This afternoon was at the gym.... as we all know, gym towels are all blue in color. I happened to bring my relatively new blue towel and haven label it.
I left it at one workout machine and when to the free weight area. After a short while, i realize i 'lost' my towel and immediately went back to the machine to retrive it back. I saw a guy on the phone, beside him on the railing was a blue towel. the machine was vacant and there was also a blue towel. Mistakely, i took the towel on the machine, thinking it was mine.
Out of sudden, this guy 'chut' at me. Yes, making the irritating sound 'chut chut' with his mouth and staring at me. This is so rude. i am just in front of him, he has a mouth, cant he SPEAK? IF i am far, using this 'chut' method, is still argueable 'reasonable'. But we are so near, cant we talk?
I apologized and the instructor nearby, which i think he must have noticed my missing towel, pointed to me the blue towel on the railing. I apologized and took the towel and turned away.
Rude fellow.

有一点冲动
有一点冲动，
唤醒沉睡的自己。
勇敢面对，勇敢争取。
有一点冲动，
很想打破沉默，
安静，沉默其实不是我想要的。
有一点冲动，
说出我千言万语，
不再逃避，不再退缩。
有一点冲动，
不想再压抑自己，
打开心中的笼子，释放内心的感触。
唤醒沉睡的自己。
勇敢面对，勇敢争取。
有一点冲动，
很想打破沉默，
安静，沉默其实不是我想要的。
有一点冲动，
说出我千言万语，
不再逃避，不再退缩。
有一点冲动，
不想再压抑自己，
打开心中的笼子，释放内心的感触。
三国电影1
有两部电影，我是一定会看的。
1 三国．见龙卸甲 Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon
2 赤壁
首先先声明，我没说两部都是好电影，只是我个人觉得，以我的个性，我是会去看的。
我热爱"三国"。1994年开始读"三国演义"。"演义是7分真，3分假，所以是历史小说。
正史却是"三国志" 。但是，都1800多年了，真假，很难分。
诸葛亮可能没那么‘神’，刘备可能没那么‘大仁大义’。
关公(羽)可能没那么神勇，赵云，也可能没那么‘完美’。
曹操也可能不是真的那么邪恶。
但是他们都是精英，都是了不起的人。不是神，但是却是伟人。
