Time flies..
and weeks and weeks and weeks have past quietly
its time for the final examinations

the past few weeks..
which I have lost count of
taking endless photographs, writing essays,
squeezing my brain juice dry to create designs
thinking of ideas and preparing for speeches and presentations
and group meetings to settle projects..
all the assignments have concluded
and somewhere in NP
the marks are being tabulated and moderated, i hope..

now is the time
for two modules
to do a round up
as we are examined on what we have learnt the skills that we have picked up
each accounting for a BIG 40 per cent of the final score of each module..

and i must say
i don't feel prepared..
i feel that I don't know what to study
and I feel that I have not studied enough

but i must still face it
and walk into the exam hall tomorrow
and finish the stipulated questions based on what i've learnt so far
and on my memory
and perhaps, a little based on my general knowledge..

then it will be holidays
a fun, packed, and hopefully
very fulfilling one.. :)

all the best Isaac!
its your turn to shine!

when we feel the relationship
and love has reached a plateau
maybe its time to talk it out
and me and W did.

we are still very good friends, buddy, brother..

a special relationship that we will treasure

i don't eliminate the fact that I will go back to him
in the future..



but for now..
i still feel very much loved by him
status and relationship might be at a different level
but we still care and concern for each other very much

and as for the other M..
we share many things in common..
and the passion n love within.. :)

:: gaining ground ::

I like it when i feel relaxed, at ease.
I don't like it when i feel lost.

I like it when I sit on a dragonboat and rowing away..
I don't like it when I feel stressed doing, well, nothing in exact.

I like it when I am amidst the process of completing a project.
I don't like it when I am stuck with nothing and think of what to do.. waiting..

I like it when I am feeling grounded, doing things as supposed.
I don't like it when i feel guilty of not doing things i'm suppose to do.

I enjoy every moment of life, probably too relaxed
I don't like it when I feel not serious
and when I feel i'm going nowhere.

I believe I am going somewhere.. now..
in the midst..
enjoying myself..

I want to do so many things..
but there's a limit to what I can achieve.
So maybe I shall not be an overachiever..
and be the one who I really am
don't care about who says what
and what others can do but i can't..

this might be a long and tedious process
a long and tedious challenge within myself and with this world..

where do i have the time to relax?

I need to allocate time better
to be myself.
sleep less
and enjoy each moment I have each day with myself and the world around me..

keep more time to maximising my life!
stop wasting time in sleeping n slacking and doing rubbish..
live and love and be free!

It's terrible being sick.
Sorethroat, fever, coughs, flu, headache..
It's unbearable and you just can't concentrate.
Even on the bus, I felt a weird sensation..
Sleepy, drowsy, and a cramped up head.
Argh..
My fever even reached 39.0 degree at one point,
Constantly cold n stuffy..
Can't breathe properly.

Finally my fever has subsided a little
And I'm beginning to sweat out the toxins within my body..
I've really nv gotten such high fever in a looooong time lo!

Now feeling really hungry coz the whole day I only managed to drink water
And steal some bites of little Jerry muffin
When my fever was not up..
And a sandwich at NP four leaves..
(the cold one, not the toasted one)
Was so tired n sleepy did not bother to go buy dinner lo.,

Just stole a 鸡蛋糕my mum bought.. Haha..
And it got my throat all choked up again with the irritating feeling.. Haiz..

Shall go sleep le..
Alot of assignments to do..
Mayb this happened for me to catch up with my projects..
But I still have assignments due later thus week
And it's group projects!! How???

Hope to recover soooon..

Sleep le hopefully tmr will feel better..

Btw, my uncle was rather joking when he diagnosed me to have H1N1..
Still dunno if it's true.. Hmm..

很期待明天的“小测验”,因为是个难得的机会,和全班同学一同切磋学习,不只老师所教的呈现技巧,也能学到其他同学们身藏的“绝技”,看看他们着两个星期以来在私底下酝酿出的成果,葫芦里买的到底是什么药?

真的,明天算是我们班难得更深一层认识彼此的好机会,必经着13个星期以来,大家都忙着学业,很少有机会跟彼此沟通,虽然天天见面,但似乎并不是真正了解彼此的兴趣或是拿手绝活儿!明天就是大显身手的良辰吉日了!

