The Leap Years ~ Do you believe in fate? Life goes on…

1st Day of March: ZH came to my hse and practise on the piano! Wow… I even became her mock examiner which was real fun! hehe… =p cos I kept giving her real difficult scales which will probably kill myself as well! Watching pple play the piano always made me tempted to take up the skill again! But I guessed it’s tough unless I changed my career path… hmm…

Had wanted to go jogging after that but became a bit lazy and decided to watch "The Leap Years" instead. Was kinda influenced by another fren who claimed that the movie was good and made her rethink abt love… though I had some issues with the names of the leads…

Do you really believe in fate? Even if love only surfaced once every 4 yrs? I used to believe in love without rationality, feelings without compatability, but I’ve grown more rational… I hope… Perhaps it’s because it’s so difficult to find romance in real life, that’s why romantic movies and shows are always popular… 因为难得所以珍贵。Real life is always different from fiction.

Story started with female lead searching for her blue blurry man. On her 24th bday on 29 Feb, she met the male lead @ Windows Cafe. She knew nothing abt him but they have a great time. Unfortunately, he had to leave and made a pact for both to meet once every 4 yrs on 29 Feb. On her 28th bday, she met him again & realised he had a daughter. She left in tears. 4 yrs later, they met again with her pretending that she’s happily married. Both were shattered and cried in their hearts… He didn’t have a chance to make things clear to her. Another 4 yrs passed, @ 36, she chose to marry a good man whom she dun love. (Act I think if the story ended here, it will be more realistic…) His only love letter to her left her running from her wedding & they stayed happily together till he fell into a coma. Finally he woke up on her 48th bday and hopefully they lived happily ever after…

Do u believe such a story exists in real life? That a man will love a woman whom he only meets once every 4 yrs and that the pact they made is the only thing that keeps him going? I seriously dun think so… Even though I was quite touched by the movie and the sleeves of my sweater were practically wet by the time I stepped out of theatre…

我读过一则报道,男人是很健忘的,只记得自己想记得的东西。象杨过这样长情的人,应该只会出现在电影和小说里。 But it’s nice to believe that romance still exists somewhere in this world…

大士工业意外

诶,好像每次去这类恐怖的项目,都会写blog…

Anyway… the story goes… 12 Mar 2008…

本来正在准备步步的,突然接到热线,说大士一带发生爆炸案!结果“站在新闻最前线”(哈哈,顺便打广告=)的我,就被派出去了。

那个工业区好远好远哦,而且非常ulu,我在德士上睡得东歪西倒才抵达目的地,幸好司机没有迷路,还告诉我“真的有人死,而且还盖上黑布”… ~.~

跳下车后当然是立刻投入工作,见人就问,幸好还碰到一些知情人士,拿了一些sots.有人告诉我,救护车已经把尸体移走了,我开心了一下。=p 不料,事与愿违,我走到出事工厂,就看到出事员工的尸体(当然是盖着黑布了)停放在大门口!幸好,现场蛮多警察的,而且工厂还没被封锁,所以尽管只有我一位记者,我还是硬着头皮“潜入”工厂。说来也蛮大胆的,我就这样一个女生,跑到后面那些装着一推containers/cylinders的地方(就是刚才发生意外的地方!),想看看那里的情况。结果走不到几步就被阻止了,于是又退回到工厂门口。

当时还下着绵绵细雨,结果只好撑着伞在雨中作访问,还要救recorder,救命!尝试向站岗的警察了解情况,但不得要领。整理了资料,break news 发了报道给4点多的非新闻时段,接着就忙着准备5点的报道。

穿着裙子和高跟鞋的我,在马路和泥地间徘徊。不过,因为大卡车太多了,进进出出,为了安全起见,我便决定待在泥地上。*尽管高跟鞋会sink in…=(*

这时,那位站岗的警察突然向我招招手。接着他过来告诉我,不要站在那片泥地上。因为那是刚才受害者曾躺过的地方!^(*.*)^ 他还问我,难道没看到很多血迹吗?*没有啊?!*Ahhhhh….. Can you imagine my horror when I heard that???!!! Faints…. Think my face totally changed… 我立刻从泥地跳下来,然后边骂那个警员,“真的吗?真的吗?哎呀,你为什么要跟我讲?grrr…”不过,当然,我知道他是一片好意啦… 他还说,因为我是华人,所以才跟我说。But still… so I hoped onto another patch of 泥地 and returned mum’s earlier missed call. (Act I jus need someone to talk to! waaa….=’() 听到老妈的声音,立刻向她哭诉,顺便请她帮我准备石榴叶。还好,其实我也没太多时间胡思乱想,因为不久又要发报道给5点了。

或许,有人会觉得我很没用,甚至有同行说过,“像我这样,不适合当记者”。不过,我其实真的进步很多很多了。像我这样一个连恐怖片都不看的人,记得当初选择加入这行时,采访意外新闻曾是我相当大的顾虑之一。(To me, it’s one of the cons to this job.) 我还记得打手说过,碰到这类事件,你只能告诉自己,“这是工作”,硬着头皮做下去!这个方法蛮管用的,我就凭借自我催眠,闯过一关又一关。最后,还搞笑地把事情告诉朋友,顺便抒发不安的情绪。

我想,尽管不喜欢,可是,这是工作。只要我还想待在这行,就必须尽量克服自己的心理障碍。这也算是一种磨练吧!*虽然我希望这种磨练越少越好*
