运气，这东西
一个人的运气是否有额度，是否会用完呢？
这个问题，时而都会飘进我脑海里。
因为我觉得我这一生太幸运了，一切都那么顺利，那么lucky！不可思议地让我有点害怕这一切的美好会有结束的一天。杞人忧天吗？或许是。但也希望提醒自己这一切不是必然的。
怎么说呢？从小到大，在学业上一直是顺利的。不算是特别杰出的学生，但总还是前面那几位。一直都遇到好的老师，好的同学。虽然不是每次考试都有佳绩，但到了关键的那几个考试，总算是令人满意。
课业以外，也遇到令自己很满足、很喜爱的活动。记得有一度周末总是排得满满的，而这些我想上的活动都刚好不会撞期。就是那么的刚好，那么的，lucky。
在家里，从小有祖父、祖母、外公、外婆陪伴长大。虽然祖父、祖母这一两年过世了，但很庆幸自己有20多年的机会认识他们，受他们疼爱。许多人连自己的祖父母都没见过面。所以，我是幸运的。Lucky。
虽然不来自大富大贵之家，但从小什么也不缺，要出国有的去，要上什么课，也没问题。父母会斗嘴吵架，跟哥哥和弟弟也常常会起争执、会斗嘴，但这是我们增感情的方式。这比不说话的家人好吧。
毕业后，也不需要找工作，工作就送上门啦。所以，我是没有找工的经验的。这不是lucky，是什么？
这两天，也是幸运天。前天成功考到驾照（虽然是3rd try 啦，但还是yeah!），昨天更不可思议。
早上下起一场倾盆大雨，我正准备出门去采访，担心叫不到德士，在犹豫是否应该Call Cab. 最后决定去碰运气，到楼下有遮盖的停车地点，看看有没有那么巧会有人在哪里下车。怎么知道就是那么巧，一走到楼下，就有人下车，我就这样叫到了德士，而且还不需要淋到一滴雨。结果还提早到了采访地点。到了那里才发现原来有好些地方淹水，其他记者都被塞在路上。回到公司，同事说，她早上在路上塞了一个小时，还因此迟到了。我就叙说了我早上的幸运事。另一名同时说：“哇，你平常一定做很多好事。”
幸运之神总是悄悄的照顾着我。
谢谢妳。

人生是一堂上不完的实验课
人生总是充满着“寻找”。
寻找理想的学校。
寻找适合的科系。
寻找那份完美的工作。
寻找知心的人。
或许你已经知道自己要找的是什么，又或许寻寻觅觅后发现那不是你要的，但最终目标都是希望有个完美的结果。
所谓的“完美”，也会不断改变，所以就当它是一堂上不完的实验课，继续寻找心目中的“答案”吧。
昨天在Yes 933听到一首新歌《人生实验课》，由新的本地组合《插班生》演唱。有意思。

Vipassana
Have u heard of Vipassana?
It's also my first time hearing it today and the whole idea sounds so crazy and yet kinda enticing...
Vipassana is a form of meditation, and is taught thru a 10-day residential course. In those 10 days, all you do is sleep, eat and meditate (for almost 14 hrs a day). You will not have any form of communication with you, nor any form of entertainment. (No computer, internet, tv, radio even books). You must not even talk to fellow meditators in the course for 9 days. (The reason dinner conversation became this was cos I was too full and said I wanna 封口，so it led to this other form of 封口。）
So, all you have for 9 days is you and your mind.
It's supposed to help u clear your mind, see things in a different light.
And all you'd be eating is fruits and vegetarian food. (think lose weight)
Best part is, it's a free course.
And it's actually held in Singapore at St John's Island.
But maybe I should try normal meditation first. 10 days is so no joke!

