Age will really change a person perception. Lyrics that don't make any sense at all to you when you are young suddenly seems so well written. I think as one ages, one begin to really start understanding the meaning of life.
I used to think that songs written by 李宗盛 was a bit too Chinese for my liking. Now as I begin to start listening back the songs that were written by him, I can't help but be amazed on how well his lyrics are written.
Love had and will always play a huge part in our life. Like it or not. Human beings were never created to be a single entity. Not matter how much you think that you will be better off alone or with a pet, nothing can replace the assurance and joy a human companion can bring to you.
It's like a drug. Giving you a high that others can't give you. As all drugs come, there will be beneficial and malignant drugs. Yet, one can't determine the nature of the drug until you had really tried it.
Friends might just be the best pharmacist for you. For one can never really understand nor know what one really want. To be honest, till now I am always unstuck by this drug. Friends who had taken the beneficial drug make me want to have that feeling. Yet for every beneficial form of drug out there, I can see numerous malignant ones that are ruining the life of my friends.
For friends of mine who are still under the influence of this malignant drug, I hope that you will get over the effects soon. Pain it might be but I am sure you will be better off without it.
爱情究竟是精神鸦片
还是世纪末的无聊消遣
开始总是分分钟都妙不可言
谁都以为热情它永不会减
除了激情褪去后的那一点点倦
也许像谁说过的贪得无厌
活该应了谁说过的不知检点
总之那几年感性赢了理性的那一面
有人问我你究竟是那里好
这麽多年我还忘不了
春风再美也比不上你的笑
没见过你的人不会明了
是鬼迷了心窍也好
是前世的因缘也好
然而这一切已不再重要
如果你能够重回我怀抱
是命运的安排也好
是你存心的捉弄也好
然而这一切也不再重要
我愿意随你到天涯海角
虽然岁月总是匆匆的催人老
虽然情爱总是让人烦恼
虽然未来如何不能知道
现在说再见会不会太早
啊多么痛的领悟你曾是我的全部
只是我回首来时路的每一步都走的好孤独
啊多么痛的领悟你曾是我的全部
只愿你挣脱情的枷锁爱的束缚
任意追逐别再为爱受苦

Just completed a small job today. The job scope include the upgrading of a Digital Video Recorder (CCTV System) and enabling it to be viewable from the web. What makes this job so special is the owner request to leave the old spoilt Digital Video Recorder as it is. His maid or maybe tenant had known it to be spoilt all this time and his intention is not to let anyone know that it is working well again.
This include installing the new DVR at an isolated location, using tape to mask up the led indicator lights and lastly to soften the noise of the built in fan.
I do not know if I should be glad or sad for him. Glad that he is well off, with a happy family and being able to contribute to the local economy by paying an obscene amount of money to my company for doing this job. At the same time sad that he have to resort to spying others in silence. Unable to trust those living under the same roof as him. Yes. He is well off in material wealth but is this everything?
The sad thing is that this is not the only customer that I had who are like him. Pin hole cameras, DVR which are able to pass off as a normal VCR and other strange requests. The richer they are, the funnier the requests.
I got to admit that I want to be like them sometime soon in the future. Being able to provide my family a life of comfort. But no way do I want to live in fear of people stealing from me or trying to cause harm to me.
Human possessions to me are stuff that come and go easy. If there are things that I want to guard and watch over of, that would be my family and friends. There are possessions that are worth fighting for. Not that one more zero in my bank.
Yes. There will always be fear that your maid who you don't even know well of doing harm to your children. The fear that they will bring strangers to your home when you are not around. But wouldn't telling them in advance of what not to do better than spying? Even if there is a need for surveillance, is there really a need to hide it up and hope to catch someone in action? That's to me just doesn't seem so right. But then again, who am I to judge others? All I wish for is that he is able to sleep well every night. Yes. The same activity that commoners like me had gotten used to.
I may not be rich in material but definitely not poor either in spirit. I got my family and my friends with me all the time. Yes. You who are reading. Be it a follower of my blog or someone who happened to just drop by. Be it a mere acquaintance or a friend who I had not contact in a long while. As long as we had met and influence each other, a friend you are to me. You are my most valuable possession.

