Ktv: 单身潜逃
戴佩妮 - 单身潜逃
我没有你想像中那么坚强
我只是擅长用微笑去伪装
不是吗
我没有你形容的那么勇敢
我偶尔也会慌
我也和你一样
曾经年少轻狂
受了一点伤
我们都是一样
相信永远不远
但坚持却有点难
就让记忆中的爱慢慢烧
烧痛了我们就逃
带着现实的铐
摺叠我剩余的微笑
通往没有你的轨道
就让记忆中的你慢慢老
老去了谁也得不到
带着我的祈祷
摺叠我累积的问号
开始一次的单身潜逃
仔细停歌词后,觉得很有认同感,有一点觉得整首歌词都在写着我的心情和想法。
我基本上就是这样的,给别人的感觉就是我很坚强,很勇敢。
但其实很多时候我只是特别擅长伪装。

Woohoo
And this last payment is probably part of the interest, because it is a weird $30++ amount.
Yay! Finally it is all over.
They are supposed to be deducting the funds yesterday, but due to the p/h, they might be doing it today only. And after this deduction, I am debt free!!!!!!!
Calls for a celebration, no? =)
Legitimate reason to be lazy
I went back last fri, and now I've absolutely no mood to go back at all.
The work at with me at home now, so I can do them if I want to. But the thing is, I've no fucking mood to do it at all.
I think I will just do whatever I feel like doing, for everything else, I shall just leave it alone so that my boss will have a legitimate reason to scold me. Whahahah.

Ang pow money
HUGE waste of time if I can add.
I dont have any generous relatives, and everyyear I am wasting time at my grandmother's place trying hard not to let my irritation show.
Well, everyone knows about it, how relatives will relentlessly ask you stupid questions and make you want to strangle yourself. For me, it is less of those embarrassing questions that riffled me, but more of those questions that doesnt make sense at all.
"Still happy working there?"
Hmm, I shakes head and ponder.. I am not exactly very happy working where I am because of the stress level. But yet being a designer seemingly is my call despite the numerous times when I want to bring my head forcefully to the wall and draw blood from the resulting wound.
Being a designer gives me all the proper reason to keep reading and learning, something which I learn. While many people believes they had already finished their share of learning once they graduate from school, I find it amazingly comforting to read and know more.
Being a designer gives me the right to want to know about different things. "I am trying to seek inspirations," I will exclaim, blushing in an effort to disguise the nerdiness being picked up by other's ultra sensitive nerd radar.
Also I enjoy the lifestyle and association tied to a desig.... hey! What the hell. The person whom had asked had already turned his attention to the box of bak gua. Sheesh, asking for the sake of making idle converstation only.
Ka pui!
So I spent hours there trying to morph into the red and cheery cushion cover. And eventually when I am back, I just hand the angpow to my parents without counting the loot.
Speaking of parents, I meant to give them $250 each for the new year angpow, but my elder brother wanted to give more but he cant afford it..
In the end? I decided on $168 but he make me give just $108 only and he would give $128 each.
Quite cheapskate hor he! And he even borrow money from me because he hadnt prepare.. Sigh, stupid me, I should just went ahead and give and make him look bad.
He received 2.2 bonus ok, while I receive only 0.5, and he keep saying his bonus after deduction is only 4k.
KNN. Really feel like slapping him. Why is he whining that he have to deduct cpf, doesnt all fucking rest of us have to deduct too.
WHINER!

