为自己走出自己

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

I have been a fan of Nicky Wu (吴奇隆) since my secondary school days and have all his solo albums (I did not manage to collect all Little Tigers’ 小虎队 albums though) and all his shows. Hence, it’s not surprising that I follow all his news too.

Nicky Wu has divorced his wife of 3 years and the following is what he’s posted on his blog:

感情是緣份不是工具

緣分盡了就該放手了

我的感情問題在今年八月正式劃下句點

我知道這兩年讓許多長輩 朋友擔心

很抱歉為了我的堅持

很抱歉為了我的個性

但這就是你们這麼多年還站在我身邊的原因不是嗎

我希望我還是我

我會走出讓你們驕傲自豪的路

新的生活已經開始

為自己走出自己

PS不需要再為我操心

為我開心

Short but touching short paragraph which tried to summarize everything in a casual way.

For those who did not participate in the Little Tigers’ era, here are some pictures of Nicky Wu.

PSLE Mathematics

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

PSLE Mathematics paper often causes uproar and one question that appeared in channelnewsasia.com as extremely difficult was this:

Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?

My solution? There you go:


Swee Choon Tim Sum

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

As Kian Gee will be leaving Singapore soon, we decided to bring him to eat the authentic 剪刀剪 curry rice. As luck would have it, the shop was closed for renovations!!! For the past 20 odd years, this is the 1st time I heard of this shop undergoing renovations. So, our dear Kian Gee did not get to try this afterall.

Luckily my grandma stayed in that area when I was young, so we took another 10 minutes walk to Swee Choon for Tim Sum. It was a blessing in disguise as Kian Gee turned out to be a Tim Sum lover. He asked me if the Tim Sum here were as nice as the Kopitiam in Compass Point.

I guess Kian Gee’s happy face would have answered his own question. The total bill came out to be only $29.50.
