Japanese curry chicken pasta yesterday
The curry chicken is nice and pasta too. But just that when they are put into one dish, it just tasted not right. Well it's still better to match with rice and pasta should go with cream or tomato based sauce. ;-)

New year's day one~
Caught a movie with mummy this afternoon and went to new house site.
Watched "The tourist", starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie @ AMK Cathay. Main shoots are in Venice and the architecture is very nice. Houses on water and water transport kinda gives us a tourist sight of its beauty. Plot is quite predictable and you would have guessed who's "Alexander Pierce" near the end scene. Gotta love the way both of them speak and looked at each other.
Went to new house at CS today. Haven got the keys so we could only go up till the doorstep. Haha a clutter of dark clouds came by and it poured down while we were "finding" our way out of the compound area near the void deck. The covered shelter way leading to the bus stop was broken at the other end. So it was dead end. We had to turn back and go by the way we went in, uncovered. Thank God that the rain toned down to a mere drizzle and we could walk to the bus stop.
Returned to AMK by bus and had dinner at nihon mura. Think I was pretty hungry and had many plates. It came to a $30 bill for 2 persons. We had 3 pattern plates and 7 color plates, and one mentai hotate ala carte dish. We also had green tea for drinks. It is more worthy of the $30 because it includes 10% service charge and gave a variety of choices, as compared to the bento and pasta we had in the afternoon at MOF Cafe, Sweets and Desserts, which had no service charge (Self-service order, payment and water pouring), that totaled a $30 bill too.
Rounded up the day with some toiletries shopping. Started Day 1 of the year with the most common routine stuffs. Just pray everything is going to be calm and peaceful this year. Amen.

停滞
小学时，求学为讨好父母，满足他们的要求，做个乖宝宝。
中学时候，发现求学得看兴趣和发展前途，设法当资优生。
到高中的时候，才知道矛盾的是， 两者之中只能选一个。
进入社会，才知道在技能未能展示出来前，只能看外表和学历。
老是听人哾，人不可冒相，海水不可斗量。
即使相处数十年的知己好友，都有可能出卖你的一天。
更何况是，刚通过短短数十分钟的面谈认识的一个人？
还有， 路遥知马力，日久见人心。
在相处数年后，对身边的人，又能了解多少呢?
突然态度来个180度转变，才发现身边的这个人，还不认识他。
人嘛， 莫过于缠绕在家庭，感情，事业，生活和金钱的种种事件当中。
不曾拥有的， 渴望拥有，却不知无也是一种幸福。
拥有的， 却未必是件好事。 有的人不是不知足， 就是不珍惜。
有的人很知足， 也很珍惜， 但是却烦恼和害怕失去。
失去过的人， 比起以上两种， 多体验了失去的痛苦， 因此会更努力再次拥有，更珍惜。
但是这并不表示会知足，不会再次失去。
舍得，舍得...
有舍才有的。
怎么又是一个相等的方程式（balancing equation)？有人得， 必有人失去。
当我们作任何选择的时候， 必然失去未选择的， 而得到所选择的。
这份工作也呆了3年多，觉得该是换工作的时候了。 可是想到该换份什么样的工作，脑子里又浮出一大堆问号......

