For YQ...

YQ, this posting is for you...

My dear buddy, I was really happy to meet you for dinner today. It has been such a long time since we last met, it was so long ago that I can't remember when... Anyway, although our dinner was at a food court but in the end, it didn't matter. It was the conversation, catching up on each other lives and your sharing that mattered...

My dear friend, I just want to tell you that you do and deserve someone better. You gave a lot and I believe that one day you will receive it back. You will find someone that will love you for who you are, appreciate you and love you just as much as you love her. Leave the past behind and look forward to a new day, a new friend, a new life... You may not be the best looking person around nor are you the richest but you have a heart that is filled with love and you never hesitate to give it to someone you love, so I believe, one day you will receive the same measure back. My dear buddy and friend, I'll always support you!

只对你有感觉

Another new song! I like the lyrics of this song, very sweet and tells of a couple very much in love with each other... 只对你有感觉 by 飞轮海 and Hebe...

无解的眼神心像海底针
光是猜测我食欲不振
有点烦人又有点迷人
浪漫没天份反应够迟钝
不够谨慎花挑错颜色
但很矛盾喜欢你的笨
微笑再美再甜不是你的都不特别
眼泪再苦再咸有你安慰又是晴天
靠的再近再贴少了拥抱就算太远
全世界只对你有感觉
玩的再疯再野你瞪一眼我就收敛
马路再宽再远只要你牵就很安全
我会又乖又黏温柔体贴绝不敷衍
我只对你有感觉
体贴却黏人爱哭却温顺
有时天真有时很邪恶
对你耍狠就是舍不得
请吸收养分让脑袋平衡
要你现身动作慢吞吞
怎么承认我非你不可

Hung up on titles?

Are you hung up on titles?

Are you happy only when people address you as "brother so-and-so" or "sister so-and-so"?

Well... The big boss has spoken. No more addressing of each other "brother so-and-so" and "sister so-and-so" in the church anymore.

It ain't a problem for me... "Sister Charlene" sounds old to me. I'm happy just to be known as Charlene!

白色巨塔

前两天看完了由言承旭主演的白色巨塔。原以为只是一般的连续剧,可是看完之后却感触良多。白色巨塔原本是一部日剧,因此我以为台版的也会以同样的方式呈现,不过我错了。它完全脱离了日版的白色巨塔,反而以自己的方式和故事延伸了这部戏。总共39集,看到我要疯了。。。

在那白色巨塔里,各个都是穿着白袍的医师。但在那白袍后面,许多人是抱着自己的理想和抱负,甚至不惜一切,以病人的生命当成赌注。为了争一个院长的位置,一个外科主任的位置,这些医师竭尽所能的表现自己,忘了自己为何当初要当医师。可是,在这之中,仍然有一些医师没忘记自己的本分。言承旭主演的苏怡华医师就是一个例子。有着一个正直可人的笑容,从不把病人当成编号反而仔细的记住每一个病人的名字,一切从心里出发。怡华没有想过要当什么院长或主任,但在那恶劣的政治环境中却被卷入其中,成为一个棋子。虽然爬上了最高的位置,但却从来没有失去本性。怡华很深情,自始至终还是爱着一个人 — 关欣。两人始终无法在一起,唯一能做的是郑重的说一声“再见”和给彼此一个深深的祝福。虽然分开,但两人最终还是找到彼此的幸福。生活永远是不完美,但你不顾一切去争时,往往会发现得到之后其实没有怎样,反而失去更多。无法和最爱的人在一起,但能给他一个深深的祝福,或许就是爱着他的方式。

最后,这两句话给我的感触最深。和你分享吧。。。

“大部分的事情并不像表面看起来那么单纯,而人活着,也不一定总是能够自由自在地选择自己喜爱的。”

“人生其实是一场骗局,到最后你就会发现,最重要的都变成不重要的。”

这两句话,引人深思。。。

Mundane?

What is the mundane?

