Rude welcome back

Took the train at 10am this morning; and it was packed like sardines in a can.
The barrier at the station is done up; automated (need to burn more fuel) somemore.
So, did I hear everyone claiming to have energy saving stuffs? Green environment etc? Then what's the heck about spend so much money doing up the barrier? Might well use the money and operate more train service to ease the jam?
Stop telling me about safety feature when the commuters did not practice safely; because I have seen places where there are no barriers and things just work well.

While in the train; I just simply hate it...
Tell me about MP taking the train and praised that it is very good.
Gosh, did he/she take train during the peak (Oh BTW, 10am is NOT peak hours)?
Did he/she try to take train without some pre-arrangement? Those "iron rice bowl" people will definitely arrange nicely what. It don't need rocket scientist to figure that theory.

Yes, we cannot afford cars but we paid for the transport! So, shouldn't we deserve what we need? Not crowded train where that AxxHxxx underpit is just next to my face.
Also, there are plenty of elderly in the train; where those young idiots sitting down there and pretending to be asleep.

Now, what frustrated me was:-
Need barriers so that people will not push someone off the track?
Need posters (that does not work) to remind people to give up their seats to needy?
Isn't that obvious that the moral and culture of Singapore is WRONG somewhere?
What happen to the education system?
Where is the "hao gong ming"?
Why everyone just blindly follows the wrong path?
Where is everyone's conscience? "Eaten by dog?"

My nice friend says to me (after my fxxx complaint):- "Welcome back to Singapore".

Girl power!

I am back to Singapore!! For a whole 2 weeks!!!
This is the first time since I started the job; where I’ll be home for such a long time.

Travelling back to SGO was a good start.
We got upgraded to business class (Yeah!!!) and my colleages claimed that I have "girl power"... because all 3 of us got upgrade to business. I think what we have to do is to ask; nothing to do with girl power.
The service, food, seats are way much better than the economy.
Service: the stewardess addresses you by last name - Miss Tay (wooo..). They bring you water when you woke you from nap; no need to ask!
Food: Food is served in proper utensils and they taste really yummy
Seat: 50% more spacious than economy and may be extended all the way down - like a bed.
Now, I think I am hook to the premium but no way I can afford.

Oh ya, I ordered a SLR through the US website… and it arrived the same day as I touched down SGP. Another plus point to be home!!!
Question is whether I will have time to play with it. Hehee…

Merry Christmas...taken with my phone @ Darling Harbour.

Sinful but damn good

Had this for dinner.
非常好吃; 不过肥死我!!!!!

Swim or drown?

Head for my first Sydney beach swim today.
Weather was good ~25C... with very chilly water. Took me about 5min before I brave into the water.
The plan was to try surfing but the beach (Bulli, about 90min drive) that we head to... has no surf board for rent. So, that's it - just swim in the nice cold water with great waves.

Initial part was great... I was enjoying the swim with current pushing and pulling me in and out of the shore...
Within seconds, I was been pulled farther from the shore and into a deep depth by the strong undercurrent. And no matter how hard I tried, I just can't get any nearer and it does seem that I can't make it.
For a minute, I was wondering if I should give up and get myself drown. I did wanted so much because... In my life, there has been incidents after incidents where I struggled so much and hard to fight and live on.
When will be the day that I give up?
Anyway, I didn't really panic; maybe I knew I can't and cannot afford to. ALso, it was too much for me to give up now...
I continued to swim.... of course I made it else I wouldn't be writing my blog now. :)
And I did not quit just like that; I stayed in the water much longer - to have a good time....
The price? I got a really bad sunburn and uneven tan :(

View from the Grand Pacific Drive:

Illusion or not?

A thought just trigger yesterday.
I saw a number of people (married/attached) displaying their "family/couple" photo in the laptop wall paper, wallet, desk photo frame, etc.
I can't help wondering.... why people bother to display the illusion of a happy famly/couple when they cheat on the partner?
Sorry, maybe I am negative but I have seen quite bit to know that nothing is a perfect family/couple.

Ok, I getting ready to head for the beach...and turn into a roast pig.
Hope you will enjoy your weekend.