诸葛亮鞠躬尽瘁，关公(羽)的忠义，赵云的谨慎小心都是我们要学习的。
关公(羽)没‘演义’中描述的那么神勇？你试看拿起40公斤的大刀杀敌看看。
诸葛亮没那么聪明？你试试统领大军而且得到胜利看看。
赵云，历史，演义对他的描述不多。
历史，演义对关二哥很尊敬。他的名字都以‘公’来代替。而且他的威武，写的很好。诸葛亮，一出场就光芒万丈。
赵云很朴素。但，他的确是个良将。
历史上有‘前后左右’四位蜀国(刘备)的大将 - 关公，张飞，黄忠，马超。
三国志里并没有“五虎将”、“四虎将”的叫法，“五虎上将”是三国演义以及后人评定的。赵云确实是一位值得尊崇的良将，但他当时职位相当于禁军统率，不像关张马黄统领大军攻城拔寨。赵云也确实很少有过独挡一面或在战场立下大功的经历（比一下就知道：关公斩庞德擒于禁威震华夏，张飞大闹长_坡，马超杀的曹操割须弃袍，黄忠斩夏侯渊而赵云只是在保护主公和家眷的时刻表现抢眼，三军阵前没有彪炳史册的战绩）。
从历史事实出发，即使不把赵云与关张马黄的事迹并列，也是合情合理的。
但是在一些书籍上，把赵云放在前四位大将一起，也可以。
由于蜀国没有设置中领军，故而以中护军为统帅。因而关张马黄赵分别为前右左后中五军的军事统帅，将其列为一类立传，自有其道理。赵云之所以没有留下斩将夺关的辉煌战绩，是因为中军与外军的分工不同。赵云的职责在禁卫而不在临阵破敌，重防御而不可主动出击，他很少有机会像关张马黄那样统领大兵与敌正面交锋，因为领袖安全才是第一要务，擅自进攻反而是失职行为。从这个角度再看赵云的事迹，作为中军统帅他做得非常出色，正如关张马黄作为外军统帅甚称其职一样，赵云在他的工作岗位上功劳卓著无可挑剔，切不可因为其工作性质不同就歧视于他。蜀国中央军有此五人作为统帅，正得其人，“五虎将”之称非虚也。
赵云，子‘子龙’，一身是胆，胆大心细。
因为如此，刘备，诸葛亮常常把重任交给他。诸葛亮在后期7出祁山攻打魏国，很多时候，都是赵云的协助，才会得胜利。不然，就是靠赵云断后，而减轻损失。
赵云很理智，临危不乱。关公遇害，刘备要报仇，赵云理智的说，关公之仇，是私仇，不应该因为私人仇恨，影响大局。曹操才是公敌。
有人说赵云一生的官位并不很显赫，甚至还不如魏延，其实这是一种错误理解。赵云的角色是掌内事，是禁军统领，这一职务非亲信心腹智勇足备之人不能胜任。“中护军”是一个非常重要的职务。
赵云是三国中少有的几位文武双全的武将之一，是自吕布之后的三国第一猛将，单骑救主即是其能力真实写照！但其谋略也相当了得，是刘备最为器重的大将。从事小心谨慎，人称常胜将军！ 三国演义中，刘备亲赐五虎大将军的称号予关羽、张飞、赵云、马超、黄忠五人，赵云仅次于关张位居第三。但史传中赵云不但终其一生位阶始终较关张低上许多，甚至尚不及马超、黄忠。实际上，演义中除了孔明之外，溢美最多的人物恐怕就是赵云了。
细数演义里赵云武勇的事迹，其武艺高超，遭遇强敌无数而未尝一败，甚至数度击败曹魏名将张合；在汉水河畔勇救老黄忠时，「那枪浑身上下，若舞梨花，遍体纷纷，如飘瑞雪」，吓得徐晃、张合不敢抵挡，任其在万军之中来去自如，如入无人之境；当阳长板坡，赵云于百万曹军中怀抱阿斗，还能连杀曹营名将五十人后从容离去，其神威盖世，简直无人能及！演义中击杀敌军将领之多，实无人出赵云之右。
但演义中赵云所杀敌将，几乎全部都是演义虚构出来的；其中当阳救主、汉水退敌(注2)虽然见载于史册，却也绝无演义渲染的那么夸张。赵云的武勇在刘备阵营是被肯定的。蜀书杨戏传中记载了杨戏对赵云的评价，其中就有「猛将之烈」四个字。然而出了蜀汉，知道赵云的人恐怕就不多了。演义描述敌方对刘备阵营的忌惮，动辄排出「诸葛孔明之智，关张赵云之勇」，然而我们看到赤壁战后周瑜写给孙权的信，其中却只有提到「枭雄」刘备和关张两头「熊虎」。
