hihi nic. huh? what happen? haha never mind. Mdm Tan from "My Sassy Neighbour" always said - must be positive~~
But it's easier to said than done hor? ya lor. so darn freaking difficult. but it can be done. jia you!
if you feel like crying then cry hao ma? Don't hold back. That will be even more depressing.
when I'm sad I will listen to Get Alive. You should do that too. it really work. heh heh.
eye's feeling better now? haha.
glad you like our presents! haha!
Ya it pretty much sucks when we are emotionally low. practically become a recluse to recover but sometimes it gets worse when there is no human contact. But what to do? Just in no mood to entertain anyone. Hey why am I commiserating with you when I am supposed to be encouraging you? Here goes nothing…..Always know that it is okay to ask for help when you need it, don’t struggle alone when you can’t cope. Key thing is we have to ask the right person for help! Though we fans are but a small part of your lives, hope that the little sweet gestures by all the fans here can help you pass this low period. All these things are so easy to say here but hard to do, so hope you’ll get through your own emotional barrier soon. Sometimes I feel we just need to meet an ultra positive person who can 点醒我们! When all else fails, remember there’s always CHOCOLATES! haha no la... i mean there's always that someone looking out for us, we just need to humbly ask for help :)
Hey Nic!It is nice to see you taking time off to write an entry.
I understand how it is like when we are feeling really down..
I am sure everyone had been through the same thing including myself..
But that is life,isn't it?It is always full of ups and downs.Just like a rollercoaster ride.But like what you mentioned,we have to be strong.And I am sure you will pull through it..
Just stay strong,alright Nic and it will be okay!Jiayou!
All the best and hopefully,I will be able to see you soon!
morning! how's ya day, nic? haha.
erm, my facilitator taught me this before - life is like jogging on the track, just jog at your most comfortable pace ba. When you're tired, slow down and walk walk first, then continue jogging again when u not so tired le.
Well, not sure whether it works for your case cos I don't know your time table at all. But well, regarding the part on "had a difficult time coping with everything", is it possible for you not to overload yourselves with too much work? Meaning, is it possible to say no to some of the tasks that may seemed...less important? Only accept the amount of tasks that you can handle jiu dui le.
But well, just sharing, not sure if this works for your case. Jia you arh! smilez =)
hi MLB/Mlbians .. sharing a poem for some motivation.. fm a source..
"How to Be Happy!"
"Don't ever stop dreaming your dreams;
they're a very essential part of you.
Do whatever you can to make them a
reality by the course you take,
the plans you make,
and all the things you do.
Don't dwell on past mistakes; leave
yesterday behind you --- along with any
of its problems, worries, and doubts.
Do realize you can't change the past,
but just ahead is the future --- and
you can do something about that.
Don't try to accomplish everything at
once; life can be difficult enough ---
without adding frustration to the list.
Do travel one step at a time, and reach
for one goal at a time. That's the way
to find out what real accomplishment is.
Don't be afraid to do the impossible,
even if others don't think you'll succeed.
Do remember that history is filled with
incredible accomplishments of those who
were foolish enough ..... to believe.
Don't forget that there are so many
things that are wonderful, rare,
and unique about you.
And do remember that if you can search
within and find a smile ..... that smile
will always be a reflection
of the way people feel ..... about YOU!"
haha thanks supporter. Very enlightening indeed. heh heh.
I got one excerpt to share too! But kinda long, read only when u r free ok? hehe.
Love Your True Self (Part 1)
One of the best things you can do for yourself and your loved ones is to practice self-love. Loving and respecting yourself more than anyone else is crucial because if you're not happy, successful, life-affirming and healthy, you're not much use to anyone.
Some people always put others before them, and to them this is a very natural thing; they're genuinely selfless and sympathetic. But in the meantime, they forget who they are and lose themselves in the process. They begin to get depressed, lose focus and ambition and wonder what happened to their life to make them get to this point. The answer is simple - they let their obligations and responsibilities get in the way of fulfilling their life's destiny and, in short, they lost themselves to others.
(fast forward...)
There are millions of people running around on autopilot - finding themselves consumed by everyday life and the expectations of others that they've forgotten to care about the most important person in their lives - themselves.
If we continue to neglect ourselves, what's going to happen (and that's already affecting thousands of elderly people today) is that we're going to eventually find ourselves in a place of sadness and loneliness. Because in all our running around and tending to everybody's wishes, we allowed our own problems and dissatisfactions to simmer and fester. How do we do everything for everybody and do for ourselves, too? We can't. We have to accept that. There will be times that you will not be there for someone because a part of you needs your love and time. And that's ok. You have to help yourself too, you know.
Good Afternoon, all!
Mr Smiley,
hope you are carrying a smile after a "depression" night when letting off your emotional break down onto the blog. at least you are willing to share and not keeping it to urself where it's more miserable. yup, not to worry, let it go and everything turns out well. becos, god is alwaes there for you, helping you and lead ur way to a betta one. most importantly, carry a big smile, happy frame of mind and go on with ur life. ii believe, someday, somehow, luck is alwaes there for you.

