[Book Review | 好書分享] 玩酷医生,不像话 - 雅莎著

很難得的,我將以中文分享這本讓我一天內"沖完"的抒情小說。
第一次接觸雅莎作者的作品,全然是書名的功勞,也不忘感謝科技之發達,讓電子書走進了我的生活!

在我聊到忘我之前,倘若妳(你)也是新加坡人或擁有新加坡圖書館會員,你絕對該考慮試試看借借電子書(也有有聲書出借呦~)來讀一讀。我會再發另一篇短文分享如何使用以下列出的APP,及其好用之處。

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
好了,高交代的連結都列出來了,我可以專心分享了。

好看之處,在於女主角被"邪裡邪氣"又霸道的男主角勾搭上的過程,劇情的發展不會太牽強,不會太肉慾,也很溫馨。現代版的人物背景,黑道角色+邪氣凌人+武術+醫生+親情溫暖及冷血勢力的對比元素,讓人很樂意沉浸在故事中,替主角揪心氣憤,也被劇情的小小驚喜及作者對待"小生命的正面處理"感到開心! 曾經也讀過其它較黑暗的抒情小說,作者很直接的探入"黑暗",雖然逼真寫實,但本人還是比較喜歡正面式的處理故事情節。

我不想洩漏太多故事情節,但我真的喜歡這本作品內的人物性格,劇情以及冷暖。希望愛好抒情小說的朋友們,及j很少翻閱此類別書籍的你(妳)也能試讀看看哦~

接下來還是會很隨性的發文,頻率不是很繁但還是希望與大家分享!

Chinese Zodiac Reflects Ancestry's Conviction on Desired Virtues

Received from my dearest ex-boss and friend Peggy Tan: what each animal in the Chinese Zodiac symbolises and represents. Why and how they are arranged in the Zodiac. Recall the legends of the 12 Zodiac (12生肖的传说/故事), it's show how reflecting what ancesters wished upon their decendents. The desired virtues to possess. I think that this, storks be shared.


老外嘲笑十二生肖,國人反問讓人深思!

有一次,一群中國人參加接待了一個由歐洲貴族組成的參訪團的活動。
他們中的大多數跟王族有親戚關係,非常有學問和修養,待人彬彬有禮,但他們的修養背後隱藏著一種傲慢。最後一天聚餐,可能酒喝多了,這些貴族的言談舉止變得比較率性。
席間,一位德國貴族站了起來說:你們中國人,怎麼屬什麼豬啊,狗啊,老鼠啊!不像我們,都是金牛座,獅子座,仙女座……真不知你們祖先怎麼想的!
眾人聽了哈哈大笑,還互相碰杯,先前的優雅完全不見了。

按理說,人家在罵你的祖宗了,你即使想不出話反擊,起碼可以掀桌子啊!但是,所有在場的中國人都不吭聲,也可能是沒有反應過來。
這時有一個中國人站了起來,用平和的語氣說:「是的,中國人的祖先很實在。我們十二生肖兩兩相對,六道輪回,體現了我們祖先對我們的期望和要求。」
這時,現場氣氛慢慢安靜了下來,不過,貴族們的臉上還是一幅滿不在乎的神情。
中國人說:第一組是老鼠和牛。老鼠代表智慧,牛代表勤奮。智慧和勤奮一定要緊緊結合在一起。如果光有智慧,不勤奮,那就變成小聰明;而光是勤奮,不動腦筋,那就變成愚蠢。這兩者一定要結合。這是祖先對我們第一組的期望和要求,也是最重要的一組。
第二組是老虎和兔子。老虎代表勇猛,兔子代表謹慎。勇猛和謹慎一定要緊緊結合在一起才能作到膽大心細。如果勇猛離開了謹慎,就變成了魯莽,而沒了勇猛,就變成了膽怯。這一組也非常重要,所以,中國人看著這些貴族,補上一句:當我們表現出謹慎的時候,千萬不要以為中國人沒有勇敢的一面。
看著大家陷入沉思,中國人繼續說:第三組是龍和蛇,龍代表猛,蛇代表柔韌。所謂剛者易折,太剛了容易折斷,但是,如果只有柔的一面就易失去主見,所以,剛柔並濟是我們的祖訓。
接下來是馬和羊,馬代表勇往直前,羊代表和順。如果一個人只顧自己直奔目標,不顧及周圍環境,必然會和周圍不斷磕碰,最後不見得能達到目標。但是,一個人光顧及和順,他可能連方向都沒有了。所以,勇往直前的秉性,一定要和和順緊緊結合在一起,這是祖先對我們的第四組期望。
再接下來是猴子和雞。猴子代表靈活,雞定時打鳴,代表恒定。靈活和恒定一定要緊緊結合在一起。如果你光靈活,沒有恒定,再好的政策也得不到收穫。一方面具有穩定性,保持整體和諧和秩序,另一方面有能在變通中前進,這才是最根本的要旨。
最後是狗和豬。狗代表忠誠,豬代表隨和。如果一個人太忠誠,不懂得隨和,就會排斥他人。反過來,一個人太隨和,沒有忠誠,這個人就失去原則。無論是對一個民族的忠誠,還是對自己理想的忠誠,一定要與隨和緊緊結合在一起,這樣才容易保持內心深處的平衡。
解釋完畢,中國人說:「最後,我很想知道你們的寶瓶座,射手座等星座體現了你們祖先對你們的哪些期望和要求?希望賜教。」
這些貴族們很長時間都沒有說話,全場鴉雀無聲。
慚愧的是,這也是第一次瞭解十二生肖的意義。看完要轉,因為我們是炎黃子孫。

