It's K Time
Singing is a good way to de stress....miss all my friends that can K with me in SG.
Love this song, great rhythm and lyrics...something I can relate too.
Below are the lyrics to sing along. Here we go...
作詞：劉若英
作曲：黃晟峰
我傻傻大步的走 也知道不必難過
生命旅程中 總有人逗留
也會有人像你急著想溜
不去想昨天的夢
我決定今天好好的過
分開各自走 你可以享受自由
你的未來想怎樣別來問我
從今後想做什麼就做什麼一個人過
你不必回頭問我 假裝溫柔 不知所措
有一天相信 你會懷念 那個傻傻的我
淋著大雨等在你路口
忘了吧 曾經我們手牽著手說著以後
算了吧 你的承諾對我來說就像氣球
等那天你才真的看透我們認真愛過
但這些又算得了什麼 還是朋友
不去想昨天的夢
我決定今天好好的過
分開各自走 你可以享受自由
你的未來想怎樣別來問我

從今後想做什麼就做什麼一個人過
你不必回頭問我假裝溫柔 不知所措
有一天相信你會懷念 那個傻傻的我
淋著大雨等在你路口
忘了吧 曾經我們手牽著手說著以後
算了吧 你的承諾對我來說就像氣球
等那天你才真的看透我們認真愛過
但這些又算得了什麼 還是朋友
雖然有時氣你 下一刻又想通
你不必擔心我
不爭氣的淚水就讓它流
做朋友也許幸福得多
從今後想做什麼就做什麼一個人過
你不必回頭問我假裝溫柔 不知所措
有一天相信你會懷念 那個傻傻的我
淋著大雨等在你路口
忘了吧 曾經我們手牽著手說著以後
算了吧 你的承諾對我來說就像氣球
等那天你才真的感到我們認真愛過
但這些又算得了什麼 還是朋友

休息是為了走更長的路
休息是為了走更長的路...this is why I need a holiday every once in awhile
你就是我的旅途...Yes, I want to witness God's creation in every journey
都是因為你 我一直漫步...do not forget the flowers along the way
想要跟你一起走到最後 但我遺失了地圖 誰給誰束縛 誰比誰辛苦 愛到深處才會領悟 好的事情 最後雖然結束 感動十分 就有十分滿足 謝謝你 是你陪我走過那些路 痛 是以後無法再給你幸福 好的事情 也許能夠重複 感動時分 就算紛紛模糊 不要哭 至少你和我記得很清楚 愛 是為彼此祝福
不要哭 至少你和我記得很清楚 愛 是為彼此祝福
To all my friends from the past,present and future...
Maybe we will lost each other along the way but I have to Thank you for being there along the way, making this life journey wonderful and unforgettable.
Be course of your presence, I am able to live as I am Today!
Thanks for your love and care... 愛 是為彼此祝福

Recent findings about myself
Recently I have some surprising findings about myself:
1) I actually care about my home country....Singapore. I never thought much of my country and have no personal pride or even try to defend much when some people I met will criticize on my home country. But the recent event and happening to GE keep me stay up all night to catch the news. This really caught myself in surprise....
2) I am a lone traveler always in these recent years and I thought I will miss companionship....recently went for a short trip with my co-workers...this make me realize that I rather travel alone then stuck in a car or somewhere if the company is not right. Oh...and I prefer to travel with my guy gangs than gal gangs. They are more true and will display their likes and dislikes from their face...I really dislike pretenders and tired of their games. Maybe I am better off alone....hmmm.
3) Language barrier do make a difference. I ever thought of having a partner of different races but from the recent trip, I realize that I feel out of place when I am unable to communicate or understand in a conversation. This really gives me second thoughts about going into a relation with someone that I could have language barrier.
4) I totally cannot click with bimbos or people who only wants to look good and self-centered. All topics always revolve about them and no one else. They are really good with the big talks about caring for the less fortune but action speaks louder than words.
Oh no....am I getting older and crankier....

