What is Love?
One of my collegue forward this email, after reading i was kind of sad cos my dear sis is undergoing similar situation. My cousin-in-law Serene actually called me if i can stay with Sam for a week to accompany her as the family is worried she might want to commit suicide. One of the in-law Niran who is working in the drug centre as a Psychologists actually said Sam might think otherwise. So i was given this job to take care of her. Of cos i can, but i can only go next week so i called her everyday to make sure she is fully occupied.

To those who are married, .. not married .. and soon to be married ..
MARRIAGE
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her
hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate
quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let
her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic
calmly.
She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me
softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away
the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we
didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find
out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a
satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her
anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which
stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my
company.
She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who
had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt
sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take
back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly
in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was
actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me
for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing
something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep
and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.
When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just
did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.
In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't
want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal
a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a
month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.
This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked
me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day.
She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her
out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was
going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her
odd request.
I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions. She laughed
loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she
has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.
My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce
intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the
first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is
holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From
the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten
meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't
tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put
her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove
alone to the office.
On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned
on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that
I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she
was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair
was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I
wondered what I had done to her.
On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of
intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her
life to me.
On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of
intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became
easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday
workout made me stronger.
She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a
few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my
dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so
thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness
in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.
Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry
mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an
essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer
and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I
might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms,
walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her
hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly;
it was just like our wedding day.
But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I
held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to
school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life
lacked intimacy.
I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without
locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...
I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I
do not want the divorce anymore.
She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do
you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I
said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she
and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love
each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home
on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.
Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then
slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove
away.
At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers
for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled
and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
The small details of your lives are what really matter in a
relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the
bank, blah..blah..blah. These create an environment conducive for
happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be
your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that
build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!
If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you.
If you do, you just might save a marriage.

Missing Call
Last Saturday was a really busy day. Went to Urban Pooch with Audris and Dennis. Suppose to be a celebration for Cotton but seems like she was too tired and was lying around sleeping. Anyway, the place was ok. Food was not bad.
Since last thurs Lew Lew called and i did not picked up his call, my phone is like pretending dead ever since like myself pretending not to answer. I ordered Fish and chips and it comes with a soup. Trust me, the soup taste Good... But sadly, my fish and chips run out of chips, so they gave me onion rings instead. Anyway, before that my mum bought me rice with dishes from the market. So basically, i have my lunch at 12pm and my fish & "Onion Ring" at 3pm. Sinful....
I also ordered grilled chicken meatballs for Cotton and dris ordered German Shepard pie-chicken for Coco. But for some reason, cotton refuse to eat. Great!!! Ended up coco finished all the food. So i should say the food should be gd cos coco was like hunting up n down for the plate. If u wonder how both of them look like. A shot here..
After all the eating, i sent them back and went for my 2nd gathering at Orchard Swensen. Of cos not for my dinner, but just to meet the rest there and we headed down to Mt Faber. Arr... didnt stay there... No Carpark lot so the group decided to go to Cafe delmar. Is a nice place and ambience is good. We actually sat inside as the weather is kind of humid and warm.
After a few drinks, we decided to head to Clark Quay Safra KTV pub. The place was ok. But Rain at MS is better i think. I think we only stayed till about 1am and we went to Marina HK Dim Sum Cafe. Food is so so.
ANW, Serene said Roy's friend Vincent wanna hmm..... ANW, i gave the no. And this start all the rumours, bla bla bla...
I told my Sis Sam, i guess i only appeal to the "Lao Kok Kok" Cos vincent is coming to 30's. And sam said cos u always wear black ma. -_-|||

Waterfall
I was looking on the web and realise how powerfull Waterfall drink is... Dear Serene, now i know how strong the drink is and though u are a gd drinker but... hmm..
No more such drinks....
http://www.stomp.com.sg/stfoodiesclub/drinks/liquiddiet/37/index.html
30ml Kahlua
30ml Galliano
30ml brandy
30ml Sambuca
The two liqueurs and brandy are mixed before 30ml Sambuca is poured into the drink and set alight.
