to my blog.

I like the layout now. And if you've not realized. I've added a header picture to liven my blog.
I've added a little photo album to share my photos with you all.
I've added a wish list for myself.

Well, I've changed some of the fonts here and there.

I'll like to update more often when I can. And I hope it'll be a joy especially when I'm not in Singapore. I am not sure if I can have access to internet at all, but I'll be crossing my fingers for now.

OK, stay tune for more actions. I got to get ready for it's party time..

....

2007-03-22T22:39:00.000+08:00

....
Sigh.. Rewrite again. What I just wrote has been erased. Always have this stupid thing happening!!

Listened to Yanzi's 10th album today. It's good. Really give me some surprises this time round. Happy that this album is good.

Going to start work with my new company come 2nd April. Really looking forward to the new challenges ahead. Hope to learn, adjust fast and be able to work as a team. It's never easy with all new people around but I believe we'll be able to gel better together too.

Time is running out for me. Play as I can, swim as I can, enjoy as I can. One more week to real life once more.

....

Relaxed

2007-03-13T14:38:00.000+08:00

Yeah, that's how I'm feeling right now.
Not that much to share, but I've got a new job.

Seems like I'm always changing job yeah. But why not if one can't be satisfied with the present job. Things are not so simple when it's time for us to tender, to work through the remaining months and still have to be truly professional on it.

And it's never simple to adjust to the new environment, get to know new people, get to work out the terms and things again. But it's always a nice and new challenge that I look ahead to.

Friends always ask me, "Why you always so lucky, can a job so fast? Wow, you went for the interviews and being offered, so which one you going to choose?"
.... It's never easy finding a job you like, and you'll never really know what you'll be getting untill you try it. I believe that putting 101% into the job, and you'll be able to see the rewards in due time.

No worries about all this, time isn't right yet. Will tell all soon about my new job.

Meanwhile, I'm still enjoying myself and yes, I'm liking it.

haha.

Happ piggy Year 新年新希望

2007-02-24T21:05:00.000+08:00

Ah... Not that I'm late, just that it sucks big time. I finised writing the other day, and when I post, this stupid error came out again. And thus all my writings were gone. OK, I was careless, I didn't save it. I always forgets to save it. Well, the error beats me big time, I was so d*** angry, I just shut off my notebook.

Well, happy Birthday to everyone of us. In the Chinese custom, today's everyone's birthday. Went dinner with my family at East Coast. It was a simple yet nice one.

And then next week, it'll be the 15th day and the "end" of Chinese New Year. In this piggy year, I wish everyone a good health, prosperous year and of course a happ year.

I've more to update but let me just confirmed everything first before I share with all.

Jiangnan Trip

2007-01-20T00:21:00.000+08:00

My first trip to China, and off I went to Jiangnan area.

It's nice and worth all the planning. Though I didn't manage to meet mr. snowman, but the weather was fantastic and wonderful.

Will update again when I have more time. Haha....

I know i know, i have been lazing around. (Busy is not a good excuse anymore)

The Army Boy -- Z J LAI

2006-10-07T17:37:00.000+08:00

Latest update got to be my brother's new job. Being the army boy and serving the nation.

Photos to show how happy he was during his 1st book out on the 24th Sept 2006.

>>>> Preparing to tuck into mum's home made dessert.

>>> Enjoying his dessert and at the same time, being a model
for the zoo's photographer.
"See that bugs' bunny ears? Courtesy of yours truely, Sergent SH Lai.

>>> Preparing to book in, folding his clothes and packing his "barang barang". Guess what, all he's Chocolote biscuits, cookies were all snapped up by his bunkmates as he's too weak to eat. Haha, weak as in -> no strength! So he's being asked not to touch till he's able to pass his fitness. (I think it'll be quite some time till he'll pass it. Good luck, boy)

>>> Getting dressed up in his Smart 4 and relaxing abit till it's time to check back into "chalet Tekong". He definitely looks smart in this new uniform of his. haha. Looks more man now. And he's really dark now too.

