 | Welcome | Jul 4, 2005 |
hey ya! feel free to drop a comment and keep in touch ya! muaCKsss! Bright Monday morning. Now I realise Monday can be this good when we don't have to work. Ok, I will try to appreciate Monday from now onwards.
Was checking one of my old email. Which I have saved a quote found from one of the piece from Shakespeare's work. Isn't it beautiful?
Original text of Sonnet 148
O me! what eyes hath love put in my head,
Which have no correspondence with true sight!
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled,
That censures falsely what they see aright?
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote,
What means the world to say it is not so?
If it be not, then love doth well denote
Love's eye is not so true as all men's: no,
How can it? O how can love's eye be true,
That is so vexed with watching and with tears?
No marvel then, though I mistake my view;
The sun itself sees not till heaven clears.
O cunning love! With tears thou keep'st me blind,
Lest eyes well seeing thy foul faults should find.
Modern Text of Sonnet 148
Oh, me! What kind of eyes has love put into my head
that I don't see anything accurately?
Or if my eyes do see correctly, what's happened to my
judgment to make me wrongly criticize what they see?
If the woman I love to look at is beautiful,
why does the rest of the world say she's not?
If she's not, then a person in love doesn't see as accurately as others.
No—how can a lover see right?
Oh, how can a lover's eye work properly when it's so distressed
by staying awake and crying?
It's no wonder then that I'm wrong about what I see;
the sun itself doesn't see anything until the sky is clear.
Oh, ingenious love, you keep me blind with tears so
I won't discover my lover's foul faults,
as I would if my eyes worked properly.
*taken from http://nfs.sparknotes.com/sonnets/sonnet_148.html  Singapore friends, if you like Japanese food, have you tried Okinawan food before? If you have heard of Okinawa, it is one of the islands located in the south of Japan, with slight culture and weather difference comparing to the well heard of famous -breezy Japan. As fas as I know, due to the weather difference, Okinawan people has darker shade of skin color, of course with a healthy glow! And just last night, I have discovered the taste of Okinawa. Went to NIRAI KANAI on the forth floor of Tang's Shopping Centre at the end of the stretch of Orchard road, thanks to Asami chan and hubby, who had brought us to this wonderful restaurant. Ambience was great, most suitable for friends and family or any small gathering. gives warm feeling especially with their kind crew service. I'm sure this restaurant succesfully touched many hearts of Japanese expatriates in Singapore. I'm also sure anyone would agree with me if you have seen for yourself. Okinawa food is special as they have uniqueness in taste which is not found in any other Japanese restaurant you've been before. It is almost like home cooked food. healthy and very Chinese-like. Well, at least to me it is. The special fruit of Okinawa brought us to Calamansi mixed drinks. And if you like beer to go with your dinner/ gathering, choose Orion beer, it's the Okinawan's favourite. Gives you the Okinawa feel. Like "I'm in Okinawa now, pal! " (according to what I understand from Asami chan and hubby)The next best I like from the dishes we had last night was the very "Tong Po meat" alike dish. Which believed to have braised long enough to come out with the juicy taste of pork. Not forgetting the preferred dish by the local Okinawans, -the bittergourd dish, cooked with egg and Japanese tofu. It's so delicious that I can still have the taste in my tongue when I try to recall of its inviting aroma. We finally done with our dinner with the dessert of Okinawa, the sweet potato-like taste of ice cream.Guess what, surprisingly price is range of SGD3.80 to SGD30.00.Sorry for there was no pictures taken last night. But I will go there again. Bring you the pictures then!
Please try to visit the link I've found for you!

Wait, have you already had any idea of what to have for dinner tonight?
 It was last month when the handsome guy I met back during Penang days who had came by and drop his friends a visit ;) This guy is just... too honest. sigh... x_x
tell a lie to make someone happy today. (But don't make them notice you of course) "dead cat*"? (.. it's a direct translation from cantonese la)
It was a happy trip I thought in the beginning, wanting to show the interesting culture in Malaysia to some of my foreign friends last Saturday in Johor Bahru (thereafter to be identified as JB)
Until, it was getting dark, we decided to take a taxi and return to Singapore. After some negotiations been carried out in Bahasa Melayu, the driver decided to take us to City Lounge near KOTARAYA, at an affordable rate without going with the metre. The price was ok, and the destination was pre agreed. But he took us to LARKIN instead.
Wait, this is only the beginning. Quite alright, at mood spoiler level.
"Why you take us here? WE wanted to go KOTARAYA!"
He said, "You said here? I take you here la" (I was angry)
He even demanded for additional charges if I still insist going to the original agreed destination. Cut it short, that's it. We paid and got off.
