墨大的人是死笨猪!!

2009-11-11T07:48:00.002+08:00

墨尔本大学的人真是死猪，臭猪，笨猪！！！

为什么有人会这么说呢？

1。那臭鸡蛋在Australian Education Fair的时候迟到了两个半小时！
2。那臭鸡蛋说要免除人家的申请费，但过后却说没有免除！！
3。那臭鸡蛋把人家的申请表格退回来说，incomplete, I want you to follow the application procedures stated on the attached form!!!

学生的回复：
1。Education Fair不是十一点开始吗？你的迟到是不是显示出你不专业的态度？让一大群人等你一个？
2。如果你不要免除申请费，为何不早说？为什么说了又不算数？
3。你到底熟不熟悉你自己大学的申请程序的？需不需要我教你？这样一来，不是显示出你有多笨多没用吗？

SZ的回复：
1。她会迟到都是她自找的，已经叫她早来，因为是公共假日，会塞车，但她不要听，还说以前她都早来，然后得等大约两个小时Education Fair才开始，很显，所以这次不想这么早来。
2。她那天收到一整包的申请表格，她一个都没有免除申请费，不知道她在做什么！！答应这么多人，却半张都没有给fee exemption，不知道她想怎样。而且她不早点说，把表格收了两个星期才说，要人家怎样process?别说你，那天有个坐轮椅的女学生等了墨大的人两个小时，终于有机会把表格交上去，然后墨大的人答应说会给fee exemption，但是现在，那个人又说没有给那学生fee exemption,你说我现在该怎么办？
3。她竟然那么肯定她自己是对的，你就照着她的意思做，然后再email她告诉她你所知道的是怎样的，记得cc我，我想看她说什么。简单来说，she is useless, no brain!! She is not using her brain!!!!她们整天都因她们的model感到骄傲，但她们不知道，那个什么model really cannot make it, it's a total mess!!!

墨大的回复：
1。To SZ:如果我坐迟一点儿的班机，我能和其它大学的人坐车，能省钱。
2。Reply to 1st mail:因为你的表格不齐全，所以不能给fee exemption。对不起，是我疏忽，因为当天太多人了，所以没好好儿帮你查看是否有少了些什么表格，不然我会直接告诉你不能给fee exemption。
3。Reply to 2nd mail:对不起，是我没搞清楚申请程序。你没有少给我表格，我会给你fee exemption。

学生的回复：

1。As I've replied to SZ, you should just get a calculator!!! Which is saving more money? Taking a MAS flight to Changi then share cab or taking an Airasia flight directly to Senai?!?! Dumb!! You are seriously dumb!!!!!! By the way, I think we should teach you how to use the calculator too!!!
2。你在撒谎，我见你的时候，只有我一个人，其他人都已经散了，你说什么瞎话，什么很多人？七月早都过了，哪儿来的鬼遮眼啊？哪儿可能有很多人，我却看不到？

3。Maybe you do have a brain, unlike what is said by SZ. But it's a definite PEA BRAIN!!!!

结论：墨大的人是死，笨，猪！！！

Nobody will ever notice me...

2009-11-09T08:15:00.002+08:00

Have you ever felt that nobody notices your presence?

It hurts a lot when this happens among your friends. But it is rather common in the working environment.

Not many people care about each other in a workplace. It is most often just about being by yourself, everyone for themselves. You don't bother me, I don't disturb you. Unless I need you, I won't bother talking to you.

This kind of atmosphere is extremely true when you are in a very competitive environment. Everybody is scared of their credits being stolen by others. So, they often keep to themselves avoiding much interaction with others. They believe this is a way to protect their own interest.

Well, have a read on the following articles.

Title-ship

2009-11-07T22:41:00.001+08:00

Sometime back somebody questioned me why I address certain people deardear.

Well, the whole story started when I was in KL. Back then, a classmate called Grace loved to call us dears. Somehow I kind of got hooked up with this mode of address and started calling my close friends dears too. And it continued throughout the few years when I was staying in KL. A few of us address each other as dears thereafter.

Since then, I sort of adopted this mode of address as a kind of title-ship for my friends. I shall put this title-ship classification in this post for you guys to have a look.

1. Double names
- Certain friends whom I like, I would address their names in double.
- For e.g.: Jonathan can be JonJon, XiaoTong can be TongTong

2. Dear
- Equivalent to Datuk
- E.g. Leong-dear

3. DearDear
- Equivalent to Datuk Seri
- E.g. 阿昌 deardear

4. Darling
- Equivalent to Tan Sri
- E.g. XiaoJun Darling

5. DarDar
- Equivalent to Tun

So, that's the rough guide of how I address people who are friends...

