The Beauty of Simplicity

Bah.

I am feeling pretty nervous and anxious right now. Pretty glad for the encouragement and people spurring me on, but they are giving me some form of pressure too.

Don't know how to put it, but, it is like I will be letting them down if I am not successful; that they are sort of expecting me to get in, wanting me to get in.

Ronny & Joling said not to be nervous. But, but.....I am freaking out! Alright, it is a silent breakdown. My mind's in a rush now, unable to process anything that has anything to do with what I am going to say later or how am I going to present myself.

Right now, I am wonderiing, why am I so anxious anyway? Freaking out and getting all twisted up when I am not going to get in anyway.

In the end, all these anxiety and hysterics will be all for nothing.

Why am I even trying out anyway? Since I am so sorely lacking. Why would they want me?

But, I know that if I do not go try out today and if there's no future opportunities, I will always wonder what could have been if only I had went.

Haiz. If only Ronny isn't flying today, then he will be able to accompany me. At least there is some one to talk to and some one to calm me down.

Must I go? Can I chicken out, again?

请不要分了以后还记得亲吻过的承诺
你的永久已不属於我
默默低头那时我很多话梗在喉咙

你的笑你的快乐不是我爱太多想太多
我能感受他比我适合
爱放了手我伪装冷漠比你先说分手

请原谅我原谅我不成熟
不爱你是藉口好让你离开我
请原谅我好想自私将你占有
一个寂寞就给我承受换你过更好的生活

请不要分了以后还记得亲吻过的承诺

请原谅我原谅我不成熟
不爱你是藉口好让你离开我
请原谅我好想自私将你占有
一个寂寞就给我承受换你过更好的生活

爱过恨过哭过也笑过
亲吻过你的脆弱
其实我比谁都要懦弱

原谅我必须假装爱错
别让时间倒流我怕说不出口
原谅我没有解释太多心痛
别无所求彻底忘了我

爱原来要舍得

我难过我才懂

如果你眼神能够为我片刻的降临
如果你能听到心碎的声音
沉默的守护着你沉默的等奇迹
沉默的让自己像是空气

大家都吃着聊着笑着今晚多开心
最角落里的我笑得多合群
盘底的洋葱像我永远是调味品
偷偷的看着你偷偷的隐藏着自己

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会发现你会讶异
你是我最压抑最深处的秘密

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸你会流泪
只要你能听到我看到我的全心全意

听你说你和你的他们暧昧的空气
我和我的绝望装得很风趣
我就像一颗洋葱永远是配角戏
多希望能与你有一秒专属的剧情

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会发现你会讶异
你是我最压抑最深处的秘密

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心

Is it wrong to want more out of life than what I have now?

Am I ungrateful and discontented?

Feeling like crap everyday when I wake up and try to drag myself to work. I won't say that I am suffering like hell in my workplace, but I am definitely in misery here. Every single day here is torture and I can feel the life being sucked out of me with each passing day.

People have been telling me that every where is the same and all that jazz. I believe them, but still I refuse to believe that I can't find a place where I will love and thrive at my workplace. However far off that may seem to be.....like a fairy tale of unicorns, the beautiful princess being loved by her one and only handsome prince.

All of us certainly need to work, in order to put bread & butter on the table and satisfy our other vain wants. It is all for money, and survival for most of us. But surely, sure there is no need for such misery, right?

游鸿明 - 楼下那个女人

女：心若倦了泪也乾了
这份深情难舍难了
曾经拥有天荒地老
已不见你暮暮与朝朝

很少有机会见到那个女人
她是那种让人一眼难忘的人
长长的头发紧贴的细薄的双唇
怎么有人美得如此不沾风尘
偶然间我和她错身在走道
她低著头快步地移动双脚
她又让我联想到一只小鸟
终生被囚禁在一座监牢

