无良

把毒掺入食物售出
以图从中谋利
官府得知
为保饭碗
为保面子
不负责任
掩盖实情
无良
祝他们身体每个器官都结石哦!

眼看两机向着相撞方向飞行
还降到同等高度
被提醒后仍不作出任何防撞措施
却立刻将责任扔了过来
只顾自保屁股
不顾百人性命安危
无良
祝他下回乘机时没那么好运噢!

无良-- 处处皆是
尤其世界上两大人口最多的民族

i'm gonna miss them all....

i fell in love with it when i first visited China more than a decade ago. Freshly prepared each day, served in a glass bottle, available from the ubiquitous pushcartts that sold beverages around the country.You finish it in one gulp or maybe two and then return the bottle to the hawker on the spot. It's got a rich milk taste, a little sweet and just rightly sour and cost only 1 yuan (20cts) per bottle then.

As the years passed, the cost increased to 2 yuan which was still very cheap. i would without fail gulp down a bottle whenever i spot it on sale each time i visited China. In the recent years after the massive economic expansion in China, the glass bottle was phased out by plastic cups when the big guys took over the business of manufacturing it and so i have to make do with the not so freshly prepared product.

Still, i would make it a point to take a cup each day to aid my digestive system whislt travelling there. I had trusted the the big brands like the Y and the M brands and i was glad when i found their products on sale back here too.

So, when the news broke out that these two brands too are part of those contaminated with melamine, i was really sad.
Sad that i would be missing my daily yoghurt and milk intake during my coming trip to China,
sad that this food scare has spread to all my other favourite brands of choc bars, biscuits, ice cream available here for so long...
sad that there is almost nothing one can trust to be safe for consumption anymore,
sad that greed or is it the unequal distribution of wealth or corruption or desperation has driven humans to harm other humans including babies in such ways.

This world,as XK says is moving towards self destruction by its own doing

Kudos to WOS

Needed a breather
left flat aimlessly
ended up in the MRT
located downstairs,so conveniently
was transported to Plaza Sing
within 15mins

wandered about, again aimless
and
ended up in WOS

might as well
take a look at the long coveted Saloman
'try the size out and check the model'- was my sole intention (pun intended)
'then order thru the internet, which surely would be cheaper'

it's half an hour to closing
didn't expect to be served
to my pleasant surprise came a young, 'kawai-i' girl
who's not only cheerful, enthusiastic and attentive
but patient and very informative

took out at least 5 new pairs for me to try
so i casually took my time, not the least bit shy
'kawaii' enthusiastically explained the diff between each model,
the types of material and purpose
even suggested i take the cheaper Columbia
which indeed fitted better

shamelessly after trying out each pair
i said
"i'll come back again should i decide on the model and brand"
Not a sign of annoyance on her smiley and attentive face
but rather a satisfied expression
as if having just shared her joy about the shoes with a friend

this day was worthwhile
just for the sunshine
she beamed unto me
dispersing my mood
initially stormy and vile

once home, i've checked out the shoes on the web
She may not be all accurate abt the specs
but
she's certainly far from the 'i dunno leh' salegirls
ubiquitous here

The shoes are indeed cheaper
if ordered thru the web
but
i may just return
to buy the pair from her

After all,
good service providers are almost extinct here
and
she's about only the 2nd person i've encountered this year
that i would rate 'Good'

Check out the store, look out for Joanne....'kawaii ne!'

moved.finally.真不是普通的累

pek-chek-ly shifted

teruk-ly shagged out

gek-sim-ly settling in

Relocating..IS a tiresome affair

Relocating with the forgetful stubborn aged and cut throat town council contractors is a triply trying affair

Beginning to wonder....if wiping out the hard earned CPF in exchange for this tiresome affair and
the more trying life later wasn't altogether a foolish move? (pun intended)

i'm actually imprisoning myself longer in the cage where i had tried all my life to run away from...

带着心就可以了

"....有很多这样的人,他们给自己设定了目标线路,尽量囊括最佳时间的最佳景点,并抱以热切的期待,希望看到雪山,希望看到最丰富的色彩。。。口口声声是驴友/背包客,就是要取得最佳的性价比----最经济省钱又最饱眼福。这本无可厚非,但凡事有度,过于强求也就没意思了。事实上很多事情是由不得自己的,一旦你上了路,会发现自己不能决定的很多。你可以去谈价格选旅店,但很多是你不能选择的。想对一个地方了解是需要更多的时间和热情的,而更重要的也许是路上的人和事。因此一旦你上了路,就让那该发生的去发生吧,带着心就可以了。"

this is an extract from a comment to my post in a forum. A few simple but heavily impacting sentences.
Truly,
one can 'control' or choose certain things while on a trip but there are many things we can't control or choose such as weather and natural disasters.
Life too, is a long distance trip, we may have plans and choices but things that are beyond our wildest dreams or control do happen. What's most important may not be the goals we've set but rather the people we've encountered along the way, the experiences that we've had had, the memories that we've shared....
Like the author of the comment mentioned, "whatever that ought to happen, let it be, only bring our hearts with us, wherever we may be..."
