矛盾茫然

累

总是好累

想好好睡一觉

但近来连周末都要工作

悲

也忘了是几年几月前

那一个不是选择的选择

丢信么？

或接受这份不喜欢的任务？

好大个不甘愿和无奈

如今任务也快完成了

一切顺利的话

再一个月？三个星期?

真的要拜拜祈祷多点

不要再来什么冬瓜豆腐的

到时终于可以剃胡子了！

那是当时「度烂」时给自己的承诺

一种形式上的抗议

如今胡子已经开始白了

唉…

然

任务完成后接下来是什么呢？

看不清，脚不着地似的

感觉茫然

真的是前途茫茫

Koh Samui footprints

Went to Koh Samui in early June, it's an in-laws' family trip.

A bonding trip. A fun trip. A memorable trip.

As I said upon my return: it's not where we go, but with whom, that matters.

Anyway, this is not meant to be a wordy entry, so here are some photos taken with my aged entry level smartphone, while it has a first class processor, the camera is just... meh!

I stayed faithful to my travel photo style, but this time I postprocessed them into black and white.

Behold! Photos mostly of the villa we stayed in at the InterContinental Samui Baan Taling Ngam Resort.

bird-cage-like chairs at the front of the villa

the villa has five rooms, three stories

the living room on the top floor

the top floor living room from another angle

again the top floor living room, looking towards the kitchen and dining area

inner stairs to the second floor living room

the beach with clear sea and corals. Yes this is in colour =P

a treasure chest full of card and board games!

me and my bubble bath ^_^

understandably wifey spent most of her time with her family, so here's the rare occasion when she indulged me

Angels & Demons

There are two types of people: those who encourage and assist you in achieving your goal; and those who make fun of your attempt and try to hinder you from achieving your goal.

Be thankful of both types.

The former are those who you can rely on. They are those who will share your happiness and your sense of achievement when you succeeded. These are positive people.

Try to surround yourself with this kind of people.

The latter are those who derive sadistic pleasure from other people's failure and suffering. They make light of your goal and ridicule your effort, selfishly hoping that you will fail. Perhaps they don't want others to achieve something they can't?

There will always be arseholes and jerks in the world, sad but true.

Be thankful to the former for their positive support and the readily available person to share your joy of success.

Turn the latter's hindrances and jeers into motivation, into strength, and prove them wrong. Because the harder they make it, the greater the sense of achievement.

Just remember not to fall to their level.

乐

虽然喜欢唱悲情歌

我可不是一个悲伤的人

我的人生也没有那么悲哀

其实只是因为唱歌喜欢放入感情

唱悲情歌总是比较有感觉

至少能够感动自己自爽下，呵呵！ =P

重点不是唱什么曲风的歌

而是我又喜欢唱歌了！

心境对了

还真是有一阵子厌倦了唱歌的

觉得唱歌不再欢乐，好累人…

终于都过了

我想

应该是已经挨完最新一回的忧郁症来袭

感觉又有活力了，又有能量了

最近工作忙得不得了

但心境还是不错

可以保持乐观的面对问题

又爱搞笑和搞怪了

又有能量关心他人了

又喜欢作弄朋友，邪恶下了 ^_^

喜欢这样的自己

开心快乐

有正能量来邪恶，呵呵！ =P

希望可以保持这样

Weekend warrior

Spent the past weekend indulging in computer gaming.

That's pretty much all I did, besides sleeping till noon, reading book, and watching the China version of Running Man.

Bliss. =P

如果…

如果用跟老婆仔的话题和她的主意写部落格的话…

「因外游，本月减稿」

「杯葛介绍美食的网页，因为太多人有那奇怪的行为：食物到不准吃，一定要先拍照上载」

「大瓜在学校的行为」

「教导孩子的方法」

「脱毛的毛巾」

「长毛的奶头。白色？等我老点先」

Meaningful gifts are made, not bought

Disclaimer: the following is a direct quote from the 3rd point of this blog entry.

It's something that I concur completely and since I cannot write something as eloquently, I best just quote it verbatim. Sharing is caring.

Quote:

"The age old advice of making gifts instead of buying them usually goes unheeded. Since we’re a consumerist culture, acceptance come in the form of high-end goods and other expensive items. However, gifts do not always have to be all about expensive things. Whether the gift is for your good friends, a special someone, parents, or siblings, gifts are items you give to commemorate the ties between you and the recipient. With this, gifts are most effective when they exude meaningfulness. Effort is an aspect that adds meaning to your gift. The more effort you put in making the gift, the more meaningful it is."

On an unrelated note, I also like the 2nd point of that blog entry. ^_^

Backlogs #3

This one is dated 17th of August 2012.

Hokkien and Manglish required to truly understand this.

How many times do I have to say this?

I am not a bad person.

I am evil. Don't spoil my reputation! =P

Back to Earth

Five days four nights at Koh Samui. Over.

Waking up in my own room this morning, had that strange feeling of being back to reality.

The non-vacation version of reality. The I-am-going-to-work-tomorrow reality.

Bollocks.

Seaside vacation is my ideal kind of holiday.

Actually, as long as it's centred around peace and quiet, relax and chilling out, it's ideal.

With the little monsters around though, peace and quiet remain just a dream.

While I didn't get to lie down reading or napping on the beach or beside the many swimming pools with wifey at my side, I did get a couple time-outs chilling in bubble bath.

The waterfall was a let down, and the rest of the humanmade stuff that we visited were the usual same old same old.

The company was gold. Really, it's not where we go, but with whom, that matters.

Back to work tomorrow. So again I have to say...

Bollocks!

亲亲小天使

嘿，小天使

九年了

今年爸爸没忘了或误期哦

因为昨晚已经开始想你

爸爸最近真的是忙得不得了

感觉突然老了很多似的

身体开始不太行了

岁月不留人，朝朝催人老

你两个弟弟也都大了

希望他们会懂事听话

做个有责任感的诚实好人

不要总是气妈妈

妈妈很确定的不要再生了

所以爸爸的女儿梦破灭了，唉…

有时爸爸很好奇很想知道

你是不是我那梦寐以求的女儿啊？

今天家里好热闹哦

妈妈的家人全来了

连那很亲的干阿姨也来了

和她那很可爱很友善随和的小妹妹

接下来几天应该都会继续很热闹吧？

希望会有很多欢乐和美好的回忆

你要在天国跟随我们的踪迹哦

乖乖了，我的小天使

Random behaviour for June 2015

Succeeded in my May's impromptu resolution. I did not succumb to my Coke craving, feel so proud of myself. ^_^ feel good +1

In fact, I haven't treated myself to a Coke yet even though it's already June.

It's worth mentioning that these impromptu resolutions are meant to be personal discipline and mental strength training. A sort of self challenge.

They are never meant as anything else but the May's resolution has helped me realise who among the people around me are those who will support me in achieving my goal, and who are those who try to hinder (I have drafted something on this).

I suppose that's a good thing too, identifying friends and, well, "friends". =P

Anyway, for June 2015, starting after I post this, my impromptu resolution is: to always start any instant messages with a proper greeting.

Because I can.