Hey Nic,
Please stay positive and hang on.
As what you've mentioned: "Everything will turn out fine in the end, if it doesn't, it's not yet the end". I shall continue by saying: "Pick up from where you've fall, and learn from the mistakes you've made". 天无绝人之路。I still can recall one of my secondary school chinese teacher ever told us: "不怕慢，只怕站".
Fyi, you are not facing your problem alone. Although we does not know exactly what problems you are facing, but rest assured that we will always be supporting you & your 2 bros. Please stay calm but continue to Jia-you...
this is just pretty much all we can do.. encouragements n all. the rest will hv to depend on you yourself...
四个字，坚持到底~
rmb the song u once posted? Superman.. well, rmb tt nobody's perfect. hv lower expectations of urself sometimes.. cuz u make me feel that u're racing against time to get things done..
life's not simple, will never be. jus keep a positive outlook in life.. 快乐要由自己争取.we cant help much, cuz we're not you. its only u urself tt can help.. its not a good feeling, but jus try to stay happy, hang in there...
and rmb, u're never alone. =) smilez...
goodnite!~
Hi Nic
So you r really true to yourself and very frank with us to. Now you are not alone and you are never alone.
There are people who love you - and you may not love them; there are people you love - but you have lost them; now there are fans who care and love you - u shld know tt the day you decided to step into SB, you shld expect the whole lots of us behind your back. YOU ARE NOT ALONE...
You may know us, some maybe and mostly by names but we all want you to know... all sadness learn from it, all happiness embrace and feel blessed. All path walked be it happy and sad, no regrets - it is part of growing up, growing wiser. I believe you are very 'artist' - but take time to feel the trees, touch the flowers, the soil beneath your feet, the wind on your face and the sky above you - YOU ARE ALIVE!
Take time man! The roads is never the same. If everything is so smooth, life will be a dead boring. Take time alone..but do not go into dead ends - do not indulge in self pity - in all sadness, there is a lesson to be learnt. The name is 'LET GO'.
MEMORIES are made of these.. isn't it? Stumbled..get up..pat your backside..and say..'Hey Nic..when it gets tough.. the tough gets going."
Many a time, we really cannot express what is deep inside us. Hoping that others understand is 'hopeless' bcos the needle is poking you and not them...All the good thing said and encouragement given are like 'blowing in the wind' - does it means anything? Just like this lot of 'dung' I am writing... do you understand? I am going around the 'bush' to give you encouragement..and hope this 'bush' is not 'on fire'.
Cheers buddy! We are man and a man stands tall - bcos we hv the country, the family, our love ones and now a 'fan' club behind you.
Emo or no Emo is like a knife with both side sharp - cut the right thing!
hi, gd morning & a happy day to nic, sam, weiqi, & all mlbians..
Saw Weilian on TW program, being interviewed, singing n playing his guitar.. i admired his guts..he is blind but is travelling & promotiing his passion.. same as MLB, he learnt his guitar fm friends' guidiance .. but being blind is even tougher..
so we, sighted ppl.. got something to learnt fm him.. Cheers! n Smile!
jus wanna say, dont overstress yourself.. not good for health definitely... when u're down, maybe try to find someone trustworthy... tell them ur troubles. sometimes pouring it out may be a lil more comfortable.
thanks for the bit of info... thou im pretty much praying it be wrong... [which i doubt it is la]its taxing for them to be performing so many times in that few days. sat, sun and tues...
u guys really got to jiayou and takecare okay? like i said, u guys know full well who're the people concerned about you... so dont make them worry... im sure u guys know what im saying yeah? ni zhi dao de~!
its a brand new day... thou im not in the best of moods today.. still, all hv a great day yeah? whatever comes ur way, jus try to face it w a smile... and continue walking...
haha don't accept more than what you can handle jiu dui le. Must learn to say no at times. Don't have to feel bad - I'm sure the relevant people will understand de. If they don't understand, the whole MLB family shall go on hunger strike together as a form of protest! wahahahaha.
just kidding. Don't mind me. haha. A little headache now. Kena frozen again. Today's lesson not too difficult, but now "mi lu" le. hmmm....

HELLO!
GOOD AFTERNOON PPL!
LOLS!
GIVON: REALLY? GIMME 51! HAHA! (:
The HD5 event is free admission is it? Hmms. But this sat and sun not free lar. Paiseh. Going Escape with frens XD!

But i most worry bout history cos MOST QUESTIONS I DUNNO HOW TO DO! AHHHH! HELP! HOW? :(
jodie, you purposely gek me is it? wahahaha. My paper starts this afternoon la. haha.
since the paper is already over, there's nothing much you can do liao. So no point lamenting over it. You can't be asking your teacher to give you back the paper to let you change answer or whatsoever arh. haha.
I'm feeling great now. Managed to find the "direction" to today's problem. But don't know correct ma. Bo pian, just try lor. haha.
can someone update me whether weiqi's exam is still ongoing or over liao? aiyoyo. Mr Chan, hope your exam won't be affected by these performances...
even Sam went MIA liao...so I supposed the guys are having a tough time now...=( aiyoyo.
to all my dear friends who will be going on Saturday and Sunday, let's give our most-est loudest cheers to the guys hao ma? They really hao xin ku.
I can't confirm with you my attendance on Sunday yet as I've mentioned earlier, I got a paper on Monday. But 为了他们，I shall 拼了 (not saying I can go there without studying for test la).
all jia you!
tinntinn, don't die leh! you will feel much better after crying and confiding to someone de. Just like me, last semester I went through a depressing period too. but never thought of dying though. anyway, you have to be strong for the sake of people who care for you. MLB family are one of those!
When you're feeling bad today, try helping people around you who need help. Even if it's the smallest favor such as helping someone to pick up his stuff that he dropped on the floor...will also make someone's day and make you smile too. Try it. you will feel better de. jia you!
nic!!!
whatever it is, please try t stay strong alrights. you're very much loved by all of us so i'm sure none of us want t see you sad.
did you ever let go, did you ever not know.
i'm not gonna stop, that's who i am.
i'll give it all i got, that is my plan.
will i find what i lost, you know you can.
i wanna make it right, that is the way.
to turn my life around, today is the day.
the answers are all inside of me, all i gotta do is believe.
CHEER UP ALRIGHTS! hope that you'l be smiling again real soon. manymany Loves.

