Thumbs up!!!
Go Zp... slyhterin person...lame peer....fren...brave through the present for a better future :)
working sucks...
當我向老板請假的時候，老板寫了這封信這樣回答我：
你想請一天假？看看你在向公司要求什麼？一年裡有 365天你可以工作。
一年52 個星期，你已經每星期休息 2天，剩下 261 天工作。
你每天有 16 小時不在工作，去掉170 天，剩下 91天。
每天你花30 分鐘時間喝咖啡，加起來每年 23天，剩下 68 天。
每天午飯時間你花掉 1小時，又用掉 46 天，還有22 天。
通常你每年請 2 天病假，這樣你的工作時間只有20 天。
每年有 5 個節假日，公司休息不上班，你只幹15 天。
每年公司還慷慨地給你 14 天假期，算下來你就工 作1 天，
而你他媽的還要請這一天假？
我的回信內容：
你怎麼不說 ---
每天8:30 分上班，我8:10 就要從家中出門
( 這段時間我為公司做事 ,但是 ....... 沒有給我錢) 。
每天 17:30下班，我要到 18:00 才會到家
( 這段時間我為公司做事 ,但是 ......沒有給我錢 ) 。
公司規定不能隨便穿，要穿襯衫西裝庫皮鞋，偏偏我最討厭穿襯衫西裝褲皮鞋，這我要花自己的錢去買，公司也沒有給錢。
每天看電腦，對我的眼睛是一大傷害，我近視平均每年增加 至少100 度，將來的醫藥費還要自己付，為了工作傷害自己永久的健康，公司也不做這方面的補助。
每天用滑鼠鍵盤，害的我肩膀酸痛的要死，回去還要自己買沙龍趴思來貼，這部份公司又不提供沙龍趴思，又得我自己出錢。
每次有案子，你一句話丟下來，我就要花盡心思，怎麼打一份讓你交差的企劃書，隨時隨地走到哪裡 連半夜作夢都夢到，公司也沒給我加班費。
客戶不爽，打來公司對著我的耳朵狂吼，弄的我精神衰弱、食慾不振，還要開夜車趕案子，開紿懷疑我會過勞死，公司也沒給我錢和保險。
每天希望同事和客戶在工作上能夠配合，所以自己出去玩的時候，還要買個紀念品給同事和客戶以打好關係，這紀念品的錢還是要我自己出。
我不過多請一天? ?/

Creation and evolution
A little girl asked her mother, 'How did the human race appear?' The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made.
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.
The confused girl returned to her mother and said, 'Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?'
The mother answered, 'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.

alpha grounds chinese poems
hey guys feel like trying out my uber sucky poems haha just random ideas hmm but i personally think its cool (at least cos its original) so if you do not want to spoil your eyes or fry your brains, you might wanna give this post a skip. haha
得之我幸；不得，我命。如此而已。
我们都在各自的轨道上摸索着下一个路口 选择跌倒 微笑 沉默 痛苦着 我们也许曾有所交集 但最后还是会背道而行 生活就是如此 我们在回忆和追求中步行着 时间不会为了谁而停滞 遇到了谁 爱过了谁 我想我都会带着笑 含着泪 一步一步坚强的前行
我将于茫茫人海中访我唯一灵魂之伴侣，得之我幸；不得，我命。如此而已。
this poem i thought of in the bath
你我毫无相连，表示一见钟情
彼此感情要好，表示疑惑深渊
你我多年好友，表示理想一致
但要是并非如此，那心动何解呢？
what i desperately was trying to display is this poem within this "work of art" is the emotions of a heart when this couple meet. first line seeks to explain two strangers meeting, second line for friends, third for best friends. Can't see any of it huh, wells me neither!
oh wells to help save some grace i shall post one of the most beautiful sentences written in chinese ever!!! (sry andrea, request for translation if u're interested)

Words of reflection
These few days is well to say the least jam-packed, air-tight and potentially deadly, just heard from the PM's rally that Singapore's children are not really stressed, and they have adopted a teach less learn more scheme (obviously only applies to some schools), for all I know ever since the 5 day work week and teach less learn more scheme has started, I've only seen teacher teaching less stuff (slacking(some)), making me muddle-headed for just about every subject, and the learning process is uber painful, read:more hwk. Oh wells teacher has been re-emphasizing that if you are struggling with I.B better drop to Alvls before you cry hmmm so tempting haha
But like i said always why do something halfway then give up (ok maybe not always), go for it, finish the task, if its a race run complete it, if its a game play it, if its a drama serial watch it, and if its homework, pretend you lost it (muhahaha!) Time really truly flies, or maybe is because I actually put in considerable amounts of effort (ALAS!) but it seems like the day before was PAE, yesterday was announcement of posting, and tmr is Promos, whoa! scarier than any horror flick written by M Night Shamayalan (is it correct spelling???) Oh wells, believe in yourself guys, and pls pls pls take a break if u need to, nvr burnout because when that happens, God bless you. Just don't!
Finally I shall rant abt my growing financial woes, limited resources and unlimited wants, that is so me, trying to fight off temptations to buy anything not needed, remember a wise guru once said, what you want is not what you need, what you need is not what you have, and what you have is not what you want.

Email stories...thought evoking
Not as tear jerking as the other stories (read: andrea) but nevertheless one that stops you in your tracks of the daily life to step back and look at what you have accomplished and what more can be done.
Sometimes we just need to be reminded!
A well-known speaker
started off his seminar by:
holding up a $20.00
bill In the room of 200, he asked, 'Who would like this $20 bill?'
Hands started going up.
He said, 'I am going to give this
$20 to one of you
but first, let me
do this.
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill .
He then asked, 'Who
still wants it?'
Still the hands
were up in the air.
Well, he
replied, 'What if I do this?'
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
'Now, who still wants it?'
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it
because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives,
we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and
the circumstances that come
our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has
happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
you are still
priceless to those who
DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,
but by WHO WE ARE and
WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special
-
Don't EVER forget it.'

Email stories...truly beautiful
This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE.
My husband is an engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.
Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.
I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.
One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.
"Why?" he asked, shocked.
"I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered.
He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?
And finally he asked me: "What can I do to change your mind?"
Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.
Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?"
He said: "I will give you your answer tomorrow...."
I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....
My dear, "I would not pick that flower for you, but.... please allow me to explain the reasons further.....
This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.
"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.
You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.
You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city . I have to save my eyes to show you the way.
You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.
You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.
You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...
Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ... "
My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting...and as I continue on reading...
"Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...
I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...
That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.
Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ..
Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE
"There is some self-interest behind every friendship.
There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth."
The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
