How can my loves be so perfect?!?!?!?!!!!!!

The husband

The boyfriend (or so my mom calls him... there's basically a nickname for all of them; Jay's the 老公, Tian's the 男朋友 (just occasionally, usually we just go by 小天), and whoever comes and goes is the 愛人.. HAHA)

SIGH I LOVE THEM SO SO SO MUCH. Initial D 2 will very very very possibly complete my life........ I LOVE THEM OMG

Seriously...

I cannot be blamed for being complacent when it comes to lucky draws...

In no particular order:

^ There was $50 in this NETS Flash Pay card. I submitted 3 entries for F&N's Green Hornet Competition, 2 entries won me stuff. I eventually lost the card when I lost my wallet (-_-)

^ I didn't see this message until a few months after the concert... But I still managed to go for the concert because I was lucky enough to have an awesome friend with free tickets.

And this really is not all. Since 2006, I've attended every one of Jay's movie gala premieres (except for the Treasure Hunter one); and for Tian I've also won fan-meet passes/ posters in Malaysia/ Taiwan. I even won Zell-V products for my mom before -.- It's quite surprising how I always manage to get what I want... =/

My mom's answer to this is that nobody participates in these lucky draws that I join. Hahaha. Ah well. But there's always a bell that rings whenever I win something; I seem to think for everything that I win I'll have to give up something in return. Or as if all these winnings are but a compensation for something devastating that's yet to happen. I don't know. So usually if I'm not interested in something I'll just not join the competition at all, lest I'll have to sacrifice something, or just "waste" the luck. It's mostly about conserving the luck. Hahaha. At least the stuff I win are mostly cheap :p

For now I'll just learn how to be appreciative for everything that I have, and learn to be satisfied with my lot. Because I really do have everything in the world that I could possibly ask for :)

Life's good!

24th - 27th Dec: Thailand BKK

5th - 9th April: Taiwan

4th June - 19th June: Europe (Italy/ Switzerland/ Paris/ London)

3rd - 10th July: Taiwan

21st - 24th July: Thailand BKK

Life has obviously been good to me :) I love my life, with all its surprises and uncertainties, because I know there will always be the constants, the certainties, there for me. I don't particularly like the phrase FML because I think it's being wholly unappreciative of what you've got... People in the first world tend to make a mountain out of a molehill. About time we all started treasuring everything we have got :)

***

In other news, life has been pretty mundane. I found a nice little job, have been on it for more than 3 months already. Colleagues are all really nice people, managers are as well, and while I've heard much about office politics I've not been involved in any way so all's good. It's nice to be working in an international environment, perspectives do broaden and I am learning new stuff everyday. I'm glad I got myself a job :)

... Some background on why I even started working:

There are two reasons.

(1) I was starting to hate how I was literally rotting my life away. This struck me especially hard one day when I decided the day before that I shall have mcdonalds for lunch, but I woke up on 10am that particular morning. What's the problem, you ask. Well McValue lunch (then) only started at 12pm. As such I went back to sleep till 12pm. There and then I felt so useless I decided I couldn't continue with this any further.

(2) I wanted the Secret Garden DVD. I was pretty damn obsessed with the show then, and I really wanted the DVD (yes to keep in my cupboard and let it rot away). The problem is it was around S$230. I didn't have the face to ask my mom for money, because I felt like such a money-sucking parasite. Therefore I needed to find a job so I can start spending my own money.

As such, one fateful night, I mass-emailed my resume and found a job within 2 working days.. and later discovered that boss picked me because I was from NYGH just like her. Hahaha. So anyway, the job's nice, nothing too taxing and even pretty mind-numbing at times, but okay I'm happy. I earned enough money for the DVD in just four days, but wow - I didn't bear to splurge on the DVD. No wonder my mom wanted me to start working......... I've really gotten a lot stingier.

EXCEPT this only applies towards small stuff. I really don't like it when a meal (breakfast/ lunch) exceeds my hourly pay. It makes me feel like I'm earning so little/ everything is so bloody expensive. BUT when it comes to stuff that are more expensive, e.g. $50+ or even $500+ I feel like hey it's within my daily pay! Or hey I can get the money back with just one month of work!

