搬家了！
阿堵物
树顶通道
重申一下
母亲节快乐！
Farewell
first day of proper work
钱为何物？阿堵物~
我不知道大家对钱是如何看的。基本上是公认的“钱不是万能的，没有钱是万万不能的”。古人王衍用“阿堵物”来称呼钱，是故作清高，觉得这个字俗。其实爱钱又何罪之有？只要取之有道，还是个君子嘛。今日路过一个乡村俱乐部，30万新币的加入费。实在为我辈所咋舌。看了那么多电影和书里的故事，知道有钱没有幸福是常有的事。但生活中有确实有即有钱又有幸福的例子，所以，钱还是好东西。
如果我们在这个时候就已经开始计较工钱，将来真的有赚钱的资本时，会是什么样的情形。会不会成了整天忙忙碌碌，其实只围着钱转的机器？到那个时候，我们其他的人究竟会真心同情那些因此失去了赚钱以外的生活乐趣的人，还是偷偷的怀着一颗妒忌的心，为自己不如人家的薪水而不平衡？
希望以此抛砖引玉。
今天去了麦里芝蓄水池的树顶通道（tree-top walk)。早上冒着小雨，花了一个多小时才从车站跟着沿路的指示牌走到里头（如果是一个人走，不知道会多郁闷）。然后来到的所谓的树顶通道就是一个建得钢筋铁骨的吊桥----并没有我们想象的有趣和刺激。走在上面，果然看到四周除了树顶，还是树顶！远远的能看到那个水库。一个如此发达，科技如此先进的国家，果然不屑于去和第三世界一样，用湍急的河流和深邃的峡谷上摇摇欲坠的绳子编得网或是独木桥来吸引观光者。
走出来好像是花了更多的时间，还走了“一小段”冤枉路。雨停了以后太阳就出来了，所以还是要撑伞（还不如在热带雨林里淋雨）。出来以后见到公共汽车，心情那个激动啊----深深觉得那是一项伟大的发明。之后去了一个小贩中心吃印度煎饼----闻到食物的香味才知道饿了，那时我吃印度煎饼最有勇气的一次，蘸了不少咖喱。谢谢请客的人！
走完了以后回到休息站时，遇到一群老人，其中一位精神矍铄的老婆婆说他们每星期都来麦里芝走。让我对自己的懒于运动十分惭愧。
总的来说，并不是好到非去不可的一个地方。但要是你喜欢走路，又有人陪你走，不妨一游，反正是免费的公园。
诸位读者老爷们，希望你们以中文留言。尊重主人及主人的要求是一种美德
新加坡国立大学
经过了这么多次的造访国大，觉得是个不错的地方。对其印象与日俱佳。可能和“不喜欢一个人只是因为对这个人了解不够深”是一样的道理吧。（当然，这是一位对芸芸众生慈悲为怀的朋友之名言，我的修炼尚未及此。）
硬件设施“破败”，这个定论我无权下。一来平生未涉足很多大学校园，二来坚信没有最破，只有更破之真理。
校内最贵的学生居所：乔治王子的公园（Prince George's Park) 。今天竟然跟人家搭讪，企图找到应允我们看房的住宿学生。结果人家是研究生，都是夫妻双双把宿舍住的。此公园外观看来颇有华中宿舍之风，连池塘里的鱼都长的一个德性----只是较华中宿舍更上一层楼（事实上更上了六层），并更适宜玩捉迷藏。
听科学系主任把国大与南洋理工大学作了一番详细周密并不乏偏见的比较，毅然决然接受了此蛊惑----原因如下，我没交南大的报名费，怕我接受了他们热情接收，没做几天幸福的新生就被他们他们发现以后反悔，届时我堂堂七尺将无家可归矣。
后发现历史重演了一遭：当初决定进华初之前，亦不曾踏足莱初半步。也知道买东西应当货比三家，但是比得多了，又极易头脑昏聩以至错失最好的，追悔莫及。所以呢，只给了自己一条路（呜呼，倘若国大不小心没理我，我仍是落得无家可归咯）。当然啦，各位读者老爷都是至贤之士，任何时候都脑筋顶呱呱得好用，只有我这种庸碌之辈会有此烦恼。
尽管有很多不切实际的抱负和壮志，但究竟能实现几何？！所以对于未来的四年不敢有何奢想，只盼望能，通过何种途径也好，体现到自我的价值，而已。
一朝梦兰十月桂，
廿载悄赠鬓发衰。
海天相隔劳牵念，
游子必报三春晖。
谨以此处女诗作献给我最亲爱的人：妈妈!
Got into this stupid depression right after SYF---as if it had anything to do with me( and da1 mo4 sui2 xiang3 keeps haunting me as I listened to it for 14 times on the day itself), followed by my awkward interview with moe on the next day(after which I was flooded with regret for not having sufficient prepration for it), followed by seeing off chenling this morning in the airport---I hate the airport!
It reminded me of the end of last year when I bode farewell to friends twice in 12 hours. It was a sad night, I believe, for all who went down to the airport. To think that this is really the time to say hou4 hui4 you3 qi1, it is even more saddening. Changi airport was once the place I loved to go because it meant home-coming---but now, it carries another meaning as well. At least two more times to go. Two more times to see people carrying all their belongings through the departure hall, like migration, saying goodbye to the place where they've spent 4 of their best years in, and moving on to other countries and a brand new life.
We, staying behind, should move on all the more.
Sooooooooooooo proud of HCCO!!!

Everyone was so scared that hcco may not continue the legend of the "the best JC orchestra" but thankfully we once again heard the thunderous cheer in SCH. Yay!!! Hearty congratulations to our juniors!!!
Once again I was able to walk out of the hall of SCH as a proud Hwachongian=)
Jiayou HCCO!!
Once again I was able to walk out of the hall of SCH as a proud Hwachongian=)

Jia You!!!!!

My first day of "proper" work was spent in a small restaurant. I thought I was supposed to be a waitress but ended up, somehow, "helping out in the kitchen"----cutting and washing for the whole morning. Not a toooooooooooo tiring job neither was it a slack one . I think as the number of their customers increases, I will be serving food too. The bosses were quite nice, probably because there were not many of us outsider helpers----it was somewhat a family-friends business according to my speculation. The pay is not good though. Just taking it as a chance to meet new people and to see how a restaurant works. Maybe in future I will be managing a restaurant too, who knows! haha... Not bad, had real restaurant food for lunch, though 8 people sharing two dishes only, and one small bowl of rice for everyone... My painstakingly cut pumpkin was made into soup----a huge portion of which was left over ( maybe they'll use it for dinner)
Yesterday went for the USP interview. I enjoyed the interview tremendously and was surprised to know from the ang mo interviewer that she actually had students from the city I am from! Now I really wish I had not anyhow did my application essay...should have spent much more effort on it rather than a last minute rush! Really hope to get in.
Then after the interview went for the farewell dinner for chenling. Everyone was stunned by linya's beauty, haha... Don't know when we will be seeing them the next time. Glad for them. But when they were waving goodbye to us and the MRT doors were closing, felt bit sad ( I believe I was not the only one feeling sad). Like what mum said, in our lifetime we keep making friends and losing them. Even though we keep saying "keep in contact", we may still lose each other as distance is a powerful "separator" although technology nowadays is much more advanced. That was why I was sad. Ok I shan't be pessimistic.