Next it was from Larkin that we hired for a taxi for 3 of us to go Singapore.
We agreed at a more expensive rate since the fuel price has increased, putting aside taxi drivers may not be using petrol but gas instead. As we all know, taking taxis from Malaysia to Singapore, fare is definitely in RM and vice versa to those taking taxi from Singapore to Malaysia.
After some just general conversations in the car, the driver get to know that he was actually driving 2 foreigners and one working Malaysian. I didn't realize about it since he was "nice".
It was until we got to our destination, when a "RM" pulled out, he "looked" sooo full of surprise. I realize he has a great talent at that point of time. That's the potential to be a "k leh fer"(be in part of the cast in a movie, usually those without dialogue)
He argued with us that the price agreed should be in Singapore dollar!
Such a jerk! Dann, ruin my whole day!
I kept apologizing to my friends of that incident, that I did not negotiate better in first place! Just to save my country's name because of these stinky people, call themselves Muslims !!
SHAME ON MALAYsiAN TAXI Drivers!
other friends told me to complain the matter or just bring it up to the taxi driver association or so etc.
yes, I had a feeling of "wanted to". But inside me, I thought, save it. since JB is under BN! BAKA !
*usually means something unreal, a false statement. swallowing a dead cat means having to forcefully admit doing or saying something which not been done or said due to some unforeseen circumtances. most of the time during an unwilling condition but being succesfully forced to doing so.
and im still angry about it. (#*(&70*)@(()*KKNU(*&)(*)_+*xxx! Dont make me see your face on the road again in the next time. I will draw you a nice logo in your face!

- Negative after watching "P.S I love you"
I think I have found my favourite author now.
I have read "A Place called here " by the same author Cecelia Adhern too.
Like A Star
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands,
Oh.. I do love you,
Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
You've got this look i can't describe,
You make me feel like I'm alive,
When everything else is a fade,
Without a doubt you're on my side,
Heaven has been away too long,
Can't find the words to write this song,
Oh.,..
Your love,
Still i wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
I have come to understand,
The way it is,
It's not a secret anymore,
'cause we've been through that before,
From tonight I know that you're the only one,
I've been confused and in the dark,
Now I understand,
I wonder why it is,
I don't argue like this,
With anyone but you,
I wonder why it is,
I wont let my guard down,
For anyone but you
We do it all the time,
Blowing out my mind,
Just like a star across my sky,
Just like an angel off the page,
You have appeared to my life,
Feel like I'll never be the same,
Just like a song in my heart,
Just like oil on my hands
"no matter how hard you try to grip it in your hands, it slips away"
Here you go, stand out please:
Hum Zhin Beng, Yao Zha Kwai, Yong Tao Fu, Chu Tao Mak, Kek Ling Kwai, and Zheng Bak Chi. Oh ya, I have forgotten, Hum Kah Leng, is she your cousin Hum Zhin Beng?
angel says:
often find myself stucked in a situation doing something i shouldn't do. often, something can really lit me up. something brightens me.
devil says:
being happy for yourself is not a big deal, it's yours, you can decide on your own.
he says:
why ask so many questions?
I say:
life is a LIVE drama, I am the director, I want a good drama.
Watch:
1. Mr Magorium's wonder emporium
2. The Golden Compass - watched
3. Water horse
4. Narnia 2
5. The Warlords
6. I am Legend
7. Nanking
8. National Treasure 2
Listen:
1. It's always you- Sophie
2. If you're gone- Matchbox20
3. You won't be mine- Matchbox20
This is insane, why make me meet so many different persons before I get really stable on handling matters?I don't want to say this anymore. From now on, I don't want to know more people. I get tired trying to figure out, whether I am doing something right or wrong, just for the sake of taking care of others' feeling!Why why make me weak? why make me taking care of others' feeling but hurting myself in the end? I don't want to follow rules. Don't make me follow ALL the rules.I want you to get away from my head now. NOWNow, let me tell you what I want for christmas.I want a gift that can make me change my own mind that doggies' life cycle is shorter than human being.Because I want to have my own pet dog, and I wan him to be with me until the end.
I love the year end, it means coming new year, new hopes, shopping, Christmas, giving, holidays, bonus pay, Santa, but (rainy days), flu virus, price increase, no $, no plans,...
Good and bad, everything comes with pros and cons.
but I really like Christmas,. I love Christmas. But I mean Christmas with someone you love and care about.
Christmas makes me think of our house to house Christmas carolling at home during the old times, when grandma was around. I saw santa. Different santa each year. some tall and big sized, some skinny and weak..