'The Boy and the Apple Tree '
Original Author Unknown
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, and took a nap in the shade. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by, the little boy grew up and no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree, looking sad.
"Come and play with me", the tree said.
"I am no longer a kid,” remarked the boy tersely. “I do not play around trees any more. I want toys. I need money to buy them.”
The tree said, "Well, I do not have money, but you can pick my apples and sell them.”
The boy picked the tree clean of apples and left gleefully. He didn’t come back.
After many years, when the boy had grown into a man, he returned to the tree.
"Come and play with me,” the tree said excitedly.
"I do not have time to play,” said the man. “I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?"
To which the tree replied, "Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.”
This the man did and left. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted.
"Come and play with me!" the tree said.
"I am getting old,” said the man. “I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?"
"Use my trunk to build your boat,” said the tree. “You can sail far away and be happy."
So the man cut down the tree and made a boat. He went sailing and didn’t show up for a great number of years.
Finally, the man returned.
The tree, having been reduced to merely its roots, said, "Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples…”
"It’s ok, I do not have any teeth to bite them with," the man interrupted.
"No more branches or trunk for building houses and boats…”
"I am too old for all that now," the man said. “I just need a place to rest. I am so tired…”
The man sat down and nestled into the tree’s comfortably old roots.
The tree wept tears of joy.
Good afternoon Plants. Taking a breather before I go into next meeting. Came to check how the new home is doing. Looks like there are still some people not home yet. I hope to see mango - mum and boi, Pink Rose, Cedar & Willow here.
Need to go now and before I do, I attached a link here for all of you. You must really check it out because it is amazing....

YAWN.N.N.N.N.N.n.n.n! OMG, everytime I am xian in class I come here to peep. How come so less ppl here leh? So mani missing plants.
SUNFLOWER, wow! the crocman is really impressive.. Lacoste reali put money into advert. Really cool and can 'wow' all the girls.
Went to the main page. Felt very disconnected as reali dunoe wat's gg on. Looks like wei qi only reply to selected ppl n they r all charbo.s! Any of them there...are plants here?
Superband is coming and looking fwd to it. Who will be it this time around. Will we still see some cool n sleek dance moves from NuNai?
K. back to books! sigh...h.h.h.h
Came in to thank Sunflower for the gift and presence at our dinner. I read all the well wishes from Plants here.
Have been busy with work in China and with the wedding etc. it was hetic and madness. Have to hold dinner at three places. Singapore, Kuching and China. Willow's family is in Kuching. We went to HarErBin for honeymoon and went to look at 'bing tiao'.
Hi Coconut and if I still remember correctly, you are also Birdie right? Sunflower mentioned that she is seeing you all lesser now and what a pity. The next Superband II is coming soon and we will not be in Singapore to support.
Been back for a week now and will be leaving tomorrow. Going to shop for some necessities for Willow. See you all again.
Thanks Sunflower for pointing me to this address.
Take good care everyone.
hello Cedar.. ya, i am also birdie.. is a pleasure to know that u remember...
kuching must be an interesting country.. ah, if i remember correctly, kuching is also Sunflower's country of birth..
yrs ago, a late colleague, loved to visit ulu places.. kuching was one of his favourite.. told us, life there is more relaxing..
old men(headhunters) in the remote villages still display trophy human skulls in the long houses.. heard ppl there love noodles.. recently see some kuching konglo mee spruting up.. any1 tried? is it nice?..
Life here is v hectic.. is wk n wk.. i do come in as often as i can...but haha! more often than Sunflower herself..
Cedar/Willow - Wish ur pte gdn happiness & prosperous with plenty of pantlets & sweet fruits in the in the future..
one interesting article:-
Plants have human qualities.
They can talk to each other and even call in reinforcements when the going gets tough.
Can communicate with each other by
sending chemicals in an effort to repel the enemies..

waving to all naturins & mango tree/mango, missing ones... hope to c all soon...
happy sunday!
Hi Plants, Gd Afternoon. Managed to squeeze some time to come here today.
Cedar and Willow, you are always welcome back here.Missed Cedar again. I really miss the days when we all tagped and talk to ea other. Now, we leave mssg n wait so many days to come back n read the next one.
Mango, mango where art thou? Please come home. BOP, can you point mango back home please.
Coconut, No. I am not from Kuching. I am from Brunei. Kuching is a very quiet town. Went there for some soucing trips and changing flight when I visited my brothers in Miri.
Sorry to all the plants here, Sunflower is coming here lesser due to work and travelling. I will be gone again next month. Hope to take some nice pictures for you guys.
Stay happy and stay committed to MLB. Looks like MLB is now very familiar with all the regulars in the current date. We are the hidden recluse.
Last Friday I managed to go to the beach and swim with my siblings. It was so wonderful. The morning part weather was very good and it started raining in the afternoon. I wanted to see Ama Keng again and all the memory of Chua Chu Kang/ Lim Chu Kang so I drove all the way there. Used to camp at the end of CCK/LCK with friends overnight on a fishing pond. Ama Keng is the place we went for food. Now the landscape changed so much. I love this part of Lim Chu Kang too. It is very ulu and still unspoilt. So if you ask me what I do if I hv time, I will drive around Singapore and avoid all the city areas. Next time I shall bring my camera and take pictures. I found a Fire Fly Farm in CCK, so interesting.
OK, that's all for now. Cheng Ming is around the corner and we expect more rainfall. It is the time we remember our ancestors. Don't go out too late in the night as you will run into 'good brothers'.
Cheers and have a great week ahead.
Hi Sunflower!