A Mother Who Can’t Read

2009-11-01T14:33:00.002+08:00

Went down to Century Garden yesterday for dental treatment where I met a mother who brought her young girl for treatment too (around 12 years old). After consultation, the clinical assistant asked the mother when would she like the next appointment to be and passed her a calendar.

She was supposed to make an appointment at the end of November or early December, yet she keep flipping the calendar backwards to October and September then August. She then decided to get her daughter who was at the sofa and asked her in Mandarin “This is the 11th month?”, “This one leh, 12th month ah?”. Then, the mother chose a date and asked if it was Saturday, the daughter again told her that was Thursday. The mother could only bring her daughter to the dentist on Saturdays as she works all of the other days.

Looking at the auntie and her daughter, it shows how important education is. And it is somewhat a luxury that we, in this generation have which many of our previous generations could only dream of.

But how many of us in our generation understand the luxury we have and appreciate it? We often just attend schools because we are told to. And worse, many find going to school and studying a troublesome matter and never learn to appreciate it.

And many have dropped out of studies or wasted their education. They never understood how many people are out there hoping to get an education yet unable too. They have also forgotten how the previous generations wanted to go to school but didn’t have the opportunity. They can’t truly appreciate what they have now and cherish it.

But then again, many of us don’t really know how to appreciate things until they are gone anyway…

远距离感情(3)

2009-10-29T07:00:00.002+08:00

远距离恋爱指的不是友情的距离，
应该是心的距离，
两个人如果不相爱，
就算天天腻在一起，
也不会长久，
不过，两个人如果彼此相爱，就算相隔在远，
也会一直在一起。。。

我们经历了好多。。。好多的事，
印象中似乎和他才刚见面，
一转眼就要分开了。。。

远距离感情(1) - 蓓蓓

2009-10-27T08:28:00.001+08:00

一般来说，远距离恋爱是无法长久的，
刚开始会想说用MSN或是电话联络，维持感情，
但是因为时差的关系，
生活作息不一样，
你在的时候他不在，
他在的时候你在忙，
加上缺乏共通话题，
久而久之感情就会慢慢变淡，
到最后再美好的感情，
也只能黯然结束，
与其耽误彼此的时间，
还不如在最灿烂的一刻画下句点，
留下刻苦铭心的回忆。。

误会，冲突

2009-10-26T08:00:00.004+08:00

误会，是因为不够了解，
冲突，是因为坚持己见，
多听，可以化解误会，
少说，可以避免冲突，
将心比心，
是必要的。。。

You & I - A product of pre-determination or spontaneity?

2009-10-24T21:10:00.001+08:00

Planets orbiting around the Sun. But only one is at the right distance from the sun to benefit from its heat, to allow moderate temperature on the surface, not too cold so that all is frozen, yet not too hot that all is vaporized. This planet is called Earth.

This planet which shelters the various life forms, is it a product of pre-determination or just a product of a random event.

How about you and I? Are we a product of a pre-determined incident? An unexplainable mysterious force which determined our existence. Or are we just products of complex spontaneous chemical reactions of non-living compounds?

If there really is a mysterious force out there which has determined everything, from the beginning until the end, then how would you feel? How would you feel when you know that our ending has already been pre-determined too?

Knowing our end will come. Knowing that the sun which warms us from the icy cold nights can also one day deprive us from the right to live on. What if the sun gives off a sudden burst of super solar flare which will destroy our ozone layer, the radiation so hot that it vaporizes anything and everything on the surface of the planet, radiation so strong that it penetrates a mile deep into the earth's crust, sterilizing the entire planet.

What will you do, when the day comes, when both you and I are pre-determined to die...

