The tiny space. My tiny space.

Little things

2009-10-18T00:28:00.002+08:00

I love my mum's green bean soup.
I love the times when i am alone.
I love the long walks in the park.
I love looking out during long bus rides.
I love the moment when people stop rushing.
I love the sea breeze.
I love breakfast and tea-breaks.

I love the littlest things.

Insomnia

2009-09-26T10:27:00.002+08:00

昨晚又失眠了。應該是咖啡惹的禍。
i shouldn't have drank anything that contain caffeine at night..
我真的很討厭失眠。。

聚會的感覺好好。喜歡和朋友說話。
面對面的對話，跟上msn說話感覺總是不一樣。

我們不再是為了想買那幾百塊的遊戲機而煩
不再為了學業的成績而苦惱
每個人都在為夢想而奔
但不是每個人都會成功
如果日子是百分之百的完美，會是怎樣？

我有一個毛病。。

我喜歡，也需要很多獨處的時間
卻不敢一個人在公共場合的毛病
總是怕別人的眼光會放在我一個人的身上

我從來不一個人逛街，不一個人吃飯，不一個人看電影
但又喜歡一個人在圖書館，在超級市場

需要獨立點。。

好想念朋友啊。。 sec sch mates. poly mates. uni mates!

Experiment

2009-09-11T11:12:00.000+08:00

Past few days i only woke up in the middle of the day, after finding myself slping for 12 hours. so today i decided to do away with the alarm since there's no impt events or work, using just the sunlight to gauge the timing.

interesting enough, i woke up at 9 plus .am after probably 7 hours of slp! (i actually jumped out of the bed thinking that it's already noon)

I like the feeling of waking up early in the morning, which i am seriously lacking this habit, having my breakfast and starts a brand new day.

The month of August was pretty fast, experiencing full-time again for a month, and now i am back working on my own.

九月份其實也沒得閒著，有好多零零碎碎得事物等着去處理
其实蛮喜歡這樣的生活的。。

給朋友的信。。to all of my friends..

2009-08-11T00:24:00.003+08:00

每一個人生都會遇到不同階段的朋友
擦肩而過的很多
留下來的會有幾個？

我是被動的人
我從來不擅於交朋友
謝謝你們的主動
謝謝你們沒有因為我的被動而放棄我

我們雖然選擇自己認為屬於的地方
不再是一起面對一樣的生活
但是你們的出現讓我的人生更有意義
感謝你們留下來。。

踏出社會真的讓我體驗很多人與人之間存在的惡魔
互相的猜疑，心靈的爭鬥
彷彿彼此都不是真誠的對待對方
難道這就是人所說的‘現實的社會’嗎？

我好像迷路的小鹿，找不到家而感到害怕
好感激你們在我對於自己的信念中迷失了方向拉了我一把
一雙聆聽我的耳朵真的好溫馨

謝謝你們!

我發現到.. I found out..

2009-08-03T21:12:00.002+08:00

....................

工作時

當你開始忙起來，你會忘記做的事情的目的是什麼
當你忘記做的每一件事情的目的，你會失去自我
當你你失去自我，你就像沒有了靈魂

When you start working..

You start to be too busy,
you tend to forget the purpose of what you are really doing.
When you forget what you are doing, used to the routines,
you tend to lose your passion and yourself.
When you lose yourself, everything becomes automatic
you are like a human without a soul.

I decided not to work like this forever..

A Patriotic Incident

2009-08-02T00:08:00.009+08:00

I'm not exactly a patriotic person, but is pretty fun to go on such events with great company.

Watching fellow people waving the flags in their hands..

Says Happy Birthday!

In the sea of love..

Amazing Fireworks to end off the whole event..

走啊走..

2009-08-01T03:31:00.001+08:00

想吹吹風
前几天和中學朋友相約到海邊玩直排輪

我比較喜歡在平日到海邊這樣的地方
週末太多人了，太吵雜
吹着海風，聊聊天
想到如果開始工作（normal 9-6 office work）
要很隨行的，與朋友出來走走
還蠻困難的

談到各自的生活
他們也快畢業了

八月份會暫時結束自己的假期
過後不知道還會不會有這樣隨行的一天？

Patches of Travel - Melbourne 墨爾本之旅 Part 3

2009-07-31T12:36:00.009+08:00

I love walking on the streets with my classmates when the weather isn't too cold. We will always make use of the time when we have, exploring the different streets in Melbourne, taking lots and lots of pictures.

