王子

你可曾遇过你心目中的王子？

你心目中的王子是怎样的？

我想，应该是你第一眼看到他，就很奇妙地被他吸引，有他在你身边，你感觉从未感觉到的幸福，就好像自己是个公主一样，而当他离开你的时候，你感觉从未感觉到的心碎。即使好久不见，若在街上遇到他，你还是会心跳加速，你还是觉得他依然有“王子”的魅力。

昨晚我做了一个很长很长的梦，在梦里我就遇到了这样一个“王子”。

Sentosa Flowers 2008

New year is to celebrate the end of winter and the start of spring traditionally. What image do you have in mind when you think of spring? I think of the bright blooms, chirpy birds and warm cosy weather. :) You can find all these at the Sentosa Flowers! A good place for families, couples and friends to visit during this festive season. But I must say the response this year is really overwhelming (on 2nd day of CNY), such that you see more people than flowers, and there are long queues at "photo spots". Well, but again, where is the atmosphere of New Year if there is no crowd?

Mochi!

14 flavours of mochi. 55 pieces. Only 3 dollars! Just stuff as many as you can in a plastic bag and the seller even throws in one more handful for you as he packs the bagful in a carrier. What a great buy at Chinatown on the eve of CNY! :D

金元甜甜！

今天逛百货公司看见有个摊位在买应节糖果，就是100克$1.00任由你挑的那种，其中就有巧克力金元，让我想起了中学时，校长每年给我们的红包:)

每年的红包都有2个巧克力金元，还有一张爱心字条，我至今还收藏的很好嘞！一共有6个，从1993到1998 （1997和1998的红包应该是初院期间特地回中学庆新年而得来的吧！）字条上的寄语如下：

亲爱的宝贝：

新的一年又来临了，甜甜的金元为你们带来连年的好运。

我祝你们

身体健康，学业猛进。

生活愉快，笑口常开。

心想事成，万事如意。

愿你们在学习中成长，

做一个温文尔雅，

高贵大方又内涵的淑女。

愿天主降福予你和你的家人。

好怀念中学的时光哦！

请问有几所学校会像我的那样会分发这么有意义的红包给学生呢？我觉得自己很幸运，可以在这么一个有爱的环境下度过4年。除了学校走廊挂着悦耳的风铃，我们还养了许多小动物，甚至有公鸡和鳄鱼！我还记得有几次我们在草场升旗礼时，校长突然要我们静下来，闭上眼，聆听鸟的叫声。请问有几位校长会那么诗情画意呢？

我希望我可以永远记得这些回忆，希望曾经和我一起在这个爱的环境下成长的朋友们也可以记得这些回忆。:)

好心情！

有时候，遇到一个好人，会让你的心情好上一整天；有时候，遇到一个坏人，会让你的心情坏上一整天，甚至气到流泪。而我今天，不只遇到了一个好人，工作也异常顺利！

今天我接到一位时常有工作上来往的bank dealer的电话，他说他帮我找到了红包封套，想在午餐时间拿给我。初次见面，原来这位bank dealer还蛮帅的，虽然他已经38岁了，看起来好像30出头而已！他给我一个大信封，里头有20多包的红包封套，我都觉得有点不好意思，哈哈。他还请我吃roti prata/muttabak哦！我们还聊的蛮多的，这一餐吃得挺开心的！

今天我的office mailbox还蛮静的，没有什么紧急email, 我可以专心做其它事，如果接下来每天都这样，年除夕那天有望作半天就可以回！

我的女manager问我，今天过得怎样？我说还好，应该可以早回，说完便笑了笑。她竟然说，"Do you know that your smile is very sweet? Your husband must have told you that." 我说, "No, he didn't, hahahahaha!" 也许她希望我在公司可以多笑吧，无论如何，有人说我的笑容很sweet, 我应该开心吧！

我今天真的蛮早回家的，6.20pm. :) 今天我老板又反常，6.15pm 就回了，我也更没理由留下来工作了。哈哈。:)

有时候，遇到一个好人，真的可以让你的心情好上一整天。:)

Puppets!

I managed to catch the Guangxi Puppet Art Troupe in action at Jurong Point yesterday. At first I thought it was just some traditional dance item when suddenly some dancers appeared with large rod puppets. They put up items like 《梁山伯与祝英台》, 《天鹅湖》，《女孩与孔雀》，《西游记-大战红孩儿》. It was amazing to see how the puppets could move in such a life-like manner, especially the ballet puppets! Controlling a ballet puppet seemed the most tedious of all, it needed 3 performers-one in front to control the legs, one in the middle to control the head and spine, one at the back to control the hands.

Notice how the performers wore matching costumes like their puppets. I liked the costumes of the peacock item best of all! Both ladies and the peacock puppet displayed such graceful moves!

Caring family and friends

I had been leaving office after 9pm for the past few days and for 2 days consecutively, I left my office at 10.30pm. As my hp was in my bag, I was not aware that my home had called me. It was always my father. There was one voicemail that he left asking me where I was and what time I was going home. When I finally reached home, I saw my father or mother heating up the soup for me and the rice cooker would still be in "keep warm" mode. :)

For the 2 consecutive days when I reached home at 11pm plus, my parents had already gone to bed. My little sis would also turn on the fire over the stove to heat up the soup. I didnt get to see my parents for that 2 days. When I saw my mother this morning before I went to work, the first thing she said was "每天做到这么迟啊?" and she asked me if I had taken any food at dinner time. :)

Ani sms-ed me at around 10pm last night informing about a piano class. I replied her at 10.30pm telling her that I had just left office and had not had dinner. She replied at 12am "Oh dear. Sleep my dear friend, you are working so hard." :)

During the emails exchange between me, Ani and Doreamin, Doreamin wrote something that gave me strength to move on: 深呼吸，放轻松，天无绝人之路! :)

Today I could finally leave office at 7pm! And I happily sms-ed my little sis, Ani and a friend who had lunch with me today. They were all happy for me. My friend replied "Great, have an early rest and weekends coming! Hurray!" Ani replied "Yeah! Rest well! Eat well!" When I reached my doorstep, my little sis opened the door, popped her head out and shouted "Yay! 恭喜你！恭喜你！恭喜你！Congratulations!" :)

My mother told me she had got me a sandwich to bring to work this morning but when she came home, I had already left the house. Although I didnt get to eat the sandwich, I was touched by her gesture :)

I must say I really had it bad at work these few days. Many things had not gone smoothly. My luck was extremely bad. My daily prayers didnt help. But at the end of it, I realised how caring my family and friends are. :)) I must always remember that no matter what happens, I still have them. :))