Ridiculous how my brain works I know. But anyhow because of the above mentality I've since got myself

(I) A pair of SQ tics to Taipei for my mom and I :D

(II) Sony NEX-5N ^_^

And my pay is pretty much burnt. Hahahaha. So no I'm not paying for the Europe trip. No way I can afford that :( Imma just live off my mom for that for now ^^ When I grow up I promise I'll bring her around the world!! I love my mom like nothing else in this world :)

***

If anyone's wondering, I still love tian as much as I do before, perhaps even more so now. I'm on my fifth year of liking him, or officially speaking, four years. I yearn to see how it'd be like 10 years later; if I'll still like him as much as I do now, if I'm still chasing him. Will be fun to walk down the memory lane :) From a secondary school kid to high school to university and eventually when I start working, will I still be that little fangirl before him? Hahahahhaa. Life's interesting.

Till then I guess! Time for bed now :)

Good night darlings, good night world.

UN-FEELING SINGAPORE

2012-04-19T12:29:00.004+08:00

I don't know what to feel about Singapore. At times, I am proud that we have progressed thus far, from a fishing village to a modern metropolitan city that we are today; with all that reputation for being a investor-friendly nation with corruption-free leaders etc. There definitely are statistics that tell me it is great to be a Singaporean.

But these statistics are just hard and cold facts, things that point towards the "commercial" success of Singapore as a nation- what about the soft power aspects? Do we even have any respect for history and culture? Apart from harping on how we changed from a largely undeveloped island to a developed nation (emphasis being on the successful change and not an appreciation of what we were before), I don't think these historical places are respected at all, they are just treated as bases from which we progressed- and of course with progress comes the inevitable destruction of these places.

Taiwan has its night markets, HK still maintains its old buildings even while it is as developed as can be, Thailand is distinctive as well- with its floating markets and whatnot. What does Singapore have that defines Singapore though? Singapore's greatest asset is its people? Really? People who are lauded as effectively bilingual but really can't master either language properly? People who need to be taught not to push their way into trains............. and yet do so anyway? People who seat on reserved seats despite not falling into any of the four categories depicted on the signs?

The huge influx of foreigners (READ: CHINA MEN AND WOMEN) in Singapore is also ridiculous. I hate China with such a passion that I got an A for CSE based on that passion. What the fuck is the PAP thinking? I do not feel proud of our athletes from China. The gold medals do not belong to us. They essentially belong to China. I do not feel proud that Singapore has such a high number of millionaires. How many of them are actually Singaporean? I am not happy that the standard of living is so high, because along with that SOL come bloody high inflation rates to even basic necessities. THE FUCK? Is our reputation to investors that important that we neglect the true needs of our residents?

UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH screw this, I’m leaving this shithole of a place in time to come.

Thank YOU!

但願人長久千里共嬋娟

2011-12-18T14:52:00.009+08:00

To avoid obligating anyone into reading my repetitive and boring tweets, I shall post this here. Amazingly enough (okay not too surprising for me) I'm still at the ending of No Regrets, one which I loathed initially but eventually grew to appreciate.

//spoiler alert//

I didn't like it at first because I generally dislike shows which "fast-forward" time. Like "1 month later", that kinda thing? No Regrets brought this to a whole new level, there were 3 "10 years later" in the last episode. During this period of time Lau Sing and Gau Mui were completely separated, and that irked the shit outta me. HOW CAN THE SCRIPT-WRITERS SEPARATE THEM FOR 30 BLOODY YEARS????????

After I watched it for a few more times though, it suddenly appealed to me so much. The simplicity of it all, the sweet flashbacks, and the significance which it holds, that time is hardly a limiting factor or a boundary; that it doesn't matter even if two loving souls are separated for an extended period of time. It doesn't matter because reunification is only a matter of time and love can stand the test of time. Summed up perfectly by the 8 words "但願人長久千里共嬋娟", meaning as long as your loved ones are well and alive it doesn't matter if you are separated; sentiments can well be transmitted through the moon. I obviously had to Google for the meaning of this phrase, but its significance is immense omg. It'll really be hard to appreciate the ending if this phrase is dismissed just like that (which I did initially)

Sigh. Way too sweet, and the show did round off well...

