I'm not Jimmy so this post title is just some other nonsensical tripe to fill up space.
Ever since the haze rescinded, my exercise regime has show signs of normalcy again. Readers unfamiliar with my lifestyle and exercise regime might start to imagine me scaling mountains, swimming in the choppy open sea and running to JB on a routine basis. Although truth can sometimes stranger than fiction, I do not participate in those sporting activities mentioned above. What I do (or masquerade) as a form of exercise is to go to the gym and enjoy the air con, drink my share of fluid from the water cooler and catch Doraemon on the TV whenever it is being aired. Up till this point, readers must be puzzled over how did the haze affect your exercise regime, since I'm holed up in the gym most of the time. Before I let you in on the answer, let me describe the gym that I frequent. The gym, is situated on the 2nd floor of the Tampines Swimming Complex, having transparent glass panels that stretch from the floor to ceiling for windows. The beauty of the gym is that it offers a close to panoramic view of the various swimming pools housed in the complex. With the haze rescinding, my enjoyment level in the gym has gone up tremendously not because of better air quality but due to the fact that............ The bikini babes are back in the swimming pool! However it's not good news with the haze disappearing. Peddling on the stationary bike now is a wee bit more difficult with all the bikini clad gals frolicking in the pool in front of me. But hell, I'll gladly live with that inconvenience. (Not so) Random Picture of the Day  Er..not exactly the kind of bikini babes I'm talking about.

Although I've spent an obscene amount of money (no, I'm not one of the nut cases who bought the $888 tickets to Rain's concert), it's still a regret of mine that I didn't fork out the money for Beyond's farewell concert held last year.
Fell in love with them after buying their Live and Basic live recording album in JC1. Passionate and full of energy, the band rocked the house down and capped off the performance with an emotional track 海阔天空 that is dedicated to their late lead singer, 黄家驹. The song too, was particularly meaningful to me as I was coping with the loss of my friend during that period too. 耳听为虚,眼见为实 (Seeing is believing), so here's the emotionally charged video recording of that song.

Ah.. the return of the much loved but rarely used post title. My eyes are welling up just by seeing the post title. *sniff*
A day after yyy asked me when am I getting a girlfriend, the SDU membership package arrived in my mailbox. How apt. A week of two extremes. In what started of as a Lang Suay, Qi Jiao Bian Gong Kuay kind of a week, it turned into a Lang Heng, Qi Jiao Bian Lao En (人旺,养鸟变老鹰) week as there was a palpable upturn in fortunes. Finally some good news were received pertaining to the job hunt process and the week ended off with a winning return to the mahjong table, in which I displayed a rare midas touch in whatever tiles I drew. Speaking of that mahjong game, X and I were severely traumatized by the strings of "OH MY GOD!!" that rs let out when she discovered the unconventional sexual tendency of one of her male colleague. OH MY GOD!!!! I actually heard a Cantonese song being played in its entirety on national radio!OH MY GOD!!!! Justin (侧田)'s Volar must hold the honor of being the first Cantonese song played on our airwaves since the days when Alan Tam was still 25 years old.....Wait, he's still 25 isn't he? Using the ubiquitous Starbucks as a meeting place in nation's largest shopping mall Vivocity is a recipe for disaster. I thought X donned the invisible cloak until we realized we were waiting for each other at different Starbucks outlets in the same building. Why do we need so many coffee joints in this country? If you enjoy a mind bender of a movie, go catch Prestige. It got more twists than a pack of Twisties. If you seriously want to get mind fucked, either go buy, steal, rob, borrow or even prostitute yourself for a DVD of the Memento. It makes the twist at the end of Sixth Sense looks like a kid's play. Still on the topic of movies, it would be extremely sad if Japan disappears from the world map as depicted in Sinking of Japan. Where the hell then, can I get my fix of artistic videos? And lastly for those who are still bothered, I'm 105kg now. 5 less kgs to a 2 digits weight. WOOT!!!!

