a mother's love

gt this thru email frm derrick... ultra touching. cant help it but bring a tear to my eyes...

抢救人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被垮塌下来的房子压死的，透过那一堆废墟的的间隙可以看到她死亡的姿势，双膝跪着，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶着地支撑着身体，有些象古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压的变形了，看上去有些诡异。救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已经死亡，又在冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在在砖头上敲了几下，里面没有任何回应。当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊“快过来”。他又来到她的尸体前，费力的把手伸进女人的身子底下摸索，他摸了几下高声的喊“有人，有个孩子，还活着”。经过一番努力，人们小心的把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺着她的孩子，包在一个红色带黄花的小被子里，大概有3、4个月大，因为母亲身体庇护着，他毫发未伤，抱出来的时候，他还安静的睡着，他熟睡的脸让所有在场的人感到很温暖。随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意识的看了下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你”，看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一刻落泪了，手机传递着，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。

i'm back!

i'm back!!!

taiwan is a great place, i especially love e ppl there! super friendly n helpful... so rare in sg that i find myself questioning their motive, that is if they have any. it kinda bothers me that i have such thots, but i guess that's what happens when i'm brought up in sg - to be cautious of ppl.

e weather was great too! it's spring n it's so cooling - average was 21-22 degree celsius. to think tt we did nt sweat one bit with e amt of walking we did.

first nite there n we were stunned by e temp! 19 degree celsius only! SHIOK!!!!

e transport is gd too! we took their mrt n railway v often as we travel out of taipei a couple of times, n nt one time did we have to wait more than 2 mins. ppl ALWAYS keep to e right of e escalator to keep the left clear for ppl to walk, queue to get into the train, keep the priority seats empty for those who need them more.

all clear to go!

n of cos the greatest of all is the food!!!! yummy!!!! except for one - pig's blood cake. tasted VERY BAD. photos to be uploaded when i get them from liu n celine!
luckily din really get tt fat, cos we walked like 14 hours per day. out early in e morning at 8plus n back to hotel only at 11plus at nite. eat alot n walk alot. GD!

i also went to 八大, hoping to see a recording but end up there's no recording! =( found out later from his Stage's staffs that he is overseas, in Thailand to be exact cos xiaozhu blogged about it. better luck next time.

was shocked to hear of e Sichuan Earthquake. apparently, it happened on 12 May, which was our 2nd day there. we were at Leofoo Village theme park tt day n luckily we felt nothing, else we wld surely have freaked out. knew nothing about it till nite of 13 May, when celine's bf told her, n learnt e full extent of it only on the 14th, when we saw e news on tv. n it seems tt e riverbanks have collapsed n it's flooding now. bless them.

another shock was tt my neighbour jus passed away. though i nv like him, it was still pretty shocking... he's only 31 yrs old!

well, life's unpredictable.

anw, i missed e last match of e season but i got a msg frm Manish to say... we're champions again!!!! YEA! cant wait for e CL finals. shd watch at crabshacks?
still nt used to e fact that e season has ended, abit like no closure for me cos i miss e last match. this afternoon i was even asking my bro what matches are on tonite.

withdrawal syndromes of both taiwan n epl kicking in already!

driving.

i finally got a new hairdo~! actually permed it cos it's 49% off! recommended by my hairstylist. lol~ i cant wash it till tml n it's got lots of stylin products on, it's so uncomfortable.

n my bro finally passed his driving... one day shd ask him to drive my dad's cab n try parking n c how gd he is, cos he alw says i passed my test thru luck. =.= which may b true, cos i got e Eunos route, which is like e route of death. it's e longest n busiest n we're required to cut through 3 lanes n do a u-turn. once i cldnt cut thru e lanes in time n missed e u-turn. if tt happened durin tp, tadah! IMMEDIATE FAILURE. but luckily, e tester decided to give it a miss cos it was durin e peak hours n guess he wanted to avoid being stuck in a jam. so i ended up jus drivin around e centre, which was thank goodness cos i alr had 10 points demerit as i stroked e kerb in e circuit n another 2 for turnin on e spot i think. another 6 more pts wld haf cost me my license.

anw, talkin bout drivin, here's e world's hardest drivin test... in South Africa!
it's crazy la... as quoted,
"The hand brake must be engaged silently at all stops (ratchet-clicking is strictly forbidden), and all mirrors must be checked every seven seconds. Points are deducted for glancing at the gearshift, driving too slowly, failing to ensure that head- and taillights are securely attached, failing to check the play on the clutch pedal, failing to look beneath the car for leaks and several score other sins.

There are many ways to fail instantly, including permitting one’s automobile to roll backward, even an inch, while stopping or starting."
it's amazing how ppl even pass.

ok... last paper to go n off to taipei! but i'm gonna miss e last match of e season. =(

i know most ppl wld haf ended their exams, so... PLAY HARD PPL!!!!!

different ≠ wrong

i haf a few forums which i visit n ppl jus get into quarrels so often, it's sometimes really irritatin.

it's normal for ppl to haf different opinions, but i cant stand it when ppl start insultin each others n callin them names, thinkin tt e others r wrong to think this way. to me, it jus seems rude, disrespectful and arrogant, probably thinkin their opinions r more superior than others which is way nt true.

so does it mean, lookin in another way, they are also stupid(or wadever names they like to use) frm the others' pt of view since they think differently frm the others?

if u do not agree wif me, dun worry i wun call u names, ur views r nt wrong, they're jus different frm mine.

anw, xiaozhu jus posted this manliness link on this blog n i tried it out.

lol! 90% man... m i really that manly?