Heart-pounding Dream

hahaha... I admit that I had an overdose of Eric Suen yesterday before I slept, stalked him on YouTube where variety shows wick he attended last year in promotion of his newest album, and the music videos of his songs.

Love the way he acted on MTV talk show My Idol, such a charmer with electrifying gaze that melts you from within. .. then it was the date show hosted by Harlem Yu and Ella - the prince's date, he was kinda the special guest to help one of the long haul girls in their prince selection. Really like the way he talks with humour and he is like full of warmth and when his body language seems to me like those who mix around easily, does not keep a wide personal space around him... aiya.. very approachable kind of person.

then before 1 slept I found some not so nice news article saying that his business venture in China and Taiwan is faced with alleged claims that amounts to sky high figures (to me those are)...

maybe... it's just that side note of worry and loads of him being viewed, I had a really nice dream which I could recall vaguely--

I was with him heading somewhere. I was feeling happy, contented and up spirited yet trying not to show too much of it in front of him. There were moments where he had his arm around my shoulders and my hand in his whole he charmingly talks about the food he wants to eat and the place we are heading. I felt like I was the girlfriend... ♡♡♡♡♡♡

sadly my sister called and my dream got interrupted. .. and even now as I try to recall as much of it... that's the most I could.

When I have dreams, most of the time I couldn't recall the details or anything about it when I wake up. I kind of know if I had dreams but can't remember details. occasionally like today, I can recall bits of it. Dreams that I could recall could be very strange encounters or adventures type or Hot steamy ones and also some simple lovey dove romantic ones. Not necessarily always with my boyfriend though. .. I couldn't really identify any patterns on how my dreams are formed but I know that this was not the first time an overdose of someone or something led to a dream on him/it.

Day dreams are another bunch of things which shall not be covered. .. after all, those are my fantasies!

Till the next spur of the moment. .

孙耀威 | Eric Suen - My Idol!!

chinese pop,chinese singer,idol,eric suen,eric sun,sun yao wei,孙耀威

As I was writing the previous post, editing settings on my blogspirit to insert all those google analytics code for better tracking of my site traffic... I strayed and ended up playing my song list on YT... and ultimately as a strayer goes, I strayed into my childhood Idol (my dream guy!!!! lol~)

chinese pop,chinese singer,idol,eric suen,eric sun,sun yao wei,孙耀威

Eric Suen's songs and started hunting his original MVs down. Especially the song that trapped my young heart:

爱火 Love Fire

From what I could recall, it was the song, the lyrics and his voice that really attracted me to the song. Of coz back then and until now, I am having a few idols whose songs just captivates me entirely. BUT then, HE, HE was the one that caused those little tremors exploding within me! Coz of this MV!!! Love the smiley eyes, and it was also kinda since then, that I realised that the saying of the eyes are the windows to one's heart and soul kinda makes sense!

Subsequently, I was always looking out for his MV being played on TV or song being aired on radio. Those days, YT and internet was yet the hype... that was between the year 1993-1996 when I was a radio-holic!

Following are the other songs from him that I adore! Hope you like it too! Enjoy~

恋一个爱 Loving A Love / Falling for A Love

 

关心 Concern / Caring

 

肯定 Affirmation

 

爱的表情 The Expression of Love / Love's Expression

 

习惯 Habit

 

See ya~ More of my Idol's MVs coming up~ hahaha... but I donnoe when that will be. XD

"Peer-pressured" into Instagram XD

Instagram

3534983570.JPG

LOL~

First and foremost must post the badge right?!! Self-promote!! But there's only 1 post for now! LOL

Well... it is not really from peers that I felt the "pressure" to sign up for an account with Instagram, coz I am rather happy, VERY HAPPY with Pick! It's kinda similar to Instagram but with better features and accessibility. For all that I am aware, (I am still noob at Instagraming) I can't post my pictures (umm... you know? after I have it photo-shopped?) and I am kinda... disappointed. Then, initially when I tried to use the app.. it seems that the options for editing the pics are quite little... or maybe coz I am using an android phone? Not sure.. But if it wasn't for the fact that I really wanted to:

1. Follow / Stalk my favourite beauty gurus
2. Take part in contests/giveaways
3. For the joy of interacting with potential readers of my blog/YT channel viewers

I would not have joined.