不妨比较一下成书较早的三国志平话中的描写。按平话中的赵云已经是五虎大将之一，但仍然依照史实列于五人之末；而赵云在平话中用的枪虽有涯角枪的美誉--谓其天涯海角无对也，却败于张飞的丈八神枪在先、又被铁臂将军张益击败于后。由张飞听到赵云被张益击败的消息之后「大怒出战」张益的情节，更隐隐透露出了早期三国故事中赵云所扮演的角色。赵云虽然不像演义中所描写的那么光芒万丈，仍不失为一员良将。
他的优点有：
其一，深明大义。在那个动乱扰攘的年代里，一个人的文韬武略为谁所用，乃是其品格高下的试金石。当其时也，为一己之富贵而趋炎附势，助纣为虐者不乏其人，懵懵懂懂地供人趋使者更比比皆是。赵云的选择如何呢？据《云别传》记载：当赵云初从公孙瓒时，袁绍称冀州牧。瓒深忧州人之从绍也，善云来附，嘲云曰：“闻贵州人皆愿袁氏，君何独回心，迷而能反乎？”云答曰：“天下汹汹，未知孰是，民有倒县（悬）之噩，鄙州论议，从仁政之所在，不为忽袁公而私明将军也。”这一段话，可以看作是赵云的政治宣言。他的原则--“从仁政之所在”；他的目标--解民于倒悬。在封建社会中，这应该说是难能可贵的人生理想。他先投公孙瓒是为此，后归刘备也是为此，而不是单纯出于私人感情。正是这一点，使赵云大大高于一般的赳赳武夫。
其二，忠直敢谏。《云别传》中有这样一段记载：益州既定，时议欲以成都中屋舍及城外园地桑田分赐诸将。云驳之曰：“霍去病以匈奴未灭，无用家为，今国贼非但匈奴，未可求安也。须天下都定，各返桑梓，归耕本土，乃其宜耳。益州人民，初罹兵革，田宅皆可归还，令安居复业，然后可以役调，得其欢心。”先主即从之。自此军民安堵。
这件事告诉我们，赵云的头脑比同时的许多人清醒，他不仅能从刘备集团的长远利益考虑问题，而且注意争取民心。无怪乎刘备马上采纳了他的建议。当刘备要去讨伐东吴，以报袭荆州，杀关羽之仇时，赵云又挺身而出，竭力劝阻，指出：“国贼是曹操，非孙权也先与吴战”。由于刘备拒绝了赵云，秦宓等人的诤言，一意孤行，终于遭到夷陵之败，使蜀汉元气大伤。这从反面证明了赵云意见的正确。综观蜀汉集团的历史，在众多武将中，其他人都不曾象赵云那样，从根本大计上直言规谏刘备，这又是赵云识见过人之处。
其三，公正无私。赵云追随刘备多年，总是克己奉公，不徇私情。赤壁之战前，刘备曾于博望坡打败曹操大将夏侯敦。在战斗中，赵云俘获了其部下夏侯兰。他与夏侯兰本是同乡，“少小相知”。在这种情况下--云白先主活之，荐兰明于法律，以为军正。云不用自近，其慎虑类此。不是私自买放，而是报告刘备；不是为自己增添帮手，而是为刘备推荐人才；公事公办，实堪赞赏！赵云的这一优秀品质早为刘备所赏识，所以刘备曾任他为留营司马，“掌内事”，而他一直兢兢业业，秉公理事。相比之下，好恶由己，褒贬任情的杨仪之流就差得太远了。
其四，谦虚谨慎。赵云在蜀汉集团中，资格仅次于关羽，张飞，又有救护刘禅之功；但他从不居功自傲，从不争名夺利，对后来居上者也能友好相处。这一点，是“刚而自矜”的关羽，“性矜高”的魏延等人所不及的。建兴六年（228年），诸葛亮一出祁山，遭到街亭之败，赵云与邓芝率领的疑兵也在箕谷失利。在撤退时，由于赵云亲自断后，部伍不乱，“军资实物，略无所弃”。诸葛亮对此十分赞赏，要赏赐赵云所部将士。这时，赵云毫无沾沾自喜之态，而是诚恳地说：“军事无利，何为有赐？其物请悉入赤岸府库，须十月为冬赐。”透过这番真挚的话语，其律己之严格，胸襟之开阔，均可洞然而见。那些浅薄自负，自吹自擂之徒，岂能望其项背！
最后，要说的是，让刘德华演，没有错。赵云在历史上，虽然英俊，但却不是什么美男子，年轻小伙子啊。
最纳闷的是那个ABC - maggie Q...
