词曲: 阿信

其实你 是个心狠又手辣的小偷
我的心 我的呼吸和名字都偷走
你才是 绑架我的凶手
机车後座的我 吹着风逃离了平庸

这星球 天天有五十亿人在错过
多幸运 有你一起看星星在争宠
这一刻 不再问为什麽
不再去猜测人和人 心和心 有什麽不同

1 2 3 牵着手
4 5 6 抬起头
7 8 9 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空 让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动

当你说 太聪明往往还是会寂寞
我笑着 倾听孤单终结後的静寞
看月亮 像夜空的瞳孔
静静凝视你我和我们闹嚷的星球

靠近你 怎麽突然两个人都词穷
让心跳 像是野火燎原般的汹涌
这一刻 让命运也沉默
让脚尖划过天和天 地和地 缘分的宇宙

1 2 3 牵着手
4 5 6 抬起头
7 8 9 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空 让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动


** 一向来都喜欢阿信的词，简单、容易上口，又有意思。MV的画面让人憧憬爱情，习惯了单身的我有点措手不及……

原来跟老板说要辞职是一件很烦的事情。
他们很想我留下，这个星期被叫去“喝咖啡”几次了，但另外一边的 offer 却很好，无法拒绝，不然会对不起自己和父母。
挣扎了一个星期，心里面已经有了最后决定，相信所做的决定是对的，希望他们会了解，不会怪我。当然，现在离开对我的 team 来说是时机很不对，Eileen 都快要去 maternity 了，Ray 和 Adrian 也要去 reservices 。所以老板要我留下，很大的原因也是这个吧。
不想破坏和老板的关系，又不想失去一个这么好的 offer ，真难做人。也许，有时做人要心狠一点。如何巧妙地拒绝别人，的确是一门学问。

Just finished writing my so called 1st formal resignation letter. Although it's just a very short letter, I had spent more than half an hour to complete it. A lot of memories with Citi flashed back in my mind. The 3 years relationship is not short. I believe I'll have a super hard feeling handing the letter to my manager tomorrow.
I still remember the scene when my manager Annie interviewed me in a RSC meeting room(now has been removed due to expansion) on 16 Aug 2004. She was pregnant and I was still considered as a fresh graduate without any banking knowledge, doing some part time jobs while seriously looking for my 1st permanent job in banking. The interview session was quite short as I only gave very simple answer for each question she asked. I was also asked to do a coupon calculation, which now I think how super easy it is. I stunt for a while but managed to answer it correctly later. At the end, I thought I had failed it badly and could never join Citi again.
Anyway, I was just lucky enough to be offered a 3-month contract position in the Corporate Action team. Without hesitating, I agreed and started my 3 year-life in Citi on 17 Aug 2004.....

缘分就是那么奇妙，风牛马不相及的人可以碰在一起，成为侃侃而谈的朋友。
有时候会是因为共同的兴趣和话题，有时候则是因为一件很不起眼的小事。
就是那么偶然，那么意外，令人防不胜防。
从此，生活多了一份期待，少了一份孤寂。

人说缘字终难猜透，来去匆匆，犹如车窗外飞逝的景物。
虽然不能尽如人意，我还是会记得这段真挚情谊。

最近认识了一些新朋友，曾经是陌生的人，现在却如此的靠近。

作词: 林秋离
作曲: 黄国伦

总是面对过那些令人很难堪的事
才明白人间的聚散 是不能全放在心上
你说的爱不难 不代表可以简单 说忘就忘

总是面对过任何时间都伪装的人
那谎言如此的明显 却满足了情的弱点
教人心甘情愿 将自己陷在里面 不顾危险

点亮霓虹灯 粉刷着黑夜不会那麽深
纵然心已冷 也把爱当作真
点亮霓虹灯 疲倦的眼神不会那样沉
我的梦依然在红尘中翻滚
在红尘中翻滚.....


** 很难想象26岁的我会喜欢听50岁的女人唱歌。记得小学的时候，父亲也喜欢听蔡琴，时常在车上播她的歌。由于还小，我只是默默地听，什么也听不懂。直到中学，无意中听到这首歌《点亮霓虹灯》，心里顿然有种很 shocked 的感觉。于是开始留意蔡琴，却又不敢告诉朋友我喜欢她的歌，因为我还是中学生，听老歌是件很丢脸的事。

只有到了大学，才决定抛开这错误的观念，开始寻找蔡琴的歌，第一首就是《点亮霓虹灯》。后来，陆陆续续地收集了不少蔡琴的歌，不过要真正引起共鸣的，却是在踏入社会工作后，这才明白为什么父亲那时候会喜欢听她的歌。现在，临睡前都会习惯地播放她的歌，然后回想当天发生过的事情，想着想着就这样睡着了。

据说，这首歌在她的心中占据了很重要的位置。1995年，她那一段10年婚姻，因为第三者的介入而宣告破裂。那时候她刚好在录制这首歌，伤心的人，唱伤感的歌，一首永恒的经典，就这样诞生了。蔡琴曾表示，在演唱会时，她没有勇气当众把这首歌唱完，因为它总是勾起那段伤痛的回忆。每次唱到一半，泪水已模糊了眼睛，无法再唱下去。

