unreasonable

"sometimes i feel that you are being unreasonable"

how do you determine if someone is being unreasonable?

on a broader platform, what is the definition of "unreasonable"?

i think we consider people as unreasonable people because their actions doesn't fall in line with what we think is correct reasoning - but that doesn't necessarily mean we are right.

in fact, there is no right and wrong in reasoning.

i like to think it refers to different points of view. and not "unreasonable"

what do you think?

homo silipiens

it's true that people only want to hear what they hear.

how many times have we willingly lied to ourselves after listening to something, even though we might know that half of what's being said is not true.

who doesn't have a personal agenda? and who doesn't enjoy being wooed?

you know the feeling. irritating, but yet curiously wonderful.

this floaty feeling gets powered by the numerous ideas that are put into your mind by those honeyed, calculated words.

don't do this to yourself please. nobody will get hurt in the end but you.

天灰灰的

空灰得像哭过
离开你以后并没有更自由
散散的空气嗅出我们的距离
一幕最新的结局像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记
展开了回忆
那笑容是夏季
你我的过去 悲伤是真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情 粗心眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情会给你带去

天空灰得像哭过
离开你以后并没有更自由
散散的空气嗅出我们的距离
一幕最新的结局像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记
展开了回忆
那笑容是夏季
你我的过去 悲伤是真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情 粗心眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
甜美的爱情回忆里待续
知道你我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情会给你带去

don't forget to give thanks

sometimes we are so surrounded by good fortune that we forget to give thanks.

i was just looking through my gmail inbox. the barrage of emails from the pouting ladies just reminds me of the good old times in hall.

thank you, for still being in touch after graduation. i hope we never change.

then i was looking through my sms inbox. the lots of smses from the ones i love.

thank you, for being a strong support in my life. i hope we never change.

and i was looking through my photos, at the many moments that were snapped down, frozen in time and remembered for eternity.

thank you, for giving me such wonderful memories, through secondary school and university and even now.

then i looked around the table tonight while having dinner, at the wonderful people that i call family.

thank you, for being the base i always needed, for keeping me so grounded.

don't forget to give thanks whenever you can.

a long time

it's been a long long time since i blogged.

for those who didn't know, i've already begun work for two plus months back in the same firm where i did my internship.

it's pretty much the same, just that i have more responsibilities tied to my work now.

the office has pretty much changed from the last time i was there. Glad i was there before, so i had the opportunity to know some really great colleagues who are now fast friends.

the pace of work is picking up rapidly, with projects and events and deadlines lined up tightly without space for me to breathe. although it's a lot of work, and it does get tiring at some point in time, it's really great exposure and training for me to be working with everyone in the office.

i don't want this entry to be just about work, so let's change it here.

i think i've made up my mind. on some stuff that's supposed to happen somewhere down the next five to ten years. maybe it's not that concrete yet, but i think i'm quite sure.

What about you? Do you plan your life and try to see where you will be in the next five to ten years?

this friend of mine is a firm believer of being happy at this point in time. no matter what can and will happen in the next day, month or year. go for what will make you happy now.

do you think so? that being happy now is the most important thing?

it's pretty obvious that i'm rambling away. must have been the overnight mahjong at rayz place last night. :)

work tomorrow. night world.

a moment of silliness

i can't believe how muddle-headed i can be.

on my way home after breakfast today, i felt like something was missing from my wrist. it then suddenly occurred to me that i left my it-was-a-21st-birthday-present-watch at the breakfast place which was all the way in Geylang!

frantic, i took a cab down to the breakfast place to find my watch. all the aunties and uncles there said they didn't see any watch when they cleared the table.

so dejected i went back to my waiting cab and wailed to the uncle, "我的手表不见了!"

some force made me decide to try looking through my huge-ass bag one more time.

and there it was, lying quietly in one small corner of my huge-ass bag.

the cab fare cost me $15.

(-_-")

haha i find it funny myself. Owell at least my birthday watch is still with me! :)

anyway, so this was breakfast today:


Tiny xiaolongbaos in a bamboo steamer

The greedy guy hogging the xiaolongbaos and the jelly beancurd


The breakfast was at a famous dao huey place off Geylang.

Take note that it's a famous dao huey place, and not a famous xiaolongbao place.

Don't order the xiaolongbaos unless you are damn hungry. They look like siew mais (in the greedy man's opinion) and are almost as dry as siew mais.

Nevertheless, it's been a long time since i woke up so early and had some simple breakfast and not brunch. Feels good!:)
