终于...
我终于买了去台湾的飞机票啦!!!! 哇...终于都买了.
从以前就一直很想去台湾观光,但是飞机票贵,口袋又空..想了很久还是下不了手.记得前年末看见亚航的promotion,来回才RM485.那时候我知道这个价格绝对是最便宜了.可惜当时正当经济萧条,深怕工作不保的我,不敢冒险.后来经济开始复苏了,机票就一直在涨,最低也要RM650. 虽然RM650也不算很高,但别忘了我还需要从小新飞到吉隆坡,又是一笔费用.至于新加坡直飞台湾,最便宜也要大概S$500-$600之间.贵啊!
终于,等到了虎航开辟新航线到台湾..我以S$350(包括机场税和20KG的luggage)买下了明年3月的机票.开心到...终于要去台湾了!!!!

粗心大意
原来是我这粗心大意的人把它遗留在昨天吃午餐的餐厅里. @.@!!!
好彩那件衣服只是$9.90,不是很贵重的东西,否则我真的是会...唉!
为什么我总是那么粗心大意!我记得小时候妈妈最怕就是我帮她提东西.我可以一边提一边丢的.要不就是我放下来后,我就忘了要把它们再提起来了.
唉,有时我在想,如果我也可以轻易的把烦恼放下,然后把它们遗留在某个地方,不再提起,那该有多好呢?

宽容别人,善待自己
很多时候因为没有办法原谅别人的所做所为,对于某些事情总是耿耿于怀,无法放下。也因为无法放下,在生气别人的当儿,我同时也背负着沉重的担子。被生气的人不见得知道我在生气,而我却因为放不下而不开心。
很多时候我们总是“宽以律己,严以待人”,希望别人都应该是这样或是那样,但是往往当我们对别人的期望越高时,失望也越大,最终受伤害的还是自己。
以前参与慈济的时候,总是把知足,感恩,善解,包容挂在嘴边,但说的出却不代表做得到。说真的对于知足,感恩,善解,包容,我个人认为最难的还是包容;要先懂得知足,才会心存感恩,善解后才得以包容。
前几天看了一封转载的邮件,看见了一些证严法师对于一些问题的回答。
如何才能不與人計較?
證嚴上人回答:真正自愛的人,是不會與人計較的。自愛不是私愛,若能自愛,相對的也能對他人尊重。如同天平的兩頭,一頭下垂,另一頭就上升。你若與人斤斤計較,人格就會低落;你若謙恭低下,人格就會昇華。然而只有強忍是不夠的,還要吞下去,再把它消化,到什麼都沒有為止。如果一再計較,只會徒增是非煩惱而已。所以要內修謙虛─將心擴大,人人都能包容;外修禮儀─將自己縮小,鑽入人人的心坎裡。所謂「公修公得,婆修婆得,不修不得」,若別人以壞聲色待你,不要與他計較,而應更用心自我反省─是哪一點沒做好,而令別人有所不滿?找出癥結後力求改進,直到令人見了就歡喜。如果是對方錯誤,我們應該憐憫他、耐心地輔導他。如此便能一團和氣,彼此和睦相處,也就不會有計較的事端發生了。
好一句强忍是不够的,还要吞下去,再把它消化到什么都没有为此。好有智慧的回答。
其实师公说得对,一再计较只会增加自身的烦恼而已。
是时候要善待自己了。
看完这篇部落,希望你也和我一样,学习放下,宽容别人,善待自己。

Dissapointed
Getting really frustrated when I'm always the person who care about the cleanliness of this house! It's annoyed that nobody bother to care! You don't care, I care! But why?! Why must I be the only person who care? Why am I the one who always do the cleaning? I' getting so super irritated when it's so dirty and dusty and eveyone jz so blind to ignore it!
If u think u are busy, me too! If u think you have other things more important then doing cleaning, me too! If you can shake yor leg watching animation/ drama episode/ Paktor with your bf and have no time to do this shit cleaning job, then why should I?!
If you think you guys can leave this shit jobs for me, then I'm sorry. I quit! I quit! Yes, I quit!!!
If you think saying :'if you don't want to do, you can tell me and i will do' is comforting me then you are totally wrong! What I'm asking is a fair square, why only me? And why only you!? It's not only us staying in this place, why should the rest of them taking granted!? It's not fair!! You are not solving the problem, you are just trying to comfort my grievances! Can't I complain?! Can't I have my right to voice out my unhapiness!? Why am I always get your expression that I'm so calculative, so un-tolerate! Why?! I am very fed-up! I try not to complaint and even not comment but I feel very unhappy. I thought you were there to share my feeling but everytime when I finally released to you, I get the accuse of not being understanding. This is tiring and I believe you are as tiring as me.
Dissapointed!

