The Queen * 欢聚

圆了自己想要的。嘻嘻。。。 当初为什么要这么举棋不定呢?

终于观看了“女王与我”这片子。没有遗憾,很庆幸自己的选择。虽然这出戏没有艳丽帅气十足的演员担纲,它的题材已足以让我倾心。 =)

对Queen Elizabeth II, TonyBlair, Diana(Princess Of Wales), Prince Charles 有进一步的理解。面对家庭,领袖们,社会大众的期盼和要求,怎能置之不理呢?一向万人之上,深受万人景仰的 一国之君,竟然要面对戴妃死后所带来的种种的束缚,挣扎与挑战。眼前的立场和想法,更得要因社会的变迁而调整,谈何容易!戏中名句 “Shifting of values” & "modernized" & "Monarchy" 等,让女王陷入前所未有的低谷。如果他不对戴妃的死做出任何声明或举动,大英帝国4人中就有1位要她下台。眼见长久以来建立的声望就取决于他的选择,也可以说是他的屈服。哎,实在不易,难为她了!

这部片子让我对英国政坛又多一些的了解,且对高高在上的QE II有更深一层的认识。好戏! 我深知不是很多人喜欢这类型的电影,没关系,为何老是的迁就人呢?

-----------------------------------

惠芬安娣和怡兴安可虽然结婚已经快三十个年头,依然恩爱如昔,煞羡旁人。阿珠姐和LSK也是如此。感谢神的撮合和恩带,神所配合的,无人能分开!

美玉安娣的盛情款待,丰富且热腾腾的食物任你吃,好不愉快!

更妙的是:aunt 惠芬, uncle 怡兴, aunt 美玉, uncle 南国, 阿珠姐,LSK, uncle,金莲,QH, HC 和 我。。。 不断尝试试用那3台保健器材,好不快乐啊!

我家天台上的一位过客

我并不喜欢改变! 但如果这时冥冥中上帝的安排,我无言以对...

故事是这样开始的。。。06年开工的第二个星期二,我急着搭公司的短程巴士到 Queenstown 去。 难得的是我当天穿了一件黄色的衬衣,其实我极少穿这样颜色的上衣。当时,见到一位男生,身上的黄色球衣实在无法让我不注意他。稍加注意,发现他也同属BPD,在EE部门也。 就这样,开始了接下来一年的际遇。。。

‘太神奇了’叫我无法测透,竟然有这么多的巧合,是上帝开太多玩笑,还是来自恶者的攻击,以致我有点心神不定。真的很妙,很玄,我常遇上他。呵呵。。。
1。短程巴士
2。电梯(健身室,午餐,上班,回家)
3。BPD里的前后walkway
4。车站
5。健身室

有时一天可碰上3-5次,有点不可思议!每每的碰头,没有言语上的交谈,只有那简单,淡淡但却很真实的眼神交流。 眼神的交流很让人感动和兴奋,觉得很喜欢,很贴心,很紧张,很莫名其妙,很不知所措,很不可思议。

D&D 的经历更叫我对一个这样的人更为不舍。

终于走到这一章的结束,我很想哭 有点不甘。。。

我对这事
很执着
有憧憬
还存幻想
有所寄望
有所感慨
心存感恩
有许多的无奈

又是惊 更是喜

除了让我无形中
使我的衣着颜色更为绚丽
更向往到公司去

更重要的是 它让我
认识到自己的需要
重新发现自己有爱和被爱的能力
重新发现自己有爱和被爱和需要
重新提醒自己要寻求和交托
再次认识神的主权
再次屈服在神的脚前

我无助,无法完全的降服,甚至还尝试向神谈条件,讨价还价,要应证
是无知吗 是天真吗 是爱昏了头吗 是搞不懂情况吗
不管怎样
我对这种生活的小插曲 是又爱又恨

喜欢心跳的频率 讨厌痛心的感觉好了

如他们所说,也许有一天,我会在外头再次与他相遇吧!再见,LWK!

愿在此谢谢上帝,次莹,Sherry, 庆贤一路上的陪伴,聆听,谅解和开解!!

