242 : werk.live.pay your bills

As our director had quoted, what is work without fun and play ? We must have a work life balance. Live your life to the fullest ! Gym and exercise at least once a week ! As usual my work life is as busy as usual, 8am-8pm job then weekends tennis + play + participating in design competitions. Working hard not to get fired to pay my bills, and providing house allowance. Its all very very very life-like.

Right up, Kai's quick recap of the past 2 weeks !

We had a wonderful dinner at marythus maaandarine. Corporate DnD, scary shit, 800 people =X



Seated at a corner table with these wonderful people from werk. Intern to my right, seniors to my left.

Gaaarden Festival ! Free tickets from company, so went there during office hours to practice my photography skills. Boy, did i suck. No tripod in dark conditions = GG. Wonderful !

Though ahmi is only 2 months away, decided to cut my hair again right after gaaarden festival. 自拍万岁！ How wonderful of me !

Turns out me mother likes my new haircut, so she took a photo of it for me, how wonderful of her.

Today, there was a brief discussion with my colleagues that, how much of an uncle i was. I don't eat meat, i don't drink cold drinks, i now exercises regularly, i love kopi and health conscious i am now. Uncle ? Well, i guess i'm doing all this in the name of health, the KEY point is health, and the strange remark i got when i explained my point was "你还那么年轻". So i questioned them, "SO? What's wrong with starting young ?"

Curiously a good buddy just went to one of his old classmate's wake, and cause of death, cancer. 1 down, and he's only 20, sadly the cancer was detected late and well, 残念だな... Friends, go do a medical checkup now if you haven't, save yourself, don't wait for the government to act, we're busy deciding the future of singapore ( the land not the people, land worth more haha ).

If i am going to retire one day, no matter how long that day might take to come, i reckon i better not be retiring in a wheelchair.

orig/play key : D

D F#m
人群中悄悄离去
Bm F#m
怀着无奈几许
G Em7 A A7
喧嚣毫无眷恋的意义
D F#m
皮一身蓝蓝忧郁
Bm F#m
拖着恹恹步履
G Em7 A7
缓行到那苍森的丛影
Bm F#m G D
伫立荫晦浓绿 暗风吹过
G A7
拂动了将怠滞的细绪
G Em7 A A7
聚然间群虫飞惊 万木低絮
G A7 D
仿佛诉说恒古真谛
Bm F#m
每一个草丛里
G D
听到生命的跫音
G Em7 A7
年少段暂岂容挥霍去
Bm F#m
花开又复花落
G D
悟出生命的哲理
G A7 D
又何必对得失如此执迷

Surprised i cannot find the lyrics of this song online, and so i took like half an hr just to type and look for all those chim chim words in this song... If you're not a mandarin native speaker and you can read and UNDERSTAND the above lyrics, i will humbly go down onto my knees and worship you.

Seriously how many of us out there use and can read "晦" which is a combination of 2 very basic words.....
Its hui3 by the way....

Been singing and playing this song a lot really, its great !

240 : One of those days

Quick sketch done in ben's house. 7 heads.

239 : Fast

Each week is just ticking away. looking back, half a month gone already, with some of the interns gone, more work just keep piling up on me, in which another 1 month from now, i'll be gone too.

Been more than a week since my last post. The only "free time" i got was either going out with friends for outings, or going out shopping with family ( we must always leave some time with family ).

I've been sticking with my "Werk, Live, Plae" guide to having a balanced life. But then, there's still something missing. True, i work to earn my keep, after work go out have a good dinner with friends or go jogging/gyming, then i spend my weekends errr... playing my games ? Like with these 3 rules all my time filled up.

Work - The office life that some people will never get used to. Some err, clowns i suppose, came knocking on our department door to promote the upcoming dinner and dance with free balloons.

LIVE - Going out alone for a nice cuppa coffee, only to realise no one to take care of your laptop when you wanna go pee.

PLAY - No, i don't mahjong, its an addictive evil game associated with old aunty uncle.

What about you guys ? Been having free time lately to do things for yourself ?

238 : Among other things in life

In view of the recent sentence of the guy who wanna get revenge using ahmi property, and today's straights dimes front cover statement of the judge who issued his sentence, i felt a teeny weeny bit of fear in regards to life itself.

One stupid stupid mistake, and half, or maybe a big portion of your life screwed. And you spend the rest of your life (whether you want it or not) serving your sentence, for your stupid mistakes, in hopes of one day, coming out again and be "normal".

At such an age, where being in a boy's home is too old, and in a jail too young, he, or rather WE are nowhere in society. Considered adults, well, look like an adult, but the mind barely mature enough, we're simply caught in the middle. 10 years is not a short time to be a time to make up for mistakes.....

Our society is not forgiving. All we need is one stupid mistake to screw it all up, which brings us to my question, i wonder how his mommy felt knowing her son is going to waste so much of his life. I feel truly sad for the parent.

Why do people want to have kids ? For some (parents), its investment, and thats purely my view and observation. Being the straightforward i am today, i popped the same question to my mother. Turns out, this time round, there wasn't an answer. Some answers that came straight to my mind were, parental (grandparents) pressure, family tradition of carrying on the genes and name, they like kids or want to experience parenthood, or maybe its just an accident =X.

In this recent accident of the guy who brought his pea shooter out to orchid road, i wondered if the mom regretted giving birth to this child. Of course in the very beginning they were sure and positive about raising their kids in a family (those typical parental thinking).

But really, as a parent, you are responsible for your child in each and EVERY aspect. For those married people who simply thinks "I want to experience childbirth, i want to be a parent, i want to bring my kid out and let him/her my shoulders on a jog around eastcoast park. ..etc... " Oh please don't. Bear in mind that very child grows on one day, albeit many many one day-s.

POINT IS, question your existence. Ask WHY we're here. WHY are we part of this system called society ? Why ? I'm not hinting anyone to be suicidal ( thats REALLY BAD please) , but the direct opposite, of why we must cherish life we had been given already, and that no matter what is a fact. Haha, for curiousity sake, dear readers, why are you here ?

Its quite an old game back in the days of the PS1. But the concept and style is top notched.
I simply stitched together some of the pictures i had from way back. If you like it, just say so. =)
