to Poo or not to Poo

I am not going to talk about something dirty. It's about this cute little creature called 'Poodle'.

R and I are planning to get a poodle. I know that to be a responsible dog owner, I have to understand the breed and be prepared before getting a puppy. So I bought quite a number of books about the breed. However, the more I read, the more I worry that I cannot be a good owner. I feel that may be I don't deserve such good dog. Though I have had a dog before, it was when I was still a student and had a lot of time taking care of the dog.

'A smart dog needs a smart owner'. That's what I read from one of the books.Poodle is a very smart dog. It is ranked 2nd most intelligent dog after border collie. Er...so now the question is, can I be a smart owner?

Sigh, I am in dilemma now.

Anyway, this doesn't stop me from going to dog shows and visiting petshops. Maybe I can just be a dog lover without a dog.

早上看到娃娃脸杀手挂靴的消息,鼻子酸酸的。他并不是我最喜欢的曼联球员,但是毕竟也是我'足球生涯'(其实只是足球观众)中重要的一员。我想很多曼联的球迷也跟我一样吧,认为只要有他,就可以看到奇迹。永远也不会忘记他在1999年对拜仁的比赛中攻入的那粒球(还记得那天晚上我是独自一个人看球赛的),当然还有很多很多他创造的'不可能'。娃娃脸也不得不向岁月和伤患低头吧?感谢他为我的足球世界带来这么多精彩和激情...

幸福 插曲

手放开

作曲:方文良 歌手:李圣杰

我把自己关起来只留下一个阳台
每当天黑推开窗我对着夜幕发呆
看着往事一幕一幕
再次演出你我的爱
我把电视机打开听着别人的对白
也许那些故事可以给我一个交代
你要的爱我学不来
眼睁睁看情变坏人怔怔看情感概
不能给你未来我还你现在
安静结束也是另一种对待
当眼泪流下来伤已超载
分开也是另一种明白
我给你最后的疼爱是 手放开
不要一张双人床中间隔着一片海
感情的污点就留给时间慢慢漂白
把爱收进胸前左边口袋
最后的疼爱是 手放开
不想用言语拉扯所以选择不责怪
感情就像候车月台有人走有人来
我的心是一个站牌写着等待
最后的疼爱是 手放开
我把收音机打开听着别人的失败
啃咽的声音仿佛诉说着相同悲哀
你的依赖还在胸怀
我无法轻易推开我无法随便走开
感情中专心的人容易被伤害


给P.S.
读了你的网志才发现一向给人印象精明能干的你也有脆弱的时候。
没良心的我竟然到你有了新男朋友之后才知道R.M.已经根你分手了。有一点不好意思,没有在你伤心的时候给你安慰的话。
还好从你的网志中知道你很快就振作起来,并没有让自己活在痛苦之中。哈哈...你果然是一个又聪明又坚强的女孩,不会因失恋而倒下。
希望你和现在的男朋友可以开花结果,顺便希望你早日读完你的硕士班!

给P.L.
现在的你一定觉得痛苦万分。我知道无论朋友们对你说多少安慰的话,也无法抚平你心中的伤。但是我还是要说失去了他,并不代表失去全世界。眼泪是珍贵的,不应该为他一直流,因为在未来的日子里还有很多更值得感动和感伤的时刻要你用眼泪表达。
竟然他已选择了放弃,你何不也让自己自由?
不要说我不了解,我也有过这样的经验。结束一段感情,伤心是难免的。要从悲伤中走出来总是需要时间。 这过程也许折腾,也许漫长,但是它终究会过去。
朋友,请相信我,时间是最好的疗药...


幸福来了,要好好把握
幸福走了,放手也是一种祝福

Finally, Man Utd got its first win of the season, thanks to humble Tottenham.

Ah Soh, hope the result will give you some comfort after a whole week of agony due to lost of your Gabriel Hunky to Real.

Lotus Flower Garden Trail

When R told me there is wild lotus in Singapore. I didn't believe him (Er... just like I didn't believe him when he told me there are monkeys and durian trees in Singapore. Hahaha). Not until R drove me to the place and I saw hundreds of lotus flower plants in front of me.
We have been returning to the place since. I just like to spend a few minutes there, watching the lotus plants swaying with the winds. I enjoy doing it but I am not sure whether R enjoy it as much. Hehehe...
I got to know that the place is called 'Lotus Flower Garden Trail'. It's located near Turut Track, where BBC Far Eastern Relay Station is.

*There was once when we went, the plants were infested with some pink color parasites and it was really a sad sight. The parasites almost 'ate out' all the plants. I was worried that lotus plants will be forever gone I told R I am going to take some pictures of the horrible scene, send them to my friend who's working for the paper and hopefully alert the NPark or some conservative organisations about the problem. R said it's a stupid idea and told me that the plants will survive.

Well, as you can see, they survived!

这社会在进步, 但是有些好像还在原地踏步东西...

