Old cow eat fresh grass ?

Posted in personal thoughts, Singapore, Lifestyle by ceneple

This is yummy… no ?

I believe this has been a super breaking news for all.

So what’s the hidden agenda ?

My guess :

  1. Publicity for upcoming film screening ?
  2. Singapore lack hot gossips so might as well so can boost film ratings (see number 1) ?
  3. Since must break this news sooner or later, so so might as well so it at this time so can boost film ratings (see number 1) ?
  4. Singapore has been on depressing news - Property prices hike, Budget, money no enough (haha, double pun intended), so need some”entertaining” news (see number 1, 2 and 3) ?
  5. Fame and money ?

I sympathised his wife and children.

Is this a new trend or what ? TIGER (Woods) year ?

Alright, give our man a Tiger and then he will say “I am deeply sorry”.

When is the last time Singapore has such BIG news ?

Then again, Singaporeans quite forgetful la. Sure forgive after some time ya ?

Who knows ? His popularity might rise further after this saga !

NOTE: Old cow eat fresh grass  is a literal translation from a Mandarin saying which implies an old man is having a relationship/affair with someone who is very much younger (say around 30 years/+-) than him.

Be still

Posted in Miscel, personal thoughts, Lifestyle, Music by ceneple
Contrast this with a busy brain filled with habitual thoughts.  Scientists tell us most people think about 95% of the same thoughts day after day, week after week, year after year.  This leaves only 5% of consciousness available for creative thought.  The other 95% of the thoughts, being of past memories and by their nature out of time, are therefore inappropriate for the present moment.  This leads to wars and conflict on a national level and anger, frustration, fears, doubts, worry and feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness on a micro-individual level. ~ School of Metaphysics

Is this really true ?

Sometimes, I wish I could be as focused as my boss.

But being focused and having a still mind are 2 different things ?

I only know the meaning of this, or rather, superficial understanding (?)

And a song similar to the heart:

My heart is not lonely or broken
It’s not of ice or of gold
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown cold
I felt not the faintest flatter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed
Nor will I willingly clutter
My life with these thing that don’t last

[chorus]
Be still my heart
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

If our eyes should meet then so be it
No need to trouble the heart
That is hidden where no one can free it
Only to tear it apart

[chorus]
Be still my heart (my heart be still)
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

Beware, beware
(be still my heart)
to care, to care
(be still my heart)
beware, beware
(be still my heart )
to care, to care
(my heart be still)
beware, beware
(be still my heart)
My heart

oooh aaaa

Be still my heart
My heart be still
Be still my heart (my heart)
My heart be still
Be still my heart
My heart be still

My heart
Be still

mmmm

My heart
Be still

~ Be still my Heart, Silje Nergaard

So maybe some reconciliation needed between my intellectual and emotional quotient ?

Or intellectual - emotional - physical - spiritual - quotient ?

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao Tzu

Tell me how.

Just screwed up - Part II

Hokkien saying, “Kiang zu hor. Mai gei kiang.”

(Translated loosely/literally: Don’t be overly smart. Being smart is good enough.”)

What has got into me ?
Damn it.

Brainwash?

Posted in Education, personal thoughts by ceneple

“If only you have used your brains more - as you have yet to fully realised its potential….”

She said this to me after I sat for the gifted programme selection test in round 1.

I knew it after she started saying “If only..” Then in the first place, why ask me to go for the test ?

Is that a ridicule, regret or encouragement ?

Out of 25 students who are selected from the whole primary 3 corhort, only 2 qualified - (if i remembered correctly).

It was a devastating truth to me that I am not that smart and I took that as an insult.

But probably not now ?

It’s time to let go ……….

Weird Smses

Posted in Lifestyle by ceneple

I was doing some “spring cleaning” on my mobile messages and then I saw these:

2 Jan 2010

Before the sun sets in this year, before the memories fade, before the networks get jammed,

Wish you a HAPPY SPARKLING NEW YEAR 2010.

How are you  ___


26 Dec 09

Without humor, life sucks.

Without love, life seems hopeless.

But without a friend like you, life is impossible.

How are you  ___

___ = my name
Strange thing is :

  1. message from 2 different mobile numbers
  2. style seems similar - typical greeting messages
  3. mobile number looks foreign to me, yet this person knows my name !

weird.
