爱情这玩意儿

礼拜天参加了YP的婚礼。很高兴ROM这么多年了,她终于可以披上婚纱,漂漂亮亮的接受亲友的祝福。
当她在大胆的在台上大声说出她的爱的宣言时,我有一种快哭出来的感动。
好一个美丽的结合。

今天有一个朋友跟另一个朋友分手。我不知道他们是不是真的下定了最后决心,但是几年的感情,几天内说断就断, 让我有点不敢相信。是不是我老了,跟不上年轻人的作风?
好一个让我措手不及的结果。

新闻说新加坡每年有超过20000人结婚,每天也有20对夫妇闹离婚。
在这个我一双关节炎萝卜腿赶不上的时代,男女间的感情是不是只是呼之则来,挥之则去的关系?

Welcome on Board~!

Moon is coming over to join us at the 'so far so good' United Nations pirate ship (gosh... the name is so long).
I cannot roll red carpet to welcome her so this entry is for her.
So to Moon, I am so happy that you are finally going to take over China. China is so important so great you must treat it like it's the most precious thing on earth.
I hope you enjoy your new role and your new VIP window seat.
As for me, I think I can finally plan for a short break.
Thank you very much!
After me, Moon is yet another conrad from Animal Farm hopping over.
However, this is not the exciting part. What excited me is the turnover rates of Animal Farm. I suspect it hasn't reached its peak yet...

Whatever will be, will be...

Captain C has left United Nations Pirate Ship to be with his Kawaii girl friend.
Captain C has always been a good leader and friend. He is dependable as a leader and fun to hang around with as friend. For 3 1/2 years, I don't remember seeing him throw his temper to anyone.
As a leader, he almost scored perfect.
Now that he's gone, everybody is feeling lost. The first day without him, I've already received messages from other crews telling me they miss him.

The ship is going to be headed by 大长今. So far she has been quite a nice and gentle person.
What worries us is the influence Obasan 长今 has on 大长今.

Are we going to be a 长今 colony, or we will continue to lead a happy life on board?
Let's wait and see..

天涯海角

好几年前看过一部香港电影叫“天涯海角”。患有血癌的女主角在人生的最后来到了“天涯海角”。 看过这部电影的人或许跟当时的我一样很想去一趟“天涯海角”。幻想那是一件多么浪漫的事。
有多少人会记得年少时许下的无数痴狂的梦?
前几天读了杂志-姐妹才知道原来剧中的“天涯海角”就是苏格兰的Isle of Skye。
我到了Skye却不知道自己就在“天涯海角”…

P/S 即使没有电影,Skye也绝对是一个令人陶醉的小岛…

My Long Vacation - Part II

Ok, after almost 1/2 month, here I am again to share something to you about my journey to Europe.

The weather wasn't very good when we were in Scotland. It was all rain for the first two days. On the third day morning, my mood was as gloomy as the weather when our B&B host told us that according to weather forecast, the weather wouldn't get any better. However, I guess lady luck just wouldn't want us to miss the beauty of Skye. When we came out from Dunvegan Castle, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.


This is one of my favourite views throughout the journey. Loch Dunvegan, where Dunvegan Castle stands.

The weather forecast was wrong for the day we were in Skye but was quite right for the rest of our journey in Scotland.

This is the view of Royal Mile, Edinburgh from the window of Starbucks cafe. We were all wet on our way up to Edinburgh Castle dued to heavy rain we decided to get a cup of hot coffee/tea at Starbuck after the visit to the castle, and at the meantime tried to get our clothes and shoes dried.

Good Luck!

It seems like some changes are going to take place in the Animal Farm. For better or worse, I just hope that my conrads working in the farm will be able to think smart and make good decisions.
Good Luck!

Bad Day

Miss Bong, Koon and I travelled to KL for PS's wedding. It started with big bus and lorry jam at Tuas and ended with long wait at Puduraya.
The return journey was especially horrible. Puduraya doesn't seem to change a bit ever since don't know how many decades ago. It's still hot, crowded and smoker friendly.
We bought the 2:30 pm tickets but waited for 1.5 hours before the bus finally showed up.
Just look at Miss Bong's face (if you can find her) and you will know how we felt...

The worst's yet to come. When we boarded the bus, someone else had taken our seats. Apparently the bus company oversold the tickets. It again took us some time to bring the lady who sold us the tickets to the bus and negotiate with the bus driver to let us have our seats we so well deserved after the long wait. Finally, we got our seats. But the oil leaking from the top of the bus worried us. The driver couldn't explain the oil, nor could he get rid of the oil. It just kept leaking and we just kept sucking in smelly air and thinking what might happen to the bus, and us. (I know it's silly)
Of course we reached Singapore safely but I don't think I will wanna travel to by bus anymore.

There's good thing though. I bought this cute pants from a very helpful Thai, and I am so glad that R san likes it. Hehe...