距离上一次“人物专访”,或许当时大家都过于心急,似乎并没挖掘出任何“惊人”的消息,这次,孩真的相当期盼看到一些同学会想分享一些什么,教导一些什么,相信能学习道德远缘超越“呈现课程”所教的招数与技巧,可能会引起一番新的学习热诚呢!

很期待明天,我自己虽然大有准备,将摆出绝活与大家分享,但“呈现”技巧上仍得用更多的心,多加留意!又兴奋、又紧张,既期待、却又有所担忧自己准备不足。。。 嗨——

大家加油了!一起玩,一起学,一起努力,一同突破!!

:: diandao 之 我要的幸福 ::

经过了一轮的测验与作业呈交,发现到自己的短处,也知道自己的程度。所谓一山还比一山高,一个人不会是样样精通,什么科目都优异。但往往,一个人总 会为自己设下目标,而当目标没达到时,就会感到失望,但重要的是,要去学习到底“错”在哪里,赶快整理心情情绪,再爬起来,下次再接再厉,“考”得更好。

单凭这8个星期以来,我就发现到了自己的长处与不足之处。我撇开了陪伴我N年的“课本s”,不在单靠书本知识做事,的确感觉到更轻松,但是现在用的是更多的脑力,创意,把思维放得更远。

就说沟通与呈现课来说,我只能说,我对自己首两个测验的成绩感到非常的失望。可能是因为为自己设下了太高的期望,或对自己太过自信,以为自己能表现的很好,临场却却步,因为太过自信,反而失策,在“表演”的“舞台”上“摔跤”,没做出之前预备的,事候一直耿耿于怀。

现在回想起来,只能说,下来的两个测验,要更加努力。CMC的课程都不能运用“临时抱佛脚”的态度,要平时努力,不断try,纠正,才能交出一个满意的功课。无论事个课堂呈现,或是一篇散文、几张照片、design等。

一起加油。毕竟,真正努力后,得到的成绩,尽管没达要求,自己也会慧心一笑。

幸福,不是科科都考到最佳,而是努力后,交出的是自己满意而感到骄傲的作品

happy happy
I want to learn
and am constantly learning
how to be a good boy
to be a nice person
to be a good friend
to be a speaker
to be someone people can speak to
to be a friend people want to be with
to be a lover
to be a good lover
to be the person someone would love totally
and want to be with me forever

But more often than not
I fail at my own doorstep
I probably am overconfident
I probably am too proud of myself
celebrating at the tip of each achievement
that I forget that the world around me is still spinning
without me (because I am stagnant)

I need to evolve
I need ro resolve
I need to be involved
in life in the world

because I do not want to carry on being the proud arrogant asshole that people hate
to be the person that never keeps his promises and ends up giving wonderful fake excuses
I do not want to be anymore the person who cannot be trusted
that the whole world believes in so much but fails to present
I want to be a man of my words
To have achievements
and be able to accomplish any given task to my best ability
I need to take responsibility
and be braver, more courageous
I cannot be lazy anymore

I need to change myslf
I need to learn to stand up and take on my own life
I need to learns sports and let the hideous lazy bum be a part of history
I need to conquer my fears and be ready to go
I need to step out of my comfort zone
I need to be a new man
a man everyone will love to be with.

I am learning
will you, be a friend, and guide me?

是谁从我天空摘走了星星
一转眼 眉头聚满乌云
从来快乐悲伤都自己横行
忘了我也值得被关心

一双手一个梦
一路上不断的俯冲
痛到忘了要怎么喊痛

漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想要拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫

漫长的等候让人特别失落
锋锐寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹

是谁将阳光都剪成了雨滴
天灰了,快乐总有限期
从来都陷在孤独的流沙里
忘了我也配被人在意
一个人一直走看着梦像做了又空
精疲力尽有没有哪里可以停泊

漫长的寂寞淹没我的难过
我的世界是零下的沙漠
其实我也想有拥抱的温柔
融化这颗坚强的泡沫

漫长的等候让人特别失落
锋锐寂寞把天空都割破
还有谁能够紧握着我的手
陪着我期待消失的彩虹
那是谁的温柔留在我的小手
微不足道却那么重

漫长的寂寞把意志都吞没
整个世界是沉默的漩涡
有谁能陪我手牵着手出走
带我离开空洞的星球

还有什么值得追求
还有什么可以拥有
把怀抱借给我是不是就不再颤抖
有谁能带走这美丽的哀愁
能让我相信被爱的理由

Its been a long time since we had a nice theme song
from a foreign artist for a local drama serial
The above song is the theme song for
the MediaCorp midyear hit show
The Ultimatum 双子星
sang by chinese newcomer 刘力扬

