一直想“借这个题发挥”，却一直没动笔。
看了友人在 FB 分享的这个短片，加上最近发生的一些事，又有了“借题发挥”的冲动。
当然，我从来没有怀疑过手机的好处。科技的发达，使得手机不再单纯只是用来打电话的工具，它也是游戏机，也是记事本，还是个掌上电脑。不过也因为如此，都市人的手机是“寸步不离”身。
记得当我还在念 JC 时，我那 infamous 的校长 Belinda Charles 曾在早会时提醒我们：当我们和其他同学在食堂用餐还是闲聊时，不要听随身听，那是非常没有礼貌的行为。校长的这番话我至今都印象深刻。
其实玩手机也是一样的。如果你一个人在搭乘公共交通工具时，为了打发时间而玩手机，那是可以理解的。如果你身旁有亲人朋友，你却猛玩而无视对方的感受，那同样是没有礼貌的。我也常常提醒自己，要顾及他人的感受。在家里，我尽量不把手机带在身旁。其实，我们真的没那么忙，不需要时时刻刻都握住手机。

如果两人一个星期只见一次面，有见不见无所谓，那你们真的相爱吗？
开始交往时，天天见面都不言烦。后来，感情稳定后，我和 R 并不是每天见面。生活中，常常要我忙我的，他忙他的。不过，后来有个男性朋友对我说，如果有见不见都无所谓，那你们真的相爱吗？有没有这个男友，也应该无所谓吧。当时的我不以为然，我回应到：“真正相爱，不必天天见面。” 我还天真的自以为自己说的才是真理。
很多时候，忙并不是借口。是因为你觉得不重要，所以才连一点时间都挪不出来。也许，这段感情真的没有那么重要。要不然，你可以少应酬一点，少去几次 Happy Hour, 少打几次电动，难道这些都比维持一段感情，还是维持一个家来的重要？如果连筹备婚礼、布置新家还是带小孩都没时间，你可能要重新面对自己，问问自己你们相爱吗？
p/s: X，所以当初我鼓励你到他身边去。远距离的恋爱，真的有差。你们俩已经在一起那么久了，如果是距离是造成你门分开的原因，那就太可惜了。我希望你到了那里会有新的生活和新的领悟。

Hands up those that are still borrowing books from the library.
While most people would have a deep impression on the Beethoven's love letter in Sex & the City Movie, I remembered something else from that scene. Big told Carrie that she might be the only person that he knows that is still going to the library and Carrie replied that she loves the smell of the books.
I'm one of those still visiting the library now. Not that I like the smell of those library books. One reason could be a habit from young. When I was young, my mum used to bring me to library and I would spend the afternoon flipping through the books, and 8 books limited by the library were definitely not enough for me! Haha...
Other than that, I seldom read a book for a 2nd time cos there's so many books that I yet to read! Also, some books might not be worth buying. But you won't know until you read it. So borrowing from the library seems more economical.
I just found out recently the last reason why I like to go library. It could be because there's a dateline for me to finish the book. I realised that I tend to take longer to finish a book when there's no dateline. So not discipline? Maybe it's just human natural.

我觉得我的一些坏习惯已慢慢变成一种病……
1. 剩饭
妹妹常常对我这个陋习施与严厉的眼神。我常会吃到最后一口，就饱了，真神奇！有尝试拿少一点，还是会剩下一口就饱了。应该不是量的问题，而是心理的问题。不过我就是吃不下，逼也没用。不是说，有什么籍贯的人吃饭都要留一口吗？为了是“有余”，好兆头啊。（我知道那是歪理，哈哈！）
2. 迟到
就算早起，就算早准备好，还是会迟到。我不是那种会迟个半点钟的人，而是惯性的 5-10 分钟。试过许多方法，至今还未能“对症下药”。有人说迟到好过不到，我是因为留恋家庭的温暖才出不了门的。（又在自圆其说？！）
3. FB-ing
很难想象，自己曾经很排斥 FB。结果有了account 后，现在只要眼前有电脑，就不能不 sign-in。没几分钟就 refresh 一次，看有什么最新 update 。所以告诉自己千万不要 start 一个 twitter account，不然电脑中毒会越来越深，没完没了。（别再怂恿我了！）

第一个是太有钱。
以为有两个臭钱，就很厉害，能砸死人。
炫耀自己的财富不说，还践踏别人来提高自己。
殊不知，不尊重他人 = 不尊重自己。
更糟的是当那“他人”是自己最亲的人的时候。
第二个是没有钱。
可能是生活的苦闷让他烟酒不离手，（那当然是借口。）也因此让他生活得更窘。
一方面，他不得不伸手向人要钱。
另一面，他却因此面子挂不住而自我防备很强，常常会一触即发
了不起的是：他总能摆出一幅问题不是出在他身上的样子。
这也让我有一些体会：
显然，这两个人都缺乏自信和修养。
=> 一个人的自信和修养跟他有没有钱是没有关系的。
他们没句好话，往往会大声说话（对不起，应该是大声喊话），是因为礼亏。
=> 他们天真的以为真理会站在说话比较大声的人那一边。
=> 如果声大还是撑不了场面，就会摆出他们长辈的姿态。
男人不能入错行，女人不能嫁错郎。
=> 我只能为他们背后的女人献上最真挚的祝福。