小心眼) 又怎么样?
我对于不喜欢的东西,通常不会虚伪的假装喜欢。
对待人,我秉持同一份平等。
不喜欢的东西我不会捧在手中。不喜欢的人我不会陪笑脸。
可能就是因为这样子,我从来都不是很受欢迎的人。
我不想去阿谀奉承,不愿去扮着很和蔼,不能接受自己需要因为社会舍下的标准去掩饰不悦。
即使不合群的人不受欢迎。
社会和普罗大众可以拟定标准,我当然也应该有资格为我的人生和行为刻划一个我能认同的标准。
我不喜欢的人和事,一旦不喜欢了,我常常会一直不喜欢下去。
就算在别人眼中我小气又小心眼,那又怎样?
IRIS service
I was reading my blog (well, that kinda clue you on how bored I am) and I realised I never continue my bus-timing-activity.
Actually I recorded more than 2 days worth of bus timing, but I had been too
And now I dont really need to, because there is this service call IRIS.
Although it is not 100% accurate, at least now I can look at the schedule, and leave the office 15 minutes before the next bus is stipulated to arrive.
It takes me 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop, and if I am so blessed that the bus reached early, I would be on my way home immediately.
If the bus happen to be late, then I would be waiting for not more than 10 minutes usually, which still makes me a very happy girl.
10 minutes of waiting time is definately acceptable to me, and hence I've much less grievances these days. Also, I had been doing quite a lot of OTs these days that I am taking taxi home most of the time, so it doesnt really affect me.
So, to set the record straight, I hadnt been updating not because I was THAT lazy, but because I've scrapped the activity all together.
Dont look at me with disdain!

杯中物) 是揭伤疤的罪魁祸首
其实是好那一杯杯的酒,还是好那个和我喝酒的人,我没有必要骗自己。
他不在身边后,我减少了饮酒的习惯。我反而更常抽烟,因为他是反对吸烟的。
反正都不再会得到他的一句关心,我抽烟抽到死也不会影响到他。
抽烟抽到最自豪的声音都沙哑了也不再有关系。
于是,我不再想去喝酒。 即使是有喝酒的机会和场合,我也只是喝那一杯半杯。我不想去想起以前他对我说过的话,不想记得他和我安静的并肩坐着,更不想触碰任何有关他的记忆。
虽然说不喝酒的时候我也常想起他,但绝不会比我喝酒的时候那么深深的挂念着他。
酒精洗净我的胃,
洗净了我脑袋里满满的烦恼,
却洗净不了心中的那个他。

没心情) 所以不想上班
没什么原因,只是心情欠佳。
最近工作真的是 琐碎且繁多,每天每天的忙碌,好象都只是在瞎忙一场。我累得很想找个地方躲起来,好让我不再需要去记得这些令人懊恼的事情。
我常提醒自己放轻松一点,因为我这样紧崩着情绪不仅是伤害自己,也是对周围的人不公平。我每每告诉自己要学会放下,不要对事情过分执着,但是好象都没什么作用。
今天睡醒,就决定不想去上班。反正也不会有心情,在办公室也不过是假装在办事,干脆不去了。
放自己一天假,让自己心情愉快一些。
为自己做那么一点事,是自己还办得到的。

