和我看日出。

今年的第1个post本来是想来这里拍2009 第一线阳光的。不过,睡过了头。只好写2008年的最后一道朝阳。=P 这是离我家15-20min 的reservoir. 日出很美的。我常来这里吸收“太阳能”。



今天天气有点阴。



我把它叫做[水上花园],我不知道它真正的用途。在水上漂了几个月了。


大叔钓的这一尾鱼超大条的。难怪这里有好多人来钓鱼 。


蜗牛的家。不过是空的了。可怜,我怀疑蜗牛都拿去钓鱼了。


哈~不是我的脚车。虽然我一直想买一辆。由其现在到处都是park connector.

很久以前就发现,人与人之间的缘份是很微妙的。你和他可以认识很久,很靠近,可是相处的频率就是搭不上。相反的,你也可能和第一天才认识的人,一见如故,无所不谈甚至很自在的交心。=) 我想这就是一个投缘吧?。。。。。。

阿秀阿姨是公司新请的钟点帮佣。台湾金门人。定居新加坡好多年了,不过还是说这一口好听的台湾调华语。我觉得和阿秀阿姨就是一见如故的。说不上为什么。也许就是 觉得她好亲切,很台湾式的热情。她爱叫我小微。(我本名里有个“微”,而冰冰是家人给的小名。)全世界也只有我的senior这样叫我。哈哈~~挺不好意 思的,都老大不小了。我一定是没有大人样。哈~

她妹妹在金门是开民宿的。原来现在到金门也可以从厦门坐船去。这对我来说是个非常大的发现。我一直想自己去旅行,而台湾和中国我都考虑过。如果从厦门进台 湾会便宜些,那真的可以考虑,考虑。反正台北我也去了,去看点别的也不错。金门应该历史和古迹多些吧?住民宿也很好,可以更贴近当地人的生活。


今天在Natas旅游展就这样巧的给我碰上了阿秀阿姨。

她在给去德国读书的儿子买相机。这是我们第二次在公司以外的地方遇上。虽然新加坡是个小国,要在街上遇到朋友,那并不容易。
她也和我提起去金门的事。也许注定是要去的。或许在那里遇上如意郎君,那也不用回来了。哈哈哈哈哈~~~~

。。。。。。而人生的旅途上,会有好多好多的过客。每个都会在我们的生命留下些什么。或多,或少。听过吗?守护天使(或者,贵人)会以不同的方法与被它守护的人沟通。可以是个人(过客),可以是一本书,一个一闪而过的念头。。。。。。也许。。。。。。

Crispies



Came upon this recipe while doing research for an upcoming project. This is an activity for early primary school kids and they are supposed to learn that a lot of their food source came from our rainforest.
Well, I decided to give it a try. It must be really easy since it is for kid, right? I cannot be more wrong. haha. It still looked quite ok from the pix but everything fell apart once you try to pick it up. We ended up eating honey cereals + chocolate chips in bit and pieces. Later I found out that, the mixture still need to be heated up before cooling it in the fridge.
I wonder what would happen when a teacher decide to try it out with her/ his students. Hate to see their disappointing face when it doesnt turn out as it should. But perhaps kids will have fun anyway. After all , its the preparation and mixing process that are most fun. =P

发疯中。


今天特地赶回家观看朋友有份参与制作的旅游节目[缘走天涯]。前面两集, 我错过了。实在可惜。今天说的是新疆的游牧民族.还挺好看的。游牧生活是我一直很想亲身体验的。它可以是蒙古,也可以是新疆。很向往那片一望无尽的大草原。每次看到有新意的旅游节目,我全身上下不安定的旅游基因就会开始不听话。虽然我即将在3月到香港去,可是城市满足不了我呀。快疯了。谁要陪我到蒙古去搭蒙古包