郑导演在《百万小学堂》说“男生要有风度”，让我感触良多。
其实，风度是要培养的：让位给女生、老人和小孩，帮女生提东西等等，学校还真应该考虑让孩子上风度班。新加坡的男人普遍都没有风度。记得我第一次坐 G 的车，他很自然的走过来帮我开车门，这种行为我以为只有在戏里才有，让我对这个男生“刮目相看”。不过 G 是少数啦。昨天在搭车时有个男人硬抢在我前面上车，超级没风度！

09年作了一些重要的决定：改行、答应 R 的求婚、购屋。
之前在银行工作，觉得很多时候“身不由己”。原本，以为妹妹终于毕业了，决定出去拼一拼，做一些自己喜欢做的事。改行后，等于是自雇人士，收入不稳定，有些费用还是“投资”。改行不到一个月，却意外的答应 R 的求婚，而且在十月买了我们的爱巢。
10年是履行的时候。
3月是屋子的 2nd appointment，即是拿锁匙。
7月是令人期待的与姐妹淘的 trip to Australia 。这应该是婚前的最后一个单身之旅。
10月是成为别人太太的新旅程。
当然，还是的努力工作，还是的勒紧腰带。
没有时间也没有办法后悔决定。不管前路如何，定会提醒自己要秉持我“见招拆招”的精神。
欢迎2010。

突发奇想 again......
最近有朋友，打电话给我，问我关于求职的问题。发现其实原来这不只是 fresh grad 会碰到的问题，就算是有工作经验的人也会有“我的resume, cover letter 要怎么写？”还是“我 interview 时应该怎么回答这个问题？”，甚至有人问我应该穿什么。市场上有很多101课程、seminars for dummies，网上也有很多articles 作顾问。不过，课程和网络千篇一律的 faq，其实缺少的是一个 made to measure 的 answer。
我想我应该有个一条龙服务：针对你想争取的工作，对 resumes, cover letters, interview questions和服装给你 one-to-one 的意见。How much should I charge then?

到了我这个年龄，红炸弹收到手软。买楼、结婚、生子似乎才是人生三件大事。
不过，这三件事都跟钱离不开关系。普遍的情况是：年轻人没有积蓄，这三件事的费用都是老爸老妈包办。令人惊讶的是，我这些好友都不是富裕人家，爸妈都是打工阶级。他们多数有 2-3 孩子，供孩子们读完大学，竟然还能腾出$50k-$100K，给孩子买房子，办婚事！这不仅让我想到，如果到了他们这个年纪，我也能够有留那么多钱给我的宝贝孩子们吗?
仔细想想：我爸那个年代，省吃俭用，为的就是把最好的留给孩子。如今，我们这个年代，负债累累，散金如粪土。现在贷款很简单，三两天就有“支票”（balance transfer) 送上门。我觉得我们时时刻刻要提醒自己，小心不要步美国的后尘，个个都透支过日子。

The road to adulthood is tough.
I'm under lots of pressure - with the money needed for our new home and wedding preparation + I'm still in experimenting stage of my career. I even suggested to Royston that maybe we shouldn't go honeymoon, we could go when we are more comfortable with our pockets.
Things that I'd done to cut down on spending:
1. Cut down on shopping
My credit card says $41 only! yeah! so proud of myself.
2. Cut down on restaurant
No more extravagant living. I never like the food at foodcourts but I dun mind eating at hawker centres. Have been eating more meals at hawker nowadays.
3. No more taxi
I'm known as taxi uncle's best friend, I'm used to taking it almost everyday. But now I hardly take any cab anymore. So far, i've only taken 2 times for this month. I deserve a clap?
I need to brainstorm what else can I cut down on.

R.S.V.P is so widely used but how many know the meaning of this abbreviation?
任贤齐 just release his new album R.S.V.P, he says it means Reserve Shall Verify Presence(?) His Engrish din make much sense...
妹妹 out of curiosity had searched online before and says it's Respond Sender Via Phone. This could be right for party terms.
It's actually a French phrase, répondez, s'il vous plaît, meaning Respond Please. 任贤齐, this phrase is on ur cd cover. tsk tsk.
In olden days, written invitations require written respond from guests. Now, we often see this abbreviation on wedding or party invitations. The person inviting you would like you to respond if you will accept or decline the invitations. This is basic courtesy. But I realised the locals dun have this habit of RSVP. Often, guests wait for the hosts to call them for confirmation. Some din want to attend but just ignore the invitations totally.
Maybe we should seriously do some self-reflection, observe good ettique, and respect each other. Even when someone talks to you, it's only right to respond, let alone when someone extends their invitation to you, we shouldn't be so rude to ignore it.

