命中注定

Sunday 18 January 2009



你相信命中注定吗? 我相信。


所有在我们周围发生的点点滴滴和遇见的人,都已在我们出生之前被决定了。


但是有时候我不甘心,也不放弃,为我身边的人努力,加油,要找到属于我自己的天空。


你呢?


Alright, a weak attempt at trying my hand at Chinese. With help from Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 and http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_txt, i managed to type that out in slightly less than an hour :)


A while ago, i came across an article about rainbows and someone once asked me what do i want at the end of my rainbow.


Have you ever wonder what is really at the end of your rainbow? I was told, in fairy tales, that there will be a pot of gold at the end of the colorful walk. Is it really so? I don't know, i will never know until i'm there, isn't it? Will the rainbow i created have a pot of gold too?


No, not really a pot of gold. Rather i want it to be something that surpasses all my earthly wants. Or someone.


Yes, someone. I want to find someone at the end of my rainbow. A grown man. A responsible man with the heavy world on his broad shoulder, supporting it with a steady gaze, holding it up with a pair of strong hands. He may be tired from holding it too long but he will never back down, never give up and with his proud face looking up at the world on his shoulder, he will continue. He may tear, for that is human nature, not a sign of weakness. He may get temptations, he may make mistakes but to err is again, just human but he will soon learn the difference between good and evil. He may get discouraged, disheartened, but he will see himself through. He may experience setbacks but setbacks are like slingshots, once he learnt how to use it to his favour, he will overturn the table. He may get badly beaten, badly crushed but he will learn to pick himself up, bearing the scars of his downfall and face the world with even more determination.


Before the last light on my fading rainbow goes out, i want to see a responsible grown up Shane.


That will be my ultimate pot of gold.



What A Waste!

Sunday 11 January 2009



Did you all catch 'The Little Nyonya: The Final Chapter' aired earlier at 9.55pm? Really, if that's the best Mediacorp can come out with, i would rather they save it for their own private viewing. It's like adding insult to injury. With the greater audience terribly upset over the ending a week ago, i'm surprise at the pathetic finale. Now, more fuel will be added to the burning forest.


Instead of the 'blockbuster' it originally was, TLN has now officially become a laughingstock! And instead of pacifying the viewers, Mediacorp has just single-handedly flushed the whole show down the toilet. This finale should never have happened.


What an unfortunate waste of the three-minute airtime.

3.5 Days

Sunday 4 January 2009



I've been busy. Thanks to Chris who told me that someone has uploaded all the episodes of The Little Nyonya on Youtube, so i googled for it on New Year's Day. And i found it - http://www.youtube.com/user/Mediacorpfan.


I caught this show when i was channel surfing last Monday and it got me hooked in that two hours. I don't understand how certain things happened but now i do! All in three and a half days. Thank you Mediacorpfan!! Must be hard work for you.


Btw, why was the photo studio named 'Nanyang' when the Chinese words are something else? And in a pic i saw on TLN Facebook Page, the name was 'Sin Chew'. Did someone get confused in Mediacorp?





Anyway i was very glad when the elder evil sister was slapped last week and indeed, like someone who wrote in the papers, i am hoping she receive another big slap again on the last episode come Monday. I will await eagerly with two large buckets of popcorns and an evil smile.