***Danger: Although their names sound harmless, their after-effects are to be reckoned with, even for those accustomed to hard liquor.
'Instead of drinking half a bottle of vodka to get high, you can have one glass of these drinks and get the same effect,'' says Marco De Miranda, 35, general manager of Bar None at the Marriott Hotel.

God heard me!
I was K-po to know if Singtel realli issue any voucher to my client so i email him last week so i can use the same tactics with Starhub if it works and here's his reply:
------------------
ya...they give me SGD30 more...$*#(&^$Q
I tell them to keep the SGD 30....and i swap to starhub.
regards
xxx
------------------
In conclusion, u thought all service provider are idiots and comply to all customer complaint by throwing vouchers to you.
But surprising i receive S$100 voucher from Starhub on the same day??? I guess God heard my voice knowing i need it more urgently due to such condition of my Motorola V3i. And i got myself a Samsung U700 on that Sunday. And guess how much, i only paid S$98 after discount of S$100. A great saving....

What we call Singaporean Kiasuism & Complaint Master
Was so busy with work and i hardly go online nowadays. Not much exciting stuff happens. Maybe one little funny stuff which i heard from client recently which i felt that, wah... typical Singaporean Kiasu and "Kian Peng".
My client told me last week he dropped his phone into the toilet bowl. His screen was flikering and he knew is a matter of time his phone will leave him. So coincidently Singtel called him up to promote a plan to him which is less off S$8 on his bill every month for 2 years. He took this opportunity to make a complain about the customer service person by saying: " Can you check and take a look what plan i'm using and my usage before u decide what plan you want to promote to me. What is $8? i'm not keen with the $8 but more on the entire package and the call out mins. I'm very disappointed with your service. I want to terminate my line. I can't deny that he is actually using the corporate plan and his bill was like more than $100 per month so to Singtel he is one of them Singtel will like to retain. So the poor CS guy apologised and commit that he will returned his call before 6pm once he talk to his manager. But too bad, he didnt so my dear client wrote a complaint letter in.
So i asked his, whats your purpose? And he told me, i want to get the Singtel voucher to buy a new phone. -_-|||
Haiz... Typical Singaporean complaint king......... And i pity the poor CS guy...
While saying this, i realised i wrote a complaint letter last week to City Cab as well. Extract below..

Feedback of the taxi ride 15 Sept 8.45pm - SHA799D Lim Soo Peng
To Whom it may concern,
I would like to express our concern on the taxi ride and the series of unfortunate events happened on last Saturday 15 Sept 2007. We felt it necessary to make our feelings known in view of the poor service we received despite current effort to raise Singapore Service standards.
My friend on board of a cab at Ang Mo Kio St 32 and told the driver to go to Bishan St. 24 before going to our final destination at Mohd Sultan. When I finally managed to get on board at Bishan, for some reason my friend forgot to inform the driver we still need to go to Junction 8 to collect some cakes thus we informed him immediately. We told the driver to wait at the taxi stand infront of junction 8 while my friend was rushing to the bakery store to collect the items. During the waiting period when I was sitting in the cab, I felt the driver impatient and questioning me how long my friend will take, which I did explained to him that she needs to walk to the basement thus might need some time. Afterwhich, my friend gave a call that she is waiting at the bus stop in front of the MRT station thus will like the driver to drive further down to pick her up. Upon making a request, the driver refused to move and mentioned that he was not allowed to wait at the bus stop as there is some fence blocking. I do understand his concerned but I felt the tone was extremely rude. When I told the taxi driver to drive a bit nearer to the bridge near the bus stop while my friend was waiting there, he refused again to move the car as his explanation was there is a lot of passengers waiting and he did not want to block the oncoming taxi. He insisted my frien to walk towards the car instead. When my friend finally board the cab, she was asking myself what was the problem for all the delay, but instead of myself given a chance to explain to my friend, the taxi shouted at my friend that there wasn't any problem at all since he doesn't know my friend. He felt that we did not informed him that he needs to travel numerous location. He did mentioned again that time was wasted in Junction 8 while waiting for my friend. We asked him that if he is not willing to travel from St 24 to juntion 8, he should made known to us earlier but not expressed his unhappiness at the taxi stand which almost 2-3 minutes wasted there making all the unnecessary argument. All in all, I do agreed and understand his concern for the traffic rules but I felt that he should not raise his voice at us and felt that all the argument can be avoided which resulted to some unhappiness to both parties. Being a customer, I believe we should receive some respect and should there be any constraint or problem, he should flagged to us earlier but not by raising the voice at the customer showing all the unhappiness.