Happy travelling & All the Best to U.
rosemary & coconut,
Will you all be attending POTP Anniversary Celebrations on 31st Mar. 2008 to support MLB? Haven't seen you gals at MLB's events for so.....loooooong!
I have applied leave on that day just to attend the event. Hope to see you gals. :)
To All beautiful plants in this garden,
Take care & have a nice day...
Hello Sunflower Ayi & Coconut Ayi. I came back to serve the army and it is really tiring and tough. I Know how it is like for Nic Kor. He probably got more activities than us.
I have forgotten most of the people here in their actual names I know them. I have also lost touch with the Blog and MLB's activities. There are still the faithful here as for me I think I have out grown from the devotion to Nic Kor. We grow up and it is too tacky for guyz to take part in all these blogging.
I am sure Sunflower Ayi must hv mentioned that Dad retired. It is abt time too. Apple got married, me in army so the family is like less noisy. Abt time Mum retire too and both of them can travel. Aft army I will go back to uni in UK.
Looks like Sunflower Ayi is less active now. After her promotion she is travelling even more.I cannot find her to have dinner with her because she either work late, rush reports, travel, meetings etc. Please bear with her.
Coconut Ayi is as usual. You are the pillar here. I am sorry I cannot find the other home. Cueless! Your story is still as interesting and I believe you read alot.
Congratulation to Cedar and Willow. I know Cedar, he is Blue Surgeon right? Good to know he came back here once a while.
Wave to BOP, rosemary, mango tree, lalang and..........sorry
Cocoa already in army ? pulau tekong?
BOP, mango also applied leave on 31st but dont know whether approved?
he sms me this evening.. he saw nic in camp.
went back old house to check anything left over...
coconut, really forget what to tell you, maybe abt China?
rosemary, 寻人启事! very good describe!
last week take bus no.72 pass by Tampines old road, that section of road, no change.. increase my sad feeling.. i like to recall, but always feel sad..
Hi Cocoa,
Its good that you are serving the NS. Not to worry too much, you will get used to it soon. Jia-you...
Think I have to disagree with you that: it is too tacky for guyz to take part in blogging. Just blog whenever you are free & if you have something to share.
Hi mango tree,
Welcome back to our new garden, you have finally found us.
Oh, I just contacted mango minutes ago and get to know that his leave already approved. We will meet on that day.
Please take it easy & don't feel sad, whatever past already passed. Life still got to move on, lets be Happy :)
Hi Plants, good morning and 10 min. b4 noon. I came here bcos I got an sms from Cocoa tat he came in to tag. He probably scared of me being so lor soh. Ha.a.a.a.a
Mango Tree Mum, welcome home.Mango still in camp. I forgot he is also in the army. Cocoa is in P. Tekong - is everybody there? Spare me bcos I really lost touch where are the camps now. He mentioned he saw Nic too but Nic do not know who is he.
Mango Tree, I lived in Tampines too. Old Tampines Road is a long and quiet road. I love this road but a bit scary at night and yet I drive into it instead of taking TPE. There are so many temples towards to end leading to Giant, Ikea and Courts. Sorry I think I shld not asked but may I say something? In Life, we travel the road, sometime it is smooth, sometime it is rough, sometime we stumbled and falls. The landscape sometime is beautiful, sometime it is sad - we experience Life and no matter how heartbroken we are, Life goes on and the sun will shine again tomorrow. The Good and The Bad make our time on earth worthwhile.
Every time I come across something that hurts, it is like taking an exam - you either pass, fail or breakeven. Open your heart and set yourself free...Love yourself and be kind to yourself. I am not going to tell you it doesn't matter because you know the pain because the needle pricked you. Look at the pain and you will see it slowly subsides - how soon? Up to you.
I think I am a girl without any 'tau hua yuen'. The funny thing that all the plants I bought with flowers, after a while only left green leaves.
BOP, I suppose 'ang moh boi' like Cocoa is a bit different. To have him stay with us on MLB Blog for so long is amazing. Given his family background, his education, the type of friends - I am suprised that he even bother to tag here but again that was timing.
OK, got to run. Keep this place warm and caring. Mango Tree, although we have not met but Sunflower is always here for you and all plants.
Cheers
Oh Sunflower,
You are still in Singapore? Spend times with all your love ones before you leave again. :)
Believe most army bois will get to see Nic, at least till before he ORD. Cos Nic is in the MDC (Music & Drama Company), so they will go to all camps to perform for the newly enlisted guys or whenever a camp have big celebration likes aniversary dinner.
Oic, didn't know that "ang moh boi" are diffrent. Well, as what I said: blog whenever you are free, or got something to share.
Weekend is coming soon, jia-you...
Hi hi ... not sure if any plants still remember me & my small bb? But still want to send our greeting to all flowers & plants in the secret garden! ^_^
small bb is in P3 now. Doing fine & love to play computer games. Not sure if you can view it but this is my angle:

Me ... now live my life around her & work. Sometimes, I feel tt i got no life. So i always try to steal some times with my friends. =p
Hopefully, we can meet soon. Especially in May coz it is Sunflower & my birth month. =)
Lastly, I want to share this with you.

