《美丽的遗憾》- 鹰艾文

《美丽的遗憾》- 鹰艾文 曾经年少轻狂 总认为明天无止境 感情不愿全心付出 从不为幸福停下脚步 身边的女孩 放弃了青春 等待爱的承诺 成熟太慢 最终被时间赶上 错失了梦的列车 在她离开以后 呼吸不到一丝香气 世界万物失去色彩 耳边旋律逐渐消了声 之后的恋情 心跳不再有 泪也断了源头 死了的心 错过此生对的人 找不到理由复活 往哪里去 才能寻获 遗憾的解药 奉上一半的生命 可否让时光倒流 好想对她说 重来一回 能不能 话却哽咽了 不愿对她 造成第二次伤害 年复一年 思念不断 仅剩下躯体 曾经做过的蠢事 就连后悔都多余 诚心地祈求 让我遗忘 这一切 残酷的命运 不忘作弄 不懂爱的负心人 这场完美的婚礼 心酸着新郎不是我 但新娘子的微笑 却是最美丽的遗憾 I had that title at the back of mind for the longest time. Somehow, the 灵感 just won't come. Then I heard a story of a girl, the words of regret from a guy & the smile on a bride's face, everything came flowing to me. Sometimes, in life, there's only ONE special someone for us. They don't necessary come only when you're prepared & ready to handle a r/s. Life is just that cruel. The day you let go is the day you're going to start regreting, which you might realized only years later.

We used to be called "Chicken Eaters". Then we always eat chicken when we got tgt. Be it KFC or fried chicken wings @ coffeeshop near our hse. Sometimes, even went all the way to Chomp Chomp. =) After afew years, we decided to upgrade ourselves. Mainly also due to we found another common love!

Ten Tips for Effective Business Writing

My colleague went for a course & the lecturer gave the following tips to them. So, sharing them with my dear readers. =) Ten Tips for Effective Business Writing * Use modern business language instead of old – fashioned jargon. * Ditch the dinosaur writing and those boring, standard clichés. * Use short words and simple expressions. * Be positive instead of negative and you’ll get positive results. * Use active voice instead of passive voice. * Structure your messages logically using Shirley’s 4 Point Plan. * Consider the reader’s feelings and use appropriate tone. * Use grammatically correct sentences, with no abbreviations. * Write as if you are having a conversation. * If an e-mail exchange is getting long and complicated, pick up the phone!

Singapore Hits Awards 2008!

全城焦点所在,年度音乐盛事,新加坡金曲奖2008圆满落幕了! Well, after the disaster last year, I almost wanted to give up hope on my fave radio stn. But I believe in giving 2nd chance, so I went for the ceremony again. It was far better than the last with more singers attending & better performance put up. Results were more or less satisfying. BUT still, some awards winner(s) make me wana pull off my limited hair. I know a handful of you are anxious to know the results. Coz I received quite a fair bit of sms from my dearest readers asking, "Did who & who win this or that award?" So, being the friendly blog owner, Eagle Ivan, I'm here to deliver the latest results to you! (Yup, FM93.3 has released the results on their website. They host this event mah, wat u expect?) But I think you won't get to see/read the other interesting stuff on what the singers did on any newspaper @ this hour rite? Okay, without further adieu, here are the results! 1) 最佳本地作词(Best local composed lyrics) - 小寒 is the

Having semi fulfilled my dreams earlier this month, I was looking fwd to another concert of hers. Yes, my wish is so gona come true, she's coming back! Together with the mature yet cute & witty lady who entertained us to the core @ their combined concert the previous time, Eagle Pan (潘美辰) would be back on Singapore Stage with Zhao Yong Hua (赵咏华). Sales for tixs started yesterday; thanks to Serene for informing me. A childhood dream waiting to come true can afford no chance 2b taken. I rushed down to Jurong Point & bought my tickets. I'd wanted to get the 1st row but Serene said our heads might be too strained. So we got the 2nd row middle seats! Serene & Catherine (飞行侠) who went ga-ga over Eagle Pan & keep hitting my back while repeating themselves, "她好帅!" would be attending this concert with me. =) (I have got to wear extra clothes or put padding on my back this time.) To many others, I'm mad. I can see my dad saying the same thing if he's st

The long weekends are here!

Club Sandwich. Well, I always get tempted to eat what I saw on my friends' blogs. Sy had club sandwich at Dome Cafe, which she posted on her blog. So I decided to try the one at Army Museum, just opp SDC. (Actually, we're just separated by a lake.) Not too bad, but definitely don't give me the kick to try anor time. When I get to my current fave hangout place, Dome @ Dempsey again, I shall try their club sandwich! Chicken & mushroom spaghetti. My colleague had this. He said it's nice & filling too. At Master Crab with the zhus! (andrea & karen was absent though) The food is quite nice & total bill came up to $121.10 for 7pax. I think it's quite reasonable. =) We had 铁板鹿肉,铁板豆腐,菠菜(spinach), crispy roll(some fried tofu skin or sth), a chili crab & a salted egg crab. The crab with salted egg is really nice! \(^_^)/ 真是店如其名,名副其实 Master Crab. (Oh, the girl taking our orders is quite cute!) wahaha *lol* If u wana go try the food or simply see if u can bu

The hard facts of work.

Ever since I became the class rep in poly, my mum told me, "You have got to be fierce to lead!" I never believe in that. So, I lead my class in my own way. I have to admit it was tough. However, I made it through & was respected as a good class rep. I was glad I didn't use my mum's fierce methods. Well, she has proven her ways were right in her own workplace. People were scared of her & obeyed her orders. Then when I stepped into the workforce, my senior colleagues told me, "You have got to be scheming to survive & promote fast. Honest, hardworking & helpful people never go far!" I refused to believe in that. My parents spent so much money to send me through school. Teachers in school taught me, "The faster you reached the top, (especially through indecent methods) the faster & harder you'll fall. As you slowly climbed the mountain of career & succeed in reaching the top, you've already overcome all the obstacles that mea

Who's Boss?

