예상치 못한 것들을 예상하라!

Expect the unexpected! 예상치 못한 것들을 예상하라!

A friend and I were at Raffles Place for lunch and from far, we saw 3 giraffes let loose! Initially we thought they were real but as we walked nearer, they were actually humans walking on stilts.



Impressive! What a way to promote their play during the Singapore Arts Festival. Too bad I didn't catch the name of the play... Oh well...

축하하는 의미를 아버지하세요!

Met an old friend this evening for dinner. Ever since Shawn's wedding in 2002, we haven't met since then. 6 years! Recently, he found me on facebook, that's how we started getting back in touch again.

Our friendship has gone a long way since we first met in NTU. Back then, he was taking a Marketing module as an elective and we were often grouped together for project work and discussions. The good old days...

Shawn still has his good sense of humor and is going to be a father next month.

Congratulations in advance and may your first born baby girl brings you and your wife loads of joy and blessings!

토기 한국 음식점

My I2 classmates had a mini gathering yesterday. We were supposed to treat 민 선생님 dinner yesterday to extend our appreciation for the past semester. Unfortunately, her car tyre tore and was unable to join us. Anyhow, we enjoyed ourselves, feasting on yummy Korean food.


Crowded 토기 Restaurant! Even though we have made a reservation, there were no seats!


반찬 to the rescue! I was so so hungry!!! By the time we ate, it was around 8 plus?


Davina and John, who was so serious-looking....


While waiting for our chopsticks to arrive, it's photo time! Yes... the 반찬 came without the utensils.

For those who wish to give this restaurant a try, it's located at 11 Mosque Street, just opposite CTC Travel Agency in Chinatown area.

헤이젤 안녕...

Today, unfortunately, is a very dear colleague's last day. I remembered she's the first to be seated beside my seat on the 9th floor. Though it was just a short time frame, we hit off pretty well. Her infectious laughter and wonderful friendship washed away the loneliness I felt within the company.

Hazel, I have been blessed richly by knowing you. It's been a real joy knowing you even if it's just a short period of half year. It's because of you, I got to know more wonderful colleagues in the company.

May you find abundance and contentment in your next career path! Please keep in touch ya?

다시 만날 때까지 안녕!


Hazel and I...


Debbie, Hazel, me and Joanne

진의 마지막 수업

It was Jean's last lesson with our Advanced I class. Next Monday, she will be heading to Seoul for a 3-month course in Kyung Hee University. That brings back wonderful memories of March 2006 (^__^)

The other day, I was speaking to a friend who was in the same immersion programme in Kyung Hee. We were full of envy for those fresh graduates who were able to take time off for studies. Somehow we did wish that the clock would turn back to the time when we had just finished our uni studies. But then again, we also did agree that we wouldn't want to exchange our working experience for that and to start slogging all over again in the working world. Humans... we are contradicting, aren't we?

For this semester, I have been missing several classes. Health hasn't been that great these few months, especially when I was on antibiotics, I get hit by flu and fever bugs easily. After this semester, I will be taking a break from Korean classes in SKS. Looking back, I have been studying non-stop for almost a year? A short break and then after to decide what I should do? Perhaps take up private lessons?


Our teacher, 전지현 선생님 (3rd from right) specially bought cakes and held a mini farewell for Jean (2nd from right) as it's her last lesson with us. Picture is taken by Jean's camera ^^

너 때문에 다친 거야...

此刻 心情很亂...
以為把心抽出來後 就可以永不回頭
但這應該算是最艱難的吧?

今早給他的電話吵醒 很意外 應為我們從不曾在有陽光的早晨見面
決定和他再次碰面 希望他可以尊重我的決定

謝謝你... 再次撩亂我的思緒
我的平靜世界...

홀로 있으니...

