Heaven Knows
Rick Price
She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up,
Till I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know
And though she's so far away,
It just keeps getting stronger
everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me, where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
Maybe my love will
Come back someday
Only Heaven knows
And maybe our hearts
Will find a way
But only Heaven knows
And all I can do
Is hope and pray
'Cause Heaven knows
My friends keep telling me
That if you really love her,
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I'll know she's mine
But tell me, where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go
Maybe my love will
Come back someday
Only Heaven knows
And maybe our hearts
Will find a way
But only Heaven knows
And all I can do
Is hope and pray
'Cause Heaven knows
Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreamin'
I know she's never there
And all the time I act so brave,
I'm shakin' inside
Why does it hurt me so?
Maybe my love will
Come back someday
Only Heaven knows
And maybe our hearts
Will find a way
But only Heaven knows
And all I can do
Is hope and pray
'Cause Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

昨天发生的事情(2)
应征结束后，我带着有点失落的身心来到YIH的电脑室，外面有一群人在练习歌唱。我在猜想主唱的队员是不是缺席，因为他们自弹自唱，伴奏（PERCUSSION）做的还蛮不错的，就是没有很好的主唱。
很快地，我用过午餐后，就来到讲堂７A与我的同学回合，进行彩排（为了晚上企业营销课的构思呈现）。我们就在里面彩排了整整６个小时（间中我有离开讲堂，去参与座谈会）。
第一组的组员还未到齐，教授就让我们先开始呈现我们的构思。基本上我们没有面临新的问题，但教授依然建议我们去测试，看看市场的反应如何，再看看我们的构思能否维持。
结束之后，大伙儿都有一定的成就感，而且大家都觉得那部短片制作得很好，哈哈！

昨天发生的事情 (1)
好久没有写日记了，就写一写昨天发生的事情吧！
昨天发生两件事情，先说第一件事情：NOC第二回合的应征。起初回答得还不错，后来其中一位评审员问为什么我退出某社团，我的回答是上个学期的课业太繁重了，５个学科加上１个作业，但是我告诉他说我是负责市场调查的工作，不知道这样的解释会不会被接受。
后来，我再想想，我忘了把一些重要的资讯告诉他们！而且，我还发现一个很重要的事实：那为评审员在某社团非常的积极 （完了，完蛋了， 哀哉！哀哉！）
下午，３时正有一个座谈会讨论有关到上海及瑞典的详情，听了他们的讲解后，我心中在另打算盘。。。。。。
＊好久没有用中文来写日记了 ＞＿＜

Riddle 2 revisisted (English Version)
3 people were get caught in the prison. Each of them is assigned into one room. The duty office said: I have 5 caps in total, 3 Whites and 2 Blacks. You'll be given a cap in random. If you think your cap is WHITE, you can leave the room safely. If your cap is black, you'll be prosecuted as soon as you leave this room."
3 of them took the cap and started to look at each other. After a long while, 3 of them left the room safely. Deduce the logic, how and why do they know that their own cap is white?
Limitation: 3 of them were assigned into 3 rooms with transparent partition: one can see the colour of the caps of the other 2 but not his own. They are not allowed to communicate to each other, as well as the duty officer. No sign language or body language is allowed.
Hint: consider this question in case by case elimination.

Full House aka 浪漫满屋
uh hu! Finally I finished watching Full House (started to watch it since last week, I think). It's the 2nd Korean drama series which I've watched so far. Anyway, my mentors are not around today; feel bored so I am listening to the theme song of Full House while typing this blog here.
Let me write a short synopsis on that drama and my thoughts after watching that drama series. The story started with a lie (or in a more serious sense: betrayal). Anyway, it's not a bad thing after all, due to this lie, Ji-Hyun and Yung-Jae knew each other! Yung-Jae bought Full House from Ji-Hyun's friends and both of them stayed under the same roof. Also, both of them had a fake marriage (or contract-based marriage).
Even though it's a fake marriage, they showed concerns and cares to each other. They have gone through a lot of difficulties and hard times, yet, the happy moments that they have shared together in Full House overide all the tears they've shed. Eventually, they become the real couple.
I can't recall much from the entire drama series; anyway, what I can remember is some scenes which are really touching: whenever they fell sick, the healthy one will cook porridge for the sicked one; in the final episode, when both of them skated together; in the first few episode, when Yung-Jae taught Ji-Hyun to ride a bike and after which both of them cycle together and watch sunset together; when either one of them is upset, the other one will comfort him/her; and not forget the scence when both of them were separated (I think the last time when Yong-Jae left Full House), that is when both of them were recalling all the moments and times that they shared together. And a lot more scenes which I can't recall now (aiks.......poor memory).
Another comment on this drama series, in fact not only this drama, but I believe most Korean drama series, the director is so good that he knows what background songs to play in what scene, that makes a lot of differences in the whole drama series. To the director: Good job!
Today is Valentine's Day. Also, I don't have marketing lecture this evening (or not I should have left my office by now). Again, no group meeting for the marketing project (all my group members are gentlemen, most of them are busy, my guess). Till now, I don't have any plan in mind yet, perhaps it's a good time for me to read up my readings for marketing and HR. (have been slacking around so far)