紅蝴蝶 (Red Butterfly) is also a beautiful song, especially Wayne Lai's version. People with deep voices give out such a deep sense of security, hehe. Have I ever mentioned how much I love flashbacks? Because I really do. Excessive flashbacks do get irritating, but correct moments it works magic.

Enjoy (not my favorite scene, but the only one available on youtube):

Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang <3 Can't wait for their next collaboration!!

On a related note, I really only do fall for serious guys (characters). Flippant guys are just completely unappealing (refer to Kevin Cheng in Ghetto Justice)....... Profession doesn't matter, I'm just a complete sucker for serious guys who possess some degree of wit) Oh yeah, I also *only* like the male leads.

Sigh

I want to post something, I really do. I've nine consecutive drafts, some half-complete, some complete but controversial, and some just random musings. Either way before I decide to post something proper, here goes a few pictures and a declaration:

Have got no time and no heart in posting a proper post on this incident, but if you haven't learnt of it/ watched the video, you should: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d8a_1318766954 (video is embedded in this link) // Time commentary: http://t.co/2HeWSY3W

AND YOU TELL ME CHINA AIMS TO BE A HARMONIOUS SOCIETY??! Oh wait.. It does need to try. Harder.

.

I despise China. Peaceful development, really? Claims of a peaceful rise? Are you sure China would be able to actually rise with people like that? Next superpower? The world is better off hegemonic (read: with the USA as the sole superpower, not china.)

Don't even bother defending them, don't tell me it's a result of societal circumstances that they are like that. It's precisely that that I despise. And any attempt to justify what has happened will only disgust me further. I don't really know if I blame the people, but either way I hate what the prevailing attitudes and mentalities.

While I concede there are exceptions- some of my best friends ever are in fact Chinese- my irrationality takes precedence for most of the rest; I stand firm that most Chinese need a complete overhaul in their value sets.

Ughhhhh fucking disgusted. Sorry needed to swear right there. GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singapore is way too overrated; nobody should learn from this uncaring authoritarian state. It nurtures only judgmental and uncaring pricks. I'm of course but another product of Singapore Inc.

2011-10-05T16:40:00.001+08:00

Today, my cousin pronounced 鞋 (xíe) as 學 (xúe). I corrected him. Later he read it as 學 again. I corrected him again. He said that was what his teacher taught him. I told him he has to change; it's sad for one to be proficient in neither Chinese nor English. He decided it's a defining characteristic for Singaporeans, something making us uniquely Singapore.

Hell no.

I'm not trying to be smug; my English still sucks, both grammar and vocab, while my Chinese sucks as well. I can't pronounce words properly too. But y'know what, at least I try. Amongst Singaporeans use singlish all you like- really, it's cute- but make sure it's an alternative rather than your only option.

It's disgraceful to only know singlish and actually be proud of it as something uniquely Singapore. It's unique cos nobody would want to copy it. Forget the debate about American or British English, can we first make sure our campaigns work towards equipping Singaporeans with proper alternatives for effective communication??????

Ugh!! (-____-) Learn! Try! Don't dismiss the importance of learning proper English and Chinese!! Gah. I think it's cool to be able to pride oneself in being effectively bilingual, so can we please try??????

Anyway. I'm obviously more critical towards Chinese pronunciations cos I'm more familiar with it, so...

Common errors (more prevalent among old people......)

鞋子 (xíe, NOT xúe. Boots are xūe zi though)
結婚 (jíe hūn, not fēn)

And generally mixes between sì and shì, shēng and shēn, xīn and xīng etc.

On this note..... People, please spell properly. Spell TO out. DON'T GET RID OF THE O I THINK IT'S ATROCIOUS TO SPELL TO AS T. Also, spell thanks and sorry in full! Especially sorry, it reeks of insincerity when sorry is spelt sry. SERIOUSLY?!!!! R U SURE U R SRY? I DUN TINK SO LOH.

