My thoughts after watching Running Man ep151

Yesterday I can't help but once again watched RM episode twice. Yaya, I'm totally obsessive :P

While watching 2nd time, I found out somethings and I wonder if others realize those facts like I do.

First of all,I got really curious of what happened at station R2 because obviously they edited it out. The 1st evidence is that the game jump from station R1 to R3 (shown by the running man flag). And, You can obviously see the sudden change of location from alley to a bakery house where they departed to the station R3.

The 2nd evidence is that it didn't show how Ji Hyo was eliminated during game and she just suddenly appeared together with Jae Suk and KwangSoo at station R5.

On the other hand, the expression of HaHa when he first saw the back of Jung Woo Sung and the way he closed the door again and talked to KwangSoo was totally cute!!! 

By the way, at first I couldn't recognize Woo Sung ssi but finally I recognize that he is the macho guy who acted in "Padam Padam". He really impressed me a lot in that drama. Somehow his face is kind of different in RM as compared to his face in drama...is it my eyes problem or the make-up problem? hmmm......

The smell of air sucks!

Where is our basic human right to breathe in clean air? We can even smell the awful haze indoor. My clothes, my blanket, my towel, everything smells bad. This is really sickening! What makes it worse is that the mask is out of stock! :(

If someone was going to sell purified air during this suffering hazy period, he's gonna get rich, I think so...

Gosh, if we are this suffering, how do Indonesians survive in Indonesia? hmmm...?

Some people may wonder why they burn forest in Indonesia. The answer that I found is to clear the land for cultivation purpose (eg: oil palm plantation). And, You know what? There're more than 100 hot spots in Indonesia? Oh no, I can't believe that.

What a selfish and stupid method being done every year.

Alright, thank you for contributing so much greenhouse gases to our earth.

Clown fish which I call Nemo :)

The song of "Ten little Indians" keeps running in my head when I see the group of pictures below, hahah! May be you should sing a long too :D

One little Nemo~

Two little Nemo~~


Three little Nemo~~~


Actually there're two Nemo in the 1st picture. Do you see the shyly hiding one?

I saw them in my friend's office and I was so excited. Thus I took their pictures without permission from Nemo :P

In fact, those cute Nemo reminded me of my old friend in university. He showed me his house and his Nemo before I left Penang for Singapore. It's a moment I can't forget because it's the moment I gained for the reason that I was leaving. Kind of pathetic?!

Today, I happened to know from Facebook that he has just had his wedding recently. I wanted to congrate him but some thoughts had stopped me to do so. For some reasons, I feel that he doesn't want to let me know. May be I am just not in his close-friend list? May be I am just think too much?

P/S: Ya, I know, the weather is bad and I am writing a meaningless blog here. We can't enjoy every breath-in thanks to forest-burning activities in Indonesia. That's why I'm entertaining myself here:P

We are shrouded in haze!

This is really crazy, man!


Below is the latest news from Yahoo news page:

[UPDATED 19 June, 9:00PM: 3-hour PSI reading hit a new record high of 290 at 9pm on Wednesday, higher than the previous peak of 226 in 1997 and well into the "very unhealthy" range.]
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/haze-reaches--unhealthy--level-in-singapore-085448213.html


Actually, Malaysia and Singapore experience hazy air annually when winds from Indonesian forest fires blows over.

OMG! Why do we need to endure the haze every year? Do we deserve this health-threatening choking smog?

Those who burn the forest in Indonesia are really selfish! Selfish! Selfish!

You should be shameful of yourself if you are the one who burn it!

Do you know your selfish activities have put how many person's health on risk? Do you know those with heart or respiratory ailments have a lot of trouble during this period?

How could you be so indifference and care only your own commercial benefits?


Really wish this kind of situation will NEVER EVER happen again! But it seems to me Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia's government can't really do anything to stop it. Else, this wouldn't have happened for so many years. No kidding, probably it's been about 20 years.

Aih, I'm very disappointed!