Into The Desert Exodus 15:22-27
I am the Lord who heals you. —Exodus 15:26

After the Israelites miraculously crossed the Red Sea, they were led into the desert. How strange that God would lead them from a place of revelation and power to a place of disappointment and dire need!
But God wanted to show them that life is a combination of bitter and sweet, triumph and defeat. When the Israelites arrived at Marah, they complained because the water was bitter (Ex. 15:23). After Moses interceded (v.25), God reminded them to keep His commandments (v.26). Then He brought them to the abundance and refreshment of Elim (v.27).
The Lord wanted to teach them that each experience on their journey would reveal their hearts. This test showed they were living by sight and not by faith.
They also learned that God was involved in their daily affairs. He wanted them to know that He not only could part the sea, but He would also supply water for His people. He knew their needs because He planned their way.
If you are being led into a wilderness of disappointment and bitterness right now, trust God, for He knows exactly where you are and what you need. As you obey His commands, He will lead you out of the desert and into a place of spiritual abundance, healing, and refreshment. —Marvin Williams—Marvin Williams-->

We shrink from this life’s challenges—we pleadFor watered pastures never touched by pain;But God will often let us sense our needBefore He sends His cool, refreshing rain. —Gustafson

The more bitter the desert experience, the sweeter the water of the oasis

Last weekend was crazy for me!! =)

Shopped around, got my free 1 G xDram from Olympus Studio, then took bus to BPP. Bought earrings and munchy. Then headed to Jalan Kayu for nice mee goreng, satay and roti plate with CU29 gang. We then drove to Seletar Reservoir for durian and chit chat. It was quite cooling and the company was superb that night. We talked abt our parents, crack some silly jokes and share a bit of our lives. Home by 2 and reliased that Bro was still up! Was he waiting for me? Think so ler...hehe...

Since I had too much of durian and supper, I decide to work on my video clip... tick tick tick.. it was 5am in the morning!1 Gosh, i was very tempted not to sleep but when I imagine myself being restless and having 2 big dark eye rings, i forced myself to sleep... kekeke... i woke up a 930 to cont the video editting. Skip lishi meeting...hehe...

Feel so proud of myself. I think the video is somewhat decent and nice ler...hehe.. I like movie maker. I thank God for the opportunity to use this software for this Cg17 event... Hehe...

counting down...

Honestly speaking, I am still feeling the pain and ache whenever i thought of it. A torn in the flesh but guess it will soon be over.

1 more week to go... =( I cant imagine what would it be in the days to come. Today I saw WK thrice!! Hee... am i supposed to feel happy?? Haa... i dunno ... Anyway... I choose to trust in His goodness

Adrian told me he is leaving BPD. Oops, one man short for SCF team. hoho... Work will increase exponentially?? Perhaps, maybe... but he is still not sure when will he be transferring out. We have been neighbours for 1 yr++.. haiz, less 1 kaki to chat, gossip, work and have fun!!!

SD ar... I miss you... I wanna visit you and your neighbouring places! Hee... and hope to do lots shopping :)

---------------------------------------------

I finally bought a pair of new running shoe.. Mizuno!! Yeh yeh yeh... kekek.. so happy =)

Monday, January 15, 2007

think recently i caught the shopping bug =D Been spending more money ...

Went to Mustafa. Haa... what a shock. I thought i will see alot of Indian and Bangla but to my surprise, there weren't many. Happily bought my first camera Olympus U710. It comes with a 2Gb xDram... hehe... so happy. First time spending so much on gadget and I wanna build up my own asset. There were struggles but I think i am more of the prudent type people, so it should be alright to spend $$!

My wishlist for Yr2007
1. A pair of decent running shoe
2. Camera
3. Ipod

For the last 2 weeks, i bought 2 tops, 1 pair of casual shoe, 1 camera, 2 sports gear.... kekek... gonna to get that Mizuno shoe soon!!!

I buy not bcoz I am rich but i feel like and I need it

---------------------------------------------------------

More work coming in!! I am kinda happy as i can be more occupied at work and learn more stuffs. Finally the bleed saga is over. Will i get e-awards? I wish... haha...

Most projects sound interesting and challenging. It also means we have tonnes of defects and problem to solve. Haa...

LWK is leaving... soon... 1 more plus week. 2 ppl said, i might meet him someday, somewhere =)

BPD had our D&D last Tues at The Legends. Hee... looking at the fellow colleagues' face expression when those female engineers dressed up, i really feel like laughing out loud! Had a good get-together with WS engineers and it was a good opportunity to meet the rest of BPD. Oh ya, the best part is i got myself a color tatoo - Red butterfly on the back of my palm. So cool... and also, the greatest and most remarkable thing is WE actually sit opp one another and had a better chance to take a closer look at each other. Quite funny though =) I guess that is enough. S0 close yet so far.

I had a wonderful evening

running... running...

I reliase I have been running for years... Running has become part of me, unseperatable.

I first started my journey when I was in Sec 4. I went to the Padang on every alternate evening. The motivation during that time was to lose weight.. Haha...

Then I stopped running in the following year as busy with SPM preprations and lots tuitions. Personally I enjoyed Friday coz it was a day which is full of tuitions. BM -> MT -> Physics

During my lower & upper six days, I played basketball occassionaly with those guys. Haa... There were lots guys and only haipoh, shirley and myself. Haa...