E.L.I.T.E.
What is the definition of an elite? Who is an elite? Does going to an elite school automatically makes me an elite? How do you define an elite school anyway?
This is but a label put upon you. Sometimes I feel it's a label I rather not have, but at times I'm happy to have that.
But it always makes me uneasy to be called an elite. There seems to be so many connotations that comes with this label, bad and good, but seems to be mostly bad. Other than not wanting to be associated with the negative traits, I do not feel that I'm good (ie smart or successful) enough to be an elite too.
The ST article last Saturday does more or less resonate for an ex-Rafflesian like myself. Tho I'm only a third Rafflesian (only been to RJ rather than those who are on the Raffles family from Primary to JC), I think the issues in question are applicable to anyone who is lucky enough to be in good schools their whole life. mixing with friends from respectable and mostly loving /supporting families with a great learning environment. Can be someone from HCJC, VJC, TJC, NJC and come from the top 10 or 20 sec schs. It's no doubt the school environment and the people you hang out with shape who you are and how you think and view the world.
I think my first jolt to reality came when, at a inter-school leadership camp, where prefects from my sch (DHS) have combined camps with prefects from other, what they call neighbourhood schools. As we discuss the kind of disciplinary problems we have to deal with and help each other out on how best we can deal with them, you realise how insignificant your problems of catching ppl who have their shirts tucked too far out and wearing ankle socks are, compared to those who deal with students who smoke and steal and fight. You do not face them and you just can't understand. You come from a loving family, and so do most of your friends. You do not have to worry about monetary issues and do not have to work during holidays to make sure you have something to eat at recess when sch starts. You just have to study hard and be a good student. That's your job.
I'm as un-Rafflesian as one can be. I like Mandarin, I'm not good in English. I join the Chinese Orchestra, I study weird subject combinations (more than half of RJC students are in triple science). Many are rather surprised at my decision to chose RJC. And why did I choose RJC? Because I want to study Japanese at A Level (and that's the only place in Singapore that offers it), I want to improve my English, I think I will benefit from a different kind of environment.
Anyway, being Rafflesian or not is also a kind of stereotype isn't it? In the end I still made good friends whom I can clique with, more or less enjoyed my time at the school and come out with better command of English and understanding of what the "elites" are like.
It's so sad to be shedding tears just because you do not get 4 As or 5 As at A levels, relentlessly pursue excellence in every single way possible (be a leader, serve the max no of comm service possible, represent the sch in every competition possible) and not stop to experience what life is about, or think about what life is like for "commoners" out there.
In a way, my choice of profession is already very "un-Rafflesian" as my brother puts it. Most Rafflessians eventually end up as doctors and lawyers and bankers and be top civil servants, earning big money, and I'm but a poor (literally) journalist. They easily earn at least 30% to several times more than what I'm earning right now.
But then, I'm not quite "Rafflesian" to begin with.
Labels. They are never ending.

it's another great day out with the girls today. nv fails to be energy and/or events filled. there was no USS or roller coaster like we envisioned it to be, but there was still trusty Sentosa and a fulfilling meal.
but then, it was the results of the random decision to do a personality test among all on the grp that amazes me. and so did the discussion over supper after.
we can be so different, and yet so complimentary. there is always a place for u in this world, a way you can contribute.
let the powers combine.

梁智强VS老虎伍兹记者会
“梁智强”三个字，大家应该已经听腻了、看腻了吧？还是觉得意犹未尽呢？
前天采访了他的记者会，场面比巨星来访还轰动，情节也比8频道剧集还戏剧化。虽然接到任务时，心里是相当不愿意去采访这类纯碎属于娱乐八卦，干预别人私事的新闻，但能在本地体验到如此轰动的场面，也应该仅此一次。
不计其数的人也已经对此事件，通过各个平台发表了自己的意见。我也忍不住要插一句。
我说了什么？请点阅：958新闻室博客

《听说》
我已经见人就推荐啦，但还是想要在这里推荐一下这部台湾小品《听说》。
没有带着任何期望，甚至不知道故事情节就跟随台湾朋友去看了这部电影。或许就是因为没有任何期望，所以它出乎意料带给了我惊喜。是一部让我笑得很用力，也哭的很用力的电影。当然加上男主角很帅啦。
我发现，不要带任何期待去看一部电影，收获总是比较大的。最近因为大家都把Sherlock Holmes说的很好而慕名进电影院看，却稍感失望。就像朋友说的，她在排山倒海的推荐下，看了《海角7号》，看了以后，就觉得也不过如此。而这部电影只冲着是台湾片和彭于晏（很帅的男主角）去看，也给她带来意外的惊喜。
所以，我也知道让大家抱有很大期望去看一部电影的败笔。所以，如果你要去看《听说》，请忘了我以上写的。:P

avatar 之狠篇
阔别N年以后，我爸爸终于带我妈再度进入电影院。
是什么电影这么有魅力？就是史上以最快速度破十亿票房的Avatar.
可是3D电影没有中文字幕，害他们看得蒙查查。结果换来我妈说：
“看什么烂电影。人不像人鬼不像鬼，很恶心。打来打去炸来炸去，一点都不好看。浪费我3个小时坐在那边，还睡着。浪费11块钱。没有跟我讲是什么戏就拉我去看！”
深受好评的Avatar就这样给我妈骂得一文不值。我和我弟听了都不知道该从哪里开始跟我妈解释电影好在哪里。
我爸爸好不容易请妈妈去看电影，而且是3D Avatar， 却被老妈骂得狗血淋头。好可怜的爸爸。