好了，说完赵云，以后再谈‘赤壁’-诸葛亮。

congrats to Ma Ying Jiu
恭喜 马英九 高票当选台湾总统。国民党(KMT) 再次执政，台湾一片‘蓝天’。
情感上，我是念旧的。还是希望国民党执政。毕竟孙中山到蒋公逃到台湾，都是打着该党旗号。当然，理念可能变了但是，都说是‘情感’了，所以，不必理会逻辑分析。
再来，小马哥温文尔雅，打着‘道德清廉’的口号。小马私下是否真的如此圣贤，我不知道。但是至少身为领导，‘门面功夫’做的好，而且有责任感。通情达理，头脑清醒。不像阿扁，谢长廷两人那么像个小丑。
治国安邦，需要贤人。国家昏乱，需要忠臣，圣人来领导。小马是不是圣人，还是让历史去评估。但，至少让这位比较‘清白’的人来管台湾，风险会比较小，希望会比较大。
祝福台湾。
PS: 小弟个人愚见，台湾是永远属于中国一部分的。

Yes, a success
Yesterday was the last day of our Taoist Day Celebration.
Just in case some of you didnt know, the celebration lasted from last TUE all the way to SUN. Tue and Wed were for the Taoism Talks, Thur, Fri, Sat were rituals. 12 rituals to be done in just 3 days!
We started at 9am DAILY and end at 9pm. After that, still got logistic, administrative and preparation work to do.
So folks, now you know, it is never easy to do big events. And cant say that its 'late liao, must go back'...you have to make sacrifices and take up the responsiblity.
Last night was the dinner night. Special thank to my friends, Jimmy and Wife, Alfred and Qing Yu, AK and Gabriel for attending. My family came too, thanks to you guys also.
Our GOH - Mr and Mrs Tharman, was very kind. They came, went to the stage and although a non-Taoist, still offer incense to our Lord Lao Zi. later they also out of goodwill donated money to us as well.
9 main religions in Singapore also went on stage to perform a min of prayer each.
Here and there, there were hiccups, well, we done our best, must admit we did not have sufficient preparation work done for the dinner night, cos we really have limited time left and too many things to handle. But we still do our best.
The guy who we invited to come and hold the auction did not appear. I and 1 of my fellow brother had to go to the stage to take over. It was really terok! It was really not my cup of tea, and i am rather tired, not prepared and blur. Mind blank liao. lol
well, what to do? it has happened and you need to do damage control. But i am really thankful that many kind supporters forgive our hiccups and still support us throughout. Things manage to proceed and ended happily. Personally i trust it is the grace of our Lord that make it all a success.

First day - of Taoist Day Celebration
well..a blog is suppose to be place to blog about my life right. so this week is kinda 'religious' week for me. So there will be quite some postings with 'religious' stuff.
Why i put '' on the word religious? Cos its a funny term.
1 type of people avoid this term at all cost, because they are 'not interested' and 'alien' to it. (although they are still 'patang' and practice some beliefs).
another type of ppl see other religion as 'higher' class and ours are 'superstitious and therefore if you are associated with it, that makes you 'low class superstious' too.
For me, i dun care. because i know the reality is not the case.
Anyway, some pictures...

is it worth it?
Hmmm...
Its not whinning..but i feel that i should really pen it down. Just my personal thoughts.
I have a revision class in school, 830am later. And i just barely reached home. For these 1-2 weeks, i almostly totally devoted my time to preparing and helping out in the Taoist Day celebration.
Well, its volunteer work, out of interest, commitment and the passion in us, that push us to do it FOC.
Many people asked me, eh, how much u are paid? how much u get?
Well, is it everything we need to talk money? No right...
Yes i know, people will say, oh Jeremy, by making that statement, you are 'avoiding' the 'reality' and not practical. Kinda 'dumb' of you...sacrifice your time for 'nothing'.
Well, i seriously don't think so.
