Hey, I just realised that exactly 7 months ago on Oct 16th at a super ulu photoshoot studio, I met this amazing girl. She, at that time, was only known to me as 师姐. Naturally i assumed her to be a diva of sorts, with stunning vocals and loads of experience in the scene. Maybe my expectations was a little high, haha, but she did not disappoint with her rendition of "Fly me to the moon". To be honest, at that point in time I thought, hey, she's quite attractive, guys like me probably have no chance.
Looking back, we've been together for a whole month already. =)
Its been an awesome month, with a few hiccups here and there, but still awesome.
Dear, I love you and that's all that I actually wanna say (Gosh, I sat in front of the comp for like 30mins thinking of what to type when its just so simple). I might feel tired at times, but even simple stuffs like sending you back has always been a joy and I always look forward to it, though sometimes my wallet is a little more reluctant, haha.. And though its.. (darn i lost my train of thought).. hmm.. oh ya, and though it might be a little tight on my finances, I'm more than willing to give up stuffs-to-buy so that we can have better food! (Foodie moments)
Well, you know I'm not a person of many words and the things I wanna say to you cant be expressed in words either, so I'll just say that i hope to know you better in the time to come and also to be your best friend as well! =)
Happy 1st month, dear!

Relationships
Nope I'm not being emo or anything.. Its just a thought that crosses my mind and I set to pondering about it.
and no I'm not specifically talking about You, yes you with that amazing grin on your face.. =)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To me, Relationships will inevitably cross paths with another R word, Responsibility. Having been in 2 past relationships, I've realised that while Love is the seed and can be the driving force of a relationship, it is usually not enough to sustain it. Some may say, "Here's where effort comes in". Yes, I do agree that effort does count for a huge chunk in making a relationship work, but it falls short of a purpose if Responsibility doesnt come into play.
Responsibility (in a relationship) is to understand what you have to do, what you mean to the other person and putting in the effort to stick to it, no? Its kinda like acting out a role in a play/musical for example. You know your position and how it affects the other characters, and you drive effort into getting it right just so that the other characters can perform their role seamlessly as well.
So what's our responsibility as a guy? (Keep an open mind as I'm just sharing my point of view)
Firstly, I hope this doesnt sound chauvinistic but guys werent made to carry his lady's bag. He is made to carry her through in times of sickness and trouble, sharing the burden of emotions with her, helping her get rid of the deadweight from any pain and hurt in her life. This sounds like a role of a best friend, but hey, if you cant be best friends in a relationship, then what are you? In the song of Jason Mraz, he wrote "Lucky I'm in love with my best friend.", isnt that just perfect? And if you're not a best friend in her eyes, start working towards being one!
I believe our second responsibility is to be patient. Not the ones that goes into wards cos their wife hits them, haha.. (Ok that was lame).. Trust me, for most guys out there with their raging hormones and stuff, this is actually really hard to achieve.. I mean, even if a person is patient, there's got to be a eventual limit. My point here isnt on acquiring an everlasting patience, its on knowing when you have reached your limit, and how you go about sharing with your partner. (This is based on personal experience as I once stubbornly refused to admit reaching my patience limit and it has cost me a relationship in the past) Learning to ration out your patience is very important ( I dont claim to be able to do it but i'm learning!).
R.E.S.P.E.C.T., find out what it means to me! Haha, this one I got from my dear friend Ning (Look! I credited you!).. I have to totally agree with this.. Respect comes in many forms, or rather, you can respect a person for many things/reasons.. In context, however, respect comes in the form of treating each other as equals, that both of you are human beings after all with strengths and weaknesses.. Which means (putting it into a more blatant manner), guys, dont always assume that your girl cant do everything by herself, or to be constantly cautious whenever you're around your girl cos you feel that she might not be able to take any joke you throw at her (I got this insight from a certain P&J I know)..
Commitment (from my best friend Ian), with a pinch of salt (from me, haha).. I'll be damn honest and say that most guys cant control their eyes, even i'm guilty of that sometimes, but I know my heart stays in a single place, and that I'll always be committed to that one special person in my life.. So what i'm trying to say here is to be open about it, even talk it out.. Cos its only natural for guys to look at girls or the other way round, dont judge, simply trust each other and you'll find yourself less miserable.. Well, maybe unless its down right oogling then I suppose the girl would have the right to smack the daylights outta ya.. hehz..
For You with that amazing smile, I want to promise you these things and more and hope that all things will work out in the end for us.. =)
Somehow, this whole post sounds like a self-help book.. lolx.. didnt intend for it to be this way, but if somehow it helps anyone out there, do drop me a text at the chatbox if it works out for you..
P.S Sometimes I just wanna follow the lyrics of Leona Lewis's Bleeding Love:
"But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don't know the truth"
But thats just irresponsible.. ah well..
and no I'm not specifically talking about You, yes you with that amazing grin on your face.. =)

