Jeans don't fit

Alright, the sign of putting on weight has shown - jean cannot be button up; loose shirt are tight now.
Ok, I know - I will need to do more exercise now. But morning is early and cold to run; but evening is dark and cold when I got back (the daylight saving is in now).
Maybe is the weather - really cold so I tend to eat alot more....
Also, the nice yummy ice cream are such a huge temptation.
Strange that I didn't want rum and raisin any more; I have chose macadamia, rocky road, very berry strawberry, etc over it.
I think I amd just spoiled for choice.... afterall, I don't have to stick to one only. Satisfaction is still there when I have other favors.
I guess I am wrong when I claimed that my "all time" favourite is rum and raisin. People change; so as the taste bud.

Oh, since both my sunglasses are spoiled; I bought a new one today - Oroton.
Err... I look "so-so" in it... then why buy? Because it is cheap - it was $190; now $50.
Others were much more expensive.

BBQ

After a whole week of raining; finally we have some decent "non-rain" weather.
Our team just had a BBQ at my place.
It was nice to do BBQ in a weather of 14C..
I heard that Singapore is really hot and humid now... so; don't envy me ok.
Raining and cold don't really come any much handy; but of course, I think this would be better than hot and sweaty.
Wondering how is my Racer doing now. Hope he is well.

Thought of the day: People will change before you even notice.

Krispy creme

It was raining the whole day - on/off.
Went to the city with colleagues; we just walked around darling habour and circular quay.
As I had been there before so nothing is new. Mmm... they don't change much.
Well, I did have a double scoops ice-cream - the sinful rocky road and very berry strawberry.
Maybe it's the windy weather, the ice cream melted so fast that it was all over my hand.
I ate like a messy kid... but I do truely enjoyed it. Yummy...

Oh, did I mentioned that I ate the krispy creme too? The last time I had it was in '05 at San Diego... another yummy. oops!!!

Eat and eat

I think I have jetlag when I came to Sydney.
Usually I don’t drink coffee; but I do now, as I wasn’t able to wake up in the morning and wasn’t able to stay awake in the morning.
How is life here? Like that lor.
I have no car so transportation is very dependent on colleagues. So, no more night adventures as well.

Oh, the lunch is usually packed from home – so for me is sandwich lor or leftover from the dinner.

Gosh, I think I will put on weight again. Maybe is the cold weather; I have been eating >8 times a day
1. Wake up: Full cream milk + bread with butter
2. Breakfast at work: Coffee + biscuit
3. Lunch: Sandwich (Thick cheese with ham) + Banana
4. Tea break: Bread with butter
5. Snack: Chocolate + Chips
6. Before dinner: Sushi
7. Dinner: Fried rice or dinner at colleague place
8. Watching TV: Yogurt + biscuit
9. Before sleep: Warm full cream milk

How is work? I am blur like sotong. Jialet... :(

Laughter :-)

As per friend’s recommendation, I watched the "Handsome Suit".
It is a comedy show and its fun...I’m glad that there are "comedy" shows in this era.
It helps people to relax the face muscle with laughter. Well done!

Tomorrow, I am heading to Sydney. Nervous but am also excited about the trip.
A friend has warned me about putting weight while I am there.
Mmmm... I will try to control my diet but you will never know.
My Australia experiences have been – sure 100% will put on weight ah. So siao liao lah
Well...I will try to exercise lor but the weather getting colder leh....

Haiz… I am going to miss some people and my doggy again...
Take care.

Nightmare

Gosh, I haven't been sleeping well these days.
Kept having the similar dream which are like a nightmare to me.
Maybe that is why I gain weight.... or maybe is the junk that I ate at home.
Therefore, I seek refudge at the library today. To stay away from home, from my room.
So tired....

Time flew Fast... real fast.
It has been more than a month that I wasn't working.
Next week, I am off to Sydney and hopefully, my engine will kick off steady.