here r some nice stories posted by mary bukoh (933). if u did tune in to her prog, shld hv heard too.
初恋是一张试纸
他与她青梅竹马
4岁，他开始喜欢她。
9岁，在学校读书，她受了委屈会去找他，再没同学欺负她。
18岁，他们相约考入同一所大学，每天一起上课，一起去学校食堂吃午饭。她有不开心的事了，依然会去找他，把他当做自己的大哥一样。
19岁，他对她说：做我的女朋友吧。她点点头答应了，感觉很幸福。
21岁，他们分手了。她流泪问他：你真爱上别的女孩子？
他点点头，有点无奈。
她又问：她漂亮吗？
他淡淡地答：你能肯定我们就是最合适的吗？我不想把这么美好的青春只给一个人。你难道不想再试试除我而外的其他男人吗？
毕业之后，他们一直没有任何联系。
25岁，她成了当红的女主播，他也在一家电视台做幕后翻译。这些年，他恋爱一场又一场，每次结束一段感情，都会想起她。
26岁，她结婚，只是觉得疲倦，好想找个肩膀靠一靠。
她主播的节目，他会小心避开，他怕看见电视里的她。
她事业很好，却是个生活一团糟的女子，家务也不会做。家里尽管有了佣人，她的丈夫依然处处对她不满。
有一晚，他们吵了嘴，她开车出去在街上转了一晚，不知为什么，想起他，眼泪忽然落下来。
29岁，她离婚。
31岁那年，他辗转找到她的电话号码，犹豫很久打了过去，这已是他们分手的第10个年头了。
10年，可以改变一个人很多，对事情的看法，也完全不一样了。
31岁那年，她与他在酒店的大厅见面，往事历历在目，经过这些年的波折，都知道了生命中值得珍惜的情感并不多。两个人用了10年的青春，绕了很大一圈又回到了起点。
婚后很幸福。她因为经历过一次失败的婚姻，已懂得如何心疼一个男人；他对失而复得的这份爱，更加珍惜。如果不是这10年的经历，他们大概不会懂得这份婚姻对彼此的重要性。初恋是爱情的一张试纸，很多时候，我们都以为会有更好的人等在后面。殊不如，最好的人有时就在眼前，错过这一站，有时就错过了一生。
here's d o/r one:
蜻蜓的故事
在一个非常宁静而美丽的小城，有一对非常恩爱的恋人，他们每天都去海边看日出，晚上去海边送夕阳，每个见过他们的人都向他们投来羡慕的目光。
可是有一天，在一场车祸中，女孩不幸受了重伤，她静静地躺在医院的病床上，几天几夜都没有醒过来。白天，男孩就守在床前不停地呼唤毫无知觉的恋人；晚上，他就跑到小城的教堂里向上帝祷告，他已经哭干了眼泪。
一个月过去了，女孩仍然昏睡着，而男孩早已憔悴不堪了，但他仍苦苦地支撑着。终于有一天，上帝被这个痴情的男孩感动了。于是他决定给这个执着的男孩一个例外。上帝问他：“你愿意用自己的生命作为交换吗？”男孩毫不犹豫地回答：“我愿意！”上帝说：“那好吧，我可以让你的恋人很快醒过来，但你要答应化作三年的蜻蜓，你愿意吗？”男孩听了，还是坚定地回答道：“我愿意！”
天亮了，男孩已经变成了一只漂亮的蜻蜓，他告别了上帝便匆匆地飞到了医院。女孩真的醒了，而且她还在跟身旁的一位医生交谈着什么，可惜他听不到。
几天后，女孩便康复出院了，但是她并不快乐。她四处打听着男孩的下落，但没有人知道男孩究竟去了哪里。女孩整天不停地寻找着，然而早已化身成蜻蜓的男孩却无时无刻不围绕在她身边，只是他不会呼喊，不会拥抱，他只能默默地承受着她的视而不见。夏天过去了，秋天的凉风吹落了树叶，蜻蜓不得不离开这里。于是他最后一次飞落在女孩的肩上。他想用自己的翅膀抚摸她的脸，用细小的嘴来亲吻她的额头，然而他弱小的身体还是不足以被她发现。
转眼间，春天来了，蜻蜓迫不及待地飞回来寻找自己的恋人。然而，她那熟悉的身影旁站着一个高大而英俊的男人，那一刹那，蜻蜓几乎快从半空中坠落下来。人们讲起车祸后女孩病得多么的严重，描述着那名男医生有多么的善良、可爱，还描述着他们的爱情有多么的理所当然，当然也描述了女孩已经快乐如从前。
蜻蜓伤心极了，在接下来的几天中，他常常会看到那个男人带着自己的恋人在海边看日出，晚上又在海边看日落，而他自己除了偶尔能停落在她的肩上以外，什么也做不了。
这一年的夏天特别长，蜻蜓每天痛苦地低飞着，他已经没有勇气接近自己昔日的恋人。她和那男人之间的喃喃细语，他和她快乐的笑声，都令他窒息。
第三年的夏天，蜻蜓已不再常常去看望自己的恋人了。她的肩被男医生轻拥着，脸被男医生轻轻地吻着，根本没有时间去留意一只伤心的蜻蜓，更没有心情去怀念过去。
上帝约定的三年期限很快就要到了。就在最后一天，蜻蜓昔日的恋人跟那个男医生举行了婚礼。
蜻蜓悄悄地飞进教堂，落在上帝的肩膀上，他听到下面的恋人对上帝发誓说：我愿意！他看着那个男医生把戒指戴到昔日恋人的手上，然后看着他们甜蜜地亲吻着。蜻蜓流下了伤心的泪水。
上帝叹息着：“你后悔了吗？”蜻蜓擦干了眼泪：“没有！”上帝又带着一丝愉悦说：“那么，明天你就可以变回你自己了。”蜻蜓摇了摇头：“就让我做一辈子蜻蜓吧……”
有些缘分是注定要失去的，有些缘分是永远不会有好结果的。爱一个人不一定要拥有，但拥有一个人就一定要好好去爱他。你的肩上有蜻蜓吗？
Hi Plants, April Fool day, 1st April... 5 years ago today..Leslie died. I cried 5 years ago, 5 years later I still cry today. Never love any artist so much as I love Leslie. Although very busy preparing for my trip but I cannot stop listening to his songs.
Attached a link to a very nice song written for GorGor and like to share it with you all - to remember a true performer. Someone no other can replace - whether he acts or sings, on and off stage - he is so charismatic. Enjoy this song..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8wqGyixDhM&NR=1
hi rosemary,
Sorry for the late reply. I was infront but at the left side of the stage, which was nearer to the stage for the yes933 POTP 25yrs aniversaries celebration.
Wow, thanks for sharing the 2 nice & touching stories.
hi coconut,
didn't know that you are so busy. Hope you are not too stressful.
hi sunflower,
again we have another same artiste as our idol. ya, I also cannot believe what happened to Leslie 5yrs ago and I cried too.
So far we have 3 artistes that we loved are the same, namely: Leslie, Sly & MiLuBing. Wondering there is anymore popping up? hehe.....
fyi, my others old timer idols are: 刘文正，江玲，沈雁，许冠杰，梅艳芳，王杰。
Wishing all the beautiful plants in this garden, a happy & great weekend. :)
Yoz Plants. Lalang in the house. Wa, here very cold de wo. How come r? So mani missing ppl leh.
Went to peep at the main.. really don't know wat they talking abt - like some 'kao shou guo cao' ppl like me see stars.
Hellow Sunflower, Coconut, BOP, Rosemary, Mango Tree long time no tag here. Everyday think want to come but 'think' only and nvr come. Mind a bit loose and confused w too mani projects. Hope u guys are happy with works. Hungry n am gg to feed myself. ciao.
popping by...
so lalang, hv u had ur fill? i juz had mine... enjoying a cup of soya bean drink now... ;-)
sunflower, u still in phuket? take care & hv fun there despite ur bz work.
coconut, chingming starts d wk b4 rt? last wkend i pass-by d bishan temple... lots of pple gg there i tink, so there was a long q of cars. den at d junction, 2 drivers were hving heated arguements. there was already a long q, yet they can stop at d turning junction to quarrel. slowing dwn d traffic flow. since all r gg for d same purpose, so shld b more patience & b considerate. i guess 1 of d driver might hv d o/r's cut-q.
counting dwn to wkend! yeah!
Good evening Plants. I got back from Phuket last friday and was very sick. So many ppl attending meetings for 1 week non stop and many coughing and running fever so I follow the 'trend'. My fever went up to 40 deg and drop to 39 deg and go up again. I thought I die liao! Actually suppose to fly back Saturday but cannot take it anymore so die die get a seat n fly back lor. Doc is afraid i got the worst of the flu bugs. Heavy antibotic and medcines and my mouth blisters.
