AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WEWE
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE (x2)
祂 主宰世上一切
祂的歌唱出愛 祂的真理遍佈這地球
祂 怎麼一去不返
祂可否會感到 烽煙掩蓋天空與未來
＊無助與冰涷的眼睛 流淚看天際帶悲憤
是控訴戰爭到最後傷痛是兒童
＃我向世界呼叫
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE
TUNA TAKA WE WE
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE
天 天空可見飛鳥
驚慌展翅飛舞 穿梭天際只想覓自由
心 千億顆愛心碎
今天一切厄困 彷彿真理消失在地球
重唱 ＊,＃
權力與擁有的鬥爭 愚昧與偏見的爭鬥
若這裡戰爭到最後怎會是和平
重唱 ＃
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE (x2)
再次再次呼叫
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE
TUNA TAKA WE WE
AMANI NAKUPENDA NAKUPENDA WE WE
再次再次呼叫

Paper Anniversary
31st July 2008 marks the 1 year that you’ve been apart from us physically.
Mentally was 6 years ago.
I tink you’ve found peace and release in the netherworld.
I never knew living without you in my life was so tough.
This entire 365 days was spent numbing myself the first 4 months…
then losing my identity over the subsequent 4
And finally picking up the pieces over the last period.
Mum is fine.
She has visited temples in China with her sisters.
She adores my little nephew whom adores her equally.
Both of them spend most time together.
I am glad that little punk is helping her.
Life gives rise to life.
I remember my dad being a bit of a character, which is my experience that as men (and really women too, but I'm focusing on dad) age, their idiosyncrasies that are kinda funny and it juz blows up into just plain ridiculous and nuts. I can't speak for everyone but I think most dad's are a bit looney in their own way as they and us age together.
My dad is wonderfully generous and completely dedicated to his family.
My dad is a biker fanatic and he has probably every class of license there is, he has had a Yamaha Bike for about the last 10 years, my mom was constantly nagging at him to get rid of his riding. His main biker buddy is also a man whom he works for before his illness and a co-investor in his business. They used to go to biking trips all the way up to Southern Thailand and Malaysian States every year. (They don't go as much in the recent years due to constant family nagging and the long ride on the North-south highway which wipes them out physically and mentally)
This is my Dad
The best father a kid could ever have
You laughed a lot and kept me happy
Even if some of your jokes were kinda crappy.
Never punished for my stubborn pride
You bought me all my wants
At times I was sent to bed without any dinner
You would bring me to McDonalds
On the pretense of buying evening papers
In my eyes, Dad, you are always my Hero.
From broken legs to a broken life
You helped me though all of life’s transitions
As I grew older, I grew to learn how hard it was for you
But your resilient love for me kept shining through.
You were always there to calm all my fears
Until that day I found you deeply asleep
During my many crises, you always knew what to do
I yearned to learn more from you.
But you left me to fend on my own.
After 30 years of walking with me,
Hand by hand,
You let go.
Today marks a year of living life without you.

Grow Old with You
Last nite after watching HellboyII and popping into a Japan fair.... a mishmash of other stuff
I walked to the taxi stand and waited for a cab. Behind me stood an elderly couple tink btw 50 to 60s, the lady was elegant and the old man was old and gentlemanly.
He insisted on carrying the shopping even though he was visibly frail and all. i was tinking wah lau, jin loving lorrr....(Reminded me of the song Grow Old with me by Adam Sadler)
Then my fren told me to help them with their stuff.. i was like.. why was i tinking about alot other stuff b4 even tinkin of helping them.. so i went heck.. Excuse me, can i help u with your stuff ?b4 they tink this fat guy is trying to make a run with their shopping....
They smiled and obliged me.
I carried their stuff all the way from the end of the queue till the start. I decided to let them go first so that i could help them load up on the cab. at first i was quite hesitant as i dunno if my fren needs to go home urgently or wot.. but i was tinkin heck lah...
I offered them my cab. and they obliged again. =)
i felt happy not bcoz i did a good deed. but becoz i manage to see a such loving couple which actually showcases the lyrics.
Hahahah.. i know dumb me.
Love; wot makes it last ?
Lyrics of Song
Billy idol (speaking): good afternoon everyone. we’re flying at 26,000 feet,
Moving
Up to thirty thousand feet, and then we’ve got clear skies
All the way to las vegas, and right now we’re bringin you some in-flight
Entertainment. one of our first-class passengers would like to sing you a song
Inspired by one of our coach passenger, and since we let our first-class
Passengers do pretty much whatever they want, here he is.
Robbie hart (singing):
I wanna make you smile whenever you’re sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you
I’ll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you
I’ll miss you
I’ll kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold
I’ll need you
I’ll feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control
So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you’ve had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.

