Chinese Father, Mother, 2 Daughters inside the taxi.
Father asking about daughters life here as a student. About her attachment, about her accommodation etc... Than they mention about trip or life in USA, in Canada. They communicate in Mandarin. Not sure from China or Taiwan. But I guess they are quite well off.
Than they started topic about S'pore English. S'porean English.
Younger daughter: 那天我的新加坡同学跟我打招呼，halo, 我的天，听得我都傻了。
They started laughing, but she did not say the word "hello" to prove that she did get it the right way...
Than the father to elder daughter: 甜心，你别学新加坡的英语，知道吗？你要保持你的美国英语，那才纯正。。。新加坡人的英语真的不行。。。
In my heart at that moment: x#*!#%@
Approaching destination, elder daughter started giving instruction to taxi driver: In front you turn in (pointing right at the same time)
OMG, is this what you called proper American English. I feel like telling her the American don't speak English this way.
American : Turn right ahead or Make a right turn in front.
British : Take right ahead.
So much of your proper English...*sign*

what's going on now?Or next?
Much had happened ever since my b/d... till now New year 2010... I've got so much to settle yet nothing can be resolve.
There are things I can tell others, I can share with friends, but there are still much kept inside me. Afraid of consequenses, afraid of losing, than I realise the reason that I'm feeling so vexed was due to fear. Becos of this fear inside me, I had not dare to take any action to resolve my problem. Suddenly I remember, what's there to fear of ? Why do I need to be afraid of the consequenses?
Actually I know what I should be doing. Probably I'll take a while to sort things out with her, but I will. I know I can handle it.

我们遇到开心或不开心的事，时间是灵药，淡忘了，才会有现在的自己。经历人生高低起伏，看破人生何须执着于一时。明白了“没有”的感觉是什么，从那时开始，就突然什么都不怕了。爱一个人有时候是很辛苦的。因为他，你的世界多了担心。也因为忙于担心，你迷失自己，忘了当初相爱的原因。学习怎么放手，才能更自在的爱你。
有一种感动无法用泪水表达，有一种坚持无法用时间衡量，有一种爱情无法用厮守成全，有一种爱叫放手。爱情不是某种结果，而是某种行为的动因，促使我们为自己所心爱的人去心甘情愿的付出。世界最遥远的距离，不是生于死，而是我就站在你面前，你却不知道我爱你。有些缘份是注定要失去的，有些缘份是永远不会有好结果的。爱一个人不一定要拥有，但拥有一个人就一定要好好去爱他。
曾经拥有的不快乐要忘记，已经属于自己的不要放弃，辛苦得来的更要珍惜，已经失去的当做路过，走过的路已成回忆，愿未来一切都能随心所欲。
常听说：爱人是痛苦的，被爱是幸福的。当你经历过爱与被爱，你会发觉爱与或被爱都是痛苦的，惟有相爱才是幸福的。
There's a gap, huge gap between us. Be it age, thinking, life style... I'm beginning to wonder why am I with her. I do enjoy her love, her attention in the beginning, but right now, I wish we have not started at all. I think we can be better friends than partner.

Not a Good day To travel
This morning I'm departing to Hk for 4days trip with gf. But it didn't started well.
1st while waiting for cab, it started to rain heavily. With the morning rush of children going to school, it make everything worst when I need to stand by the road to hail for a cab but the parents are all stopping infront of where I am standing to alight their precious kid to school.
Than I have a very talktive gf who talk to me non stop during the journey from house to airport, to check-in, to the deaparting lounge, to the plane- A380, finally she's diverted by the plane in-flight entertainment system, but still she talk on & off, than arrival in HK. Just when I thought everything is going to be fine, I was told I needed to wait for the complimentry bus ride for about 40mins, than someone didn't show up in time, we left airport at 3pm when we actually touchdown at 1:20pm. We took a nap, than upon reaching hotel, we queue 20mins to check in but was told the room was not ready till 6pm. What the hxxx, I keep my cool, took a sit @ the lounge with the complimentry drink offered. Realised forgot to bring my cigratte, went out to buy 1 pack than it taste awful....
Now I am still waiting, in another 20mins time I hope I can finally settle my bags in the room & start my eating, shopping trip in HK.
Cross my finger & hope after all the waiting I can finally put the bad things behind & have a good holiday & her b/d in HK.
Tomorrow we are going to disney...
Sat we plan to go The Peak for dinner... prior to that we are going to shop at Nathan Road
Sun I'll be back again...
Mon start work again...
Start saving $$$ again to go another trip...

Which One You Belongs To
We have all kinds (rude/stupid/idoit) people (driver/commuter/pedestrain) on the road.
Driver: Try to be ganster at times when they are being horn. Try to be reborn soon by driving like F1. Think they own the roads.
Commuter: Since they are paying fares for trip, they are so big shot. They don't understand what the labels are writing on.
Pedestrain: Why are they always so rush to cross the road even when the red little man already there.

Speak English but Don't understand English...
Some people like to behave they are very educated, using all the proper english words when speaking, some dress so pro, speak so pro, but I really wonder what kind of education they received & where.
Is stated clearly in my taxi label that "No Eating & No Drinking", "Do not Little", "Please fasten seatbelt" etc... but they don't understand at all.
So please don't try to show off your IQ, intelligent or educational level towards me. You are disgusting & disgracing yourself & those who had taught you in the past.

I'm not a Racist, but...
Maybe I'm just bad luck,maybe is true, I really dislike, hate, those I people.
1st: The I kids, they are the most irritating, annoying kids for most of the passenger with kids. They are ill manners, noisy & worst of all itchy hands. In fact I ever met 1 few I adults just as itchy hands as kids.
2nd: The I educated adult. Full of attitude, like they are the smartest & riches in S'pore. Come on, if I know the Caucasian works here stay in landed, while the co. can easily put you up in just condo, becos that's what you deserve only & if you ever dare to ask for more, than forget it, I'll get someone else. I don't think I'll ever dare to be too proud or show off to people.
3rd: The average I people. Due to different lifestyle, most of them really smells a bit not to my liking.
As i said I'm not a racist, sad to say that, of all 10 I passenger, I have 7 unpleasant experience with them or their kids.
Maybe they are just feeling inferior becos most of the ppl frm their country are here as cheap labour. So all this upper class ppl must show off to ppl like us, the taxi driver, the sales, the customer rep, the cashier, the receptionist... the not executive, pro ppl.
The richest ppl in the world are the most norm looking ppl like us. They don't show off their wealth cos they don't see the need to. When you need to show off your wealth, you are just feeling inferior & small... poor thing...
