The Retrocession

Had some awesome supper night and massive 兜风ing with friends in hall! :D I guess Recess Week is theonly time you can catch up with some breathers before work engulfs all of us again bah. Bought my new Jolin album. DARNED NICE! Her style keeps changing, and it's full of surprises. Since 72变 when I was P6, her transformation has been.... WHOA. 妈的，英文烂到已经不懂怎样describe了…… 就是 赞 啦。 Went to SGH yesterday. Passed by Bt Merah enroute. Tracking the paths my parents took when they first landed in Singapore: Singapore has a lot of interesting places to explore. Sometimes I really wonder whether it is a bliss or not that people neglect them. Why? 小坡 , was the name the elderly used to refer to Bugis area. Then where is 大坡 ? It's Chinatown, across the river.   Rochor Centre 梧槽中心 . Making way for the North-South Expressway soon. Train, no more. Did you know, that Queenstown was the earliest satellite town in Singapore? 桥南路 街景。 South Bri...

This week is happening enough. Russian Elementary Course ended with an interesting dinner at Zeffir. At Dunlop Street. I wonder why I didn't take pictures of the place, but the traffic conditions were bad. Anyway it's my first time trying Russian food. Potatoes, lotsa meat, but no chilli. It's always fun to try new things, but it's not my cup of tea hahaha. BUT THEY'VE GOT AWESOME SOUP. The next time I come I will try all their soups! And then we have ADIDAS SUNDOWN! Talking about chionging, it was a disappointing results comparedto last year's. I realised ever since I ORDed I have became a weakling. :( Wasting time doing stupid things I guess. It turned out that I spent my time camwhoring while running. Much to the annoyance of the other runners I guess? HAHAHAHA. It is indeed fun running in such large events. During our IPPT and NAPFA even though no one is tekan-ing us there will always be this innate mon...

Went to watch 那些年 with Dian Feng and Zhihao. 电影在台湾放映的时候就已经听说它有多么多么好看，没想到在这里想找几个人来看还这么难。中文片有那么难看吗，还是因为看不懂……？ Anyway电影人物的诠释挺好的，个个都很生动，配角跟主角的互动关系很生动，真得很像我们以前在学校里读书那样。哈哈 只是以前我们可不敢这么顽皮哦。 看完电影，心情总是还会沉浸在那个电影的”氛围“里面。话说这位柯先生追女生追了那么旧，最后就这么放弃了，真的是令人扼腕，惋惜啊。最傻的是他，最有勇气的，其实也是 他 。 其实，不管结局如何，有尝试过，就是有guts的表现。 只是，像他能够大大方方的接受结局（的残酷），有点不可能吧……？ 回到现实生活中，我能不能像他一样，脸皮那么厚的面对一切呢？ 就让二十年后的自己回头看好了。

Saya sekarang di Melaka. Sampai di sini pada 9.30 ptg. Ibubapa tak tahu saya sekarang di sini. Tolong jangan memberitahu mereka :D

This week is still, very very busy. But we have our way of killing precious time. A bunch of guys watching this together in the office, is surely a bit gay. By the way, Teo Heng yesterday FTW. I know who is Teo Hong, so now I wonder who is Teo Heng?

想记起的记不起， 想忘掉的忘不掉， 忘不掉的，又找不到。 最近大选好像很火爆，报纸的篇幅明显增加了许多。各政党每天举办群众大会，目的就是要让选民了解自己的竞选主张。 Okay that's not the point. I'm not going to, and I'm supposed to talk about politics here anyway. 最近群众大会上听到很多方言。后港的，当然是在讲潮州话。其他的，言语间也会参杂一些方言词汇，与居民博感情。 叫作“投其所好”。Basically有利自己的，就大力地将它合法化；反之，有悖于宗旨的，就将其铲除殆尽。殊不知，方言自我国开埠以来一直是维持宗亲关系的纽带，在各方言族群中可以当成是“母语”吧。Too bad, 我生下来家里就是在讲华语，从来没听过家里人用乡音交谈。回中国探亲时，才能在街上偶尔听几句不是很标准的陕西话。 It's a plight that kids nowadays don't understand dialect. Dialects are a good way of understanding of why a place is named, or why is there a demographic difference among different places in Singapore. Haven't anyone wondered why there are so many Teochews in Hougang? Haven't anyone realised that about 90% of the Bt Merah population is Chinese? And there are more Indians than Malays in Potong Pasir? 有些东西，未免有 矫枉过正 之嫌吧。 Anyway I'm signing it. Yeah like literally, sign, on the dotted line. The life is just for me. Maybe it's God's will ...

It's a Barnum and Bailey world, Just as phony as it can be, But it wouldn't be make-believe If you believed in me. Went to watch Norwegian Wood with Dianfeng, Zhihao and Normy. Pretty interesting show, I don't know how to describe already, it's kinda explicit. Never watch this in uniform I swear. Oh well, not the kind of movie I expected it to be. Thought the movie was a little to draggy and long, without much twist. 舍不得用“闷”，可以说是拖慢吧。 Okay lah, anyway I thought Midori (水原希子) was quite hot. SWEE LAH. VERY FULL STOMACH YESTERDAY. Crystal Jade $40, with 芋角 海蜇皮(Norman hates this) 四川酸辣汤 姜葱牛肉面 芦荟桂花蜜 woohoo~ Secret Recipe another $20 with 3 cakes and one yogurt drink. No choice, I had to go for 6km run after that around Choa Chu Kang. So much food is damn sinful. How to be a good soldier like that!

  Time is like, cleavage. Squeeze a bit, you'll have more of it . 这就是工作效率。 Have been doing quite a lot of random stuff recently, like doing deals or running errands for some goods etc. Which a lot of people says that it is not nice for me to be treated this way. Depends on how you look at it actually. If one chooses to think that this is absolute saikang and a ranked personnel shouldn't be doing this, he will only live in despair for the entire day. He will give people a sian face. He will make his colleagues sian as well. The mood of the entire workplace will be simply, SIAN . Why not look at it a different way, like wondering why your boss chose to give you this so called saikang job instead of others. Maybe because you're fit enough? Maybe he wants to give you to treat it as a learning opportunity? Or maybe he simply wants to see how zai you are? Hmm. We shall see how the situation goes then. Anyway screw the rain yesterday, it has made my job pretty ...

Went to the Singapore Biennale yesterday with Kimmy and LKY. Awesome stuff. Better than the Taipei one. At least user-interface is friendlier. And it's time to give basic camera tuition to Kimyong too. Hahahaha. Hard Work. Mockery at our "sincerely-made" mass produced Greeting Cards. Know where they are in Singapore? Got Profile Pic potential. Macro-mania. And I have to say, Malay is a useful language. Serious. Vulgar enough? Booze. And at SAM@8Q there is this guy who collects a lot of past newspapers and set up a gallery in the museum to share them with us! Some can date back till 1980s! I seriously think this policy is flawed. Vandalising the Guest Book hahaha Ok lah my skills not so bad lah huh AWESOME. LOVE ART. =)
