Merry ?

there's a random stray dog or puppy, i shall call it, kept wandering and coming into my house once the front gate's opened.

 that's ze' random fella

 i have no idea why it just kept wanting to enter the house.

odd thing was, it actually barked at me as though i was the one who's intruding it's crib -.- it might be small in size but fierce. i saw ticksssssss all over its body, gowshh :S pity.

anyway, merry christmas! enjoy the festive season and the final week of 2011. time just flies, don't you agree?

当你已不需要或已下定决心时，

它就会蹦出来

影响你所有的一切。

可恶！

everyone has his/ her moment.

only awaiting the others to light them up.

sacrifice as one's lightened up 

and as life burns itself up.

life's a brief candle,
burn out or blown out.
hence, appreciate and enjoy, regret not.


length is never the problem,
it's the content that matters.

fret not, shine yourself to the best!
or be selfless, shine others to the top!
;)

soon my face will be transforming into ze' shape of the tv in my house.

effect of facing it 2/3 of a day.

i feel like leaving home


with a huge backpack and a camera, nothing else


to Tibet.


to see the other side of the world.


to feel the other part of humanity.


to experience the other wonder of life.

wanna come along? ;)

i don't know


but i just feel like typing 2 sentences here.


that's it.

Time ?

came across an article in the newspaper today on A Journey Through Time V (with the theme, Time to Celebrate), hosted by Starhill Gallery, showcases a wide range of luxurious timepieces and jewellery. the photos of the timepieces which are going to be in the exhibition shown on the paper interested me, and there you go, a visit to their websites. 


once my eyes laid upon the collections of the brand Hautlence, they went from -.- to O.O! 
just B-R-E-A-T-H-T-A-K-I-N-G!  


Check out the beauties here! all of them are so pretty that i can't just choose 1 to show you guys    

Franck Muller Giga Tourbillon is another hot babe! 

timeless ♥

Ship ?

friend


what does that word above stand to you?


a person whom you can trust and rely on?


a person whom you can share and talk to?


or just another person who you both walked into each other's life?


doesn't matter what the word stands to you


there is always a one common thing which has brought you two together.


some thing you both have in common


a simple, tiny little topic 


that has opened you two up, to each other.


it all started out like a sheet of paper, being placed in a typewriter


clean and blank; simple and pure; just some plain and surface chats.


"hey! how are you? oh, glad to hear that! me too!"


then, you both type through the paper, even adding in pages


adding in drawings, pictures, colours, emoticons;


making these used to be plain wordy pages as interesting and creative as possible.


stacks and stacks of papers accumulated, as time passes by.


they are all compiled nicely into a pretty scrapbook,


as pretty as the memories, when the pages are flipped through.


those faces, those chats, those smiles, those tears


oh, those little things that build up these stories


just beautiful.


without you two realizing, you both are building and sculpting a ship 


a ship that sails both of you through time


though there have been :( or even >:( ; 


sometimes even "hate you!", "disappointed!", "how could he/ she?!"


they are just tiny scratches on the body of the ship.


terrible weathers, storms, even hurricanes


oh yea, hard times.


but this ship sailed through with ease,


ze' both of you did a great job!


physical and mental support, acceptance, understanding- unconditionally


factors that hold the ship and you two tightly together.


it was hard, yes


as long as you still have each other, impossible is possible.


there might be holes to be mended, cracks to be repaired


none of these are able to bring this ship down.

Friendship

Night ?

sleepless night

so much is going through the mind.

maybe a cup or glass of something 

can help to cool the running machine down.

unnecessary things are processing in this running machine,

disturbing.

dark room, dimly lit by the light source outside

the red curtain by the window looks lovely at this moment, 

like a romantic bedside lamp.

oh, breathtakingly calming.

the plan view of the highway has never been this beautiful.

street lamps lining at the both sides of the lengthy highway

form two strings of tiny yellow dots

taking the shape of highway.

a once conventional and usually vehicles overflowing highway

has its inner beauty, a total different face

only shown when we, busy humans, are congesting the dreamland.

the imperfect eyesight is a plus at this point

those dots are so dream- liked. 

so blur yet so clear; so dreamy yet so real;

words are just too shallow to describe.

guess it's time bring this heavenly scene to ze' dreamland  (:

Xiao ?

