荒谬 / 合理？

第一次参加一个追悼会。
更确切地说，是一个“某宗教”类型的追悼会。

他说道：“我们今天来这儿不是要哀悼、落泪，而是团聚在一起庆祝。说完几段经典名句后，我们会唱几首歌，然后才享用美食。”可能是我抱着太多的偏见，但我一直觉得这些人只是在以亲人的死亡来试图传教。与甲女士初次见面，她竟然在握手时说：“欢迎你来到我们的 x 追悼会。”我心里在想：喂，小姐。到底现在是什么情况啊？这可是我亲人的家耶，不是你的地盘！mygosh.

唔，当然我相信这宗教确实安抚了他的心，也给予他足够的力量与勇气过着“没有她”的日子。那个人所说的“庆祝”，或许只是一种激励人心的话吧，并无任何讽刺性的意思。据他所言，她只是在沉睡，已经归到某神的身旁了。他甚至望着天花板说她已经在天堂过着美好生活了。哈，有时真的无法相信这种事，但有时却又希望真的是这样。毕竟，我们都是期望好的事情发生在我们亲人的身上，不管是还活着或已往生。

没想到这么快就一周年了。时间的流逝似乎没能减少他心里的痛失感。每当提起姑婆或关于她的事，他脸上总是显露痛彻心扉的表情。

眉头深锁、双眼紧闭、嘴角下垂、呼吸急促。

我能做的也只是慰问、紧握他的手、真诚地给他一个拥抱……



 

放假·看戏

“其实很多时候，我们都被心动骗了。我们以为，我们爱那个人。但其实，我们爱上的，很多时候，都是新鲜感制造的怦然，而不是那个人。等到三个月过去了，当你看腻了这个人的脸，习惯了他的亲吻、拥抱，他就会变成只剩下糖水的可乐，再也不能给我们怦然了。于是，我们就继续寻找 —— 下一罐可乐。”

情为何物？情有解乎？

给是福

最近在一周半内竟然花了几百元。虽然心有点痛，但同时也觉得暖洋洋的哈。请了哥哥们与未来大嫂午餐、晚餐。突然也有烹饪的冲动，于是买了一些新鲜番茄、香菇，为他们准备早餐~

周六到三叔家庆祝母亲节，买了“红心”冰淇淋蛋糕与榴莲卜请大家吃。三审还问：“哇，这么多‘玲玲珑珑’的东西啊？还有吗？” 面对较精打细算的人，我也不知为何除了送她她托付我买的东西，我还额外给她从台湾买回来的类似物品。哈哈，我想，人都喜欢这种小小的惊喜吧。收礼物的人也好，送礼物的人也好，我们都爱surprise。

能给是福，对我来说：
1）能给，代表着我们自己生活还可以，所以才有能力给予别人多余的‘快乐’。
2）能给，代表着我们慢慢地在长大了，懂得“世界不只是围绕着自己”的道理。
3）能给，代表我们即使生活在复杂的世界，我们心中仍然有爱。

人就是那么的可爱。:)

The most important thing about any gift is not what it is but who it came from and the intentions behind it.

Year3 Sem2 fin.

哇……时间真的过得真快。一天、一周、一月、一年，更变千年如走马。
虽然今天考完试了，但对筹备这个科目的“努力”感到落寞、失望。或许我太看轻这份试卷了。Oh wells, what's done cannot be undone. 下个学期再冲刺！

今天到JEM买朋友的礼物（kino 书券），顺便散散步，与好友买了衣服，呜呼！好久没买衣服啦~ weeeeeeee~

First of all, sorry Angie! I really thought my pet pet plant can grow up healthily.. 谁知道 -.-" haha but really appreciate your 心意！Anyway, happened to hang around CQ The Central just now and walked into "Shinnpark" to view their novelties (as usual lol). Sidenote: Surprisingly, all the customers were males except YC lol. 男性越来越追求艺术美？哈哈 yay~

Ok, so i learned about this dragonfruit / radiation / cacti hybrid plant and i thought: It will make a great decorative on my study desk by bringing some life to it haha. True enough, i am already stealing glances at it while typing this sentence HAHA. So now it's taken over pet pet's place, but don't worry, the cutesy 猪猪 is still there. 它们互相衬托、相辅相成，果然是绝配！嘿嘿。Wishing that my new greenie will grow healthily (supposedly does not need sunlight) and absorb all the unhealthy radiation away~

Radiation Plant ($19.90)

一定要健康成长哦~
大家晚安~ ^^

人生无常。

"The Book Thief" - I must say, a one-of-a-kind, superb movie of the year. Every scene is like a photo that contains new but yet, familiar memories. Characters are portrayed effectively via the interactions, backgrounds, expressions etc.

 

There was a line, "No man lives forever." This really struck me. Yes, it seems lame and very in-your-face, but do we really understand the undertones of the sentence? We can see it as a motivational phrase, something which spurs us on to do what we have never tried before. We can see it as a reminder, to tell ourselves that others face much worse situations than us, so why are we complaining so much like a spoilt brat? We can also see it as a mantra which we can live by: Life's short, live it.

 

Ah, enough blabbering from me. One of my favourite characters: Rudy Steiner (Nico Liersch). His love for Liesel is literally endless. Even till his last breath (sobsss), his humor, kindness and effervescent smile lingers on, while his heart still pines for her. I was hoping for a fairytale ending for both of them, but... Sigh... :'(

人生到处知何似？
应似飞鸿踏雪泥；
泥上偶然留指爪，
鸿飞那复计东西！

Taxi Conversations

Sometimes, i enjoy taking the taxi because u never know what kind of driver u'd get. Gentle? Talkative? Vulgar? Knowledgable? Quiet? It's kinda like a pandora's box, where u hope the odds are always in your favor lol.

Just now, this driver (Uncle Koh S C) was filling my knowledge and happy meter to the brim lol! We chatted like old friends or like old uncles at the kopitiam haha.

1. How he preferred to avoid rws and sentosa because of speed cameras etc.

2. His friend working as a lowly-paid ambulance driver but much happier as compared to being a taxi driver in the past.

(And which 'race' seem to be preferred for ambulance drivers) ok im not sure how true is this so don't flame me pls lol.

3. “现在的人太过依赖科技，脑都生锈了！” and also, him questioning his japanese passenger, "How accurate is your traffic jam app. Do you really believe it?" The passenger admitted that glitches often happened lol.

4. How he keeps a healthy lifestyle: Run at least once a week, eat soupy food instead of oily ones (esp late nights), eat moderate amounts of meat, eat the right vegetables that aids digestion. Funny incident where his friend recognised him (“我还是一样啦，只是皮肤皱皱。”) but he failed to recognise the friend because.. “他不是胖，他是肥！我听他的声音才认得出。” HAHAH!

5. How he would before bathing, recall from the first passenger, the things that they said etc. (Uncle Koh said it is to train his mind so that it doesn't degenerate)

6. How he would only get the money i paid via the NETS machine on Tuesday because it's the wkends. And how the rental is collected in cash only.

We still chatted for awhile after i paid haha. In the end, i just said to him, "Thank you! 辛苦你了！good night~ yup, happy new year to you too!"

致那些夜班的工作者：请注意安全，一定要快快乐乐、平平安安地回家去哦～
