to my dear, persistent Citibank representative..
i told you 2 weeks ago i’m not interested..
i told you last Friday i’m not interested..
WHY are you calling me AGAIN at 5:30pm with exactly the same questions, the same suggestions, etc?
which part of “no” don’t you understand?

reminiscence..
there are some who say that the more you age, the more you start to reminisce about the past.
given that i’ll be another year older in 2 weeks time, i’m starting to think a lot about the past again.
ahh.. those good old days.. how i miss you so..

i noticed you like listening to heavy metal.. i enjoy those occasionally too when i need an outlet to vent my frustrations..
but don’t you think the music is WAY TOO LOUD if i can hear exactly what’s playing on your iPod when i’m 3 seats away?
make good use of your nice set of expensive headphones, but do take care of your ears also.. oh, and did i mention i don’t quite...

priorities..
when you bump (hard) into someone’s arm with your butt as you’re seating yourself on a bus while chit chatting with your boyfriend, the priority is to apologize to the recipient of your “butt bump” rather than to continue flirting with your boyfriend..
just saying..

回忆…
几天前因为工作所需而参加了一场办在母校的座谈会。
旧地重游带给我许多美好回忆。
一起走过的小路… 一起坐过得角落… 一起唱过的歌… 一起说过的话… 依旧历历在目、记忆犹新
即使过了十多年… 人、事、物都已不一样了… 甜蜜的感觉仍旧不减当时
我相信这些小幸福是一辈子都会铭记于心、永远不变的。
supermarket trolleys..
it’s got 4 wheels like a car..
so they should be operated by licensed personnel and under safe speed limits, just like a car..
the sight of under-aged children zooming past me as they push a trolley in a crowded supermarket makes me shudder..
getting knocked in the ankle by one leaves me screaming and wincing in pain.. OUCH!!!

waiting 5-10 minutes for the next train won’t kill you.. really..
i’m pretty sure it is as uncomfortable for you as it is for the rest of us to be squashed like sardines in a tin can..
unexpected..
I noticed how people always seem so shocked when they learn that I’m Christian. One such incident happened just this afternoon.. A colleague asked if I knew the story of Noah’s Ark. Naturally, I answered yes, all the while thinking to myself: “Come on.. I didn’t study 10 years in a Catholic school for nothing!”
Said colleague then looked at me in surprise and...

the beautiful, the lazy, and the diligent..
blessed are the beautiful..
they’ve been gifted with good looks without having to work hard for it
blessed are the lazy..
they disregard the secular pursuit of beauty and live in a happy world of their own
cursed are the diligent..
they are relentless in their pursuit of beauty and in the process, waste time, money and energy, where they could’ve been used other more meaningful...
美女、懒女、勤女…
美丽的女人是幸福的…
不需要做什么,
就能拥有羡煞旁人的美貌。
懒惰的女人是幸福的…
将世俗的眼光抛在脑后,
过着与世无争的生活。
勤劳的女人是辛苦的…
耗尽金钱与时间,
只求每朝在镜子前不会被吓死。
以上为一个劳财伤神的丑女所得结论
good times..
are spent with good friends,
over (relatively) good food,
talking about the good old days,
sharing lots of good news..

沸点与冰点…
水的沸点是100摄氏度。 水的冰点是0摄氏度。 究竟人心的沸点是什么，冰点又是什么呢？
水沸腾时，会变蒸汽。 人心沸腾时，会变热情。 同样充满了力量， 同样容易让人灼伤。
水冻结时，会结冰。 人心冻结时，会冷却。 同样的沉静， 同样的默默等待能让自己再融化的温度。

saying sorry..
is a basic form of politeness..
especially if you just stepped on someone’s foot..
even if it was just by accident..

1) I know you have a working mobile phone.. I have one too.. there’s really no need to grab our attention that way..
2) I’m really not interested in listening to your lunch catering arrangements, your logistics plans on how to pick up your dog from the vet, and the results from your mom’s health check.. neither do the other passengers on the PUBLIC bus, so please keep your...
hurray..
to the long weekend that just started!
The z-monster gets to go on overdrive while I slide low on the couch.. sweet!
time..
must be the scarcest resource on this universe in this life..
waking up..
is hard to do..
similarities..
are abundant between 2 good friends who share the same birthday..
similar outlook on life..
similar struggles with the z-monster and procrastination..
similar freedom from Monday blues..
similar interests in technology and gadgets..
not forgetting our similar appearances (glasses)..
and similar sounding Chinese names..
no wonder people used to believe us when we told them we’re...

热…
热血青春? 非也…
热恋激情? 非也、非也…
是这酷热的天气
真是难耐啊!
无奈…
是当你想要完成,
却不知从何开始,
而在你挣扎、思考的过程中,
一切却早已匆匆的过去了…
laughter..
when it makes everyone sigh in disgust, it’s no longer funny..
taking the tumble..
inspired by some friends who’ve recently started their own tumblr blogs, I decided to toss away my procrastination (for now at least), gather some thoughts, and take the tumble..
posts here will most likely be rather random, not just in theme, but also in choice of language. So sit tight and enjoy the tumbling ride!
