在看smap的professional的节目，
小孩子问了一个问题，说smap里谁是最年轻的，
他猜某拓是最年轻的，大概21岁。nakai…… 40岁！
笑死我了~
突然……好想念我日本的学生哦～～～
现在的生活一直笼罩在负面思想里，
对自己未来一点憧憬都没有的日子真的快过不下去了。

competitiveness
I don't know if it's just me, but it feels like the world around me now is hihgly competitive. For some reason, people want to prove that they are better than others, in terms of skills, knowledge or other unsubstantial issues. To constantly feel compared or stupid is not nice at all.... and I really don't like myself for always wanna stay above the tide. The competitiveness inside me doesn't allow me to fail... but really, what does being no. 1 mean?

the relatives
How thick exactly is blood? Some times, some people assume you HAVE TO help them because you are related by blood. Even though your personal beliefs and values are miles apart and if unrelated by blood, we would never be friends. Then there are people who will assume you need help or that you are the weaker side. Along with these, comes pity and even despise. I totally understand when sis says she feels that it's necessary to stand on her own. Taking a favor will mean owing someone forever. And favors are harder to repay than monetary items.
I know most in the world will say that family ties is a precious being and one should learn to cherish it. My personal experience however taught me that most of the time, they are a burden. The only difference is whether you decide to soak it up or not.

正确的人生观
与其说是正确的，不如说是正面的。
今天不批评别人，先反省自己。
我承认我是一个相当悲观的人，
对人，事，物，其实都会以最坏为标准。
这样的人生观，
其实对自己也好，对他人也好，
都是不利的。
负面的情绪是会传染的。
正面的情绪也会……
所以，
做人开心点，
对人宽恕点，
对自己有自信点。
把正面的能量传播出去吧！

坚强
看着任爸爸的辛苦，勇气与坚强……
突然觉得自己不努力生活，努力呼吸，努力爱身边的人，事，物，
太奢侈了。太……不应该了。
一觉起来后，我希望自己不要忘了现在的念头，
而是把任爸爸的勇气与坚强学起来。

about life
I need to learn to be more happy about the world around me. Learn to be more appreciative and less critical about people and things happening around me. The world is still beautiful afterall...

MCP
The male ego needs to be deflated or be kicked in the ass. It's the 21st century and males should and MUST realise that the opposite sex is not the lower gender. We rule half and world and the fact that we are not driven by both testosterone and adrenaline rushes, we are actually capable of making sound and rational decisions on our own. ROARRRRRRRRR

最值得拥有的特质
我相信每一个人心中都有一个很想拥有的“特质”。
有的人希望自己聪明伶俐，一点就通，过目不忘，
有的人希望自己社交手法高明，朋友兄弟姐妹满天下，
有的人希望自己天生丽质，不管吃多少垃圾都不胖，
外表出众，永远能在人群中显得出色。
在成长的过程中，我有过很多人生目标。
想成为一个忠诚于自己的人，
可能有点叛逆，有点自我，
但是觉得能忠诚于自己是很难得的。
想成为一个勇气过人的人，
在旁边的人都一一投降的情况之下还是不畏艰难，勇往直前。
其实更多时候，是想成为一个完美的人，
不什么好的特质都想要有。
但是说到底，其实这样只显出自己的贪心。
事无完事，人无完人，
哪有可能什么都是最好的呢？
或者说，到底什么才是最好的人？
最近喜欢萧敬腾，
其实他是个脑袋瓜子不是特别好的小孩子，
很多想法却没办法表达自己，
很多感情却不知道怎么抒发。
但是，他对自己很坦白，
他知道自己有很多不足，
所以他愿意学习，愿意向比自己有能力的人学习。
更重要的，
其实是他很善良。
不管对谁，他永远是谦虚，有礼的。
对应该做的事情，
他永远会尽自己的全力，做得最好，
他不会因为自己是大明星而开始摆架子。
比如：他知道每个晚上很多人都在fb和wb等他，
因此，他风雨不改都会上网跟大家说晚安。
虽然他因为学习不多，很不会表达自己，
但是记者问他问题，就算自己不善言辞，
他也会很努力地尽量多说一点，
希望不要让他们写稿的时候没东西写。
因为这个孩子对人很善良，
敬腾得到了身边的工作人员，
采访的记者们，
还有自己的Fans们的喜爱和无条件的支持。
不是说善良是个很好的武器，
但是萧敬腾的善良的确因此给他的生活制造了很多机会和快乐。
其实……这孩子因为善良而得到的利益，他自己可能也不知道。
他只觉得他很幸运，因为身边的人都对他很好。
这是很难能可贵的。
因为萧敬腾就是这样，单纯，善良。
所以……人……也许真的单纯，善良就够了吧。