Good to see lalang here, always so cheery with his posting.
Hi Rosemary, gd to see you here too. Just went to drop a note at the main and once in a lifetime I get to be the first one to post.
Hi Coconut and all the nature citizens. Take care and drinks lots of water... looks like the 'bugs' is around.
Yes, ChingMing started. It reminds me of Mum and all my love ones who have left me. I never forget Cindy too....rain and more rain makes the day very grey.
Sometime I wonder whether I need to work so hard. I have passed the mark I set for myself a long way already. If I don't work, what do I want to do with myself leh?
OK, guys I need to drive myself home and will come by when I am free.
Oh! have anyone of you when to the 'flywheel'? Nothing exciting really. For the experience but really nothing much.
Bie!
Hi folks, came in a bit early today before it gets too busy. Will be leaving for Miri this weekend and for the long break in May. You all may want to wish me Happy Birthday as it falls on 1st May. Everyone celebrates and no one can forget, ha.a.a.a.a.a.!
Ya Mango, I think we woman must check yearly. The basic checks but it is actually meaningless bcos I have friends who checked but not detected anything until too late. I think the best way is to keep yourself healthy, eat moderate, be Happy, yes, Happy as life is short. People who are not easily sick will get really sick when they do... not died la! So easy meh? YOur body need to detox.
As for me, I am also the not easy sick type and this time when I am down, I am really flat. Recovering but not totally recovered. I will take care de. Thanks to all plants for concern.
Long time din see MLB ler, came into the blog also read in a hurry. Recently long postings from Nicplant but I hv no time to digest everything. Qiplants poor thing, so school projects and exams dominated his time mostly. How come Samplant missing, hope he is well.
I missed you guys, BB, Coconut, BOP, Rosemary, Rose, Mango (mother and son). I met Cocoa rcently and together with his GF we went to the Flywheel. Nothing exciting - 2 rounds and pay S$200 and only finger food - jia buai pa de. After that very hungry so end up in Taiwan Poridge in Oasis. Oh! you guys note that this place is close down, don't go ya! They move to Tao Payoh and the day I went was the last day of business at Oasis.
The Mat Selamat case is making S'pore shy. I watch Channel News Asia daily and until we catch him, this topic will nvr end. Althouhg ppl said he is still in Singapore, my gut feel said that he has escaped to Indonesia. I really cannot understand such terrorist concept - do GOD really encourage such killing for the sake of GOD's business? Do ppl really think they can convert the whole world into Muslim or the unconvert deserve to die? What went wrong and where went wrong to human being? Animal kills for food, we kill for some reason we think GOD wanted - if there is a GOD to the good muslim, can he please tell them that ppl lives belongs to themselves and not that anyone can take life for his/her own reason. I do not like to see innocent die nor do I want to see Mat Selamat die - so looks like in history of the Bible - both cities need to be burnt to ashes for their immorality.
Recently I use to ponder what is right and what is wrong - is there a benchmark?
Looking at SBII with the winning money, really feel unjust to MLB. The amount of exposure given to them is also not great.
Recommend you all a singer I like -Leo Ku or Ku G Ji.. he has such deep eyes and a good voice. He is a good actor too.
So much for this monring. Have a good week ahead.
Life is like a graph, sometimes up & sometimes down.
An ex-colleague marrried with a child, had annual check-up, the result always gd. One wk after a recent check-up, while bathing, she detected a small lump at the breast area. She panicked, n sad to say was cmfd beast cancer. She went for breast surgery, then chemo. Poor lady, she recd an extra blow - her husband left her for another woman.
This is an individual's life journey - fate?
I agreed, MDA was v unfair to the participants of SB1. No reward, no cert, nothing - infact it applies to all those starsearch talents as well. How many of them really had been looked after by MDA?.
'Romance in the Rain' - enjoyed this drama v much - by Leo Ku & Vicky Zhao Wei.
enjoy yr Sunday~
tired... watched a great concert on sat...
mango tree, tat's power! stay healthy!
sunflower, tink many pple oso tink tat mas selamat has escaped... if he's still in sg, shld hv caught him by now.

