月圆没有人团圆

人说中秋是人月两团圆的日子，但是中秋夜，我在R的家吃饭，圆桌上只有我们两个人，屋子里静悄悄的。

R为了满足我的欲望，为我点了好几个灯笼，但是几盏小小的蜡烛温暖不了冷冷的气氛。

原来新加坡人爱买月饼，却不庆祝中秋节...

One more TRY... or One LAST ATTEMPT?

I am going for Level 1 AGAIN this year.

I have less confident this year. I had more time to study last year but not this year. Work has been more stressful. I guess I won't have extra time to do revision in the office like before.

If I fail again this year, I really don't know whether I still have the passion or desire or motivation or intention or time or whatsoever to do it again.

It seems like there are so many things waiting for me to do. I want to get a driver's license, I want to learn some other things I really like (like painting, gardening), I want to save some money and go travel, travel and travel...

Last time, I nearly did it but a fail is a fail. I am not sure whether I will come that close this time.

Ah, anyway, I will just try my best...As for the rest... time will tell...

Oshiyawase ni~

For the whole week after the Melaka trip, I was looking forward to Big Bro's ROM on 20/08/2008 (Wednesday).

Monday, I was down with high fever. When Big Bro sent me a reminder sms about his big day, I informed him that I was sick. He asked me to rest well cos he couldn't wed without me.

I knew he was just kidding when he said he couldn't wed without me, but it made me feel important.

When he decided to tie the knot with his girl friend, I was one of the first to know that. He invited me to be his witness. My signature would be on his marriage certificate!!!! I was so excited about this and I didn't want to miss the day myself!!!!

Thank god on Tuesday, the fever went down and on Wednesday, I was fit and conscious enough to witness him.

With my signature on the cert, I surely hope Big Bro and his WIFE will Live Happily Ever After. (and I know they will)

PS. Thursday, I returned to work, Friday, the fever came again...

My Motivation~

这个八月很热闹。英超开始了，北京奥运也在如火如荼的进行。

这几天晚上我都在看游泳项目的重播， 特别一定要看蛙泳项目，一定要看北岛康介。

我不是十几二十岁的少女，对于这个二十七的日本泳将， 我并不迷恋， 但是我却不想错过任何他的比赛。

在这个被西方人， 尤其美国和费尔普斯称霸的‘水立方’，北岛康介这张东方脸让我不至于对游泳这个我最爱看的运动项目产生冷感。

刚刚看完了两次200米蛙泳的重播，北岛康介在这次京奥的比赛划上了完美的句点。

今晚之后我不知道还会不会盯着电视看其他比赛的重播。这样也好，我可以多睡一点了...

So Ti~~red~~

I'm going to Melaka for the weekend. Though it's only a two day trip and Melaka is just 2 or 3 hours away from Singapore, I am really looking forward to it. Actually I can't wait for it to come.

Though I have been working at least 9 hours per day for the last few weeks, work still keep piling up. I have given up playing catch up with the news.

I really need a break! I really need to get out of here!

Melaka, here i come~

巴黎印象

Ah B搬到伦敦去工作。

我去伦敦找他时，他还没到过巴黎。

我离开伦敦，离开巴黎之后，他去了一趟巴黎。

后来‘大哥’去伦敦找Ah B， 回来后问我对巴黎的印象。

‘大哥’告诉我Ah B说去了巴黎就会知道我们的国家有多可爱。巴黎脏，乱， 没有人情味。浪漫之都是骗人的。

我只在巴黎待了24小时，脑海中的巴黎只有凯旋门， 罗浮宫和巴黎铁塔。

还有这个。。。

巴黎市民是这样停车的。
在这里如果这样停车，我不知道后果会是怎样。。。

我没办法评论巴黎的好坏，因为24小时真的太短。我只能客观的说巴黎是一个历史丰富的城市。

或许我应该高兴我没有足够的时间看见巴黎的丑陋。我会记得看见巴黎铁塔的感动。。。

Aaarrrggghhhh~!!!

I don't really have time to update my blog recently.
Have been working very hard. I wonder whether all the hard work will pay off at the end?

I have been asking this question again and again, but I still think it's worthy to write it down again. (To show my anger)
Why is that bilingual in Chinese and English so much inferior compared to bilingual in other languages like Korean and Chinese or Japanese and English?
We are all doing the same things (or maybe more than they are doing), but why are we being treated so differently?
Why is that people will just see a Chinese speaker, who can also speak Japanese, English, Malay, Cantonese, not as good as a native Japanese, Korean or English speaker?

Can somebody give me a good answer?

P/S I wanna write this in Chinese but this is R's PC and it doesn't have Chinese input set up.
