Maturity

Facebook, a good tool to update your friends about your life, a good tool for friends to know more about you.
Seeing more and more friends getting married at the tender age of 21, and even have offsprings, I have to grow up too..
Grow up!

Wide awake
3am.Having slept at 4am for four consecutive days, I had been beat in the morning when I went for my marketing project meeting. Two cans of Nescafé cannot pull me out of my drowsiness and set my brain to work. Well, not as well as usual at least.
Now, at 3am, I am positive that my body would thank me if I can put work aside and repay the debts that I have to my sleep. My heart would be thankful if I could forget the memory that confronted me in the MRT today.
The memory. The features of it imprint clearly in my mind. Every cell within me awoke the moment the figure stepped into my line of view, in the MRT train. The strangest thing was, minutes ago, I was just sharing my recent lost ‘fortune’ with my marketing group mate who is going through similar experience that I had with this figure.
The familiarity of this figure set my heart to race, my eyes to blur, and my legs to escape from this iniquity presence. A voice told me to stay put. What wrong did I commit to justify for my urge for immediate escape? I yield to my legs. After all, this wicked figure or even the symbolization of it, had been what I been avoiding.
Confronted by the memory that I am not ready to face, a lowly exit is the only action I was capable of to protect myself from the withered feeling that the presence could induce.
Thank you Shar, for your understanding, and for accompany me while I seek shelter in distance. As the train rushed off, I held back the surge of sorrows and self-pity, and re-buried the memory that the iniquity presence unearthed.
3am. Still wide awake. Emotions unmoved by the snippets of memory that I had knowingly uncovered. Good job. Now cells, go to sleep please.

命里有时终需有，命里无时莫强求
I always think very little of Singaporean celebrities. As much as I want to give them my support, few met my approval in terms of personality and professionalism. I would, however, like to share this article that I read today about this Superstar runner-up who broke up with her 3-year relationship. Agree with her stand.Choosing better path for yourself is more realistic than clinging onto something that will never be yours.

A courageous girl in love - Kelly Poon
Snipping the tresses which she has kept for two years, Kelly Poon, now spotting a short funky hairdo, is said to have found courage to breakup with boyfriend of three years, ending the relationship she described as most "realistic".
Kelly met her ex-boyfriend six years ago and they dated for the last three years. Despite having cheated on Kelly three times during those three years, she still held on to the relationship with trust and was silly enough to even sit down for a meal with her rival. The relationship ended in an amicable note when Kelly had to spend a large amount of her time out of Singapore.
"I think I am a courageous girl. To both hold on to a relationship and be so silly, you need courage. Each of us has an angel and a devil who will tell you: hey, you should leave now; you need to let go of this relationship. But many times, you will still persist and try to defend that relationship; I think that really needs courage. So I think when I'm in love, I'm a courageous girl," she described.
"Candid Reminiscences", a hit song in her new album "Smiling Kelly", is about this story of hers.
"I think this (relationship) is most realistic. I gave in many of my "firsts" in this relationship, in terms of emotions. For example, there was the first time I shouted at someone, the first time I cried over a boyfriend and the first time I quarreled with a boyfriend. I'm quite a peaceful person, easy-going and all, but he can actually make me mad and shout at him. I think that's really unforgettable. I'm the kind of girl who will give me a certain timeframe to forget about all unhappiness; this is how we came up with the theme for this album, and "Candid Reminiscences" became the hit song," Kelly recounted.
Before becoming a singer, Kelly was a prestige air stewardess; with the irregular working hours, she had to spend past Valentine's Day overseas with her colleagues.
"I remember some girls will actually receive flowers. Their boyfriends will send bouquets of flowers to their rooms, how romantic! I don't have that kind of experience! For Valentine's Day, I think Paris is still the most romantic. They have this river in the middle of the city district, where couples will sit around hugging and kissing. Though there are many couples and it feels very crowded, the romantic atmosphere is still rich."
Kelly revealed that the biggest bouquet she received for Valentine's Day is one with 12 stalks of white and pink tulips but she has yet to receive any gifts that truly touched her.
"I remember once I went shopping with two of my best female friends and we purposely dressed up and chose a restaurant with many couples in it to wine and dine. The feeling then was a bit like: so what if you have a partner, we single girls can also spend the day together! Haha (Were you girls silently wishing for some single guys to pick you up?) Actually we will think that way in our hearts, but it wasn't outright. Otherwise, why do we dress up so nicely?" Kelly laughed.
For this past Valentine's Day, Kelly was in Malaysia promoting her album. The currently single and available 25-year-old also made public appeal for suitors.
"If anyone wants to date me, it's ok. Just call my company and check out my schedule. My boss actually encourages me to get into a relationship because he feels that love will make one mature. I will not reject any opportunities for a relationship but we still need to see if there are feelings and sparks," she said.
Her ideal boyfriend is a humble man with intelligence and constant desire for improvements. "I'm not very smart so I need a man whom I can look up to and learn from; someone I'll always be amazed over. I'd also very much prefer a humble man who is not very flashy," Kelly revealed.

感叹～
一生中，我们有多少要和不要的东西呢？很多吧？去追求了多少呢？其中掌又握了多少？
我再说我自己。奢望的、希望的、渴望的、盼望的，不计其数。
去追求的．．．也不少。像学日语、学翻译、学乐器、学人际关系．．．
这些我都略知一二。真正掌握的，屈指可数：０
为什么呢？因为奢望的、希望的、渴望的、盼望的，太多，以至生活没有中心。
缺乏持之以恒之心。
什么都略知一二，一知半解。
想要重拾起并延续之前的技能却发现时间悄悄溜走。
如今的我就快要踏入社会，为金钱做牛做马。
像父亲一样，为家庭、为父母、为朋友、为工作劳碌奔波。
根本没有时间继续追求自己要的了。
我可以不走同样的路吗？我可以改变自己的命运吗？
其实一切感叹都因为听了2005年MJC SYF Gold 之作：Vivaldi Concerto Allegro & Bridge over Troubled Waters。
这可说是我在音乐道路上最有成就的作品了。
怎么把录音放上部落格供大家欣赏呢？？？

Friday the Thirteen
Credits to Getty Images
There will be three 'Friday the Thirteen' in 2009. One of it is today of course - 13th February.
Today is a hazy day. My driving instructor commented on it when we were along Changi Road. Indonesia is burning their forests, again. He said. The 90 minutes lesson was filled with frustration. For both of us. Third lesson since I started in December, the skills I learnt from the previous two were long forgotten. "I need more lessons" I told my instructor. "Ok" he said. Following that, at the end of the lesson, he assigned two consecutive lessons for me, two weeks later. Wonderful.
Back to my frustration during driving. I ALMOST langa-ed three times today. Thanks to me rusty skills of negiotiating curves, and (even) driving on straight roads. "Straight roads are not straight. There are bumps everywhere" he told me. I know that of course. But HOW to keep straight?! That's my question,W. "You just have to look FaaaR ahead. As far as possible." Of course, if I look far far far ahead, I would be able to fly over multiple bumps that are almost invisible to bare and inexperienced eyes. It's ok, by the end of the lesson, I found out that it's really about 'feeling' your car and experiencing the ride. No thanks to my driving instructor of course.
But of course I have to thank him for stepping on the spare brake on the passenger side time and time again and turning my steering wheel to help me negotiate my turning. I will practice more and pass the practical test first time round, W.
Yep, that was how I spent my first Friday the Thirteen. The next one will be on 13th March, and the third one on 13th November. Have fun everyone.