>>>>> One very serious shot to call his own. Look at the sweat on him. This photo clearly tells us how hot his smart4 is. Looking at him sweating and wiping off the sweat, I can't say he's smart after that. Feel the heat for him, haha

>>>>>>> Last shot before he leaves for his chalet. This is what we call smart. He's definitely been doing good, training and training. Hope he'll be able to enjoy and get himself really fit.

All the way brother, hope you'll be able to bring us good news soon. And not, I haven't pass the test. haha...

19 Sept 2006

2006-09-19T22:55:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to update.
Haven't really been writing as I've not much to write.

Thoughts, there are a lot. Share, I feel not.
Have been sick, well and sick again.

Brother is into army and he'll be back this weekend. Shall listen to his little stories and update all.
Only miss him when he's into army, haha. It's usually the case, you only feel it when you've lost it. When will we leard to cherish?

Anyone have a good lobang to get me abroard to work? Feel so bored in SG, feel like breathing some fresh air somewhere. Feel like going somewhere for some joy, feel like working somewhere where I can let my brain rest, feel the life and be better.

UK, US, Australia, anyone can bring me out?
I feel bored! Very bored!

Count ....

2006-08-29T21:46:00.000+08:00

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...... had inventory count for the past few days. Went through quite smoothly & quickly. I believe the warehouse guys really did a good pre-preparation for this big major count. Well done guys.

Was told that there'll be another one come this November. Hope all's be well too.

And well, other than the count, there's the lunch treat that came along. Hopefully I won't be stuff to my neck. Haha.

Nothing much to update otherwise. I am doing fine, getting well. And I think I need a haircut soon. Very soon.

Ok then, chios

England's new Captain

2006-08-12T11:06:00.000+08:00

Congratulations to England for having 2 fabulous captains to choose from after
the retirement of Mr David Bechkam as the captain.
And though I'm a Liverpool fan, but I believe it's good to see John Terry being named
as the captain, while Gerrard was named the vice-captain.
It must have been a honour to lead the national team and it do spurs you on to fight well.
I was thinking if it'll be the same if it's me choosing the captain. I believe the answer
woould be John Terry too. Let me say why I'll choose him then.

Find the comparison chart below:
club Captain
Stable
Influential
Good leadership qualities

Terry is a defender while Stevie is a midfielder.

Wow, don't they look alike, other than their position of play.
And, they're both 1980s babies.

Then, the 1 area where it's really crucial to me.
I would like and prefer my leader to be able to lead the team
the whole time on the pitch, I won't wish for any major change if he's to be substitute.
So in this major case, I'll pick Terry over Stevie.
Simply because the chances of substituting a midfielder is always higher to that
of substituting a defender, agree?
As both are young, very determined, there's no problem at all.
Another factor will be the dressing room scene. I would have to be really
observant to see how my 2 cadinates gel with the rest of the group.
haha...That, I will have to pass as I have no chance at all to know how
well both of them did, but it does plays a few points to the choosing of the captaincy.

As a coach, it's simply obvious why McClaren chooses Terry over Stevie,
if you can see my view, yeah.

Anyway, as a supporter of Liverpool and England,
let's hope for better things to come with a new coach, a new captain.

Go England, go go go

"Bai Ka" in town

2006-08-09T16:32:00.000+08:00

Well, have been a bai ka since Sat. Not able to work since Monday till today. I will have to be at work tomorrow.
Have seen the sinseh twice, feeling better. But still in the limping stage. Hate it.

Why is there such a big lobang on the road (not in Singapore lah). If only I didn't try to rush myself to get back home. Sigh.. Just because of this, I managed to have a few days rest. But I would rather be at work than suffer like this. Please get well soon. I want a 100% fit ankle.

I miss my swimming. haha..
When I get back to work, I hope I won''t be stressed out, alot to be settled this time.