Roadshow @ Matrix Lvl 4
I've attended this roadshow at Lvl 4 of my working place. To cut the story short (a bit sleepy and tired now, yawn~~~~~), I just list down some of the nice quotes spoken by the speakers:
1) Entrepreneur does NOT aim to earn a lot of MONEY. It is the JOURNEY or PROCESS to CREATE something NEW on YOUR own.
2) Entrepreneur needs a lot of helps from others. PARTNERSHIP is an important issue. Build up your network extensively and know who are the people who can help you under all circumstances.
3) Bear the ETHICAL issues in mind while you are creating your business.
4) You may end up with something which is totally different from your initial objectives; that's fine.
5) An entrepreneur does NOT always win. If you want to win always, join the Civil Service. Instead, an entrepreneur should be someone who covers the most and recovers the fastest whenever he encounters failures.
6) Always humble and open for critisism.
7) Paying back to the society whenever you have succeeded.
Ok, these are what I would like to share here. Of course there are more to elaborate, but my eyes just do not allow me to do so. Anyway, the first 6 points above were spoken by Prof Edison Liu (Executive Director of GIS) who has never started up any business (well, I'll just take it as another perspectives, as in what's entrepreneurship is about from the point of view of a research scientist).

耐人寻味（四）
电池厂：
某电池厂生产干电池。工厂里面有10台包装机器。机器负责把4粒干电池包装成一包（如市面上的干电池）。为了出销活动，该公司决定把包装改为全黑，亦即如果不把包装打开就无法知道里面有几个干电池。但10台机器里面有其中一台是坏的：它包装的每一包干电池都少一粒。试问：如何利用一个重量称，只需称一次就可以知道那一台机器有问题？
注：干电池的重量全部一样，我们知道一粒干电池的重量。

聪明的盲人：
两个盲人在超市各别买了3双袜子，甲买红，蓝，黄；乙也买红，蓝，黄。可是不知怎么的，两个人的娃子掉落在地上，6双袜子都混淆了。试问他们应该如何不借助别人的帮忙，来分配他们的袜子？条件：只要两人各自拿到红，蓝及黄即可。

complicated family (2)
Let me continue here.
I shall skip all the details from my departure from JB and arrival at KK and the day time which I've spent in my uncle's house. Move to the night time (on the day of arrival) in when my auntie invited my paternal relatives for the dinner.
I saw all most of my relatives of my father's side. Other than them, I saw another family, 3 kids, a pair of middle-aged couple and an old lady. At first I thought they were the boss of my auntie in her company, but I didn't think too much about them.
After we left, on the way back home, my sister started to ask my mum who are those people.
Sis: Mum, who are those people?
Mum: The middle-aged man is your father's younger brother!
Sis: WHAT!? How come!?
Mum: Remember last time during your grandpa's funeral? They were there! Your late grandpa married with another lady.
Me: So.......the middle-aged man is daddy's brother, same father but different mother.......Then what about the old lady there? Is she grandpa's wife?
Mum: Nope, she's the middle-aged man's sister. Same mother but different father (as in not your grandpa)
Sis & Me: WHAT!? .............
I never know that I have such complicated family background. Anyway, my dad wasn't very happy with their presence on that night, while my aunties (my father's real sisters) were talking happily to them. Oh well, how's this going to affect me as the 3rd generation in the family tree? Not at all, perhaps.

complicated family (1)
I guess most of you have already known that I've gone back to my hometown (in Sabah) during the past few days for CNY. It was a last minute decision on last Friday when my super duper very kind boss let me go for holidays, yeah! Luckily I managed to book the air ticket, left on Monday morning and returned on Friday afternoon.
Let me spent some words to describe what happened on my journey to the airport. Since the flight was 7:15 am and the airport is at Senai, JB, so I have to take bus from S'pore all the way to the airport the night before the flight and stayed overnight there. The whole journey took about 3 hours, from Kent Ridge Terminal to Senai Airport. When I arrived, immediately I ordered claypot noodles which is the most expensive claypot noodles I've ever eaten so far. Then I started to read some books and notes. Around 1am, all the shops started to close. Also, that's the moment I, (oppss.. not only myself, but we, rather) have waited. We (6 of us including myself and another 5 strangers) were sitting (or lying) on the bench with VERY-thin cushion and waiting for the coming of 'silence'. It happens after all the shops were closed and the lights were off. Ok, we can sleep now.
There were 2 rows of benches, both rows were placed side by side and each rows is about 12 chairs with VERY-thin cushion. It was a bit horrible to sleep on this VERY-thin cushion chairs, I just couldn't sleep long and tends to wake up after 2 hours sleep (or lie). Also, the room temperature was not regulated well, sometimes too cold, freezing......
Around 5am, they turned on the light because there were a group of people who will depart for Kuching arrived to check-in. When I looked at the monitor there, it shown that their flight time is 7:15am! I was thinking: what the heck these people come so early to wake me up while your flight is so late! With lots of unwillingness, I woke up, stretched my body and a big YAWNNNNN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, I went to the washroom and washed up. That was the irst time I brushed my teeth in the airport, everyone was looking at me, haha! So embarassing :P After that, I drank the most expensive teh tarik, sigh.......
Oppss... a bit too long, stop here first.
