My first attempt at cooking: Fried Rice


After watching “大小爱吃”, I am somehow convinced/tricked into believing that cooking isn’t really a difficult task. So I decide to cook my own lunch today but the only ingredients I can found in my fringe are some cabbage, lean meat and leftover rice. And that decides my dish to be …Fried Rice.

It’s really my first try in cooking and I didn’t really think of posting an entry about it. So I didn’t take the pics of the prepared ingredients which I washed and sliced and fried. However, after tasting it, I decided to write about my successful attempt and took a pic of the done dish. I’m so proud of myself, so much so that more attempts will be coming up (I hope). Hahaha…



The end result: (Believe it or not?) A delicious lunch and a satisfied customer

Heroes Parody...


It's supposed to be a good show and then you have this...



And of course if someone were to do it, no one does it better than Madtv. It's a lazy saturday afternoon but it's good to, at least, exercise our cheek muscles.

Talking about days of our lives…



With all the army things going on right now (who says anything about LHY? Who? Who?) and the 9pm drama which is showing on channel 8 now, remind me of my army days. So this morning, I went to flip the pages of my journal I wrote in camp and came across the entry I now still find it quite funny when I rethink of it. Here it goes…

060105 (Thurs)

-Don’t be lazy!!! Must always wake up for breakfast…It’s the right thing to do, if not (before), CSM gives EXTRAS…
-B4 SOC, or other exercise, do equipment check! It’s not the men’s fault to forget stuff, it’s commanders’ fault not doing their duties to ensure.
-Commanders Vs High creditable Men
-Don’t wait 4 things to happen. Initiative…
-Don’t always treat men like friends. Know what’s the right time.
-Sispec’s Specialist Creed. Work according to that.
“I am the Specialist of Singapore Army,
With pride I lead,
I excel in my specialist field,
I ensure the discipline of my soldier and readiness of their equipment,
I will overcome adversity with my fighting spirit,
I will defend Singapore with my life.”
-Commanders do your jobs. Punish the men if necessary. Don’t wait for PS or PC to punish. If not, then you are not doing your job.

End

Thinking back, I guessed we are all trying to learn to do the right things. Failure is not a bad thing if it made us a better person. The funny thing is, most of the words in that entry came from an officer whom I slowly lost respect to as time went by. Still I wish him all the best and ORD is still the best thing which has happened to me so far.

Instant Noodles...


Me: Er…do u know the correct way of cooking instant noodles?

Grandma: What’s wrong?

Me: Just that it’s healthier to change the boiling water after the noodles is cooked.

Grandma: Why?

Me: To remove the wax.

Grandma: Ghosts also eat candles, it’s time to get used to wax.

What makes you so sure that you will wake up from your sleep?


So my friends and I was chatting the other day.

Lazy bum (LB): “Woh, weijie, you still on holiday right? So good, can stay up late and sleep like nobody’s business. How I wish I can sleep away my Monday blues and never need to wake up for work.”

Me: “What makes you so sure you will wake up from your sleep?”

LB (pause for awhile): “Come on lah, my 10 alarm clocks are not toys I put in my room for fun. And setting them every night before I sleep is not a hobby I enjoy. They, of course, have to wake me up.”

Opps...I guessed she was pissed maybe because she was looking for some comfort and not another question from me.

Another lazy bum (ALB): “Besides, we still have our secret weapon, which is, our mom. She will never let us have the chance of skipping our ‘delicious’ breakfast prepared by her.”

Me: “But that’s all provided that you are able to wake up right? What if you really sleep and never wake up? How your brain tells your eyes to open and body to start engine again?”

Marcus AKA The 4D guy: “For me, it’s the calling. For example, I had this dream last night. It’s about 4 chickens laying 5 eggs. 4-7-5-0… Woh, I have to go buy this number. Thanks for remaining me buddy.” And off he went.

Me: “…”

LB: “LoL, I got to go too. Lunch hour is over. Talk to you later. Bye.”

ALB: “ Haha… me too. And don’t think so much, weijie. See you.”

Haven’t really gotten my answer, I proceed to ask a few others…

A maid: “I never sleep. I just close my eyes for 2 hours. Mom and Sir want me to go market buy breakfast. If not, they send me home, back to Indonesia.”

A+ Scholar: “You see, it’s the habit we have since we were born. Of course, babies need more sleeps to let their brains develop and rest, but still, it’s their inner ability to cry and wake up for food and respond to the outer environment. That’s why, for those unconscious patients in hospitals, the longer they sleep, the less likely chance they will wake up….”

A lawyer: “Time is money. Sleep is no money. I love money. I live for money. Talk some more, I need you to give me money.”