彩虹的故事


前几天在
[ 蓝天白云]里看了好漂亮的彩虹。
想起了自己3年前在云南与彩虹邂逅。。。。。。。。。。

这是我们在丽江背包的第九天。

泸沽湖回丽江的巴士上。。。。。山路。。。。

[芝]
又下雨,又出太阳。。。 不知道会不会看到彩虹

[我] hm….扎西说我们一团人都很有福气。(因为我们这次看到了班禅又见到的梅里顶峰)。这么有福气,那我们一定会看得到彩虹lor… 哈哈哈 ( 我开玩笑的,我就不信真的那么有福气。我到想看看,是真的假的。)

话刚刚说完,车转了一个弯。
在我们眼前就是这一道美丽的彩虹

我和丽芝互望。哑口无言。

太巧了。。。。太巧了。。。。

那次的旅行,
是抱着自我放弃/逐的心情去的。
14天的
自我放逐
回来的时候却象是换了一次新血,活过来了。

左边披头散发的是我。
很累,可是精神是饱足的。

最近 又想去充电了。
可是心里明白
有些事
是可遇不
可求的。

很喜欢一个英文字 --
[ serendipities ]
The faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.

这也许是我现在想要的。

春天来了 2 - 花开花榭




花谢花飞花满天,红消香断有谁怜? 游丝软系飘春榭,落絮轻沾扑绣帘. 闺中女儿惜春暮,愁绪满怀无释处, 手把花锄出绣闺,忍踏落花来复去。。。。。。。
侬今葬花人笑痴,他年葬侬知是谁? 试看春残花渐落,便是红颜老死时. 一朝春尽红颜老,花落人亡两不知!

看着满地的花 其实想学林妹妹 葬葬花。
想来 其实 还挺环保的。
枯了的花 埋入土地
变成了肥料 继续滋养着
那颗附于它生命的树。

春天来了。




每年的这个时候,我工司的花园阳台就会变成一个“观鸟区”。一对Sunbird(黄腹花蜜鸟)是我们的阳台的常客。常飞来寻找造鸟窝的材料。这是其中一只。只有手掌般大小。应该是母的。可爱吧!

第四场 : 《大歹纪》


这是我第一次看 《大歹纪》。一个字--[赞]。觉得场地的选择也很妙,在 旧国会大厦 的议事厅里。我们选了反对党的座位。我想说我们是故意的,可惜只是刚巧。(笑)

对于探讨生育计划和外来人才课题的剧目印象深刻。由其是历年生育计划的那一段,很让人反思。

ps : 今年看的第四场戏剧。

随笔。。。。新加坡河前


。。。。。看《大歹纪》之前。

Hongkong, hongkong.


Planning a family trip to Hong kong next month. This will be my first attempt to plan a "free and easy" trip with my whole family ( which is like, only 4 of us).
Excited but kinda nervous too. =)

菩提叶





朋友从印度带回来的菩提叶标本(Bodhi Leaf)。
把菩提叶翻过来,它象不象一个心? =)

据传说菩提树之所以得其名,是因为2500多年前佛祖释迦牟尼就是在这么棵树下静坐了7天7夜,并获得大彻大 悟的。后来那棵树种也给叫做菩提树。

愛似是陽光空氣



因为这首歌我认识了[农夫]。 香港的一只Rap/Hip-Hop组合。歌曲不仅是好听,歌词幽默里也很有内容。

爱似林一峰 (Feat. 林一峰)

你愛一架飛機 我愛一個杯 你愛我個細佬 我愛你個妹
你應愛李英愛 李英愛愛李英宰
定係愛冇話應該唔應該

愛似是陽光空氣 愛似是陽光空氣

愛 愛有人話真愛係無價
愛 愛我話真愛無得講價
首先要有大把身家
再有奶媽管家
車唔只得一架最好有司機楂
事實係事實 愛情係現實
你無車無樓無番狗
做乜要拖我手
女人最忌無品 男人最忌無銀
所以幾百張心意卡比唔上白金既附屬卡
林子祥無呃你 係你自己呃自己