My mum is a genius. She has this very bad habit - she doesn't watch the over the stove while cooking. Things get burned easily when u dun pay attention to them. Everytime when it gets burned, we get the blame. It's almost ridiculous that she flared up and scolded the whole family for NOT paying attention to the stove. Unluckily, I was the 1 that discover the burned most of the times. Seriously can someone enlighten me how help my mum, so that things dun get burned?

Does this sounds like me?
She will stand out of the crowd on the street. Leo woman normally or rather tall. You will hardly see a short thick woman. When she walks she walk like a queen, confident and does not look around, though as if there is no one around her.
She will dress in her own style not according to fashion. She is confident of what she choose to wear. Do not buy cheap cloths where they sell in dozen for her as a gift, she will hate it. Also do not buy cloths that do not reflect her confident personality. She likes unique and strange cloths and accessories. Being different is what she loves.
If you want to know her, take times and be patient because she is selective about people she mingles with. She's open minded, but yet she is not letting people get to close to her easily. She likes sweet words and compliments, but not too much.
She smiles with anyone, b! ut insid e she thinks she is borne to be a leader.
She likes to be in control because it is in her nature instinct. She is a graceful woman, and she has a magnetic charisma, so expect tough competition.
She is a very proud person, so do not do anything to challenge her confident. She can be mad and act like a hurricane, and later can be like an innocent kitten, but do not fall for her O.K. She remembers everything and likes to cherish her sweet memory, so if you find her old photo albums with her ex-boyfriend or love letters that will make you puke, take it easy. She is keeping her sweet memory does not mean she still in love with the old fool, so you do not have to panic.
She will have many guys run after her, so if you have advantage of a good background family, or a famous last name, a successful career then it's a plus. She hates to be poor and she thinks love will not pay bills.
She is a sport type and love sports. If you want to date her, prepare to spend big bucks, for your first dinner with her can not be a hot dog stand, but better be the best place in town. She is a generous person, so do not be surprise if she give you a gift more expensive than what you gave her. She likes extravaganza, no cheap gift, no cheap dinner please. Being poor or broke make her depress. If you do not have lots of money, be creative and make your own gift for her. It's unique quality and times spending making it for her is a big deal. You can think economical, but do not be cheap.

I'm really ridiculous. Guess that's because I'm too free. Haha...
I was surfing online and came across this really cute and fun thingy. And I sort of thought of the best gifts for my bridesmaids. I know. I know. This is way too early. But I can't help it. You know you are my best girlfriends and I seriously don't want to give you gifts such as key-chain, bookmarks, candle stands, chocolates....etc.
However, I'm not gng to reveal the thingy. To be continued....

This is something we should all read at least once a week!
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio
To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

昨晚看《败犬女王》，心理很闷。
败犬迫不得已的拉大饼冒充男友，争执时大饼抛了一句“你这个O型狮子座”。 Wat's wrong with O型狮子座? Arghh....

前两年因为《蔷薇之恋》而辗转让阿桑以《叶子》一首歌红了起来。阿桑才34岁，却得了癌症。今日不知明日事。天妒英才，天妒红颜。难道真是人太聪明，人太漂亮，连老天爷都妒嫉？
我与母亲大人闲聊中打趣的说，人不需要太聪明，也不需要太漂亮，平平就好。

每一年，我们都会到NTUC去办年货。今年值得一提的是，虽然我们买了接近$200的年货，不过我们连一个塑胶袋也没拿。妈妈向来讲究环保。不知从何开始，妈妈喜欢带着环保袋上超市。我们一共用了5个环保袋才将全部货品搬回家。
家里不要的信件，全都变成妈妈多功能的“小小垃圾桶”，她会将A4 size 的纸张折成一个四方形的小碗状，适合丢鱼骨头和小纸张。如果有小朋友来访，也不用担心他们在吃饼干时，会将饼碎撒满地，只要给他们一个“小小垃圾桶”就行了。
最夸张的是，妈妈最近发现了在我们家附近有个地方为了推广环保，可以用不要的塑胶瓶来换取米粉！真是前所未闻。妈妈当然是非常支持。
希望有多些环保的活动，让新加坡人更了解和爱惜地球。

“Wah...周董终于要来新加坡了啊？而且要在新加坡庆生!”之前听933电台说唱片公司在Dragonfly为周杰伦开一个庆功派对。没想到原来周董本尊并没来。唱片公司准备了一只周杰伦预碌的VCR和他的MV首播。公司也借此举办了最新的DVD的预购。一个没有寿星公的生日派对，我还是头一回听说。相信也只有像周杰伦这种巨星才有如此的排场。
