Taboo
An individual who has violated a taboo becomes himself taboo because he has the dangerous property of tempting others to follow his example. He arouses envy; why should he be allowed to do what is prohibited to others? He is therefore really contagious, in so far as every example incites to imitation, and therefore he himself must be avoided. Thus resist first your own temptation!

从台北到北京
We lament the loss of Michael Jackson, but it is only after his death that we begin to grieve and hail him as the "King of Pop". We did hail so for a while in the 80's and 90's, until he was scandalized and we started calling him Wacko Jacko instead.
On a separate note, my appraisal of Jacky Wu is "成功的主持，失败的歌手". He started out as a singer but succeeded only in hosting. He is now an accomplished compere, but this comes at the price of forgoing and deviating from his earlier dream to be a successful singer and more significantly, his image as well. He is known by skeptics and anti-fans as a clown and flirt. Few would recognize him as a comedian in his own right (come on, if he is all so polite, serious, or uptight, how can we expect his programmes to be funny?). We tend to forget the amount of fun and entertainment that we have derived from his variety shows. I think we should at least credit him for having spotted and groomed Jay Chou, whose music we all enjoy. Jacky Wu's very last album will be out in July. This sounds like a more fortunate end (a self-induced/terminated one that is) to his lustrous and illustrious career.
Why must we take things for granted? Why not treasure instead of mourn? Fans who don't voice out their support until their idol is gone are not true fans at all. They are just 事后孔明！
One scandal erases all contributions of the artiste. The society suffers from a low tolerance for mistakes, which it makes spectacles of. The society is also deviod of basic civility and humility. Failure of capitalism, education, parental guidance, or religion?
It is so paradoxical that death yields nothing but the remembrance of the had-lived.
Convenience versus Going-the-extra-mile. That's the difference.
I'm leaving all these man. Had enough of such nonsense. Bye!

Day at the Aquarium
The aquarium at Kending is just as good as the one on Sentosa. Saw many fishes and penguins. It is an inconvenient truth that many of their peers are being wiped out by the thousands elsewhere. It is however better to be a penguin because the penguin eats fish. To the poor fishes: humans are the other penguin.

Vacation at Kending
There is a shop known as "Xiao Du Bao Zi" famous for its delectable steamed buns. The buns are humongous and really delicious, but I have never been a great fan of buns.
Kending is really beautiful. Had seen sunflowers everywhere.
It was coincidental that Peggy happened to be in Kending too for her fieldtrip. We met in the evening to make best use of the coincidence.
I am considering shutting this blog down for good. Lethargy felt.

Cosy Morning in Kaohsiung
Happy but sad. Conflicting feelings. So cute but so far. Hope I can swim towards your shore and be on your side. As a friend of course. :-)
There are many cafes and eateries to choose from for brunch. I was spoilt for choice. They beat O'Briens and Subway by the trillions, at the expense of mere dollars and pennies.

新崛江夜市
Xinjuejiang Night Market is a famous night market in Kaohsiung, known for its food and street wear. In short, Taiwan has a buzzling nightlife if one cares to seek it.
Xinjuejiang Night Market is a famous night market in Kaohsiung, known for its food and street wear. In short, Taiwan has a buzzling nightlife if one cares to seek it. Just when I think that Taiwan offers the best to any owl of a human being, Singapore is not faring too bad itself. I reckon there are thousands of bars and pubs in Singapore, considering that the small district of Ann Siang Hill and Neil Road combined already has so much to offer. Tanjong Pagar is a drinking haven. Along with Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, an evening in Singapore may not be as boring as it seems after all.
I am now tipsy but not drunk. Jacky has just returned from Medan and we met for a short round of drinks. I think word has spread that I have turned alcoholic and many friends are now inviting me to drink with them. I did not know that there is so much sorrow to be drown within my circle of friends, and some of them have been habitual drinkers very much on their own.
I realize that a Long Island Iced Tea is enough to get myself comfortably "high", without the loathsome effects of a hangover.
Another few weeks and it will be hard to meet up. There goes my dream and best friend into the sea of time. Just be happy yeah. :-)

Kaohsiung Subway
I am more than impressed by the Kaohsiung Subway. It is clean, efficient, fast, and reliable.
We should leave friends the right to manage their own time and maintain their own social circles. Should we ever feel neglected by them, at least we should bear the conviction that they do not mean to do so. Thank You. I really mean it. :-)
I am not clinging on. But I really feel happy staying in good touch this way and will do whatever it takes for the person to be happy. So long as he/she is happy, whatever I do or can do is justified. :-) I can be the emcee for your big day!

Drunk again......
I don't feel guilty of my drinking bouts. I need to drown my sorrows. My drinking buddies are puzzled to have found such a ready partner these days. God knows why.
Went to Harry's at Chijmes and then to Ann Siang Hill. Haha! Here are some snapshots of the Taiwan High Speed Rail (THSR). I can't survive without it in my travels on the island.

