some thoughts that strike..

When I don't blog or post anything down HERE, it doesn't mean that my life is so bore I got nothing to blog about.
-----------------------

Had a long conversation with YShin yesterday at Starbucks HV. Cosy nice little conversation. Blend, but always close to one's heart. Despite the fact that she might be out of love anytime soon =( Hope she'll get over it soon.

-----------------------

TV pragrammes nowadays just sucks. And there ain't any nice movies around recently. I just can figure out why my colleagues always go back home right after work 'coz there are 'nice programmes' at night. Erm. Maybe? But for all the time I'm not someone who always get attached to what showed on TV.

-----------------------

I'm crazily over Wilber Pan now. It's funny 'coz I think... Erm yea right.. I was thinking if I'm too old for that. After all he's only 26, which mean he's only slightly older than me. Ha. My colleague CMaHB said she just don't understand this. Actually neither do I. I just think that when he rap he gets real cool like Sisqo? -grinz- I will say I'm crazy, 'coz for a ngiau-kia like me, I actually spent around 15 bucks for cab, which gets me to NTU just to see Pan Weibo. Hahahaa-- I guess people, erm, my colleagues especially, already get bore with my 'cheer' of "PAN WEI BO HEN SHUAI!!!" Wahaha-- Sometimes you need to shout out things that you thought at the mean time you're actually destressing? Hahaha sound a bit irrational. Well I'm just making up story =p

-----------------------

I bump into my ex-colleague last time when I was part-timing at Sushi Tei HV. My ex-classmate KTehBJ is getting marry soon. With another ex-colleague of mine. Going to ROM for registration next month I heard? I hope I won't get the invitation too last minute or else I won't to able to fork out sum of money for the ang pow? Oh well, I might not be getting any invitaion at all. It's a shot-gun wedding. Less people, less explanation. At the mean time, I just pretend I never heard anything.

-----------------------

Technically, I just can't transfer files from my mobile to my com. All the photos taken with the phone remain in the phone memory, while those songs I download from the internet remain in com. It still despairs me a lot when I think about the laptop those bloddy f***er took/stole/whatever-shit-you-call. So now I had to bear with this 8-year old com. Oh well, at least I can use it to log on to internet and do simple blogging, provided I'm patient enough to wait for one page load at one time. -Patience testing in progress- How damn it.

-----------------------

I went for JTanKS birthday chalet just now. I guess for most of the people getting into adulthood is something quite memorable. I don't deny that but again I also don't understand why people just love to have chalet and chalet all the times when they birthday? I figure out 'coz most of the Singaporean family won't manage to have party/celebration at own home 'coz it's either too small or it'll be too troublesome to have all the clean-up after the guests leave. And again 'coz Singapore it's too small, this kind of chalet thing is always being held at particular place like Downtown East or Pasir Ris chalet. East coast is somewhat relatively inaccessible. For this month alone, I went for Downtown East, twice. Please, think of some other places can?

--------------------------

I guess I would be out of job 10 years down the road if I do stick with Cyto. There is this Dr Swaroop (oops, not sure if I got the spelling correct) came and gave some talks on the new technique in which laboratories in States are using now, the CGH arry to detect addition and deletion of genes, and the correlation of it to diseases, mostly those inherited one, especially when it involves microdeletion in which it's sometimes to hard to be detected by the convention karyotyping means. While technology in States developing fast, we in Singapore one don't even manage to have IFISH done. How ironic. Oh well, people will start telling you "We are in Singapore the population is small" Oh well oh well.

-------------------------

Whether is to continue study or not really depends on myself. Am I ready? A part-time one or a full-time one? To stay in SG or do it at some other countries like Aussie or NZ? If is to do in other countries, do I have enough 'reserve'?
I will continue study for sure. But it does look like I'm really not ready. Yet.

-------------------------

I'm listening to Wilber latest album now. Track #3 is making me feels like falling in love again. Though I'm not too sure if I'm up for it. =) Will see.

我是"爱"而不是"喜欢"... 为什么?


当我站在你的面前,心跳会加速;
当和你四目交投,会害羞;
当和你对话,会觉得难以启齿; 而不能畅所欲言.
当你哭,我会陪你一起哭; 却不会技巧地安慰你.

喜欢,是一种心情 ; 爱,是一种感情.
喜欢,是一种直觉 ; 爱,是一种感觉.
喜欢,可以停止 ; 爱,没有休止 .
喜欢一个人,特别自然 ; 爱一个人,特别坦然 .
喜欢一个人,有时候盼和他在一起 ; 爱一个人,有时候怕和他在一起 .
喜欢一个人,不停的和他争执 ; 爱一个人,不停的为他付出 .
喜欢一个人,希望他可以随时找到自己 ; 爱一个人,希望可以随时找到他 .
喜欢一个人,总是为他而笑 ; 爱一个人,总是为他而哭 .
喜欢,是值得 ; 爱,是执着.
喜欢就是喜欢,很简单 ; 爱就是爱,很复杂.
喜欢你,却不一定爱你 ; 爱你,就一定很喜欢你 .

You and Your Boss: The Subtle Differences

From http://theenglishonline.com

If you take a long time, you're slow.
But if your boss takes a long time, he's thorough.
If you don't do it, you're lazy.
But if your boss doesn't do it, he's too busy.

If you make a mistake, you're a goober.
But if your boss makes a mistake, he's 'only human'.
If you take a stand, you're being bull-headed.
But if your boss does it, he's being firm.
If you overlooked a rule of etiquette, you're rude.
But if your boss skips a few fule, he's being original.
If you do something without being told, you're stepping your authority.
But if your boss does the same thing, he's taking initiative.
If you're on a day off sick, you're 'always' sick.
But if your boss is a day off sick, he must be very sick.
If you're out of the office, you're wondering around.
But if your boss is out of the office, he's on business.
If you apply for leave, you must be going on interview.
But if your boss applies leave, it's because he's overworked.


But it doesn't really apply to my job, which is good I guess? ;)