有一段时间在夜里闭上眼
偶尔也会听见
有点低沉的一阵歌声
用一种很轻的口吻反覆唱著
心中那一段不去的伤痕

女：回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了今夜的你应该明了
缘难了情难了

我是第一个和她说话的人
这也成为大楼里的八卦新闻
听说那男人有家世出身是豪门
她的身份则是做他背后的女人
如果是这样的关系太伤人
又为何要甘心的将自己绑捆
当感情纠缠到难以放手
让多少有情人都为爱消沉

有一段时间在夜里闭上眼
偶尔也会听见
有点低沉的一阵歌声
用一种很轻的口吻反覆唱著
心中那一段不去的伤痕

女：回忆过去痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来拨动我心跳
爱你怎么能了今夜的你应该明了
缘难了情难了

终于第一次见到她的男人
靠著车门她的双肩微微抽动
微暗的灯光看不见脸上的表情
不知道今夜是否还会听见她的歌声

I really am an awkward person. And it is kind of embarrassing and some thing more of a shame, that I am so; when I am an adult.

It is like I do not know what to do with my hands and feet, that I do not know where to use my brains on and I do not know where to place myself at. I do not know what to reach for. I do not know where to walk, when to turn and when to stop.

In short, I do not know what to do with myself. I do not know how to handle my existance.

I go with the flow and I drift along in life, just going where the wind blows and floats wherever the waves push.

You are dangerous,
To my mental well-being.
You are a hazard,
To my overworked heart.

You showed me a different world.
One of vibrant colours,
And of sensory overloads.

You gave me hope
In my world of mundanity and hopelessness.
Giving me the courage
To dream and to reach.
You made me feel beautiful
In my eyes.
And you gave me the desire,
To be a better person
Just for you.

Above all,
You instilled in me,
The belief that I am not too unlowly
To reach for the stars.

'Cause you said, "Go ahead and try."
When others asked, "Are you sure?"

You are dangerous,
To my mental well-being.
You are a hazard,
To my overworked heart.

'Cause I am afraid
Of the gravity pulled plummet
That will come.

If one day, you stopped.
Stop believing that I can fly.

Saturday, 4 October 2008

Woke up at 0815 this morning, went to the toilet; deemed it too early and went back to sleep again. When I was once again dragged to the waking world, it was 1140.

Deliberated as to whether I should go to the gym and work out, but when I was in the kitchen drinking water, my mother told me that there's breakfast; I dropped the idea of going for a run first. I will go in the evening. Yup!

I got back at 2 in the morning.

Ugh.

Fell asleep around 1 hour later as I was SMSing Daniel.

Ronny, Jimmy, Benjamin, Daniel and I went out for dinner at Plaza Singapura's Manhattan Fish Market. There was a rather long queue in front of us, but we got in line anyway. By the time Ronny and Jimmy reached, it was our turn. We were seated in a section where the seats were on a raised platform. Some thing like the stools in bars or pubs, that kind of height. I immediately bee lined for the cushioned seats, while the guys took the chairs. Haha. Ronny being the smart one, chose the cushioned couch too. Then after a few seconds of deliberation, Daniel changed his seat and came over to our side. I was seated in the middle, with Ronny on my left and Daniel on my right, Benjamin was in front of me while Jimmy was seated in front of Ronny.

After we were settled down, we got down to the serious stuff: deciding what to eat. Daniel ordered a soup (that tasted like pasta sauce), pasta and ice-lemon tea. Benjamin got the seafood platter (if I am not wrong) and ice-lemon tea. Oppz....I don't know what Jimmy ordered. Haha. Anyway, Ronny & I ordered the same thing: Iced peach tea, cream of mushroom soup and Grilled King Norwegian Salmon (mine was with butter rice and fries as I couldn't decide between the two and out server suggested that I take both and reassured me that the portion wasn't very big. Ronny's was with fries). In the end, I couldn't finish my food...*cries* The piece of salmon was quite a big one, I had to struggle to finish it (in the end, I foisted some of it to Jimmy as Benjamin and Daniel were too full while Ronny didn't want mine as we ordered the same dish), and the semi-thick mushroom soup wasn't helping any, either. By the end of the meal, we were all rather stuffed. As Daniel put it - he was stuffed, right up to his chest level, anymore and he'd throw it all up. Lol.