Very Drunk now!
But who cares?! I have been drunk for the past 2 nights. I can't be bothered anymore. What sleek clean image do I have? What the heck is that?!
I am very drunk now, and very angry. I recount the times when I have been taken advantage of as a friend by some of my friends! I hate to be so calculative, and I am not asking that my help rendered to you has to be reciprocated in kind. But recall how you have been treating me. Like when I have an appointment with you and you fly my kite intentionally. Or prioritize your other friends over me. Why should I be at your beck and call, filling in your free time and empty slots and crawling away like a dog once you have found some nice activity? Sometimes I wonder if the problem lies with me or it is simply I am so unlucky as to meet friends like these. Are these people friends in the first place? Fair-weather ones who ask for help from you and yet selfish enough to refuse you when you need it, or callous enough to ignore your pleas, or think of you only when they want something from you. They can be earnest in having their ends met with your assistance but when only you and only you are concerned, regress into a reclusive mode or some state of memory loss at their own convenience. The worst thing is that these so-called friends are not even aware of the pain that they may have inflicted upon others. Yes, I feel that I have been taken for granted!
Man is really selfish. I am nothing but pessimistic towards human nature. I am one myself and have always thought that I am not an impeccably good person. Now I realize that many others are worse. 朋友之间熟归熟，最基本的礼貌还是要有的。如果跟你熟你就觉得对不起我是ok的，那我宁可跟你保持距离！熟了还被你欺负，你只欺负自己人，这是什么道理？？I hate myself for having come across as a petty idiot, and it is because of these so-called friends that I am now like this. This is it man. Enough is enough. Don't bother asking me for help in the future. If you are one of the guilty ones of the above charges, you should feel a tinge of guilt if you are still feeling (doubt you would read my blog anyway). If not, I must be wasting my drunkard breath here. To the guilty ones: how many times have you helped me or kept in touch with me? Especially those who are now doing marketing and selling policies!!
I will not delete this post even in my sober state. This entry is a real testament of what I have been feeling all this while. Agony and anger. 我要为自己而活! I thought that as a jovial Buddhist I should have "seen through the red dust" but as a matter-of-fact, I am still human at heart.
Taiwan rocks. It was love at first sight. It is also a place where I have forged great friendships and met friends who would really walk the extra mile just to make my every single stay in Taiwan a fun and rewarding one. I shall have no qualms flying over for my retirement.
To the f**k**g "friends": Bye! Lead your own lives and I will lead mine, without you in sight!
They say that if you want to know a person or his character, just observe his friends. Friends are a mirror image of yourself. I must have been a bad friend. Sorry if I am indeed so. My deepest apologies here.

So maddening!
Angry! Enraged! Incensed! Infuriated!
非常に怒って!
非常之生气！
It so happens that people from a certain faculty tend (and especially apt at doing so) to antagonize me much more than the rest. And this is not a biased, normative statement. It has all been a coincidence. I know of this only after being angered, so there was no way I could have known their background prior to our contact.
小不忍则乱大谋
EQ must be maintained. Take a deep breath......

Busy or just lazy?
Very often people would say to me, "You seem rather free! Is it just you or is it because Arts modules are simply too easy?"
Friends who know me well enough would expect a earful from me if they express the second opinion. I am actually busy and can be busy if I choose to. If not for the language module that I am currently taking, I would have written 3 conference papers by now. My current workload consists of 1 core module and tons of research work for both myself and my supervisor. I get paid for some of this work of course, but this is not the point.
The point is I have never told anyone that I am busy, but this does not mean that I am not. If you see me idling or bumming around, it does not mean that I am free and that a Masters degree is easy to attain. It simply means that I am not showing how busy I can be. I see no point in telling people that I am busy because I believe that everyone else is and it serves no purpose to compare with others how busy I am. One strange phenomenon that I see around me is that people LOVE to declare themselves busy for fear of seeming lazy or having too much free time in their hands. Whenever I embark on a trip to Taiwan or elsewhere, the natural reaction I receive from others is, "Wah, how come you are so free?" or "Wah, you so rich eh?" My disclaimer is: I have planned my time and schedule properly and have also striven to balance both work and play; I am not rich and more often than not I either travel on research funds or leech onto my kind friends and stay at their homes while abroad. The key is decent time management. It would be a sin to declare myself an expert in this field, but I am learning and have been testing my ground. Time is mine and everyone else's and it is up to the individual to decide what he or she can do with it.
As to why people may perceive me to be free, I reckon it can be due to the following reasons:
1. I walk slow enough and seem to take time for granted.
2. I seem oblivious to deadlines and would still go out for books or with my friends for a good meal or movie.
3. I am always seen planning for overseas trips.
4. I am always holding a book and reading it at a leisurely pace as if I am reading a novel or something.
Whatever the case may be, I want to cry out loud that EVERYONE is busy in his or her own way and there is no cause for comparison. As my old rhetoric goes, if you think that Arts modules are so easy to score, please take them and do well for them. I have seen and experienced much enough to conclude that many "critics" simply fail to grasp the true meaning of reading and learning, and they cannot even find the thesis argument or statement of the author that they are reading. Having said this at no offense to anyone, I just want to say on a personal note that I am taking life and my studies at my own pace and time. I am not going to compromise the quality of my life for material pursuits. Neither am I saying that I would loaf around and accomplish nothing. I will continue to do my best and accept whatever "best" that I can achieve from my current lifestyle.