I have note down the car plate number and the driver name for your necessary action. We urge you to look into this matter and treat all passengers equally. Every paying customers deserve good and responsible service.

Shuqi

Dear Ms Lim
I refer to your email as attached and am dismayed to learn about your unpleasant encounter.
We agreed that the driver's attitude is unacceptable. As a transport provider, he ought to comply with passengers' requests and deliver the service in a professional manner. The driver had failed to render the service as expected of him. We will penalise him with a warning for his poor service and will include this complaint in his service record for us to monitor his performance closely.
Once again, we extend our sincerest apologies for any frustration caused over this incident. We will continue to reinforce measures to push up service levels by our taxi drivers.
Yours sincerely

韩剧《真的，真的喜欢你》
This show is quite cute. Quite amazed by the acting of the little girl in the show. Though a bit draggy and slow in the middle, but is worth to wait till the last part of the show.
《真的，真的喜欢你》与别的电视剧的不同在于这是描写青瓦台里照顾总统一家起居生活的一群人的故事。
第一次在荧屏上展现了外人看来是禁忌的地方里工作的一群人的生活。
虽然以青瓦台为主要背景，但这部电视剧的主角并非总统一家。电视剧注重的并不是总统和他的家人，而是数十年迎来和送走无数总统家人的、虽然在历史里存在，但是并没有表现出来的青瓦台的真正的主人们--- 总统的厨师和厨房里的阿姨们，木匠，摄影师等等。
他们在韩国最特殊的地方工作，他们认为自己做的菜，门框，或者一通电话都是代表着国家，因此他们和总统一样努力认真地去工作，这部电视剧想表现的就是他们的朴素，坚强的一面。
因此电视剧的更大意义在于表现认真努力地生活的普通人的空间，而不是青瓦台的权利或神秘。
學警出更
Just finish this show. I give them a rating of 4/5.
經過二十七週警校訓練，立文與柏翹等一眾學警終於passing out了。兩位新紮師兄被派到油麻地分區同一小隊，成為真正的警員。柏翹希望可以盡快成為督察，以報答亡父及好好照顧外祖父。為了可以盡快升職，柏翹嚴守警察通例，樣樣按本子辦事，不求有功但求無過。立文因為性格遠比柏翹來得衝動，對一個好警察的定義也不同，所以處事方法亦有別。
一次柏翹巡邏時截查一班蠱惑仔，結果因為經驗不足，被蠱惑仔頭目景峰戲弄到不知如何是好，結果事後還被景峰的手下傻強投訴，令柏翹要接受警方內部調查。柏翹為此耿耿於懷，怕事件已紀錄在案，影嚮晉升前途。
一次落更後，靄琳與立文剛巧遇到景峰、傻強等人形跡可疑，就拉著立文跟蹤景峰等，希望發現景峰傻強之罪証。時柏翹正在當值，發現二人行動，但立文去到已是太遲，只見靄琳被傻強以槍擊斃倒臥地上…
目睹靄琳中槍身亡，柏翹大受打擊，一時間對發生的事感到混亂無法接受。柏翹忍無可忍向立文爆發，認為立文要為靄琳之死負上全責，因柏翹覺得因為立文心紅想破案所以才會帶同靄琳去追查景峰等人，二人間已暗暗產生了芥蒂。
半年後，立文與柏翹仍然是油麻地分區的軍裝警員，始知原來半年前柏翹立文遇到的景峰正擔任臥底，現已立了大功所以升任為沙展，並調到二人環頭的軍裝巡邏小隊，成為二人的上司。
通常一般警員要做了軍裝小隊巡邏警員一年以上，才會被選中入機動部隊受訓成為「藍帽子」，但柏翹在半年後就向上司自薦要入營，因為入機動部隊是警員晉升一個必備的條件。而景峰因為新升任沙展，亦需要入機動部隊從新接受訓練。
三人需要面對為期十二週的嚴格訓練。立文與柏翹在小隊中明爭暗鬥，以爭奪機動部隊最佳警員為目標。機動部隊最講求的就是團隊精神，立文、柏翹的明爭暗鬥令到小隊的表現大受影響，教景峰大為頭痛。景峰亦不忍見到兩兄弟重蹈當日自己跟李sir的覆轍，為令二人和好，向柏翹講出當日並不是立文衝動所以累死靄琳…
後來機動部隊參與了一次世貿的行動，示威不單衝破了機動部隊的防線，亦令這對曾經反目的好朋友明白大家的友情是如何珍貴。終於，這次世貿行動不單令二人和好，還令二人變成更有默契、關係更緊密的好兄弟。
正當三人成為合作無間的機動部隊小隊時，柏翹開始不斷浮現靄琳死時的一幕，心理輔導醫生讓柏翹記起當日靄琳死的真相，柏翹竟不知如何面對…

Why we call guys are jerks!!!
How do you feel when u see this email converse.... To protect the person, i had replace all names to some famous Hollywood star. FYI, this is forward by someone...
