useful
Was watching KangXiLaiLe last night and the topic de jour was grown men reminiscing about their unrequited love.
One had held a torch for a girl for 5 years and processed his love many times and had them all turned down, one of which in a very public arena. The girl had told the guy that she was in another relationship and not available, and that she didnt think they would be suitable together. The guy held on and is still waiting, as long as she hasnt married.
The hosts then asked the opinion of other guests,"why did the girl remain friendly with the guy despite knowing clearly his affection for her, and after making her own intentions clear?" I mean, it is obvious the guy is hurting and his life has been put on hold.
One guest was especially succinct, she said "那是因为他还有一些利用价值吧...(This is most probably he is still useful to her)."
Tough. Selfish and True. Save yourselves. Run.

遇虎
上得山多终遇虎
4 points $130
for driving above less than 20km/hr on road of speed limit of 90km.
I guess I should considered myself lucky that it was not higher.

Hook Line and Sinker
ah... the latest CBT with the ingenious cross over program where reaching out is made on a platform of geishaism, skimpy clothing and gyrations over bad music. "Hits"? Really?
There are many successful and less successful artistes who went from gospel to pop, but I dont know any who seem to have gone all the way and over the secular line while still purporting to be doing God's work.
besides the money, i simply cant understand how could anybody swallow hook line and sinker that this is anything but a simple chase for pop stardom.

life plan
“If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan.
And guess what they have planned for you?
Not much.”
John Rohn
That has pretty been much what I have been up to the last couple of months - thinking about where I am and where I want to be, and most importantly, how am I going to get there.
It might be mid-life crisis, but there is really very little time to lose now, not that anybody has a lot of time to begin with, abundance is just an illusion of youth when death and old age seems to distant and only happens to someone else. I have to somehow translate that to my kids without scaring them...
As part of a discussion (with a bit of heat), I was telling my friend, "If you are not going to where you want to go by doing what you are doing, why are you still doing it?"
Not by any means complete, but recognizing the facts is the first step.
Be brave.

Calm the F down
Was driving to work and the electronic board said to avoid lanes 2 and 3 on the KJE to PIE and it looked like this:
That meant that the accident was in the middle 2 lanes of a 4-lane carriageway.
When I passed it on the right, it was an accident with a 3 tonner truck on the 2nd land, a van on the 3rd and a motorbike on the side in front of the van. The motorcyclist was sprawled on the road, in an unnatural position like those you see in movies or some tv shows.
My first thoughts were "OH NO!", "What is his family going to do, so close to Chinese New Year?"
Then I started remembering that no matter whether the truck is at fault, he will be cited for an offense for the fact that he was on the 2nd lane.
Then I started thinking that people should really calm the F down when driving.
And I should probably really seriously slow down.
But the problem is I am stone cold calm when I drive, and slowing down will probably bring me to zzz.

WHAM!
ARGH.
Kenna bwang again.
Was totally stationary again.
Straight hit in the back again.
Rain again, though much heavier downpour.
Slip road going out of expressway again, CTE towards Outram.
This time by a Chinese taxi uncle.
Total damage expected to be $6k-ish due to damage to rear bumper, tail door and boot alignment, plus loss of use for 6-8 days IF the claim is approved and the uncle dont cook up some cock and bull story.
Shit.