The hectic week
Didnt help that the clients change their mind every few hours, and one of the client is in singapore while the other one is in auzzie. While the logical thing to do is that wait until they confirm before i start drawing, it is not possible because they will never decide.
And there are somethings that I've to think out while I am doing the drawings, and if I havent finalise the design, whenever they ask me, I am at a loss of what to answer. Then they will contemplate to change more details, wiping out the 50% or so that I've already mapped out.
Monday -
Doing powerpoints on Proj110 for manager. This is a marketing job, how come they dont hire a marketing and make us designers do it. TOO MUCH!
Doing Proj098. The client apparently likes me too much, and keep giving me new empty layouts to fill. How many options do they really want me to do? Shucks.
Proj103 not touched.
OT till 8pm. Gave up and went home.
Tuesday -
Doing Proj098. Still not finalised because client decided to take an EVEN smaller space and expect me to squeeze everything in. Everyone chorus "做不到!" with me.
Doing presentation boards for Proj110. Had been spending time liasing with the contractors but no one is responding fast enough. I've really little patience for people whom take moons to get things done.
(That is why I am always impatient with myself!)
Managed to finish 2 boards out of 4, and had already arranged everything nicely for the remaining 2 boards, expect to come in on wed and stick them down and tada~!
OT until 9pm. Worn out and went home.
Wednesday -
Doing presentation boards for Proj110. The submission deadline is 12pm and I spent the whole morning just doing the fucking pasting for 2 boards., plus taking calls from client on Proj098. New space for them again, and I told client I cant get the layout done within the same day, will try by thurs' evening.
I grew to realise I work better with no one around, and outside working hours where there's no one to distract me. Know what? I think I will go back to work on chinese new year since I dont want to go visit those damn relatives who talked to much with contents lacking.
Spent 1pm to 6pm with client of Proj103 at showrooms, then spent the night revising layout for the system furniture.
OT until 9pm. Shut down and went home.
(Must start on the construction drawings le lah!!!!!!! Tomorrow, really tomorrow!)
Thursday -
Do layout for Proj098. I am going mad already, and I dont even need to look at the requirements anymore, given I've memorised them after doing 6 completed layouts in the past 2 weeks.
Finished within half a day, not exceptionally fast, but my concentration level is decreasing rapidly due to the overuse for the past few days. Left the office to visit site for Proj103.
(Construction drawings not started!! Wails.)
At site with client from 4pm to 7pm. Went back to office and helped colleague with his sch project for a while, and eventually started to revise layout (with the latest comments after site walkthrough) at ard 8.30. Finished at 10pm and started doing basework for construction drawings, like title blocks, and etc. Did I mention design actually not confirmed at this point?
I die, I really die.
OT until 11pm. Collaspe over and went home.
Friday -
"I must start on the construction drawings!!" was the only thing I chanted the whole day. Then manager advised I should get the design out first, let the client confirm, then maybe things will be easier. Sound advice, and hence the time was spent on finalising the design and the layout. Client called me thrice, each call lasting 30 minutes with different things to change, and before I know it, it was 6pm.
Helped colleagues develope concept for his school project.
(Up till today after I rejected him - I decided to reject help after 3 days - he havent done any concept research. But what do I expect, if he didnt do anything for the past 26 weeks - they begged for extension - will he do anything in the 27th week? I am kidding myself)
Went to buy dinner at 8pm, and started to revise the layout based on client's third call at 5.30pm, and managed to get the layout done within 1 hr - 8.30 to 9.30 and sent out to client.
Supposed to be meeting colleagues for karaoke - reward for a punishing week and I have to leave at 9.45 to be able to meeting them at 10pm. Maybe I shouldnt go since I've so much more to do. Worked until 10.45pm before deciding, Hey! I deserve a break!
Sang karaoke until 2am.
Saturday -
I hate going back to work on saturday but there I was. I reached the office at 2pm and didnt start immediately. I decided to clear up the clutter (I wasnt in the mood to start working yet) and I started work at 4pm.
I eventually worked till 12am. I enjoyed the solitude though I fear some apparitions would appear anytime.
Sunday - I slept till 1 am and watched tv. Here I am blogging this long entry and I estimated that around 8pm I will do some drawings until say 10pm. 2 hours of work is all I can manage on a sunday. Hee. =)