A set of traditions, a set of culture NEED people to pass on. It does not pass on 'automatically'. I know most cars are 'auto', but in real life, not all things are auto. Well, by able to understand this point, it prove that i am NOT avoiding reality. In fact i understand the hard and cruel of reality.
AND with the inevitable westernization and modernization, each individual's traditions and culture get 'difused'. Well, talking about 'unqiue' and 'special', isnt it many young generation seek to be? To be different. And if our traditions get 'diffused', that make ALL of us look the same, behave the same. So, there is a need to preserve traditions. And this again, is not an automatic process. You need people to set it right,work on it.
So far, i only mentioned 2 words - traditions, culture and NOT religion. Why? Because religion is a western invented term. For most Asians, Malay, Indian, Chinese, worship and belief is all part and parcel of life. part of norms, culture. No need to split it up into 'culture' and 'religion'. Without religion, traditions will be meaningless to hold on. So, by saying 'traditions' , it as good as saying inclusive of beliefs and religion.
why do it for free? Cos its not a business. do you earn money by serving your parents, helping your friend? no right? the same reason applies. Its OUR heritage. You wash and take care of the clothe you wear, you do not expect a 'salary' from doing laundry right.
Why avoid? Many people 'avoid' their belief. 'aiya, my parents take care can le', 'oh...dun wan la, pai say'. 'oh..thats for old ppl'.
old ppl? mean to say, these ppl are 'borned old'? Hey, they were once young too! And they hold on to their traditions since they were young! So in other words, it started off young too. And thus not something for the 'old'.
Parents doing it? Yes, our parents love us and its their duty to preserve the culture and tradition. But just like in a family, we all get involve. Interest only grow out from involvment and participation. Keeping it away from oneself only make one MORE alien and un-interested to it. SInce it is OUR thing, why we want to 'keep away' from it?
'pai say'? You mean to say, some ppl worship EVERY sun, or EVERY Fri, they are also pai say? hmm..if im not wrong, they actually feel proud, passionate! They remain united, and strong. Of course, many of them went to exreme cases, but im not implying we all go extreme. But, the question is, why are we SOOOOO low in our self esteem?
Esp the older generation, many of them practice traditions for the sake of practicing. Deep down, they just wish to dump everything. And when they see ppl in other belief, they see with envy, praise..'oh their are so simple, so 'clean'. Oh..their are so profound and deep in knowledge'. going to sunday service is 'high class'..going to temple is 'superstitious'.
'you burn joss sticks ah? why so religious why so superstitious?'
'Ali, you going to mosque? pls go ahead then, its your religion, its impt'.
See the funny thing here? Its self esteem. Believers not having confidence in their own belief. Non-believer, seeing it with a big biase issue.
I dun blame non-believers. Cos many believers are really a big let down. 'i pray to tua pek kong, but im not a taoist leh'.
'hmm..i pray to ancestor..but erm..i dun really know whats going on leh..oh..ancestor worship is part of taoism..erm..but...erm..im still not a taoist leh'.
'ya la..i admit i burn joss paper...i taoism de la...what? go temple? dun wan la..for wat?'.
All these common remarks are from common believers. Sad isnt it. Given to other religion, it will be rare to see all these. Worship is suppose to be 'chicken soup for the soul and mind' but surprisingly, chicken soup for the mind and soul, no one wants it. Chicken soup for the body, everybody wants it.
Deep and big problem, in which i do my little bit to set it right. Seem ambitious, but a thousand mile begins with a first tiny step.
Its not whinning..but i feel that i should really pen it down. Just my personal thoughts.
I have a revision class in school, 830am later. And i just barely reached home. For these 1-2 weeks, i almostly totally devoted my time to preparing and helping out in the Taoist Day celebration.
Well, its volunteer work, out of interest, commitment and the passion in us, that push us to do it FOC.
Many people asked me, eh, how much u are paid? how much u get?
Well, is it everything we need to talk money? No right...
