The Roach Poem
Was about to sleep when a small creature crawled,
I caught it with the corner of my eyes as it walked.
Calm and steady I took the Risect and the broom,
swish and splash but it was not sent to it's doom.
Out it flies into my rummie's wardrobe,
what to do but to give it a little shove.
Fortunately we trapped it as we poach,
here ends the story of the nasty cockroach.

I notice a little something new about myself.
After a few incident, I notice I am someone who would like to be appreciated
Maybe, most people are like that too.
I think there are goods and bads of having this quality.
The Good
When one gives you a good recognition when you accomplish a task - giving a pat on the back, giving great smiles or handshake or returning the favor - you would feel on top of the world, feeling great that you have done something important. It is of the nicest feeling, making one know that they are useful/important in something. It doesn't have to be something massive, just those small everyday things that can turn your frown into a smile, that alone can fuel you through the day. However...
The Bad
When one does not give you the recognition you deserved/wanted (noted that I put wanted there?), you'll get over sensitive and pissed off easily. It's true how saying or not saying or not-saying-with-smile or saying-without-sincerity a normal 'thank you' would give different response from others. (P/S: for you guys out there, insincerity is easy to detect, you don't have to be an expert to know it.) But when situations put you in as the bearer, you would get over sensitive and you lock yourself into a never-ending portal of self-pity, where people mistreat you all the time and your prejudice get ahead of you.
It is sad to know the consequences of possessing a quality. But I think it is how you manage yourself that makes the difference.
Let's put ourselves outside of the 1st person or 2nd person's POV. Put yourself in a 3rd person's POV instead.
Would you agree to someone beginning to hate another just because they forget to say a sincere thank you?
Is it okay for one to make a judgement before knowing that there are several angles to take into consideration?
Yes, it might not seem appropriate sometimes to allow unfairness. I know cause I am one who values fairness, or as the Chinese call it, 公正.
But, remembering the recognition we seek for, is it a must or is it a desire?
At times it seems that not all hard-work or efforts made are given the hero's welcoming.
Those who give incognito are actually the true heros because they are in the level where it doesn't matter whether or not you get the recognition - this is where you have fun giving.
Relating it to teachings such as the Chinese Buddhism and some celebrations such as Christmas, the spirit of giving is somewhat, the next level to be achieved by men.
This is where some hearts come at peace.
As for me, I would still continue to enjoy my new found quality, but in a conserved way, because I believe in one who may give good recognition to others, for the good of both parties.
Appreciation, is to be given, and to be taken (Wendy, 2012)

讲多错多
这既可怜又无可否认的事实
当我最近面对人多时
不知怎，嘴巴讲的比头脑想的还来得快
不对场合说出不对的话，
不懂有没有得罪他人。。。
祸还是从口出来的
人只能时时警惕
照顾自己并顾及他人的滋味
才算沟通/处事成功
无论你是处身在哪里的你
要是我曾经说过一些难下耳的话
我在这诚恳的道歉
本人不是故意的，
希望大人有大量
peace out

Life lessons: Communication
It takes 2 to tango.
We don't have to be taught to understand the importance of communication.
But sometimes somehow, we don't do it.
Why?
Because it's what we Chinese refer to as 麻烦, or troublesome.
We are stuck in an era where minds are set to be: if you don't say it out, then others won't know; if others don't know, nobody's gonna bother you and your own sweet world.
Right?
Wrong.
Reality is always harsh, in this case, if you don't communicate (well) with others, then in the end, things will not turn out the way you planned it.
Let me share this with you.
I was not one who was trilled with the idea of communication.
Specifically with my parents.
They somehow got to find fault in everything you say and every discussion would turn out to be a lecture. (Boring stuff I know, I still love my parents though.)
But recently, I've found out that it is actually not that hard to talk to them.
Yes sure, everything they say must be out of a handbook or something (Universal Handbook for Asian Parents: Guides and Examples available!)
But as much as you don't like to hear out their lessons or lectures, most of them actually make good advice.
Their messages are as though encrypted by several layers of codes, if you manage to crack them, it'll be raining "golden experiences".
I started to like talking to them as I grow, and I realize the many boring/useful stuff they say to you, most of it is out of care and love.
Awww guys, thanks for making me feel like a star.
No pun intended :)
Anyway, grab a close member of your heart, your parents, your partners, your friends, and communicate. Talk and sort things out, sometimes, the results might even surprise you.
Have a nice day.