无法容忍的行为 I can't keep silent on this

http://opinions.sinchew.com.my/node/28980?tid=10

读完上面这篇文章,我觉得以下两句说得好!

‘“向Buddha Bar說不”,不是抵制別人的權益,而是向相關者業者表達:“你的方式在傷害我們,也對我們不尊重” 。’
‘“向Buddha Bar說不”的行動,讓佛教社群更清楚,如果我們連自己都不重視與爭取自己的權益,我們繼續靜默只會被時代給淘汰,進而被遺忘。’


说真的,身为一个已经归依的佛教徒,我有种被伤害的感觉。怎么可以这样公然地侮辱佛陀,佛法及佛教的信徒呢?

正如文中所提,“佛教徒以佛陀的聖潔修為與教法,為學習的對象,包括禁止飲食含有麻醉的物品,如酒類。”
“不饮酒”是佛教里最基本的戒条之一,现在竟然以佛之名及肖像来卖酒,未免太矛盾了吧!

如果有人这样跟我说:“搞不好,Buddha Bar因此渡了更多人來學佛。”
那么我想说,那种商业性质已经与佛教教义相抵触,到底是要吸引人来学什么佛啊?
简直是强词夺理!太过分了!


还有,地方政府怎么可以对佛教事宜这么不敏感呢?换作是回教,我敢肯定不会有类似的事发生。


这里有一则刊登于光明日报的相关新闻:
http://www.guangming.com.my/node/170759?tid=7

没错,以佛陀為名經營酒吧根本就是在褻瀆佛陀。 这种行为实在不该被漠视的!现在不管制,日后难免会泛滥。


目前,我所获的最新消息是,“Buddha Bar”的東主把酒吧名稱改為“Say Yes To BB”,而亞庇市政局表示可以接受這個新名字。
http://news.sinchew.com.my/node/304734?tid=1

什么Say Yes to BB,这摆明就是在对抗“向Buddha Bar說不”,谁不知道BB代表Buddha Bar 呀?简直是幼稚又肤浅!
好,我作为一个学佛之人,我学习不怀恨于心。
希望他认真地学佛,赶快觉悟吧!别再造恶业了。





另外还有一则新闻:
http://news.sinchew.com.my/node/304631?tid=2

看了真的觉得好寒心。

这社会到底是怎么了?

佛教特别好欺负是不是?我猜想是佛教组织能给予的保护不够强,所以容易让不法之徒利用佛教之名义行不当之举。

I need some encouragement

Recently I have been quite keen on writing blog. Sometimes I really wonder if there's anyone reading my posts. Is my blog being read by myself and ghosts only? hahaha...

Ok, let's do this. Here's a shout-out to those who read my blog, please click on the "g+1" button or leave a comment on my blog to let me know that there's other human being reading my blog, kekeke...

Your little action will be a great encouragement to me! I'd appreciate it very much!

Of course, if you think I still have rooms to improve, I don't mind you to pinpoint my shortcomings. But please don't use bad words or criticize me badly. We are human and we learn from our mistakes :)

See ya! I'm waiting for your response :D

New vision

While listening to a song from my favorite Korean boy band, CNBLUE, on radio, I suddenly have a new idea.

Let's learn Korean really well and be able to translate my favorite Korean song lyrics and post to my blog!

Wao, a new vision for myself out of random thoughts, hehehe.....

Thanks CNBLUE for the idea :D

Love ya, muaks!!!

I need money!

16 days more to go before I am off to Korea, hooray~~~

I am excited! Nervous! Anticipating!

At the same time, I already felt unwilling to come back though I have never been there.

How I wish I can stay there for longer, for at least 3 months.

Actually, before I join KIP, I had a dream to live in Korea for 3 months to experience Korean life. Now I have a chance to fulfill one third of the dream thanks to KIP :)

If I have a good time in Korea next month, I would like to travel to Korea again if my financial status allows. However, I think that would be tough. Hmmm.....I think should do something to earn more money.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!