playing the game
It baffles me why we have to play the game of bitching and gossiping (some call it office politics) at our age. I do unfortunately know that most work places are filled with it and I too am guilty of it. We do have to keep in mind all the time though, that words can hurt more than blades. It's worth being more caution about what we speak, who do we speak to and how do we talk about it. There's a reason why people say speech is a form of art.

Criticism
In Asia, I often feel that we are to a great extend Enosiophobic or Enissophobic (Fear of having committed an unpardonable sin or of criticism).
Whenever I voice my views on how something is not good, some one will definitely come to me and say: let's be nicer to people, they have their reasons for doing so, we don't have to criticise them, we don't understand their situation. More than often, while the act or situation is "understandable", it is well... just not RIGHT. There's still a problem that exist in the situation. However, because it's understandable, the situation should be tolerated and one should not criticise about it.
When we're young, we're told, often by adults, to never criticise other people, because it's not a nice thing to do, or because it upsets the "peace" that exist. However, in school, we're also asked to do "critiques". In critiques, we well... criticise. Of course not without basis, but with logic and facts. The skill of doing a good critique, is to look at the situation from an objective point of view and to make a fair and honest evaluation of it. Your personal values and beliefs will definitely shape how your critique ends up. It really doesn't matter which side you take in a critique, or whether you take sides at all... it's about putting the topic up there and making a good discussion about it so that everyone involved can have a good clear overview of all points of view to make their own decisions.
Criticism against ourselves can be perceived in two ways. The ideal situation will is for us to take it as a good suggestion and make necessary changes. Sometimes, things take a turn and people get upset about being criticised. To think about it... criticism can also be made in two ways. One is to only criticise without true basis with the intentions to hurt. The other, is to criticise because you care and hope that changes can be made. And well... both ways of criticism can be percieved both ways! At the end of the day... it's how we look at it.
But ok... let's now look at the importance of criticism. I personally am a believer that good criticism is benefitial. The Asian classroom is often a one way delivery system where the teacher teaches and the students sit at their seats and take up all they hear like a sponge. One fine day, the teacher decides he needs to hear what the student thinks and asks: any comments? The silence that follows is often deafening. So, are the students too afraid to say something? Well... maybe not... they just have not thought about it enough to say anything, let alone criticise. To criticise is a skill. You need to be trained to do it: to be able to take in a situation, analyse it, process it with your own knowledge and beliefs, then make a decision on whether you like it or not and most importantly, know why you made that decision to voice it out as a criticism. It's a really complex process! AND... the Asian society discourage it! Why? Because we don't want to disturb the "peace".
Indeed, voicing out criticism will lead to people reacting both ways. Hence, it's almost unavoidable that the peace is disturbed. But honestly, who says that's a bad thing? Why should we put total trust and obedience to superiors for example? Why can't we question? I believe that to human being's ability to question and challenge is the key to progress. So if we all refrain from criticism to maintain peace... nothing is going to get anywhere.
Yet another observation... When I was in Japan... people are often just too worried to voice their views to disturb the "peace". So... can tolerance get them anywhere? Actually... it doesn't. They just bottle it up and make their unhappiness grow. Then they go to a dinner party with some close friends, drink a lot, and voice it all out! Without confronting the source of the problem. The next day, the go backto work with a hang over and well... face the same problems that they just got drunk over the night before all over again.
So... what do YOU think?