Nope, nothing sinister done towards fmq's pooch of similar phonics but rather with my maiden attempt at baking cookies. That's a pretty tall feat considering I could screw things up even with the aid of cookie mix. An overzealous addition of butter was fingered as the main culprit behind the failed attempt.

The cookies are expanding at a rate faster than Lin Chi Ling's boobs at puberty.  Large, unappealing looking "cookies" that collapse faster than Cristano Ronaldo when tackled.

Hand phones are evil! Killers of millions (of sperms), they ought to held responsible for the genocides that they have committed over the years. I say, BRING BACK THE PIGEONS! Heavy mobile use 'damages sperm' Heavy use of mobile phones may damage men's fertility, a study has suggested. Researchers found those men who used a phone for four hours or more a day had fewer sperm and those they had moved less well and were of poorer quality. The Ohio study involving 364 men was presented to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in New Orleans. But a UK expert said it was unlikely the phones were to blame, as they were in use and not near the testes, and it may be being sedentary was the cause.
The team from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio tested the sperm of 364 men who were being treated at fertility clinics in Mumbai, India, with their partners. It was found that the heaviest users, those who used their phones for more than four hours a day had the lowest average sperm counts, at 50 million per millilitre (ml) and the least healthy sperm. Men who used their phones for between two and four hours a day averaged sperm counts of 69 million per ml and had moderately healthy sperm. Those who said they did not use mobile phones at all had the highest average sperm counts, of 86 million per ml, and their sperm was of the highest quality seen. 'Used without thinking twice' Dr Ashok Agarwal, who led the research, told the New Orleans conference the study did not prove mobiles damaged fertility, but said it showed more research was warranted. "There was a significant decrease in the most important measures of sperm health and that should definitely be reflected in a decrease in fertility, which is seen worldwide. "People use mobile phones without thinking twice what the consequences might be. "It is just like using a toothbrush, but mobiles could be having a devastating effect on fertility. "It still has to be proved, but it could be having a huge impact because mobiles are so much part of lives." He suggested radiation from mobile phones might harm sperm by damaging DNA, affecting the cells in the testes which produce testosterone or the tubes where sperm is produced. But a British expert cast doubt on the suggested link between mobile phone use and infertility in the men studied. Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: "This is a good study, but I don't think it tackles the issue. "If you're using your phone for four hours a day, presumably it is out of your pocket for longer. "That raises a big question: how is it that testicular damage is supposed to occur?" Dr Pacey, who is honorary secretary of the British Fertility Society, added: "If you are holding it up to your head to speak a lot, it makes no sense that it is having a direct effect on your testes." He added that people who use phones for longer might be more sedentary, more stressed or eat more junk food, which might be more likely explanations for the link found in the study. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/health/6079782.stm Published: 2006/10/24 09:51:21 GMT © BBC MMVI Random Youtube Video of the Day On hearing such devastating news, it's perfectly understandable that they don't feel like dancing.