--------------------------------
Jennifer Aniston:
Good Morning Will
Sorry, can I know yesterday what time we end our conversation?
Will Smith
Around 11.
Jennifer:
Did you talk to Brad last night after we spoke? He called me around 12am.
Do you remember what time he came back?
Will Smith
I went straight to bed after talking to you. I didn't came out from my room. I think he came back 15 mins before we ended our conversation.
Did he asked if you called me?
Jennifer:
No. Did he tell you anything about us?
U know what, he is telling lies again. Yesterday when he spoke to me about 12+, I asked him why he is calling me so late, he told me he talked 12+ to Katherine about the house renovation. He said he came back about "8.30" if I am not wrong, I remember when we ended our conversation is around 10 to 11+ and happen he came back, you remember.
I asked him whether Angelina has seen our car, he said yes, I purposely asked whether she "sit" in "my" car before, he said No. I will not tell him what we have shared, don't worry, this is our secret, just don't like the feeling she drive our car. I told Brad straight that I will not allow her to take my car, he then said she has her own car......but when he replied me he sounds like as though noting happen. He told me he will check with Jeff whether he is able to come back this weekend coz he might assist one of your colleagues on Dubai project, I said is fine if he don't have the heart to come back, I told him I am used to the life without him around. He asked me whether I am OK, I told him I am doing fine and strong w/God will. I told him God will also bless him whatever he has done if he think that is right and proper, he kept quiet. I told him Angelina must be missing him a lot, he kept quiet and try to change topic.
Somehow later, we talk about the house issue, I told him that Angelina don't ever think that she will get this house from me, I will not divorce, you know what Brad answered me, She is not like that, she is not a "materialistic" person....i shall see.. He asked when I want to come KL, I told him not at the moment, I told him he as a husband, he should be the one came back to visit me, not me visiting him, agreed?
When I start recalling all these non sense he has lied and created, I feel so sad for him.
Will Smith
No. Nowadays he never tell me about both of you.
When I talked to him this morning, he said he did not send the material boards yesterday instead he went out. I went out around 10 am and he was still at home doing his laundry.