My Zoo trip experience
Time to add some nice pics here. I haven't been to the zoo for some time.. It was the 1st time to go alone with friends. The pics are not very nice though. Great amount of room for improvements. I will have to try to improve my skills so that I can bring out what I was trying to capture. Taking pictures is can be really fun. It's full of surprises and excitement. While trying to catch one object in the whole surroundings, you may find surprisingly other interesting things along the way. It kind of depicts life in a smaller scale. Perhaps greater inspirations can be found and builds on my mental spirit.
Here they are:
Erm.. this is not what I saw 'Live' at the zoo. In fact it was just on a piece of wall up at a strawy 'tree' hut near the elephant area in the zoo. I had a touched feeling when I took this. I was imagining the images of elephants moving in herds in their natural habitat in the wilds. The young elephant's trunk would hook itself onto the tail of the mother elephant. Was I missing motherly love? Haha.. anyway it reminded me of how wonderful and how fortunate it could be to be with your own mother... kinship?
In an interesting corner, where you'll find Asian Crops, this was where we found this magnificent view. The water was peaceful and so was the sky. It had slow moving clouds which I enjoyed looking at them changing shapes and formations. They moved slowly, merging and separating. At this point of time, I thought I had seen a side profile of a teenage mutant ninja turtle. It seemed to have been moving from my left to the right. Apparently from the picture, my shot does not this focus. This is because my perspective was the upside down reflections of everything above the water line shown in the surface of the water. I had a standalone picture of my 'turtle' which I have not put up here. :P
Have a guess where this was taken. It was a few meters to the left from where I took the previous one. The whole color scheme changed from the blue sky and water to this greenly feel. I was amazed how things could look so different from a different angle at the same place. It had felt so full of life and fresh.
Wouldn't you find something weird going on in this picture. Yes, we spotted the clear trail moving towards the opposite direction of the current on the water surface. I was thinking like: 'Maybe there were traveling fishes in schools which were swimming against the current?'
Seeing animals ought to be the primary objective going to the zoo. However, it was the environment which earned more of my appreciation. Maybe I was in the urban city for too long. Should have exposure to greens more often. On second thoughts, I was quite worried to find only polluted parks or natural reserves. It's quite a spoil sport to the outing if it happens. Gosh I am so contradicting. (-_-)"

New blog on sina
Gonna use sina blog when I feel writing in Chinese. Will still rattle here. Trying out the features over there. I like mblogging but have not set up the linkage after lost my dear SE k800i. Well look out on my sina blog in future. May have some surprises. The main reason of the switch is because of convenience. Lol... well since I am checking out on Ashin's blog regularly, I might as well drop my thoughts at the same space over there. Think I will reserve the space here for my long stories.

實踐，空想，還是說說而已？
10% - 實踐
50% - 空想
40% - 還是說說而已
=================
成功率 = 10%

所以, 成功是非常稀罕和可貴的。要珍惜、還是珍惜!

開始既是結束，結束既是開始
5月16號，即將開始最後的一學期。終於開始了，這也意味著它即將結束，為我的傳播系高級文憑劃上休止符。心情不上也不下，好像是有一點忐忑，卻又沒有不安。是不是因為熱情已逝，在也讓我感受不到任何欣慰？

$ Monetised~! Stress & Panic~!$
CPI rises at a exceptionally high rate this few months. The meal expenses and utilities has went up too. Going to pay rental soon as I move out from my current place from 22 June 2008. They are sure to be high. My pay increment this year is not even able to cover the increase in GST later this year. The worry is about paying the rent.
Not enough income? The solution is to further my studies and get that bachelor degree to cross the salary mark. This would put me onto a better career advancement scale than a poly graduate. However, the contradiction is to pre-pay a sum of $$ for the course fees first before this happens. Sending the cheque for application this week. Meanwhile my graduation project for mass communication advance diploma shall begin it's 1st meeting next week. Yet to receive any notification yet. Got to call them again. Haiz. Really disappointed with MDIS administration. Sux~!
Looking ahead, I am certainly stirred and felt unrest by the upcoming uncertainties. Sometimes I feel that it might have been easier if I just choose to walk out of them, and to be on my own. It is not about me not willing or not to stay and help them solve the problems. It is about them not willing to face the problems themselves and running away from them by pushing them to me, when I am in no position to do anything nor make decision for them. It is really difficult to put it through to them. We all have to face our problems. No one can forever take care of your problems for you. When you have to take it, you'll have to do it. It will not go away until you, not other people, deal with it.
For me, it is easier to deal with my own problems than other people's. This is because each decision that I make answers to only myself and I will accept whatever outcome or consequences possible. However, when other people's problem is pushed to me, I can only provide suggestions but I cannot make the decision nor to handle the problem directly. I feel that I am really in no position to make decisions for them nor handle the problem. If it turns out well, alright and they appreciates your help, but if it turns out worse, here comes the blame and souring of the relationship. So what happens if I were to handle the problem? Then what do they do? Waiting to thank me for solving the problem or to blame me on the failure?
Please for gracious sake, solve your own problems and never regret about it because you have taken on the challenge and faced it all by yourself. This is what matters, the act of courage, integrity and living spirit. Pushing it to others is just an act of shirking own responsibilities and letting your fate lie in others' hands. We should take control of our own lives and make our own moves. Therefore, for those who have not started to face your challenges, wake up now! Take charge of your own life~!
