Hehehehe xiao proud after yesterday woohoo Reported early and roamed around the stadium area - went to the toilet but couldn’t get anything out so I got abit worried  After downing the last bit of water from pama, off I went to the start pen and commenced the run with the second wave of runners 💪  The start was much slower than I expected as we were running w a huge group of people  As it reaches the end of the Nicoll highway  uturn ard 2-3km, we started having more space and continued on our own speed  Into this open tunnel and the Kallang reservoir stretch, f1 pit, Esplanade drive w a turn at WDA, Marina Bay Sands, barrage, Golf course, ecp garden linkway, back to my usual and lovely house area, and back to sportshub  Got to say it didn’t feel as intimidating as I envisioned it  And the hydration points really helped a lot cause it really refreshes you to go on to the next bit  Along the way I even considered is it that short...

李荣浩 🙌

Woohoo hahahah I love concerts Gives me a great time of focusing and truly listening / appreciating the lyrics of every song Not to mention listening to the singer live is 😍😍😍 Came to know of 李榮浩 because of 偶練 那個嚴苛但很有父愛的李老師~ And the best takeaway would be hearing his 戒煙 with the trainees (+ 耳朵 with wangjiayi woots)  And yesterday was amazing with many 寶藏 lyrics found from the songs he sang (有的很戳我!!) 不要觉得你不够无价 越纯洁越是一种强大 · 也许你会犯所有人都犯的错 也许你会为一些人受些折磨 也许你遭遇一万五千种可能 人生就是人生 —《少年》 有时候被俗人批判 很难接受 有时候朋友背后说 我像小丑 假装路过 一笑而过 · 昨天留下的一滩 泪和汗 造就现在的我 越倔强越勇敢 —《成长之重量》 忘不掉的是什么我也不知道 想起当年模样 看也看不到 去也去不了的地方 也许那老街的腔调是属于我的忧伤 嘴角那点微笑越来越勉强 —《老街》 太多理所应当让人觉得平常 不算太小的房 冬暖夏凉的那间房着我的床 歌颂这种平凡 一两句唱不完 恩重如山 听起来不自然 回头去看  这是说了谢谢反而才亏欠的情感 —《爸爸妈妈》 Along with this song hehe here’s a note   Dad bought me a pair of new balance 880 that I’ve been aiming for a long time (at 30% off yassss) after we did a longer run in the aftn (6.97...
Nearly forgot about it I completed a run on Monday  Meaningful because it’s a run that dad and I could only dreamed of in the past  From the house to the gardens, to the city, to the highway, and back to the house  12.34km (interesting number there hehe) Even though it’s still way way way more to go for 21 and I really couldn’t continue much But I’m so so glad and proud of how much I’ve come since I first decided to run and push myself forward  真的  每一分努力 每一次決定 都可以帶來長遠的變化和進步 但無論如何 成果值得讓你高興 但最重要的是不能忘記 過程最重要 
Super packed weekend so thank goodness ya scripting day on Monday instead of meetings phew Met gen and Jon and fri night and found out that others thought we were living in a (happy) bubble that’s vastly different from them lol  But super glad I had gen with me in that truthfully very different world that I was in hehe And happy to still have her and Jon (that I only reconnected this year) in my post-biz life hahah  Had a half hour swim of 25 short laps in the morning w momma  Then watched joker after having a salty ramen for lunch lol And met LY, kim and Kim’s fiancée (eggcites for their wedding!!) at jewel for dinner at shake shack where LY and I failed to get any seats hahah   Can’t wait for kimcham’s wedding in a month’s time!!!  Speaking of which  Another dear dear friend is overseas now and will be engaged when she’s back  MEGAEGGCITES AND 激動 I realise I’m def gonna cry of 感動 at her wedding hahahah  Meeting Simi...

