Wall Street Journal on MY politics

Uhm...didn't know that Malaysia politics will appear at the WSJ...this is interesting...it looks like the politics in our country really create the attention in the oversea market...this is an excerpt from the Wall Street Journal and it's rather reported objectively...no hint of bias here...it's great...i just hope if there's any change in regime, please make it a peaceful one...we don't want the history of 1969 to happen again...God bless Malaysia....

It's Autumn at Tokyo

This will be my first experience of autumn in Tokyo...Today the weather drop down to 21 Celsius...that's really cold...but I swear it's colder than that when the wind blow...especially with the downpour this morning that continue to the evening, after my class...

Was wearing my cool looking coat for winter actually...to school and my classmates was like looking at me and laughing like hell...haha...well...I'm really cold, are you kidding me...my tolerance level I guess it's around 23 Celsius...without the wind blowing of course...which is impossible...

God bless the earth and weather please...sometimes the weather seems to be so unpredictable that I really think the accolopsy/Armageddon is coming...religious or not...think if we don't take precaution to take care of the earth...it's not going to last any longer...I have already nieces/small kids who questions about the existence of real life chicken other than the one they eat-KFC...uhm...that's just sad...

Trip to East Garden, Tokyo

East Garden by the lake
Magnificent trees
Great surrounding
On a stroll with fellow classmates
How much more beautiful can it be?

Foundation week is nearing to an end this Friday...it has been a fresh week where the weight of the study actually bored down on us...I need to really examine myself and overcome the shyness to speak in class as our class participation really contribute to our grade...I am not so used to this system...can't say I like it...yea...who like changes...I guess no one does...have to try...

Anyway, there's a park that is near our school...about 5-10 minutes walk and it's absolutely gorgeous...if my daily schedule isn't so pack then, I would really love to take a study break or even study here...

On that matter, why do people go for grad study? Do they actually want to learn something? Take a break from work or just want to have fun? I used to think that learning is fun but not after our foundation week...it seems like the school is very rigid in certain thing...Grade is something near to my heart but it all seems so fragile now...

Finger cross...pray for me u guys...really need that now...School officially start next week...

真意

為了客氣,隱藏真心;為了面子,委屈真意-噯------




真意
為了面子,委屈真意。到底要什麼?直說嘛!

有一天在捷運站,看到一對正在爭吵的情侶,可能已經糾纏了不少時候 。

只見,那個男的氣急敗壞大聲嚷嚷:「妳到底真正要什麼?」
那個女的低著頭、抽泣著:「你為什麼總是不知道?」
..............

突然感覺,這個畫面怎麼那麼熟悉?
這個場景不是常常在我生活中發生嗎?


..............
母親曾說:「妳哥哥啊!有口無心,問我要什麼生日禮物 ,我說不用了,他就真不買了,他太太生日就送了顆鑽戒。」
很後悔的口氣。

..............
我在娘家附近的學校教書時,祖母曾說:
「中午,妳就回來吃飯吧!」
我真的就回去吃。

結果父親告訴我,祖母在抱怨:
「我那麼辛苦,每天還要為嫁出去的孫女忙一頓。」

因為白天只有她一人在家,原本可以將就前一晚的剩菜吃一頓的。

可是,她為什麼又要邀我回家吃飯呢?

...............
年輕時,總為丈夫忘了結婚紀念日生氣,他說:
「生什麼氣?妳不就為了要禮物?錢不都在妳那裡嗎 ?我也沒限制妳花用,自己去買就是!」

女兒讀書時要幫忙洗碗,我說:
「不用了,妳快點做功課,早做完早睡,每天拖那麼晚 ,身體都搞壞了。」


後來自己忙不過時,就嘆氣:
「生女兒有什麼用,一點家事也不幫忙。」

...............
自父親往生,長居香港的妹妹怕母親獨居寂寞,接了母親去住。
母親打電話告訴我:
「其實我想住台灣,我也想念台灣的鄰居。可是妳妹那麼孝順,我不好拂她的意。」

...............
我們總是這樣:
為了客氣,隱藏真心;
為了面子,委屈真意;
可是又希望別人關心、細心,察覺自己的真情。

一定要弄得別人左也不是、右也不行嗎?
一定要別人暴跳如雷,吼出「你到底真正要什麼」嗎?
直說嘛!

Coming back to you

I really like this Macy Gray's song, it's also in my playlist...click on it and have a good relaxing time...here's the lyrics...

I've made some changes on my favorite part...

Wonder what the future brings.
Fortune tellers and time machines.
I predict what they'll predict for me:
that men will never be satisfied and we'll be going out for more...

It's true, men will never be satisfied and we are always going out for more...It has been a great 2 days team building session with my fellow classmates at Takao, Japan...we did all the crazy stunt that we normally wouldn't do and it's great...

We also have a brief introductory sessions of all 57 of our classmates and it's incredible...I'm really very impressed with all my classmates...they are all very much internationally and cross culturally diversified...and a distinguished/excellence track record of intelligence and smartness...hopefully I will be able to contribute as much as I would be able to learn from them...

Thank you lord, for this opportunity to study in Japan...this is really great...thank you...

Original lyrics...
Ive been here before.
I'll be back for more.
Maybe this time I can stay
forever more,
forever more.
Wonder what the future brings.
Fortune tellers and time machines.
I predict what they'll predict for me:
that I keep coming back to you,
(coming back to you),
I keep (coming back to you),
I keep (coming back to you),
hey, I'm (coming back to you).
One day they'll get it right.
I will live and I will die.
A million times, as long as you are mine,
I keep coming back to you,
(coming back to you),
I keep (coming back to you),
I keep (coming back to you),
I keep (coming back to you).
Go back and go ahead, over again I'll meet you, baby.
Tomorrow, yesterday's impossible to leave you, baby.
Any way and ev'ry day,
I'll take you baby.
They call it deja vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you.
(They call it deja vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you.)
(They call it deja vu, but I'm, I'm just in love with you.)
(I'm just in love with you.)
(Forever more.)
(I'm just in love with you.)
Keep coming back to you.
(Been here before.)
Coming back to you.
(Back for more.)
Coming back to you.
(Maybe this time I can stay.)
Coming back to you.
(Coming back to you, coming back to you.)
(Coming back to you.)
Over and over again.
I've been here before.
I'll be back for more.
Maybe this time I can stay.
