反调
胜败乃兵家常事
...但输赢乃事关重大
最好的
...不一定会赢
赢家
...不见得是最好的
只要知道自己是最好的就可以了
...真的吗？

An Enchanted Life
大家应该都知道我是不看电视节目的。我没有跟随电视连续剧的习惯。可是我好象迷上了《钻石情缘》。
因为这两晚都迟回。到家也九点钟了，吃饭时顺便看客厅的电视播放着些什么。结果就看见了好象是第一集的什么什么剧情。看到有一个男主角(刚好是那个不是很会演戏的)在里头，本来不想看下去；不过，吃饭后休息嘛，所以决定看完它...不错嘛，好象有点吸引人...
星期二晚上又迟回。到家刚好也是九点钟。又重复了前一个晚上的‘看’。后来就真的发现很想再追看下去了。不过我知道接下来的播放我都会错过了。
也许，一开始吸引我的是有台湾的背景？(不知是不是假的背景)...再来是觉得林湘萍的角色有点搞笑豪放...也觉得谢宛谕的角色很有内心戏(同时也觉得她演得很好)...两位发挥的尺度很大 (不过看得出：林湘萍，你老了哦 ^^")...
后来也不知怎么的觉得为何林湘萍的装扮和态度是乎似曾相识...啊~有前任女友的阴影...
也许片名取得很好...enchanted life...hmm...enchant me???

Vivocity
The name "VivoCity", which is derived from the word "vivacity", evokes a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality. It feels alive.
The VivoCity identity is inspired by a sense of natural energy and flow. Its organic and dynamic nature expresses the stimulating experience, reflects the energy in the name and complements the architectural vision. .
All these that has been said...those who went on Sat would have realised that 90% of the shops have not opened...it is far from "alive"...and those who purposely dressed up to kill all eyes to go shop were such 'out-standing' figures among the 'dead' shops...ha, what a sight for me and a fren who were waiting for other friends...we were there checking it out since we were going for a wedding dinner at Harbour Front...
Let's see if the place Vivo-s given a few months' time...

Library@Bishan 300906
Decided to go check out the library at Bishan since I was to wait for my car (servicing). The library has caught my eyes a few weeks back with its trendy outlook and crowd bustling walk-ins walk-outs.
Stepping in, can feel the class and brightness inside. There are alot of chairs/sofas and alot of schoolchildren inside mugging (or pretending to be mugging). Alot of parents bringing their age 3-7 kids browsing for children books, cartoons, discs etc...
在最高的一层楼找到了一个靠窗的沙发椅。把即将阅完的书本拿出。那独自、清静(虽然 its not 清静 at all, coz the general trend of library has changed...with ple mugging in groups, sitting all over...even on the floors...and with chit-chatting all over and hps beeping here and there...but 清静 in the sense that im indulged in my own reading and free from other things) 和享阅的滋味渐渐入侵我的世界里。
Set a time to go back and collect car, but then, it started raining. Decided to carry on reading, and since im down to the last few pages of the books, 决定把它读完。也终於，我把《死神首曲II》‘干掉’了...也代表我终於把《死神首曲》系列读完了。
也恰好，最近我也读完了 Tuesdays With Morrie...and this book can be linked to The 5 People You Meet In Heaven.(pics of these 2 bks will upload again once i can snap them as they are currently with a fren) So tying in all these 4 books (2 english 2 chi)...这四本书的共同点就是：生命/死亡的意义和重要性。当然，当中还有很多影射性的人生/再生观点。
不想在这里做 book reviews...all i wanna say is that 读了这四本书，对人生观的启发性很大。recommend these 4 books to anyone of a relatively decent age.
Some observations in the library other than those schoolchildren. 2 Sofas opp. me (side by side)...a couple...the lady was reading, the guy was toying with the discs borrowed on his laptop...the sofa beside me, after a guy left, 1x father brought along 2 little gals to confirm and check out the discs/cartoons they borrowed...they left, a mother and a daughter came along and tried squeezing into the sofa; they left for the 2x sofas behind me shortly...and then came along a father with 1x little boy who is about 2 or 3 yrs old...the little kid climbed onto the sofa and peered at me while his dad checked out the discs on the shelves...i smiled at the little boy and he played abit of peek-a-boo at me b4 his dad collected him and they moved off...
Got me thinking: maybe there will be lots more chances to spend at the librarlibraries in the duno-when future...

I ate 6 cakes in total already!! Omigoodness~!~!~! And the freaking blueberry ones sux big time!
Game 3: Losers (team of 2 ple) finish everything seen here:
I don't want to eat anymore!!
The way we play is we wouldn't know who is in the same team til the game ends...then we will draw lots to determine the team...haa, damn interesting and exciting ba!
Sometimes play well also no use de...will still lose...haha ^^"
Please let me not be in the losing team!!!
Results:
And after the game after drawing lots...team-up is 1st and 2nd; 3rd and 4th...haa 3rd n 4th team up confirmed lose!! Then we realised also the balls churned out and kept in the middle (by chance all stayed in middle)...and its with the winning ball from bottom to top(JJ, VIN, JASEN, JV)......wahaha!! No need to eat!! ^^"
After all these still went to Bugis/Liang Seah there to eat at the Hongkong Cafe around 4am...
Then after that straightaway went to Jalan Besar to eat again!! Dim Sum...arnd 4.30am...^^"

20 years ago...
This is scary...it totally is...but its the way life goes...
Had a good sat at my grandparents place...not a place that i frequent...so when I appear, the little ones(cousins) will go 'justin kor kor u are here!!' feels like I'm like making a special star/guest appearance...hahaa =)
The little gals were playing this origami game which u fold into something like 4 petals and u can slot ur 2 thumbs and 2 index fingers in to control the alternate openings...and they asked me to play and pick the numbers inside so that i can win a prize or something...i recalled the game and i just blurted out telling them 'wah, tts what i played 20yrs ago!'
Now, that is scary!
Imagine the no. of years had gone by totally...I'm tt old already!?!
Some things that we play will never change it seems...tts comforting and nostalgic =)
But on the contrary when you hear and ple ask u to do something which jolts ur memory down the lane that u did that 20years ago...woah, tts just...reality check.
And actually...cousins should belong to the same generation/era rite...but it seems like within my this family line of cousins, there are 2 generations! The 'batch' of little ones (5 of them) are all in Pri Sch with their eldest being Sec 1 this yr...and my 'batch' (6 of us) with me being the eldest and the youngest in Poly...this makes us (same generation) like have 2 generations...haa coz their parents late marriage...
So...everything seems to be linked...time just go by...ur age...u r aging...events overtaken by events...events still carry on as they are...marriage...kids...bla bla bla...whatever it is...we are getting old...pls ensure u are living ur worth...and do a reality check everynow and then...
Its getting scarier...
(But then again, if u can embrace it fully, its not that scary...)
(this is suppose to be a long post, incorporating another post with 4 Books...as i recently completed the 'so called series of the books'...but i cant snap pics of them yet coz 2 of them are with my fren, so i'll bring this topic back again soon...its all gota do with meaning of Life/Death)