Is really nice to see how art is immersed into their culture. You'll probably get caught and fined in Singapore if you do something like this on any of the property.

Horse Carriages. You'll nv find in Singapore as well.

Had a chance to go out of the suburbs areas of Melbourne. Farmhouse. Great Ocean Road. Philip Island!

sunset at great ocean road.

但無論其他世界的角落有多好，都比不上家好。。

Patches of Travel - Melbourne 墨爾本之旅 Part 2

2009-07-31T01:14:00.007+08:00

Yes. This post came abit too late.
Was browsing through the photos and decided to continue from the last entry before this holiday ends.
I REALLY love market trips and visit those small dessert shops at the roadside. They have the most yummili-cious desserts, breads, chocolates, coffee, tea..

But yeah, food in Australia is kinda a way-off budget issue even for a simplest meal.
i love the transport in Melbourne too. The tram rides! one of the transport with the oldest history, not forgetting the subways and century old railway stations.

It's funny to see all sorts of people and their expressions during tram rides..

ps: Oh, i am missing their desserts already..

改變或許是美

2009-07-22T21:33:00.010+08:00

花了兩天的時間整理了書桌和書櫃
丟了很多中學，甚至是小學朋友給的小禮物
收了好多年，一直捨不得丟

這次再次翻起了旧東西
會記得哪一些禮物是誰送的
很多都是失去連絡的朋友
一絲淡淡的記憶
發現到對某些事物已經沒感情了
決定，就只想留着記憶

人不斷的更新，改變求進步
我們得到了某個目標，為了追求更高的，更美好的
往往忘記了當初的本

我想讓自己找回來
領略到簡單就是美

人也常常問身邊的人是否發現到自己的改變
有沒有想過為什麼會問呢？

同學說過，趁年輕，就冲一冲..
好想這麼做..
大家冲吧！

* Mr yf said Singapore is only affected 3.63% by 日全蝕, so darken skys might due to the rain and heavy clouds.

I love breakfast!

2009-07-14T12:17:00.009+08:00

昨晚突然有股衝動
今天想早起跟爸媽一起吃早餐（因為工作關係，習慣晚睡晚起，所以早起對我而言真的很費勁）
想吃早餐的念頭真的把我從三個小時的睡眠叫醒。
吃了我最喜歡的菜頭果（i wonder why they call 'carrot cake' like this in chinese)
滿足！

having a good breakfast really can make one's mood liven up for the day.

last thurs miss hl and miss ep surprised me by coming to the grad event.
thanks girls! thanks for climbing up the 138 stairs, panting, just to give me yr support.
miss hl is in china now.. thanks for the sunflower. i'm waiting for u to come back. =)
and of cuz miss ep, our skating dates will come soon!

and thank u many others who came or having the thought to come.. =)

2009-07-13T00:02:00.006+08:00

在這個炎熱的季節
想好好休息一陣子
整理一下心情。。

想重新再來

閱讀書籍好像是個不錯的選擇。。
i've started to read up some books
now i know why miss cel says it's hard to let go a book when u start reading it.

it's so addictive!

*current book
Rich Dad, Poor Dad

華語

2009-07-11T14:17:00.002+08:00

Some of you might wonder why do i blog in chinese, or even feel turn off when you see chinese characters appearing. We're being brought up in the environment where English dominates, and can't deny, this language really brought lots of conveniences in our lives.

Since young, Chinese is 1 subject which friends around me hated the most. What they fear were memorizing the strokes in every character. But I think this is the beauty of this language.

大家說華語吧！

Life

2009-06-21T12:40:00.005+08:00

buibui 前兩天也走了
managed to see him till its last breath
feel weird without my 2 hamsters around
sometimes i will still walk around the cage unknowingly..

lifecycle.
applies to humans too
treasure it. really.