Loneliness
Tell me what does it mean ?
Standing in a crowd of 50 people, saying 'Hi's and "Bye's and the obligatory 'How've you been doing?' etc. Smiling at pple whom you just cant put a name to the face coz they smiled and remembered your name. Calling pple as Brother or Pretty girl coz you've forgotten their complicated names. Trying to excuse yourself from the conversation which is soppy and boring and work-related.
Have these ever happened before ?
If it had, you're probably experiencing a bout of loneliness.

Moving Escalators And Stopped Ones
Today i had the privilege of being on a moving escalator which stopped.
In a split second, I was on my knees.
Left knee to be precise
My Coffeebean kopi split. Loss of $5
The wound looked bad enuff to warrant me to go see a doctor to do cleaning.
The doctor told me , Its a clean cut and looks pretty superficial.
I was like WTH......
Next she propped up my leg and poured the antiseptic over the gaping wound.
**Cringes**
**Cringes**
**Cringes**
**Cringes**
then its a plaster over it...
Went outside to the dispensary.
Thot clean wound cheap cheap.
The CSO muttered, "No medicine. Consultation + Cleaning, $47, Cash or Nets or VISA"
Kaozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... Further losses of $47
And now i walk with a limp in my left leg when i walk briskly or run due to the wound on my knee. Further loss of image *Tinks of a recent missing person*
The only silver lining amidst all these pain are these, This week no need go pasir ris for soccer (Yay!!) and 90% fo the monetary loss is claimeable. =)

HR Questions U need not answer
Although HR departments should be aware of questions that are illegal to ask prospective employees, some hiring managers aren’t so savvy. Many illegal questions are easy for just about anyone with elementary social graces to avoid, but others might surprise you. In general, you should not ask interviewees about their age, race, national origin, marital or parental status, or disabilities.
Note that this list offers only some very broad guidelines and is not exhaustive. Check with your company’s HR department to see if your state or locality, or even your company, has additional restrictions on what you may ask.
#1: Where were you born?
This question might seem like small talk as you get to know a person, but it could also be used to gather information illegally about the candidate’s national origin. Although it may seem more relevant, you should also avoid asking, “Are you a SG citizen?” You can ask whether a candidate is authorized to work in Singapore, but avoid asking about citizenship.
#2: What is your native language?
Again, the problem is that this question could be used to determine national origin. You can ask whether the person knows a language if it is required for the job. For example, if job responsibilities include supporting Spanish-speaking customers, it’s fair to ask whether the candidate speaks Spanish.
#3: Are you married?
Here’s another question that would seem innocent in most settings, but definitely not in a job interview. Because you can’t discriminate on the basis of marital status, this question is off limits.
#4: Do you have children?
This might sound like small talk, too — an innocent question in most settings — but not in a job interview. It’s covered by a general prohibition about discrimination over parental status.
#5: Do you plan to get pregnant?
In the past, employers sometimes asked this question to weed out women who might take a maternity leave. It has always been rude coming from a casual acquaintance, and now it’s illegal as well.
#6: How old are you?
Some companies used to avoid hiring older workers for a variety of reasons, ranging from a fear of higher healthcare costs and absences to a social bias in favor of youth. But age discrimination is clearly illegal, and you should avoid this question. Don’t try to get the information by asking when the person graduated from college, either.
#7: Do you observe Yom Kippur?
You can’t discriminate on the basis of religion, so this question is illegal, as would be asking about Good Friday, Ramadan, or the Solstice. If you’re concerned about the candidate’s availability, you could ask whether he or she can work on holidays and weekends, but not about the observance of particular religious holidays.
#8: Do you have a disability or chronic illness?
This information is not supposed to be used as a factor in hiring, so the questions are illegal. If the job will require some specific physical tasks, such as installing cables in walls and ceilings, you may ask whether the person could perform those tasks with reasonable accommodation.
#9: Do you smoke or use alcohol?
In general, you can’t discriminate on the basis of the use of a legal product when the employee is not on the premises and not on the job.
Tip: To avoid asking the wrong questions, develop an interview form and use a copy of it for each candidate. It will document that you asked each interviewee the same questions. Failing to do so may establish a pattern that could seem discriminatory. For example, if you ask only women about their willingness to travel, thinking that the responsibilities of childcare would make them balk at business trips, you could establish a pattern of discrimination.