Update
Why is updates like these so important you asked?
No one would be interested anyways...
The point of having an update is just to tell everyone
1, I'm still alive and breathing
2, I'm kindda busy with my all too awesome social life
3, I'm too lazy to blog/write stuff
4, My brain capacity is at max
5, I'm just plain lazy...
Point taken?
So Suit Up!
Cause today is gonna be legend-wait for it-dary! LEGENDARY!

What to do when your lecturer is coming to your internship site to visit?
My lecturer is coming next Tuesday to the company I'm internship-ing in. Besides getting nervous, I came out with a few ways to face the situation in a CALM AND MATURED MANNER.
#1 Pretend you are sick and request for an MC: doctor, I got a megamonterousginomous illness, it's true! I swear my heart skipped a beat just now.
#2 Get injuries on the spot: hit yourself or put your hand in the big big machines nearby... owh, does red means dangerous? I didn't know!
#3 Grow tumor/cancer on demand. And the practicality of it: diminish it when not in use. Esicuseme sir, is this a lump on my hand? OMG IT'S A FREAKING LUMP!!
#4 Look dumb and stare at mid air drooling: aaaagaggggaaaaaaa, hwaaahaaaaaa, brraaaaagaaaaaaaa....
#5 Pretend you are the smart and efficient OL working: Oh yes, I'm very busy, I have 34 Facebook comments, 56 notification and 5 Youtube subscriptions to go through, it gets pretty hectic at times.
#6 The hostile welcome: HI THERE! You want coffee or tea? I'll get you BOTH! Creamer too! Oh, you gotto try this new cracker I'm having, it tastes like heaven and I bet your whole family would like it, hel even the birds like it......
#7 The introvert style.
Lecturer goes: How are you doing here? Have you learn anything? How would you relate the knowledge you have with your current job?
Me goes: Good. Yes. Appropriate.
#8 The nervous approach.
Lecturer goes: How's everything going?
Me goes: (nervous laugh) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, fine fine fine, I guess, no, I think I know so, hold on, what's your question again? HAHAHAHAHAHA.
#9 The underground thug/ganster showing swag: You give me the blasted 'A' MF or else, I got your mother's Facebook account! You are warned...
#10 Just keep smiling, just keep smiling... *Speaking with a clenched teeth* HEHEHEHE *SMILE SMILE SMILE* oh hi you look nice today HEHEHEHEHEHE Omigosh did I forget to smile? HEHEHE
Gosh, I hope the lecturer cut me some slack...

成长还是忘本？
最近（是今天 --'）看了一个节目， Astro AEC 的老行业，。
我看的那个是第十集，讲述一个住在 Balik Pulau 的老爷爷，天天靠着自己的双手亲自制作那家喻户晓的“水粉”。
对，就是我们小时候常常玩的，那小小，锥形，白色的水粉！
一来，我看见那老爷爷背后的心酸，宏大的使命。
二来，还记得童年时，我们到处乱跑，被妈妈骂，还时不时抓回一两只小动物的时候？
对，就是我们小时候常常玩的，那小小，锥形，白色的水粉！
这让我有了深深的感触。
他为了维持中华文化所作出的牺牲，让我敬佩不已。
老爷爷制作水粉不是为了谋利，他只不过是“为了老顾客们而继续这生意”。
要做这门生意一点都不容易，除了要提起那重达约5kg的米袋挂上个钩子来过滤水分，还得每天曝在太阳底下晒，观察，和收这些水粉粒...
虽然一个月才赚区区的那几百块，但那心灵上的满足却是“非键盘所能形容的”。

（可以从这寻看更多照片）
那时那有什么ipad, 电脑，电动机等高科技玩意儿？
活在那年代，我们经历的不是什么谁谁谁在网上换了留言什么的，我们经历的是今天抓到了一只小乌龟/小鸟等等的。
看看以往和现在的差别，我不禁怀念以前；总觉得那时生活很充实，无忧无虑...
应该说，忧虑的也不是我们吧... 哈哈
究竟是我们成长了还是我们忘了本？
感觉我好像忘记了生活上一些小小的乐趣，小小的满足。
就好象我在课业上读到的诗一样，"He was a man who used to notice such things"? (Afterwards, Thomas Hardy)
这是我家外的小鸟，我们把它们带回家养，快2个月大了哦！
这是今天去 cherok to'kun 看到的长颈小乌龟，很开心 to'kun 还能哺育这可爱的小生命。
我不要成为在现代生活中迷失自己的人，我不要连自己的根都不知何处去。
我要成为那个人家问起还能告诉他我的故乡的故事，我的童年回忆，我的文化习俗。
不然以后还真的是 “笑问客从何处来”咯。。。