旅行梦

我很怀疑到底昨晚我有真正入眠吗?

昨晚做了一个很长的梦。那场梦给我留下很大的印象,感觉像真的亲身经历了一样。通常睡醒之后,总是忘了梦见什么,甚至不知道有没有做梦。但不知为什么我常常会有能留下印象深刻的梦,是太压力的关系吗?有专家可以帮我解答吗?

其实,这些梦让我更了解浅意识里的自己。

最近读了小寒(新加坡填词人)写的一则关于带父母去旅行的部落格,真的很有感触。人生有多少机会能带父母周游列国呢?在办公室读完后不小心留下“一时感触”的眼泪,结果偏偏被同事看见,吓着她了,哈哈!我尴尬了!

上星期又收到Citystate  agent 寄来的电邮,自从上次关顾他们一次后就常常收到一些邮轮旅程的邮件。这次的旅程所经过的观光点都一样。不过,是走反方向的,从香港出发到新加坡。看了那封邮件让我想起曾经有过的心痛。那一次,差一点就能成行的旅程让我遗憾的心痛!

就因为这些,勾起了我伤心的回忆,所以才会做梦吧?在梦里,我实现了一家人去旅行的心愿。因为这个梦,我才知道我真的很在意无法让父母出国旅游的事。

有一次,我没经过父母的同意就自作主张签下一套邮轮配套,从新加坡出发到香港。通知父母后过了一段日子,妈妈忽然说不去了,还怪我先斩后奏。我当时感觉像被雷劈一样,好像做了什么十分不孝的事。压力几天后,妈妈又说既然已付钱那就去吧! 后来才发现,原来是跟爸爸吵架了所以才说不去的。被妈妈这么一闹,我从此就天天心惊胆跳,害怕不知什么时候又会接到妈妈的电话说要取消旅行计划。

最后呢?

最后,虽然妈妈没要求取消,但我还是决定取消了。因为妈妈的一些身体状况需要动手术,手术过后还得休养一段日子。决定了取消后,我寄了一封道歉的简讯给爸爸。我给他一个去旅行的希望,最后又让他失望,这样不孝的行为,我至今依然深感抱歉。如今,我还在期待着下一个能够让他们去旅行的机会。

说起来,这件事已过了一年多。

等了这么久,没能让他们去旅行反而自己要去韩国一个月,还害他们为我担心,真的不孝!
其实有几个原因让我迟迟未带他们出国。第一,得在妈妈身体状况允许的情况下才可以。第二,我得有足够的年假。第三,我得有足够的支金让三人成行(如果可以付妹妹的旅费,那就更好,哈哈!)。哎,这样下去要等到几时才能在现实生活中实现一家人旅行的梦想啊?


 p/s: 因为那次的邮轮事件留下的阴影,我现在一日未踏足韩国机场,一日都无法相信我真的可以实现去韩国的梦。

Korean Language learning

Recently I have been learning Korean Language intensively through a very good website and it's free!
I really highly recommend this http://www.talktomeinkorean.com/

Since I'm going to Korea next month for a 5-weeks Korean Immersion Programme (KIP) at Sogang University, I wish to brush up my Korean proficiency more before going there. Why? because I don't want to join the beginner class :P Am I diligent or just too "kiasu"? haha...

Now, I have listened all the audio lessons and started to revise from the 1st level. I plan to learn from another free online resource after this which is provided by Sogang Univ. Here you go, the link is http://korean.sogang.ac.kr/

열심히 공부해요! Fighting!

안녕히 계세요 :)

Change of career path

Recently, quite a number of people around me change their career path.

1st of all, a colleague who is also our lunch buddy resigned. He always said in a kidding way that he will resign, I never thought he would really do. Alright, I admit I underestimated him. Anyway, he is a guy full of passion, I shouldn't be too surprised that he is looking for a better offer and better job future.