Euro 2008. The reason for the lack of posting lately. The timetable for my body had taken a reverse during this period. I am sleeping when you guys are relaxing in front of the pc or tv. Wide awake when you guys are dreaming about me. Haha. That was a very bad joke.
Well, got to say that it had been quite a fascinating competition thus far. Not as much shock as the previous edition as most of the favourites got through to the quarter final. For those losers who vowed not to watch Euro 2008 due to England not being able to qualify for it, I think you guys don't know what you are missing out on. I think it is refreshing not to read all about the supposed "best team" in the world on The New Paper for a change. The teams that caught my eye thus far are Portugal, Croatia, Netherlands and Spain. In fact, these four teams are my tip for the semi final.
My personal favourite is definitely Netherlands follow by Portugal. I had always admired teams that play the game as it is supposed to be play. Attacking and trying to win the game instead of trying to bore the opposition into making a mistake and scoring a fluke or lucky goal. Teams like France, Italy and Greece come to mind. It is good riddance that France and Italy will likely be out after tonight as they are way too over hyped. These two teams are aging and it gave me great pleasure to see Netherlands giving them a good hiding. I had never really forgiven the Italy team of 2000 for denying Netherlands the final slot they so fully deserved. 2 missed penalties during regulation time and 2 more in the penalty shootout. It is poetic justice now if Netherlands were to send them out by losing to Romania. World Champions? Ha. Kiss my ass!!
My school term will begin in three weeks time. To be honest, the reality of me having to spend Tues and Thurs night at school for the future 3 months had not really sunk in yet. Here I am, still enjoying my leisure time reading, surfing the web and playing sports with all my friends. All these will have to take a back step when my school term starts. Well, no pain no gain. To be honest, I am looking forward to it as I really want to get that degree. The fact that I am working and paying for it all by myself makes me even more determined to get my hands on it.
Excuse me now as I try my very best to sleep so that I can wake up while you guys are dreaming about me . :)

Been real busy for the past week. Finally had my golf PC test on last Tues. I played horribly for the first 5 holes. To be honest, it was the worst of the whole gang. I think it might have been the nerves but my swing was totally gone. At the range, I would at the most require 5 or 6 swings and I can start to hit that sweet spot. Luckily things turned for the better for the last 4 holes. I was even able to par the last hole. It was a Par 3 and a good shot was needed to lift the ball over the huge drain(act as a water barrier) and land it at a nice spot where I can chip for Par or maybe for a putt. I opted for the chip in the end and manage to putt it for Par. The feeling was indescribable. As all S'poreans will say, SHIOK! ;)
The Flu (yes, I got it again) knocked me out for most of the week till today when I finally have the time to go and see a doctor. Best part is the medication really work and I am feeling really fresh now. Summary of the story is make time to rest and see a doctor no matter how busy you are. I felt that working while I am sick kinda hinder my efficiency as I am mostly coughing instead of using my mind to think and plan for my work. Not to say the germs that I am spreading. Just glad that none of my colleagues got my virus. Coughing till you wake up in the middle of the night is really an annoying experience.
I am starting my part time studies in July. Yup! Kinda anxious as the course facilitator had been driving home the point that it is not a course for the weak hearted and encourage us to go all the way for the degree. I think she used " Do not drop out" at least 5 times and more. For those who don't know, come July I will be a student of University of London. Majoring in Economics and Finance. Reason why I chose UOL instead of RMIT is the level of recognition for UOL in the area of business studies. It is ranked among the top 5 in UK and I think that alone was a key factor in me choosing it over the rest of the schools out there. Hey, if I am going to switch career at the grand old age of 30, I had better make sure that my qualifications are impressive enough for my potential employer. Wish me luck. Hope that I can handle both my career and studies well.
Planning for a short trip aboard before my course commences. I am hoping to be able to find time and most importantly MONEY (the study loan is quite a huge burden) to go. Destinations so far in the hat is Phuket. Got a strange feeling we will just end up with a one day trip to Sentosa. Ha. Cause when you are working, it's really hard to plan a period whereby everyone is free.
