A Fashion Event

Recently, I attended a private fashion event where my colleague asked me to attend at the last minute for work related stuff.
Obviously, my outfit was not in tune with the "glamorous chic" dress code.
There were alot of the beautiful people in expensive-looking clothes and accessories.
People were trying to look "chic" and mingling around.
Naturally, I felt quite out of place.
In fact, feeling uncomfortable.
My most valuable accessory was my 7-years-old Seiko Watch.
haha

Surprisingly, I was quite happy after the event.
I did not have any desire to buy any expensive accessories/clothes.
I did not want to be like them.
I am just happy with the way I am.
Not trying to be someone that I am not.
Simple . Straightforward . No Pretence
.

This morning before leaving for work,
I spent 5 mins playing with my 9 month-old niece.
The Joy is priceless and real.

Well Done Guys!!!




Even though Jon and myself did not win the Singapore Leg of the City Chase 2008, I am proud to be beaten by a strong team.

They won the international competition. They have done Singapore proud.

Kudos to them!!!

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live afer our own;
but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude."

"Wars arise from a failure to understand one another's humanness.
Instead of summit meetings, why not have families meet for a picnic and get to know each other while the children play together?"

A Cup of not-so-warm Milo

I woke up this morning.
I saw a cup of not-so-warm Milo on the table.
Mum must had prepared it around 5am in the morning before leaving for airport.
I drank it.
It was really warm.
No big hugging.
No kissing on the cheek.
No saying "I love you".
This is my mum's way of expressing love.
Thanks.

周杰倫 - 稻香

(The original clip was taken off from youtube

and I think this person did a horrible job in translating the lyrics)

主唱:周杰倫

作曲:周杰倫

填詞:周杰倫

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落

請你打開電視看看

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去

我們是不是該知足

珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有

.

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡 隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

微微笑 小時候的夢我知道

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

回家吧 回到最初的美好

.

不要這麼容易就想放棄 就像我說的

追不到的夢想 換個夢不就得了

為自己的人生鮮艷上色 先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色

笑一個吧 功成名就不是目的

讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義

.

童年的紙飛機 現在終於飛回我手裡

所謂的那快樂 赤腳在田裡追蜻蜓追到累了

偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了 誰在偷笑呢

我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了

哦 哦 午後吉它在蟲鳴中更清脆

哦 哦 陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎

珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有

.

還記得你說家是唯一的城堡 隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

微微笑 小時候的夢我知道

不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

回家吧 回到最初的美好