鹹魚白菜也好好味

戶口得幾舊水
仲想養埋佢個女

Oh 叫佢食陽光空氣

愛 似是一間屋一張卡
一齊擔一把遮 陽光空氣一架車
愛 似是一個人一直搵
一直等個一個人 一世一齊訓
愛 似是一間屋一張卡
一齊擔一把遮 陽光空氣一架車

愛似是陽光空氣

你愛我 所以你俾左我
我愛你 所以我愛理不理
你愛我 因為我愛你
我愛你 因為佢唔愛我

準新娘 準備紅杏出牆
搶新娘 你點同人搶
人地送寶馬 你就送花
人地去飲紅酒 你就飲茶
所以我愛你 唔駛理夠唔夠match
我愛你 係睇你夠唔夠cash
我愛你 唔介意落雨擔下遮
最緊要行多兩步你會楂架車

你咪叫我愛你看你有冇誠意
你若然愛我咪叫我與你逼巴士
有心意 但係冇生意
你叫我點樣安心鍾意

愛 似是一間屋一張卡
一齊擔一把遮 陽光空氣一架車
愛 似是一個人一直搵
一直等個一個人 一世一齊訓
愛 似是一間屋一張卡
一齊擔一把遮 陽光空氣一架車

愛似是陽光空氣

你最愛傳教 我愛狗仔
你愛睇裙仔 我愛睇三仔
你愛佢有型格 我愛佢無格
愛要黎到既時候邊個都冇辦法

愛似是陽光空氣
愛似是陽光 空氣

看月亮。。。

他们说今年元宵的月亮是52 年来最圆。谁有52 年前的月亮?
我们比一比。。。。。。+P

大门前。。。长了两道弯眉的月亮。



我的床前明月光。。。


月亮不见了。。。。。

前天收到了一则手机简讯。元宵节的祝语。
年快完了…人也闷了吧?钱花光了…心也疼了吧?短信少了…没人理了吧?野不成了…老实上班吧!幸亏还有我… …祝你元宵节快乐!

写的还真贴切。我爱华人新年。在长假期里可以完全松懈,不想事情,可以任性的抛掉烦人的琐事。“过了新年在说!”仿佛过年其间时间可以暂停。=)当然这只我很一相情原的想法。哈哈~~

The House of the Spirits

''..........Our memory is fragile. A life time is very brief. Everything happens so fast that we do not have time to understand the relationship between events. This is what my mother wrote in her diary..............''

Above was a movie transcript I took from [The House of the spirits]. Caught the movie on Tv when I was in secondary. Was delighted to see it again on You tube. Still moved by the story after so long. This is not quite a ghost story as the title has suggested, but it does fill with spirits of different kinds. Shall spare you guys from my review for I am neither a good movie reviewer non a good story teller, but do check out the wiki & you tube link attached below.

[ Quoted from Wikipedia : - ----- - The House of Spirits chronicles the lives of three generations of Trueba women. The story starts, however, with the del Valle family, focusing on Clara and Rosa, mainly. The youngest daughter, Clara del Valle, has paranormal powers and keeps a detailed diary of her life. Using her powers, Clara predicts a death in the family. Shortly after this, Clara's green-haired sister, Rosa the Beautiful, is accidentally poisoned and dies as a result. Clara accidentally watches her sister's autopsy and afterwards, terrified, stops speaking, believing her words caused her sister's death.........cont' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_House_of_the_Spirits ]

Fern and Bamboo

Although I am a non-believer, I love this story that was posted by my Christain friend on the facebook. Its fill with wisdom and encouragement. I have once read a passage on the story of the Chinese bamboo which was very similar but this was better especially at the summary.

One day I decided to quit. I quit my job, my relationship, & my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life. I went to the woods to have one last talk with God.

"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"
His answer surprised me. "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern & the bamboo?"

"Yes", I replied.

"When I planted the fern & the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of them. I gave them sunlight. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant & plentiful. And again, nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo".

He said. "In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.

In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit.

He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small & insignificant.

But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong & gave it what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle."

He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on the bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to others."

He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, yet, they both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come," God said to me. " You will rise high!"

"How high should I rise?" I asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" I questioned.

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

I left the forest & brought back this story. I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you.

Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you Happiness.
Bad days give you Experiences.
Both are essential to life.
Keep going.
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!
Have a great day! The Son is shining!

God is so big He can cover the whole world with his Love & so small He can curl up inside your heart
