The Retrocession

Toronto trip was fun. I don't know how to describe it, I've been here for two weeks last year, yet I still get surprises along the way. Met a lot of awesome people. Hot Korean and Chinese babes too. It seems like Angmoh-born Asians are hotter. WHY HUH? Talking about immigrants, Toronto has A LOT A LOT of immigrants. When I reached their airport almost everyone I saw had black hair. Canada is a bilingual country with English and French. But here, Chinese and Korean characters are everywhere. What does being an immigrant imply? Increased competition for finite resources? Overcrowded trains and buses? It seems to me that migrating is a trend globally. Many angmohs (along with PRCs and Pinoys) chose to move to Singapore, while many Singaporeans are getting PR statuses elsewhere. During the good old monkey-ape days, people moved to seek shelter and food. The notion of nations and races, however, added identity to them. People started to gather as families and commun...

現在我在飛機上，還有3個鐘頭才到 Chicago，我已經 sian 到要跳機了咯！ 早上先從新加坡飛往東京成田機場 Narita。好像自己已經很習慣那些 check-in procedures 了，現在想一想，從中二到現在我年年出國，大馬當然就更不用算啦，去了五十幾次了都沒 sian 哈哈哈...... 日本美眉真的 kawaii 的㖏...... 不論老少都會給你那種很和靄可親的感覺，只可惜她們的英文真的是不可恭維啊！(−_−＃) 在成田機場遇到很多好像學校 immersion 歸國的學生，長得就沒有那麼 kawaii 了，反而羞澀的臉蛋上兩圈紅紅的，很有甘榜樣有沒有？ 日本機場的東西沒有我想像中貴，我最愛喝的「加爾必思」才賣¥150，折合新幣S$2.40左右，不算太貴啦，我們貢茶一杯「Plum Calpis」這樣小杯就已經要S$2.90了咯！ 從東京飛芝加哥就辛苦了...... 美國人的安檢真的真的真的非常嚴格，我有點 pekchek 了。我猜，這就是他們想當世界話事人的代價吧？ 這架航班要飛十幾個小時。我們在東京下午三點起飛，抵達芝加哥卻是同日下午一點，很神奇 hor？誰講時間不夠用，我這樣就 gain 了兩小時咯！

有時候真的搞不懂我要把自己搞得那麼忙幹嘛，又不是非得凸顯自己有幾厲害...... 現在好了，每天都出租給別人了，自己連睡覺都不夠了！

Went to Hebe's concert last night. It was a very unique experience. Her songs are very philosophical.  It strikes with whatever we're going through now, yet without the blast that rock bands like 五月天 would give us. Hebe的歌我只听过一首， 《寂寞寂寞就好》 ，还是当兵的时候在933上听的。 昨天之后，却爱上了几首歌，包括 《请你给我好一点的情敌》 、 《还是要幸福》 ，还有 《你太猖狂》 …… 还蛮好听的，歌词很有feel， 感觉当下，我们是在一片平行时空里，哈哈哈哈。 分手的理由千百种，只要其中有一方并不想分开，或没有被善待，任何原因都会被归纳为最烂的理由。例如：“我们个性不适合！” “我发觉自己配不上你！” “你会碰到更好的人！” “我的能力不够，无法给你幸福！” …… 以上听起来的确像是借口，但至少它不伤人，比起“我从来没有爱过你！”这个理由，要温和很多。 面对分手的残酷时刻，因为依依不舍而伤心难过的人，往往都忘了：当初开始相爱的时候，往往没有任何理由，就只是很单纯的喜欢而已。分手，其实也不需要任何理由，就只是很单纯的不爱了啊。 若执著于要求对方一定要给个更像样的理由，只不过是更加证明自己不甘心罢了 。 负心人提出的每个分手的理由，绝对都是史上最烂，但又何妨，愈烂就应该愈舍得潇洒地丢掉它，让自己重新出发。 from 《最烂的分手理由？》 by 吴若权 自己曾经是那不甘心的家伙， 还好平常多看书，悟性比较强，不至于陷落万丈深渊。 有时候看到诸男性同胞身陷囹圄，虽然能够感同身受，但是也帮不上多少忙。 Age doesn't imply maturity. Similarly, being through many events doesn't make you  mature either. It's what you've learnt through the events that make you ...

[与其 一个人逍遥自在 ，不如 两个人心灵相犀 。 真的。 written 11/11/11 12.46pm] 现在回头看，其实一个人逍遥自在比起两个人之间各种龃龉，更胜一筹。 不是吗？

Just ended yet another hectic week. Driving, finishing soon. Now learning parallel parking. NUS, just ended Eusoff Hall Camp. Quite fun. Might be flying to Shanghai in July , still pondering about it. What else....? Actually everyday is the same: tuition, driving, song-writing. Can't wait for school to start already. 等自己忙得跟狗一样就会后悔说这句话了吧 哈哈哈哈
