Am I Stressed Or Am I Stressed?

Is the time of the year again whereby exam stress is tolling and peaking as the papers creep in nearer and nearer.... Have been telling myself that I need to ace this time around in order to pull up my ridiculously poor results from last semester but it seems that things haven't been going on smoothly...

Think I'm too tied down by other problems which I have yet to find a solution... Sign... Everything seem so dull and boring... Maybe I need to take a break from this hectic and competitive lifestyle.... Hope everything will turn out smoothly as I have planned... if not effort would be wasted down the drains....

All the best to everyone (including myslef) in your exams!

In Need Of Directions... Who Can Help? No One...

Being aeons since I had blogged cos was living in my own lone world all these while and still am now... Decided that blogging would be a good avenue for me to thrash out my thoughts and feelings that had been bottling in me...

For the past 3 months, many events, both joyous & sorrow, had taken place and my life had been like a roller coaster ride with ups and downs ever since.... Somehow, I foresee that there would be a deeper plunge in time to come....

Been seeking for a solution for a long time but still cannot find a good way to resolve the issues.... All I know is that the scar that took me years to heal had been ripped open, inch by inch, again.... Things really travel in a cycle... there's no way I could escape from this vicious wheel...

Think this is my kharma.... you reap what you sow...

T'is The Season To Be Jolly... N Nostalgic

Time really flies… Is approaching the end of the year again… Ironically, this festive season is the period that I like and dislike… contradicting right? That’s me… always neither here nor there… Like the festive season is because apart from the fact that it is the school holidays, the jolly atmosphere and the spirit of sharing and gifting seem to come alive and can be felt in the air… On the flipside, the reason why I dislike this festive season is because it always triggers back many nostalgic and memorable memories and very often, a sense of loneliness always creep in and linger around me… something that will switch me into depression mode… Those happy moments seem not too long ago but where have they gone…?

Origin Of Paper Warrior...

Paper Warrior…

This term caught WK attention (consider an honour to me cos WK’s blogs are very thought provoking and chim, and to think that my posting actually appears in his blog… Wow! This shows that Nengster can write chimology stuff too … hahaha… ya rite… me very the KNS… :p) and he had came up with a few very interesting definitions of Paper Warrior in his blog (do check it out). So decided to share with everyone where the term “Paper Warrior” originated from.

The term “Paper Warrior” which I had coined for my previous postings originated (best to my limited knowledge :p) from a comic book call “Rojak School” which is drawn by a local cartoonist, Kendoism. This comic is about the zany school life of 2 buddies, Tako & Spud, in a infamous school call Rojak School (where else can it be? Haha…). It’s is very amusing and students like us can definitely appreciate the comic humour cos it is depicting what we are facing in everyday school life. Best to my knowledge, the comic has only 2 series so it is a pity that such a great comic had ceased publication.

Ops… Think I digress too much le… haha…

Anyway, the following is the author’s definition of Paper Warrior which I had scanned from the book. To view the pic better, double click on the pic and expand it. For those who are too lazy to click on the pic, I have also typed out the preface. Got © one hor, so dun anyhow Copy & Paste ah…:p

I especially like the ending part… so to end my posting…

~May the Scores Be With You!!! Muhahaha~

“Kendoism speaks:

Schooling was never easy. The countless tests and exams are enough to drive anyone berserk. Students are like mini-warriors, fighting and endless stream of battles. However, instead of guns and swords, we arm ourselves with pens, rulers, protractors, liquid papers and a host of stationery to wage wars against the exam papers. Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.

We cannot deny that pressures for good grades are mounting. But think, amidst the frenzied hustle and bustle for that piece of paper, are we over-looking the little bits of humour in school???

As we journey through the passageways of time, there will come a time for us to leave school. Whenever that may be, I hope your memories of school-life will always remain, sweet and beautiful.

And to all the “paper-warriors” of Singapore,
May the scores be with you !!!”

靡靡人生

非常喜欢几米的作品，因为能够感同身受那几行的文字与插图所要表达的内容。跟大家分享其中一篇我个人非常喜欢的小品，此小品取摘于《照相本子》，希望这篇小品也能够对你产生一些共鸣。

唱到后来，大家都累了，
只有你依然生猛地嘶吼著。
当那一首情歌出现时，我们都懂得安静，
听你边哭边唱到最后。
然后递给你面纸和一杯红酒，然后来宾掌声鼓励。
然后若无其事地继续唱著销魂的靡靡之音。

明天起，
我们都要勇敢地面对美丽人生，
不是吗？

My Date With SAMMI!!!

I was totally thrilled and ecstatic when I received a sms yesterday notifying me that I had won a pair of premier tickets to Sammi Cheng’s latest movie, Song of Ever Lasting Regret （长恨歌）! WOW!!!! It sounded too good to be true as I only sent 2 sms. Really feel excited at the thoughts that I could actually see Sammi again after her concert last year!

Was a bit pissed off when I reached Lido to collect the tickets cos was told to there at 830pm sharp but it was already 845pm and the person in charge was still not here yet! Finally managed to find the person in charge hiding in a corner distributing the tickets, wa lao leh… how to see you like that… quickly collected the tickets and rushed to grab a good spot to take pictures of Sammi.

By 920pm, SAMMI APPEARED!!!!!!!! SAMMIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still very pretty and glamourous! She autographed the huge poster and then went in to the theatre. Everyone literally charged into the theatre just to catch glimpses of Sammi. When I went in, Sammi was out of sight already but she reappeared shortly later to talk about her movie with the director Guan You Peng. Quickly dashed to the front to take pictures of her before she left (too bad she didn’t stay for the movie… but can understand cos she had watched it so many times le…).

The screening started around 945pm and it is the first time Sammi is acting in a more serious and artistic （文艺片） genre type of movie. The settings were in Shanghai during the 1940s. The main plot is about the love realtionships between Sammi （王琦瑶）and her 4 lovers during her different stages in life. Not to spoil the story plot, all I can say is that the ending is a bit tragic and it is only recommended if you can appreciate artistic films like 阮玲玉，胭脂扣，甜蜜蜜，etc. This is Sammi’s first attempt in acting in such a movie so I would say it is pretty good =)

能氏物语

我已经是一个无所谓的人了 - 王琦瑶 （郑秀文饰）

能歌点唱

郑秀文 - 美丽的误会

那时候 听《爱如潮水》
想象着万一我们不是一对
以后谁会在深夜里孤独的买醉
这一晚 我一个人睡
防备着那于是无补的伤悲
还有很多工作 只能面对 不能憔悴

我为我的坚强而骄傲
却为这段情 感到惭愧
我只能够承认失去了你 都无所谓

我听的歌 爱的人 说的话
是不是美丽的误会
我不能为你 不顾一切的崩溃
除非这样子能保证把你挽回

我牵的手 伤的心 流的泪
是不是浪漫的误会
是爱的太伤 还是伤的太美
难道你还不会让我的心醉
(在爱情的面前我宁愿卑微)

这一晚 听《爱如潮水》
数算着为感情而吃过的亏
彷佛的麻木是不是我学到的智能
有时候 我们都很累
还以为分手之后就有机会
让我们说后悔 为了失恋 为所欲为