The Walk

2009-10-22T07:32:00.001+08:00

A nice song.. enjoy...
I went inside. I was not myself.
I was frozen inside an alien form .
You stand aside. Your hand on my shoulder .
But the smoke makes a veil between us .
I walk the walk alone no matter whether people know at all .
I walk the walk alone to keep my sanity .
You know that when I walk the walk alone
I go where no one else can go
I watch you cry for me,you see but I don£§t see.
Because you walk the walk alone.
Thank you for loving me.
Drowning within.
Go on, I£§m listening.
You close your eyes and cry as you£§re playing.
But I sense nothing.So reason on this.
I walk the walk alone no matter whether people know at all
I walk the walk alone to keep my sanity .
You know that when I walk the walk alone
I go where no one else can go .
I watch you cry for me,you see but I don£§t see.
Because you walk the walk alone .
Thank you for loving me.
Walk the walk alone no matter whether people know at all
I walk the walk alone to keep my sanity
You know that when I walk the walk alone
I go where no one else can go
I watch you cry for me,you see but I don£§t see.
Because you walk the walk alone .
Thank you for loving me .
So I walk the walk alone no matter whether people know at all
I walk the walk alone to keep my sanity .
You know that when I walk the walk alone
I go where no one else can go .
I watch you cry for me,you see but I don£§t see.
Cause you walk the walk alone .
Thank you for loving me.

Greed & fear of loss

2009-10-20T07:37:00.000+08:00

Going through the newspaper daily, reports on crime can never be something rare. Even in our daily lives, we are bound to see some people doing certain things to other unknowing victims.

Sometimes I wonder why there are so many evil doings around the world. But I guess Master Yoda explained it in one statement “Greed & fear of loss are the roots that lead to the tree of evil”.

Greed – the attitude of never being satisfied with what is available at hand. When we have money, we hope for more. When we get a job, we wish to be promoted to higher ranks. When we own a house, we hope to have a bigger one.

At the same time, when we have something, money, car, house, job, power and job, we fear of losing them. We are afraid of the day when we have no money, lose our power, etc.

Greed & the fear of losing something are what drive us into desperation, to turn our back on moral values and ethics. Greed for money leads people to steal and rob. Fear of losing power motivates people to backstab others at work.

Master Yoda once advised Anakin to learn to accept the reality of losing someone is something normal. But eventually Anakin was not able to overcome such fear (the fear of first losing his mother, and then his wife, Senator Amygdala). It was this fear which blinded him and leading him to think that by joining the dark side, he could wield the power to control and prevent his love ones’ death. Little did he know that he would be lost in the dark forever.

Once we walked the path of darkness, we can hardly turn back, it is a one way street.

The meaning of ‘Stupid’

2009-10-19T07:41:00.000+08:00

Someone said ‘stupid’ is the act of doing something repeatedly but expecting different results every time it is done.

But the funny thing is this person is also the one which is asking something to be done repeatedly and expecting something new will come out of it.

Do you all see the problem? The problem is the person is too egotistic to see that the person is doing the so called mistakes which the person is happily saying others are doing.

Sometimes, it is weird how one can only see the mistakes of others and find chance to blame the rest. But unfortunately, it is almost impossible to realize one’s own fault.

Anyway, sometimes it is too tiring to tell such people about their mistakes. So, let’s just act dumb.

今天到彩虹大厦去逛逛，没想到竟然会碰到一位歌星的签名会！其实没听过这歌星的名字，但看海报，她样子挺好看的。当她上场时，看来看去，其实海报比较好看啦！！哈哈。。

但是她的声音真的是很好听，唱歌的方式也很特别！这人就是La La或徐佳莹。你们可能会在想为何她的外号叫La La。。她在现场有解释说因为朋友们觉得她长得像只拉布拉多犬，所以简称La La咯！！哈哈。。。

Our Most Important Allies

2009-10-16T08:08:00.002+08:00

"Far too often that we forget that our most important allies are not always the most powerful..."

Master Yoda

In a world filled with competitiveness, many people are fighting hard among each other to clinch the top spot in their world. Much too often, they turn to their so called allies to achieve their goals.

The allies they often call ‘friends’ in public are far too often those whom they think will benefit them, i.e. these ‘friends’ will most probably have certain attributes which others don’t, maybe financially as in being very rich or maybe socially as in having a higher social status and authority.

Having the allies’ influence working in your way will definitely make your life much easier and achieving your goals much smoother than you, yourself working towards it.

Master Yoda once said “Far too often that we forget that our most important allies are not always the most powerful”. These so called allies which you have by your side are merely tools which you are trying to use to gain your goals. As much as you think you are using them, they maybe using you at the same time.

If troubles catch up to you, do you think these allies you have will be by your side supporting you? They are your allies because they are useful to you. So are you to them. When you are in trouble, hence no longer useful, do you think they will continue to be by your side?

True friendship is not one which is built on the basis of using others for one’s own benefits. Thus, only true friends will be by your side when all else comes crumbling down. So is all your important allies the ones who will benefit you?