On the same day the colleague left, one of my favourite 988's DJ left as well :'(
He is going to study oversea after saving enough money (if not mistaken). Anyway, I support him decision although I miss his voice & humour. Wish to see his update more on FB in future.

Today, I just heard from one of my friend in Penang that he quitted his engineering job on 5May (a very important date for M'sia). Now, he is a property agent, a totally different field. Bravo, bro! He said it took him half year to think about it. But still, I think it's very brave thing to do. Not everyone is able to do that even after thinking for one year or two.

I am kind of jealous of them but at the same time it's quite encouraging, I believe one day I will be able to change my career path as well. I need to get myself prepared for the change.


If there's offer of job opportunity in other field unrelated to engineering, I would definitely think about it. hmm...Should I be a teacher in kindergarden like another friend of mine? Should I be a teacher in University to teach Korean? aiyo, all these need time to gain the qualification leh......

Oh ya, yesterday I got an interesting phone call from a company which I am not very sure what kind of company is that. The lady on the phone said they received my resume and asked if I am interested in the post of admin executive. Huhh? that's weird! I never send any resume, at least not in these 2 years. Did someone misuse my resume? or she called the wrong number?
In the end, I turned her down as I told her I didn't send any resume.

Dreaming~~~would a head hunter look for me and get me a great job? kekeke...

Anticipating a gift to parents

err...actually it's more likely a gift to papa, hahaha....as I don't think my mom will like it :P

What's that? Tadah.....It's Galaxy Note10.1!

Woohhh.....that's gonna be the most expensive gift ever from me. I guess my mom's gonna mumble a lot for I'm spending so much moeny |||

Arrr......I wish I could get it right away so that I could communicate with them easily when I am in Korea. I let my sis to buy the gadget as I think it'd be more convenient in case we need to claim the warranty. But too bad, she is just too busy, seems impossible to get it before July, wuwuwuwu :'(


Ok la.....what to do? Wait lo......

My 1st credit card

Phew, finally I have done my 1st credit card application yesterday!

Recently there's a roadshow by a bank in our company but I missed it as I didn't realise credit card is important when I go oversea. When I talked to a colleague who has just come back from Korea travelling not long ago, I got to know that credit card is needed to rent a phone. Arhhhh, I wish I know that earlier, then I would have apply at the roadshow instead of going through all the fuss I just went through.

Anyway, after back & forth communication for 1 week with the person in charge, finally the application is being processed now. I think the next thing I need to do is to just to wait for the card to be posted to me?

hmmm....

Is it a dream?

Wao! There's just one more month to go. Is this a dream? I can't believe it's true, I am going to Korea! Hey, Korea, man, Korea! It's a land which I can only see in Kdrama, K-variety show everyday. I never thought I actually can step on the land of Korea one day. But, I am going to do so in one month time, wakakaka.....

Ok, here's the story how I end up going to Korea.

One day in last year, I suddenly have the thought to search for a Korean Language class in Singapore. In the end I got to know about KIP (Korean Immersion Programme by Sogang Univ.) but KIP 2012 was already over. I was like "damn, I missed the chance!" So I was thinking to myself  "Alright, I'm gonna wait for the admission next year."

Since then I had been checking the KIP website everyday for a few months to make sure I don't miss the application date. Ya, I know, that's crazy or should I say scary or obsessive? hahah!

On the very 1st day when KIP was opened for application, my engine got started, my blood's boiling due to excitement. I filled the application form without thinking much. I was actually doing a bet, betting my boss will approve my 5-week unpaid leave. Luckily, she does. Hehe, thanks god! (though I don't believe in god :P )

Ok, I'm not going to go into the details of application process. Anyway, my application got approved and all I need to do now is to get myself ready for the one month's oversea life. Goshhh...I'm  actually wondering what do I need to prepare?

My feeling now is mixed of excitement & uneasy (as I'm going to travel alone for the 1st time).
I haven't got there yet but already feel unwilling to leave, can I stay there longer?
Ya, may be in dream, gal....

Time to get back to real life before dreaming again :P
C ya!
