Oh, how much I hate Saturday and Sunday!

Saturday and Sunday, days I’ve never liked. The days that pretends to be something it isn’t.

Ever since I can remember I have hated Saturdays and Sundays and the reasons have never changed. When I was a child at school I hated them and now that I am an adult at work, I feel just the same.

These days is famously known as the ‘days of rest’ a chance for the man of the family to finish with work for 24 hours and spend the day with family. During those times, Saturdays and Sundays would have been longed for, savored and for most people, enjoyed.

However, luckily, life is quite different now. Most of us are lucky enough to have Saturday and Sunday off from working. This, however, has changed the way we feel about them.

Saturday and Sunday for me now represents a laborious countdown to Monday. There is nothing better than the feeling you get on a Friday afternoon when you can set aside of all of the difficult tasks and think ‘ah they can wait until Monday’. It’s a great feeling to have on Friday, when Monday seems like a lifetime away (much in the same way that New Year feels impossible in December). However, come them, all of those difficult tasks start to come to the fore, and like a nagging wife, they eat away at you all through Saturday and Sunday which ruins all chance of enjoyment.

Also, if you’re like me, you’ll also feel guilty about the fact that you are not doing any work. It must be something ingrained in me from school. Saturday and Sunday was always ‘homework day’ or ‘homework putting off day’. That hasn’t changed for me. Technology has meant that I can access my work files and network at the click of a few buttons and I live in guilt on Saturday and Sunday that maybe I should be catching up on work. This coupled with the fact that these two rest days also ‘house cleaning day’ makes them 10 times worse than any Monday.

I truly believe that I shall always hate Saturdays and Sundays. For me the weekend is just Friday. Saturday and Sunday serves as days of mental torture. Saturday and Sunday, I believe, should be named the ‘days of sleep’. Close your eyes lie in a dark room and hope that you miss it!

Personal Feelings

We all wear masks, every one, every day. And sometimes we wear'em so much, we forget who we really are. And sometimes, if we're lucky, someone comes along and shows us who we really wanna be, who we should be!

Indochine - Hidden Purchase Power

The above photo are captured at an internationally renowned department store at Ha Noi during its Vietnamese Women’s’ day special discount (50% of for every hand bags and footwear item). Although most are not very well known brand, but still was swept away! This spectacle won’t see in any of this department store M’sia branch, even during the BonusLink members' day sale exclusive. From now on, who would dare say the Vietnamese poor?

有杀冇赔

有水便是溪,无水也是奚
去掉溪边水,加鸟便是鸡
得志猫儿胜过虎
落坡凤凰不如鸡

有木便是棋,无木也是其
去掉棋边木,加欠便是欺
龙游浅水遭虾戏
虎落平阳被犬欺

待有一日龙入海,定要翻江又倒海
若有一日虎归山,定要血染半边天
谁无虎落平原日,待我风云再起时,有朝一日龙得水,我让长江水倒流!

猪我生日快乐


什么人的生日会让人记得
什么人会记得他人的生日

有的人 独自一人渡过生日
有的人 与朋友狂欢一整夜
有的人 与家人吹蜡烛切蛋糕

家人会送上细致的蛋糕
朋友会送上精美的礼物
朋友传来贺词与祝福

然而
没人记得他生日的人
也能很开心的过生活

所以
生日不一定要有礼物
生日不一定要有贺词
生日不一定要有蛋糕

无论
热热闹闹的渡过生日
还是
孤孤单单的渡过生日
然而
生活里的挑战依然要面对

不想再做自己

上星期五出门上班时,往右边裤带一摸,却怎也找不到车匙,被堵在车外。我往房间和其他地方都翻遍了,但车匙就是不见踪影,忙了大半个小时,我从左边裤带掏出手机准备拨给司机求救时,却发现原来车匙就装在左边裤袋里。

这些年,我习惯了将钱包和车匙放在右边裤袋,我却不会往左边裤袋找,白白浪费时间。这是顽固的习惯所致的心理陷阱。

于是我学着改变某些习惯,把车匙改放到右后边的裤袋,把香菸换成较清淡的ESSE Menthol,把办公桌收拾收拾。然后,我减少了每天吹菸的频密次数。不再熬夜上网到凌晨,学会最迟11点左右就上床见周公。Facebook能免则免,少了它地球并不会因此而停止自转。

菸瘾改善了,不再是一天最少吹掉三大包。减少没事就找人煲电话粥的恶习,手机不再需要每晚都充电,改为每两到三天一次。为了健康也好、省钱都好,还有很多陋习都应该彻底改变。

习惯是可以改变的,只是以前我总是不愿意去改变现状,我宁可让别人认定自己就是这种懒人。我上同样的餐馆、吃同样的食物、只用Lux的沐浴露、只用Biotherm的skin care产品、只用Toshiba的laptop、只穿Ralph Lauren的polo shirt、只吹薄荷口味的菸等,其实这一切并不代表我真心喜欢这些东西,说到尾这全都只不过是一种习惯。

前女友曾说,认识我这么久,她知道我爱吃什么,知道我什么时候想要做些什么,可她从不知道我心里在想着什么,就如我从来不知道她的内心世界是寂寞的。

其实,没有人可以彻底去了解另一个人,人只能够知道另一个人的习惯,而不是了解他/她的内心世界。当我把跟了我三十几年的习惯都改变了,你就会发觉,你从来不曾认识这个人。

而我选择让自己变得不再是自己,是为了不再想念她。

无奈

力拔山兮

气盖世

时不利兮

骓不逝

骓不逝兮

可奈何

虞兮虞兮

奈若何

潇洒的背后往往隐藏着无奈!