GAHHHHH OK KTHXBAI

Okay no j/k it's still xiaoquan. When he was 17 ._. My mom likes insisting that he looks really old, but nah I guess he looks fine here :D If you think about it, actually all these artistes have quite tough lives.. Makiyo started acting when she was 14, Weining when she was 16, Xiaoquan when he was 17.. They all made it this far through pure hard work, and I guess that's what makes that worthy of being labelled as "idols". Beyond the ~superficial~ looks there are really deeper stuff worth pondering into that are admirable.

Anyway.

I'd kill for classmates like that hahaha. Granted my class has its share of ~good-looking~ ones, but bleah.

Anyhoo, because it's really time for a hiatus of sorts, here's a video of xiaoquan (wow I've no idea how the latter part of this sentence is linked to the hiatus o.o but anyway)

Might offer you some insight into why I love his voice so much haha! Take special notice of the way he says 開心, I've an irrational love for it.

Hehe!

Small note about award ceremonies cos I'm honestly feeling rather indignant towards Jay being a potential nominee for Best Host at this year's GBA.

I think awards should not serve as an encouragement. In the sense it IS something that encourages of course; but if you're not deserving the award, you are just not, and judges should not choose a winner based simply on (a) how hard he has tried, or (b) who he is. I love Jay, I really do, but dude his forte is not in hosting. Like how I'd be speechless if tian gets nominated for GMAs one day as well. Because... Yes he can't sing. LIKEWISE, JAY CANNOT HOST. Is it even a secret that the show's ratings were based entirely on his popularity as a singer? And the show's ratings were still low despite that, obviously saying something about his hosting skills. I appreciate and admire how he roots for his friends as well, but uhhhh like him they can't host.

Judgement is entirely subjective of course... But bleah. Honestly. Someone needs to wake him up... (-_-)

***

Also... Let's just say this "best" thing is entirely relative. Relative to the other nominees in that year, and up to the judgement of the judges of that year. Which means getting an award merely means you're possibly better than the other people whom you've fought with then, in the eyes of professional peeps. Recognition of course, but hmmm not wise to read too much into it.

-_- if I'm that resistant towards awards why am I still feeling (-_-) that jay's standing for nomination??? Ugh okay ignore this post. But if anything I'm once again convinced that the golden bell awards are faaaaaarrrny

Tsk.

I just renewed ohmytian.com ._. One of the cons of having a domain name I guess, you wouldn't bear to let it go even if the website/ blog dies. In the sense you wouldn't want to access ohmytian.com in the future and see it being ran as an entirely different site when it once belonged to you. Oh well. I like the name though, so... let's see how it can be revived after November 25th :)

The June holidays just started, I'm pretty much aware of the NEED to study this holidays. Not gonna slack too much time away, not gonna sleep too much away too- I realised the more you sleep, the more tired you're through the day- and gonna study properly, hopefully :)

Quite worried for the A Levels, seriously. It's as if I've always placed quite a lot of emphasis on it yet efforts don't reflect it... It's all talk and no action :( I think I need to find some way around it soon. I always tend to think it's okay for not doing well *this* time, after all I'll make it a good one for the final stretch. This mentality needs to go away.

Pretty much occupied for the entire holiday already, I really really want to make it a productive one. While I'm really rather desperate to meet tian, he who decided to avoid me, I think I wouldn't have the time to go to Taiwan :/ Stupid boy can't you go to army later?!?!?!!?!?!!!!!

To Do:
- China Studies Independent Study (HAVE to do a good job)
- Practice some stuff for the SATS
- Revise for all the subjects, that is 1.5 years of content for all 4 key ones (excluding GP)
- Do up own notes (EFFECTIVE REVISION PLEASE)

I can do this gogogo!!!!