Most of us can't really fathom the fact that celebrities have a separate life away from the limelight. We think that their public persona extends even to what they do in their private life. When we see a comedian on the street, the first thing that come to our minds would be to ask him/her to tell us a joke. Therefore you can probably imagine the state of shock I was in when I bumped into Ericia and Ezann Lee at a dog show over the weekend, and Ericia wasn't actually wearing bikini or anything revealing!
The point I'm trying to bring across is that what we see or read about most celebrities are just a facade that they adopt in front of the public eye. What we don't know are the personal struggles that they put up with away from the intense media glare. I'm not sure how many of you heard of Scott Adam who is the brain behind the humorous office satirical comic strip, Dilbert. Given the wittiness found in his work, I would expect that he is a "rent a joke" kind of funny person in real life. What I didn't know is that Scott Adam suffers from a rare form of speech disability that robs him of the speech function that many of us take for granted. However, he didn't let the disease bog him down as he continues to diss out his usual doses of wits through his comics and his blog entries. When I visited his blog today, expecting the usual dosage of cynicism and wittiness, I was surprised to be greeted by a post that is stripped of his patented sense of humor. In the post titled "Good News Day", Scott Adam talked about how the disease, which his specialist rated having a zero chance for recovery, robbed him of his ability to speak, how he had to make adjustments and his struggles in trying to regain the full control of his speech ability. While I have full control over my speech abilities (sans the complaints of me stammering and sounding inaudible at times), I can fully empathize how Scott Adam feels as I have my struggles with my hearing deficiencies too. Broaching on such a topic, the tone of the post was expectedly sombre. However, there was an uplift in the tone towards the middle of the lengthy post when Scott Adam revealed that he managed to regain a part of his speech ability when he was helping his son with a nursery rhyme two nights ago. The last thing I expect when reading a humor site is to get all emotional, but that was what happened when I read this line : "I still don’t know if this is permanent. But I do know that for one day I got to speak normally. And this is one of the happiest days of my life." So if you have time to spare, do go over to his site and drop him a congratulatory or encouraging message. If you feel like it, you can also accept his invitation and describe the happiest day in your life under the post's comments section. Cherish your health, you never know when something you take for granted will be wrest away from you.

A week after Phuan taught me the aforementioned phrase, I truly understand how it is like to be "Lang Suay, Qi Jiao Bian Gong Kuay".
The phone is finally ringing....only with financial planners on the other line pitching their services. They definitely like challenging themselves by managing the financial plan of someone without any income streams. Health wise, I have been succumbing to the flu bug ever since I left the army. Whether if is it due to the haze, a weak immune system or the stuffs that they put in SAF water, I definitely want to snap out of this vicious cycle. The theme of "Lang Suay, Qi Jiao Bian Gong Kuay" even extends to the mahjong table, when X, Theresa and Nanli popped over for a game last night. Bear (groans!) with me as this part will get a bit overwhelming for non-mahjong players. Actually literally changing your Jiao ( 鸟 which commonly refers to the unfancied one bamboo tile) for the Gong Kuay (公鸡 which represents the bonus flower tile) in a game of mahjong is something to cheer about, but that's not the point here. The point is that I had one of the worst game in my life (of course besides this one) and I even had to borrow chips from X after my initial allocation was wiped out at the end of 2 rounds. Tiles kept hounding me like persistent insurance agents. In one game, I discarded the 北 tile only to draw it back for 2 consecutive turns. In another game, the strategy called for a game of 平湖 (a winning hand involving tiles formed in sequential order without any flower tiles) as 10 flower tiles were already drawn by other players at the start. However the tiles I had were mostly in pairs with a big gap between them (11,55,88 kind of tiles), literally leaving me with little chance of forming a winning hand for a 平湖. When I finally managed to 听牌 (one tile away from winning) for 平湖 on a separate game with a 七八等六九筒 (waiting for the 6 or 9 circle to win), Nanli so happen to 碰 (Pong, a play where 3 of the same tiles are gathered) away both the 六and 九筒 leaving me with a set of useless tiles. In yet another game, Theresa had to 杠 (Gang, a play where 4 of the same tiles are gathered) away the 七万 ("7 millions" tile) which was crucial to forming my 平湖 hand. While the grand idea of emulating Li Nanxing's character 彦飞 in 双天至尊 (The Unbeatables), who managed to win the ownership of a casino with a borrowed 10 dollars note, to make a killing with my borrowed chips fell way short of its target, I would like to thank my mahjong kakis for accomodating to my request of extending the mahjong game thus enabling me to recoup a tiny wee bit of my losses. 悲哀,悲哀啊! 人衰啊,养鸟也会变公鸡啊!!

