Image
Ivan's Singapore Maggi Mee! Who needs to pay a couple of bucks to eat Maggi Mee @ HK restaurant? When U can have ur own style of Maggi Mee @ home! Plus, u can add any side dishes to it! =) Anyway, TYL said she's waiting for me to open a HK restaurant. Coz she said, so far in Sg, none of the HK restaurant she went to can satisfy her craving. Mb I shld start from cooking Maggi Mee! But like what I've told her, wait afew more years till I try the authentic HK food in HK itself! I need to eat the food myself to be able to cook it. Just like hw I brew/mix my 1st glass of yuan yang after drinking it just once. =) Heez =P Abit hao lian here.. But the main point is, wait for my Eagle's Cafe, ok? ^_~

美女为何嫁不出去 - Why aren't pretty girls getting married?

This is another interesting article I read from MyPaper 我报。I shall post the exact Chinese article and try to translate it for my English speaking readers. =) 我报 生活版 2008年4月8日 星期二 我们几个女人最爱八卦,每天午餐,几乎有一半的时间用来gossip。那天,May说,通常美女不愁没人追,可是我们财务部的主管朱美美为什么嫁不出去。Ms Shenton我回去后想了很久,或许可以归纳为以下几个原因。 心理难关 第一,心理优越感会让美女延误婚姻大事,认为只有自己挑人家,没有人家条自己的。于是,美女对朋友一直左挑右选。结果挑来选去,身边的男人都以为这个美女高不可攀,或者是一脚踏几只船,最后让男人都等厌了、看穿了,失去了信心和耐心,找个平凡女人结婚了。美女就在这种态度不明朗的情况下,失去大好机会。青春易逝,等自己清醒过来时,发觉更难在身边的男人中选个满意的,到了那时一切都已经来不及了。 期望过高 其次,期望过高让美女更容易遇到感情骗子。许多美女总是不爱正眼瞧瞧身边的男人,老是幻想奇迹出现,能遇到白马王子。于是左等右等,等到花儿都谢了,完美情人始终没有出现。或许,好不容易梦想的白马王子终于出现了,但好梦易醒,后来竟然发现“白马王子”是一个大骗子。几经蹉跎,大好年岁已逝,而美女心中的夙愿未了,又不愿就此降低要求,还没有找到适合人选结婚,倒先成了“怨妇”。 想多玩一下 第三,想多玩一下暧昧的心理,让自己嫁不到好男人。美女知道自己不结婚,身价才高,一旦结婚,就把终身系于一线之上。于是,自愿处于一堆暧昧的情感之中,约会不断,准男友也比比皆是。真正喜欢自己的男人,可能反而会静处一隅。长期处于暗恋之中的男人,发现美女的心思只在游戏人间,最后只好远离美女而去。当美女想正正经经找个男友成家之时,才发现身边的男人只把自己当情人看待,没有一个愿意与她结婚。 遇到坏男人 第四,有些美女由于自身在生活情趣和人生观上存在缺陷,偏偏喜欢坏男人。美女想要托付终身,没想到坏男人需要的只是她的色相和新鲜感。得到了、没有新鲜感了,美女也就失去价值了。像这类受过情伤打击的美女,在感情路上,自然不会一帆风顺。 Basically, the write...

The cold war shall persists...

No1's getting a single point after I said so much.. Since that's the case, I shall say no more... But the war shall goes on... For I love war more than anyone else... From now, I just need to tell myself to control & hold back from replying those useless tags... That only makes my blood boils each time... Just pray my blood pressure has not gone up after this round of shit stuff... 以静制动 - I shall forever hold my silence on this matter... I need no explaining on my end nor defensive words from others anymore.. The decision is clear. An end is here. In my own world, I'm still the winner. I'm the king in my own kingdom. Stay away from my land! I need no one!

《生命的战役》- 鹰艾文

《生命的战役》- 鹰艾文 多少个战场我孤军作战 为谁而战 为谁流血 又为谁而掉泪 眼看我捍卫的土地 已快被敌军侵略 我奋勇抗战 想救的人 却已投降 无数的夜里我向天祈求 赐我力量 还我自由 给我碧海蓝天 我向往的美丽世界 已渐渐离我而去 梦想不再有 仅剩躯体 飘浮人间 为爱我付出一切 为情我牺牲所有 换回的却是遍体鳞伤 万箭穿心的感觉谁人知 没有那轰轰烈烈 又何谓缤纷人生 若不曾失去怎懂珍惜 失败教会我胜利的兵法 向前行 我看见一道曙光 往前冲 是否就能挽回我的王国 Another song done in 28mins. =) Now, I finally understand 袁惟仁 meaning when he told 李圣杰, it's only right that u're sad; coz by feeling sad, u're in the right mood to write songs. When I'm happy, I normally have mental block whenever I wana pen some songs or write my stories. =P