Movie: Inception
it's quite a long movie with 2 hours 30mins show time. The movie is about Dom Cobb (Ronaldo DiCaprio) who is a skill thief who stealing secret from others' mind while dreaming. Due to a failed mission, he was offerred by his "target" to incept an idea or thought into his competitor's son mind.
Overall experience: The story line is quite unique and nice. It definitely worth the value and time to watch this movie. Thumb up!
Trailer for you...
Fine Dining
Lobster and Chicken Wellington
the group photo
Checked in wikipedia and found this "Fine dining restaurants are full service restaurants with specific dedicated meal courses. Décor of such restaurants feature higher quality materials with an eye towards the "atmosphere" desired by the restaurateur. The wait staff is usually highly trained and often wears more formal attire. Fine-dining restaurants are almost always small businesses and are generally either single-location operations or have just a few locations. Food portions are smaller but more visually appealing as well."
Actually before we came across this restaurant "Lawry's The Prime Rib", we been to some other restaurant, and our friend said: "this is not fine dining", then we found this restaurant nearby. It's my 1st time tried this so called "fine dining".
Overall experience: food is good, price is no doubt expensive, ambience is eye catching. However, i don't feel that i'm fine dining person. I'm just not so into it.

Discount voucher
So I went to that shop to check out if there is something suitable for me. After a glance, I saw their best selling shampoo and The price is not cheap. So I asked the sales girl if the voucher is applicable to everything in the shop. She said yes and then she lead me to one of their most expensive item and said "this is most worth it because you can save more". I took a look and realized the price is $84 and understand I would save $42 if I purchased that. It is a beauty serum that can help to replenish nutrient, refine skin and all sort of benefits.
I didn't buy it anyway because I forgot to bring the voucher with me so I told her I will come back again.
After that I went back and surfed from the net on the review of this beauty serum. Looks like the reviews are average good. With all the positive comment, I have decided to try it out, somehow I can save $42. Sounds great, right?
No, I didn't buy it at last and the voucher was expired 2 days ago. Reason behind is am I really need that beauty foru
? Am I really save of $42? From the beginning, i have nothing to buy from their shop. However, just because i want to fully utilize that voucher, I going to buy their highest range product to maxize my saving value. That is not right, right? I don't have to spend the 1st $42 to get myself a saving of $42! If I need this product, yes it has indeed a saving, but it's not for my case whereby I only want to use up the voucher and simply find somthing to buy.
I'm lucky finally I get this point and stop myself from spending unwisely.

真实最可爱(脾气没了,福气来了)
因为身为社会的一分子,人不可能完全跳开社会角色、物质、地位与职业;于是,我们都希望得到更多人尊重与喜欢,希望别人对自己另眼相看。
所以我们学会伪装自己,带上假面,覆上重重的保护色,让自己成为一只变色龙,穿梭在不同场合中。
然而,在回到自己一个人独处的空间时,因疲累而叹息,因为逐渐不认识自己而流泪..."
读到这里我的泪差点落下!写得很真实,我就是那么一个顶着一副面具,没有自信,深怕弱点暴露在别人面前的人。
虚伪的以为隐藏真实的自我才会过的好一点!孰不知,我一直在压抑自己也迷失了自己!又有谁会知道好多时候,我会因为过度压抑而在偷偷哭泣,有谁明白很多时候我很讨厌虚假的我。
小心翼翼,思前顾后很多时候只会换来一句"你很假!"
真诚相待难道又会换来一句"你很真"吗?
反正真诚或虚伪都未必能换来我们想要的认同,不是吗?
那何不做我自己,最起码不用压抑自己讨好别人!

省省省...
对于这问题,我不知道该如何回答.说我节省也行,说我花钱如流水也不为过呀!果真有够矛盾的.
说真的,工作了5年,前3年赚的零吉到这两年的新币,我又省下了多少呢?真是残念!
想起以前读书时候,因为家里的经济不太好,4年的大学生涯是靠我省吃减用的挨过来的.靠着政府贷款,我4年来没有跟家人要过一分钱.
一毕业,我很快就找到了份还不错的工作,领着一份虽不多但却足够让我在不久之后支付我那小车的头期钱和一个手提式电脑.领了薪水,25%供车,35%负担家庭,剩下的真的不多,更别说能省下多少.
后来因缘聚足,我来到了新加坡.一开始人生地不熟,我能省则省,那时候还真的可以收一点小钱.但后来男朋友跟过来了,有伴了,也慢慢熟悉了这里的生活方式,我开始不拘小节,出手还算大方的.买东西的欲望从来没有停止过.买这买那的,只要一出门,一定不会空手而返.很糟糕吧..
说说你怎么省钱吧.是不是应该设定一个目标,才比较容易啊?
有的人以买屋子为目标,有的人因为要结婚,有的人因为想去旅行,有的人甚至因为想买哪个名牌包包而努力的拼经济.
来分享如何省钱吧..让我们一起朝目标努力吧..