人们啊，

你们的笑容真美。

就像那雨后的彩虹 -

灿烂、纯真。

就像那池里的莲花 -

不染、动人。

可为何这打从心底的笑脸

渐渐消失了。

省下的只有那冰冷，虚假

带着笑的面具。

是为了配合虚伪的城市，忘了简单的微笑

或已变得何等自私，连笑也不能被分享了？

其实笑，

是不须要理由的。

Stare ?

such a comfortable chair in this soothing ambiance.


perfect cup of drink, warming.


great evening.


there, a lady in white, holding onto her cup of cappuccino.


her face carries a tinge of weariness, though she smiles widely to thank the waiter.


her beautifully lit hazel brown eyes are sending a message,


a message of being uneasy.


guess there's something bothering her.


here, a man in suit, sipping his strong expresso


while taking his stroll online using his tablet PC.


movements of his fingers shows he is definitely a pro


but there's been unusual pauses of these fingers,


those thick eyebrows of his come to a join and form a straight line.


left hand shields his mouth then supports his lower jaw.


something he sees is tickling his mind.


oh, interesting people all around.


sit back, relax, and


stare or more appropriate- observe.


you'ld see how interesting a person can be.

even the most uninteresting person,

even the one you see everyday.

White ?

on the palette

an artiste does his magic

with his brush, like a wand

with the oil paints, like the potions.

white

is the most essential colour on his palette

for it has the power to brighten up,

each and any colour on his palette.

red shows its power of being warm.

but when white is matched

pink shows its power of being passionate.

no matter what it is matched to

it has the power of blending in,

well enough that even the colour itself changes

according to its amount.

though it is easily stained,

it has the equal power of staining others too. 

that is why i ♥ white.

Silence ?

silence is gold

shining in the corner.

but what is not known

the price to pay for it.

silence is the best solution

perfect solution to every problem.

but what is not known

the needed truth hidden behind it.

no doubt silence  can be the most appropriate answer

to most questions 

but not all.

sometimes it just needs a small break through.

well, one have the right

the right to remain silent

give it a second thought before you shut yourself

in the room of silence.

coz there is always someone who is willing to listen.

Peaceful ?

-Jackie Evancho-

her beautiful voice makes me feel peaceful.

Aunties ?

aunties' talk.
(you know who you are, dear aunties. :P)

enjoyable though :D

Dreamed ?

 

yea, tats what appeared in my dream yesterday night.

HUGH eye bags! 

 

 

funny thing was, i was trying to flatten them with my fingers.

LOL?

Loyal ?

i tend to be loyal to anything that i like or used to. a brand, a highlighter, a pair of slippers, a hairstyle, a person, an animal, just anything. till an extent, i'ld only get myself tees of different colours and designs but of the same brand, no other brands allowed. just because i'm so used to wearing ze' brand. i feel totally devastated just if i couldn't find the highlighter of my favourite colour  of the brand i'm so used and loyal to. very loyal, indeed. HAHA!  

my highlighter has run out of ink :|

 they've changed the packaging of it, not nice anymore D:

 

Intersting2 ?

Lift- riding rules:

• no talking to anyone, including those you know.
• no eye contact at all times.
• maintain a "poker face".
• pretend to be deeply into any book or paper in hand.
• in bigger crowd, you are to be stagnant or freeze at your current position.
• pay extra (and i mean EXTRA) attention to the floor number change at all times.

do you see yourself in any of them? xD

 

?

body symmetry = attractiveness ?

something i could hardly get why.

 

Bow ?

sometimes i wonder why.

sometimes i wonder what the reason is.

sometimes i wonder where.

sometimes i wonder what the problem is.

sometimes i wonder how.

sometimes i wonder what else is there to be done.

guess i know your questions.

guess i understand your feelings.

guess i know your worries.

guess i understand your helplessness. 

guess i know your difficulties.

guess i understand your disappointment.

maybe it is time to let go and set free.

stand up and take a bow.

this is not something you can control.

you've tried hard enough, really.

(= 

应该是时候累了。


应该是时候停下。


乐观： 不， 再往前几步就是了！走，走，走！:D


悲观： 天啊！还有十万八千里，怎么到得了!?


现实： 不如叫部车吧？

只在于你如何选择。

Achievement ?

take the test below and see what you score, just answer yes or no to each question.