我的腳腕受傷了。希望能快點康復。
雖然好很多了﹐ 還是不能走太快﹐ 不能活潑亂跳。。。
怎麼會受傷﹖ 馬來西亞的那路凹凸不平﹐ 就在過馬路的時候﹐踏近了一個洞﹐ 就這樣的扭到了腳腕。幸好還能慢慢的過馬路﹐ 沒被嚇倒。

醫生說好好照顧﹐ 少走路﹐ 那麼多5/6天就會好了。我期待﹐ 我一定會很快就好起來的。
祝福我自己吧

I wish for world peace.
I hope to see less illness.
I hope for a better tomorrow.

cheers,
sh

榴蓮香-->臭丫﹗﹗﹗﹗

2006-07-22T15:37:00.000+08:00

多數人都覺得榴蓮是香的﹗ 我卻不覺得。
太臭了﹐ 就好像煤氣﹐ 放屁的味道﹐ 真的是臭氣丫﹗

有一次﹐ 朋友吃了榴蓮後﹐ 就來找我聊天﹐ 她口一開﹐ 我就突然"哇"的一聲﹐ 掉頭就跑﹐ 真的是受不了。
還有一次﹐ 弟弟上廁所。他出來後﹐我也想上﹐ 不過﹐ 一進去﹐ 門還沒關﹐ 就跑了出來。因為他之前吃了榴蓮﹐ 那味道就擴散了整間廁所。討厭﹐害我得忍﹐不能立刻上廁所。

每次我說我不愛﹐不喜歡﹐不吃榴蓮時﹐幾乎所有朋友都不怎麼相信。"什麼﹖這麼好吃﹐你不喜歡﹖" 。。。。"很好吃的﹐ 來﹐ TRY一口" 真的好反感﹗

不喜歡就不吃﹐ 干嘛就是要人家嘗試呢﹖

其實小時候有吃﹐ 不過不知道為何大了﹐就覺得它好臭﹐ 好惡心。尤其是吃後﹐那臭味就一直遺留在嘴巴裡﹐ 手上﹐ 甚至是放屁﹐打嗝﹐上一號﹐都是那惡心的味道。。。。。
就可能是這樣吧﹐我現在都會遠離榴蓮5metres。

所以我的朋友們﹐ 如果你們不知道我不喜歡榴蓮﹐ 現在就知道了。也請你們如果吃了﹐就暫時不要靠近我吧。最好是2天後﹐才來和我說話。謝謝合作。。。。。 (哈哈)

sh週末心情日記

2006-07-17T21:51:00.000+08:00

星期六出門了。因為上星期已經看中了我要的Zen Neeon's Stick On﹐ 所以又跑去了濱海彎的Creative店去買。買了之後﹐ 真是開心﹐ 一回家就去把我的MP3機打扮的漂漂亮亮。就因為開心﹐ 所以就決定上網寫華文Blog. (http://www.sg.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=13&subcategory=483&product=12982) 你是否能猜到我買了什麼組合嗎﹖ 下星期才揭曉謎底吧。

哪裡知道﹐ 用錯的方程式﹐ 結果出現的都是亂碼﹐ 真的好遺憾。原本還想﹐ 沒關係﹐ 我有"copy"一份﹐ 哪知道﹐ 完全都"paste"不到。真的是倒霉。

昨天到姐姐那去游泳了。因為天氣好熱﹐ 所以下水游泳是好開心的。不過星期天游泳﹐ 真的是不太好﹐ 因為好多人﹐ 特別是很多吵鬧的小孩子﹐ 所以變成很不爽。哈哈。我以前也是這樣吵的吧。選擇了很多不一樣的天到姐姐那裡去游泳﹐ 我看﹐ 還是星期五傍晚和星期六下午是最好的。人沒很多﹐ 游泳池也不會那麼多人﹐ 所以就比較好。下星期﹐ 我想﹐ 還是可能星期六去游好了。

最近要開始多運動﹐ 少吃零食了。這樣才能好好的讓身體健康。我要努力減肥﹗
祝福我吧。

好久不見的朋友﹐ 你們好嗎﹖ 很久沒聯絡的朋友﹐ 你們跑到哪裡去了﹖ 來個email吧

I'm still awake!!