你有阅读的习惯吗?
我觉得我不是一个爱书之人,不是说我不喜欢读书,但最起码不会到爱不释手的程度吧.有的人真的可以无时无刻都拿着一本书在看..走路也在看,等车也在看,站也看,坐也看,管他电车里的人是多到连站都有点难,他们还是在看!真不得不服啊!
回想从前,我看过最多的书籍或许就是课本和一些学业上有需要的课业参考书吧.读书读书,我记得从小妈妈就灌输我们要读好书,将来才能有所作为.可是,我觉得我妈教育我们的方法是读好书,考个好成绩,而并非培养阅读的习惯.当然这绝对是我个人的看法.事实上,我家的书橱里摆着最少上百本各种各样的书籍.这些书籍多数是我哥和我妈买的,我买的最多不超过20本,以言情小说为大多数.哈哈,这得感谢我当年年少时对爱情的憧憬.
毕业之后,没有了学业的压力,我失去了读书的理由;想说我需要的不一定能在书里的到. 即便是读好了书,考了个还算不错的成绩,那有怎么样?我一样只是个领薪过日子的打工仔而已.毕业了5年,这5年来我不是没有买过书来看,买了好几本时尚杂志,学着杂志里的模特儿如何变潮变美,照着杂志里介绍的商品买了一样又一样..我其实得到了什么?我还是我,一直很追风的在潮流边缘打混,跟不上也放不下.来这里之前,我买了2本英文书(The five things we cannot change和The Monk who sold his ferrari),算是励志书籍.买下它们的时候,我想说一个人过来这里,(当时我先过来,男朋友两个月后才来)一定很难打发时间.买两本书看看,一来可以消磨时间,二来可以增长智慧.哈哈,这两本书到今天就两年了还完好的放在书橱里.不只如此,人就是不懂得珍惜所拥有的,未曾拥有的才是最好的.记得很久以前在慈济静思书轩里看见了一本名为<相约星期二>,翻了几面之后就对这本书有很深刻的影响,所以当我在新加坡看见英文版的Tuesday with Morrrie时,我没多想就买下了.很可惜这本书还是被我放一边去了.可惜呀可惜!
哦,废话写了太多了,上文只是想说,我良心发现了!哈哈.最近才开始要培养这别人可能早就有的好习惯,没错!就是阅读啦!为什么叫阅读呢? 要读得愉悦才算阅读吧,否则应该只算是看完了一本书,对吗? 说真的新加坡这里还真的蛮提倡读书风气的,这里几乎每一区都有一间图书馆,别看小这些公共图书馆喔,它可是应有尽有哦,设施也是相当先进的.只要你是这里的公民或永久居民,你都可享受免费借书.这下肯本不需要买书啦!
我这个人就是贪小便宜,不用钱的,不借白不借,上个月一次过借了3本.每次借书有3个星期的期限,我用了2个星期才看完第一本蔡智恒的<孔雀森林>,然后在用剩下的一个星期看完第二本台湾主播夫妻档永康和佩珊的<聪明省钱过好日>,在用一天的时间把最后一本日本侦探小说家赤川次朗的<三毛猫追踪>给读完.昨天晚上拼到一点多的结论是,原来看书也能看的那么的投入,也可以很拼!还可以领略到生活上一些我们不太会去关注的事情.不错不错!
今天,兴致勃勃的带这3本书去还,顺代又借了3本.希望这次不会半路出家,又放弃了,加油!有空在分享书中所得吧.
P.s.:终于写完了,好长的一篇.好急..尿道快爆了. :(

心理测验
最近在看着蔡智恒孔雀森林,里面就有一个这样的心理测验。
你在森林里养了好几种动物,马、牛、羊、老虎、孔雀。如果有一天你必须离开森林,而且只能带一种动物离开,你会带哪种动物?
不要想太多,只要凭第一时间的反应作答,才会准哦!
如果有人回应,我会发表测验的答案。
解答来啦...
马 = 自由
牛 = 事业
羊 = 爱情
老虎 = 自尊
孔雀 = 金钱
你觉得你的答案准吗? 我的第一个答案是马,逻辑思维是我觉得马可以快速的带我离开. 牛,羊,老虎和孔雀只会脱慢进度..我是这样想的...
如果你问我,那么马/自由真的是我向往的吗? 我想在某个程度上,它是准确的.我确实酷爱自由,不喜欢被人约束,也不能被人摆布.但是同时我也觉得或许我并不是一个可以接受100%自由的人.我还是会想要有人在身边管管我,说说我.那感觉踏实多了,最起码我不会觉得很空虚寂寞.
至于如果我知道了测验解答之后,我会这么选,我想我有可能会选老虎吧!
或许我就是一个自尊心比男人还要重的大女人吧.
为了面子,有时侯会做一些傻事.(有机会在分享吧)
你呢?解答前和解答后,你还会选一样的动物吗?

Blog reactivated
Read some of the posts and entry that i logged here, is like my diary recorded all the happiness and upset that i encountered...but something missed! I've been quit sharing for more than a years.. and i lost track of what i have done during this 1 year.. time flies, it's almost coming to 2 years since i came to singapore. i have all the sour sweet bitter spice.
i remembered the last post i posted was about my bad luck in the other blog..i said i wanted to be more active, join more friends, more activity, be more cheerful.. Ends up one year plus, i did nothing! Still, i got very less friend, i stay at home most of the time after work and weekend, and i gave all sort of excuses to not join and mix with ppl i don't really know..haha how pathetic!?
i gonna reactivate this blog...at least this is the only way for me to throw my tantrum, to seek my balance of life..