Fishes...

Mmmm...I like to go back for more of this... it's FUN

Timing - an role

Yesterday, I drove to the airport again.
The day before, using the same route and time - I witness a beautiful sunset.
However, yesterday was a raining day with plenty of lighting. I will say it was another beautiful sight.... the lighting struck across the dark cloudy sky...wow..

Also, I used the same route to/fro the airport.
It was smooth traffic while heading to airport.
But there was an accident on the way back.... same route!

How irony can that be? Same route but at a different timing gave me 2 extreme view and feel.
This apply to life as well. You can be the same person and assume no change in you... however what happen to you, will be dramatically change in an instant.
Do you have control over what happen?
Timing play an important to us and it affects what happen around us.

Ok, talk about my scary "6-sense" again....
While driving in the rain; I will picturing myself seeing an accident....
And indeed that I saw one an hour later... Gosh!

The other day, I took a stroll near my place and wished to see bunny.
Usually I got to see them only after dark; but that day, I saw >10 bunnies jumping around... in broad day light.
How lucky can I be?

No wonder, some people say "be careful of what you wish for".
Are you wishing for anything now?
Me? I don't know... maybe have a try on sailing? :-)

Never the same sunset

This evening, while I was driving to the airport; I saw a beautiful sunset... It really awesome and perfect! I don't know how to use words to describe it.
For a moment, I felt so lucky as I was at the right place and moment to enjoy that.
In the same time, I was sad that I am leaving this ground soon. The clock is tickling
Nothing can turn the time back nor slow the time down.
It's really true that we only live once and thus we have to enjoy every single moment.

Say if tomorrow I were to drive pass the same route; I might not get the same scene again.

Manly beach

Today, I went on a family day trip with a friend's family. Yes, I imposed as part of the family member. The reason? I will able to purchase the ticket at only A$2.50.
The family day ticket has unlimited access to ferries, trains and buses; and the routes cover all the way till blue mountain.
However, one thing I find it weird is that the condition of a "family" is - at least a kid is involved. What happen to a married couple?

We took train to the city and then hopped into the ferry to Manly beach.
It was a beautiful day so the beach was packed with people surfing, swimming, sun bathing, picnic, etc…

Topless babes sun bathing is a norm
Babes in bikini and topless hunks walking down the street are eye candy
Kissing, Hugging and Make out session are everyway.
All I can say is “Welcome to Sydney”!

I envy the families. The parents are constantly giving hugs and kisses, even the kids are around.
Very rarely that you can find such act in an asian culture; which I don’t understand why. What wrong about showing affection and love?

10 things to do

I was reading an article from a local magazine and found this. But I think you can find it almost everywhere in the net.

10 things to do:
1. Spend time on your own.
I absolutely agreed. I mean I very much enjoy having a good company but I definately am also the kind that need quality "alone time"; especially a tiring week of work :)

2. Live with flatmates.
Yes, yes, yes! I think one has to live with others (other than family). This way you learn to be more tolerant and independent(?). The world isn't all about just you and no maid or mum to help with your washing.

3. Get money smart.
Easier said than done. But make sure start with no debt.
I remembered that I worked hard to clear my debt... When the debt free day came; the feeling was (and still is) wonderful and light weighted. I told myself - I have to avoid debt. That is why I don't like installment (minus home loan?) if I can afford; else I rather not buy.

4. Travel alone.
I have done that pretty often. Only then, I realize the joy of having a partner/friend in tour.

5. Find great friends.
Yes, yes!!

6. Have you own hobbies
So why you think I learn diving? Am planning to get a SLR to start the new thingy...(Need to save some money first)

7. Make peace with your parents
Errrr....

8. Mend your broken heart
Consider done.

9. Exercise body love
Complain is still there but I think I should live with my own body.
It's me after all. I have control over it.

10. Learn how to orgasm - by yourself.
Hahaha... where does this come from?
Maybe should start buying vibrator for me and the girls? Do you want one? hahaa...

How ticks do you have?


I don't really like green apples... but I like the sour green apple gum. hehee.. controversy