I am missing the cat at our house that died of being choked by a big piece of meat he had, he thought it was gonna be a great meal for him. I miss him so much.
The other pet dogs we had, that died because of sickness.
My sister back at home, still the same old her. No improvement.
I'll be one year older soon after this. and the next, and the coming,.. and so on.
Guess I'll be doing the same next year. but just don't know why, I still get excited each year with these very Christmas atmosphere around me, even without the "snow" from what I see from TV (only), I feel myself. The child-like me.. I'm contented. know what it means? It means life, So wonderful.
This year, I learned a few lessons about being a person. In a closed context, I mean, being a good person. I learned not to be too helpful, learned not to be a good listener, but instead better to be a good hearer. I learned to be focus, I learned to be not too conscious. I learned to make choices of my own, I learned human's nature, that already pre-planned by God.
Greed, selfishness and pride.
I learned that time is not enough, like money never do. but I also learned self fulfilling is most important. I learned about emotional q, I learned not to be stupid.
However, there is one most important thing that I have learned. That, all these, are not easy to learn. takes time.
but again I'm glad that at least I have learned, there are people out there that never learn.
See how I'm trying to tell you looking at things from different perception?
but don't practise too much, you'll get lost easily. just make things simple.
aha, that's another detail not to be missed.
Wish all of you best of luck, healthy always in this season of giving and coming new year! This is about the last post, I was planning to post something that night, something about something happened. :P
but I couldn't find my own blog page that night!
I typed "livelivelyme.blogspot.com" but the page wasn't found.
I tried to post something so that perhaps it can be "activated", .. silly tho. But I really thought my page need to be activated because I rarely even go to my own blog nowadays :(
after some frustrations and scoldings to my own blog, I finally tried to type in http://
follow by livelivelyme.. and then ... Huh~ tada. there, it's still here. My silly blog.
It's still here, I'm still here. My blog is still on, all because it is FOC,
anyway I have forgotten what I was supposed to blog that night.

Very common among us, we procrastinate.
, we only start to worry about our health after the body check up results are out.
, we only start to plan when our $ almost finish,
, we only think of getting an insurance plan after the last saved accident.
, we only start to miss people we love after they have left us. (that's why Michael Angelo has become so well known)
, we only .....
16 September 2007, everybody looked flashy for Lipeng's day.  I have many friends who was named by the name of "Li Peng" by their family. This name is so common, if you know err... well, one of these Li Peng(s), who is also a very good friend of mine, is a very ordinary girl too. But she is too ordinary that makes her so unique. I guess that's how they came out the word "extra ordinary", I like her, I don't know if she likes me, because I know, my character can sometimes be VERY annoying. haha. I pissed her off many times. why, because of my quick tempered character. Just wondering why she can stand me like that. and forgiven me each time. God has created her to have a heart full of patience.
Look, God loves me. He make me met Lipeng. Being brought up in a middle class family, just like the rest of us in our group of friends, Li peng is the eldest in the family. The other thing I like being with her is, about her simple expectations, unlike me, who always look for perfection, and feel for perfection. Even though she could be demanding at times but she never really mean so much and always go for the best she can. i think that's what makes her a happy girl. But sometimes I really hate her. because she puts her family first, first, FIRST. She sacrifices herself for the family. everything she does, she thinks of the family first. I want to see her getting something better for herself! God, can you make Lipeng's life better? auntie is not around anymore, uncle is sick. Li Peng is too tired already.
remember there was once me and my ex had just broke off and I fell into pieces. I was sick because I was weak, due to malnutrition. Li Peng and I were roommate and colleague right after our graduation for our real first job. She took good care of me. oh ya, I remember Wei was there too. He drove me to the clinic. I couldnt sit properly that time, hahaa. She fed me medicine. and I made it recovered before having the need to be admitted. Li Peng always has a clear mind ready for any situation she might have to face. I don't know how she do that. She always gives good frank advices without fail, but sometimes with the fear of things that might hurt me, she will keep to herself, and I know it. She knows I am too stubborn.