I did not guess it was her immediately
but i'm impressed by her vocals
(which sounds better singing rock)
and together with the lyrics
it felt subtle yet poignant..

got feel..

my post on my course learning blog.. my views and stand on the Aung San Suu Kyi trial in Myanmar...

(once again, not for the "chinese" faint-hearted..)

 

这几个星期以来,最令我关切的新闻,就是关于缅甸扣压审判前领袖翁山淑枝的这件事。对很多人来说,或许翁山淑枝这个名字,是既熟悉又陌生的,因为,我们在过去的十多年,断断续续都听到这个名字,总是知道这位女士是的不屈不挠的政治领袖,但对她实际的情况,却大多一知半解。

在今天读到的一份保障报道,是我这几天来,最盼望读到的,但却同时令我感到非常失望。这报道就说明了缅甸政府对外界,尤其是美国和亚西安群国,对于缅甸所施加的压力,给予的回应。缅甸是由军士政府所管制的。而翁山淑枝,就是在他们眼里最大的威胁。这十几年来,军事政府得权之后,都在避免这让翁山淑枝带党出选选举,处处为难这位杰出的政治领袖,无论她是多顽强的支撑着,都似乎无效。这是民主吗?

大约的解释目前的情况与事情的发展。翁山淑枝是于进5年前被扣压,以“政治”因素,违反条规,被判家中服刑。这段4年的家中服刑之前,翁山淑枝已在缅甸的Insein Prison牢房里“蹲”了一段时期了。这次的家中徒刑,原本已经将近到期,会在过去的26日被释放出来。就刚巧,在本月初的时候,有一位美国的记者“偷渡”过江到文山淑枝的湖边家中,并以“累”为理由,要求住在她家中。翁山淑枝原本不肯,毕竟是有可能触徒刑条规,拒绝了该男子,过后又已人道理由,“收留”了他两晚。 怎知此事被军方知晓,告她触犯条规,这次刑法,若罪名成立的话,是在度入狱长达5年。刚巧缅甸将在明年前举行民主大选,这一切,是巧合吗?

过去的几天,连连发生了一些事。被扣压的翁山淑枝已开始出庭作证。在出庭的第一天,她已说明了自己的立场,表示是以人道的理由收留了该男子,并纯属给予他住宿。翁山淑枝更是坚持自己并没触犯任何的条规。在那之前,翁山淑枝首次被批准于一些国家的外交部官员与记者会面,但详细内容却是客观话语,似乎没有像是她会说的真正的话语,带有照稿说话的嫌疑。被扣压的这段日子,除了中国是保持中式立场之外,美国已经发言指责这次的事件。而缅甸的直接邻居,亚西安国家,都有意施加压力,提出了反对的异议。原本,亚西安组织个国是保持观望的态度,也曾经表示决不参与成员国的内部政治。但这次,其余的成员国都已表示立场,不鼓励继续扣压审判翁山淑枝。

昨天,缅甸的军方政府终于回话了。他们表示,这次扣压,绝对是内政法律的因素下扣压翁山淑枝,绝无政治或人权因素的干扰,更是提出立场说,决不向外界所施加的压力妥协,劝请其他国家避免插手,包括联合国世政府。

这样短短的新闻发布,令我非常难受。翁山淑枝到底犯了什么错?她的杰出才能,是众所周知的。怎么说,她也曾得过诺贝尔和平奖的加冕。若这一切不是因政权的因素,真的让人无法了解。

另一方面,文山淑枝在过去的十五年期间,当中有多达十三年是在监狱里,否则就是在家中服刑,这样过的。她坚持相信有着自由的一天,换回的则是世人的关心,自己的痛心。理想的和平与真理,何在?? 这样已外界视为非犯法的条列扣压他人,还连续已外界视为不成立的法则判罪他人,这不是触犯人权,是什么?