Distractions

2009-06-17T17:17:00.009+08:00

整天都沒辦法乖乖的呆在電腦面前做作業
一直在分心

遊覽了很多網站
做有的沒的
一下子跑去看媽媽在煮什麼
一下子跑去看buibui
(buibui是我養的倉鼠。自從自從另一只死了後，總是怕buibui會寂寞。它應該會寂寞吧？)

這幾天又失眠了
夜晚拼命的在思考
最近一直在想著什麼東西是對自己有價值的
當然一定是包括親人，朋友。。
對某些人可能是物質上的，名牌包包，車子，古董。。

梦想呢？
梦想也是人活著的意義吧

很慶幸自己能做喜歡的
但好像總覺得少了什麼。。
找不到。。

Quotes and Phrases

2009-06-05T00:20:00.010+08:00

A friend intro me to this website.
http://icanread.tumblr.com

interesting quotes and it's kinda cool how they play with typography against images and illustrations.
simple and straightforward. love it.

童年

2009-05-31T23:45:00.007+08:00

謝謝朋友們的生日祝福
總覺得時間過很快
我已經不在是那長不大的小不點（though my height hasn't change since donkey years ago.. =P）

這世界的腳步都好快，還是我太慢了？

為什麼我們總為‘不夠時間’而煩惱？
因為我們不懂怎麼去計畫好自己僅有的時間？
還是我們的野心太過重，一次過想完成太多事。。

小時候如果媽媽能帶我們去吃個漢堡, 就能讓我們開心一整天
長大後要的東西不同了
得到了卻找不到童年所感受到的快樂

長大確實殘酷
但我還是相信人的心里還是有純真，不想長大的一面
這也許是好的。。

想回到那無憂無慮的童年。。

Patches of Travel - Melbourne 墨爾本之旅 Part 1

2009-05-23T16:53:00.012+08:00

到墨爾本的第一個早晨
一下飛機就被秋天的葉子著迷了
怎麼這麼美啊？＝）
mesmerized by the autumn leaves the moment i stepped out of the airport..

這裡的人說秋天要結束了
冬天來的比預期還快
還好冬裝準備夠足
they said that autumn is ending earlier unexpectedly
luckily i've prepared enough warm clothes to last me for the whole trip

其實是我第一次到有四季的國家
這次旅行的目的是要和這裡的同學做交流
但慶幸還是有蠻多的時間自由活動
purpose of this trip is for a school exchange with the local students
but we have quite abit of time for sightseeing
immersing in their culture

放下了行李就到處閒逛
街頭冷冷清清
才恍然大悟那天是星期天
人都呆在家裡了吧
our first day was a sunday
that is why the streets are kinda cheerless in this cold weather
unlike Singapore, the people here stays at home on Sundays

閒逛的途中經過了很多有趣的graffiti alleys
這個在新加坡是看不到的
lots of graffiti alleys here, which you can't find in Singapore

到處都是古老的建築物..
historical buildings everywhere..

我知道我已經愛上了這裡..

Back Home

2009-05-17T23:52:00.004+08:00

Yes. I'm back from Hong Kong.
3 weeks out of home doesn't seems to be a short one.
melbourne. macau. hongkong.
till the last week, i've already gotten used to being out..

不是不想家
只是能旅行的機會并不多
所以有機會
會選擇往外跑

喜歡旅行是能接觸不同文化的環境
能捕捉漂亮的照片

旅行時的不安
陌生的面孔和街頭
心裡卻有種想冒險的感覺

人對任何事物的心態就是這樣..

shall post up pictures i've taken during my trips sometime soon..

Patches of Travel - Melbourne 墨爾本之旅

2009-05-06T23:43:00.008+08:00

秋天的墨爾本
應該是第十二天了
過兩天就會回新加坡

有點矛盾
另一邊的我好想家
另外一邊有好想多感受一下這裡的文化

回新加坡隔一天又得飛去香港
雖然身邊的人都勸我別去
但自己会照顧身體。。＝）

2009-04-21T23:22:00.009+08:00

Tokyo Metropolitan Orchestra was in town for performance for their world tour last week..
多次只是看過管弦樂的演出
這是第一次看交響樂的表演
還有鋼琴演奏

差別就是交響樂多了弦琴，少了鼓聲
聽起來比較柔吧

自己還是比較喜歡轟隆隆的鼓聲
有好幾次聽著鋼琴演奏好想睡覺
不是不好聽
是自己對古典音樂的細胞還沒啓蒙吧＝P

好想念在高中參加管弦樂的日子
想念跟朋友玩音樂的感覺

to my fellow bandmates..
most probably you guys feel the same i guess?