1. if offered a choice of tasks, would you pick one that is moderately difficult rather than one that is very difficult or easy?
2. do you enjoy tasks more if you compete against others?
3. do you prefer tasks that have clear, definable goals and measurable outcomes?
4. while working on projects, do you like feedback about how well you are performing?
5. would you prefer criticism from a harsh (but competent) evaluator or from one who is friendlier, but less competent?
6. do you prefer tasks where you are personally responsible for the outcome?
7. when working on a difficult task, do you persist when you encounter roadblocks?
8. do you typically receive high performance evaluations (e.g., receiving top honors or special recognition in sports, clubs, and other activities)?

scoring:
give yourself 1 point for each yes you answered to the eight questions. people with higher number of yes answers tend to be high in achievement motivation, in another words, KIASU. (especially for those scoring 7 and 8)




so what's your score? :)

Interesting ?

some facts shared by my psychology lecturer during these few lecture classes, not very sure if they ARE facts, but pretty interesting that i can't resist from sharing with you guys :D

1. babies will die because of not being touched constantly. totally amazed when i heard this :O
2. you are still considered in your YOUNG adulthood even if you're at the age of 45. err, maybe i'm just so lack of general knowledge :P
3. children, from birth to the age 2, believe that anything out of sight does not exist, even their mom who leaves for the toilet, to them, does not exist anymore. 
4. people who nod frequently are more intelligent, said to be stimulating some parts of the brain more. i'm not so convinced with this one though.
5. there's a relationship between your attachment to a parent figure when you're an infant and your love for a romantic partner in your adulthood. not only that, this attachment does describe how you interact with your friends/ children/ family members.
6. our trust level towards the others is determined as early as from birth to approximately 12 months old. (ex: your mom failed to feed you when you're hungry in your infant year causes you to develop mistrust) this actually stays till the day you die. wow! just because your needs are not fulfilled at that age, you'll have difficulty in trusting others for your entire life! 
7. at the age of 18- 35, our main focus in life is intimacy. loneliness will attack if failed in finding an intimate partner. err, swt? seriously? o.O

aren't they interestingly funny? 


 

Regrets ?

the path

has been chosen.

the road

has been taken.

what has been and will be sacrificed along the way, 

countless.

time? effort? relationships? what else?

worthwhile?

only future has the answer.

once asked: "ever gonna be afraid of facing it alone?"

HA HA! no point being afraid after you've made the choice.

in the end, independence 

is the only thing you can rely on,

not anyone else.

well, the scenery along this rough route,

reminisced, 

picturesque, breathtaking, mind raping, disturbing, hideous, unforgettable

appreciate every bits and pieces, like a priceless piece of art.

bitter, unpleasant, sweet, memorable, sour, undeniable

taste every flavor, like sipping from a cup of finely grounded coffee.

not that bad after all.

for being given a chance to be different

and have a diverse perspective.

"every cloud has a silver lining" does stand, no?

or just being overly optimistic?

 

End ?

came to an end, finally.


what do i feel?


nothing.


yes, u heard me right, NOTHING.


why would i feel anything anyway?

who cares!? 

Final

The effect of final exam - even the shape of the face changes.

Filled ?

it's occupying up all the space of the computer!

not this time please!

those capacities are for 

the hundreds of pages of lecture notes and textbooks!

shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

stop loading, will' ya?

THINK ?

think deep, 

before action.

think deeper,

before saying.

think wise,

before deciding.

think wiser,

before speaking.

think indefinitely,

before leaving.

think more indefinitely,

before staying.

think shallowly,

before falling asleep.

think shallower, 

before waking up.

think a thousand times,

before rejecting.

think another thousand times,

before accepting.

think, thinking, thought

think THINK think THINK think THINK think THINK think THINK think THINK think THINK think THINK



GOODNESS! where does the heart stand?

at the corner, i supposed.

or has it even been taken into account?

:O ?

saw these in a watch magazine, got me :O

Direction ?

an end 

which direction of it is not given.

none knows where it is

none knows how it looks like

none has the guide to it.

imagination and determination- the only elements 

which build the ladder to the entrance of this exit.

but human, is vulnerable.

too vulnerable and careless.

on the way to this ladder,

don't make your way into the Hotel California

for if you're exhausted.

feel the route

it might the correct one.

take it

and don't ever turn back.

you are lucky enough if you've found yourself a tour guide.

 

Change ?

i want, i wish, i hope

for a change.

change in?

i don't know.

attitude? thinking? believe? 

rational? emotional? numb?

physically? mentally?

charisma? listening? action?

positive? negative? neutral?

all of the above or maybe not?

suggestion, anyone? :)

 

No ?

Q: will you ...?
A: No.

Q: can you please ...?
A No.

Q: is it possible if you ...?
A: No.

Q: please ...
A: No.

Q: hey! are you ...?
A: No.

Q: do you know ...?
A: No.

Q: lend me a ...?
A: No.

Q: i think it's better if ...
A: No.

Q: can we ...?
A: No.

Q: please try ...
A: No.

Q: just try, never try never know ...
A: No.

well, there is always a better answer than "No"

light up a candle

take a deep breath

and walk yourself towards "Yes"