刚巧,在几个星期前也提到了一部本地话剧,由李邪所主演的“狂女日记”,还在当时说了此角色与翁山淑枝的相似度。当时说了,就算他被放出来,人家还是会已有色眼镜看她,觉得他是疯子。照情况看来,翁山淑枝这次判刑已相当确定是得服了。这样坐牢,也难免会成为政治疯子。

接下来,也只能密切关心局势的发展,为人权和政治权利保持己见。我相信,总有一天,缅甸军方政府会倒塌,由一个真正能带国家走入繁荣的政府取代。多久?我不敢想。希望,只能希望天理存在,放了翁山淑枝吧。

:: 开始懂了 ::

happy happy
warning.. loads of chinese below.. not for those who has an immaculate phobia of the language.. interesting perspective though. it could have been a short story, like, severeal more pages.. but its an assignment that I did in the wee hours of the night for Writing for Chinese Media.. its been so long since i wrote a creative of this length, probably the first time actually.. HMM.. i wonder.. but it made me look back at certain things in life, although the characters have been changed to protect the innocent, but the story, to a big extent, is rather real.. enjoy... (and find out about me...)

“我竟然没有调头    最残忍那一刻    静静看你走   一点都不像我
原来人会变得温柔    是透澈的懂了    爱情是流动的    不由人的    何必激动着要理由
相信你只是怕伤害我    不是骗我    很爱过谁会舍得
把我的梦摇醒了    宣布幸福不会来了
用心酸微笑去原谅了  也翻越了   有昨天还是好的
但明天是自己的   开始懂了    快乐是选择” (孙燕姿,2000年)

  海茫茫中,我独自一人走在繁忙的街道上。心情时而焦虑,时而痛心。有人说,人因梦想而伟大,我却失去了人生的目标,顿时梦想毁了,天色似乎变得阴暗,叫人措手不及。没书读了,没人爱了,未来模糊了,人生已到末路了?

 我承认我不是个优秀生,学业成绩往往只排在中间,也不算太糟。但因成绩不够理想,无法考入心中理想的课程,总是相信将就一点,只要努力,以后还是有机会转换课程的。升上大学后,相当的踊跃参与课外活动的我,不知不觉地忽略了学业。刚开始,总是以为自己终究会努力,靠着运气就能过关。抱着这样的心理,还侥幸的逃过了几节。

在大学住在宿舍的我,也相当活跃于宿舍的活动。就在其中的一次露营,认识了他。起初只是组员的关系,友谊慢慢建立起,不知不觉地,就喜欢上了人家。所谓在家父母,出外靠朋友,在宿舍的生活有时会孤单寂寞,但有他在时,总是会让我不经意的笑。刚巧,他和我是同样科系,他也住隔我几个房间,所以天天都会碰面,随着友谊的深厚,渐渐的,我们便成了拍档、哥儿们,形影不离,吃饭、洗澡、洗衣、上课、温书,都一同出入。

有了好兄弟在身边,玩也玩得更起劲了。我们一同参与龙舟队,也加入宿舍迎新营委员会。天天和他相处,天天都充满着欢笑。我们互相鼓励,一齐努力,一同拼搏。这样的深厚友情真的很难的。

直到有一天,他叫我到他房间。到了他房里,他把门关上,突然向站着我扑了过来,把我深深的抱入怀里。顿时间,我脑里一片空白,心跳加速。“我喜欢你”,他说。我愣住了。“我也是。”我们望着彼此,微笑了。

这样就开始了一段暧昧的感情。感觉不同,是因为两人都“不知所措”,那感觉是过于深厚的友情,还是真正的爱情?我们都怀疑,但也不敢去肯定。两个二十一岁的男生,都没办法去建立自己的立场,确定自己的性取向,只好随波逐流,开心就好。

随着时间,课业愈来愈繁重。课外活动、感情、学业,重心没有取得平衡,一切都模糊了。我的成绩开始下滑,最后还有一个科目必须重修。到了另一个学期,甜蜜继续维持,但成绩也无法保持,最终面临了挫学的危机。第二学期后,他侥幸升上二年级,我却因有三科必须重修,得留级。