Happy for him. =)
易桀齊 學友、華仔都找他
更新日期:2007/02/04 15:40記者:記者梁岱琦/專訪創 作人最難面對的就是自己的作品被改,易桀齊曾一度因此想退出音樂圈,在不願歌曲被更改下,易桀齊三年只賣了十首歌。但他的堅持有了代價,不只張學友把他寫 的「好久不見」當主打歌,最近雙「劉」劉德華和劉若英都相中他創作的同一首歌,兩人搶著唱,易桀齊滿足地說,「就讓他們自己去協調囉」。
易 桀齊已經五年沒有出片,與第一張專輯相較,現在的易桀齊對音樂更有自信,跟著李宗盛在北京住了兩年多的他,與好友伍冠諺一塊製作了第二張專輯「一整片天 空」。易桀齊透露,他在2003年一度想要退出音樂圈,原因不是太久沒發片,而是每次唱片公司向他邀歌,總會有許多無理的要求,在不願創作面目全非下,易 桀齊強調那段期間他盡量不賣歌,「我希望買我的歌就不能改,因此得罪了許多人」。
易桀齊算算在這三年裡,他只賣掉了十首歌,生活當然過得不 是很好,幸好過去曾幫梁靜茹寫了「如果有一天」、「半個月亮」,持續有版稅可拿,他笑說,「梁靜茹可是我的衣食父母」。易桀齊的堅持是對的,因此個人風格 逐漸清楚,最近張學友強打的「好久不見」就是易桀齊寫的,他放心地說,「我知道學友不會把它改成R&B或Hip Hop」,只是易桀齊並沒有接到張學友親自邀歌的電話,他笑說,「如果他打來我會腿軟」。香港另一個「天皇級」的組合「溫拿五虎」,新專輯也收了易桀齊的 創作。
易桀齊現在北京有自己的公寓、也養了隻狗,沒事就上咖啡廳,讓老在咖啡廳遇到他的李宗盛羨慕地對他說,「你真會過生活」。專輯中易桀 齊請來好友戴佩妮為他在「花的話」中呢喃一段,「聽這歌」則是根據梁靜茹寫給他的Mail,修改而成的,不管再忙,戴佩妮和梁靜茹只要到北京,一定會抽空 與易桀齊碰面,對這些好友的寵愛和照顧,易桀齊十分感謝,李宗盛更曾語重心長對他說,「你們這群人感情很難得,要好好珍惜」。專輯裡的最後一首歌 「917」是紀念父親之作,當初人在台北的易桀齊竟無法訂到機票,趕回大馬見父親最後一面,「『917』是我很致命的一首歌」,父親是支持也是反對他做音 樂的人,直到今日,易桀齊說,「我有時還會好像在人群中看到爸爸」,「917」對他來說,就像是場「葬禮」,曾因太沈重不想收在專輯裡,但最後反成專輯裡 讓許多人流淚的歌曲。

Giant dolls
It was a windy night, so we decided we shall just take a walk along and gong jiao wei.
Until we reached the bridge below the Shenton Way road.
There was giant carved dolls under the bridge, supposedly for the chinese new year decoration, but really, it was damn scary!
But I wasnt really scared by it. I was more amused by it hence I tried to take some pictures of it. But my camera resolution wasnt good enough, and I've forgotten to bring my digital camera with me, hence this is the best I can do.

一小时) 的独处时间
每天的工作,得接触的人绝对不会是仅仅的几个人,而是很多我不认识,或不熟悉的人。我不能不和他们打交道,是因为工作需要。我不能不和他们打交道,是因为社会不允许人耍孤僻。
能选择,我会很乐意少点和不认识的人交谈,但我没的选择。
上个星期五,以下雨为理由而取消咖啡约会的笨女人,让我一时间不知道能去哪里。和同事的饭局十点结束后,我盘算着应该回家还是应该自己出去走走。
最后在巴士站以五秒的时间内决定,乘坐一趟不直通家的巴士。
承搭106号巴士时,我是需要中途转车,再搭大概10个车站才能到家。
可是我当晚并没有。我下车后顿也没顿一下,就往家的方向走去。我知道这么一走 -- 加上当晚是下着雨的 -- 我没1个小时是到不了家的。
但是对待自己,我总会任性。
于是我就慢慢的散步回家。
整整一个小时,我全程独处,除了我的音乐。
整整一个小时,世界好象停顿下来,让我有空间独自穿梭。
整整一个小时,没有人打扰,没有人出现。
那是一种截然不同的步伐。
我们大人啊,每天繁忙的有时自己都忘了是为了什么。真的有那么多事情是不能留到明天处理的吗?就真的不能不做超时工,不加班吗?
大家努力挣钱,好让以后日子过得舒服一点,但也不要忘了偶尔要停下脚步来享受一下宁静。