开心就好
是不是随着年龄的增长，
人就会越来越没志气呢？
小时候拥有过的伟大梦想，
在长大后慢慢变成一段有趣的回忆。
是因为越来越认识事实的残酷，
所以决定放弃呢？
还是发现其实简单的幸福才是自己真正需要的？
冬天里的那杯热可可，
艳阳下的那杯冰水，
伤心时的那个拥抱，
生日时朋友捎来的那封短信，那句祝福。
看起来都是微不足道的小东西，
可是对于毫无雄心壮志的我，
却是比得到全世界都还要幸福的事情。

小罗罗的生存空间
只能在夹缝中生存的日子还要多久呢？
有点快撑不住了的感觉。
每天睡觉都希望起来的时候，
现在的一切都只是一场很长的噩梦。
当醒来后发现一些都还没改变，
就继续逃避，
希望明天醒来的时候一切果然是一场噩梦。
有时候觉得人生不要那么执著，
其实很多所谓的烦恼就会消失。
有记者问敬腾：你的烦恼是什么？
敬腾停顿了3秒，然后说：我要好好地想一想。
记者说敬腾觉得可以解决的都不是烦恼。
不可以解决的，烦恼了也没用。
所以，他没有烦恼。
这样豁达的想法，由一个23岁的小子说了出来。
也许真的不用想太多，尽力做就好了。
唉

病了
是我们生病了，还是这个世界变了样？
在忙忙碌碌的生活中，大家追求的是什么？
是名，还是利？
也许，只是简单的，却又不怎么简单的：更好的生活吧……
其实大家都知道很多东西都不是我们需要的。
但是潜意识里我们又不免去追求这些。
随着日子一天一天过去，
忙碌了一辈子，
到头来却发现自己其实一直在扑空。
这时候人们又懊恼，又不开心。
但是双脚已经走得太远，
已经不知道要怎么回头了。
或者说，回头了，也不知道要怎么生活。
因为现在这路，带有幻想，带有理想，带有梦想。
当一切归零，人们就彷徨了。
要重新一步一脚印的，很真实的，很朴实的生活，
其实说起来比做起来容易得多了。
明知道不对的路，人们却因为它富丽堂皇，
因为它光鲜亮丽，
而成群成堆的往这方向走。
到头来，又有多少人发现这一切只是海市蜃楼呢？

跟上同年龄的人的脚步
不知不觉地已经离“小孩子”的阶段越来越远了。
身边的朋友已经有了稳定的工作，
稳定的伴侣，
有的要结婚了，
有的已经结婚了。
最近听到一个朋友去参加了联谊活动。
原因是因为她妈妈觉得她“长相比较吃亏”，
应该积极点找个好的归宿。
跟自己的妈妈说了这个情况，
妈妈说：“还那么年轻，为什么要这么做”。
很庆幸自己没有被“催婚”的压力，
但是身边的一切也悄悄地在我心中拉起了警报。
成长，成家，立业……
这些都好像是人生一定要经过的里程碑，
可是我好像……一个都没达到。
今年都25了，
还在读书，
还在懵懂，
还在寻找自己想要的，
心……还在渴望飞翔。
有的朋友很羡慕我的自由，
有的朋友说老了一个人会很可怜。
怎么说呢……
心里头某种不安分子不愿意庸庸碌碌地度过人生。
跌跌撞撞也好，
和世界背道而行也好，
想要走出自己的路。
想要以后没有遗憾。
当然，得到了就要有失去。
失去所谓的“平凡的幸福”。
这些所谓的平凡的幸福，
我也渴望的……
但是人可能真的不能太贪心吧~