An old man in the park (smile): “Are you talking to me? Haha…you good boy…”

A primary school student: “Cannot be late for school. Teacher will scold scold. I must do homework and be a good student then my mommy will buy for me presents.”

A bimbo: “I sleep so I can have no eye bag and stay pretty. Why wake up? Haha…I haven’t think about that.”

Last but not least,

A little girl named ally: “whatever!?!”

If there’s reincarnation, are you still scared of death?


It’s like God gave you a new ticket
To return to earth, to live again.
Time and situations may change,
But memories stay the same.

It brings a new way to how people connect.
Your family was mine beforehand.
I may be only four,
But I can show you that I lived before.

I still remember your grandpa’s name.
In my past, we were friends.
He died a year before Johnny was born.
At least that’s the name I now called.

For every death, there’s always a reborn.
As unbelievable as it may sound, it’s not.
God can do what Science cannot.
Belief is what we have got.

If there’s reincarnation,
Are you still scared of death?

Heroes : Rogue Wave- Eyes




The show and song I am hooked to right now.
Here's my version,

In my mind


Called you on your phone.
A guy picked up and told me you were not at home.

Well I didn’t know if it’s true,
There’s nothing I could do,
I putted down the phone,
But one thing I’m sure is you’re in my mind,
In my mind, in my mind…

Where’ve you gone this time?
It’s been 3 months and look at what you have done.

Winter is here,
It’s coming a new year.
You disappeared,
But one thing I’m sure is you’re in my mind,
In my mind, in my mind…

You are not me


My life has its perks and lousy times.
Still, it’s up to no one but me to define.
So quit saying I’m the champion when I rock,
Quit saying I’m fine when I’m not.

Don’t apologize cos I won’t die without.
I will find my own way, I don’t need your help.
Don’t cry, I hate it when you get loud.
Plus the fact that my mom can fake it better
Without making any sound.

Don’t try to find me, don’t even try to call.
Haven’t you noticed, you are not wanted anymore.
Go be someone else’s thorn,
Go find someone else to play along.

Everyone wishes…


Everyone wishes to have super powers,
The ability to be invisible,
To fly, to predict the future,
To prevent from getting hurt.

Everyone wishes to be super heroes,
To be the one in control,
To be in the know,
To be able to tell your love ones to stay out of danger and where to go.

Everyone wishes to be super natural,
To have a mission to save the world,
To at least come out with something to make life easier,
To be that someone special.

Everyone wishes for God to be a little biased,
To make each of us a little stronger.
The rules stay the same,
We are always the winners.

Are You Your Birthday?


Honestly speaking, at the age of 22, I'm still constantly trying to find out about myself, what sort of person I really am. Nevertheless, I'm one who never believe in doing the online quizs to see which type of kisser I am or what my underwears say about me. The truth is, I find the questions too idealistic and of course, I know, they are usually done by those who really have nothing better to do and therefore, shouldn't be looked upon too seriously. Then I came across this website the other day and found it to be quite accurate. The good thing is you don't have to answer any question but the bad thing is it's in chinese. Here it goes:


4月22日 計劃工程師

4月22日出生的人對于 具組織和建設本質的活動相當積極，其範圍不只是抽象的思想體系，還包括實際物質方面的建設。他們很擅長組織並經營家庭、餐廳、學校或任何社會團體，能使它 們正常地運作。矛盾的是，這些人並不特別愛交際，反而比較喜歡獨來獨往。他們大多是安安靜靜的，不太喜歡吸引別人的注意力。這天出生的人很懂得以輕松的方 式來完成艱苦任務的秘訣，而這種組織各種盛大集會的超強本領，遲早都會顯露出來的，就算沒能在職場上嶄露頭角，而只是運用在家庭聚會、開生日或結婚周年派 對這類的小場面中，只要是值得付出的，都能讓他們感到滿足和刺激。話說回來，4月22日出生的人如果不將才能發揮在商場上，那還真是浪費。有時候他們的組 織技巧很強，但有時會因為與上司的意見不合而感到心灰意冷，例如，他們可能會被指派去成立並經營一家別人名下的公司，卻在做得有聲有色之後，才發現老板太 過吹毛求疵或固執己見。諸如此類令人氣餒、沮喪的情形，常使他們寧可掛冠求去。從另一方面來說，4月22日出生的人和工作伙伴之間卻很少出問題。而在他們 摩下工作的人，也會很敬重這位上司的能力、實事求是的精神，以及豐富的人情味。不論體格壯碩與否，他們那威嚴的儀態常常是通往成功的重要因素。 4月22日出生的人最大的挑戰，在于控制自己的權力欲望。這些人當中發展得較好的，會表現得非常謙虛，既不逞能，也不驕傲；但發展得不夠好的人，則可能太 過專權，對人的態度也不夠寬容，而且常常令人難以更。這一天出生的人必須切記，應該公平、公正的運用他們發號施令的能力。雖然人世間可能會被財富和權貴人 士所眩惑，但不該全接受那些人的價值標準；而應該在研究、學習的技巧後，拒絕采用其中具破壞性的、不和諧的社會價值標準。 4月22日出生的人一旦建立了家庭、公司或組織後，每隔一段時間便會檢討它的發展是否達到自己所預期的理想。由于具有這樣的意識，他們可能會面臨一項大挑 戰，即是否要依照原訂的路線，繼續執行計劃；或是在某些重要的方面作修正；還是干脆放棄，改朝更有價值、更具意義的方向而努力。對這樣的人來說，他們通常 不知道何時該辭職，以及怎麼辭職，而且還可能因此引起精神上的痛苦和焦慮呢！此時他們必須要傾听自己內心的聲音。除此之外，為了避免被物質所奴投，這天出 生的人在精神層面上發展就顯得特別重要。