Image
"Tell ME, who's the boss now?!" Extracted from Maxim's Nov Issue:- 5 WAYS YOU'RE DIFFERENT FROM YOUR BOSS 1) When you take a long time, you're slow. When he/she takes a long time, he/she is thorough. 2) When you make a mistake, you're an idiot. When he/she makes a mistake, he/she is only human. 3) When you don't do it, you're lazy. When he/she doesn't do it, he/she is too busy. 4) When you're on a day off sick, you're always sick. When he/she has a day off sick, he/she must be very ill. 5) When you're out of the office, you're skiving. When he/she is out of the office, he/she is on business. How true can this be man? It's mid-week! Hope the above makes you smile a wee bit. Bite on, 2 more days to weekends! Say "Yeah!" Coz it's a long weekend!!

Creativity!

Image
Heard this interesting research results on my fave radio stn. (Though some S**T has happened, somehow, it still is...) Anyway, researchers have found out that humans' CREATIVITY level is highest at 10.04pm! AND, the time when humans' brains can't function(think of ideas, brainstorming, etc) properly is at 4.33pm. So, we should all have our tea breaks @ ard 4.33pm each day! Since we can't work, y waste time? Use it to recharge!!

Farewell is inevitable...

Image
So far, I'm still loving my job @ SDC though the work are slowly piling up. Which means stress wld build up eventually too. But I always believed that STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backwards. What can be so tough about eating a piece of cake? And best is if it's chocolate cheese cake! =) My FAVE! (My weakest point of defense too.) I can give up on fast food, fried food, potato chips etc... Forced myself to like vegetables... BUT I can never give up on CHOCOLATES & CHEESECAKE! Okay, out of point le. Getting back to work & farewell, it's sad to know that colleagues you have build up rapport with are leaving. One man's delicacy can be another man's poison. So not everyone like the same type of workplace as well. To each of their own, we can only wish each other all the best. Most imptly is to keep in touch, yah? As for me, I just hope to make this my final job & perhaps make a career out of it. Things are moving slowly, but at least, it's steadily m

A slow moving Saturday...

Image
This Saturday seems to pass real slow for me... After a VERY LONG time of craving, I finally get to eat my McGriddles with Egg! Went to service my bike. See! I've just completed a 6,000km love journey with my baby! She's the best, bringing me everywhere I desired... It's Maxim's 50th issue. So, they gave a party pack when u buy the mag! Erm, the 2 pack are not condoms... Ey, I think they're sweets lah.. *acts innocent* I have been wanting to tidy my room for quite some time too... As promised, the last photo for you before I threw it away...

Riddles Fun!

My colleague asked some riddles during lunch, here to share with you folks. Q: Why is a koala named koala? A: Koala do not drink water. And Koala in a certain language(I'm not sure what) means 'No Water'. Q: Why is a kangaroo named kangaroo? There were once 2 friends(think is Aborigines). They saw this animal hopping around, A asked B, "What's that?" B answered, "Kan ga roo". In their language, it means I" don't know". From then on, each time they see that animal, they would say, "Kangaroo ". Then we joked and said the next time ppl ask us sth we don't know, we shall say, "Kangaroo". Q: How do invisible man call his parents? A: Transparent

Sometimes, fairness just do not exist...

When I first heard that she was going to be in a movie with the new arising Taiwanese star, I was looking forward to watching it. However, due to another person's irresponsible foolish act, she was pulled out from the cast. Partly due to reactions from fans of the Taiwanese star. The mistake she made, the thing she did, it's her personal life. What rights do the fans have in saying she's a woman of low moral value & do not have the rights to act with their idol? Can every fans of his stand out and announce uprightly that they have never done the thing she did? If they did the same thing, shouldn't they be deprived of the rights to support their idol?! Since he's too holy(or whatever they think he is). The fans said they would not support this movie if she was not replaced. The people who hold the authorities make the cruelest decision to her. Not only was she withdrawn from the cast, her replacement is her best partner in work. Their feelings were close like sis

Health Talk!

Image
We have a health talk on "Diet & Cancer" today. Each time we have a talk, there's always sth for us. WHP squeeze their creative juices all the time for that. The one we rec'd today is really innovative! They printed teabag holders & put real teabag in it! On it, it wrote, "Come along inside... We'll see if tea and buns can make the world a better place." Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. The other side, it wrotes, "Remember - Hot tea is always a good ideal." And on the tag, it shows, "To avoid sickness eat less; to prolong life worry less." - Chu Hui Weng Tadah! The real stuff! =)

The 1982s!

Image
On Sunday, I was out with the 1982s aunties ladies - my dearest Jie, Aeris & Grade A friend, Serene. We went suntanning at Sentosa. Left after an hour, coz the sun was too hot & there were no pretty bikini babes. What do you do on a HOT SUNNY day? Eat ice-cream of course! Super duper yummy-li-cious! (For those readers who have been following my blog for quite sometime, you might notice/realize/know that those food I described as super duper or yummy-li-cious really taste good!) Next stop was Queensway Shopping Centre. Private joke, "Hey you 2! One FINE day, I would be able to wear the police body shirt! Just you wait, ok?" =) Filled our famished stomach with these food @ IKEA. Jie said it's too much but we finished most of them except for the potatoes. Then they went crazy at the children department! Being the youngest & only cute guy around, I hafta sacrifice lah... First, I was a bunny with 4 ears... Next an ET from nowhere... And they said this is a bear&#