不屑
也许是我自命不凡吧，
对过于勉强的东西和没有付出就得到的东西，
我向来都带着不屑的态度。
友谊就是这样，合得来就来，合不来真的不用勉强。
我很少会主动去联系人，
但是我真的很在乎的朋友，
我都会尽量时不时地送上一点关心。
因为我不喜欢无事不登三宝殿的感觉，
我想以纯粹的关心去和朋友来往。
我也很少为了社交去主动认识人。
因为我不喜欢以利益为基础去和人交朋友。
同理而论，
我也不喜欢向朋友要求任何好处。
自己能做到的哪里就哪里，
我不要用关系得到的好处。
这是我小小的原则，
也是我小小的坚持。
当然，在社会上工作，
社交是在所难免的。
做人怎么那么辛苦呢~ 唉……

Life
Who says fangirling is a waste of time? I think my idols make me a better person.
From Chun:
Life tip 1)
first, life is worthwhile if you learn.
What you don't know will hurt you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed.
Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experiences, negative and positive.
We learn to do it right by first sometimes doing it wrong.
We call that a positive negative.
We also learn from other people's experiences, both positive and negative.
I've always said it is too bad failures don't give seminars.
We don't want to pay them so they don't tour around giving seminars.
But the information would be very valuable – how someone who had it all, messed it up.
Learning from other people's experiences and mistakes.
We learn by what we see - pay attention.
By what we hear – be a good listener.
Now i do suggest being a selective listener, don't just let anybody dump into your mental factory.
We learn from what we read.
Learn from every source.
Learn from lectures, learn from songs, learn from sermons, learn from conversations with people who care.
Keep learning.
life tip 2)
life is worthwhile if you try.
You can't just learn; you now have to try something to see if you can do it.
Try to make a difference, try to make some progress, try to learn a new skill, try to learn a new sport.
Life is worthwhile if you try.
It doesn't mean you can do everything but there are a lot of things you can do, if you just try.
Try your best.
Give it every effort.
Why not go all out?
life tip 3)
life is worthwhile if you stay.
You have to stay from spring until harvest.
If you have signed up for the day or for the game or for the project - see it through.
Sometimes calamity comes and then it is worth wrapping it up.
And that's the end, but just don't end in the middle.
Maybe on the next project you pass, but on this one, if you signed up, see it through.
life tip 4)
life is worthwhile if you care.
If you care at all you will get some results, if you care enough you can get incredible results.
Care enough to make a difference.
Care enough to turn somebody around.
Care enough to start a new enterprise.
Care enough to change it all.
Care enough to be the highest producer.
Care enough to set some records.
Care enough to win.

I was trying to get ticket's for Fahrenheit's Music Showcase online yesterday and found a particular seller who offered a pair of tickets. We came to terms and arranged to meet on Monday to complete the transaction.
Later in the day, he texted me his account number to say that I can send him the money through ATM funds transfer beforehand if I feel comfortable with it (since I offered doing that earlier through the phone to make sure he reserves the tickets for me. He said it's ok then.). Of course, I will prefer to hand the money to him in person and get the tickets on the spot, hence, I asked him to trust me with my words and I will give him the money when I meet him on Monday. Earlier this afternoon, again, he texted me to say that he hopes I honor my words as he just turned down another offer.
I guess it's difficult to trust people especially when you have not met that person. What I can do is to reassure him that I will honor my commitment. I too, am worried that he may take my money and flee yeah? At least for now, what he stands to lose is a potential buyer for tickets he got for free (the tickets were given to people who bought Sony Ecrisson phones from M1).
This brings us to the question of trust. In most life situations, you either choose to trust and risk being disappointed, or distrust and make life difficult for yourself. I will usually choose to trust people unless proven otherwise. Afterall, even our closest people may betray us. So what about taking a gamble and learn to trust? We MAY just hit the jackpot and meet very reliable people. ^^
