不完美的完美

劉墉先生說道：我有一個朋友，單身半輩子，快五十歲。突然結了婚，新娘跟他的年齡差不多，徐娘半老、風韻猶存。

只是知道的朋友都竊竊私語：「那女人以前是個演員，嫁了兩任丈夫，都離了婚，現在不紅了，由他撿了個剩貨。」

話不知道，是不是傳到了他耳裏。有一天，他跟我出去，一邊開車、一邊笑道：「我這個人，年輕的時候就盼開賓士車，沒錢，買不起現在呀！還是買不起，買輛三手車。」
他開的? T實是輛老賓士，我左右看看說：「三手？看來很好哇！馬力也足！」
「是啊呀！」他大笑了起來。
「舊車有什麼不好？就好像我太太，前面嫁個四川人，又嫁個上海人，還在演藝圈二十多年，大大小小的場面見多了。現在老了、收了心，沒了以前的嬌 氣、浮華氣，卻做得一手四川菜、上海菜，又懂得布置家。講句實在話，她真正最完美的時候，反而都被我遇上了。」

「你說得真有理！」，我說：「別人不說，我真看不出來，她竟然是當年的? 俏回W星。」
「是啊！」他拍著方向盤：「其實想想我自己，我又完美嗎？我還不是千瘡百孔，有過許多往事、許多荒唐，正因為我們都走過了這些，所以兩個人都成熟，都知道讓、都知道忍，這不完美，正是一種完美啊！不完美，正是一種完美！我們老了、都鏽了、都千瘡百孔了。總隔一陣子就去看醫生，來修補我們殘破的身軀，我們又何必要求自己擁有的人、事物，都完美無暇，沒有缺點呢？看得慣殘破，也是歷練、是豁達、是成熟，是一種人生的境界啊！

摘錄獻給每個正在打拚的人！
親愛的朋友我們都是不完美的人
應該相互體諒、
相互包容
溫柔的相待
扶持的相守
隨風行

Sad news for the day.

Within short 2 days following her collapse from stroke
Now.
She left us.

Left behind her beloved homeland
Her unfulfilled dreams
Her great visions
Her beloved families & friends

She used to be such loving
Regardless of race and status
She used to be such inspiring
Regardless of rich or poor

Sailed through all critiques
And attacks by her fellow ethnic
Despite all the accuses
And controversial raised by the main stream media

She stood by her value firmly
Portraying the reality of humanity
In promoting unity among the nation

Thumbs up for Jasmin
May you rest in peace...
Please pray for the betterment of our nation

We'll miss you
And your work...

Enjoy...



Another one

And revise this...

This is What We Call Life!?

It is absolutely right about the Chinese saying that goes "近朱者赤,近墨者黑".

Thanks to my dear friends who dated me out for such a spontaneous outing, of which we ended up with 75% of the misconducts that the Chinese used to describe as "吃喝嫖赌".

Let's see!

9pm - 吃 (Dine) @ Marche, The Curve - Market hawker stalls concept with several food stations and themed dining areas. You need a Food Passport to 'shop' around for food. Was too hungry to snap photos of our food. Overall food was delicious, especially the mushroom crepe, mmmm~ :)

11.30pm - 喝 (Drink) @ SS2 - Continued with 2nd round for few glasses of drinks. Well, we girls ordered for 'safe' drinks too, haha.

2am - 赌 (Gamble) @ SS2 - Here's the tricky part. Our 'unemployed' friend lured us to have games for his money making venture. Well, luck was or perhaps wasn't on his side. He won most games but no $ involved. Haha.

Chor Dai Di

Mahjong! (Thanks for posing, haha!)

My first lesson of Mahjong! I have got a lot of "飛", which was being told that it is very useful. Well, sometimes luck alone might not be sufficient, we just need more - experience, skills and of course, practice! Truly agreeable with the saying goes" 人生的关键不在于拿了一副好牌，而在于打好一副坏牌".

Practice makes perfect, perhaps I shall play more Mahjong. Anyway, thanks to my "猪朋狗友", I'm now one step nearer to bid farewell to the potential disease of Alzheimer. Haha!

Remarks:

• 近朱者赤,近墨者黑 - Turn red while near vermilion and turn black while near ink. One is affected by the environment one is in.
  

• 吃喝嫖赌 - Go dining, wining, whoring and gambling - lead a dissipated life.

• 人生的关键不在于拿了一副好牌，而在于打好一副坏牌 - Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.

• 猪朋狗友 - Pig friend, dog companion. Friends of bad influences.

Ah hem...

Cooking Class?!

Hehe!

美丽的误会

好久没到这储存记忆了
美丽的误会
让我不禁又回到了这片天地
记载这一段值得回忆的"往事"

昨夜我倆都聊得好忘我
因为一个美丽的误会
你激动得快要哭出来了
哈哈
既好笑又感动

白羊座的你
难免过于激动了吧?

可话说回来
双鱼座的我
也不禁涌起了一股莫名的感动

我想
真正的好友
应该就是如此吧

即使身处远方
也会因对方捎来好消息
而感同身受地雀跃万分

好吧
祝福大家
希望不会再是个美丽的误会

让我们
终有一天
可以真正为对方开心流泪
:)

过分!

There was no other word
I could use to describe our action today
Huh!
FIVE tubs of Häagen-Dazs we bought home today!
Wahahahaha!

Yup... five tubs!
Sapu all five tubs of different flavors
At Isetan member sales-lah~

Woo hoo~
Sense of excitement is so high (equivalent to sense of guilt)
Haha!

Well,
As a 'punishment' to make myself feel better
Let's stop any future impulse purchase of ice cream till 2010!

Let's see! Hah!

Perfect Imperfections

This is a community ad initiated by Singapore's authority to inculcate family value.

Ever wonder since when family value became like a commodity product that needs to be advertised?
Sounds pathetic huh?

What a shame to actually learn that such developed country like Singapore or even Dubai are gradually losing touch on family value. Probably not just family value but cultures too.

Suppose that's the trade-off of rapid development? People are blinded by all sort of lavish and glamorous achievements. Ironically, we are losing more than we gained.

This ad also reflects alarming rise of singles and divorces in Singapore. In pursuing excellent achievements in life, people are expecting life partner of a higher standard too. Thus making all the little imperfections unbearable. Little did we know, all such imperfections will be the gems that make us unique.

Please treasure people that you care and people who care about you.
None of us want to learn to appreciate all such perfect imperfections only when we lose it...