2006-07-15T03:11:00.000+08:00

Hmm, I am tired, my eyes are closing, but here I am, still awake. Not sure why, it'll happen on weekends. And come Monday, I'll be a walking zombie again.

Is it due to the World Cup, the after effect of waking at 3am to watch has taken its' toll on me.
Haha... So here I am, awake, but there's no nice shows, and I've no dvds to watch. Have been reading alot on the soccer scene, and seems like Fifa will finally look into the incident between Zizou (Z.Zidane) and Materazzi. Worse will be that Zizou may be stripped off the award for Golden Ball (Awarded to the best player during the WC 2006) It makes me think, 1 mistake can cost your entire career to be doom? He certainly was rash for that moment, and I can understand how hard it's been for him to be constantly "shoot" by that big-mouthed defender. But as a sportsperson, there's no way where we can take matters into our own hands. That mistake was really big.

But to me, he's still a great player. A player who brightens up the WC, haha. And the Italy defender, the captain, he's really awesome. So commanding in defence, so determined. He's short for a defender but he's marking skills are great.

EPL is going to be back soon, and seems like Liverpool are going to be a better team again. Go pools, I'll support you always.

The Finale -- WC

2006-07-09T12:30:00.000+08:00

Yo... It was definitely a good game this early morning. Did you watch it? If you haven't, bet you've missed 1 good showdown between Germany and Portugal. The match was to determined who finish this WC2006 in 3rd.

Both teams played attacking football and it was real excitement with back to back activities happening at the goalmouth area. It was fun to see, wasn't boring and well, it's definitely worth my staying up.

It ends my day with some "woah" and hopefully the final will be just as nice, though I believe the fight will be in the midfield instead. Both Italy and France have let in little goals and both teams are good at midfield. I'm expecting little goalmouth activities for tomorrow morning.

Well done Germany for a game well fought, well won, truely a great match too. And Portugal have indeed found themselves a star in C.Ronaldo. But Germany too have shone with their own bright young stars.

So do stay awake for tomorrow's showdown at 2am. It's the finals!

Oh No --- Superman Returns

2006-07-09T00:52:00.000+08:00

Well, watched Superman Returns today.
If my brother didn't told me the shows "not bad", I don't think I'll be wasting my S$19 ($9.50 for video tix, the other half for a drink and the popcorn... the latter is not bad)

I can't agree with the "not bad".. it's bad to my own opinion. the plot is dull, the show didn't live up to my own expectation. And maybe I should confess, "I'm never a fan of Superman and neither am I someone who loves those fiction".

But I do appreciate the digital effects, the nice 3d animations. haha. Wonder how many times I yawn during the 3hours show. The only time I sat up was really the half hour or so when the tide was great and Superman was being knocked unconscious.

hmm, I bet I prefer Cars, I prefer the morale behind that show. And the animation is much better than this show. Haha, ok ok, to each of his/her eyes.

Hopefully the next show that I watched, "Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest" will be more exciting. Won't be too dull then.

So, any good movies for recommendations?

Anyway, back to WC, hope the better team will win the 3rd place later.
Will try to stay awake to catch it.

I love weekends,
sh

....

2006-07-02T14:22:00.000+08:00

Well, watched the tv drama on Ch8 last Friday.
There's a quote said which I think it's meaningful.

The fish told the sea, "You can't see my tears as I am swimming in the sea."
The sea in return told the fish,"I can feel you crying as you're in my heart"

Well, it's really meaningful.

Then there's also this point where she said, we only learn to forgive when something's already snap. Learn to forgive and not wait till it's too late.

Have a good Sunday all.

Shocker !!!!

2006-07-02T05:04:00.000+08:00

Wow wow....
There it goes, both my favourite teams (England & Brazil) are out.

