来唱歌哟！

在面子书上问四月的最后一篇文章（这篇）应该写些什么好？

竟然有一位朋友回答！

要知道我的面子书上那些加我的人，几乎都是不会答复或给反应的，而是那些潜伏着不知道几时要暗算我的那种。

（也是面子书上看到的一个图面是这样讲啦…）

那朋友说写 WeSing。

WeSing 是一个唱歌的应用程序，最近我刚刚下载，因为想唱歌。

要知道许多年前，我有一群喜欢唱歌的同事朋友，我们常常一起去飙歌。

然后比较靠近的一些年前，那群人走了一些、也来了一些，还是不时会去唱歌。

然后热情减了，就变成每三个月一次的约定。

但渐渐的越来越多人失去了兴趣，总是有比一起唱歌更重要的事，所以三个月一次的约定也越来越少人出席。

然后，就… 没有人再提起了。

其实我是因为最近有很多歌手在线上开演唱会什么的，所以才去找可以一起唱歌的手机应用程序。

其中一个喜欢唱歌的朋友推荐 WeSing，所以就下载了。

招集以往一起唱歌的那一群朋友，只有很少的人响应。

我们在过去的周末来了一次聚唱，在行动管制令期间还可以线上一起唱歌，不错哦！

不用聚在一起也可以一起唱歌很好啊，只是需要多点唱歌的伴…

当然，兴致勃勃的我，下载了 WeSing 后就开始咳嗽喉咙痛了。

唉，这就是命。

快点痊愈吧！真的很想唱歌。

I went out (3)

Okay, this wasn't in the original plan, but I went out again today, making this the third time I am out of the house during the movement control order (MCO) period.

Granted, the movement control order has yet again been extended, but my plan is to not go out regardless of how long it extends to, except when I have to drive the car for a bit to avoid the battery going flat.

Which is why I went out today, though it's not for my car, but for dad's car that is not as fuel efficient and hence often left undriven.

For my own car the next drive will be some day in the later half of the week.

Wifey found out on the past Friday when she was doing her biweekly grocery trip that the battery in dad's car has gone flat, so we jump-started the car today and I drove it for a longer duration, about twenty minutes.

And yes, I took the opportunity to get a pack of Coke and also takeaway lunch. ^_^

By the way I fully support the extension of the MCO and I think it is the right thing to do. 

I know there are those who suffer because of MCO, but I understand the need of it.

There are also those who can't stay home, not used to staying home, who will find any excuse to go out, and probably go out more frequent than necessary.

Oh well.

I like to think it's lack of discipline, but I will just chalk it up to the diverse human behaviours, habits and attitudes.

I am happy when he died, part deux

Finished watching the Game of Thrones television series about a week ago.

Well, adaptation decay is apparent even for a goldfish memory reader like me, the television series storyline deviated further and further away from the source material, especially in the later seasons.

My goldfish memory remembers Catelyn Stark revived after the Red Wedding, but that's not in the television series.

Actually, I remember many characters being revived in the book version since I remember saying to myself: "WTF, another?"

Since the television series is ahead of the source material in the later seasons, there are definitely some new contents that I have never read in the books.

The ending is just... meh! What a disappointment.

But anyway, here are a few more happy moments for me, other than when the prick died.

*** Spoiler warning! If you have not seen the Game of Thrones television series and do not want to have the content spoiled, then stop reading now. Considered yourself warned. ***

- when the bitch Cersei Lannister got thrown into a dungeon cell in episode 7 of season 5.

- when the sadist Ramsay Bolton got eaten alive by his hounds in episode 9 of season 6.

- when Arya efficiently killed Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish in episode 7 of season 7.

Besides the disappointing ending, I am also disappointed by the great war between the living and the dead, it's just too darn dark and I couldn't see much of the actions.

And Cersei got off easy, I am disappointed by the way she died, she deserved worse.

Oh well, at least I am done with the series now, I enjoyed it, and can see why so many people like it.

有感而发：感伤

二零二零年四月十八日。

已过了凌晨十二点，所以十八号，星期六了。

就是，突然很多感触。

淡淡的感伤和失落。

有那忧郁症又要来袭的预感。

*****

工作总有上上下下。

只是连续尝试了三天后，今天我选择放弃不理。

我暴走。

下周工作天开始时才继续努力吧。

*****

看了奶茶刘若英线上演唱会那最后三十分钟左右，突然觉得很久没有唱歌了。

除了怀念的感觉，竟然有点伤感。

*****

这些同时很多人相互交错又爱又恨的连续剧，看得很累人。

为什么要搞到那么复杂？

坦诚相对，简单才是幸福。

*****

我这越来越孤僻的人，越来越不适合和别人相处。

越来越无法忍耐那些自以为是的人、性格不合的人。

感觉有越来越多看不顺眼的人在浪费我的精力和时间。

*****

孤岛，嗯。

很强烈的感觉。

真的，我说了，只是…

没有人明白。

没有人在乎。

I went out (2)

I went out again today, same reason as previously, to drive the car for a bit to avoid its battery going flat.

So this is the second time I am out from the house during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Most likely a lot less than many people.

I am doing my part as best as I can, though I definitely don't want a flat battery so I will continue to drive my car for a bit every two weeks or so.

