安全的距离

人与人之间都会有一个所谓“安全的距离”。
只要是在安全距离之外，两个人就能在毫无压力的状态下，轻松地，愉快地相处及交流。
但是，一旦跨越了这个安全距离，彼此之间便存在着伤害对方的可能性，压力也随之而来。
担心自己伤害对方，也担心自己被对方伤害。
在这样的状态下，相处及交流将不再轻松，愉快。
取而代之的是猜忌，不满。
所有过往的美好时光将成为往事，感情的基础也将一步步地遭到破坏。
到了这个时候，只有两个选择。
一是彼此退到安全距离之外，过往的亲密就成为尘封的回忆，不再提起。
快乐成了禁区
甜蜜成了禁语
曾经的浓情蜜意也只能成了点水之交。
二是拒绝退步，让两个人所有的努力和付出都化为乌有，甚至变质。
快乐变成了恐惧。
甜蜜变成了苦涩。
曾经的亲密变成了永远无法跨越的距离。

如果有一天，你发现你和她已跨越了这个安全距离，你会选择哪一个呢？

o我选择后者。

You're my Solskjaer, my Ole Solskjaer

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, one of my favourite footballers ever, announced his retirement on the 27th August 2007. Despite not being a fan of Man Utd, I've been following his career ever since he made his debut in 1996 and scoring against Blackburn Rovers, ironically my favourite club. During his career spanning from 1996 to 2007, Solskjaer would be remembered for a number of things.

1. Baby-faced assassin
Solskjaer will probably be the one and only "baby-faced assassin" in the history of football. Hidden behind his boyish looks is a critical finisher who, more often than not, makes his chances count. Unlike Andy Cole, who is famously known for requiring 3 chances to score a goal, Solskjaer is efficiency personified. Given his ability to convert his chances effectively, it was a shame that Solskjaer spent a significant part of his Man Utd career on the bench. If he was given the luxury of a starting berth in the majority of matches like Van Nistelrooy in the past, he might very well become one of the top scorers in Man utd history. His time on the bench brings us to the next thing he will be remembered for, as a...

2. Super-sub
Solskjaer is well-known for being the trump card in Sir Alex ferguson's sleeve when the tide is against his team. Who will ever forget the night at Nou Camp in 1999 when Solskjaer stamped his name among the Man Utd legends with his winning goal against Bayern Munich in the dying seconds of the game? Or his heroics of scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup against arch-rivals Liverpool after coming off the bench? Or his 4 goals performance against Nottingham Forest after coming on as a substitute? One reason highlighted by Ferguson for Solskjaer's amazing ability to make an impact off the bench is the fact that Solskjaer was constantly studying the match as it progressed, his mind being on the pitch though his body wasn't, which may explain his ability to adapt quickly to the tempo of the game after coming on. His super-sub status, however, might have brought him a dilemma in terms of his career choice and his decision proved that Solskjaer is a...

3. true Red Devil
Given his predatory instincts, it came as no surprise that clubs in England and abroad would love to give him a place in the starting 11 which he rightfully deserved. However, Solskjaer resisted the temptation to move and stayed at Old Trafford when many other footballers would have moved in search of first team football. Why did he stay? Is it his gratitude for Sir Alex? Is it his love for the Old Trafford faithful? Whichever the reasons, by making such a decision, Solskjaer proved himself to be a true Red Devil and the professionalism he displayed, when compared to the prima donnas in the Premier League today, has to be respected and applauded.

Overall, from a personal point of view, even though Solskjaer have officially retired from the game, he will always remain one of my favourite footballers of all time. But don't bet of Solskjaer slipping off the football radar as I have a sneaking suspicion that Solskjaer may step into management in future. Considering that ex-Man Utd players such as Mark Hughes, Roy Keane, Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson and Steve Coppell have all made the transition from players to managers with varying degrees of success, it will be no surprise if Solskjaer is the next in line, where his ability to study the game from the sidelines may prove invaluable as a manager who can turn the tide of a game just like Sir Alex. Solskjaer as a Man Utd manager someday? Sounds good to me :p