It was around 2040 by the time we left the Manhattan Fish Market. We spent close to 2 hours in that dining place.

We walked around aimlessly, wandered into shops and browsed around before leaving and headed to the Minds Cafe at Purvis Street.

Minds Cafe is a place where people go with friends to chill out and play board games while snacking and all that.

After we sat down and ordered some snacks and drinks, we started with some simple games. One of the games we played was that every one choose an animal, think up of a sound for it and hide it in a little house (so that other players couldn't see it) when the game starts. Mine was a pig (thanks to Ronny. He picked that for him. Gah.), Daniel's was a sheep, Benjamin's a duck, Jimmy's a dog and Ronny's a snake.

In the game, each of us was dealt a number of cards and we were to turn over the card as our turn comes. The trick is to pay attention, have a good memory and have quick reflexes. As each player turns over his / her card, an animal will be shown. If there's a player whose card shows the same animal as another, the winner between the two is decided by seeing who is able to be the first to say out the sound of the opponent's animal. The loser will have to take all the cards that were turned over. The game ends when any player is out of cards.

Though, it was kind of a simple game, but we had laughs over it. There were a few moments of tensed seconds when the two players were caught in a freeze, frantically trying to remember the opponent's animal and spit out the correct sound. Poor Benjamin was caught in a blur and he got the cards shoved to him without realizing that he had lost. I think he was concentrating on his drink or the snacks. I had thought that I'd lose this kind of game as my mouth doesn't really work as fast as my brain. But I am happy to say that I won that game.

Ha. I won't forget that indignant look on Ronny's face when it was the last round and I triumphed over him when I "hissed" at him before he could make any 'oink oink' sounds.

Yay.

We only played that animal game once, as all of us prefer some thing more mentally challenging than that. After some rooting through the shelves behind us, Daniel and Ronny settled on Fish Eat Fish. All of us are to choose a coloured fish. I immediately set my sights on the purple fish, while Jimmy chose the green, Benjamin the blue, Ronny the red and Daniel the yellow. We were told to set up our coloured fish on the board, keeping the same coloured fish away. Then each of us was give a stack of cards in the same colour as our fish. The cards were numbered from '0' to '5' and there were a few cards of 'Shark' and 'Octopus'. 'Shark' is the second strongest of the cards, ruling over all other cards except for the 'Octopus' card. The 'octopus' card is some thing like an eraser, it nullifies all other cards, cancelling them out. It is especially good when dealing against the 'Shark' card.

I started the ball rolling and decided to attack the yellow fish beside mine, which happens to be Daniel's. I forgot if I won or not, I think I did. Anyway, once your opponent is decided, both players are to select a card from their stack, lay it on the table on flip it open on the count of three. Whoever's card is the biggest (you must add in the number of fish you have eaten to the number on your card) will get to eat the opponent's fish. Once the player has accumulated 5 fishes, he / she has to remove that 5 from the board. The game goes on like that that till any one of the player's cards run out.

Sad to say, but yours truly lost that game. I suck at it. Ha. The power house is Ronny. All of us were looking at his tower of conquered fishes in awe and trepidation. The remaining players either started to attack him or shied away to pick on weaker opponents. I was out of the game as I ran out of cards. I still had 2 purple fishes left on the board while the other 3 were eaten up by Ronny's red fish.

Sob...sob....And that annoying guy rubbed it in my nose by commenting that, "Hmm...I have eaten a lot of purple fishes, huh."

Bah.

We ended that game on the first round too and settled for 'Who's the Boss?' Angeline, Samuel and I had played it earlier this year when we went to Ronny's house during the Chinese New Year visitation. It was a really fun game to play. It takes self-control and a clear mind. It is all too easy to take things personally and get mad at your opponents. I admitted that, I got rather pissed off at Ronny that time. I went overboard and took things too personally. I deliberately refused to work with him, even when it was in my favour, just to spite him. Poor Ronny! That time, I was lucky to have Angeline as my ally. She really went all the way and backed me up against Ronny and Samuel gave me the occasional helping hand too.