没想到许冠杰在1976年所创作的歌曲《半斤八两》到了30年以后的今天还可以这么真实、深刻的唱出打工仔的心声。

半斤八两

作曲:许冠杰 作词:许冠杰
歌手:许冠杰

我地呢班打工仔
通街走直头系坏肠胃
温个些少到月底点够驶(吃个鬼)
咪话无乜所谓

最弊波士郁的发威(癫过鸡)
一咪系处系唔系就乱黎吠
哎亲加薪块面拿起恶睇(扭下计)
你就认真开胃

半斤八两做到只积甘既样
半斤八两湿水炮仗点会响
半斤八两够姜就揸枪走去抢
出左半斤力想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食边有半斤八两甘理想(吹涨)

我地呢班打工仔一生一世为钱币做奴隶
个种辛苦折堕讲出吓鬼(死比你睇)
咪话无乜所谓

半斤八两就算有福都无你享
半斤八两仲惨过滚水渌猪掌
半斤八两鸡碎甘多都要啄
出左半斤力想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食边有半斤八两甘理想


*不好意思, 我知道一定有些人看不懂用广东话写的歌词。 谢谢包涵。

Animal Farm@NPO.com

动物庄园里的一个员工又病倒了。 河马本来就不是很满意这个员工,毒蛇还乘机带着煽动的口气说 “我们这里不是慈善团体”。
如果动物庄园不是慈善团体,为什么有这么多的义工领少少的钱,做很多很多的工作?
对于河马的无情员工们每天忍气吞声,默默的奉献,也算是为它积一点公德吧!
这不是慈善团体是什么?

P/S
可怜的羊(庄园里当然有羊)因为河马糟糕的人际关系而必须身兼二职,领一分薪水做两份工。
河马给羊的回报是一句赠言--资格不足--作为羊打工生涯的珍贵座右铭、重大旅程碑!


Why is it so difficult to book a cab early in the morning, like around 6:20am? It has been 3 days... no driver has responded to my calls...
Is it because of the Seventh Month Hungry Ghost festival??!!

NDP 2007

It's the second NDP that I've gone to. I didn't have a ticket that allows me to sit comfortably and watch the whole parade. I joined the crowd at the other side of the river. We could neither hear the songs nor see the performances on the floating platform. However, I don't think it really bothered anyone there. People came for the fireworks.
The crowd dismiseed almost immediately after the fireworks. And of course, I dismissed myself as well...

The crowd













Dinner, sushi from Mediya










The jelly fish before they set off










I was too busy taking photo I forgot all about this couple standing in front of me. When I review what I have taken, I felt like I was taking some romantic, artistic pictures for them.... ai...

The Manchester Derby

Can somebody out there just tell me what's wrong? Three games without a win and standing
fifth at the wrong end of the table??? When is the first win going to come?



Maybe li'l ol Hunchback of the Boleyn Ground just shouldn't have joined the team? His charm just won't work in the team.

Maybe the litte Schme*chel was defending the wrong side of the goal? Like father like son, he can be great.




Maybe the Bugs Bunny's failure in England International team was just a conspiracy? He is here to defeat and destroy all English clubs.

Maybe anyone of you reading this can bet on Man U being relegated this season...


*GRUNT* Monday blues... (blues=Man City & Chelsea)

动物庄园



这是一个发生在动物庄园里的故事。
庄园的主人是人,为庄园工作的也是人。 但是由于庄园的主人拥有庞大的事业,无暇管理这个小庄园,所以有一只河马便乘机控制了这个庄园。
这是一只在烂泥堆中打滚了十几年,百毒不侵的河马。 它让每一个庄园的员工为它卖命,却给他们很少很少的酬劳。
毒蛇是它的宠物,所以没有人敢反抗它。因为它可以随时放蛇咬人。
它制定了IN FARM RULES,控制每个人的举动,就连香水也是违禁品。它常叫香水作臭水,但是它却能忍受自己的口臭。难道这就是传说中"香即是臭,臭即是香"的最高境界?
它不希望庄园里的人有太好的表现,又诅咒离开庄园的人。
庄园里的每一个人,天天都盼望可以离开这个动物庄园 (当然它的宠物蛇例外)。等到大家都离开它,它会不会有所领悟?哎,它应该还是会执迷不悟吧...

给在动物庄园里挣扎的大家...革命尚未成功,同志仍需努力...

起点...梦 纽西兰

我没有梦见纽西兰 只是梦见了一个在纽西兰的朋友
他是一个小学同校、中学六年都同班、彼此的家走几步就到的朋友。
那是一个很轻松、很平淡的梦。就像从前发生过无数次一样。他到我家串门子,我们打打闹脑,有说有笑...
我不知道为什么会梦见他。
自从他到纽西兰求学、就业之后我们似乎就没有再见面,而我在这个繁荣的岛国浑浑噩噩的过日子,几乎也忘了他。
是我想念从前那段无忧无虑的日子 还是我太向往在纽西兰过生活?
我不会解梦,这个梦的意义就算了吧。
但是这个梦让我想起了这位老朋友。 这个在我生命中不是很重要, 却在我小学、中学最快乐的十二年里一直都在的朋友。
希望在南半球的他一切都好。


仅以此作为起点献给我所认识的每一个 为了梦想默默耕耘、忍辱负重的朋友们。 希望大家(包括我在内)不要忘了追逐梦想,祝大家美梦成真!