公公 又徹夜陪伴你了 只是這次的地點不一樣 身邊也有爸爸媽媽陪伴 謝謝你 身體力行地為我們做了「堅韌」「善良」「逆轉勝」「為別人著想」的模範 謝謝你 讓我成為你的幾分之幾 並成為我人生中的幾分之幾 謝謝你 養育了這麼多善良的孩子 用愛感染大家的姑姑們 以及我這堅忍不拔的傻瓜爸爸 你和阿嬤養育了他們,並養育了這一群不願苟且去附和社會現實的孫子孫女們 我知道你們一定做對了什麼 我也知道擁有你們是我們這生命中最幸福的選擇 百善孝為先 這是我從爸爸身上學到的 我答應 我會學習更加孝順你們的寶貝兒子 像他一樣愛你們地愛他 保護他  請你們放心 僅剩三天 我開始真的害怕永遠失去你的那一天了 公公  愛你 // 話說 今天見了muni一下下 談了一點點 居然提起爺爺時落下今天第一滴淚 同時也把她這個empath弄哭了 前幾天事情發生時 她居然也感受到我不對勁 我們的頻率真的太奇妙地相似
愛你 不用回答 你是我的爺爺 是我一聲又一聲喚的「公公」 你是我們的榜樣 是我們的驕傲 愛你 好愛你 // 半夢半醒間 看到爸爸眼眶泛紅、哽咽地說 「公公走了」 我著實地嚇了一跳 星期天不是還好好的嗎 久違地那麼精神 十點多了還沒有睡意 從沒想到 那是您最後的告別 怎麼辦 我好想念那超級宏亮的「BYEBYE」 想念你因為我一直嘮叨而煩躁地說「zai la」 想念你和我一起坐在車後座遊車河 懵懵地聽著我那半桶水的福建話 想念你扶著欄杆一步一腳印地從客廳走進房間 之前還會停在阿嬤房外偷看她的狀況 關心你守護了半輩子的女人 想念你好多好多體貼溫柔善良可愛的片刻 你居然完美的無可挑剔 慶幸爸爸星期三剛陪了你一天 只希望 爸爸這一次真的無需後悔  留在心間的 都是您美好的回憶  愛你 我們等你
LEAVE DAY ME-DAY TODAY HEHE Intended to spend it at home the whole day to chill slack read watch shows clean up desk etc - basically anything but work  But I only managed to finish some pages of 與惡 script book haha  Also, dad jio-ed me and mom out to watch the birthday movie - which left me in tears several times especially the birthday party - but was too indie for their liking haha  失去不一定要以悲傷對待 歡樂 微笑 或許是紀念他們更美好的方式 It’s been a long time since I watched a movie w them - and I selfishly finished the nachos w mom and left none for dad lol 🙈 Not sure why but I certainly felt happy and had fun even though i didn’t intend to leave home in the first place  So happy that I bough 3 r&b so that it’s one cup each but ended up spending 12$ lol  In any case  Time spent with the family is time well spent 💓

So what happened for this year's birthday was it was spent entirely with the external family haha first things first, saturday was spent with w pama on getting the sushi birthday deal haha but we exceeded my 26 count so the bill went up to $40 oh wells then on 19th itself the morning was spent sending cousin off for her customary marriage and tea ceremony we subsequently went over to maternal grandma side for the usual vesak event this time, however, without attending the bazaar cause grandma doesnt wanna go (possibly due to wheelchair?) then we went back to change to attend cousin's solemnization and wedding dinner for friends at night at a modern restaurant where we helped as reception good food and new ambience - quite a good experience :)  but all the people and social events made me so tired after that i just wanna go home and rest but mama - prob scarred from my sec2 blackface cause no cake experience hahah - was insistent on getting me a cake but ...
做自己人生中的主角 那就夠了 那天聽到一個節目上的嘉賓說: 多數女孩的第一份安全感都來自父親 而且這份安全感是一輩子都不會變的 所以女孩們,不要從其他男人身上找尋安全感  老公只要帶給你快樂就夠了 謝謝papa 你的這份安全感超足夠~❤️