National Taiwan University
I just browsed through the NTU website and realized that the university has (or at least had) some of the best scholars of Chinese Studies and Chinese Language whom we can possibly have today. NTU's ranking does not show it, however. I had not really noticed this during my stint there. Perhaps I had travelled too much instead of studying. In any case, I should have figured this out earlier.

Good Blog
I think Wanjun's blog is a good one. Complex or profound meanings explained in simple words. Displays social awareness and ethical values in a world increasingly oblivious to them.
They say that the academia is too insulated from the real world or the world at large. I say that their world is too insulated from a world that is real.
Some institutions by the name of HC should watch themselves. I mean it. At no offense to anyone. Some of my friends would know what I am talking about.

Bollywood
I must admit that my previous post was quite hao lian. Haha.
I am really into Bollywood films. The films exude life and vibrancy, with dancing crowds and catchy tunes. I try to make it a point to watch Vasantham Central every Sunday afternoon. It is a pity that the Bollywood films screened in Singapore are not English-subtitled. I may want to watch them on the big screen if they are.

Another win in my life
Our team of 3 has emerged as first runner-up for Chancellor's Challenge Shield 2009, held at the National University of Singapore (NUS). It was a quiz on both current affairs and general knowledge, organized by the Political Association, NUS Students' Union (NUSSU). Altogether there were more than a hundred participants from the various tertiary institutions pitting against us. Steven Chia, a Channel NewsAsia presenter, was the Guest-of-Honour who presented us with the award at the end of the contest. We will be interviewed by The Ridge, an NUS publication (or magazine). With so many certificates, plaques and trophies at hand, including this new addition, I need to free up more space at home to keep them. HAHA!
There is no age hierarchy in the attainment of knowledge.

Great Entry
I think Wanjun's latest post on her blog strikes a chord with I have always been trying to say and yet failed to do so ever so clearly.
I am anticipating 2 weeks of mundane and boring life ahead of me. So sad. A life without glow and lustre. Or things for me to smile or laugh at. Hee hee. Just kidding.

Thanks！
I was supposed to draft a script for one of my Japanese classes when my group-mate selflessly took on the task herself after she had failed to contact me for the past few days. I really appreciate it and don't know how I can repay her. I don't mean to be irresponsible but my time management sucks. Thanks anyway yeah!
I hope that in the near future, our planes can operate like buses and trains. Nice and polite pilots will be saying:
各位尊敬的乘客，欢迎您乘搭本航空公司的班机！
我们即将抵达目的地，谢谢您的惠顾，我们希望能在不久的将来再次为您服务。
若您要中途下机，请您按铃。
若您想前往其他目的地，请您携带餐备的刀叉到机舱来，谢谢！

Appeal!
To my YEP friends (and Jiayi): Please keep yourselves free sometime this week (or the next). We will have our annual CNY dinner gathering other than the one that USP had for us sometime back. Please revert when asked to. Thanks!
Hauser: When will you be free? My mouth and hands are itching.
Where is 天外天？I heard it is as nice as 霹雳MIT.

My Marist Friends
Just met up with Bing Ying, Marc, and Tipin at Tipin's place in the evening. It has been a long while since I last saw them at Anchorpoint late last year. Bing Ying is getting married. Marc and Tipin are happy in their "high-flying" jobs. I am contended. Marc and Tipin treated me to roti prata at Upper Thomson Road.
Speaking of which, where is Jiahao??

Strange......
I was completely ignorant of the fact that I had been nominated for this (and who were the three who had voted for me?!):
各位同学: 研究生会选举结果投票统计如下：邓橙子5票；李叔飞1票；王丹5票；邹婧6票；陈英杰3票 ；马鸣1票；王跃龙1票。祝贺邹婧同学当选，也请邹婧同学尽快组织自己的团队开展工作!
This is even freakier:
陈英杰你好~我是邹婧，马鸣有没有给你讲过邀请你加入研究生会的事情？很希望你能加入我们！不知道你明天早上10点有没有空？彭睿老师想找我们几个成员去他办公室商量一下新年团拜会的事情，如果你看到请尽快联系我!
Those who know me well enough would know that I am not really into such "worldly" pursuits. Coupled with the fact that I don't really mingle with my fellow graduate mates (I mix around more with my UCV and Japanese classmates), it really leaves me to wonder who had nominated me and why. But no. Whatever the case may be, I am not joining any such committee.

Everything went blank before my eyes
I just heard this from my Hong Kong friend BenBen:
Jacky Wu will be retiring in June this year. Hearing this news is a bad start for me. Very soon I will no longer be entertained by his variety shows and songs.

I really feel sad. There goes a talent from the Taiwanese entertainment scene. How many Jacky Wus can we see in our lifetime? Who can make me laugh as much as he does?
Thanks for all the fun and joy that you have brought me, Local King. We had met, shaken hands and taken a photo together, even though you may have forgotten who I am. You will forever be my Local King and idol. I am truly blessed to have enjoyed your entertainment.
Long Live the King.