When I came back yesterday at around 1 pm from church I saw Angelina's car parked in my parking lot ( I saw her car parked here before when I came back from work...later on after Brad told me he was seeing Angelina, he then said... that car is Angelina's car). So yesterday Brad has used his car so they can go out together.
Jennifer Aniston
So what do you think they are doing in your house while you are out????
Will Smith
We brought back the material boards this morning...he droved his car.
The first time I saw Angelina's car here...Brad said they were at the swimming pool talking. But I know there were a few times Angelina came to my unit because whenever I came back from work the house light is on and my sofa cushion is not in the proper places. I don't know what have they done.
Jennifer Aniston
Will, he told me he went to the office to return the material boards, so is different what you are telling me. I am really very disappointed what Brad did to me. I am going to turn mad.

名揚四海
I was packing my cupboard today when i saw a book which i bought a few years ago. This was actually from the Taiwan drama 名揚四海. It was a touching story which cover on friendship, love, family... It touched my heart especially the female character in the show 羅美麗 which resemble me so much years ago. Those who watch the show before will understand...
--------------------------------
像許多南部的年輕人一樣，我與石頭對台北這個城市也充滿了嚮往之情；也許是因為迷惑於她表象的繁華，也許是期望在更多更好的工作機會中一展身手，或者，也許只是單純地為了一圓兒時的夢想，我們收拾了行囊，告別親人與家鄉，搭上列車，置身於這個陌生又熟悉的都會之中。
我叫羅美麗，廿六歲，剛被一家大型綜合醫院錄取為實習醫師。石頭是與我從小一塊長大的好朋友，是我見過最善良、最聰明又最體貼的男孩子。只是，他當我是無話不談的哥兒們，我卻當他是暗戀多年的青梅竹馬——我生性好強，但對於愛情，卻始終不夠勇敢。
其實我們已經有幾個朋友早在台北發展了。楊寶樂，POLO，因為有個財力雄厚的議員老媽，所以他可以有恃無恐地盡情朝向「五年內賺三億」的理想邁進。據說他在北上的這三年內，已經投資過葡式蛋塔、珍珠奶茶、麻辣火鍋，還有現在最熱門的網咖……。雖然後來我們才知道，每一家從未撐過三個月。不過POLO實在是一個好人，他總是熱心幫助朋友，從不注重細節，個性非常隨和，隨和到光從電話得知一棟叫「高集公寓」的爛房子要出租，看也不看，就立刻幫我們付了押金，害我們後悔也來不及。