锁上灯关上门黑暗里 只剩我和我独处
白天那个与我同名同姓的人 所做的事我都不在乎
做不该做的事 爱不该爱的人 天天重覆
记得巳有很久不曾为谁痛哭 所有的苦都当做过渡
我听见我的心在哭 如此遥远却如此清楚
我听见我的心在哭 像孩子一样的无助
人的世界忙忙碌碌盲盲目目 在人群中随着沉沉浮浮
每个人都荒荒张张仓仓促促 谁又能去说自己在乎

推开记忆的门
我在心里看见了 看见了
远去的人 是他和她
曾陪我走过 生命里的淡淡早晨
推开记忆的门
身后往事一幕幕 一幕幕
似幻似真 有悲有喜
有爱有恨 酸酸甜甜消磨了青春
感谢那些事 感谢那些人
感谢那一段段奇妙的缘分
啊! 人生原来就是 和那些事那些人 相遇的过程

26 岁了，新的一个人生阶段即将开始。今天慧智邀请大家到她的家品尝她的厨艺，顺便庆祝 Kaijin、她自己和我的生日。慧智果然不负众望，她的咖哩鸡、排骨和午餐肉都是有相当水准的，每个人都赞不绝口，Cheelim 有福啦！晚餐后是眼镜熊 和Heart Attack 时间，由于输了两场，被罚喝了两大杯的 Vodka + 梅酒 + Soda + iced lemon tea ，整个人 high high 的，还好没醉倒。



开始吹蛋糕啦……


美好时光


一只双子和两只巨蟹在许愿。事业、爱情、健康、家庭、友情、财运都很重要，只是还没有心理准备进入26，不知该怎么 prioritize 。


切蛋糕……


给 Kaijin 的生日礼物，Steven Gerrard's Autobiography。买的时候，全新加坡的 Kinokuniya 只剩下一本。Gerrard 的 新加坡fans 真是超多！


给慧智的生日礼物，智慧沙。很遗憾没能买张小娴的书给你，不过这本书也蛮有意思的，希望你会把它看完。








今年的生日过得很特别！在许多照片里都是笑得嘻嘻哈哈的。谢谢你们！

Our unit had a BBQ dinner after work at colleague Meena's new penthouse on Friday. The design of her penthouse is amazing and considerably spacious too. I just wonder how long I should wait to buy my own penthouse. Overall the session was good, lots of jokes and unfinished food. Thanks Colin for organizing the BBQ dinner, I know it's not an easy job.

Colin was setting up the fire for BBQ. Have learned a lot from him on the preparation of food and tools.


Chee Heng, a member of the Chee Brothers Inc, was bbq-ing the delicious golden crispy chicken wings and satay. Me, the another member, was serving others with my famous black pepper chicken wings.


Was not in the mood of taking pictures in that night. BBQ may not be suitable as we were exhausted after work. It's not easy to stand in front of the hot fire and do the BBQ. A small buffet would be better and is easier to clean up after finish.

I don't really believe in horoscopes. There are billions of people in this world and it's not possible to categorize them into 12 horoscopes. Anyway, just received an email from a friend of mine yesterday and the descriptions about Cancer shock me:-

1) He never go to get what he wants directly, but he will wait for a chance and opportunity to do so. Once he gets what he wants, he will not loose it, except if he get tired of it by himself.
100% correct: I'm an opportunist. I've learned its importance from soccer matches and badminton.

2) The most sensitive man who can not stand rejection. He cares what other people feel or think of him. He hates loosing face and he tends to over protected himself, so sometimes people might think he is a cold person.
100% correct: Ya, I'm quite sensitive. My colleagues and good friends know me well on this.

3) His security is only when he has money in his pocket. Once he feels secure then he might think of having a happy family. Even he likes to make and keep money, he is not stingy. Spending money is part of his good image, so he will be happy to spent money to take you out to a very expensive restaurant or buy a jewelry for you. Certainly when he has money OK.
100% correct: When I have money, I like to spend on nice and expensive food with friends.

4) He is possessive to everything that he thinks belong to him. Don't try to talk to another cute guy in front of him, he will get suspicion because he is not very secure or confident in himself for this kind of competition.
80% correct: Although have been single for 2 years, I still remember that I'm an easy-jealous guy.

5) He is a shy guy, but if he likes you. You can get up in the morning and see that he is in front of your house everyday till you go out with him, a very persistent guy.
60% correct: Yes, I'm shy but not persistent enough.

6) He likes a secure, cheerful and lively woman, confident but at the same time always act proper and appropriate. He likes a secure woman, but able to adjust to his rapid changes. A very difficult type to find woman indeed.
100% correct: How true it is! Yes, it's not easy to find.....