This is classic...hv to save it on my blog.
Which maid to choose?
by Ming Lee Lim on Monday, April 25, 2011 at 5:16pm
I need your urgent advice about employing a maid. As a busy mother, I need someone reliable to help out at home.
My maid is from Profits Agency Pte (PAP) and she has worked for me for a long time. Her mother worked for my parents and did an excellent job, so I had faith in her. For several years her performance has been very good, but recently she has become arrogant and insensitive, and is making lots of mistakes.
For example:
1) She flooded my kitchen – she told me that the drain pipe has blocked (she was supposed to clear it once a month but didn’t). Then she assured me that it is very rare and won’t happen again in the near future. Guess what? It flooded again within a year!
2) She didn’t close a window and my terrier dog escaped. I was so worried cos he is dangerous and could bite lots of people. After the incident, she didn’t apologise and just shrugged her shoulders saying “What to do, it has happened.” Fortunately my neighbor found the dog and we locked it up again.
3) Without consulting me, she has been bringing in strangers for my house's maintenance work. She says they charge low wages and keep costs down, but they eat my food, make a lot of noise and rest on my bed. I think they even tried to seduce my husband. It stopped feeling like my home, more like a cheap hotel, and I don’t always want to come back at the end of the day.
4) When she first came to work for me, I instructed her to clean the different parts of the house at least once a week. But for some time she has stopped taking care of the bedrooms of PP and H; they are now dirty and messy. I asked why and she told me that the kids had been disobedient, so she was neglecting their bedrooms as a punishment (she has forgotten that she is paid to clean all the rooms).
Even though my maid has worked for me for many years and I value what she has done in the past, I think she is now getting complacent. Her attitude is imperious and dismissive. She ignores my comments and basically treats my feedback as "noise". I wrote to the agency about her behavior; they assured me that they are the best agency around and all their maids are “Commited to Serve” – but I think it is just rhetoric and I don’t see that in her actions. Her salary is much higher than maids in other countries, but the agency say this is to keep her honest and stop her moving to another employer. They say there is a limited supply of maids, and Singapore isn’t big enough for more than one good maid agency, so I should not trust their competitors.
I have to decide whether to renew my maid’s 5-year employment contract. When we discussed this she said that she is now part of a team, and if I want her I must also accept her friends doing part-time work for me. One friend is very inexperienced, can't do basic tasks or explain what she intends to do. I suspect that she is actually underage. When interviewed, she only seemed interested in her days-off and visiting Universal Studios. When she couldn't answer my questions she stomped her foot and exclaimed, "I don't know what to say!" But I am still expected to pay her a high salary.
Now there happen to be a few other maid agencies - Workhard Pte (WP), New Solutions Pte (NSP), Super Personnel Pte (SPP) and Star Domestica Pte (SDP) - that offered me some helpers who seem sincere, genuine and intelligent. They are keen to work, willing to assist me and have a good attitude. I know that they may take a bit of time to learn how everything works, but frankly I am inclined to give them a chance.
People say that the devil you know is better than one you don’t. But I feel that I can’t tahan my current maid anymore. Do you think I should sack my current maid and try out a new one? Appreciate your advice.

2010 Japan After Thoughts part 2 - Lost & Found!
"Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him, the saving help of my countenance, and my God."Psalms 42 verse 11
This trip to Japan is to find the peace that I have lost and be a witness to God's creation...
"My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?" Psalms 42 verse 2
Just like this picture, God have created for me at this moment. The angle, the weather, the light, nothing can replace it as it is one and only.
I found the greatest joy when taking pictures of God's creation...able to take down that moment that God has given me and share it with others.
"Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime. In the night his song shall be with me: a prayer to the God of my life." Psalms 42 verse 8
May my Faith be like the mustard seed and increasing every day I pray...
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches." Matthew 13 verse 31 to 32.
This trip is fruitful for both the body and soul for I have seek and found God's Wonder.

2010 Japan After Thoughts part 1
I was so looking forward to this break as I am mentally tired with work and it is a good sabbath break. A time to get heal by God's creation...
Before the trip, I did some planning with the train schedule and places I will visit but with the thought that I should take it slow and put my trust in my God as the journey unfolds.
My first day in Japan was a little gathering with my friends in Japan, have a wonderful and tiring day, doing shopping, catching up @ lunch, get a hair cut, dinner with free flow of shabu pork and a night visit to Roppongi-Hill to see the night view of Tokyo Tower and Museum. It was a wonderful deferred birthday celebration for myself.
Woke up early at 430am for my 2nd day as I begin my journey to Yamagata but I miss my train by 2 mins to Tokyo which departs at 0531am and thus unable to connect to my Shinkansen for Yamagata at 0612am. My first reaction was to take taxi to Tokyo but it was a stupid thought. After calming down, I tell myself again that this is trip to relax and with a quick prayer, I took the next trip to Tokyo station.
@Tokyo, I manage to find the next Shinkansen leaving at 0716am which will bring me to Shinjo at 1054am. Although I could not get to Yamagata but this is the transfer point for my day trip to Furukuchi.
The weather was great at Furukuchi for the river ride but the leaves are still green... I am too early for Autumn.
Dark clouds was moving in when i was about to leave Furukuchi and manage to catch this photo as my train speed off to Yamagata where I will stay for the night.
It was the perfect picture to end the day as I could feel God's presence strongly and always be reminded that although the days seem dark but light will shine through. Nothing can be hidden from Him...help will come no matter how bad it may seems....
AMAZING GRACE how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour i first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