沒有他的日子 我正在適應習慣中
回想起來 他和我在一起的日子也沒那麼多?
这兩個星期 我漸漸找回方向感
雖然對工作 還是心灰意冷
但我过得脚踏实地、没有负担
也開始放得開…

真可笑
當我決定要離開
他卻不肯放手!
遊戲的規則嗎? 還是遊戲對他來說還沒結束…

韋禮安 【還是一樣】

Seems like 韋禮安 has written a new song for 劉若英...
The song【還是一樣】is stored in her latest album 我很好.

作詞/作曲:韋禮安

越過高山 越過河流 越過你厚實的肩膀 只有足跡留下
沒有聲張 沒有掙扎 沒有我難過的假象 只有多一道傷

晴天失散了誰的 依偎 只剩倔強的雨水
若無其事的後悔 總是 在最後 抓住眼淚

還是一樣 劃開舊傷 以為自己 足夠堅強
還是一樣 逃離現場 不願面對 重複的過往 
結局還是一樣

看過碎浪 看過夕陽 看過被風化的山牆 永久從未留下
一樣天真 一樣魯莽 一樣又敞開了心房 似乎還不夠傻

晴天失散了誰的 依偎 只剩倔強的雨水
若無其事的後悔 總是 在最後 抓住眼淚

還是一樣 劃開舊傷 以為自己 足夠堅強
還是一樣 逃離現場 不願面對 重複的過往 
結局還是一樣

還是一樣 劃開舊傷 以為早已 不再悲傷
還是一樣 逃離現場 不願面對 重複的過往 
結局還是一樣

05.还是一样.mp3

Here's 韋禮安 version... he sang it for the 杜鵑花節 in his school (I think...) A bit soft cos of the recording. Still like his version better ^^

웨딩 런치


I just got back from a college friend's wedding lunch which was held at ShangriLa. It was a very simple garden-themed lunch, nothing fanciful, no wedding video; just 12 tables of close family, relatives and friends.

I was seated at a table with her old neighbours, some working colleagues and another of her uni friend; quite enjoyable though... Initially I thought it will be a difficult 3-hour event but I'm glad it wasn't.

Congratulations Winnie on your blessed wedding day! 결혼 축하해!

또 아팠다...

我又生病了...
不知為何最近容易生病? 身体越来越不好了
這次比較嚴重, 還得等診斷報導出來
真有點擔心

거짓말...

最近 總愛聽悲傷情歌
歌詞真可以帶動情緒...



張信哲 【說謊】

這次我又擔心到天亮  現在妳靠在誰身
旁窗外透進來的光  照得心發慌
熬過了失眠的晚上

每次妳的理由都一樣  其實我都懂只是不講
把自己弄得很忙  其實是假裝
看妳這次要怎麼收場

我說我會是妳可以依靠的肩膀  而妳卻站在離我最遠的地方
我愛妳的心一樣  總是選擇原諒
妳有多少藉口  除了說謊

如果我不是妳可以停靠的地方  我們就到此為止不必再勉強
現在開始不一樣  像路人經過身旁  
妳也不必裝模作樣


我會遺忘  別再說謊

양의 다리

Angmoh customer: Can I order a plate of leg of lamb please...
Student waitress: Sure, would you like the left or right leg?
(Waitress was told to ask this question if a customer wished to order this from the menu.)
Angmoh customer: Right leg?!

... ...

Above incident happened to my ex-student... I laughed till tears dwelled in my eyes when she shared with me this story over dinner. My ex twin students are currently waitressing in an Irish cafe-pub at East Coast park and obviously since they are new, they are badly tekaned by the staff.

Anyway I missed their presence a lot. Happy belated birthday twins!
Let's catch up for dinner again!

이제 됐어...


5月的第一天
我決定了~
我終於鼓起勇氣
把你的手機號碼, 簡訊與MSN刪除
這是忘記你的最快方法

我要把我對你的愛和回憶 從我內心漸漸沖淡
慢慢學會微笑, 學會振作, 學會堅強…
還有
學習再次信任

이제 됐어
난 마음이 다 끝났어
