Sunbath day - breathless in your presence

I was breathless in the water after my few day struggle against this.

I am so glad the sun is shinning brightly above me.

A short board game session with my kids

Father love is, playing military strategy board game with your boys, and on the way teach them humility, and that battle can most of the time, be won through peace.

Hahaha! I now got two boys that enjoy playing game with their not-so-old old man. Another item taken out off my bucket list.

Fancy a game? You have to be my son. Hehe.

国家支气管炎

国庆日在不知不觉中逼近了. 近日来茶饭不思, 寢食不安, 有几次直觉得生命力几乎流尽, 一种非常宝贵的经验. 哦, 不过别误会, 我不适跟担心国家大事无关, 我好像还没有这种担子在肩上.

我是得了支气管炎, 现在还在受苦, 不知过不过得了国庆日....

开 玩笑得.

不过, 支气管炎也并不是好玩的. 第一晚睡觉时, 一呼一吸之间总会无法控制的猛干咳, 整晚犹如在坐水凳, 透了几口气, 又被按入水里, 不停的重复, 又重复. 全身不痛不痒, 就只呼吸管道抽搐了又放松, 放松又抽搐. 我一夜都在枕头里告诉自己这是一种精神锻炼.

小孩子在家里不要乱乱许要变坚强的愿望. 坚强的性格, 没有捷径, 也不是天生的.

第二天, 医生给了我一些特效药, 松了我的夜晚, 暗地里颇觉得有点失望.

这件事倒给了我一些領悟. 个人支气管炎事小, 几副药, 几天休息就没事了.

组 织, 团体, 国家支气管炎起来呢?

The new generation, the new textbook

I snap at my son's comic school textbook for fun.

Ok, it is not for fun. I actually resent my primary school teacher who did not inspire our English learning with such interesting pictorial story book.

See la, mum, I told you Green Lantern can encourage interest in learning English, art, humanity, etc. But you don't buy for me, now I not only poor in English, cannot find a better job, also some Singaporean look at me like I am a third class citizen.

Now is Chinese language turn already huh?

False Prophet

Below are philosophical views and thoughts, if you are the kind who may simultaneously combust out of too much thinking, you should stop here.

How fake can a human being be? I mean, how can you tell a fake human, unless you know a real one personally, there is no reference you can rely on.

An example, someone tries to be, or pretend to be one kind when he is in public view, but leads a very different private lifestyle. It is contradictory, isn’t it? But how do you know this is not what a human being is originally meant to be?

I once read an article that someone synthesized egg which consists the yolk, white and shell. It can be break, cook, fried, and taste exactly like an regular egg. Hell, it even has a cheaper cost than a real one. Chemically, it is no different from a real one, only it is not laid by an hen.

Further to this, does a exact copy of a real one constitutes a fake? And be given a lower value than the original?

Walk around Singapore China Town and you will see those fake bums they were selling, I always wonder how many woman bought it, and how many man likes it. It is ironic that we fake in every way in our daily life we can but we dislike fake stuff.

Thanks to Technology, particularly the Internet, you can fake anything but it will reveals it’s true form once it reaches the web. I bet, an evil man may even grow horn on his head if he stays long enough on Internet.

There is a kind of person who screws everything in life but only good in one things he do, he hates it’s every moment, it tortures himself daily and he struggles every moment living in it. But, he is good at it.

What should he do? Pretend to be the false prophet for the rest of his life?

I borrow this photo from Post Secret to put more impact into my article. Is this the time already? I hate to pretend.

How to re-animate a dead frog's leg

The Kitchn has a intriguing video of dead frog's leg dancing with a little touch of salty magic... I could only say, very intriguing.

This must be a wonderful prank from whoever on top

Even we cannot proof why this can happen now, it doesn't mean it is impossible.

With the power of science, anything is possible. Right?

Maybe the hospital make a mistake, did you check or not?

This is what I call the standard of Singapore private sector

You know, I don't read newspaper at all.

I just happen to sit beside him, think he is unlike many other Asian leaders I knew, is man enough to admit he is wrong, and comply to the real standard of a private organization.

He can stay on my site for good.

Is this anti smoking or safe sex ads?

I know what is this! This is a international pride campaign to raise the withered population of humanity.

Smoking is worst than casual sex! I got the message.

The Lovely Bones, my review

I haven’t read the novel prior to writing this review, but my thought here, it couldn’t get better.

Fans of the movie Ghost may find it a familiar scene where Susie was murder, but I want to argue, it was brought to the audience through more suspend, and remorse, after the director left details of the murder to your imagination. You will find that Susie’s spiritual world contains many symbolic messages.

Saoirse Ronan is beautiful, more beautiful than I would have thought before I came to know about the movie, and it is also because of this the tragical atmosphere in the movie is even more tense. Saoirse acting was young, but her every act in the movie was natural, maybe she was being herself. However, I sense that she cannot grasp the hatred of Susie the character, but who can. She already did a good job.

In most part of the movie, it is like a lucid dream of Susie, but she cannot wake, nor intervene. Scene switches between Susie spiritual world and her family’s life without her, connecting each cause and effect, or karma, I suspect the author is trying telling us, in a seamless way. Finally, he who loves someone the most can feel their presence.

But the best part of the show, or the part I like the most, is when the safe box is rolling it’s way to the bottomless crack of the earth, the finally moment that Susie will be free. I can assure many thoughts and mix feeling will come to you at this moment if you are paying attention to this movie.

Will the killer be caught? How was Susie finally free? All so well plot, great movie, excellent story. 4 stars.

No spoiler, I can tell you the killer gets what he deserves, but revenge and hate is not what it’s telling.

(Did Alice Sebold ever visited the other world? I like to think so. There are lots of symbolic stuffs in the movie which I kind of hope they will be better describe in the novel. But this part is not the review of The Lovely Bones.)

纵横现世观

我年轻的时候对耳机一族有不浅的反感，嗯，就是那些整 天以音乐，不，噪音轰炸自己耳朵的时尚一族，常觉得他们是一群不知音乐为何物，好高骛远的年轻人。

没想到，今天的我也跟着戴上耳机，嘴边轻轻哼 着，哼着，旁若无人。

觉得自己好想越活越小，有时更觉得自己有点可 笑。

小时候也没有电脑，电视之类的游戏，最好玩的， 莫过于爬树捣鸟巢，嬉水抓青蛙，还有毛着生命危险在河上的木桩来回跳跃。

有一次在海边游泳抓鱼时，还险些丢了命。

现在，哦，我不允许我家的小朋友这样的玩法咯。 我有时候也在问自己，是对自己的小孩没信心，还是对现在的社会没信心？

以前住在没房没厅的组屋区，楼上楼下，左邻右舍，都夜不闭户，大家虽住在不同单位， 但好像是住在同一家里。不分彼此，有邻皆善。现在，我们在网际网络上萍水相逢，不是朋友，而是假想敌，你虽没开罪我，我也不会主动交你这个朋友的。我有一 句英文的说法，You are skunk of the Internet, we are presume enemy until we are friend. 那是种奇异有矛盾的现象。

有时我要说，人类的科技一直在进步，人类的沟通与交流也在以一种前所未见，没有隔阂的方式在进行 着，人与人之间的感情关系，却好像还停留在古早蛮荒洪流的时侯。

在网际网络上，没有刀剑，不管对错，还是的先较一较力。无势者，非吾友也！