Romantic
Someone has just said the most common phrase in the most romantic manner that I thought I'd never hear
"I wouldnt mind watching movies in your room" just so that we can save up more
You have truly made my day with that one simple line.. =)

Shaw Premiere Theatre Review and Movie Review: Rabbit Hole.
我很荣幸的被邀请去 Rabbit Hole 的电影首映以及 Shaw Theatre @ Nex 的首映礼。
与我一起同去的有 Peter, Joanne 和 Jessica 一般人。到了地点时已经有蛮多人，
大多数也和我们一样是来之于 OMY 的部落客写作家 (不懂这样写对不对 哈哈)。
很可惜的，没办法拍到戏院里面的布置，因为 Shaw Theatres 的管理人不应许，但
他们说会寄给我们一些能让我们用的照片。好啦，接下来让我来为 Rabbit Hole 做
个简介吧!
Rabbit Hole 这一个故事环绕着一个家庭，也其实在述说他们在失去唯一一个儿子
之后所经过的过程。故事里的女主角(Nicole Kidman)，也是家庭里的妈妈，在失去
儿子了之后想把关于他所有的记忆都毁了，不然她一个人在家总是意想到儿子生前
的情景，使得她很痛苦。那在另一方面，男主角(Aaron Eckhart) 因太太的行为感
到反感。他认为不能这样就当做没事情，而要勇敢的向前，经常带着太太去小组做
辅导，反而造成两人之间的摩擦。
那在故事进展之下，两人都各找到了一位能让"死"的重担减轻一些，一位是在小组的
成员，另一位却是在街上碰巧见到的高中男孩。最后呢，这一对夫妻就以身旁的人
的鼓励脱节了心里面的难关。我认为这部戏的关键人物是 Danny，也就是死去的那
位儿子。导演透过这部戏的发展让观众慢慢的更加了解 Danny 的故事，生活的过程
与习惯，死亡的细节这些小小的详情，让我觉得我好像情自认识 Danny 一样。
接下来我会为 Shaw Theatres 做个介绍，也其实是这次写部落客的主题。服务方面，
真的是很棒，招待人不只细心，也很周到。电影开始的时候有出了一点点的问题，
但管理人都控制的很好。在新的 Premiere Theatres 里，其实非常的舒服，位子很
宽，真的让我感觉到和家没两样。他们也提供了新的棉被，好温馨也正好，因为我还没病好，穿着长袖衣还不够。可能太舒服了，我差一点睡着，哈哈。
食物方面也不赖，不只好吃，连价钱也很合理。虽然 Shaw 把新的 Premiere Theatres 称为
豪华的，但以我所度过的这一次，就让我认为它真的在豪华之上!
Oh, 我忘了，可能有 人会问到为什么 Shaw 会给它取名为 Premiere Theatres? 那就因为 Premiere 代表着"首"，也特意的代表着只有少数的人有机会当"首"。这显得 Premiere 有多独家，有多高档。为了配合 Premiere 所有的高档，里面的服务几设备当然就不能少啦! 想体验一下看电影能多豪华却不必花上太多钱的话，就来一来 Shaw @ Nex 体会吧! =)