Killing spree

When you read the papers, you can find at least an article about killing spree.
It's sad to read such news when ONE "mastermind" killed the family or innocent parties.
Does it really help by killing others and then suicide?

In a family, maybe the parents do not want the kids to suffer alone after they leave this world; thus they choose to murder the kids?
In a victim environment, maybe the killer just want vent the anger and hope that the society will relook at their case.
Still, I don't think any "killing" method will help. Mindset is hard to change.
Here're two articles that happened in the states:

Does anyone notice that Singapore is trying to promote courtesy campaign?
For goodness sake... this is a sign that Singaporean is simply bo chap (errr... which is true)
But the basic moral of being courtesy has to be promote?
What has the world become? Selfish? kia-su?

Maybe you were thinking if I dislike this place so much, why am I still here.
Again... it bottom down to choice.... my mum is here..as well as some good friends.
Also, this is the reason why I love to travel so much. Not saying I prefer to be at other places; just that....
Travel broaden our view and knowledge... seeing how others handle the environment, situation, people, etc.
Some places may be worse from Singapore - it will make you feel more appreciative.
Some places may be better - it will help you to learn.

I was talking to friends who don’t understand why I am touring the developing countries such as Vietnam/Cambodia. She prefers developed places such as Japan where there are shopping and clean toilets.
Also, during my last trip to Vietnam; there was a couple of Singaporean teenagers who refused to use the rural toilet which is by my standard are very well off compared to some "other places". At least the toilet has a flush system.
I think it is true that the youngster will not able to survive any hardship. Of course, they can argue that they have a choice now - Singapore is well off and they can choose to tour at better places next time...
They are not entirely wrong.... but when they "fall" in term of academy or social status; can they survive?

Thief in toilet?

Today, I was at IMM....err... and I saw an interesting warning label in the ladies toilet (yes, inside the cubicle).
How can one steals from the next cubicle? How skillful is the thief? wow....

This "little sign" triggers me to think... how bad does it feel when one betrays you? When one breaks your trust? Also, how will the betrayer feels?

Some may say - depend how bad the "betray" is ....
To me? A betray is a betray... the victim is likely to feel bad/sad for forever/long time. While, the betrayer will feel guilty. So why make things so difficult?

Some may say - a betray to you might not mean the same to others. I guess it depend on the moral value of that person's mind.

How does one defines the moral of human being? How you tell the difference between right and wrong?
To me? You just know it. Guilt is there when you betray... no matter what. Just that some people can live with the guilt while some cannot. Some will try to redeem via doing good deeds... Also, sadness is there when you have been betray (especially by someone that you trust)... and the recovery is not any easy at all.

My thought is that being able to acknowledge the guilt, apologize for the action and learn from it; are very important. The "victim" will have to acknowlegdt the betray, standup and move on.
What are your thoughts?

Day 1

Mmm... Today is my first day of work - Yeah, starting work on April's Foo...What's a good start!
So, how's the day? Great! (Since, I am working from home).
The scope? Mainly on setting up email account, read some material and that's it.
This is so called honeymoon period. Enjoy while I can as I know more work is on the way.

It's the April's fool. I remember that I used to play trick on my classmates when I was in school... but no longer do this anymore... too old for that?
A few friends tried to play tricks on me today... Nice for them to "remember" me as a easy target. hahaa

It was a bad day as well - Gosh, mum complained about dad again...
Why my dad never learnt his lesson.
Why my dad can't be a "normal" dad?
I really envy others dad who care about the family well being. So, if you have a caring dad... do note that you are very very lucky and please treasure it.
I cannot find any more reason why he is "like that". Maybe in the previous life, I owned him so I am here to repay the debts? Maybe he wasn’t guide properly when he was young? Maybe he just wants to take things for granted? Maybe… Maybe… what else?
If there is god; if there is Buddha; if there is spirit of grandparents... please help to guide dad...before this family breaks. I think patience is running out.
Haiz…I wish I can break free...