hv a great wk every1!
Hi Plants, Wonderful people - so nice to come in a see you all here. Now a bit free so come in a show my face. I also want to share a story. Aiya! I cried when I read it and my staff were thinking what upset me, did they??? ha.a.a.a.a. My friend's daughter got into Superband2 so looks like I got to dig pocket again but gladly so. So here is the story...
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.' Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'' The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.'' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.' I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. 'No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.'
His eyes were so sad while saying this. 'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.'
Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.' 'I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' 'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough.' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!' Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
Moral of the story….
The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving...hope the story touches your heart.
hi, wkend is here & happy mothers' day to bel and mango tree & also to all de naturians' mums..
tis week is friendship week.. let us all pray for ppl who are suffering in one way or another, especially the ppl of Mynamar, who are really suffering.. is v sad.

gd nite! yawn!
Ha.a.a.a.a long time missing. Lalang the early bird. Come as and when I remember n in the middle of 'study'. How is everybodies? Agree with coconut with both hands up - do pray and support the Myanmar people now. One thingy, it is not easy to support them, their government is restricting support from outside. How?
YTD got dinner with Mother and whole family. I am wondering can we think of something more interesting - every time is eat and eat - easy way out. To show our appreciation or appreciate our stomach??
Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers here. For curiosity, how many Mothers here ar?
ciao
Hi Plants. Sorry I MIA. Have been busy with work and also down with this terrible cough until my internal organs turn upside down de. It will not subside until I am gasping for breath. Doctor said my last flu wasn't totally cure. Now I have to suffer. I went to Chinese singseh and he said if I don't I will become asmathic. How are? Die ler. Please to see the activities of MLB. Wave to everyone here. Ciao! Weekend ler go n support MLB OK?

Hvn't bn there since months ago. I lost touch w MLB too. Stay well! Hi lalang, where are you?

Wave~ how's every1?
V quiet here. All de plants must be v bzy, but do remember to pop in occasionally to relax & share.
Glad to know both Cedar & Willow are fine.
Just something to share..
'One Billionaire was at the beach one day. He owns many ships. He saw a fisherman, relaxing letting time passed. He felt that the fisherman was wasting his time and did not have plan to own a ship and develop a career so that he can be rich and retire like him, to relax at the beach & enjoy life.
The Fisherman said, 'that's what I am doing now. I don't have to be rich to enjoy life'.
Happy weekend!
Hi Plants, it has bn sometime that I am here. Sorry hv been travelling and workloads are getting heavier. Looks like this place is very cold...warmed by Coconut and Rosemary...The new SB2 is starting and a new group is emerging. My friend daughter is in the group Tu Zi....so support them if you can.....
Cheers
Sorry, have been MIA for quite some times liao! But, I am at the main blog almost nightly.
Haiz...I am gonna be jobless from 18th July onwards. The company I currently working in, is going to close down. :(
It is tough for me to find a good job, because majority company rejected interviewees that are above 35yo. :(
Oh... MLB album gonna release in July, wondering I still have times to turn up all promos?
Hopefully, God will lead me on. :)
halo BOP, wat happened to ur co.? y suddenly closed dwn? u slogged so hard 4 them yet ends up winding up d biz...
dun b dishearted... juz go to those job search channels & sure there'll b jobs available.
d co tat my bro-in-law's worked oso closed dwn recently & he din get paid for 2 mths. lucky he managed to get a new job now. else it'll b a little tough on my sis to support d fam.
sunflower, tu zi's grp i like their style of music but d singing nt strong enuf. went to watch at imm tat day, cant really hear wat d singer is singing. but their image is cute... looking fwd to d 1st sb2 competition nxt mon.
hv a gd wkend all!
Hi rosemary,
Thanks for your concerns. Think there are many ppl likes me whose companies have closed down. Perhaps, manufacturing lines in Singapore gonna die off soon!
The company I currently working in also never gives us good compensation, our 1mth notice not paid to us & yet we have to serve the company. The retrenchment package was pretty bad too; every 1yr of service only entitled for 8days payment. Imagine I worked 8yrs, instead of gaining 8mths payment, I am getting only 64days (slightly more than 2mths) payments. Haiz...
Wondering anyone here can give me some advice?
Actually, I am thinking of signing up a diploma course in tourism & hospitality management (either in Temasek or Nangyang Polytechnics). Then, someone who is in this trade advised me not to switch job(from manufacturing to service) due to my age & starting salary. Therefore, I am stucked now!
Should I sign up for the course?
hi BOP, is gd to hear fm u.. naturians miss u, thot u had misrouted..
sori to hear of yr co's closure & u being short-changed, hope u can get another job soon.. lots of ppl are taking up hospitality courses..
it shd be gd.. but better to go thru the course subjects to know whether yr interest is there..
a friend's middle-age husband was wkg as a Manager in a big firm, the boss sold his co. to someone else.. the new boss retrenched all exising employees, same thing, they were paid only 2mths salaries .. he is nw wkg as a taxi-driver..
Life can be v tough!
BOP gd luck to u!
birdie,
Thanks for your well wishes & concerns too. :)
Ya, agree that life is tough. Especially when all prices are shooting high up!
Oh, that fren's hubby of yours was only paid 2mths because he is a management staff. In fact, he should be considered lucky, cos usually management level only got 1mth compensation.
Well, not to worry too much. 天无绝人之路。Strongly believe that God will help & lead me. :)
Feel so blessed in this beautiful garden, thanks to all naturians. 谢谢大家。
halo all...
bop, if u wanna a chg of job, most likely u may nt b able to draw wat u r drawing now. nt too sure if it's a gd choice though to chg or shld u actually stick to ur current scope.
if u tink u r able to take d pay cut & to start low again, den mayb u can go for it.
as coconut (birdie - haa... u forgot u r in garden) said, u shld go research on d course & c if u really like. it might b a burden to take on a course now esp u r gg to b out of job soon.
Oh ya, thanks bb, rosemary, coconut tree & all beautiful plants for the well wishes & jia-you.
A little sidetrack, I personally do not think that this new season of Superbands are better than season 1. Overall, MLB is still the BEST. :)
All Season 1 (S'pore Idol, Superband, Project Superstar & Campus Superstar) singing competitions' winners & finalists are always better than Season 2.
Hi guys, so sorry long time I did not show my face. To see all of you here is a joy.
BOP, don't be disheartened. One door close another will open. Life is full of challenges. Jiayou! I pray for you successful interview.
Rosemary, BB and Birdie - thank you for tagging here.
Mango, hello and hope all is well with you and Mango boi.
Lalang seems to be missing. Willow and Cedar too.
Thanks for support TuZi. I told them that they need to buck up on their singing and song selections too...but songs are given by the judges. Due to my travelling, I din even see the first competition. I think a Band name is also important..if they want to go universal..why all Singaporean name...de!
OK, got to run to main blog and show my face.
Cheers and keep well.
Thank you very much for all the well wishes & prayers from all the beautiful plants here. I really appreciate & feel very touched. :)
My interview for Sales Coodinator was sucessful, shall start work on 1st Aug at Loyang Industrial. But sad that there is a pay cut as compare to my present job. And their expectations from me are quite high, cos this is an executive post. I was interviewed by the HR Executive, Sales Manager & General Manager before been offered this position.
My six sense also keep telling me that this company might not be a very good one. But I just take up the job 1st, because my new boss allow me to apply nearly 2 weeks of unpaid leaves in Oct. I need to go Taiwan for my buddhist study. If the job is suitable I will definitely continue, if not I will look out for another job after my Taiwan trip.
Anyway, I will Jia-you. :)
Wow, why is this beautiful garden so cold? Where have all the beautiful plants been to?
Just to update a little about myself; tml shall be my last day of work at my existing company (after 8 years of hard works) hehe... its Happie de lor.
I shall be going for a short break at Bali from 22-29 July, then rest for 2 days before I start working at a new company (mentioned in my previous mail) on 1st Aug. Will continue to work hard & jia-you de. Thanks God for Blessing me Forever. 阿弥陀佛
All th Best to the beautiful plants here. Take care & stay Healthy 4ever. :)

