讓我想一想

Just stay at home to revise for my AGE interview this Thur.

Time flies... I was just flipping over my notes 2 years ago. I didn't realize I was once so enthusiastic when I just joined the Graduate training...
I'm not clear what I want to do, or what I want to pursue.
After my MSc exam, I should really think about what I wanna be...

Suddenly think of this song:
讓我想一想 - 陳綺貞

漫步在荒原 我想找一棵棲身的樹
有陽光 有流水 還有微風吹
該如何面對 這未知的一切
讓自己的思緒沈澱
隨著天色的改變 心情的外衣也要多加一件

這些對 那些好 我想追 我想逃
其實我也害怕
可不可以就這樣停下來
我要多一點時間好讓我再想一想

隔著玻璃窗 我早已沈醉在藍色的街
有寂寞 有笑語 還有看不見的雪
該如何整理 這忙亂的城市
還有我的心事
躲在十二月熱鬧的夜 我只要一個人 安安靜靜地

什麼對 什麼好 不要問 不要猜
不要太靠近我
可不可以勇敢地停下來
我要多一點空間好讓我再想一想

Sense of belongings?

The tiny bit of sense of belongings to my organization has lost.

As a trainee in my organization, it is usual for others to exclude me from theworkforce. I am, however, annoyed by the different status between contract and permanent staff. Regardless of income and benefits, contract staff is being excluded from the establishment of the division in current policy. That is part of the reason why our division has so limited space (the space granted is according to the number of permanent staff in the division), consequently all our colleagues in the division have to be crowded together as there is significant amount of contract staff.

In terms of workload, contract staff shared the same amount. But there is not even a place for them to work! How sarcastic is the whole matter!

I am just pissed off. Not until the administrative people review this matter,they can no long attract high calibre people to the organization.

Oh... by the way, they don't need to attract people to join the workforce anymore.

Song of the Day - Little Girl Blue

Few of my U-mates love Jazz, and that was the time I fell in love with it. (Certainly I was heavily influenced by my ex, but that's a good one! :P)

The marvellous thing that Jazz brought to you is its variety - different performers can play the same song in a completely different way, thus giving a completely new flavours to the song.

And I just like to listen to female jazz vocals. Different vocals have their styles and you can always have new feelings on the same songs.
(To people who seldom listen to jazz: there are some jazz standard songs that are "must-sing", so you'll hear the same song sang by different singers, which is very different from pop songs)

So, from now on I'll share with you some songs (especially jazz ones) that I like, just jot me a message if you feel interested in the song. :)

Today I'll like to introduce to you a jazz song called "Little Girl Blue", sang by Stacey Kent. This is indeed a sad song, but I am really touched by the lyrics.
Maybe I found I'm not young anymore...

Little Girl Blue
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well

Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue

Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue?
