What I saw today
I think i better write down this before i forget...
was taking the LRT back and as usual it was in the peak hours thus it's rather packed.
Just when the door of the train was about to close an uncle came charging in, ah of cos since he was charging in like a rhino he managed to "squeezed" in, and i can see from his expression tat he was quite happy a expression of triumph that he had managed to squeeze in, but in doing so he crushed a few ladies in front and i heard a indian lady saying "Aiyoh, Aiyoh..." crushed between bodies...ok another train was at the opp platform ( those who take Teck Whye LRT, shld be aware that at CCK interchange u can take frm either side)
Actually such incidents happen frequently in LRTs and MRTs, no big deal.
But the bottom line here is that always in trying to achieve what we want, did we think about other parties? the suffering of others? If he didn't display that smug face and instead a more humble expression, at least i dun have anything to say. Have we really been so fanatic with our lives and the desire to get ahead of others that we have forgot all sense of humility? and to empathies with others? or it's alright to do anything just to get what we wan w/o regards to all else and feelings.
yesterday also, a lady was complaining to a auntie that she was poking her stomach making her uncomfortable, ah in a nice tone. then instead of saying sorry, the auntie exclaimed "If u wan to be squeezed take Taxi la!"... Why we can't just apologise and admit our mistake instead of trying to come out wif all type of stupid reasons and argue just for the sake of arguing? Is this the right attitude?
Think about it...
Too bad i dun have my cam wif me, else i would hav snapped a few pics..
Just for fun:
me,myself and CY

see no evil, hear no evil

Still rem this song?...
城里的月光
每颗心上某一个地方
总有个记忆挥不散
每个深夜某一个地方
总有着最深的思量
世间万千的变幻
爱把有情的人分两端
心若知道灵犀的方向
那怕不能够朝夕相伴
城里的月光把梦照亮
请温暖他心房
看透了人间聚散
能不能多点快乐片段
城里的月光把梦照亮
请守护它身旁
若有一天能重逢
让幸福撒满整个夜晚
每颗心上某一个地方
总有个记忆挥不散
每个深夜某一个地方
总有着最深的思量
世间万千的变幻
爱把有情的人分两端
心若知道灵犀的方向
那怕不能够朝夕相伴
城里的月光把梦照亮
请温暖他心房
看透了人间聚散
能不能多点快乐片段
城里的月光把梦照亮
请守护它身旁
若有一天能重逢
让幸福撒满整个夜晚

亲爱的小孩
小小的小孩 今天有没有哭
是否朋友都已经离去 留下了带不走的孤独
漂亮的小孩 今天有没有哭
是否弄脏了美丽的衣服 却找不到别人倾诉
聪明的小孩 今天有没有哭
是否遗失了心爱的礼物
在风中寻找 从清晨到日暮
我亲爱的小孩
为什么你不让我看清楚
是否让风吹熄了蜡烛
在黑暗中独自漫步
亲爱的小孩
快快擦干你的泪珠
我愿意陪伴你 走上回家的路

Some tots..
Read on
Been thinking about recent events on my way back and sipping my yakult, Green apple flavour... It's been a long time since i last drank that (even since my mum converted to Vitagen) , i still like the taste guess old habits die hard...
Still a favourite of mine

Saw a article on mypaper forum on how we (singaporeans) will react when we are faced with a national disaster like the Sichuan Earthquake. Will we flee at the first sign or trouble? Stay and help? or will we just stay there adopt a "wait and see" attitude?
I think not many here will remember the Hotel New world collapse, to Singapore that is a national disaster and i think during that time many singaporeans (our fathers) display true kampung spirit in helping out whenever they could. Can we replicate that if something were to happen?
We are quite fortunate in the sense that the area we live in in relatively free from natural disaster and we have a good "baby-sitter". I would say many things were delivered to us on a platter, we just have to reach out and get it. I would say we are very fortunate, and sometimes we dun even know we are that fortunate and keep grumbling abt how tough is life. It's sad to know that in other parts, people are starving, kids as young as 5 are scavenging in the dumps for food while here, i've seen kids even to the age of 5-6 still sitting comfortably in baby prams and suckling on milk bottles.. sometimes i think we really dun noe how blessed we are.

This is the Maslow's hierarchy of needs, some people in certain parts of the world are fighting for survival at the lowest end of the hierarchy, while for us? we are grumbling about not having the latest car model, when can we afford to stay in the most luxurious property in District 9. of cos there's nothing wrong with that, it's all part and parcel of "advancement". These are all self-gratifications and they are all at the top of the hierarchy (we already possesses the lower 6). Perhaps if we really go and think further and deeper, our grumbles will be less. Sometimes i really wonder if $ corrupts. When we were poor, we are humble and kind. when we become rich, we display suck-up attitude to suit our "elevated status". Is there a need for such double standards? I dunno frankly..
My fren told me that someone got arrested for posting racist remarks on his blog. So sad, a blog is supposed to be a personal diary somewhere to voice out his/her feelings, it has been use as a tool by some to sow discords. I have nothing to hide,thus i shall make no attempt to hide my blog cos there's no need for it, anyway if pp wan to know, they will noe... if dun wan ppl to know then dun write... just be responsible for wat u write and put on the net cos it's gg to be read by alot of ppl...I believe in doing things according to ur conscience, and not just do wat u wan to do.
A coin has 2 sides, even if no malicious harm was intended, words could be twisted against u. Alas... I used to voice my unhappiness in my blog which is the original reason why i started blogging. I have no need to write my happiness here cos i used to have someone to share wif (I wan to keep unhappiness to myself whenever i can) tat has since changed. I've started to write my experience, my feelings and my tots here. Most of them happy. The recent events that have happen to me is sad but that has also tot me that i am in control of my life, i can only be sad if i allow myself to be. No need to be vengeful also, afterall like wat many say wat comes around goes around... I will carry on my principled-centered life and be morally driven... Of cos i am sad for a while cos if i aren't then i will not be a human... haha
Anyway looking back, i think I am someone that can "make things happen".. often i turn ideas into reality. Mabbe that's why i am suitable to be an engineer? haha
I also realise my EQ is not that bad also... sorry i noe i dun sound humble but i guess i gotta acknowledge this fact. I think I picked myself up quite quickly and i did not take any extreme measures (though i could). Recent events have made me tougher and look at life in a different angle.
Sometimes i feel i can take 1 year break frm work, drop everything here and travel to rural places around the world to experience life. To me that is life rather than all those fancy 5Cs...
that would be tough la.. which employer would wan to give u 1 yr holiday? and how to fund the travel w/o work? unless of cos i employ myself... haha this require planning...
On a side note before ending... all those KS ppl who like to push and bang me around in MRT/LRT better dun cross my threshold.. i will push back and u can ask my soccer mates how good i am at 'pushing' haha...
