The Dark Horse

Sunderland seems set to be the new dark horse of the current EPL season. It shall become another Wigan or Reading, looking especially so after its recent victory over Tottenham. Add to your coffers by placing your wise bets on it.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

Long live our legacy of progress and prosperity. May Singapore scale new heights and shine on the global arena.

Just like the Mayflowers bloom in June,
look into the eyes of Capricon and discover,
within itself,
the fundamental basics of construction that define and redefine the present through the past;
the prisms that shred light into its components,
that shall point the way to bright and blight,
that is,
the fundamental idiocyncracy of the poetic journey that is life.

人生之艰难
就像那不息之长河
虽有东去大海之志
却流程缓慢
征程多艰
然江河水总有入海之时
而人生之志
却常常难以实现
令人报恨终生!

老虎与猪

在现今的社会里,人人都无形中跟四川师傅学艺,
面具越戴越多,变脸技术也越用越高明。

其中一幅面具,我们称之为老虎,
令人闻风丧胆,却又趋之若鹜。

殊不知,最可怕的不是老虎,
老虎面目狰狞,看官有所提防。
所谓的纸老虎,更是不堪一击。

追根究底,有种双层面具,
俗称“扮猪吃老虎”。
外表温顺,内心凶残,
平时不露痕迹,深得师傅真传。
遭此物突袭,含冤莫白死。

CORS Bidding System

I love the system. I don't have the time to monitor it, but I hope to get my desired modules eventually. I only dumped 4200 points to bid for a particular module, and competition is stiff because there are currently many more bidders than vacancies for it. Bidders, including myself, are now left in a state of panic, no, anarchy, in the virtual system. How exciting!

彻夜

一大早醒来,什么也看不到,
只看到黑暗与绝望。

我是否瞎了,只听见恶魔疾驰的脚步声,
活在它的世界里,我无法自拔,
只能让灵魂随它的心飘去,泪水尽收眼底。

就怕输给时间,只剩下万分想念,
不舍只要一点,寂寞即无限。
就算真的输给时间,也要有所眷恋,
看不见,还有回忆让我不变。

无奈

换一个季节,换一个地方,
我已不是我,你也不是你,
茫然飘荡在无情的时空里。

匆匆几番秋冬,花儿更新,
偶见面孔已改,心也变了,
面目全非,无能为力。

想寻回那份纯真、那份荣耀,
不沾世俗纷扰的荣耀,
它却如背影一样,渐行渐远,
不留任何余地。

The Passage of Life

The passage of life can be felt through and by oneself. Nothing matters when its own existence is in doubt. Questions are senseless when they offer no conclusive solutions. There are no answers available in the first place. Everything in life lies from within. Seek life by walking the passage. No dark alleys are ever too daunting. There are no eternal caves. Light ahead.

My Deepest Apologies and Sincerest Gratitude

Oh I have seldom felt so terrible about myself! I was dreadfully late for a birthday gathering organized by Jiayi, and kept everyone waiting at Essential Brews. We enjoyed a KTV session after dinner, and Jianhao passed me a card with everyone's greetings and regards written on it. I felt happy but embarassed, and I think I owe everyone a big one this time round. Very sorry for my lateness, and I wish I can make up for this in the near future. Thank You for such a wonderful evening, and I wish I can enjoy more of such moments during the long vacation.

We had forgotten to take photos then. Anyway, I would like to thank Boredin, Jacky, Jianhao, Jiayi, Soon Kit and Crystal, as well as Tenghui and Jane for taking the time out to spend the lovely evening together. I appreciate what Jiayi had done for us, and please don't be mad at me! I mean, even if anyone does, all fault and responsibility is mine, and I shall not defend myself here by citing any reason for my lack of punctuality or to excuse myself unnecessarily. Paiseh, and thanks!

Subconsciously, I didn't think I was so important as to form an integral part of anyone's life or event, so I took little action to reaffirm my ties with most people. Now I realize that small things as such do matter, and I should watch myself more from now on. But please believe me when I say that I have never harboured the intention of taking any individual for granted!

A Dream

It's over. It's all over. Everything is over. Coffee and tea both sustained a consciousness that had mishandled the daunting questions, and their effects ensued to alert a tormented soul that sleep should never be rewarded. The monster from within lurked in the dark, and an abject failure appeared in the mirror at dawn. I had no nightmares in such deprivation, but this life is the longest dream I've ever had. What a wonderful world.

Happiness!

I feel happy, and I feel happy to make others happy. Be them my cheesy jokes or weird antics, I'm just happy to make others laugh their worries and sorrows off. Let's pay it forward, and allow happiness to roam our lives! We should spread joy in the world! Thanks to all who have made me happy! To some of you here: I hope I've made your days at times!

Happy Birthday to Myself!

My birthday wish is for all my loved ones to achieve both health and happiness in the year ahead. Many thanks for my friends who actually remembered my birthday and sent me SMSes at midnight to remind me that I was not forgotten. Heartfelt gratitude to my foreign friends who posted me cards from Hong Kong and Taiwan. No one mentioned in particular here, but Thank You so much to all!

Happy Birthday to William Wong and Melvin Koh too!

I was born in the Year of the Pig, but I love the Rabbit. Thanks.

Anguish

Everything went blank before my eyes. I groped my way back to my room, threw myself onto my bed and dug my burning head into my blanket and pillow. So everything has been in vain. In vain all the sacrifices. In vain the death of millions of brain cells. The clouds cleared to unveil an overcast sky, and the birds chirped to declare the coming of winter.

The Illusory World

Everything in life is predestined. Let us resign to fate, and allow our destinies to manifest themselves. Everything in the world is transient. Let us not be blinded by material comforts, and cast our sight to a paradise beyond. Nothing in the universal is profound and stands for eternity, and nothing that we have strived so hard for shall witness the passage of time. Allow us to take deep breaths and accept all consequences of our actions. Welcome life as it is for creations of nature. Love and happiness abound, without sowing seeds for them to blossom. Goodness.

EQ needed: I am deprived of that

I doubt anyone would be reading this blog these days; I had made it clear that I would not be writing entries for a long time to come, and everyone whom I know is currently busy with his/her own affairs, be them school work or internships. Whatever the case is, I suppose my blog has turned into my personal online diary, well, at least for the time being.

I should be more sensitive to events and occurrences around me. I had failed to notice oddities from within, and such inability truly made me doubt the level of my intellect. A friend of mine is now involved in a family crisis, but he hides it so well that few actually know about it. I was too insensitive, and it took me a while before realizing that I was not paying enough attention to his feelings and had blurted out some stupid stuff that might have irritated him. My sincere apologies to him, as well as all those whom I had unwittingly offended, and I don't know if I can still count myself as a valuable asset of society given my low EQ equivalence.

Let's all work this out together. Best of luck to those who are in adversity. Regards.

Foreign friends on the Fore

Many of my friends whom I had met at NTU will be arriving in Singapore in the coming weeks! I must clear my assignments fast, so that I can show them around when the time comes and facilitate their contributions to the Singapore economy!

Fieldtrip to Malacca (with Prof. Lee, Yong Chang, and Taiwanese friends)