France repeats its' 1998 thriump, scoring from a Henry's goal, a ball feed to him by a very good free kick taken by, none other than one of my fave player, Zinedine Zidane. His magic touches with the ball, his ball controlling really awes all. And it'll be his last international cup appearance. So now, I do hope that they'll be able to go further and get into the finals.

And now the semis will be between:
Germany vs Italy
France vs Portugal

So, hopefully the better team during the semis will be in the final.

Personally then, I still hope to see Germany vs France(since Brazil is out, France should take her place)

Hmm, seems like the Pools are getting alot of money as favourite Brazil is out of the cup. They sure earn alot. haha

I manage to add the video clip

2006-07-02T03:56:00.000+08:00

Haha, after much try, finally manage to add video clip to my blog.

A huge thank you to ling for the help. Sorry that I seems idiotic as it's my first try and I did took some time to read the FAQ. Heehee, well bet we're more focused with the England match then how to put the clip up.

Thanks alot for helping.

So from now on, I'll be able to share with you all what I'm listening recently or what I've liked. Make sure you all tune in from time to time.

(Haha, okie, I know I know, I'm not been updating, I'm not been a good gal for sure.)
I make sure I come in as often as possible. haha

The WC Fever

2006-07-02T03:42:00.000+08:00

Well, so are you now watching the 1998 replica? France vs Brazil?

Quite sad as England is out of the cup. But well, Portugal did well, their positive plus their never say die attitude did all the work. The penalty saves by Ricaldo (Portugal's goalkeeper) were really cool!
And England didn't look right even during their warm up matches leading up to Germany. And they've never impressed. Hopefully with a new coach taking over, they'll be better in 2 years time when we see the Euro cup.

Due to this world cup, bet this song that I'm playing now is not sounding alien to all. It's the song being used in Germany for World Cup 2006. Alot of people are wondering why this song is played and I don't know the answer too, West Germany perhaps? haha..

So, who'll I like to see in the finals? I hope it'll be well, Germany vs Brazil. It'll be nice. The host nation vs the reigning champions. Brazil have all the talents, and they have abundance talents left sitting on the bench too. And Germany, they seems to get stronger with each passing game. I'm certainly impressed by their teamwork.

Let's hope to see more exciting football till the finals then.

Well, till now, this world cup have been exciting. At least it gets me following.

Happy Mothers' Day

2006-05-14T17:00:00.000+08:00

On this special day, celebrated by almost everyone in the world, wishing all mums a very speacial day.

i am fine

2006-05-07T14:50:00.000+08:00

Hi All: I know that I've been M.I.A
for quite some time and worse of all, I seldom reply
the smses... the calls.

well, it's been quite hectic with the new job.
meeting targets, meeting datelines, and all

and like what i agree with, lazy is one word too...
you know, when you're already facing the comp at work for almost the entire day, u hardly wants to turn on the comp when you're back at home. For now, i'm taking almost 2 shifts a day, trying to catch up with our target and it's good that we're catching up. once we're more settled, we'll be back into office hours. I am sad to say that I am not able to help some of my old pals into my new company as there are different playing rules in this health care where even i am not aware of.

that's about all i would like to update for now. And i am sorry if i haven't been here on a more regular basis that i'll love to be at. i assure that i'll be back more often. take care all.

大家，好久不见了，想和大家说的是，我很好，谢谢你们的关心。
我很好，工作也很顺利，只是忙了些。
等有工作上轨道，有多一点时间了，我一定上来写多点心得。
就这样了，请大家原谅唷。。。

new lease of life -- stress 新生活--压力大

2006-03-18T22:50:00.000+08:00

3月13号，我正是加入新工作的日子。
我这么久没上来，就因为在忙这我新工作。
因为是新的生产线，所以有很多文件，很多筹备，所以就没时间来啦。
虽然压力很大，工作很忙，我还是觉得好开心。
可能是新环境的关系，不过更大的原因是和同事相处的很好吧。
大家就好像是一家人。 (暂时就只有我们4人，当然不包括我的员工)

生产线星期一就要正式开工了，祝福我一切顺利唷。
今天就写到这里，尽情留意吧。。。。

Hi all.
I''ve just started my new job on the 13th March 2006.
As it's an entirely new line and new production for me, that's why I've been so busy that I have no time to come up to leave message in my blog.