On a side note, politics is something that really shouldn't be discussed, it makes me *so* angry I don't even know where to start. Guess the differences in political inclinations REALLY is a bomb... Don't ignite it. Uhhh yeah. So imma not start anything here too :]

Note: If you are my friend, or still want to be respected by me- or actually, just be seen as a respectable human being as a whole- please refrain entirely from making any digs whatsoever at Mr Chiam See Tong. For the record, I have only felt disgusted when I saw any impersonations of him, even if no offense was meant.

Of course everyone is entitled to his/ her own opinions, but the above is my take on it- do not, please do not mock at him. I think Mr Chiam is an absolutely amazing man, who deserves none of the physical aliments that have since befallen him. But if anything, they only exemplify Mr Chiam's willingness to serve, and love for Singapore. Honestly, my impressions and knowledge of him only came recently, but he's such an inspirational figure I'm just horribly touched.

Nothing but the best for Mr Chiam please.

On the note on the GEs, I've also been really irritated by some stuff. Without going into the specifics, I am
1. Insistent on my stance that celebrities should not be affliated in any way with political parties and/ or figures,
2. Irritated by uninformed statements upon being influenced by a celebrity- i think that's just stupid. Luckily most are just kids though. Ha.

Shan't say anything else cos... I just don't think I'd be able to add value to the stuff that have already been floating around anyway. Nevertheless, to quote everyone else, do VOTE WISELY tomorrow, and may the most worthy parties emerge based purely on informed choices and perhaps, inclinations- and not affected my fear in any form.

:)

Do read the following, and I hope it touches you as much as it touched me :)

Nothing but respect for Mr Chiam See Tong.

Dedicated to Chiam See Tong and all Singaporeans
by Lin Shiyun

In this General Election, I may appear to some people as a kind of political whore. My best friend, Zai Kuning, and I were running all over the island to attend the nominations and rallies. We have not stopped thinking about Singapore (some of you may dismiss it as "politics") since the nomination day, even in our sleeps, and I know that we are not alone. I have many friends who are doing the same, and those who don't run around like a getai star are always faithfully at the computer feeding us up-to-date information like the statellite (you know who you are :)).

It is as if the elections have consumed our lives, but I would like to see it that we are all woken up, and realised that if we do not actively participate and claim our narratives, there is no doubt that the ruling party will literally consume all of us.

I have been planning to write a piece on the six reasons why I cannot allow PAP to hold absolute power in parliament, but after attending tonight's rally at Potong Pasir, I can't help myself but to write about how Mr. Chiam See Tong have touched and enlightened me.

I attended two rallies prior to this: SDP and WP rally at commonwealth and serangoon respectively. I was very impressed by the "Winning-11" team that the SDP has garnered as each of them respresented to me a distinct and genuine interest in the "software" (to quote Dr.Ang) of the society - teacher, social worker, ex-political detainee, psychiatrist... I am convinced that they will take care of the less priviledged in the society, and they have promised to give half their allowance to the needy in the community if they were to be elected. Over at WP rally, although I was not particularly impressed by what the candidates had said, the number of people who were there to listen was intoxicating and certainly, WP will be a great catalyst for change in the parliament.

However, after two rallies, I felt I had a bit enough of the PAP bashing. The attack of the lack of accountability and problems of PAP is of course, very relevant and necessary (I am still going around with "vote opposition" statements pasted on my back) but personally I think I am clear enough about the atrocities of the ruling party: What PAP propagates is basically a selfish, self-preserving culture. All the bad policies and tactics they have devised is a result of this warped immoral thinking, and definitely, it is poisoning the society inside out. I had enough of it, yes, I am fed up! And so I really wanted to know what are the dreams of the opposition parties. I wanted to know how they think about human life. I wanted to know how they can lead Singaporeans to feel beautiful again. Is there someone who can wake up the sleeping flowers in our hearts?

I found the answer in Mr. Chiam See Tong today at SPP rally.

Mr.Chiam began his speech with the question of why he decided to leave Potong Pasir and contest in Bishan-Toa Payoh. He answered, "for the promotion of democracy. There can never be democracy if there is no opposition in the parliament." There isn't a fancy slogan like first-world parliament, which at times really makes one wonder what it means. Mr.Chiam's fight is for democracy, and he will never retire with a peaceful mind if he does not see this happening in Singapore. This is the reason why he has to break a GRC, the dirtiest divide-and-rule tactic the ruling party has devised since JBJ won a seat in Anson.

