[Travel] Our First Couple Roadtrip (Melbourne) – 5 Things to do prior the trip

Two weeks till our first couple roadtrip together! And the last roadtrip with my friend and her spouse was 10 years ago!  I mean we did drive to JB, Melaka and KL, but I won’t say they are “serious” roadtrips because we can drive in the comfort of our own car and the drive was… Continue reading [Travel] Our First Couple Roadtrip (Melbourne) – 5 Things to do prior the trip

[Neverland] Counting my Blessings as I wish myself Happy Birthday! 

Haha! This post really take super long to complete. It was meant to be a pre-New Year countdown post but now it has become my birthday post due to the many delays and constant edits.

[Fun] What Not to be Missed at the Artbox’s last weekends in Singapore 

It is late in the morning at 1.41am but I was eager to finish up this blog post so that you all can make an informed decision whether it is a worthwhile trip to catch ArtBox last weekends in Singapore. It was a pity ArtBox only opens on two weekends. The crowd situation was definitely… Continue reading [Fun] What Not to be Missed at the Artbox’s last weekends in Singapore

[Movie] “Logan” – The Beginnings of Gen 2 X-Men…

[Throwback] Felt really sad and emotionally disturbed after watching the movie. However sad, I do not believe the movie has “no meaning” or “not worth looking forward to”.  There is more than meets the eyes in this movie and you need to be familiar with Wolverine and Logan before you can truly appreciate the “message”… Continue reading [Movie] “Logan” – The Beginnings of Gen 2 X-Men…

[Game] 6 Reasons Why Pokemon-Go Is So Irresistible

Lately there are many negative sentiments about Pokemon Go. Many people don’t really understand what is it in the game that makes the Pokemon Gamers go Gaga. I think that it is unfair of the non-gamers to comment negatively about the gamers and their games, without the non-gamers trying out the game first.    Do not… Continue reading [Game] 6 Reasons Why Pokemon-Go Is So Irresistible

[Movie Review] 六弄咖啡馆、半句再见

    类似的青春,不一样的人生。 一样的题材,不一样的演述。 有点黑暗 (Dark)、沉重。 有点类似励志,又有点类似反面教材。 起跑点一开始就有差异的话,临时抱佛脚还是有效的。即使进不了同一所大学,可以在短时间抱佛脚抱到进大学,已经是个奇迹。 长距离的爱情真的不会有结果吗?小绿那么努力还是失败了。阿智那么搞笑地追李心怡那么多年,总算给他追到了。难道他没有小绿那么努力就追不到吗?可悲的是,原来靠努力是没法维持感情的。即使天天见面,观点上的差距却足以让你觉得在你身边的那个人,其实离你很遥远。 与你同在。   或许对单纯专一的男人来说,认定一个女人后就是永远的认定。即使不在那个女人身边,他还是希望那个女人觉得他活在她的生命里、与她精神同在。   可是这并不是她要的爱情。她希望当自己需要被关心时,自己喜欢的人可以在自己身边。她只是需要抱抱他,感受一下他的体温、他的心跳。即使他不说话也可以,因为她只是需要真实地感受他的存在。   男人有时太专注于problem solving,就会听不到自己的gut feeling。小绿一直专注地希望为她解决问题,而忽略了真正的问题。她的problem就是小绿不在自己的身边。她觉得实际地在一起才可以对抗未知数。但对小绿来说他一点都不怕未知数,因为未知的事情还没发生。这个是typical problem solver的观点。问题发生了才想怎么解决就可以了嘛!干嘛为了可能不会发生的事钻牛角尖!   爱人是一种能力,被爱是一种肯定。   她是个很自我、自私、以自己为中心的人。因为她没穷过,没失败过。她可以有远大的志愿,因为家里富裕。可是她没想过小绿的经济情况。她要的就是别人为她一直付出。她要觉得自己很重要,要小绿很努力地付出与肯定她的“价值”。可是她却没付出半点的努力,也没法站在小绿的角度来体恤他。   “你有看到我的努力吗?”   小绿妈妈过世,最需要她的时候,她只传了简讯来慰问。她是在用 “与你同在” 来打小绿多一个巴掌吗?她又为他努力过了吗? 愛情是盲目的,執著害死了他。   我觉得小绿太傻了、太执着了。他到了最后还是为她着想,还自私地要求阿智为他完成自己的遗愿。为什么他就是那么执着?没了她,还可以找别的女朋友啊。为什么不去补考、也忘了回家看妈妈。为什么不可以重新开始?他还有一个什么都可以为他做的兄弟啊!他还是很年轻的啊!他的未来还是个未知数啊! 我想我们每个人都有太执着的时候。可能不是为爱情,可能是为了工作,为了友情。我也有我过于执着的时候。我也曾经耗了10年的青春钻牛角尖。但年纪大了后,经历的事情多了,就看开多了。我学会了珍惜身边的人,珍惜我所拥有的得来不易。现在我必须学会的就是拥抱未知数,也必须相信自己可以solve all the possible problems。即使我没办法自己solve,我也要坚信我的老公会和我一起solve。 我们也有过类似的青春。 16年前,我和老公高中毕业就在一起。老实说那时的我会很担心老公当兵时,因为聚少离多我们感情会改变。但是老公很努力,我们也很幸运。他的army camp就在离国立大学(NUS) 不远,所以我们不需要当牛郎织女。但由于老公的duty时间不固定,所以我们很珍惜可以在一起的时间。后来老公上了南大(NTU),为了争取休息与温习的时间而住进了学校宿舍。那时的我毕业了,也开始勤劳地工作。我们见面的时间少了,但是一有机会我就会溜进南大宿舍陪老公温书。 她说的“一起长大”很 shallow。我觉的一起长大不应该指一起上学、一起温书,做什么都要每天在一起。一起长大是很抽象的指思想上一起长大、一起改变。 我觉得即使天天在一起,如果思想上没有一起长大,两人之间还是会有解决不了的问题。 爱情没有对错,只是立场不同。 不是每天见面就可以解决两人之间的不同。这也要看两个人愿不愿意解决彼此的问题,又或者两人的问题有没有可能解决。立场上的不同不是解决不了,而是很难解决。如果彼此都很执着或不成熟的话,那么就会一直坚持自己的立场,也会一直无心地互相伤害。   还记得我和老公的爱情得来不易。也记得老公时常会提醒我,不论我们之间有什么问题,他都会和我一起去解决。他绝不会让我一个人去承担伤痛。   “我会在这里等你回来。”   阿智似乎早已知道结局,但是他却阻止不了悲剧的发生。他们难能可贵的友情败给了爱情。你们可知道我是多么地羡慕他们之间的友情吗?我很希望有一个像阿智一样可以为我两肋插刀的朋友。   我觉得小绿很自私。到了最后还是要阿智为自己付出,帮他完成她的梦想。… Continue reading [Movie Review] 六弄咖啡馆、半句再见

Took awhile to write this review because I wanted to confirm the taste of the burger, despite the many negatives remarks on Facebook. Being someone who only believes in what I see and hear, I wanted to try the burger from at least 2 different venues before I write the review.