Must thanks all for the concern. I receive alot of sms sending regards and asking me if I'm coping well with the job.
Currently, there's only 4 of us in the team (excluding my operators). It's a small team, my colleagues are nice and it feels great. My manager cum senior is really understanding and caring too. It's really nice to know that I've not made the wrong decision to join this team.

I'll be updating more on my job, stay tune...

cheers,
sh

thanks for the presents

2006-03-11T00:03:00.000+08:00

今天似乎是我的生日一样。
不同的是，在送礼物的时候，我也领了很多礼物。谢谢大家对我的宠爱，拿了好多礼物，你们的心意，我真的感受到了。昂贵的，便宜的，你们的心意都一样的真，谢谢。

Give and take. It's as if I had a birthday party today. While giving out gifts, I also receive alot of gifts from all. Thank you so much. I am surprised, shocked and really happy to know that all of you are being so nice to me. The sincerity of each gift, the comments you all gave, thank you.

谢谢，除了谢谢，谢谢，还是谢谢。

真的很惊讶拿到这么多首饰。。尤其是右边这昂贵的SK首饰。
只能对无名人士说声谢谢谢谢。。。
没想到能拥有这么贵重，又这么美丽的款式。一定是知道我喜欢老大，特地买了我老大所代言的SK款式。谢谢你。

今年应该是拿到首饰最多的一年了。谢谢大家的礼物。

So long, farewell.... 10 March 2006

2006-03-10T23:17:00.000+08:00

亲爱的同事们，真的是谢谢你们带来的欢笑与快乐。
和你们合作，真的很开心，我的苛刻要求，你们都没把它当成我在贬低你们。
很满意的看到大家的进步，很开心我在你们心里是不错的上司。
我会继续努力的，我也会继续加油。
还要衷心的祝福你们大家，也很感谢你们的礼物。
我给大家的，没很多，不过看到你们也喜欢我给的礼物，我就很开心。(我选了很久)
天下没不散的宴席，还有，山水有相逢，希望我们有那么一天。

Dear friends:
I''ve closed another chapter of my work life today.
I''m leaving behind a bunch of workers/friends that I've enjoyed working with for 2 years.
Thank you so much for the experience with all. I can't say how much I've learnt from every individual, be it my lead, my operator, my custormer, my fellow supervisor. Each of you have contributed much to me and I have to say a big "Thank You", for helping me, for understanding me, for listening to me when I have a point to proof, when I need some help, when I get frustrated and like-wise get scolded by me when I see you at fault.

We've learnt from each other and the joy of sharing and giving, I've learnt it all from you.
I am glad that almost everyone was happy with the little gift that I gave, else, do let me know, I shall try to compensate. (Haha, let's keep in touch).

Thank you each for your farewell gift to me. Don't worry, I won't forget each of you. And you know who you are, call me if there's a need, I'll be there, as a friend, the next time you call me.

Thank you once again to all

Shocked....

2006-03-05T00:50:00.000+08:00

On the 24th Feb, I received a call.

I was shocked to learn that my godfather have left us so suddenly. Just feeling breathless in the wee morning, he was rushed to hospital, and he passed away in the afternoon.

Though I've never been really close to my god-parents, I was still obliged to obey the traditional rule of being a member during the wake and to send my godfather off.

Thoughts went through my mind, maybe if I've visited him during the CNY, maybe if I've called more often, maybes... Then the sentence came, we only realise how to cherish when someone's gone. Whatever thoughts that I have, they're of no use. I had to be strong for the family, I've to help take care of the little nieces that were there. I have to ensure that they are taken care of, while their mummy, my godsister might not be able to take her toil during the funeral procession.

It was a real reunion for me, a time where I met up with all the family members. I don't like this kind of gethering. But it's true that only when there's something big happening, then there'll be a big reunion.