但似乎,我们还没从美梦中醒来,反而越陷越深。我们感情进入另一个阶段,开始有了同性性行为。明明是不愿意的我,却茫然的相信爱,寻找刺激,掉入了无底洞。这段错爱,充满的是刺激、激情、温暖、安全感。让我置身在其中,由他掌控,我迷失了方向。

醒来时,太晚了。

考试前夕,我们一块儿在图书馆温书。到一半,他突然握着我的手,轻声的说:“我爱你。”我在敷衍的回答了声“我也爱你”,就把手拉开了,因终究不习惯在大庭广众之下和他亲密。他却强拉着我到了厕所,似乎想要摊牌的感觉。他吞了口水,说:“我有爱之病。”我哑口无言,失魂落魄的独自走出厕所,满脑子同时出现了数十个问号。是开玩笑吧。怎么办?他只在我身后默默跟着我,不敢吭一声,如背影班,陪我走回桌子,收拾了一切,走回宿舍。

过后,直到考完试,我都不曾和他说话,在宿舍走廊上碰见,也故意往地上看,不接她的电话。是怨恨?我不觉得。因为我没那胆量去检测。所以不知,无辜,但就是不想和他有任何交流。考试结束后的一天,我勃起了勇气,去他宿舍房找他。看到他,我不禁抱了他。我们同时说道:“对不起”。

成绩放榜那一天,我也接获了我的爱之病检验报道。检验报道证实,我并没有换上。但学业成绩不佳,必须休学。想打电话给找他诉苦,他电话号码既然成了空号。到他宿舍房,才发现他已搬走。就算他家里的电话也联络不上。他就这样,似乎从人间消失了。

多在宿舍房里准备退房的我,对大学生活依依不舍。一边收拾这一年半来所堆积的东西,一边哭着。爱是什么?他算什么?现在要怎么办?回家要怎么向父母交待?他在那里?不安与焦虑涌上心头,我却只能默默承受一切压力。

过了一段时间,自我反省后,心情臣定了下来,思绪也整理了一番。撇去了曾经想自杀了事的念头。重新规划了自己的人生。拟定了新的目标。不再去想那些悲伤的事。

这一年半,让我对自己有了深入的了解。对科学的毫无兴趣,决定以后不再碰它。对人生的目标,知道自己应该读些什么。最重要的,是了解了自己的爱,自己的性取向。未必是件坏事。

开始懂了,什么是自己要的自由,什么是自己的幸福,什么是自己的爱,什么是自己的快乐。这些都是悲痛的经历换来的,如此可贵。

happy happy
来不及爱到平淡
就要告别你狂热的纠缠
我还在享受爱得提心吊胆
你这个人忽然再与我无关

来不及甘苦共享
我就变成你和她的负担
你要我原谅我无法抵抗
你却忍不住心花怒放


你的快乐让我内伤
表情细胞已经死亡
所以笑得比哭还难看

我的大方让你释放
你不用像囚犯逃亡
难道爱过我是场苦难

是你火中送炭我还能怎样
我的自尊快将死亡
只为你不肯假装悲伤
我眼看你洒脱逃亡
眼泪已在你眼中埋葬

********************************************************************************************************************

林夕不愧就是林夕。
出神入化的词,完整表达了痛身在爱情里,舍身为了他人的人。
是幸福还是辛苦,是爱人自己决定的。
对我来说,我觉得快乐。
不需要有名有份在这个社会或世界,只需我们俩相爱,
有着一群朋友们的祝福,
不向大众说也不要紧。

Its tough dating a "celebrity" of sorts
we have our own concerns.
he is protecting me
by not openly publicising our relationship.
well, its not that bad actually.
I feel safe, and I don't see the need to go around telling others.
it is not just a "trophy boyfriend" thing.
love is something shared by two,
as long as its mutual
and both are happy,
that is bliss....

这个派对, 这场演唱会,是令人感动,回味无穷地。 一首首动听的歌曲记录了思菘伟菘老师们25年来音乐的成长与突破。来宾个个都很给面子,就算是只到场唱拿两三首歌,甚至在台上唱双菘写给别人的歌,都也愿意。 主要的是都到场为两位老师送上祝福。

唯一的惊喜唯独周崇庆扮演阿哟哟老师,为全场带来笑料。整场音乐会算平凡,并没有什么值得称或贬的。

Stef Sun looked mature and ravishing in her new long hair. Looking forward to her concert!!