In order to save on the $0.80 MRT fare, my friends and I decided to take a 50 minutes long and rather scenic trek from Vivo City to Chinatown for our dinner....
which resulted in $3.00 spent on 2 cups of drink to quench the thirst brought about by the long trek.... and also a bout of flu, which is probably caused by the haze that accompanied our trek, which resulted in another $4.20 spent on a pack of Panadol. So with a bit of calculation, + 0.80 - 3.00 - 4.20 ______ - 6.40 by saving on $0.80, it resulted in me parting with $7.20 and that means a deficit of $6.40. So much for being thrifty.

Alvin who is the owner of the cornily named mrluva.blogspot.com, which actually doesn't do much justice to the good writing that appears on the blog, alerted me to the following video. The video was taken during a lecture at a local tertiary institution, where the lecturer was sharing his archive of hilarious comments that were written for his appraisal over the past academic years. My favourite comment among all would has to be this : "Is your moustach the source of your knowledge? If it is, please don't set so(sic) difficult questions beacuse most of us, don't have moustach."

Brought to my attention by a certain receptionist: "This should not be viewed as Indonesia causing the problem and exporting the problem to other countries in ASEAN, which is very upset with Indonesia. If we put it this way, then we complicate the problem further, in terms of resolving it. Indonesia will feel rather defensive and it'll get upset and it's not a very good way of doing this," said Mohamed Jawhar Hassan, Chairman and CEO, Institute of Strategic and International Studies, Malaysia. (Source: ChannelNewsAsia) Right, in the name of brotherly Asean love, we shouldn't be upset with Indonesia. Instead we should be sorry for being situated so near to Indonesia. If we need to blame someone or something, it should be the forces of nature for their plate tectonic movements millions of years ago. It should had pop us up somewhere closer to Australia, at least then, we could have enjoy cheaper airfares to Down Under.

Here's a video for those whose girlfriend got or almost got potong jalan while they were protecting the nation (or filming funny videos while doing National Service). Maybe it's because the singer is Kang Kang, who is often lampoon for his unconventional looks, we can empathize with the plight the protagonist in the song went through. If someone like F4 sang this song, we would probably turn up at their autograph signing session and laugh in their faces.
* POTONG JALAN Malay, literally meaning "to cut a (new) road". Often used in the context of stealing somebody's girlfriend (v. rarely boyfriend) away, but can also refer to other types of transactions where one party is being bypassed or cut off. "I thought you my best friend one, how can you potong jalan Jenny?" (Source: Talking Cock's The Coxford Singlish Dictionary)

男人不好色,就是好吃. 可是我偏偏两个都喜欢. (Men are either lecherous or gluttonous, but I'm fond of both) Imagine the joy I experienced when I visited the land of 梅菜扣肉 (Fatty Pork stewed with pickled vegetable) and 东波肉 (Fatty Meat stewed in Chinese Wine). However I have to complain about the breakfast that the Chinese are used to. All they eat are man tous, filled with meat or vegetables. And their morning beverages consist of soybean milk which tastes like cigarette smoke and milk that tastes like water. Thank god for MacDonald and 旺旺牛奶 (WanWan Milk)! Another note, food in China is cheap. A nice restuarant meal cost about 12 to 15 dollars per head, which is half the price of that found in Singapore. A huge part of the low cost is attributed to the lack of 15% additional costs that we are accustomed over her. (5% of GST and 10% of service charge). The lack of service charge is understandable as the service standard in China sucks to the core. At least Singapore can now ya ya papaya (brag) that their service standard is not the worst in the region.  The legendary 东波肉, 肥而不腻(fat but not oily).  Super Size Xiao Long Bao (what a misnomer). Filled with hairy crab's roe and essence!  Look at the size of this baby, it's so big that you need a straw to savour it.  Now, that's what I call xiao long baos.  Porcupine shaped Dim Sum. Kawaii neh! Another delicious item I had while in China was 过桥米线, whereby all sorts of ingridients and lastly the mee sua are dumped into this huge bowl of steaming hot broth. While it's not an aesthetically appealing dish, the taste is surprisingly delicious. (Not so) Random Picture of the Day  一包还比一包大! If you thought the super size Xiao Long Bao was huge, check out this Godzilla of a bao, which is named...Godzilla Da Bao!  Look at how puny the regular 大包 looked on the right.

