"星星不会呆太久, 雨后会有彩虹"
Was listening to 881 musical CD and reading the lyrics when Marpig chanced upon tt phrase and thought of blogging bout 联想
Guess itz the hectic lives pple lead now which doesnt allow them to relax and observe their surroundings and of cos, most pple are less mindful of ths ard them now, big or leetle
Marpig often blog bout the leetle ants, the leetle flowers, bees, catepillars, clouds, rainbow, pple rushing bout holding their mobiles, etc on top of other observations. Perhaps bcos she has the luxury of having the time to observe and be mindful of the ths ard her; how pple and ths changed/shaped, how wonderful/sad/chaotic life can be, etc
JM, itz just like u would praise Him for all the wonderful ths and creations. However, al these need an audience to appreciate...
Coming back to wat we tend to 联想到 (could be ths or pple) when we see smth:
Does it depends on our mood at tt particular moment?
Does it depends on our opinions/ideas of ths?
Does it depends on our life xperiences and memories?
Does it depends on wat type of a person we are? (pessimist/optimist/violent/gentle)
Sm pple thought of the poor and hungry children in developing countries when they see food wasted
Sm pple thought of the homeless when they see a mansion
Sm pple harbour sadist thoughts when they see children!!
Alot of pple thought of lollies when they see (or hear) lottery!!
As for Marpig...
有着太阳但又下雨的时候, Marpig 会寻找彩虹, 就像个孩子在找寻她的礼物一样, 把泄气的雨给忘了
走在漆黑的夜里, Marpig 会停下脚步, 望向天空的星星和七姐妹, 把有可能隐藏在黑夜里的危险给忘了
曾几何时, 每样事物都会让 Marpig 联想起她的妈妈, 但随着时光的流逝, 伤口漫漫的愈合了, 联想到她的事物好像也少了
(but Marpig did think of her throughout the Bristol Bikeathon!!)
Anyw, Marpig am sure despite the "hecticity", pple stil 联想到 issues/ths/pple they come ax. At least al is not lost to the harsh reality of making lollies and survival...
BTW, Marpig am sure if any1 sees anyth to do with pigs, they wil 联想到 Marpig!!

久为了!!
好久没 update blog 了... Think itz bcos of the hectic get-as-much-work-done-b4-going-home, bz as a bumble bee trip home, hectic 1st wk back to the UK & the nasty cold and cough Marpigz down with :(
Anyw, another yr wil soon be over in a twinkling of an eye and u wonder where has al the daes gone!! Marpig had a backlog of thingies to share but she shal 1st do a summary of the interesting ths she discovered during her 2-wks trip home, lest she 4got bout them!!
1) Marpig managed to fin the 2nd LEGO 杰作 for Marpigz sis and BIL!! Took them back to make the frames and the Indian framemaker 看 Marpig 好欺负 and 坎菜头!! Worse, got to go back a few times cos they 偷工减料!! Pui!! Anyw!!
FYI, the final costs for Marpigz dadz LEGO wth frame is 105 quid while tt of Marpigz sis and BIL worked out to be 185 quid. Take a look at the completed work!! (Video quality is shite on purpose FYI!!)
2) Alot of Marpigz frens laughed and asked her why she pronounces taxi as "teksi" (Mimi T, Balachan, etc included). Marpig only pronounced it like tt when shez back home but even she noe naught why she uses tt pronunciation until Marpigz dad wanted to hail a taxi... :P
When it 1st started, the shop in ION had ang mohs tending the shop, to achieve tt traditional ang moh teh look. But now tt pplez taken in, one wil only see just 1 ang moh tending the counter outside. Been there, tried them, saw their menu and itz really just marketing. The cream tt go with the scones arent even nice!! Yes, Marpig dont like TWG, bcos itz so attasily fake. And, their beverages are not any better than Starbucks, other tea and definitely not Yorkshire!! Dont understand y pple rush to get their tea. Brand? Now u noe. Perhaps if it markets itself as "traditional tea selection of T(an) W(ee) G(eok)" or smth like tt, Marpig might change her views!! :P
5) Watched "School Days with a Pig" on board the flight back home and cried 80% of the duration of the movie. Sigh... should Marpig eat less of her fav Kway Chap and 皮蛋瘦肉粥... ... Lesson learnt: Do not name yr belongings as it wil 产生感情!! OMG. Marpig has been naming her ths!!
6) Frens including Marpigz sis said Marpig is accident prone. Umk. Also got to noe from Marpigz dad whilst they went home from Haw Par Villa (more on tt later) tt Marpig once suffered a nasty sprained right arm when shez a toddler bcos she fell from a tricycle and tumbled down the stairs (luckily Marpigz stil normal :D)
Marpigz dad recalled tt the doc said tt Marpig was a-ok and sent them home but during the middle of the night, Marpigz arm swell like a 猪手 & Marpigz mom and dad 急坏了. So next dae they brought her to see the faymoss 铁打 at "九楼" (Hokkein) Smhow, Marpig did have sm vague recollection of a bandaged arm and heavy-smelling 铁打膏药. Ironically, Marpig stil fall from bicycles!! 搞什么?! Hmm... thought she also achieved a few stiches on her left eye brow too (any1 noticed?), or was it from another separate accident?!
7) Teaching in Singapore and MOE is a FARNY biz, with red tape, etc etc etc (shal not go into the details), insights according to 当事人, teachers themselves, etc. Sigh... 为什么表面的华丽, 往往藏着阴暗的世界呢?
Umk, enough for the mo, shal continue in a rojak style entry molo!!

3) Shanny once xclaimed tt although Marpig played Bakery and Rest Stories later than her, Marpig stil managed to overtake her in terms of the levels. But, 一"珊"还比一山高, PS has already reached levels 90+!! *晕*
4) TWG. Marpig am pro homegrown products but TWG is 超 fake in Marpigz opinion and itz not portraying Singapore and a tat too much in terms of pricing for the quality of teh
TWG, in case u do not know, IS a Singapore brand and product (wel, sort of). TWG stands for The Wellness Group. Stablished in Singapore in 2007, not 1837, which it (kind of) misrepresented to itz customers by having tt number on their tin. 1837 is the year when tea trade in Singapore was made official by the Chamber of Commerce and hence, TWG adopted this number on their tin. Marpig emphasises again, TWG is stablished in 2007, NOT 1837
It isnt ang moh and strictly speaking, not entirely Singaporean either. Itz started by 2 Indians (not tt Marpig is a racist) with the base in Singapore. They put quite alot of investment (wel, they have the lollies) into product branding and had their teabags started out in grandeur 5 star hotels & SQ 1st/biz class. And so pple thought, "Wow, posh tea!!"