Over the years and now looking back, Angeline's friendship is really unconditional. I wonder what I did to warrant a friend like her? I really thank God for her, she is one of the best things to have ever happened to me.

Last night's game was a different story. It was really exciting, the way every one got involved and all hyped up. We were all negotiating, threatening, promising rewards for help rendered and forming alliances only to tear it down in the next round.

At first Ronny came out strong and won quite a lot of money from the deals that we closed, but things changed for him when the other players start to gang up on him; trying ways and means to foil his plans. It was so as the others deemed him a threat and think that he was having too much money.

Right at the start of the game, Jimmy and Benjamin came out rather strong. Both of them threw out one power card after another, trying to top the other and come out the winner of the deal. The remaining three of us were watching with unhinged jaws as they threw out a few 'I am the Boss' cards, 'Stop' cards and all that. Whoa. I whispered to Ronny, asking if he had shuffled the cards as the two had really, really good hands that the three of us could only dream of.

As the game progressed, it seemed like Benjamin and Jimmy were winning as they had closed some deals and came off it rather rich. The tables turned then and we became more wary of them, especially Benjamin. Among the 5 of us, Daniel was the worst off, probably due to his lousy cards. But, I have to thank him as he helped me when the others were unable to. Benjamin had recruited my character during one of the turns and I have no 'Stop' card to thwart him. Jimmy was drained after using up all his power cards in the beginning and Ronny was subdued too. Daniel came to my rescue and pulled out a 'Stop' card to prevent Benjamin from recruiting my character. I forgot what card Benjamin pulled out next, but once again Daniel foiled him and saved me. In the end, when that particular deal was closed, I shared with him some of my profits and promised to help him whenever possible.
Another person I have to thank for helping me is Jimmy, he always insists on including me in on his deals even when he doesn't need to (it was only till the end that he started to turn against me) and finding means and ways to stop Ronny from getting the best out of the deals.
'Who's the Boss?' is really a game of strategy, needing a conniving mind, a clear head, negotiation and persuasion skills and the subtlety to carry out your plans.

As I was indebted to Daniel and Jimmy, I tried my best not to cut them out or turn my backs on them. There was an instance when I had the choice to do some thing to Daniel's character and temporarily replace his character with a cousin of nephew in the family (in fact a lot of such cards fell into my hands) but I hesitated as he had helped me when I needed it a lot. Then Ronny remarked that I had returned the favour to Daniel by sharing my profits with him earlier on. I was pretty torn up
and felt rather bad as Daniel hasn't won much money. But thinking back, I forgot how things went during that round as there were a lot of threats and schemings going on.

This time round, my 2nd time playing this particular game, there wasn't much fire power. Though I believed that there was some unhappiness with Benjamin when I bought over his character, leaving him with no character to play with. It was with that in mind that I refrained from showing my 'I am the Boss' card when playing against him. Didn't want to rub the salt into his wound. Perhaps, it was the same with Ronny this time round when he played against me. He didn't go all out against me, I don't know if it is because he remembered my response the other time we played at his place, or because he doesn't have that many cards against me or that I have Jimmy as my strong back up. We didn't really play very strongly against each other. I tried not to 'fly' anyone away unless I cannot help it and I admit that I had some sort of a grudge against Benjamin, which had led me to buy over his character.

As Ronny said, it was no fun if every one played nice. Ya..it would be kind of boring. Maybe that is why Ronny is acting as the disruptive voice inside the game. He would try to distract, persuade, wheedle and scheme to get things to work in his favour.

For the entire game, I had only gotten one 'I am the Boss' card while some of them had quite a few, and I only decided to use it in the last round. During the last few rounds of the games, Daniel, Ronny and I started working strongly against Benjamin as we suspected that he had won the most money. Ronny and I sort of allied together during the last 2 rounds and in the end....................

Guess who won??

If you guessed that it was moi, then a virtual million bucks to you!!

