Story - Yao Bu Shi Na Ge Jiao Cute Cute De Yu

Alamak! dunno how to make blogspot display chinese... so i'll try my best to translate.

This "Cute Cute de Fish" is a book by UFM1003. I'm sure many of you might know. I read it in the newpaper about its launch and a little of it's introduction about "Fang Xia" or "Letting Go".

got rather interested about it but because i was in camp i could not do anything.. as time passes i forgot all about it.

Then i got the opportunity to wander around before my driving lesson. And that day i ended up in POPULAR bookstore and saw this book on the shelf. first thing i check was - guess what - the PRICE! haha.. practical mah... $12.90 then i thought "wah so ex.." I put it back on the shelf.

just as i was going to walk away, i decided to take to look inside. and to my surprise, it's all pictures and so little words like kindergarten school books!! what's the first thing that came to my mind? haha... WAH!!! $12.90 FOR SO LITTLE CONTENT!!!! lolx..

hmm... i look at my watch: 1 hour more before driving starts. i pondered a while and thought i might be able to finish the whole book in an hour's time... so i started reading...

-*reading*-

i didn't finish the book, but i was near the end. and it was really worth the $12.90 or even more!

i was quite touched and almost teared.

especially one part which is in chinese:

"sometimes we are so busy with our lives and work that we forgot what we are doing, why we are doing. and when i stop and think, i come to see the world in a different angle.

that day i was having dinner with my mother at the table. as she place the dishes on the table, i suddenly realize how wrinkled and skinny her hands were.

she's grown older, i've grown bigger..."

"ta lao le, wo zhang da le..."

For the Elderly

PART 1: I went back to school today after another very long time. At some point in time, I went to look for the toilet. Although there are many toilets in NUS, it seems that everytime when you need it it's just so far away from your current location. To get to the nearest toilet, you need to traverse 300 yards west, conquer 2 nothern hills and double jump up another 10 flight of steps. Now that you are about to complete your quest, the worse thing that can happen and which it did, is see a yellow sign board placed in front of the entrance saying "floor wet"! What happens next is curse and swear hurled at the toilet auntie inside. I have already lost count of how many times I scolded these aunties silently in my heart, "Lunch time clean what toilet!!! so many people want to use you clean!!! can't you clean other times??" I was not alone, from our body expressions and unanimous lip sync-ing, I conclude that we are all equally F5-ed and annoyed... PART 2: On th...

Believe in a "Best Method"

Today, I pen my suggestion that in every situation or problem, there will always be a "Best Method" to proceed on from there or to handle it. I raised this suggestion back in camp during one of the heated discussion. The purpose of my suggestion is to solve the apparent deadlock of "Should we kill 1 to save 10". (which to me is a no brainer question, but some appeared to enjoy confusing it with many other less important considerations). First and foremost, knowing the implication of the existence of a "Best Method in every situation" puts meaning to our discussion, otherwise, it's just useless talk. This is something I left out during the bunk-debate and i regretted not having the chance to clarify. The implication is this: - If a "Best Method" exist, then we can say there is no other better choice than to choose the best method. Thus we should always choose the best method. - If a "Best Method" exist, and if a systematic way to dis...