A typical day for tyw revolves around applying for jobs, waiting for phone calls that never materialize, checking PSI index and cursing at Indonesia, reading 村下春树's 挪威的森林, taking a nap immediately after lunch and visiting the gym on alternate days. X felt that it is imperative to change my image, which has been synonymous with porn, by taking this picture with the humongous teddy bear. Notice how reluctant I looked in that picture. Hope no one thinks I'm into beastility now.I need a job soon to break out of this monotony but as Phuan says " Lang Suay Qi Jiao Bian Kong Quay" (人衰,养鸟变公鸡), when one his down on luck, nothing will go his way. As a measure of how bored I was, I actually visited the gym four times last week. And today, I actually spent a good 20 minutes gawking at a funeral procession (bless the departed soul). What can I do to get out of this vicious monotonous cycle? Since I have little luck in gaining employment, maybe I will have better luck in finding a rich tai tai and live off her.

First off, I would like to apologize for the lack of pictures in this post. Regardless of gender, we human like to appreciate things that are aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. But I'm unable to let the pictures do much talking here as with my cumbersome frame, it's difficult to covertly snap photos of unaware beauties and let run lest their boyfriends decide to give chase. Why not ask the gals for permission have your pictures taken together? If I am that bold, I wouldn't be sitting here lamenting about my single hood while sucking my thumb. Nevertheless, I will attempt to highlight the beauties of the Middle Kingdom with three poorly taken photos.... Yeah yeah, poor lighting condition renders this picture to be pretty worthless.
 This time, taken under better conditions. Look at the complexion, so fair and flawless. Pity about the lack of figure though, Heaven is indeed impartial.  An ice cream vendor, can rival most of the celebrities in Singapore. After a week in China I realized that on the whole, China gals are prettier compared to those found even in Japan. While the gals in Japan are fashionable and really know how to doll themselves up, the Chinese gals generally have flawless complexion with nary and blemishes (sans some freckles, which I find it to be cute) on their faces. Yes, those China gals I saw are indeed that good. Which brings me to the following point, what happened to those plain jane looking female Chinese students that are a dime of a dozen in NTU? Surely there must be a reason behind it, perhaps the Chinese government have a system that restricts good looking gals from studying overseas?

Tonight I'm attending a wedding dinner after receiving my first ever 红色炸弹 (Red Bomb, a Taiwanese derogatory term for Wedding invitation). It is termed as a 红色炸弹 due to the damages cause to the financial well-being after giving the obligatory red packet. I'm all for giving red packets as it go a long way helping the newly wed to allay their wedding costs. However being the poor chap that I am, and how superstitious we Chinese are to numbers, contribution to the red packet
You know how Chinese like the number 8, as it remotely sounds like 发, a Chinese term for "striking it rich". Given what an auspicious sounding number it is, one would think that packing an 8 dollar red packet would suffice. However giving a meagre 8 dollar red packet would probably get you hauled to the kitchen and become a dish on the night's dinner menu. So some smart asses decide than since 8 sounds auspicious, having more 8 will amplify the auspiciousness. As such, it became somwhat a tradition that 88 is a might auspicious number for wedding, likely due to the idiom 双喜临门 (good things come in pairs). Apparently no one told them greed is not a virtue. Oh oh then some guys also think that the number 168 is auspicious, as it rhymes with 一路发, which kind of meant "being wealthy all the way". Given how auspicious the numbers 88 and 168 are, I figure $8.80 and $16.80 will not diminish its aura either.