Yesssssssssssssss!! I won!

Yay.

In the last round, Jimmy was the Boss, it was a deal of 25 million and the investors were Jimmy, Ronny and I. Some how but I forgot how, the other opponents were disarmed, so it boiled down to the 3 of us. Jimmy wanted 9 million for himself and gave 8 million each to Ronny and I. Ronny wasn't that satisfied and asked if I have any more power cards. I mentioned offhandedly that I have the 'I am the Boss' card and he told me to throw it out. I did. And I won. It was late and I wasn't thinking clearly, only wanting the game to end soon. If it wasn't so, I would have demanded more, since I am the Boss of that deal. In the end, I cut a paltry 9 million from the last deal while Ronny and Jimmy got 8 million each.

When we counted our winnings, it was a close tie between Ronny and I. I won 62 million while he had 61 million, Jimmy had 52 million while Benjamin had 40+ million and Daniel 30+ million.

We ended the game with me grinning and some of the guys incredulous. Ronny was a tad smug and said that he helped me win and like all good allies, we shook hands.

Yay.

I think I am starting to love that game. Maybe I will drag some friends to go there and play again. Maybe the next time we go, it will be just the three of us, Ronny, Angeline and I, like good old times.

By the time we stepped out of Minds Cafe, and walked back to Jimmy's car, it was 0115. As it was rather late, Benjamin took a cab back while the rest of us headed to the car park. Jimmy dropped Daniel off at some where near Esplanade and continued on to Little India area where Ronny alighted. While he was in the car, he asked if how I am planning to use my leave. I told him that I am saving them for days when I got fed up at work. He suggested that we go backpacking at the end of the year. I agreed readily, as I haven't been backpacking before. But I don't know if that idea will come to fruitation, what with our different schedules and Ronny's hectic one.

It was 2 in the morning when I was dropped off outside my place and I was all ready to fall into bed. I decided that it would be too much of a chore to drag myself to work a few hours later and so took my only Saturday off for the month.

It was really great fun and all that. I think it was the time we spent at Minds Cafe that really loosened us up. 'Cause the 5 of us don't really hang out in the same group while we were in school. I am closer to Jimmy, Daniel and Ronny, while Jimmy isn't that close to any of them, except for Ronny as they are in the same church.

I look forward to spending time with them again!

Alright, a quick summary of what went on the past few days.

A group of us, consisting of Joling, Rachel, Samuel, Tan, Thio, Lai & myself went to Yio Chu Kang CC and played badminton. It was really fun and all that. Took some time to warm up and get used to playing again after a hiatus of at least 3 years.

Tan is really quick on his feet. The way his legs moved, fast yet unhurried, accurate and not wasting his energy on extra movements. Lai is pretty good at badminton too!

It was too bad that Rachel didn't play, may be she will next Thursday.

Anyway, after badminton, we went to the hawker centre nearby to have dinner. We lingered there till it was almost 11pm, as it was raining heavily thus Tan and Lai couldn't drive back to Malaysia (they drove motorcycles).

It was almost 20 minutes later by the time Samuel sent me back.

I spent Wednesday in my room surfing Net and trying to nurse my body back to its pre-Monday & Tuesdays activities. Whole body was aching. I don't think there is a place that didn't hurt.

Anyway, I went to Chong Pang to buy lunch (as I was really, really hungry and there isn't any food at home. Believe me, that I was really hungry and a tad desperate, for I wouldn't have stepped out of the house otherwise). I bought a packet of roasted duck and char siew and a bowl of peanut and black sesame tang yuan for dessert. The dessert was the reason that I went all the way to Chong Pang, if not I wouldn't have had bothered.

My craving was satisfied.

Yummmmm.........

Went out with Shuhui for dinner last night. She had bought some things for me from her trip to Hong Kong and the Old Wife Biscuits that my mother loves. Before meeting her, I went home for a swim. I almost died.

Alright, an exaggeration. My arms almost died. They had not totally recovered from the abuse they underwent the previous days.

But they are fine today!=P