I wish the best for my godfather in the other world. I wish that my godfamily can get over the grief quick. And I hope that my godmother can be strong and stay healthy.

Singapore slangs... (Short cuts)

2006-02-24T10:02:00.000+08:00

Well, was writing an email to my aunty in Australia and the feedback was that there some words that she took a while to realize what they were.

Bet it's become too often than not that we're used to the abbreviation that we didn't realize that some Singaporeans are still left in doubt.

Just like to share of what I know.

u = you
me 2 = me too
SG = Singapore
MY = Malaysia
gs = good shot
bs = bad shot
y = why
yah = yes
ur = your
tt = that
coz' = because
k = ok
luffing = laughing
n = and

The list actually goes on and on.
But we must be careful that we'll not commit the mistakes when we're writing a formal letter.
Note that there are SPELLING CHECK to help you with when you have problem converting from our Singapore short cuts to the normal letter. (That's what I do, but think I have little problem with the switch).

Hope you all find it fun.

P/S: Have been playing with GunBound.. It's a nice game especially when you're playing with a group of relatives.
haha, thanks Gi for introducing the game to both of us at home. :>

紅軍萬歲!!!! Hoorays to Liverpool !!!!

2006-02-18T23:55:00.000+08:00

我們終於贏了。雖然只是1-0﹐ 不過贏的真是漂亮。
球賽前還在和弟弟說不滿意Crouch的進展﹐ 想不到﹐ 他就替紅軍立下大工。。。希望他能繼續加油。。。。
我還是期待看老將Fowler為紅軍付出。

Hooray to Liverpool.
We won... 1-0 isn't great, just simply fantastic.... (haha)
Though it's just a goal difference, it's just the case between this 2 rival clubs.
Haven't been impressed by Crouch's performance so far and it's good to see him scoring, hope he'll continue his scoring form from now on.

In fact what pleased me most is seeing the returning of Fowler, a great old army for reds.
Hope to see him at his best soon.

Poor Alan Smith, hope he gets well soon.
Really a freak incident. (He got a broken leg & dislocated ankle)
Was glad to see all help from both bench when he was down, a round of applause for the therapist

Internet

2006-02-18T01:39:00.000+08:00

I wonder how and when internet just suddenly slip into our lives.
Do you remember starting off with MIRC?

Then it was the games we played.
And not soon after, it was ICQ.
Leaving a message for a friend was not difficult after that.
And sending files were made even simpler.

And by the turn of the decade, it was the messenger.
I was able to communicate with friends from any part of the world.
I got to know new friends, I got to keep in touch with my old friends.
I was able to share photos, was able to have a real chat (microphone) with friends, no fuss, really easy.

Then here comes the blog, I can share with all my friends.
I can just write what I want, I can vent my anger, I can type my frustration, I can type anything, but not racist or XxX issues. It makes me happy when I know that friends are appreciating my blog.

I am happy when I know that I've finally found a channel to share my thoughts.
I am confident with my job, I am good in presentation. I am a good spokesman.
But where studies are concern, I will be freak out. And my friends know that it's hard for me to share my problems, I just don't know how to share the inner me.

Today I had a chat with my auntie who's now in Australia. Bet it's the distance where I have no worries of sharing. And it's in messenger where I feel more open to share, and I think there are issues that shocked her. It seems like I prefer sharing my thoughts this way, much better than face to face.
Maybe I dare not face the truth, maybe I'm worried of the consequences, I don't know.

Think, I shall not.
Change, I won't want to, cause I prefer myself this way.
I am a chameleon, ready to adapt for any changes.

I Quit !!!!

2006-02-16T09:38:00.000+08:00

Hi All....
I've tender last Friday, 10 Feb 2006.
Friends are asking me, "You found a job?"
"Is the pay higher?"
"Are the benefits better?"
"You don't like the present job?"
"When is your last day?"