2019台灣環島行

Image
這趟旅程因《一定要相信自己》這首歌的MV而起 我莫名其妙地問了jo有沒有看過mv,要不要喝和盧廣仲一樣徒步環島 沒想到,她居然說她也正有此意 不得不說,我們真的是兩個瘋子hahahah 之後, 原本以為這個玩笑話不會成真的我 卻不知不覺就開始注意著飛機票價,和她計畫起2019年的哪一段時間更為合適 而就在盧廣仲宣布《大人中》演唱會將在4月28日舉行時 一切就有了定數。 算了算年假,再考慮下爸爸的生日, 嗯,就4月14日-5月1日吧。 在幾次面談計畫預定住宿,網路和簡訊討論,以及jo不間斷的安排下 我們準備好所有裝備(爸媽還陪我買背包旅行的東西) 一切就緒的我們(但其實很多事情都沒仔細安排) 就再14日的凌晨出發到我夢寐以求的台灣~ 話說台灣是我這麼多年來一直想去卻沒有去成的地方 它的戲劇、綜藝、歌手和藝人都在我成長階段啟發了我好多好多 這次去就好像是來到一致憧憬的地方 也像是回到爺爺家鄉的感覺 但也沒想到不去就不去,一去卻呆了17天,還環了個島。 而一個詞真的能概括這個旅途的重點:意料之外 出發前,我查看台北的天氣預報,天天晴朗,我開心得不得了 結果jo查了下,才發現台北如此,但其他地方卻不是。更荒謬的事,天氣預報我們每到一個地方,那一天就會下雨,離開就雨過天晴 結果,老天爺卻十分眷顧我們(多謝),多數日子都賞了好天氣 而就在我們覺得不會再下雨時,宜蘭卻下了一整天的雨哈哈哈 以為看不到夕陽,卻突然大晴天;有了期待之後,天空竟然烏雲密佈,甚至下起雨來 天氣大好,夕陽也就在眼前;但它卻突然躲到雲朵之間不再出來,夕陽又沒看成 想去參觀展覽,但它午休關門 看到網上的漂亮照片就去景點打卡,沒想到眼前的美卻不及照片的五分之一 (當然也不能忘了以為沒什麼的濕地卻成了清風拂面的清爽休息處) 計畫時40公里當4公里一樣說“一定行”,80公里也不當一回事 結果30公里要了我們的命,腳和肩膀痠得不行 山路崎嶇逼得我們下來推車,時速從20多km/hr降至4km/hr 我不可不服了我們的運氣,但我更佩服我們勇敢前行的衝勁 jo 真的是初生之犢不畏虎,無所畏懼的她時不時就讓我膽顫心驚 但我也慶幸自己沒在恐懼面前退縮害怕,甚至逼自己硬著頭皮往前衝不放棄 話說,我們途中在腳踏車店裡遇到兩位大叔, ...
Family talk tonight at a weird timing of 1am in their office Mum started by questioning dad what hes doing and how things should change - context: dad hasn’t been getting enough rest everyday and has recently fell sick twice probably due to low immunity As it turns out, mum truly needed answers cause she felt demoralized from having zero sales this year  Fear has made her pushed possible sales away time and again  And her fear of words has been stopping her from reaching out and sending cold call emails Dad then revealed that his intention of getting me into the business is to help mum to build her customer base - which she couldn’t cause she fear writing   Couldn’t help but feel amused that all the problems mum is facing Is all the problems I faced and still facing  And she has been the one who kept encouraging me and pointing the way out to me  果然 有其母必有其女 To which she said she kept pushing me to do things she couldn’t - like getting a goo...

「沒有人有義務為你的夢想買單」 「如果你沒有感受到生活的壓力 那一定是有人正在替你承受著」 最近 媽媽又感冒 又眼疾 感覺到各種疾病將會接踵而來 畢竟 他們都老了 而以上的兩句話 一直縈繞在我的腦海中 今年 我在自己的專業領域上成長了  不是非常厲害 更稱不上真正的專業 但我看透了一些表面 學了一些技術 我很滿足 也很為自己驕傲 一直想著明年的我該幹嘛 目標又是什麼 但現在 我決定了 我要賺錢 多一點外快 多一點自己的創作 多一點可以讓自己經濟自由的努力 多一點 可以為這個家庭買單的能力 記住 認真去實行它 26歲  該與他們一同承擔了
刚看到一个五六十的儿子带着八九十的妈妈来到cafe坐下 就突然 好希望自己也有带阿嬷出门的机会 即使带公公和外婆外出多次 但由于阿嬷很早就病倒 我从没带她出门吃过东西逛过街 当时不懂事的我 当时不懂得珍惜的我 当时不懂得沟通很重要的我 再也没有这个机会 制造与你一起在咖啡厅里吃片蛋糕喝杯kopi o的回忆 阿嬷 我想你了 ❤️