Yes i know, people will say, oh Jeremy, by making that statement, you are 'avoiding' the 'reality' and not practical. Kinda 'dumb' of you...sacrifice your time for 'nothing'.
Well, i seriously don't think so.
A set of traditions, a set of culture NEED people to pass on. It does not pass on 'automatically'. I know most cars are 'auto', but in real life, not all things are auto. Well, by able to understand this point, it prove that i am NOT avoiding reality. In fact i understand the hard and cruel of reality.
AND with the inevitable westernization and modernization, each individual's traditions and culture get 'difused'. Well, talking about 'unqiue' and 'special', isnt it many young generation seek to be? To be different. And if our traditions get 'diffused', that make ALL of us look the same, behave the same. So, there is a need to preserve traditions. And this again, is not an automatic process. You need people to set it right,work on it.
So far, i only mentioned 2 words - traditions, culture and NOT religion. Why? Because religion is a western invented term. For most Asians, Malay, Indian, Chinese, worship and belief is all part and parcel of life. part of norms, culture. No need to split it up into 'culture' and 'religion'. Without religion, traditions will be meaningless to hold on. So, by saying 'traditions' , it as good as saying inclusive of beliefs and religion.
why do it for free? Cos its not a business. do you earn money by serving your parents, helping your friend? no right? the same reason applies. Its OUR heritage. You wash and take care of the clothe you wear, you do not expect a 'salary' from doing laundry right.
Why avoid? Many people 'avoid' their belief. 'aiya, my parents take care can le', 'oh...dun wan la, pai say'. 'oh..thats for old ppl'.
old ppl? mean to say, these ppl are 'borned old'? Hey, they were once young too! And they hold on to their traditions since they were young! So in other words, it started off young too. And thus not something for the 'old'.
Parents doing it? Yes, our parents love us and its their duty to preserve the culture and tradition. But just like in a family, we all get involve. Interest only grow out from involvment and participation. Keeping it away from oneself only make one MORE alien and un-interested to it. SInce it is OUR thing, why we want to 'keep away' from it?
'pai say'? You mean to say, some ppl worship EVERY sun, or EVERY Fri, they are also pai say? hmm..if im not wrong, they actually feel proud, passionate! They remain united, and strong. Of course, many of them went to exreme cases, but im not implying we all go extreme. But, the question is, why are we SOOOOO low in our self esteem?

What Tarot Card are You?
You are The Hierophant
Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.
All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.
The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

矛盾
心中好像有两个我。
别误会，不是‘抄袭’人家，我知道有很多人都有这样个感觉。
但是，又有几个会去分析呢？
一边叫我‘醒醒啊’，一边叫我‘坚持！’
这种奇怪‘现象’，我们人类称之为‘矛盾’。我们的大脑，我们的内心深处可以
有无数的矛盾。
一边是理性的，一边是感性的。
一边叫我去先发制人，一边叫我顺其自然。
哪边才是‘正确’答案？
是非只在局势，很多时候什么是‘对’的，什么是‘错’的，往往是按照局势的变化。例如，大势已去，还死不放弃，这是‘执着’。如果众望所归，不放弃，这就不是‘指著’了，这是‘恒心’。
问题又来了，局势的分析又如何去衡量？何为‘大势已去’，何为‘众望所归’？
得与失，不是永恒不变的。
这，就是‘命’。人一定要为自己幸福去争取，要努力。但是人也同时无法控制‘命’。
又矛盾，又无奈。

why like that de?
Finally my prelim over. Rest away, do my other things first..then after 1 week or 1.5 week later..i start my re-revision for my final exams.
Yea. Drill and drill. practice make perfect! Cannot make same mistake as last year... in life...2nd chance is rare...3rd chance? FAT hope. Do it once, do it right.
First paper, HRM.... sort of prepared for it.... so its ok. Second paper, Social Psychology...3rd paper...Marketing... also prepared liao... just go there write and write until my hands cramp.. so its also ok.