忘不了的记忆

换了新的手机
没把妳的号码输入机里
是故意
想让时间冲淡对妳的记忆

可惜当妳生日来临
恍然发现一切只是自欺
妳的生日我没忘记
妳的号码仍留在记忆里，挥之不去

是时间不够充裕？
还是自己不够坚定？
越想忘记妳
越发觉忘记妳谈何容易

不想再勉强自己
毕竟回忆有苦涩也有甜蜜
或许无法忘记
只证明自己还是爱着妳

珍惜眼前的快乐

别以为友情是无坚不摧，也别对友情抱着绝对的信心与期望。因为期望越大，失望越大。没有谁不会抛弃谁，也没有谁肯定会帮助谁。珍惜眼前的快乐，不管未来如何，至少彼此都曾真心无私地付出过。其实不止友情如此，爱情也是如此，不是吗？

开心就好

放弃未必是懦弱
总好过钻牛角尖，死不放手
放下不应靠勇气
应该是顺其自然，无需刻意

每个人在一生中都会有想放弃什么或放下什么的时候。其实，不管是放弃或放下，不应该勉为其难，因为这样只会更无法放弃，更放不下。顺其自然，你会在不知不觉中发现你已经放弃你所应该放弃的，放下你所想要放下的。至于该不该放弃，要不要放下，又是另外一个问题了。总而言之，开心就好。

我仍爱着

如果我注定不能幸福快乐
我会把孤独与寂寞当作我光荣的勋章
告诉所有的人
爱一个人不应该是因为害怕寂寞
爱一个人不应该是因为渴望被爱
相反的
爱妳让我接受寂寞
爱妳让我不必被爱
爱着妳的我，不再被妳所爱
爱着妳的我，因为爱妳而寂寞
但我仍爱着
因为我有幸真挚的，纯粹的爱妳
也有幸被自己如此爱着的妳所爱过
抱着这一丝苦涩的幸福
我仍爱着

My workplace :p

The entrance to my dreams and aspirations


Never imagined that I'll be working inside a corporate building :p

慧娴加油!

现在的我其实应该睡了，但是我好开心，因为慧娴成功通过翻身赛了!相信所有收看校园superstar 的观众都会对慧娴留下印象，因为她太可爱了!当然，慧娴也有一定的歌唱实力，只是有时会觉得她的唱腔过于成熟，与她可爱的外形有点格格不入。不过，慧娴还是我在这一届校园superstar里最喜欢的参赛者。我个人是觉得慧娴蛮适合唱杨承琳的歌曲，所以希望她在接下来的比赛中要慎选参赛歌曲，因为选对歌曲就已经成功了一半。虽然今晚因为工作而错过了慧娴的演唱，但是还好我来得及收看比赛结果。尽管因工作而累了一整天，我在听到慧娴成功进入下一圈时还是高兴得跳了起来，大喊大叫。开心嘛!哈哈哈!总而言之，经过翻身赛的洗礼，相信慧娴接下来的表现将会更加出色，更加令人期待。慧娴!我支持妳!要加油喔!

A summary of my past week or so

1. I had my foundation program from the previous thursday to the past wednesday. The class was really nice and friendly so does the trainers especially Grace who I thought had struck a good rapport with the class. Ros and Benjie were always fun to have around while the rest such as Jean, KK, Jieming, Jade, Faizal, Ali, Zac, Crystal...and many more had all been pleasant companions throughout the 5 days. During the 5 days, I've heard from Benjie and Crystal about their dreams. Benjie wants: a condo near IR and the upcoming F1 track, a holiday at Australia to eat huge and expensive crabs, a yatch at Monaco, a whole lot of vintage wines plus a few nice cars. Crystal wants a 5-room flat of her own as well as a European holiday by the end of the year. As for me, right now I just hope to clear my study loan and my parents' housing loan...the rest see how ba. Anyway glad to have known so many "comrades" in the industry and hope we can all make it to the Million Dollar Round Table soon enough!

2. I had my NUS commencement on 070707, the day which, according to the papers, was a lucky day to get married. How ironic coz while others were celebrating with their loved ones, whether it was at ROM or NUS, I was there alone. I invited her but till the end, as expected, she didn't appear. I thought that I would be really sad and depressed but I didn't. I guess I can see things in a more open light now and anyway I still have the best wishes from people who really care for me. Back to the ceremony, it was a fine occasion. Eunice Olsen was the guest speaker and I was shocked when she said she actually retook her 'A' Levels before coming to NUS. I was really filled with a sense of pride as I went up the stage to collect my scroll, which summed up my 10 over years of academic journey. There were highs and lows and I must admit that only after entering NUS then I felt that I was really learning about knowledge, not simply facts and numbers. Being in NUS was an enriching experience and though I was a little sad with not being able to go into Honours, I can encourage myself that I'm now going to step into the University of Life and hopefully I can do well, achieve my dreams and bring a little light and warmth to every person I come across.

