The Climb - Miley Cyrus



I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

What water body am I?




You Are an Ocean



You are impressive and fascinating. People are drawn to your glory.

You are a profound and passionate person. You are boundless in your power.



You have a philosophical and poetic soul. You take a lot of time to reflect.

You are mysterious and captivating. You are too deep for anyone to figure out.



Hmm... true.... sometimes it is hard for me to know myself. What makes it easy for anyone to figure me out?

Welcome back... ...


... ... to Singapore!

Compliments

Sometimes some compliments just make me smile after long tiring and busy day at work... ...

Some parents has commented that I have slimmed down... ... lolx....

Some commented I have nicer hair... ...

Colleagues said I looked rounder when I was seeing adult for therapy compared to seeing children now... ...

Even Nozomu who had not seen me for 2 years said so. lolx....

Anyway Nozomu was in Singapore for the last few days. Will update some photos and blog about it soon.

Tired.

Bitterness and Happiness

I was in bus 22, on the way to meet H2O and Nozomu at AMK for dinner when I saw the following quote on TV mobile:

"I learnt that when I habour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere."



I always like such inspiring quote, whether it is related to my life or not.

刺猬

我曾经在电视上听说过类似的话。 我觉得挺有意义的。


“有时人也像是个刺猬。当我们想靠近去关心身边重要的人的时候,往往的,他们却被我们身上的刺所刺到。

所以有时在一段距离去关心他人,也不见是个坏事。
少了伤害别人, 也少了伤害自己。”

一切完美2主题曲 Perfect Cut 2 Theme Song



你指向远方 爱情很晴朗
笑问不如今后就我们俩
怕泪会反光 钻进你的胸膛
但那不是感动 是 泪无法储藏

把美梦锁上 以为是天堂
羽翼折起在你身边静静躺
却只能用目光在空中翱翔
还得乔装安份 靠在你肩膀

放了爱 为了爱
这不是我 该怎么生活
放了爱

你说你喜欢 我笑得开朗
你越温柔 我越不想撒谎
我已办不到你想要的那样
客气地配合你 我感觉更勉强

别人的幸福 何必要模仿
心不在何苦 留躯壳在身旁
加满自由 我要无重量飞翔
就算以分离收场

放了爱 为了爱
这不是我 该怎么生活
放了爱 会明白
有种拥有 叫做放手

我的心 为爱流离失所
紧握最后回家的线索
等到寻获真正的我
证明我决定没有错

放了爱 为了爱
这不是我 想要的生活
放了爱 你会明白
有种拥有 叫做放手
放了爱

Death

Today, over lunch with colleagues, we were talking about deaths. And one of them asked if we are afraid to die.

Hmm.... But sad to say, we are all closer to death each passing day. Whether you like it or not. And each birthday also means a year closer to death.

Some may know, others may not. I am actually near death not once but twice. Three times to be exact but I think the first time I might not die la.

These are my near death incidents:

  1. A taxi drove past me even though it was green man on the traffic light. I was just few centimetres away from the wheel. And I remembered very clearly that it was at the traffic light between Tampines Mall and Tampines MRT station.
  2. I nearly died of some breathing difficulties. I can't even breathe or talk. Any slight breathing movement was so difficult. Few minutes seems like hours. Can you imagine me waiting to see a doctor at the polyclinic and I have to wait like an hour? I could have die even having a chance to see the doctor. Worse off, I wasn't given any medication to relieve my congestion until I requested for some medication to breathe.
  3. I was nearly bang down by a on-coming car in BKK. Actually I was dashing across without realizing there is a car coming towards me on the right. And I can hear the car honking at me. Actually I was shocked for a few seconds after realizing it. That point in time, then I came to understand by what people always mean..... At the most crucial part of your life or near death incident, you will tend to think of someone important to you.
To me, if you want me to die.... just let me die la.... don't come and tell me I got how many years left... how many months left.....

I rather not know.

And... you will only know if you has truly done anything good (karma) in your this life, after you are dead.

What a life.

Not so good day

Nothing much to mention about. But I guess, sometimes when we set our own expectations and performances high at the initially stage, it is difficult for us to slow down or stop in the later stage. For, others will see you not performing as well as before. Sometimes, we fail to see things changes, situation changes, environment changes, task changes and people we deal with also changes.

But in reality,

The only constant in life is changes.
How irony.

Singapore "Fengshui" Affected?

As I was chatting with Alvin on MSN yesterday, we were wondering what goes for Singapore Fengshui for 2009 after the "lightning attack" on the Merlion, one of Singapore's Tourist Icon.

As we all know, some of our tourists attractions landmark has been adjusted based on Fengshui. Taking the Singapore Flyers for example. Last year July, it has changed its direction dued to Feng Shui, so that it can bring fortune to Singapore. More details can be found here, a media release on Singapore Flyer Flying High with Fengshui. And we know in January, the Flyer stopped suddenly due to a small fire broke out in the control room.

As for the Merlion, for those who doesn't know, the MERLION has changed its location from the mouth of Singapore River to the current one that is adjacent to One Fullerton, which is just 120 metres away from the original location. Details can be found here. It was reported that the Merlion faces the east which is an auspicious Feng Shui position and is a symbol welcoming all tourists to the city of Singapore.

This is a photo of the Merlion that I took last year January, when I was showing Val around Singapore:

Merlion taken from my previous Panasonic 2MP phone

Anyway, this is the news report on the Merlion if you didn't catch it:



I know we shouldn't be joking about this, but on a lighter note, my colleagues and I were saying:

"Merlion has suffered from a head injury. Possibly a head concussion too. Currently, it is also having water retention from not able to pass out the water. It has to be on at least few weeks MC before it can be back to work. Till then, no visitors are allowed."

I also was asking my colleague why Merlion does not have a lightning conductor like most of our buildings and bus stops. And indeed in today's yahoo news, it was reported that they might considering having one. But I cannot imagine something sticking out of the Merlion head. Then wouldn't it look like a swordfish or something? Pondering....

Being cheeky and sarcastic, I was asking my ST colleague who is standing at around 1.92m whether will he be more likely to be strike by lightning than any of us, if we were all stand next to one another. So, it isn't too bad to be short..... just that maybe I have to jump to see things that other taller people can see with ease. Sigh. This so reminded me that I have to jump to see what is going on inside this supermarket (Topsmarket) when I was in BKK when someone can see that with ease... lolx... :


Other than these 2 landmarks/icons, there are also few more landmarks in Singapore based on Fengshui. One of such is the Esplanade and the other one is the Fountain of Wealth, including how Suntec City Towers were constructed. If anything is going to happen to any of our "fengshui-related" landmarks again, I seriously think there is something wrong with our fengshui. Maybe it is a warning to us.......

Like maybe others have said... ...

IS THIS A BAD OMEN?

Anyway, this seems to be a popular topic/thread in Forum. You can try to google it (using key words like: Merlion, Fengshui, lightning) and you will see many forums and blogs talking about it.