I quit not because of higher pay.
I quit not because of better benefits.
I quit simply because I am not used to being in a CM environment.
I quit as I need some authority.
I quit as I needs more sense of satisfaction when excecuting with my job.
I quit as I need more respect and self dignity when I am at work.
I am not a puppet, I don't wish to be manipulated here and there.
I quit simply for a change of life....

I am glad I'm moving back to the East to work
I'll be in a HDD motor company, a Japanese company
I'll be wearing jump suite (bao ga liao)..... haha

I know I'll miss my "little friends" back in CLS.
I know I'll miss the nice people (you know who you are)
But I do know that it's time to adapt to the new change, and I welcome it.

It's never tough for me to adapt, I'm well prepared.
I hope to be able to achieve what I want in the new company.
I leave CLS knowing that I have gained quite alot.
I leave knowing that I've made the right choice.
I wish myself the best in the new company.
Will update more....

朋友们，我终于辞职了。。。。
为了更大的目标，为了换个环境，为了挽回一口气，
我辞职了。。。
新公司很靠近我的住家，蛮靠近樟宜机场。

离开没带来更高的薪资，
也没带来更多的更多的富利。
离开肯定给我更大的满足感
离开肯定会让我有更大的挑战性

我知道我一定会想念和我一起奋斗的战友
我知道我会不舍对我超好的同事 (不言而喻，你们知道自己是谁)
不过天下没不散之宴席，要离开,
终究还是会走，只是在等待那一刻的到来。

我庆幸自己学了蛮多东西，
我也很感谢大家对我的支持。
我知道我的离开决定是正确的正确的。

祝福我吧。。。。。。。。

Contract Manufacturer

2006-02-15T22:17:00.000+08:00

(Click on picture to see enlarge version)

Well, that's life as a CM
1. Customer is always right
2. Say "YES" to all customers' requests.
3. Say "Sorry, we'll investigate" when something happens.
4. Never try to act smart, as the saying goes, "Kiang jiu hou, mai ge kiang"
(Translation: Be smart, don't act smart!")

I want to say, can we discuss.
I want to say, can someone listen to my thoughts?
I want to say, customer do listen to us, but are our boss listening?
I need some authority to saÿ "No"
I need some breathing space.
I need some help.
I have enough, I surrender....

Share a song -- 同类

2006-02-14T14:08:00.000+08:00

孙燕姿--同类
词：易家扬
曲：李思菘

雨后的城市寂寞又狼狈
路边的座位它空着在等谁
我拉住时间它却不理会
有没有别人跟我一样很想被安慰

风停了又吹我忽然想起谁
天亮了又黑我过了好几岁
心暖了又灰世界有时候孤单的
很需要另一个同类

爱收了又给我们都不太完美
梦作了又碎我们有几次机会去追
不晓得为什么爱又稀少又昂贵

云在半空中被微风剪碎
回忆也许美可是正在飞走对不对
------------------\\-----------------------------

希望大家会喜欢。
突然很想和大家分享，就把歌词给copy上来了。

shhh, 今天不舒服，拿了病假。。
不过又不想继续睡，就跑来这里了。
很多朋友都说我"消失"了，其实，我只是在做我喜欢的事情。

我承认我是消失了，我在寻找我自己的方向。
我想，我家人是最开心的吧。
因为我都比较长时间在家了。
这个就是我的新地方，让大家更了解我的地方啦。

我希望我能有东西和你们分享，希望你们会喜欢。

luv, sh

One Art -- Elizabeth Bishop

2006-02-14T12:13:00.000+08:00

My 1st blog, 1st article.

Sharing with all this little poem, posted by Stef in her website.
Find it quite nice and though a bit down after reading, it does
reminds me to treasure what we've got and don't lose them at
a turn of our hands.

Welcome to my little world. Hope here's somewhere you all can know sh.

Happy Valentine's Day

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;

so many things seem filled with the intent

to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day.

Accept the fluster of lost door keys,

the hour badly spent.

The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster: places, and names,

and where it was you meant to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look!

my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went.

The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,

some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.

I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love)

I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master

though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-- Elizabeth Bishop