3. As I am writing this, I am going for my 1st opening this evening at 6.45pm. I received words of encouragement from my comrades as well as some discouraging ones from my mum. nevertheless, one thing I've come to realise is that to achieve, I must be positive and not be put down by others. I am going to be the one to decide my own success or failure, not any other.

To Huiting: 嗨! 最近好吗？这几天看妳的blog，觉得妳好像是被一些感情的事所困扰，也看得出妳多姿多彩的校园生活。要开心喔! 我不是指在朋友面前的笑脸，而是发自内心的开心。喜欢小猪的人应该要快乐才对嘛，就像他努力的表演，也是希望所有小猪迷都能开开心心的。日子不管是开心或悲伤都是要过的，那么何不选择笑着面对呢？

Some of Thierry Henry's best goals

1. Arsenal vs Charlton
This goal is cheeky yet extremely difficult to execute. Lots of players attempted but failed. henry certainly didn't.



2. Real Madrid vs. Arsenal
A solo goal from henry, displaying strength, pace and skill as well as the composure to provide a cool finish.



3. Arsenal vs. Man Utd
This goal is special even if it wasn't against Man Utd. Simply because who else other than a genius can display such speed of though and improvisation?



4. Arsenal vs. Liverpool
To score a solo goal against a Liverpool defence marshalled by Hyypia and Carragher...what more can i say?



5. Arsenal vs. Tottenham
This solo goal against Spurs will live long in the memories of all Gunners fans. The fact that it was against their north London rivals made it even sweeter.



To Huiting：没想到你这么热衷于华文。我在初级学院时是中文学会的喔 :p 很高兴这年头还有像你这样的年轻人对华文有兴趣。要记得，只要努力，你一定有可能成为记者的。说不定有一天你能访问小猪呢。加油喔。

Goodbye and thanks to Thierry Henry

I've been following Thierry Henry at Arsenal for so long that I have forgotten when it all started. But what I can remember are many of the wonderful skills and beautiful goals which Henry displayed and left millions around the world in awe. While i am definitely sad about Henry leaving Arsenal and the Premiership, I also feel that he has already stayed one season longer as he could have left after last season's Champion's League final. I think he would have stayed on for the rest of his career if not for the David Dein incident and Arsenal's lack of competitiveness in the 2006/2007 season. Whatever the case, I am truly thankful of the goals, assists, efforts and inspirations which Henry provided during his 8 years at Arsenal. He is not only a marvellous footballer but also an honorable human who has conducted himself with dignity in most times on and off the field. I hope Arsenal fans can be understanding and not blame him for leaving as he has been a loyal servant to the club and given the chance, he will love to win the European Cup with the Gunners. While such a dream will probably not materialise, no one should ever doubt his commitment to Arsenal as well as his desire to succeed with the club. I wish Henry all the best in his new club and hopefully he can finally win the only trophy he hasn't won so far which is the European Cup. Lastly, just want to say that i am truly grateful to be able to witness a true footballing legend playing on a football field live through television. Goodbye Henry and thanks for the memories.

第18屆金曲獎观后感

第18屆金曲獎的成绩在昨晚已正式揭晓。虽然cable有转播，但由于S.H.E没有入围也没出席，所以我并没有全程观看。不过知道了得奖名单，还是有些惊喜。我没有想过小胖(李玖哲)会得到最佳男歌手，也没想到Jolin会得到最佳女歌手，更没想到MC Hotdog会得到最佳专辑。没有想到但却很开心，因为就整体来说，这些得奖者也代表金曲獎也开始能包容与接纳较商业及另类的音乐。商业的音乐往往做得再好还是会被沦为商业，即使水准再高也会被忽略。而像MC Hotdog这样的另类音乐，往往会被认为通俗及没有格调。这次的金曲獎让我看到，只要是好音乐，只要是好歌手，就不会因为类别而被忽略。

蔡依琳

我觉得这次Jolin的得奖，肯定的不是《舞娘》这张专辑，而是她自出道后一路走来所付出的努力。我从Jolin出道的第一张专辑《1019》就开始支持她到现在，看着她一路跌跌撞撞，后来成为销售天后，现在成为金曲歌后，除了高兴，也很感动，觉得她终于得到她所应得的肯定。严格来讲，我认为在《舞娘》这张专辑里Jolin是保持她的水准，而她真正突破性的代表作，应该是她第一次入围金曲奖的《看我72变》专辑。但无论如何，Jolin这次得奖，在我眼里绝对是实至名归的。

