Hero or Villain?

We have special power. All of us.

We can use our power to do good, to help others, to make other people happy, to make the world a better place.

Or we can use our power to do bad, to hurt people, to make other people sad or angry, to make the world a nasty place to live in.

It's your choice how you want to use your power, but please think about how it's going to affect the others, and be responsible for your actions.

So, how do you want to use your power?

Do you want to use it to do good, and be a hero?

Or do you want to use it to do bad, and be a villain?

I hope you choose to be a hero.

This is what I told my elder son yesterday.

Backlogs #4

This one is dated 10th of September 2012, titled "butt pain".

It's really a badminton player asking me about attendance, who supplied too much information...

Manglish and Malay required to fully understand this.

Seriously, I already said it, I don't want to know!

生活点滴：不幽默的忍者

昨夜睡前惯性的下楼找老婆仔抱抱亲晚安。

她正坐着用电脑在看电影。

当我在她身旁把脸贴到她的头上时，她略惊问到：

“做么你走路没有声音的？”

真的是像上次讲的那样，见到我已不是惊喜而是惊吓，唉…

然后她很惯性的站起来准备抱抱。

我把手放在她的肩膀上没好气的说：

“很不好意思隐瞒了你这么久，其实你老公我是忍者来的。忍者走路是没有声音的，有时我还是爬在天花板上过来的。”

“哦。”

“哦？一点都不好笑咩？”

“Okay 咯。”

“越来越难做你笑了。我觉得我这样跟别人讲他们会笑咯…”

“跟你在一起这样久了嘛。”

“我有说过我是忍者咩？”

“是习惯了你讲笑话的方式咯。”

“唉，不能做我老婆仔笑了，「好惨」啊～”

接着我们很惯性的抱抱和亲吻道晚安。

KaBOOM!

Should I have seen this coming?

The signs I had been reading were pointing otherwise, weren't they?

Had I been reading them wrong? Or simply because I didn't care to follow closely?

Anyhow, I got bombed today.

I didn't expect it so I was shell shocked when it hit. Still am, really.

Good grief.

To immediately pick up someone else tasks without any proper pass-down or a period of transition is not nice. NOT nice.

Really kanasai. >_<

I was so stunned I treated some colleague friends ice cream, to "celebrate" my misfortune. I think that's befitting to my mental and emotional state: mad, pissed, and needing to cool down.

Deep breath CK, deep breath.

Random behaviour for July 2015

When I came up with my June's impromptu resolution, what I had in mind was really just the instant messages that I initiated.

However, soon after I started recording my progress, I realised a few things:

1. majority of my instant messages are actually initiated by the others. In June that was 57% of the 144 recorded.

2. I do better in instant messages I initiated, remembering to greet first for 89% of the time.

3. I slipped up more and jumped in straight with my reply in the instant messages initiated by the others. I forgot to greet first in 20% of the messages initiated by others.

Overall I greet first for 84% of the instant messages, whether initiated by me or the others. I was hoping to be 90% or better, so I guess I failed my June's impromptu resolution. Oh well. =(

Anyway, for July 2015, starting after I post this, my impromptu resolution is: to do push-ups everyday.

Because I can.

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