Mundane can used to describe our work, our studies, and in fact our daily lives. Aren't we living the mundane every day? Doing the same things over and over again. Sometimes, there might be problems, obstacles, frustration but as you cross over and get over the problem, you resume your mundane life again. The truth is - we spent most of our time doing the mundane. I won't say that I totally enjoy my work but I love the people and that makes a lot of difference. Wendy and I spoke on the phone last Friday. It is without a doubt that she has learned new things in her new job, found new colleagues and faced new challenges but she felt that people in her workplace take their jobs for granted and felt that her new work was not as significant as what she was doing before. (Wendy, correct me if I am wrong ok?)

Anyway, I didn't really get the significance part until Sunday when Pastor Kong preached about the marketplace. The marketplace, otherwise known as the "secular" to Christians, in fact, means mundane in Greek. So the world out there equals to mundane. Interesting isn't it? People always think that the world is exciting but the church is boring. But this is no longer the case. At least not for City Harvest. Over the years I've been here, we have moved by leaps and bounds, in ways I would never have known but yet, I am still flowing with the church, and very happy to be part of what God is doing over here. So much for significance, this was further amplified when I met a few friends for dinner...

I haven't met this group of friends for quite sometime, so I was really looking forward to seeing them. After a year of not being in contact, all of us were naturally interested to find out what each other was doing. As the night wore on, I started thinking. Not that my friends' work is not important but in terms of significance, I realised that I was doing more. I am not trying to put anyone down but somehow through the conversation, I realised the significance in my work. Reading the newspapers is no longer a chore for me now but rather a necessity. I read beyond them sometimes and I've come to know a lot. In any case, please dun think that I am paid just to read newspapers! I do a lot of things ok?! Anyway... Too much thoughts going on in my mind now. I need to organise. On this topic, so long for now...

Youtube is my new friend!

Hey friends!

Here I am! Blogging again! Yipee! Anyway, one of the reasons for my absence for the past three weeks was because I found a new friend in Youtube! I love Youtube! You can watch a lot of shows on it! So what if each clip is only ten minutes long?! The main thing is that is free (may not be for long cos Google just bought over Youtube and definitely there will be a lot of copyright problems!) and watch it while you still can!!!

Anyway, I watched two drama serials using Youtube. Korean drama - Goong aka Princess Hours and a Taiwanese drama - The Hospital. I almost went crazy watching these drama serials. Me being me, I am impatient and once I get started, I just want to get through the whole show and I won't have a sense of peace until I finish watching it. So I almost went crazy. In fact, I think I did much harm to my eyes. Imagine staring at the computer for hours watching a show. My poor eyes... Never mind, I just bought some eye cream. Hope it reduces the puffiness and dark circles resulting from the late nights staying up to watch the shows.

Watched Goong and was completely blown away. Love the two male leads but especially Yul Goon (thanks to Hui Juan for the collage, I think we are going crazy!) Well, this drama was really fantastic. A little bit like Kim Sam-soon - funny, simple and sweet - something that any sane (but I am going insane!) girl likes. Although the show got a little draggy in the middle but there's fast forward! Shin - the male lead and "Crown Prince" was especially sweet towards the end, sometimes I wished Joshua is just as sweet as well! Haha... I seriously need some sanity!

And yes, I think I am going to get the OST for Goong. The songs very nice...

Song of the moment

Hey guys!

I am back! I know I haven't been blogging for the past three weeks. Well, I was too occupied with watching drama serials and yeah, I had a lot of things to do as well... Anyway, I'll be blogging quite a lot over the next two days to share some thoughts and update things that are going on in my life... In any case, this is my fave song at the moment: 退后 by Jay Chou... I love the lyrics and the melody... Enjoy...

天空灰的像哭过
离开你以后
并没有更自由
酸酸的空气
守住我们的距离
一幕醉心的结局
像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记
找到了回忆
那笑容是傻气
你我的过去
被深深真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情
存心的眼泪是多余
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
全被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错
只是放手比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里带去

If, dun, because...

If it is not edifying... Dun say it... Cos it discourages me...

If you're not concerned... Dun do things that display it... Cos it disappoints me...

If you're not interested... Dun behave as if you are... Cos I can see through it...

If you're not willing... Dun do it... Cos it turns me off...