I picked up running again during my 1st year in Uni. I ran with Hall 4 seniors and peer around NTU. 3.9km... Quite fun and and I even ran alone at midnight. But the SAO lady advised me not to run at that hour coz it was a bit unsafe. You never know what will happen. Haa...

Yr2, 3 and 4... I run to destress and unwind. Felt very relaxed after every run. Each time when I was about to give up, I keep motivating myself to press so. The distance is like my uni life, I gotta persevere and endure the hardship. I simply cant give up halfway. I may slow down, pace myself but I cant stopt running by simply walking towards the destination. In short, I cant quit and I cant afford to. Running had trained me to have stronger mental will and an attitued for not compromising. Whenever I run, I sing and I pary and psycho myself. Upon completion, I feel real good. =)

After I grad, I cont to keep this nice habit. I jog at the park near by house and went swimmining every now and then. Eversince I join HP, I go to gym at least twice a week. Hmm doing more cardio...

Actually I have been running for 8 years and whenever I stop for a week or two, I feel uneasy. Hee... Must exercise to make myself feeling good and healthy. Sweating is good to me.

My this excellent habit has helped me to have better metabolism, maintain my fitness and I think I am quite healthy ;p I am so proud of myself. Hee...Thanks to all the exercise! I am a weird person, I must exercise even if I am sick.

Lalala.. I am gonna to get a new pair of running shoe. Gotta train for my half marathon end of the year? Haa... Yes yes, I will start training soon ;D

北京行 - 23 Dec 06 - 03 Jan 07

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He has given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now
Let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am weak
Because of what the Lord has done for us

------------------------------------------------

This song was sung twice in two consecutive weeks in BICF (Beijing International Christian Fellowship) I feel so comforted as I know My Lord has given me a lot of good stuffs and what I need to do is to count my blessings and give thanks to Him!!

Christmas & Year end service at BIFC were kinda fruitful. We have people dancing, singing and witness our Lord. Different nations come forward to worship one God, so cool =)

Beijing was freezing cold but I must say I enjoyed the weather. 天寒地冻,厚厚的衣裳,走在街上,更有一番风味!我想我是疯了,喜欢虐待自己,情愿被冬天的寒风吹在脸上的感觉,越冷越兴奋。哈!

北京其实蛮发达的,交通极其方便,上网查询公车资料更是易如反掌。唯一不足的是人太多,随地吐痰的恶习需要改进,还有就是别大声小声地嚷嚷。 食物各从其类,种类凡多;只要你有钱,不怕吃不到好吃又卫生的食物。一元人民币能带你行12公里的路,便宜吧!

有机会到古都,当然要趁机到天安门广场和我所喜爱的天坛走走。其建筑直叫人惊叹!尤其是天坛的建筑构想,古人真是聪明的很,天圆地方,4根金柱代表春夏秋冬四季,12根柱子代表12个月份,另12根代表了一天的12个时辰即24小时;和8根童柱,糟糕,忘了其意义=)

高碑店和保定之行也让我大开眼界!王晔的老家在高碑店,他们可以是当地数一数二的富有人家。大酒店,牡丹园,房产等,大概都有几千万吧!阿姨是人大代表,所以和她说话聊天时也得格外小心 =)感谢神我至少有机会知道他的想法,但我肩上的重担也变得更不轻省。

随手将瓜子壳和水果皮往家里的地板丢,这对我来说可是头一遭。将剩菜剩饭搁在桌上,经过一宿后再享用,这又是一个文化冲击!大饼为主食,冷菜配饭,这就是北方人的习惯也!

没关系,什么都免谈!这就是所谓的中国特色!我靠关系,得到了一张回返北京的软座的火车票。哈!

满城全是金字塔-到北京王府井的首都剧院观赏话剧。挺有创意,极丰富的幽默感,精湛的演技。棒!

我发现我不喜欢滑雪,也许是因为我没掌握好技巧,再加上我觉得我不能控制自己,我讨厌这样的运动! 哈。。。 至少我曾经试过,以后别想了!

12月30日 北京的第一场雪 =)
身在保定的我,从窗户往外看,雪花从天上降下,好美啊!令我我兴奋不已!王晔,欣欣和我到景秀公园玩雪。公园漂亮极了!玩啊玩,终于感冒了;不过我觉得这是值得的。
看着雪花落在手上,实在按奈不住自己的喜悦,拼命玩雪,像足了一个小孩!好难得的一场雪景!

谢谢上帝!

是重新上路的时候了!深信父上帝会一步一步地引领我,迈向新的一年!
