Last day of 2004
Nothing much to take note of. Just in case I'm no longer here tomorrow, I have left a piece of me behind today.

These 2 days have been crazy at work. On my boss's command, we had to scramble to get 2 media filters ready in 24 hours! Such seemingly impossible task, but we made it. Although we didn't do it in 24 hours, because it just wasn't possible. Anyway, it was all done in good will, to help to alleviate the worsening condition of water supply contamination at Maldives, so although it was tough, I was really happy when I sent the e-mail confirmation to get the party involved to collect the package on Monday. Of course, without all the support from suppliers, contractor, supervisors, it wouldn't have been possible.

Hope we can do something more for other countries like India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.

Water is so precious....

When disaster like this strikes.....
It's a wake up call. Time and time again, God has warned us through natural and man made disasters. A tragic disaster like this force us to realise that life IS extremely fragile. God can give us all, but he can also take all of that away. Because He is God. As the creator, He does have the right, you know. It's probably a hard fact to swallow for some. Everything happens for a reason. Perhaps God is lashing out His wrath for the unspeakable evils and sins that mankind is indulging in. Perhaps we have pissed Him off by not taking care of His creation. Perhaps this is a preview of THE END for the unbelievers. Perhaps it's a wake up call to us so called Christians to buckle up. Speculations. We're not God so we wouldn't know. When people do not listen, THIS is what make people pay attention. And I pray to God that people will start repenting and realise what a sinful world we live in. Time is running out and I feel a real sense of urgency. Seeing the death toll climbing at an exponential rate is shocking. This morning the death toll was 68,000, and now, it's over 80,000??? Do you know how many bodies that is?? I can't even begin to imagine... 12,000 in the span of just a few hours. How many of you can make $12,000 in a few hours or make 12,000 calls or walked 12,000 steps?? I can't help but am deeply saddened by the fact how many of those hundreds of thousands of souls were lost and most of them have probably not come to know the Lord.
It's sobering. Something so beautiful can also be so deadly. Suddenly all my problems seem so trivia next to this. It's easy for us to say that we should cherish what we have but most of the time, we're not doing what we say. We still get impatient when some idiots try to overtake us. We still get angry when people we love make some mistakes and piss us off. We still get upset over trivia stuff and dwell on things that should not. We still don't tell people that we love them enough. We still don't be honest with others when it's necessary. We still sit around and do nothing when someone needs help. We're still INDIFFERENT many times. What does it really mean to cherish what you have?
Am I being over critical? Am I just all talks and no action?

自言自語
你說你寂寞﹐
我說我已習慣寂寞的來臨。
你說人為何怕寂寞﹐
我說人要懂得如何承受生活的磨煉才能長大
你說長大了又如何﹖
我啞口無言。

Post Christmas
For some reason, I can't really write anything meaningful now. Staring at the screen for a few minutes, trying to write something at least memorable about this Christmas, and ...... blank. I'm sure I have something to say. I just can't remember. Or am I too tired that it's affecting my brain activities. Everything is slowing down.... Or is it just me?

Had dinner with my friend from high school in Australia tonight. It's a familiar and yet unfamiliar feeling talking to her. Then I realised that we first met each other like 14 yrs ago!! It sure didn't feel like it was THAT long ago... We have taken quite a different pathway in life. She said I haven't changed. I'd say the same thing to her too. Hahaha..... But listening to her listing out all the names that I used to know, but now feeling most guilty for not being able to remember who they are anymore... And most of them are married.... Now that's the scary part.....

Never again....
Remind me why I should never put myself through this misery again.... Sleeping 2 1/2 hours just doesn't cut it, man.... I am beyond tired. I feel like I've been squashed by a really really fat elephant..... An elephant that is sitting on me and eating banana at the same time....

旅行的意義
I love Cheer because of many things, one of which is her voice. To me, her voice bears a magical touch that freezes time and everything else around. Listening to her songs is one of my stress relieving activities. And of course, I'm biased. I love guitar songs.....

旅行的意義 (2003)
曲詞:陳綺貞

你看過了許多美景
你看過了許多美女
你迷失在地圖上每一道短暫的光陰

你品嚐了夜的巴黎
你踏過下雪的北京
你收集書本裡每一句你最愛的真理

卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你動心
說不出離開的原因

你累積了許多飛行
你用心挑選紀念品
你收集了地圖上每一次的風和日麗

你擁抱熱情的島嶼
你埋葬記憶的土耳其
你流連在電影裡美麗的不真實的場景

卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你動心
說不出旅行的意義

卻說不出你愛我的原因
你卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你動心
說不出離開的原因

你勉強說出你為我寄出的每一封信
都是你旅行的意義

Let's start all over again....
Tis the time of the year again to account for all the time that you've lost and wasted and suddenly you're overwhelmed by guilt that you haven't done what you've set out to do at the beginning of the year then you realised to your horror that you have left your mind at last year or the year before but you're in constant denial that age has caught up with you a long time ago and then you said what the heck crap happens and life goes on and then you continue with the battle of life......