Li peng has a pair of big eyes that comes with long eye lashes, which is something uncommon, rarely seen among Asian-Chinese. I think that is what attracted Wei, her husband, they just gone through the chinese wedding ceremony last week on 16th Sept 2oo7. Remember there was one wedding ceremony my late grandma(grandma I miss you) took to attend many years back, I saw the bride burst into tears, and ruined her make up. made her ugly. yucks, isn't it the bride supposed to look pretty today? I thought. Well I was just a kid, I didnt really know why she cried. Wasnt it supposed to be the happiest moment in her life? Only later I learned that some people may cry when they are far too happy over something, some matter. and people who smiles alot, laughs alot is not really mean they are happy. Complicated? I always thought it will be a fun thing to do, accompanying a girl friend on her wedding day. We all waited for that day and was thinking of it since our school days about "who's going to be the first to get married among us?" Pat was first to get married back then, I werent there, but the news broke in and I remember Lipeng and I was shocked over the news on the day we sat for our Maths test of the Form sixth. But we laughed because Pat was the one who yelled, "that definitely would not be me to be first" hhaahaa... When June got married, I wasnt able to attend too. Where was I?? ... errr... oh ya. no Passport!
But on the day of Lipeng and Kamwei's wedding, guess what, I was crying. i thought I shouldnt!! I had the kind of feeling for her that she has to sacrifice her family this time. the family she has been sacrificing for, this time I have to use the word the other way round. she's sacrificing her family. You know how bad can that be for her? She has to make this decision. Which I think, to her, this is cruel. But Wehhh, she still able to take care of her family, what was I thinking about?!! I hold it back, successfully. I only managed to accept her marriage after a few days later. I realized that all these while I have been rejecting myself from growing up. nah, I'm still young!! I'm only aging.
See, Li Peng's wedding had taught that aging and being young are in deed two different things!
Just that now, no more those sisters hang out like what we used to have, without boy friends or husbands. no more sisters catching up like the past, during our school days, sixth form, Uni campus life, first job. I'm really glad for her that she finally found her Mr right =) Wei is lucky to have Lipeng as his wife. and Wei, I'm warning you, better behave and treat Lipeng good. Lipeng my dearest friend of all time, please be healthy and happy always, I will always be there for you. muacks. I just miss you too much.
Lots of love
Looking back, I'm finally able to describe my previous job as a "marathon" job. It's finally over now. I am safe. Thank GOD. | Flickr | Sep 7, '07 10:51 AM

This is a test post from  , a fancy photo sharing thing.
As a kid, I didn't know what was it all about when people came to ask, where's your papa? mama? When during that time, I was not being told that I actually had a mother and a father, what I know was, I have my grandfather and grandmother, my cousins and other uncles and aunties(my mum's siblings).
I liked singing along with those songs I heard on the radio that time, and so they said, oh, she's going to be a singer. she sings well..
Then it was the olympic games on the tv and moved around like the gymnast. and there goes; oh, she's talented in gymnastics.
then I got bright results in my kindergarten, and there goes,; this girl is going to be a lawyer!
I danced well during the kindergarten graduation, they said I will become a great dancer.
I looked good on photos because I was fair, so they said I will become a model.
bla bla....
even as a kid I already know what it means by grabbing attention.
hahaa
That makes me think silly when the malaysian guy Wee, who was trying to be caught by composing songs that seem to meant critisizing the multicultural country of his own and by only saving his own dialect.
By reading the lyrics of his songs, in his self made MVs, I myself think that it was rather funny and inmature than it supposed to be sounded serious to a certain degree that he should get sued or being taking seriously as a controversial topic with the country. IF this person trying get famous by becoming any of the lyrics writer, song writer or composer, I suggest he will never touch the lyrics part.
Those who appreciates art, should know that lyrics or whatever poem should have a main title to be related with, and not in a format which brings no where to the connection of each para or the meaning of the song in a whole context. This guy has unintentionally provoked the country because he has no idea of what he was talking about but only whining, trying to grab people's attention of how "talented" he is by inserting whatever random complaints which came across to his mind during his lonely time in Taiwan, all into his so called piece of art work. Probaly because he cant think of any other better things to write.
I mean I admit he's talented but he's not there yet.
just don't tell me he's goin to join or getting involve into the politics.
No please and thank you. I love my country too. write something else. or just dont write.
I didnt have time to write about this seriously but I was angry after viewing all of his MVs.
I learned my own lesson at the same time about
I don't know what I don't know, but I will only know until I got hit or even by pre advices, good to learn from faults, better to be precautious all the time.
What I have spent during my "down time"
- California fitness
- Piano lesson for beginner
- new dresses and outfits
- TCM consultation and medication
- hospital / specialist consultation and medication
- expensive meals
- spa
- facial sessions
- 2 hair cuts in a week
- foot reflextology
- body massages
- Beyond beauty packages
What I have got/ gained during my "down time"
- continuous pestering from my room mate that I am having a depression
- wrinkles
- weight
- fat
- inches
- experience
- a new job with lower pay
What I have lose after my "down time"
- money
- time
- youth
In short, I'm broke.
