The Cube

Forgive and forget. That’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. When someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled… old wounds never heal. And the most we can hope for, is that one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.

Quoted from Grey's Anatomy - The Heart of the Matter, narrated by Meredith Grey

Somehow I realise, I have this thing for shows with narration. Be it Grey's Anatomy or Macgyver (have been catching up with this old show for a bit) or even HK drama. Maybe, in some ways or another, those narrations do hit a chord or two.


Side note: Will terminate the phone line & internet later in the morning...

Just finished watching this HK drama 最美丽的第7天. In one of the episode, there was this narration that when I heard of it, I paused the show, and start googling.

没有他的日子
黑夜的每个角落，都充斥着他的身影，弥漫着他的气味，残留着他的笑声，她与他的感觉渐渐失去，虽然失去了，至少你曾经拥有，和他一起笑着走过的一段路。。。。。。

No... it doesn't have any special meaning to me, but it is indeed a good phrase.


Side note: I learnt a new medical condition from the show - Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). It is a rare autosomal dominant hereditary disorder which greatly increases the susceptibility to cancer. The syndrome is due to a mutation in the p53 tumor suppressor gene which normally helps control cell growth.

Was looking through the cluttered files in my HDD and found this media file. I got a bit distracted from the organizing... its easy to be distracted from cleaning & organizing anyway. It was this media file prepared by Little P for Moomoo gal for her last day at work, dated back in August 2007. Time sure flies. In a few blinks, from frolicking in paddy fields, she is now running marathon in the lion city.

Reminded me when I was deleting mails from my lotus notes in office a couple of days ago. There were mails from friends that I have forgotten that I've wrote all those long emails, to people whom I have not emailed to for a while. I guess once in a while, we ought to remind ourselves to stop for a while, to take some time off, write some long winded emails or letters. Keeping in touch with long lost friends. At least for myself. I think I ought to. A short sms may lead to adding of a friend in the instant messengers and daily chats to keep my sanity.

To the one faraway tuck in the middle east, or the ones having lunch time now in the lion city down south, or those in expensive lands further north, or the ones hopping with kangaroos, or the ones I have not been writing to for a bit... I shall be good. I shall pick up my pen or start typing emails... :)

In the train from Lao Cai, heading to Hanoi, an Italian young lady said in Italian, "How come there isn't any Italian guy?"

A Vietnamese young man replied her, also in Italian, "There isn't any Italian guy but there's a Vietnamese guy who can speak fluent Italian."

The lady was surprise and shock, running back to her berth, she explained to her friend, "OMG, OMG, there's this Vietnamese who speaks fluent Italian!"

Ok... the first two sentence, I have totally no clue about it... cos I don't understand Italian at all to save my life. The third sentence was in English and when I heard it before knowing the whole story, I was wondering why is it that she was so embarassed.

And now, you would question, then how did I get to know the whole story? Reason is simple. My sis and I got to know this talented young people on our journey to Sapa. And this Italian speaking Vietnamese young man is one of them. :)


Side note: I was just packing my things and saw the half written "story" above. Decided to complete it. Just an excerpt from my memory

First post Vietnam 2008

Are you guilty of turning your pen or pencil when working on your homework? :P

Oh well, I was chatting with a friend over YM and I have this vivid memory of him sitting next to me in Physics tuition class during Form 6 and turning his pen effordlessly. I casually asked him if he still turns his pen. He still does... and me? I'm still trying hard to learn that.

Opps... now you know why I did badly in my Physics back then... got distracted. Haha... just joking lar. Another friend said I just don't have the gene for pen turning :P