7) He thinks of his home as "nest" and it is the safest place for him. If he feels hurt or depress he will stay at home alone quietly. Once he feels better, he will come out of his retreat and lives normally again. Being a looser is not him.
80% correct: I like family but I won't stay at home when I'm depressed. I would rather go out alone for breathing fresh breeze.

8) Gifted, creative, imaginative, is Cancer. A mystery and complexity play a major role in a life of a Cancer man. He could be very funny, very quiet, suddenly very sad. Living with him could be very unexpected, for you will not know what is his next mood. If you like excitement and surprise, you have the right guy and never have a chance to get bored.
100% correct: Sometimes I think I'm a complicated person, but my colleagues tend to say I'm flexible too. Simply unpredictable.

9) It is so easy to fall in love with this guy because he is gentle and a very polite guy. His wit and creative mind could win your affection. He will come out from his nest to protect you even if he is not opening himself up to other people much. Not many people will win his heart.
60% correct: I don't think I'm charm and gentle enough. So girls are easy to fall in love with me is totally not true. The rest is quite true though.

10) The most sensitive man and the weakest emotional type in all Zodiac. Most artists are Cancer. Cancer is controlled by the "Moon" and the moon change it's shape daily, so Cancer man's emotional and moods change all the time too. You will confuse with him and yet it is his constantly changes that "Charm" you.
80% correct: I'm not that emotional but I do always confuse people, especially my boss. She always says my words cannot be trusted and must double or triple confirm before can get to conclusion.

Recently I was "elected" as the badminton captain of Private Bank in the coming Citi Sports Challenge, which will be held at NUS High School on 18 Aug 2007. Every business group, ie Private Bank, IPB, Corporate & Investment Bank, Consumer Bank and O&T will compete each other in the events like soccer, badminton, captain ball, netball, table tennis, track & field, cheerleading and Tug of War (should be 拔河 I think?).

Well, frankly speaking, the word "elected" is not appropriate I think, since I'm not a natural leader, nor a good badminton player. Someone who is elected should have something outstanding which can drive the rest forward. The only reason is because badminton is not a popular sports in Private Bank. Me, a regular player, have no choice but to take up the very tough task to lead the team to fight for our Private Bank's pride, haha. Hopefully we won't be the last team again, we are aiming at least the second last spot this year, ambitious but still stick to the reality.

As a captain, must at least do some preparation before the D day. The participant rate is quite good compared to last year. Is it largely due to the SGD50 per head (T-shirt + training expenses) sponsored by the management? Hopefully it's not, we shall see the participants' enthusiasm and sportsmanship soon - fight until the last blood. Training session is supposed to start from this week, but the courts are still not booked yet, and worse thing is I have not communicated to all the team members so far. Feel so guilty being a irresponsible captain. Nevertheless, I have already started my personal training last Sunday, trying to regain my deteriorating form, which had frustrated me for the past few weeks. The result is good though quite tiring, self belief and a little bit more determination will do.

** Went to Orchard Kinokuniya after work last Thursday and saw some China construction workers very focus on reading Chinese history and geography books on the floor. They looked like just knocked off from work because their clothes were so muddy and stinky. The first question raised up in my mind is "How come they are so keen on reading?". Not that I despise construction workers (I despise nobody), I just feel very guilty myself, why I do not have such a strong desire to improve my knowledge level?

1993年6月24日，黄家驹参加日本一个电视节目，应邀与主持人一起玩游戏时，由于舞台上有积水，两人不慎从3米高的舞台上摔下来。家驹头部先着地，伤势严重，一直处于昏迷状态。当年的6月30日下午4时15分，家驹与死神搏斗144小时后永远地长眠不醒，享年31岁……

昨天，6月30日，是 Beyond 成员黄家驹逝世的第14周年。每一年的同一天，相信不少歌迷都会同样地感慨。他，依然停留在那一段未被遗忘的时光，拿着心爱的吉他，把心中的音乐和理想传达给我们。
Beyond 红的时候我还很小，还在念小学，年少无知。故，我很遗憾无法在家驹逝世前欣赏他的 rock 'n' roll、了解他的信念。那时候很流行华语歌，口里哼的都是周华健、小虎队之类的歌。直到慢慢长大后，开始看清楚这世界，接触了种种人情世故，原来他的歌可以带给自己这么大的回响。可惜，这一切都已经太迟……



岁月无声

词: 刘卓辉 曲: 黄家驹

千杯酒已喝下去都不醉 何况秋风秋雨
几多不对说在你口里 但也不感触一句
泪眼已吹干 无力再回望
山不再崎岖 但背影伴你疲累相对
沙不怕风吹 在某天定会凝聚
若我可再留下来
迫不得已唱下去的歌里 还有多少心碎
可否不要往后再倒退 让我不唏嘘一句
白发已沧桑 无梦再期望

岁月无声无息地吞噬过去，遥望无际的大地，无语问苍天。
愿我能忘记无泪的遗憾，还有那灰色轨迹，带着海阔天空的情怀，不再犹豫。
只要曾是拥有，无悔这一生……