魏淑枝，我想台北這裡的人都叫她GIGI，她高中畢業後就來台北，沒幾年，變成我們這些朋友之間最風光的人，廣告、代言、名人社交，很快的就變成所謂的名女人。聽說她有上百雙的鞋子，曾遠赴美國修習服裝設計，還聽說他老爸是船公司的大老闆——不過我真正認識的淑枝，還是那個留著兩條辮子的漂亮女生。當然，我們跟她在鹽田做工的爸爸都理解，她在媒體宣稱的那些家世背景，只是在台北生活的一種必要保護。但我也知道，她才是石頭唯一喜歡的人。石頭在五星級飯店的鑽石發表會上遇見淑枝，但忙於應付記者的淑枝沒機會跟石頭多聊，只匆匆留下一張手機號碼。偏偏石頭在熱心助人的同時，也把那張紙條給弄濕了，經過幾番週折，才終於又跟淑枝聯絡上——那時正是淑枝因介入婚外情，被搞得最不堪的時候，石頭的出現，成了她在徬徨無助中最大的依靠。我就這麼在一旁眼巴巴地看著石頭墜入愛河，直到淑枝在療傷止痛後突然飄然離去，再出面扮演哥兒們的角色，為石頭加油打氣。
我們還有一個很早就離開我們到台北的朋友，陳峰。他長的和我們不太一樣，很黑，很好看，後來我們都知道因為他有原住民血統。陳峰有一顆很悲傷的心，可是我們從來沒有看過他的眼淚。國中時，他那當清道夫的爸爸被一輛轎車帶走了生命，我們都以為這應該是陳峰最悲傷的一件事，但結果不是，他的悲傷早就已經存在，從他母親教他唱的那首歌就可以聽得出來——他的母親從部落被賣給他的聾啞父親之後，為了承擔一家人的生活，出賣自己的肉體，最後慘死於旅館陋室的床上……。陳峰就這樣帶著遺傳自父親缺陷的妹妹陳真與那些不堪的過去，淡入又淡出我們的生活，卻在我最要好的朋友燕如心裡，留下一段遺憾又甜蜜的記憶。
燕如是石頭的姊姊，因為身體的關係晚讀一年，所以和我跟石頭同班。雖然她體弱多病，可是我卻認為，在這一群朋友中，沒有人比她堅強、勇敢。燕如沒跟我們一起上台北打拼，因為她顧及母親早逝，為了陪伴父親，選擇留在家鄉，父女一起守著那一家小書店。
燕如的媽媽在過世前是個音樂老師，發掘了陳峰的音樂才華，願意免費教陳峰鋼琴；從此，石頭與POLO在球場鬥牛少了個對手，卻讓燕如多了個練琴與聊天的對象，兩人還秘密地談了一場很像偶像劇的戀愛。直到國三的某個夏日午後，陳峰沒來上課，燕如趕到陳峰家，卻發現那裡早已人去樓空；另一端，陳峰在燕如家門口焦急等著，最後在父親的催促下，只好把手中的那封信塞到信箱裡去，匆忙離開。但信箱門不知是誰忘了關，那封薄薄的信滑到地上，又被風給刮去，吹啊吹的，從此就跟他們兄妹一樣，失去了蹤影。
還好，我們來到台北；還好，陳峰剛好是音響店的師傅；還好，燕如上台北來檢查身體並探望我們；還好，我們公寓裡有個音響壞掉的胖子（唯一比較不好的是，他也是我的頂頭上司，還很不要臉地愛上我，更糟的是，我後來也愛上他）——於是，我們這六個闊別十年的死黨，終於又在距故鄉幾百公里之外、擁有兩百多萬人口的台北重逢。陳峰和燕如、石頭和淑枝、或者應該把石頭身邊的我和燕如身邊的POLO也加進去，我們這些塵封的愛情也將又重新開始……。
只是，十年的時間畢竟不短，步入成人世界的我們，在不知不覺中都有了變化。
陳峰個性好像比以前更深沈了。他把自己壓在一個莫名其妙的悲劇裡，走不出、逃不掉。二十幾年來，只學會了對一切麻木，包括上天恩賜與他的音樂天賦，以及感情。他數次拒絕一位音樂教授的專業指導，只為了應付眼前的生活壓力；他依舊深愛燕如，卻因無法放下的自卑、為保護妹妹而傷人的前科，還有身邊那個一直默默守候的女孩，安琪——而使得這段戀情益加糾纏難解。
他們三個人愛得很辛苦，在一旁單戀燕如的POLO也不好受，就像我一樣。淑枝對石頭始終若即若離，其實嚴格說起來，應該是，她始終未曾接受過石頭的感情；但石頭也不在意，始終對淑枝全心付出。我不知道自己算不算上嫉妒，只知道我總是跟著石頭的情緒起伏，有時在看診的空檔無緣無故就哭了起來，嚇壞一旁的護士與胖子。不過這種情況並不是常常發生啦，我們畢竟都是聰明人，不會因為感情而被沖昏頭，忘記我們到台北真正的目的。在幾次的試煉後，我以能力向院方證明，女生依然可以用細心與毅力，克服先天體力的不足，成為手術房的要角；石頭則如願進入一家理想中的企業，以他一貫的誠懇與智慧在明爭暗鬥的體制中走出一條坦途；POLO後來也看清自己的能力，不再浮沈於不切實際的投資空想，與石頭一起並肩作戰（我是說得比較委婉啦，其實他們兩個還曾經為了堅持各自的立場，差點反目成仇）；淑枝居高不下的知名度雖然始終與實際成就成反比，即使她後來選擇了一宗充滿暴力的婚姻，依然是眾人焦點；而陳峰，也在燕如和陳真的鼓勵下，終於面對自己的能力，逐漸在音樂界綻放光芒……。