張韶涵

張韶涵这次是凭《潘多拉》这张专辑入围的，而如果以这张专辑为标准，那在下一届金曲奖，Angela肯定能以《梦里花》这张专辑再次入围最佳女歌手，甚至是最佳专辑。《梦里花》不论是在曲风或是Angela的表现方式都比《潘多拉》更加丰富，成熟。所以希望Angela不要失望，寄望明年，因为明年就自身的表现及专辑的水准，得奖的机率肯定更高。

罗志祥

Show这次虽然夺得票选最受欢迎歌手，却没有作品入围金曲奖。我不知道《Speshow》这张专辑是过了报名期或是报了名却没有入围，但如果是后者，我会觉得《Speshow》是这届金曲奖的遗珠。以前我不喜欢Show，因为他和我心目中的女神Selina闹绯闻，而我对此十分有意见，觉得他看起来是个花花公子，对Selina不是认真的。我一直为此而讨厌小猪，直到《Speshow》这张专辑。或许是绯闻淡静了下来，让我能脱下我的有色眼镜，客观地听他的歌，看他的表演。我必须说，小猪不论是在专辑里或舞台上已渐渐形成一种天王的架势，越来越具大将之风。这次没能入围，希望他以Jolin为目标，坚持自己的风格，相信自己有一天也能凭本身的努力及舞台魅力当上金曲歌王。想对小猪说：When you can win an enemy over with your performance, that is the best compliment.

庭竹

庭竹的《雨声》专辑是在最近冒起的新人中较为出色的专辑，所以希望在明年的金曲奖，庭竹能入围并勇夺最佳新人 ：D

Star Wesley: Hi Peifen welcome back! I've been on a long flight b4 when i went to Germany a few years back & i was quite lucky as i met a friendly old Swedish couple & we virtually chatted for the whole flight as we talked abt each other's life experiences in different cultures. It was reali enjoyable & we even exchanged mails after we seperated. Think i'm really lucky to meet such friendly passengers.

Reply to Huiting

Whoa I'm surprised by your offer leh :p coz the albums are opened before and are not autographed. But dun worry, they are still in decent condition. Show's early albums very rare now perhaps? My brother want me to emphasize that 达人show he has never listened b4 only opened the plastic wrapping. Also, to make things clearer, Showtime and 达人show have vcds while 催眠show does not have vcd. Do u mind giving me your msn when u post your comment so that we can negotiate further? Btw my brother suggested to let you have a look at the albums in person b4 deciding on the price and which one u want to buy first. Know that u're saving up for Show's concert so confirm below 20 bucks. K lah that's all hope to hear from u soon :D

Special Advert to Huiting

1. Showtime
2. 达人show
3. 催眠show

These are the 3 albums that my brother has. Opened before but still in decent condition. Won't mind selling on a cheap so let me know which ones you want and how much you wish to offer :p

在雨天赖床

我今天早上四点上床睡觉，下午两点多起床。身为一只标准的夜猫子，我时常到四点或更迟才上床睡觉，但是已经好久没试过睡到下午两点多才起床。其实我大概早上十一点多就醒了，但是看到外头下着倾盆大雨，我就拾起被我在睡梦中踢飞的被子，将它披上，然后继续睡。没有睡得很沉，因为我在享受那种外头冷冷的，身体却因被子包着而暖暖的感觉。什么都不想，什么都不做。就像只冬眠的熊一样。等我正式开始工作后，就很少有机会享受这种感觉了。可能连八个小时的睡眠都会变成一种奢望吧。所以，今天我享受在雨天赖床的感觉，真的很棒。

To Huiting:

From your last blog entry, seems like u're not very happy wor. Though I don't know what happened, just want to say that a lot of times, people try to please others and often compromise themselves in the process. While that desire to please people around you is great to have, you don't have to constantly comnpromise yourself and do things you don't really want to do. Live your life the way you want to live it coz it's your life after all and you are the one and only one who will appreciate the highs and lows of it all. By the way, just like to ask if you're interested to buy Show's 1st 3 albums coz my brother wants to sell them and he don't mind selling them on a cheap. If u're interested just let me know :)