But then again, I had... so I shall work on getting more posts on it.

I will most likely repost my Pick posts into Instagram as Pick provides great filters and stamps and bla bla bla.

It also allows me to post via web browser login / Android app / Apple Store app

4289065111.JPG

and I bet at this point you have noticed how my Pick Page's background looks sooooooo pretty right?

See!!! You can customise how you want it to appear on web, outside of browser, it can still look good! In face, they provide you with template background to choose from. If you already have a LINE account or Naver account, or you could even choose to create an account via Facebook or twitter login. All posts could be crossed post to Facebook, Twitter, Weibo, Sinablog.

So if you visit me at http://pick.naver.jp/fsrain, this is what you'll see on the landing page:

 

pick,instagram alternative,photo editing,naver,line,photo app

 

and this is how my profile looks like:

pick,Instagram,FSRain,FS.Rain,Blogger,Beauty,Makeup Enthusiast

I don't care what you think of Instagram la, I really like how Pick is and I think you really should try it too!!!

hahaha.. somehow this post ended up not talking much about my instagram account... anyways, to find out more, just check me out on Instagram loh.

Till the next time... (gonna be very soon)

See ya around~

 

Cheerios,
FS.Rain

Getting Busy Online~

As always, Time flies and almost unsurprisingly, I am entering a new decade of my Life... the year that I will get a chance to change / update my identity card as current one was issued in the year 1996.... I am among the last batch of citizens who get to receive their ID cards when they hit 12 years old. YES, do you maths and you can find out my age. XD

With this new year, I am looking forward to some sort of stability in my relationship and ultimately, embarking on a journey in my career and interests. 

That was why I  have been rather busy recently dealing with all these:

  • Setting up a Google+ Page & Site that supports my professional development in HR.L&D
  • Updating my blogs on Tech gadgets + Makeup, filming of videos for YouTube channel for gadgets and beauty
  • Scheduling an event and tapping onto Google Forms, to recruit volunteers to assist me in my personal interests (i.e. Makeup!!)
  • Job search and refining CV and LinkedIn profile
  • Subscription to the Adult Education Network under IAL
  • Continuing my further studies - already undergoing my masters degree programme

I am rather pleased with what I have accomplished during the past 3 months and I really hope that 2014 shall be a fruitful year in terms of career, learning, and pursue of interests.

If you are missing me already, come on! Find me on my social media platforms and interact with me there! I am sure it is not that difficult as I have left some footprints here that should lead you on~

Despite the downs that took place in 2013 and the years before, I am very grateful for what I have learned, experience and knowledge gained, the mistakes that were made, the frustrations that I have to go through... all these made me the person that I am. 

As I always reminded myself.. let me repeat it again:

"Happiness is a Choice that can be made"

"知足常樂 笑口常開"

Stay positive and always look out for the something that brightens your day.

I love rainy days for the peaceful ambiance and the cooling weather, yet I always prefer the Shinning Sun that brightens up world infront of me.

Let's work hard and work smart as we paved our life during this limited time. 

Let's enjoy the simple pleasures in life as we tackle our way through the obstacles laid ahead.

May peace and happiness be within reach.

May smiles and laughter accompany us.

I can continue rambling these nonsensical nothings.. but I think my lids are getting heavy..

We shall talk again~

MIA? Life events

This year is coming to an end in less than a month's time.

Several life events unfolded.

Breakup, job switch, Master's degree, new romance, career hiatus, etc...

I have definitely been missing in action for quite a long while, but if you read beyond the words in the earlier paragraph. ... I believe you know why.

At this point, I have a new start and I hope that it will be great. Relationship matters gets an uplift for me after hearing some good insights from a trusted source.

I'm heading out in high spirits today, been missing such light-hearted mood for awhile.. of course I rewarded myself with a nice look:

On a family date and ending with one from my lover.

I hope that everyone else is also enjoying their weekend with their loved ones.

[Article] Why I'm no longer gay but still want to marry a man

Article: Why I'm no longer Gay but still want to marry a man


This article covered not just what the title says but also something which l think is profound - - ♥LOVE♥

This particular paragraph that I have "cut" out simply because it is really inspirational. To a certain degree I really agree on the way he describe love.

mobile_picture

Of course, I know that just by reading the title there might be to quite a handful ppl uttering %$#××_8£$
That is, if you never even bother to read the whole article.

However it is perceived and how one decides to perceive is beyond me. I just wanna share good reads.