This post might mean nowt to non-football fans, but fans will definitely chuckle at this piece of news. A certain John Boileau actually cheekily applied for the Middlebrough, back when it was vacated with the departure of Steve McClaren, with a CV based on his managerial experience in the computer simulation Football Manager 2005. The highlights of his very "impressive" CV were :-
1. Signing Thierry Henry, Raul and Fernando Torres as the three main strikers at Doncaster. 2. Taking Rushden and Diamonds to the Champion League's final (which they unfortunately lost to Ajax in extra time). The Rushden side contained Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldinho, something unimaginable for a small town side. To the chap, and many footy fans' surprise, the chairman of Middlesbrough Steve Gibson actually replied in good humoured to his application. The content of the reply could be found here. Needless to say, the reply generated alot of publicity among the football community. To the credit of Boileau, he uses his new found fame to generate awareness for Breast Cancer Care and even manage to garner donations from complete strangers who took note of his cause through his website. Grateful for the publicity generated, Boileau wrote another letter to Steve Gibson expressing his gratitude. Gibson, in yet another deft display of good PR, replied to Boileau. In his letter, he offered his assistance to help Boileau train for the London Marathon ( a feat which Boileau hoped to accomplish by 30) and also offered a dig at Steve McClaren, in response to Boileau's cheeky offer to aid the newly installed Middlesbrough's manager Gareth Southgate. " I have passed your kind offer on to Gareth but we feel at the moment he has enough help, however I believe Steve McClaren may be in contact soon! " The full transcript of the exchanges could be found at this website, and I have to say that the exchanges between Boileau and Gibson provided a rare moment of delight in a time when the English game is embroiled in the bung controversy.

 In what is an absurd piece of concert news, the beany eyed uber super duper Korean hunk Rain is coming for a concert, in which the most expensive ticket costs $888!Not even the King of (Yesteryear) Pop, Michael Jackson could command such a premium when he held a concert way back in the 90s. The God of Cantopop, Jacky Cheung, could also only command a price in excess of $300. So both the King and God got usurped by a dash of Rain. At $888, or even the cheapest $188, only people living in drought hit Sahara dessert would consider going to the concert. HAHAHAHA hahahah haaaa.. ha. er.. Ok. Seriously, who in the right mind would fork out that obscene amount of money just to watch this admittedly handsome chap prance around on stage. For $888, one could sponsor the living expenses of close to 10 orphans residing in Thailand's Care Corner Orphanage. Even with the obscene high price tag, some teenage gals are already making plans to skip their meals, sell their soiled panties, their chasity, rob and steal, just to make enough for the concert.

Ask all dog owners, the most dreadful thing would be the day that their beloved canine pal migrate to puppy heaven. Paid a visit to mypugsblog and I read that Gizmo, a pug owned by the blog owner's friend passed on. Below is the first line of the blog entry that Gizmo's owner wrote about its passing on:
Harsh but true. How many of us are mentally prepared for the day that our beloved pets moved on? I remembered witnessing a JC classmate breaking down and dashed out of the classroom in the middle of a lesson. The reason behind the very public display of emotion was due to her dog passing on the night before. While there may be numerous telltale signs leading to the doggie's demise, no amount of mental preparation could prepare us for the day. I guess the Chinese saying "天下没不散的宴席" is true, eventually all good things must come to an end. RIP Gizmo.

Two newsworthy local stories happened while I was in China (I was already back when Mr. Fann Wong hit and ran). The first was of course how the haze blanketed Singapore. The other, and the more intriguing one, was how an outbreak of gastric flu floored up to 500 students. While the cause of the haze is well documented, the origin of the gastric flu virus is still up in the air. Checks at the affected schools' canteens showed no contamination thus far, while I believed checks on water sources yielded similar results. Various theories of the outbreak were proposed, but the one below simply tickles me.

