天團与天迷

一群初中認識的同學 能
一起成長
一起創團
一起創作
一起創業
一起打拼事業
一起陪著彼此白手起家
一起分享酸、甜、苦、辣

就是因為知道
世上沒有
不變的東西
不變的事情
所以我非常珍惜目前的五月天
因為我想望自己也有這樣的結緣

但我知道
我今世不會有這个機會品嘗這樣的結緣

我很樂意地做个旁觀者
在一邊仰慕這種結緣

五月天是 天團
我就是他們的 天迷

Impressive Security Guard

Yesterday, I made a trip to Sim Lim Square to get a 1TB external hard drive from SGL Marketing.

It's my third visit to the shop and I still could not remember its location.

I approached the information counter and a security guard was manning it.

I asked him for the unit number of SGL. He stared into the air and recited, "SGL Marketing.... its... unit number 02-22."

I was very impressed. He didn't refer to any list/computer/log book/etc at all. He must have all the shops' location imprinted into his memory. That's a great feat.

Somehow, I can't help but believe that this uncle (the security guard) has pride in his job.

Memory | Photo prints & negatives

The picture on the left is an original print. The one on the right is a reprint.

Both photos have been kept in an album since 1999.

The year now is 2009. The reprinted photo has faded.

It's a matter of time that the original print will start to fade.

Thank goodness there's a new technology that allows us to convert our negatives into soft copies that can be burnt onto a compact disc.

I can now back up all the negatives I have.

Contentment

Time was 8.30am.

The morning sky was grey and gloomy.

The sun burst through the dull sky with a ball of bright orange.

I captured this moment.

I took a long look at it.

I heaved a sigh of contentment.

I carried on the rest of the day with a smile on my face.

Scenes of Singapore | An Eventful Death?

 
There was once a majestic tree at Cairnhill.

It was decided that the tree had to make way for progress.

For comfort.

For LUXURIOUS comfort to be enjoyed by mankind only.





Then, it was chopped down.

Soon, a new condominium of 58 units will stand where the tree once stood.



Let us reminisce and see the tree at its glory.

樹栽在那裡，根就生在那裡。
但是，在一個為了進長而毫不顧慮一切的國家，
根 可以有个長生之處嗎？

Scenes of Singapore | Riverside Point

 A memorable night out with Mei Yee, Siu Wai, Tadpole, HB, WS and Shiju at Brewerkz at Riverside Point.

A treat by HB.

Nice breezy night that turned a little chilly.

Took the shot from Reed Bridge.

Life Moves On

WHISPERS has come to a close.

Right from the start of this production, I have already anticipated its end. Thus, I don't feel any post-show blues. This anticipation is positive and healthy.

I've enjoyed the entire process of WHISPERS.

Memories of it will remain in my head.

Meanwhile, life moves on.

Occasionally, if I miss WHISPERS, I can always visit the site http://fingerplayers.com/whispers/ for some happy reading.