3 qualitative paper..more then over 12 essasy style questions.. in just a 4 days! Long time no write liao... abit slow and my handwritting sucks. lolz
today POA was terrible. lolz.
partially i am really abit tired...didnt prepare well..and partially it was a really tough paper. We really need to drill more on it! And quanitative paper is always my weakest link. i am highly insensitive to numbers. I like theories more.
"It is never more practical then a good theory"
Well..apart for rantling on my prelim... i noticed something too.
Chin Chye, my good buddy birthday was yesterday. The day before, he went to the IT show with another friend and Chye treated this friend. Simple fare, KFC meal (that friend's request). This friend, also know Chye for almost 10 years and know chye's birthday. Pity he didnt join in the dinner treat later (he was busy).
There's a saying, if you are not free, at least give a gift right?
Yup. He didnt do that. He didnt go for the dinner treat, but chye did 'compensate', didnt he? and even if he didnt, as an old friend, meeting chye at a date near his birthday, shouldnt he do something? a gift? or treat back? even for coffee also good right?
Really THAT poor? i don't think so. Many people say they are poor, but their bank account still remains alot of '000'. And they can still spend money on themselve. No offence to anyone, i just feel that, with due respect and nothing wrong spending and pampering yourselve, do think and sacrifice abit on people around you, whom you cherish. Friendship, family, relative ties ALL need sacrifices to maintain and build.
Furthermore, everyone is 'old' enough to know the simple social logic of norms of reciprocity. Also, its 'standard' protocol de mah..aiyo. whay like that de?

We all bought him present.. and he treated us to a wonderful dinner at Sakura, Orchard.
Its really happy to see many of us attended...Junrong, Zhonghan, Jiaying, Florence, Liqing, Tianping.. and me of course. Pity Tianhao cant join us.
Happy for all of us, after so many years, for some, its over 10 yrs of friendship, for some of us, nearly 10 yrs of friendship.
We will always cherish it. Friends Forever!!
Chinchye, hope u like the presents we gave you and may all your wishes come true one day!

过关斩将
HAIZ....
终于打破第一‘关’了。嗯，其实‘破’了没有，我还不知道。但是至少我已经
‘出发’，‘过关斩将’了。
今天下午是我这学期的第一份模拟考试。成绩好坏，完全不会影响最后的成绩单。
但是，模拟考试(prelim,aka mock exam)是非常重要的。它让我们有心理准备面对，应付两个月后的正式大考。它也为我们这些学生提供一些大考题目的‘提示’。
模拟考试试卷也会交到英国伦敦大学的考官批改，然后在复习课上复习，讲解。
今天是social psychology试卷-社会心理学。伤脑筋的一科。很多词汇要记得。
Illusory Correlation. Demand Characteristic. Social Comparison, Social Identity Theory. False Consensus Effect. Normative Social Influence. Informational Social Influence. Referent Informational Influence. Public Compliance. Schema. Stereotype ETC. 真的是TMD。
一大堆词汇，而且还要写两篇文章。还好，我们的讲师已经为我们提供‘提示’，每年的考试，必出题目已经‘泄漏天机’了。于是我努力‘闭关修炼’，才能多多少少记得。
好累啊。三小时的考试，写千多个字。‘元气大伤’。哈哈。
其实，虽然是累，一些些的满足感还是有的。因为勇敢面对它(试卷)，而且懂得如何回答。
当然，不期望金榜题名，但，至少尽力了，问心无愧。
来临星期六，两张试卷正等着我。
加油！勇敢面对，一定要过五关，斩六将！

Escaped Terrorist
March 3, 2008
Security firm offers $1,000 reward to staff to track down JI fugitive A SECURITY service firm is offering a $1,000 reward to its 250 officers to help track down terrorist Mas Selamat Kastari, who has been on the run for more than five days now. Metropolis Security Systems, who employs 250 guards in over 55 industrial, residential and commercial sites, put up the bounty in an internal circular to all its staff on Monday. The notice, issued by the firm's General Manager James Soh, said the $1,000 reward is 'for any information leading to the successful capture and arrest' of JI detainee Mas Selamat, the militant leader of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) network in Singapore. 'With over 250 officers deployed island-wide, we hope to cover some grounds and hopefully mobilise our resources to help the authority,' Mr Mutaza Sarbini, Metropolis operations manager, told The Straits Times. 'We also believe that collective effort by security associations and other private security agencies in Singapore to consolidate effort and resources could bring about synergy and joint-effort with the Police in addressing the security issue at hand.'