燕如因為陳峰，後來也上台北來了，但此時她卻發現了她的生命中，一個被隱瞞廿六年的秘密。
花蓮監獄，21468，吳永森出獄。花蓮的豔陽，在告訴著吳永森，他終於自由了。二十六年了，他終於自由了……。
回憶進到二十六年前的一個夜裡，那一年吳永森才二十二歲，他太太再過幾天就要生他們的第一個孩子。他們每天都很喜悅，很快樂，但是快樂並不能解決他們的問題。他是個不識字的南部農夫，和妻結婚之後，搬來台北，希望能給未來的孩子一個好的環境，讓他們可以不用再過苦日子。但一樁意外，使前去向友人借錢的他被誤認為殺人犯，當他倉皇逃回到家，還來不及跟妻子解釋任何話，警察已經追到——帶頭的刑警為了阻止他逃走，開了一槍，卻誤殺一心想保護他的妻子。
在混亂的司法世界裡，被證據不全仍誤關了二十六年之後，假釋出獄的他，一心只想找到那個開槍的刑警，殺了他們全家為妻報仇。在獄中學會認字的他，查遍所有線索，終於得知當年那名姓林的刑警，已經辭職，搬至南部，現在有一子一女都在台北。但他不知道的是，當年他妻子肚裡的孩子，奇蹟而意外的被救活，而且被愧疚的林姓刑警秘密的帶走，因為不希望這個女孩長大後發現親生父親是個殺人強盜犯，刑警帶著她遠離台北，為她取名叫燕如……。
他前往台北，一面精心策劃復仇行動，並投靠與他相處兩年、情同父子的牢中獄友，陳峰……。
我無法以短短的這篇文章細數這其間痛苦的糾葛，但我可以告訴你，我們就像所有人一樣，在經歷感情和職場的挫折、成功與失敗後，都會長大、成熟，也逐漸體會人生的箇中滋味，不管它的結局是苦，是甜。但這就是我們的故事，我的朋友。我永遠都會記得這些朋友、這些年，還有後來成為總裁的石頭每次演講最常拿來當開場的一句話：「我不算是一個特別有成就的人，如果你們要問我是個什麼樣子的人？我覺得，我只是個永不放棄的南部小孩……！」

美麗．石頭分手篇
十二歲那年
妳媽媽過世
你們全家人都好傷心
我到你家去
想要安慰你
結果你沒有哭
反而是我哭得很傷心
你還安慰我
從那時候開始
我就好喜歡你
可是在那以前你已經喜歡GIGI
如果真的有下一輩子
我一定會跑GiGi的前面
在你還沒有看到她的時候
就死纏著你不放
可是這輩子
已經來不及了
生命的安排就是這樣
老天爺安排我們在一起
其實是為了要告訴你
你到底有多愛GIGI
我很高興
你說要永遠跟我在一起
我會永遠記得
可是我不可以沒有耳朵
不可以沒有眼睛
看不見你最愛的人其實是GIGI
現在我們回到了起點
有一天
你就會發現
為什麼那一天
你沒有辦法面對我
說要和我在一起
石頭！
勇敢去愛你的愛
就好像我愛妳一樣
從今天開始
我們就是好朋友
很好很好的朋友
就像以前一樣！
不要再三心二意了好不好？
I was there too @ 101 last April 2007. I'm glad that i had thought through and ended everything. I had put a stop to it and lead a brand new life. :)
Bangkok Trip
Want to upload some of my pix from my recent Bangkok Trip. Overall, it was a fruitful and enjoyable trip. Will look forward to my next holiday hopefully in December. Fingers crossed xxx
NANA
I bought this DVD last friday @ HMV. Cost me $32 bucks. I saw this movie when i was @ Taiwan in April. Did not catch the whole show but it was a nice movie and the songs caught my attention. NANA 2 DVD will be out soon. Will look out for it. Added 2 songs in my playlist: Endless Story & Glamourous Sky. Enjoy...