Anyway, took the opportunity to get hawkers' food, as I was craving for Hokkien mee and chicken rice. The kids too.

Bought myself a teh peng too! ^_^

I got greedy and ate both the Hokkien mee and chicken rice in the same meal (yes I bought extra portion), ended with a too full belly. =P

Comfort food for all the bad news and disappointment received today, but that's another story.

This entry is just a record of the number of times I am out of the house during MCO.

没下限

人类的愚蠢…

人类的固执…

人类的自私…

人类的叛逆…

人类的缺德…

人类的荒谬…

…没有下限。

还是有很多自以为是、没有责任感、不会替他人着想、没有安全意识、不知死活、没有自律、侥幸心态的混蛋到处溜达闲逛。

仿佛行动管制令不关他们的事，非要搞到完全封锁才甘愿那样。

自私的脑残、智障、白痴们，你们想死请自便，但不要拖累他人。

跳海不会拖累他人，而且还可以喂鱼，积点阴德。

Go testosterone, part deux

A status update, so to speak, on my going wild with facial hair endeavour.

As of today it's some way between three and four weeks worth of growth, with no trimming or tidying whatsoever.

The thing with my facial hair is that it's not equal in quantity or concentration on the two sides.

My left chin has more hair than my right, while my right neck has more than my left.

Guess I am just imbalanced, hehe. =P

The moustache is long enough to reach over the upper lip for a while now, which is a new prickly sensation since when I normally keep my facial hair, I keep it trimmed in a presentable manner, I never let it grow over the upper lip.

And yes, I consider myself messy and not presentable now, like a wildling really.

Oh, the hair below the lower lip is long enough to reach the beard now, so if I don't suck in my lower lip, the empty skin in between the two will not be apparent.

I have a feeling that my facial hair has probably reach the limit of their length, that it will not grow much longer.

But I will still stick to my endeavour and only trim or shave when the movement control order is over.

Let's see how it will end up.

有感而发：孤岛

二零二零年四月九日。

没有人是一座孤岛。

不知道是不是可以这样直接翻译，我想的是英文 no man is an island 这句。

我同意它的意思，没有人是与世隔绝的。

人类是群体动物，就连反社会、反社交的我也不例外。

虽然我常常觉得人类很累人，但我知道我还是群体的一部分的。

不喜欢，但是必要。

我离开了之前的工作部门后，离开了一群结交多年的同事朋友。

十五个月后，我感觉自己越来越像一座孤岛。

在新的部门没有一群像以前那样的同事朋友。

没有机缘？还不够久？还是自己根本就没有要去认识新朋友那意愿？

遗憾的是，连以前那些同事朋友我也觉得越来越陌生…

不出奇，毕竟没有了互动，联系也鲜少。

友情是需要常联络、互相呵护栽培的。

签唱会取消通告

不意外，既是意料之中。

由于上篇通告后反应冷淡，哦，不是…

由于上篇通告后完全没有反应，所以签唱会取消进行。

借此告知。

请不要说我没有通知，因为我说了，只是…

心语细述 |系列|

I am happy when he died

First week of March, out of the blue I decided it's time to check out the television series Game of Thrones.

You know, to see what all the fuss is about.

I read the A Song of Ice and Fire series novels back in 2016, when a five books set, up to A Dance with Dragons, was on sale.

Bought the books thinking it's a complete set, only to find out after reading that it's not, the series has not ended yet.

Hate it when this happens. Why sell as a set when it's not a complete set?

Bollocks!

Means I will have to reread all of them when the series actually ends and when I finally buy the novels.

Yea, goldfish memory...

Don't get me wrong, I like to read, it's one of my hobbies. What makes rereading this series less appealing is because I remember a not very enjoyable read the first time through.

The many characters, places and names were tedious. Often times when reading I didn't know who was who and from where, that took away the enjoyment.

So it's a pleasant surprise that the television version helped by putting faces to names, that I have found the television series enjoyable.

And from my not so reliable memory, the television version has been faithful to the book's version, so that's another pleasant surprise.

Well, at least up to where I have watched so far.

Just wanted to record the joy I felt when the prick Joffrey died in episode 2 of season 4.

Good riddance!

As expected

As soon as I posted that entry, I drafted this.

I know my blog, I know the viewers.

The lack of viewers, to be exact, and the indifference of the few who occasionally read the blog.

So I already know the outcome, and so I wrote this beforehand, ready to be posted by the end of the month.

No one contacted me or left a comment about the entry, no surprise there.

Either no one sees it, or those who did don't get it and/or don't care.

Exactly as expected.

So the celebration is not going to happen, which is good because I no longer have the heart to do it since...

Hmm... since when exactly?

Don't remember when exactly, but I stopped being the 'bridge' for a while now.

Just don't feel it's worth it anymore.

Anyway, it's good to be proven right.

Means I am still firmly in the know regarding my own blog, the viewers and my social circle, and have no delusion about them.

That is a good thing, I like to be down to earth, I like to know the facts.

I like to know I am right.

I have no use for bullshit and illusion, I despise those who generate and spread misinformation, and those who have delusion of grandeur.

I don't want to be like those I despise.

EDIT: initially planned to post this on the last day of March, but figured I should post after March instead, to be fair to my words.