Many Singaporeans and Netizens have suggested offering a reward to the public for information leading to the whereabouts of the fugitive, who escaped from a toilet in the Whitley Road Detention Centre last Wednesday at 4.05pm, where he had been held under the Internal Security Act. Authorities believe he acted alone and is still in Singapore.
More than 1,000 police and security personnel are deployed in a nationwide search for Mas Selamat, who was linked to a plot to hijack a plane and crash it into the Singapore's Changi Airport. Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng said on Sunday that there there was no evidence that Mas Selamat, a Singaporean, has fled the country. Asked if the Government would offer a reward for the arrest of the JI fugitive, Mr Wong said 'this is not the practice of the police'. Police have warned that Mas Selamat should be regarded as a dangerous man and advised against confronting him. Given that it has more than 100 hours since his flight, he could already have changed his physical appearance, using disguises such as sunglasses, headdresses or caps, said police, adding that he may resort to stealing clothes and food to survive. Over 54,000 posters and leaflets of the wanted man have been put up at public places and distributed to residents across Singapore.

is it morally 'wrong' to have reward?
now its about getting things done, which is arresting this bugger, and we have 'i am sorry' talking about 'norms(practices) of the police'.
i'll throw back the question to 'him'(i am sorry), is letting a terrorist escape on a toliet trip A PRACTICE of the police?

1st march
got make up lesson today..HRM... its one of the few extremely rare cases where i got morning 830am class this term..cos i planned all my lesson in the afternoon.
Although i wake up rather early (sending my sis to sch too), i prefer to go to sch in afternoon.. :)
Well, partially to avoid the terrible morning jam.. Hmm..however im a person that actually like to start my day in early too. So i might consider making my lessons back to morning in next term.
Now is preparation for prelim, after that intensive revision, then exams in may...hopefully i can do well. Haiz.
This afternoon my friend called me, saying something wrong with my blog, heng its back to normal when i logon now.
this coming wed is my social psychology prelim...already started preparing...hopefully i can do it good.
Anyway, this afternoon after class, was chatting with some friends over lunch at Ngee Ann Alumi. Wow.. we really chatted everything under the sun!
From exams, to studies, work, Eygpt culture, history, Macro Polo, Qin Shihuang, reincarnation, aliens, galaxies, universe, sun, earth, deep sea animals, water horse, light years, stars etc. Amazing how we can chit chat that amount of topics in 2 hrs.
Well, i do believe the world is still full of unexplored, unexplained stuffs, full of mysteries waiting for us to discover. As compared, man is really a 'small' part....
Some people may thing, we are too imaginative to talk about such things, to think about such things, we should be talking about our future, $$$ etc. Hmm..yes its REALLY important, but is it thats all?
Lydia Sum left behind a hugh sum of money for her daughter. At the end of the day, she left the world empty handed too. Does her daughter rather want the money or her mum back?
We can have $1 million assets, but if the world changed, room temperature become as high as 40 degrees, the earth is sick and our children faces great natural disaster threat. Hmm.. are we still 'happy' that we have $1 million?
Well...some food for thought. Paper qualifications, money is EXTREMELY vital in improving our living conditions, BUT its not everything.
Spend time admiring mother nature and pounder over the vast galaxies.. we learn to embrace and be more tolerant this way.. the world is so big.
