Life’s ain’t a bed of roses.

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

I was cleaning my machiam-typhoon-fengsheng-hit-room yesterday when I accidentally entangled the lines of the ball bearings ( see picture on top - anyone got any idea what it’s called?!? )

My room was still in a mess; things all over my bed and floor, vacumn cleaner making a hell lot of noise, bucket of water ( used to wipe dust / clean things ) on the floor. I had a meeting to rush to in an hour’s time, which requires me 30mins to reach there. I had effectively 30mins left to clear up the mess, bathe and dress up.

And then, I had to sit down abruptly and start undoing the mess - the tangled lines. ( Because any further delay could result in serious damage of the lines. )

It was hard. The lines were very fine and the tangle was worst then I thought.

And then, it got me thinking.

Sometimes, we have to stop in our tracks and start thinking of very fine and delicate details. Start to think why is everything in such a mess and murphy have to strike you at this kind of time.

Kind of like a review of your own life which you have to put yourself through every few months.

Then, I sighed deeply and talked to myself.

"What to do? Life ain’t a bed of roses".

Ohai. I am tOyBoY r3g.

Dragged myself out even though I’m sick because I absolutely had to get an organiser.

Popped some panadols, chilled out at starbucks with Wilson ( to escape the sun ) and then Haagen Dazs with my mistress ( since we agreed on that term. )

Sly one, that mistress. She picked the tab when it was supposed to be my treat today ( in a desperate attempt to cheer her up ) when I was at the toilet.

 

Twittered this on my mobile after we left Haagen Dazs.

Now I’m really living up to the name of toyboy liao. -_-.

Backed home, with another round of splitting headache. Gonna pop some pills and zzzz.

P.S: *pssst* Next time my treat!

P.S.S: I spelt Haagen Dazs correctly now! :)

Why must the shoemaker’s son be a shoemaker when he grows up?

Why must the chef’s son be a chef when he grows up?

Why must the watchmaker’s son be a watchmaker when he grows up?

I hate it.

Take destiny into your own hands.

One cufflink shirt down

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

I was at my friend’s army farewell BBQ party yesterday.

As I was told it was a small "gathering", I did not expect it to be a bbq party and wore a shirt to the gathering.

My friend did not want me to dirty my shirt, so he offered to loan me his T-shirt so I can help with the cooking. Of course, I gladly accepted his offer.

After I changed into the T-shirt, I left my shirt on the bench to air it.

Who knows, halfway through the BBQ party, I heard people asking "Who’s shirt har?".

I stood up, claiming that the shirt’s mine, only to see a group of malay girls ( my friend’s friend ) looking at me.

And then, I saw it.

My shirt, that is. Or rather, whatever’s left of my shirt.

Apparently, they were playing sparklers near the bench where I placed my shirt and they burnt it.

What puzzled me was:

1) The place wasn’t dim, there were lights so why they never spot my shirt there.

2) Why were they playing sparklers there in a first place when that’s the place where we put all our belongings ( which will result in all our belongings catching fire IF a something caught fire )

3) Why my shirt was reduced to such a state.

I would have understood if it’s a small burn or something, but apparently the fire was BIG.

So big that my shirt was reduced to bits and pieces. Seriously, I couldn’t even recognized it as my shirt.

……………………………………

And so, that’s one cufflink shirt gone. I forgot how much it cost me, but cufflink shirts ain’t that cheap if my memory doesn’t fail me.

Really, a winnar is them.

張敬軒 - My Way

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

I was listening to the radio recently when I came across this dedication by a school teacher to his students.

The dedication spoke of how meaningful the lyrics of the song "My way" by Zhang Jing Xuan.

 

張敬軒
My Way

一直在酝酿
一直在盼望
爸爸和妈妈唯一的理想 二月第一天 一九八一年
我第一次对他们眨了眨眼
等待快点过去多少个明天
希望这个宝贝快快长大一点一点
身体要健康所有的事情都如所愿 baby长大以后就是小轩

I will find my way
I want a different way
I’ll change the wind and rain
There be a brand new day
小时候受伤有人心痛失落有人安慰
现在遇到困难自己就要学会面对
I will find my way
I want a different way
Nothing will stop me now
No matter what they say
困难要用我的坚强和努力勇敢面对
现在用心去追 感觉就对
I’ll find my way

一直就这样
找我的方向
不理会别人奇怪的眼光
直到有一天 我忽然发现
梦想已经在实现
等待快点过去多少个明天
看着自己已经慢慢长大一点一点
我的生活应该让我自己学会掌握
想信自己 不怕风雨再多

I will find my way
I want a different way
I’ll change the wind and rain
There be a brand new day
小时候受伤有人心痛失落有人安慰
现在遇到困难自己就要学会面对
I will find my way
I want a different way
Nothing will stop me now
No matter what they say
困难要用我的坚强和努力勇敢面对
现在用心去追 感觉就对
I’ll find my way
I will find my way
I’ll find my way

 


"困难要用我的坚强和努力勇敢面对 , 现在用心去追 感觉就对."

How very true.

Sometimes, you really wonder

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

Whether the decisions you make are really the ones for your own good.

And now, I lie on the bed every night, pondering over things.

No wonder I am lacking sleep and falling sick.