Appreciation
今天可算是过得不错吧。虽然我认为今天的 Showcase 真的不到我所要的水准，但我
也不能不说一声谢谢给予EME的朋友们，那么的支持我和 Jessica 的演出。我希望
在下一次能真正的把心中的音乐展现给他们。 =)
不能忘了他们所送给我的这只超可爱的 Bugs Bunny!
昨天我在唐城坊与 Jessica 为 Shanice, Dayan 和 Joseph 主持了一小段的节目。
虽然说是完全没有机会去练习，但我认为那一场的节目可以算勉强过关。这不代表
着我就因此能放轻松，我还要加倍的努力去学习。加油! 同时间也要感谢唐城坊的
management 所给我的一件小小的礼物，也就是今年本地的一部电影 "大世界" 的纪念品。
说到了这部电影呢，它是讲述新加坡历史中的一栋 "娱乐地点"。大约在三十到四十
年代的其中一个很热闹的地方，就像我们现在的乌节路(不懂有没有写错)，是个男
女老少都去的地方。虽然我们现在已看不到了，但它就是我历史的一部分，也应该
在某一方面对我们的父母有影响吧?
好啦，今天到此。差不多要过新年了，你们准备好了吗? =)
在新的一年必定有新的希望，我也要祝贺大家心想事成，万事如意，过个好兔年!

Musical Dreams and its Sacrifices
Ok I'm just gonna do a simple intro here before starting up the entire blog. I started this blog to push myself to improve, esp in the Chinese language as I know its not my stronger language (considering the fact that I only know 2 main languages). And as well as try to bring more of my opinions and thoughts on music and whatever other topics to the public. Yep, thats all I have to say. Well, here goes..
最近我读到了一个文章，说到"选择什么最重要?"。让我先把她所写的 放给你们看吧。
我报 2011年1月12日
小妹在这家公司工作已经有七年了，一切很安定。然而，也就因为一切都很安定，
总觉得少了些什么。
她今年30岁，想趁着自己还年轻，尝试在不同的领域里闯一闯，再去进修，或找一
份让自己更有满足感，更热爱，更体现价值的工作。
无奈的是，面对眼前的安定，又使得她担心放弃了现在所拥有的，以后难以再回到
这么舒适的状态中。
Sis Shenton 我也曾经面对这样的心态，也曾经非常地挣扎。改变，需要放下的勇
气；不改变，似乎又对不起自己的梦想与追求。到底该如何选择呢?
选择让生命注入激情
其实，选择人生的路并不是轻而易举的，因为每个人的生命只有一次。选择是一个
起点，也是命运的转折。一旦选定，就不要后悔，坚定的走下去。
所以，若你想实现自己的人生价值，做出明确的选择是必要的，只有选择才能给自
己寻找前进的方向，只有选择才会让生命不断注入激情。
在选择时，尽量别把眼界局限在眼前否则只会让自己更加裹足不前。
要学会放眼未来，避免陷入短视的误区。如果你只是为了每个月的薪水而工作，没
有其他更高尚的目标，那你也许一辈子也就这样平平庸庸地过着。
不断改进提高身价
很多人开始第一份工作时，靠的是学历和才华。当我们累积了一定的资本之后再去
寻找工作，那时靠的就是自己的身价。
什么身价呢?就是你之前在公司的经验累积和人脉累积。只要多学多做，就能提高身
价。一个愿意谦卑，不断改进的人，他的能力，工作态度，负责任的精神都将会为
他带来很大的收获。
确立自己追寻的目标
正如一个不断改进的老板，不但会感染自己的与他一同改变日常的工作，还能让他
的事业更蒸蒸日上。
看这个时代，人才流动这么快，没有人知道自己在公司能待多久。就算是现在公司
的效益好，薪水高，也不能因此而放弃了自己当初的目标。
要在工作中寻求更大的发展，就必须要有不断提升自己的目标，这样你才能更快地
成长。
在选择时，一定要知道对自己来说什么才是最重要的，更要清楚自己的人生价值观。
有了人生价值观，就不会像没有方向盘的车。主动放弃那些可有可无，不触及生命
意义的东西，勇敢追求生命中最有价值，最纯粹的东西。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
写了这么多，认识我的朋友们应该还蛮惊讶吧，也应该会想到 "天啊，第一次看到Stephen
写华文，而且写了这么长"。实话说，我打出这文章时花了很多时间，也的确不容易，
但我有心想加强我的华语程度，来更推进我的主持能力。也就像文章里所说的，"正
如一个不断改进的老板，不但会感染自己的与他一同改变日常的工作，还能让他的
事业更蒸蒸日上。" 我就因此要进步。最近也看到了Dayan所付出的努力和牺牲，我
只能说我现在所作的根本比不上。但我还是会继续加油的! =)