幸运数字和守护星 4月22日出生的人會受到數字4（2+2=4）以及天王星的影響。天王星代表的是古怪而且脾氣暴躁，因為這顆行星受到火星（牡羊座的主宰行星）和金星（金 牛座的主宰行星）的影響。4月22日出生的人在運用權力時，必須留意避免利用性或魅力，去達到控制別人的目的。受數字4支配的人，對人對事都有獨特的方法 和見解。由于他們常采取少數人的觀點，加上充滿自信，所以有時不免會招來敵意，樹立無數躲在暗處的敵人。此外22是雙數，因此4月22日出生的人經常會對 成雙成對的事物感興趣，例如雙胞胎、巧合的事情和對稱性等等。

健康 雖然在4月22日出生的人擁有一副說說、唱唱的好嗓子，但是他們卻可能會有頸部和喉嚨方面的健康問題。究竟是要一展這個好嗓音的天賦呢？還是要承受因其所 帶來的問題呢？這就得好好權衡一下了。對4月22日出生的人來說，性是非常重要的。他們可能對性十分著迷，也可能把它升華成各種不同的感官享樂形式，例 如，給人按摩或被人按摩，都能使這天出生的人產生一種特殊的快感。另外，當他們待在廚房時，都會感到非常快樂，因此應該盡可能讓自己悠游于品嘗和實驗美食 佳肴的天地中。適度的運動有助于對抗體重的增加，但是要避免運動過度。

建议

塔罗牌 大秘儀塔羅牌的第22張是“愚者”。圖案是一個人快活地站在懸崖邊。有的解釋是他十分愚蠢，缺乏理性判斷的能力；有的則指出他們極端崇尚精神層面，不在乎 現實。總的來說就是憑直覺行事、沒有描繪和抵抗的能力；同時，也代表了愚蠢、沖動和虛無。不過他們之中較成熟的，則會從生命的歷練中學取經驗，然後成為自 己理想中的人。

静思语 在黑暗中看事物，看不清楚，那麼就用心來感受吧。

优点 組織力強、實事求是、相貌威嚴。

缺点 不易相處、崇尚物質。

Last night's daydreaming...


Playing ball, wasting time,
Trying to get you out my mind.
But in my room I still find,
The scent of your perfume you left behind.

My mom once told me this,
“Good-flower-no-scare-bees-don’t-visit”.
But I never understand why they always leave
After they got their honey.

There has been time like this,
You said it’s because of the timing,
It’s not that you don’t love me,
It’s just a little more space that you need.

And so I wait for you to come around,
To finally realize I am forever your honey,
That there’s no where you can find another flower like me,
That you are just wasting your time and wasting me.

But now, I’m just playing ball,
Smelling the perfume you left behind.
If you were not meant for me,
Then I don’t know anything.

My first love letter 16th april 1979


I have been hiding my feelings inside.
To think that you are the one for me
Ever since I caught you in my eyes,
It’s not exactly what I anticipated in mind.

Lately my presence is getting on the nerves of everybody
Even my best friend doesn’t seem to get me.
I don’t know what is happening,
Only that your smile and your perfect hair aren’t really helping.

My world, I just want it to be just you and me.
My time, I just want it to freeze when you were with me.
My plan, I just want it to involve around you and me.
My dream, I just want it to be you and me.

Are you feeling what I am feeling?
Are you on the same page as me?
Am I the only one dreaming?
Am I supposed to be the one waiting?

Maybe an answer from you will end my misery.
But then will I still get to see u every morning?
