A Message by George Carlin (a comedian)

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin

This is interesting..and it is so true..take some time to think about it, digest it..and hopefully, slow down our pace and love again.. :)

On leave!

Yeah! I'm on leave from 3rd Feb till 13th Feb...a total of 10 days!

So far I'm enjoying it, meeting up with friends, catching up with them, and making new friends during the “联谊”session on Friday evening..haha...

I even went back for choir and learn a few new songs... I thought if there is any Japanese or Spanish customers talk to me, and I don't understand them, I can start singing "Yuki ga Tokeru" or "No Importa La Distancia" to them...LOL...ok lame..

I still have a few days before I go back to work! But somehow, as a typical Singaporean, the kiasu part of me is starting to worry...or rather, dread the feeling of going back to work...I DON'T WANT MY LEAVE TO END!!!

But it's not that bad lah..cos once i arrive in Paris, I can meet my JC friend Kenneth! He is over there for an exchange programme..what a coincidence..such a faraway place and I can meet a friend just because we are both there at the same time.. Too bad I don't get to go Toronto, if not I may get a chance to meet up with Loh Wei as well..nvm lah, like what you said, meet up when you come back in May!

Haiyo..time flies lor...which is also good, this may not be a very good year, so, 快快过去！ :P

100 种生活

作詞:鍾成虎
作曲:盧廣仲

整個世界 停止 不轉動 很寂寞
走在海邊 數著 螢火蟲 好困惑
想要的生活怎麼有一百種
不想掉進這深深 漩渦

整個海洋 擺動 柔軟地 舉起我
孤獨給我 自由 猶豫得 好感動
想要的生活怎麼有一百種
該怎麼走 誰來告訴我 wow

每當我背對星空
抱著地球
發現自己其實脆弱 不敢說
當我背對星空
孤獨摸索
愛情漸漸萎縮 我猜不透
無邊的宇宙 哪裡有我要的生活

每當我背對星空
抱著地球
發現自己其實脆弱 不敢說
當我背對星空
孤獨摸索
愛情漸漸萎縮 我猜不透
無邊的宇宙 哪裡有我要的生活
原來一百分之一

I really like this song. It's a very nice song to chill with. Comfortable. :)
