The old lady cries when it rains,
as her washerwoman daughter can't dry the clothes she wash.
The old lady cries when it shines,
as her umbrella-selling daughter can't sell her umbrellas.

A Zen master comes along and tells her:
Why don't you rejoice when it rains, for your second daughter?
Why don't you rejoice when it shines, for your first daughter?
The old lady agrees, now laughing heartily, be it rain or shine.

Another Zen Master comes along again and tells her:
Why aren't you sad when it rains, for your first daughter?
Why aren't you sad when it shines, for your second daughter?
Is there really reason to be elated or sad?
To go through emotional highs and lows?
The old lady becomes calm... enlightened in peaceful equanimity.


The enlightened have no likes and dislikes:
All forms of dualism
Are contrived by the ignorant themselves.
They are like unto visions and flowers in the air;
Why should we trouble ourselves to take hold of them?
Gain and loss, right and wrong �
Away with them once for all!

real Love is not based on attachment, but on altruism..
in this case, your compassion will remain as a humane response
to suffering as long as beings continue to suffer..

oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
where the deer and the antelope play

where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day

home, home on the range
where the deer and the antelope play

where seldom is heard a discouraging word
and the skies are not cloudy all day


suddenly, this song happened to play in my mind.. hee..

recently, a new car magazine "STE3R" came to town.. and it
feature about OG.. which annoyed many people.. cos they afraid the
"white ants" would take up higher measure to ensure orchard rd
"noise & smoke" pollution.. ;) there's supposed to be a shootup by
STEER at yishun dam last night, but maybe i was late.. athough its 1am,
both side of the roads were filled with cars.. lots of gatherings were held
there by swift GTi, ITR, SHC, starlet, SSC, MCS, some SDC and not
forgetting those "loud machine" blasting latest pop songs and trance..
i wonder whether the clubs are shifting their meetups from S11 to the dam
after they seen the mag.. anyway, we still went down to orchard S11..
its indeed more quiet compared to the past.. and down the roads, there
were quite a few patrol cars.. will OG be a history soon? hmmm..

遇见你 需要运气
爱上你 却要多少勇气
渺小的我 只忠于自己
人世间 却容不下一段传奇

有人说 该忘了你
我宁愿 忘记了我无知
失去了你 讨好整个天地
有什么值得了不起

我不顾一切 让世界停止
也要换你一个坚持
人生的结局 不相聚就是分离
也总算留下了相爱的痕迹

有人说 我该放弃
要反悔 比执迷还容易
最难的是 失去爱的能力
在孤独里醉生梦死

全世界都在等着我看着你
让我吻下去爱上你

吻下去爱上你－陈晓东　词：林夕　曲：陈晓东　编曲：屠颖 专辑：Perfect Love

-Donnie- You're Donnie and you belong to Katie
Marie. You come off as a little angry or quiet,
but you're actually a pretty cool person.
You're deeper than people think, and you're the
one that will come back to make sure your
friends are ok,even if you left at first.

went to shin's concert last night.. the whole theatre was lighted up by
hundreds of colourful light sticks.. i really take my hat off ah xing..
he could sing, scream and still manage not to break his voice..

i was sending a friend home after the concert.. i should have take the
ecp to jurong, but i end up driving toward the changi airport direction..
it had not been the first time and i'm still used to going to the east..
esp. the pie..



Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit
or because Tree didn't ask her to stay?

winter is coming, Tree is cold
Tree never know that Leaf will eventually let go

snow started to fall, Tree is alone
Tree is too numb to feel the wind

snow filled the sky, Tree started to cry
Tree hoping for the next spring to regain its smile

Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit
and Tree can't ask her to stay....

i really can't run anymore..
my left knee used to hurt after 2-3 rounds..
but today, i can't even complete a round in cheng san park..

my ex once asked me.. "would you talk to others about me?"
coz i used to talk to her about a girl i had a crush on before we were a
couple.. i regretted deeply for breaking up with her.. it was in impulse..
i didn't realise i need her.. i'm not even mentally prepared..
and within 2 weeks, she's gone.. she said i'm heartless..
yes, in a moment i am.. but isn't she?

of cos i would talk about her more then anyone else.. she is one of the most
important person in my life.. i even talk to my ex colleague, who i don't
really confide to.. but now when my friends asked about us again, i'm
no longer sad.. in fact, i often smile to myself whenever i think back of us..
she had put me behind, and i should also do the same thing..
that's what she want me to do.. although i spent 2 months of misery,
but i'd almost 2 yrs of happy moments with her.. although my first love is
a bitter ending, i never regret being with her..


girl went to find boy at ecp,
girl wanted to surprise boy..
lost control from her bike..
fell down onto the sand..
boy felt pains in his heart..
girl picked herself up and cycled away in tears..
boy left his friends and ran after girl,
boy ran as fast as he could..
couldn't find girl..
boy knew how she felt..
boy very sad..
continued to run as fast as he could.. searching for girl..
boy reached the end of ecp,
still couldn't find girl..
boy terribly worried..
boy called girl again..
boy finally found girl..
after sprinting for almost an hour..
if not for the power of love..
boy could never have run like this..
but boy's knee couldn't take it..
boy never warm up before run..
boy suffered pamanent injury in left knee..

"never regret whatever you'd done.."

ya heard of it somewhere huh.. well, don't get wrong.. i never agree
with the above statement.. people think its kinda cool? i think they're
kind of a fool.. how about "never regret what you have not done?"

its the same theory isn't it.. coz people regretted what they have not
done, thats why they came out with the first statement.. i believe most of
us regretted doing something more then not doing it.. because humans are
emotional and too prone in making mistakes.. we'd done things which
better left undone.. which mean we actually make lesser mistakes if we'd
done nothing in a particular situation.. but again, coz of the first
statement, they lie to themselves.. keep telling themselves not to regret
their decisions.. and continue to do things with their emotions..

to me, its not a matter of whether i regret making a decision or regret
not making.. in either way, i may regret.. coz humans are not perfect..
i make mistakes esp. when im emotional.. and i deeply regretted making some
decisions.. but i didn't tell myself "alrite, juz continue to do what i
feel like and don't regret my decision anymore.." its kind of lying to
myself..

i'm not asking anyone to regret and clinge on to their mistakes, not
forgiving themselves.. we regret when we feel we did something wrong..
juz learn from the mistakes and continue with life.. what's so difficult?
why must we lie to ourselves and everybody that everything we do,
we do it without regrets.. this way, we might not think back and learn
from our mistakes when we really make one.. anyone agreed with the first
statement and disagreed with my posting, pls give me a tag.. i really hope
you could enlighten me..

i really forgotten when is the first time i went to kallang rally..
i only remember that it was dad who brought me along.. :)
finally, i can have my own weekends.. and my first weekend
was welcomed by SMSA.. heez.. i'd missed the rallies for about a year..
having a car mechanic as dad is great!~ while we are looking
at the modified cars, he would told me the modifications done on
the cars... for the first time i saw the hydraulic suspension, the one
you seen in fast and furious, where the racer push a button and the
car's suspension would be lowered.. well, this rally has the most mishaps
i'd seen so far due to wet weather.. the "most embarrassed award"
go to a STI which lost control after a turn and spin 540 degree! lolz..

and ya know what? NONE of the STI win evo8.. however, as for long
run, i think the STI may have an advantage coz of its boxer engine..
its the first time i'm feeling so happy after my breakup.. i have a
mum who dote me alot.. she bought me oeishi ice cream, while my eyes
are locked at the cars.. thks mom! =)