Do I doubt Mr.Chiam's fight? There is very little room for doubt when you see him in person: frail in physique, strong as steel in the mind, and gentle as a whispering father in his speech. There is almost no room for doubt when you think about how he and Mrs.Chiam have suffered under the government's brutality (he still doesn't have his own office) trying to serve the residents in Potong Pasir the best that they can. And there is absolutely no room for doubt when you continue listening till the end of his speech, because he values every individual as a human being capable of living her or her life to the fullest, and is not just a pawn or a statistics.

I will describe to you my memory of the conclusion of his speech, which took place after quite a long pause. I imagined that his team was worried it would be too tiring for him to continue, but he insisted to carry on.

Like a grandfather telling a story to his grandchildren, Mr.Chiam told us how Lee Kuan Yew first assessed this man called Chiam See Tong. LKY looked at his O level certificate. (laughter from the crowd)

"He counted very carefully. 1. 2. 3...5. Only 5 O levels?" (another round of laughter)

"How many of you have 5 O level?"

My best friend shouted "I don't have any!" as several in the crowd raised their hands.

Mr.Chiam smiled in his heart (I could feel) and replied,

"Then you and I are the same. And I have become a lawyer now."

At this point, the crowd cheered so loudly that a friend who was sleeping on the other side of the estate was woken up by the uproar. After a round of hearty laughter, the crowd fell silent as Mr.Chiam continued speaking (he apologised in the beginning that we have to be very quiet because he couldn't speak loudly). He told us that it is o.k if we are not as smart as the others, and it is o.k if we do not seem as successful as the others. Some of us maybe late bloomers, but all of us have the potential to be better people, as long as we stay true to ourselves and keep trying.

"When there is life there is hope, when there is hope, there will be change."

I will always remember how effortlessly he had delivered that line and how many people were moved to tears while listening to him speak. Besides the immediate reference that despite two strokes, Mr.Chiam continue his fight for change in Singapore, I believe that these tears are also the most heartfelt human emotions that can only be brought out by the encouragement of a most loving father.

It is okay. It is okay.

You have not failed.

I have not failed.

We have not failed.

Just keep trying, my child,

together, let's keep trying.

With each living breath,

We can be better.

We will be better.

Thank you Mr. Chiam See Tong. I was in such a despair after reading and witnessing so much atrocities and brutality that the ruling party and Lee Kuan Yew have done to gentle people like you, Dr. Vincent Cheng, Ms Teo Suh Lung, Dr. Lim Hock Siew and many more people who have been forever silenced in the PAP version of history. I was in such a despair thinking how Singaporeans will disappear with the influx of yet another 1 million foreigners. I was in such a despair thinking how our children will have to grow up in this self-perserving culture that propagates bottomless fear and arrogance thinking about nothing but Money. But tonight, you have shown me, shown all Singaporeans, the light. And I am not angry and upset anymore.

Singaporeans. This election has nothing to do with GRCs. It is time to stop all these ongoing, useless debates and arguments that the ruling party wants to confuse you with. It is time to stop all the hype about Tin Pei Ling Vs Nicole Seah, Worker's Party conspiracy, Mas Selamat, upgrading lifts, grow and share etc.

This election is, with no doubt, about the past, the present, and the future of Singapore.

It is about how PAP has completely crippled our rights to claim the power of our narratives as a living community and worthy individuals. It is about how they do whatever they want without a single question asked or answered. It is about how we, the citizens of Singapore, want the stories of our forefathers and mothers to be remembered and told; It is about how we, the citizens of Singapore, want to write our story from now; It is about how our children, the future citizens of Singapore, can be the writers of their stories without fear.

Ultimately, it is about trying to achieve democracy and equality in Singapore, as long as we have one more living breath.

Singaporeans.

Singapore is not PAP.

I love Singapore very much, but not the PAP.

Please, please don't let them bully and silent us anymore.