21世纪7种人才

This article is from 我报。It had been in my collection quite sometime. I had been cutting interesting articles & keeping them as part of my junk. So decided to randomly pick one to share tonight. This is one of the column I like from 我报, it's Ms Shenton's section. Google, 我不需要多介绍,今天Ms Shenton 我要介绍的,是Google大中华区负责人李开复和他提出的21世纪人才论。 李开复出生在台北,11岁时游学美国,拥有卡内基梅隆大学(Carnegie Mellon University)电脑科学博士学位,1998年7月加盟Microsoft,创立了MS亚洲研究院。2005年7月加盟Google,担任大中华区总裁一职。 他在自己的一本书《做21世纪的人才》中,提出了21世纪需要的7种人才,我们来认识一下: 1) 创新实践者 : 重要的不是创新,而是有用的创意。并不是你做一些论文,空洞的发表在期刊上就达到目标了,新不是目标,有用才是创新的目标。 2) 跨领域合成者 : 重要的不是深度的解析,而是跨领域的合作。 3) IQ不需要高 : 21世纪不需要智商很高的人,人品、聪明才智、团队精神加起来才是最重要的。 4) 善于沟通者 : 只会思考而不会表达的人,与不会思考的人,没什么两样,所以一定要懂得表达和沟通。 5) 热爱工作者 : 如果你找到了自己热爱的工作,你就会在一生中,享受每一天。 6) 积极主动者 : 热爱工作,积极努力还不够,一定要懂得主动。现代的老板不需要谦虚的人,他需要有想法的人。在和别人沟通的时候,积极推销自己,把自己的才能表现出来。 7) 乐观向上者 : 半杯水是半满还是半空,主要看你是在倒入水杯,还是倒出杯。任何事情要能够乐观看待,只有乐观面对前景,才可能有光明的前路。 Brief translation for my English speaking friends/readers:- Li Kai Fu , President of Google(Chi...

It was not 'MY' fault!

Image
First, the 'MY' in the title was because I'm writing this article from a 3rd party point of view. And all those words describing oneself here is definitely not me. Those I, me, mine, my, etc lah are all referring to a particular stubborn person who has the cheek to say I'm(This I'm refers to me, Ivan) stubborn. 1st, let me present to U my proud artwork I took 20 mins to create! Then, I think you have to click on this pic to see a LARGER & CLEARER version! What I'm going to report to you readers next seem unbelievable. However, these 4 accidents were being encountered by the same driver in just 1 year. The car in crime is being represented by a blue box. Ok , let's look at the 1st accident, which was the most minor of all. This driver was reversing into a parking lot & scratch the back left bumper of the car against the yellow standing posts in the picture. The driver's defending statement, "IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! I didn't see the standin...

My point of views...

Disclaimer:- This article may stirs your emotions and even cause frustration. Not suitable for the weak heart. Should you consider to read at your own risk, the blogger has absolutely no obligations regardless of what happened to individual readers. YOU HAD BEEN WARNED! Continue, curious cats! But remember, curiosity kills the cat! I MAY not always get what I want, but I'll KEEP insisting what I want. I'll let you speak your mind while I filter out what I DISLIKE to hear. The choices that most people made at cross junctions are NOT always RIGHT; at times, these choices were made coz they may just be the EASIEST way out for most. And it may just mean lesser or even NO RESPONSIBILITIES to be bear by making these choices. Often, I do things DIFFERENT from people and have my own way of thinking. You may say I'm stubborn, I choose to believe I was born to be different. Personally, I know I have difficulties breaking ice & talking to strangers or take initiative to make new f...

Spoilt for choices!

Some of you may have know I'll be getting my bike in June... As for the reason behind it all, it's not important. No point saying too much anymore... Anyway, here are the bikes I'm looking at! Yamaha Spark 135 Honda Wave 125 Similar to Yamaha Spark 135 in some ways & more popular among Singaporeans. But I still prefer the Spark's design, though most ppl especially gers wun be able to see the difference b/w these 2 bikes. Phantom TA200 This was already 1 of my choice when I was buying my 1st bike afew years back. End up bought a Yamaha RXZ back then. I'm still very onto Phantom though. But, I think no one sells it anymore. I'll need to get a 2nd hand if I'm really getting this. Bajaj Pulsar 180 I've seen this bike alot of times too. Thought it looks cool, then my cousin, Xiong's considering it.. So I went to check out the forums, a 15litre full tank can travel up to ard 900km @ 90km/hr. Which means 60km/l, that's v.fuel economy! As fuel prices...

But, I have no idea that I even want that? =P It's cute lah, thanks pal! (^^,) The overdued gift! (ROM Date: 19th Jan 2008; met up date: 29th Mar 2008) ROM gift for Cath & Bryan! Well, true friends stay as close no matter how seldom you meet. That's very true for 飞行侠 & me, 独行侠! This girl is so busy that even a meet up was so last minute! I msged her @ 5pm+ if she wana meet 8-9pm @ JB. She called me @ 10pm & asked where am I. Then, I made my way to JB. Just for a short & simple catch up with her & her fiance, Bryan. They brought me to a bubble tea shop named, "New Evolution"(I think). Quite a nice chill out place, but wld be better if there's a non-smoking area! To all my friends, we may not even see each other once a year for some. However, I kept ...