Is the world ending?

2009-10-14T08:12:00.001+08:00

Did you all notice that the world seems to be coming apart?

A major earthquake which destroyed Padang, Indonesia.

A tsunami which swept through the Samoa islands.

A downpour which sank the Manila.

All which happened few days apart.

Coincidence or is it nature showing us it's power?

Have we taken so much away from nature that it is telling us it can take whatever it wants back at anytime?

The Mayan calendar ends in 2012, so does that mean our world is coming to an end?

The Mayans were once a great civilization which the reason behind its disappearance is still a mystery. In fact, many of the old civilization still remains a mystery to all of us.

We never understood how the great pyramids were build, how giant Buddha statues were carved into giant mountain of rocks.

Funny... What if the world really will end in 2012? How will it end?

I really wonder.

Will an asteroid hit us? Can't be because the asteroid would be spotted by now.

Will there be a major shift in the plectonic plates causing devastating earthquakes around the world and giant tsunami sweeping everything in its path?

Will the sky turn dark and rain pour down endlessly sinking cities?

Will volcanic eruptions burn down every single thing in its path and the fumes and suffocating smokes choke everyone closeby to death?

How will the world end? I really wonder...

讲话这么大声

2009-10-12T08:18:00.000+08:00

为什么印度人讲话那么大声的？？？

他们普通讲话很想要吵架，要打架似的。

真是吵死了！！

要好好儿睡一觉都不行。整晚被人吵醒。。哦天！！

普通的说话都这样了，你们可以想象他们真的吵起来的时候会是怎样的吗？

哈哈。。当然更恐怖咯。

咳。。今天要做什么？很像有好多东西得做咧。。

让我想想，才决定要做什么吧。。可以偷睡吗？？哈哈。。

蝶仙

2009-10-11T14:19:00.000+08:00

你们有玩过蝶仙吗？还是看过别人玩呢？

你们相信蝶仙这门玩艺儿吗？

刚才看部电视剧里的人玩这东西，让我想起了中学时候的Puan Lim突然在周会时警告大家不要玩这种东西。

过后才知道，原来有几个预备班的同学在学校里玩蝶仙，过后几个星期，他们都心神不宁。

最后还得在学校里拜拜，烧纸钱来解决问题。

几个手指点在碟子上，碟子就会动，动的原理在于什么，你们知道吗？是它自己动，还是有人在推？

你们敢玩吗？

他真烂，根本都不是个100分的朋友！

2009-10-05T08:18:00.002+08:00

我收到以下的短讯：
********************************************************
某一天，小明在路上发现了一只受伤的乌鸦就把它带回家医治。从那天开始，小明和乌鸦就成了好朋友。

有一天，小名看见乌鸦似乎有点儿伤心便问它：‘你为何不快乐啊？’

乌鸦回答说：‘我从小就有个梦想，就是成为歌星，但是你也知道我的歌声很烂’

小明告诉乌鸦说：‘没关系，我有办法，我们来组成二重唱吧’

从此以后，小明和乌鸦所唱的歌就红透了半天边。

小明：我的热情
乌鸦：啊！

小明：好像一把火
乌鸦：啊！

小明：燃烧了整个沙漠
乌鸦：啊！

这首歌大家都应该很熟悉吧？就是‘热情沙漠’。。
********************************************************

这短讯是说，其实，没有一个人能真正做为别人一百分的朋友。每个人都有缺点，都有达不到其他朋友心里的标准。

但只要把两个在彼此心里只有50分的朋友凑在一起，那么就会有100分的友情了。。。

A Trip to the Zoo

2009-10-03T20:50:00.003+08:00

Last week I went to zoo for a race! ahaha... yea yea, quite fun!! run here and there to search for clues and answer questions... completing task before proceeding to the next station. Sounds like Amazing Race right?! yes it is!! haha... but smaller singapore style!

At first my team thought we were losing but eventually we won 2nd prize!! wooo.. really fun, not forgetting we have two members who are in their 40s yet running with us along the stations to solve the puzzles! hahaha...

Even at their age, they were sporting enough to mingle with us.... really fun!! haha... Love the zoo... the bad thing about the race is I didnt really get to see the zoo properly as we were all running here and there.. I wonder if anyone is willing to accompany me to the zoo again later this year.. hehe...
Poor thing the auntie felt unwell after all the running but she was ok after that! hahaha...