2009-04-11T21:12:00.016+08:00

some sneak pictures taken during the 3days shoot that took place last week.

3 mascots together!

walking along the busy streets of Orchard Road

Sentosa. kinda like this effect on the photo.
*photo credits to Raymond

剛喝了媽媽煮的綠豆湯
好好喝！＝D

接下來兩個星期會有好多東西要完成
疲憊了，但好過整天盯着電腦
腦里卻一片空白

有事做總是好的
大家加油吧！

太陽 Immortal

2009-04-06T00:45:00.008+08:00

鬆了一口氣
结束了那三天的拍攝
大家都放了一百個心去完成
都辛苦了！

前天去了indoor stadium看了陳綺貞－太陽演唱會
期待了好久。。
喜歡她對音樂的執著
旋律總是讓人著迷
歌詞總是讓人沉思

沒有絢麗的舞台
人群就是冲着真摯的音樂而來
這次演唱會的主題是太陽
太陽總是无条件的，不眠不休的維護着我們

主題告訴我們
每個人心中都有個太陽
可能你為任何人做了一件小事
就已經被他們牢牢記住

所以如果你感覺到疲憊
失去了方向
不要感到害怕，繼續往前
因為其實你在謀個時刻
已經成為別人的太陽

身邊的人都是我心靈的太陽
那我又是誰的太陽？

are you still searching for your sun?

ps: feel kinda pity that i couldn't get the leaves which drop from the top during one of the songs..
好可惜！

時間 time

2009-03-31T01:46:00.016+08:00

身理時鐘顛倒
郁悶。。。

好像比較能在夜里工作
但自己并非喜歡晚起床
總覺得那天會過的很快

有時會覺得睡覺好浪費時間
如果能用睡的時間來做更多的事情
既不是更好？

聽別人說睡覺占了人生的三分之一
另外三分之一的时间是在走路
最後的三分之一才是屬於自己的
那你在這8小時做了甚麼呢？

是有意義的？喜歡的？精彩的？
無聊的？討厭的？

也常常想突然有一天我病了
或者親人病了
一定會想要調轉時間
希望自己完成未完成的事情

原來人生只有三分之一
記得要珍惜，追尋。。
我也正在努力啊。。

Will i ever succeed in life? Doing things that i like? Love and be loved?
Sometimes i'll get emotional while thinking about all these stuffs..
Let's all constantly remind ourselves to cherish and and pursue!

過兩天有一連三天的拍攝
為了學校畢業的event
答應同學當其中一個mascot
自己也好想嘗試一下
希望拍攝會順利！

Casual Poet 隨意詩人

2009-03-29T00:00:00.001+08:00

Classmates brought me to CasualPoet a couple of days ago. Fell in love with the place the moment i enter.

This is the kind of place i always dream of spending my day in!
A taste of coffee, soft music, laughing, indulging myself in the work..
It'll be perfect if i spend my everyday like that..

前兩天和同學們去了隨意詩人咖啡店
簡單的木製裝璜
淡淡咖啡香
柔和的音樂
一踏進去就愛上了！

連每一個菜单都是独特的！
咖啡店也售卖独立书籍，音乐唱片，自製日记簿等..
好喜歡..

就這樣，和同學們認真工作，一杯咖啡陪伴我整個下午..

Fresh Start

2009-03-27T20:24:00.004+08:00

This will be a fresh start of my ramblings, encounters, design-ology, music and arts..

打開新的一頁
又是新的開始
向往簡單
向往自由
如果能用詞語來述說
好想把自己的人生寫成一本童話故事

Don’t you guys yearn for a life like a fairytale at times?