-------------------------------
娜娜與奈奈(日文發音Nana)──兩個20歲的同名少女，因一次巧遇而展開了與別不同的人生。NANA是搖擺音樂女子，冷酷有型，夢想是成為著名的搖滾歌手；小松奈奈則是平凡女子，嬌俏可愛，人生以戀愛為上。性格、思考如此對立的兩個少女卻被命運安排成為室友，一起生活，情同姊妹，但漸漸兩個NANA各自有了戀愛的新天地，兩人的友情與理想，開始面臨重大考驗...
《NANA》改編自日本「少女漫畫教主」矢澤愛的同名作品，這部漫畫不僅在日本大賣，並且還在亞、歐、美各地暢銷一時。原作雖然是少女漫畫，但由片中故事也反映出真實背景：娜娜來自破碎家庭，堅強獨立的她是一位渴望一舉成名的搖滾樂手。天真可愛的奈奈則是朵溫室小花，在她的小天地裡只有她的男友。儘管各處極端，命運卻叫這兩位女孩子相遇。她倆一起經歷友情、愛情、夢想和現實之間的種種問題，反映出真實世界裡日本年輕女性的心理起伏。電影以不少搖滾樂曲為背景音樂，強勁的節奏令電影增添動感。
電影中的兩位靈魂人物娜娜和奈奈，分別由中島美嘉和宮崎葵擔綱主演。為了劇中角色需要，中島美嘉更不惜把將長髮剪成短短龐克頭，如果光看全身造型部分，她已經有大崎娜娜化身的感覺。其他演員如松田龍平、玉山鐵二等也非常酷似漫畫中人物，達成如此夢幻的組合，令NANA迷既滿意又期待。

溏心風暴
I Just finishing watching this show. Highly recommended.
-----------------------------
上環文咸西街「唐記海味舖」在業界享負盛名，由一間小小老舖，發展成坐擁六億資產及物業之海味生意。坐擁數億身家的唐仁佳及正室凌巧，一家九口，為名副其實之草根富戶，故唐家並無豪門的冷漠疏離，反之一家和諧融洽。而主力維繫家庭溫馨的，正是唐家兩父子 - 人稱「大鮑細鮑」的唐仁佳及唐至安。
三十年前，佳把安拾回來收養，安生性豁達，從未為養子身份自卑，反之全心全意幫忙打理海味舖生意，亦把唐家上下當作自己親家人，對唐家事無大小盡心盡力，對自己的身世有著感恩的心。佳亦一直視安如己出，父子二人感情深厚。安「遺傳」了佳的個性，兩父子目標一致：努力令唐家齊齊整整，落力以歡樂感染全家。
佳性格和稀泥，家中各事望以和為貴，大事化小，一直致力建立一個既窩心又貼心之家。然佳身邊一個不容忽視的女人 - 王秀琴，卻為唐家埋下不少暗湧。琴為佳有實無名的妾侍，而佳之正室巧，持家有道，以理服人，深受唐家上下尊敬，唐家大小事項均以巧為最終「裁決人」；琴表面對巧恭敬順從，與巧情如親姊妹，內心卻對巧怨恨。
佳性格隨遇而安，對海味舖之生意不太著緊。而巧多年來與癌病抗爭，先後誕下兒子至逸及女兒至欣，一邊忙於照顧子女，一邊又為養病而奔波，海味舖之生意全交由親妹凌莉打理。莉多年前曾遇感情騙子，落得人財兩空，從此不再相信男人，只寄情工作，為海味舖出心出力，唐家由一間小舖發展成今日六億身家，全歸功於莉一人。但莉心中從無對唐家財產虎視眈眈，小心眼的琴卻一直認為莉有心分一杯羹，兩個女人面和心不和，經常勾心鬥角。