Today is supposed to mark the end of my self-imposed exile from the jogging track. Instead I am spending a good part of the afternoon clearing snot and drying my tearing eye brought about by the haze. So now I will hold Indonesia responsible if I can't slim down to 2 digits.
Random Youtube Video of the Day Singapore too should adopt this chant for National Day. "PM Lee, PM Lee, Ni Shi Wo De Qiao Ke Li!" Maybe then, we can get an additional day off on August 10.

 毕业后,身旁有很多对情侣都告吹了. 是否是因工作压力或则是还是多了游戏选手,我也不知. 但我只知道,这社会又多添了数位寂寞的孤魂.我们都寂寞 赶着下班的计程车 一啸而过 下班后不想回家的我 谁要理我 很多年之前我问 朋友来陪我有谁来爱我 买醉的时候你认识我 最后还一起生活 为怕寂寞我们做了很多 最没空寂寞 偶遇你之后我说 想有人爱我就有人爱我 可是我不知道想要甚么 不知道拥有甚么 可能我们都寂寞 迎面一个老尼姑走过 把路灯看破 有你在家里苦等的我 难道比她幸福得多 现在不想下班的我 没爱好难过有爱算甚么 我恨我我不知道想要甚么 我不知道拥有甚么 可能我们都寂寞 走过马路的我说 一个人寂寞两个人寂寞 可能我我不知道拥有甚么 而我又缺少甚么 我害怕甚么怕甚么 我不知道爱算甚么 而我又算甚么我们都寂寞 PS:号外，号外！陈亦讯要来开演唱会了。 日期是明年1月6日，关于票价的消息可从这网址索取详情。 tyw在此邀约对此演唱会有兴趣的朋友一起去享观赏这不能错过的一场视听觉的享受。

A highlight of the trip was chancing upon cute critters along the streets of China. Whether they end up on the plates of Guangzhou citizens are another matter.  Spotted this kitty at 乌镇 (WuZhen), the Water City of China. From far, it looked like those 招财猫 (Fortune Cat) that we decorate our houses with during Chinese New Year.  A close up shot on the kitty. Somehow it looks eerie under scrutiny. Those eyes, are they closed shut because the kitty was resting, or was it just empty sockets devoid of eyeballs?  A Pekingese spotted in Shanghai's 豫园 (YuYuan), which seems to be the most popular dog breed in China. Maybe their meat taste tender...  An unidentified dog breed standing guard at the balcony of the houses that line the river in 乌镇 (WuZhen).  The cute doggie sprang into action and barked at a passing tourist raft.

 寂寞的男人繁忙的工作加一把劲来过渡 无聊的交际只管把笑容制造 回家打开一副电脑 模拟找到模拟倾诉模拟很好 从来不知道怎么竟各行各路 从前的一套今天仔细仍照做 夜深粉紫色这外套 模拟起舞模拟拥抱模拟得到 *仍然能拥有梦想跟前途 仍然能拥有自尊跟自豪 仍然明知许多女伴一转身会遇到 为何感到这不算最好 明明从不信天荒跟地老 明明从不会后悔得不到 明明从新掌握去做我总可以做到 为何今晚我不懂如何告别烦恼 浮华掌声里只想一个人赞慕 从难关出发心境可向谁透露 是否悲欢早有定数 何时得到何时失去谁能猜到 嗨... 身旁的朋友个个都忙于工作, 就剩我独自一人过着无聊的周日. 啊老天呀, 赐我一份工作吧!!

 寂寞公路说好和你一起流浪 失约的我独自飞翔 窗外景物不断的变换 提醒我背叛的心慌 说好不让你再流泪 迷惑的我不知是错是对 下雪街头独自的行走 握不住一杯温热的咖啡 new york dallas los angeles 寂寞公路每站都下雪 想念等候 流逝的梦 寂寞公路每寸都伤痛 sunrise moonshake heartbreaker 寂寞公路每站都下雪 冷漠激情 点烟的手 寂寞公路哪里是尽头 PS: 我归来了.带着东波和梅菜扣肉的残骸. :)