Oh, I am back from Bali about an hour ago.
Actually, there is nothing much to tell about Bali. It is a beach resort with beautiful sand, sea & waves. Very good for those who love to surf, suntan & relaxation. Things are not cheap over there, most of the shops are selling almost the same items. Due to lazy in bargaining, I bought most of the things from bigger departmental stores (likes Matahari & Carefour). I did not go to Sogo too, I spent most of my times at the beach but different locations (cos the beach stretches from Kuta to Legian & then Seminyak). So, I stayed in 3 hotels at these 3 locations during my trip. Dunno what else to say le?
Hope every plants here have a great week ahead. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE !
This is my favourite National Day songs among all..
One people, one nation, one Singapore
======
We've built a nation with our hands
The toil of people from a dozen lands
Strangers when we first began, now we're Singaporean
Let's reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore
One people, one nation, one Singapore
That's the way that we will be forevermore
Every creed and every race, has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore
And when the time comes for the test
Our vigilance will never rest
We'll be united, hand in hand
We'll show the world just where we stand
And reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore
Hi Plants
Sori hv bn missing. Coconut will tell u all herself wen she is ready. Pray for her peace of mind.
Actually nothing much to say to u all. Looks like many r missing here too. I hope they find their way home.
Tuzi..one of the specky is my colleagues daughter. A bit weak but willing to try. They r the top 8 now. Pls support them.
Wanted to post a link here to some of my pictures but so tied down with the younger generations. Growing up is so complicating...how come I nvr hv such problem? Probably I am more simple minded.
Thanks for warming the garden. I hv lost touch with MLB too BUT my support for them continue.....
Hi mango tree,
Ya, I am still trying very hard to get used to the environment at my new workplace. The most major problem I am facing now is not so much about the work, but it is the lighting in my office. I just don't like the warm light, it not only makes me feel sleepy. I feel very uncomfortable especially in the afternoon. Anyway, thanks for your concern.
Sunflower,
Wow, you are finally back in this beautiful garden. Ya, it has been quite quiet lately! Of course we know you are still a great supporter for MLB (just that you are tied up with your job & other commitments)
Btw, what happen to coconut? Anyway, lets pray for everyone in the MLB family. May God Bless All of Us :)
Pink Rose,
Ya, agree with you that schools are crazy nowsaday. Well, you just have to jia-you & do your best.

Coconut,

i always got wordless to console people..
BOP,
heard you quit your job ? whatever lah, follow your heart.. 开心就好!
For the new album, i love the most: breathe!
i dun like '三角行'.. really, i dun like the lyric.. its should write about friendship instead of triangle love story.
am i weird?
rosemary,
i watched sb2 final just coz our milubing.. not really care about the result since '伍个人' out..
some times go youtube watch their '心中的日月', i think this is their best performance..
and.. thanks for the photo to share.. oh, nic and sam share the same jacket?
mango said: mama, your garden friend talk to me. i ask who? he said dare not ask.. was that you?
mango tree, glad to see u here! garden has been so quiet lately...
haa... ya, tat day at bpp, when turing in to d plaza, saw u & ik. den at d venue oni saw ik so i ask abt u. ;-) din expect he know who am i!
tink BOP has started a new job... he's now in taiwan on a buddhist study.
abt d album, i share diff views. i quite like 三角行... though d lyrics is abt triangle love, but quite like d way sam sings... got feel... haa...
jacket - i tink it's d same leh... u take a look again.
counting dwn to long wkend!
Wow, its been a more than a month since I last visited this garden.
Ya, why is it still so cold & quiet here?
rosemary,
mango tree was right, I have quitted my last job since 7th Oct. Because of the environment & was quite unhappy working there during that 2mths.
And you are right, I was away to Taiwan for a Buddhist Studies Trip. Therefore, I am unable to search for a new job. Fyi, I just returned last Friday.
I am searching for a new job now. hehe... wish me good luck.
Quite sad that I was unable to attend any of the autograph session, my albums still do not have MLB's signature. Hopefully, there is gai-ban and another autograph session.
Alrite, BOP needs to get back to bed le. Good night & sweet dreams to all the beautiful plants in this garden.
