《骤变》("Sudden")

《骤变》("Sudden") is a MediaCorp drama which started airing on Channel 8, on 2 September 2013, every Monday to Friday at 9 pm.

Each episode began with the days when Fang Qiliang (played by Romeo Tan) and Cheng Chuning (played by Rui'en) first got to know each either in Tasmania. Then the next scene was fast forward to the present. 

The presentation of this drama serial is somewhat different from the usual. There were some flashes of scenes that created a certain mystery making us wonder what was in store.  

In  Episode 4 to 5, Chuning and her colleagues attended a service one year after the final hearing of the murder case of Zhong Zhenglie. Joda (played by Darren Lim) was a founder/leader of a mission group which consisted of many rich and influential members. He Jianming - co-founder of the mission group - accused Joda of deceiving the followers by using donation funds for his personal gain. He Jianming even filed a case against him. This scene looked familiar...

So far it had been quite interesting to watch the 《骤变》("Sudden").

《梳子的话》("Comb")

I heard this song 《梳子的话》("Comb") over the radio on a Sunday afternoon. It's been a long time since I last heard this song. The singer was also  张克凡 (Jonathan Chang). Lyrics were written by 陈志文 (Chen Zhiwen) and 庄立帆 (Zhuang Lifan) and the music was composed by Zhuang Lifan.

It seemed to me that this is a song about a boy's unrequited love for a girl and no love confession was ever made. He was happy and contented just to stay at her side to share her love problems.

歌词：

让我就像一把梳子 
梳理着你为爱分岔的心事

我只在乎 能够在你手中整理一缕的情丝
让我就像一把梳子 
装扮你被泪水打湿的样子
我不在乎你是否注意我 
这样默默爱你的一种方式
如果我是你最心爱的梳子 
我愿意跟随一辈子
当你寂寞在你耳边
伴你渡过漫长的相思
如果我是你最心爱的梳子 
我情愿跟随一辈子
日日夜夜永远就放在你的左右
无言的爱
就算无法开始
只愿让我疼你一生一世

which can be translated as:

Let me just be like a comb
Combing the tangles of your love troubles

I am only concerned about being in your hands 
To tidy the messiness of your love problems

Let me just be like a comb
Dressing up a tearful you

I am not bothered whether you have noticed 
My quiet way of loving you

If I am your most beloved comb 
I am willing to follow you for a lifetime
When you are lonely I am just beside you
Keeping you company
If I am your most beloved comb
I would rather follow you for a lifetime
Day and night I am forever placed near you
Unspoken love 
Even if we cannot begin
Just let me love you forever

New way of Storing Clothes in drawers

I accidentally chanced upon a video on organization of clothes in drawers. I thought that was a good idea. I had never thought of storing my clothes in this way. So I started with the drawer where I put my home clothes using the folding techniques shown in the video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rbogDaB-n0.

As there were differences in the size of drawers used and the size of my clothes, I didn't follow all the steps exactly when folding, but the basic idea was there in the video. After folding, I placed them vertically and each piece of clothing can stand on its own as shown in the picture below.

This new way of storing clothes was much better. Previously, the clothes on top would inevitably get messy if I dug further in to choose the clothes that I wanted to wear. As a result, clothes that were placed way at the bottom tend to be forgotten and not worn for a long time. Now, I can see everything at one glance and take the piece that I want to wear without messing up the rest. Besides that, it also frees up more space with this way of storing clothes.

After that, I also reorganized Ardon's drawers and it did free up a lot of space too. 

I took one step further and organized the drawers where the face towels, hand towels, big handkerchiefs and small handkerchiefs were placed. It now looked more organized and it's easy to find the face towels, hand towels, big handkerchiefs and small handkerchiefs. This was especially important for this particular chest of drawers because, somehow, the drawers could not be opened fully, which made it even harder to find the stuff we wanted with the previous storing method.

I am quite happy with this result. The only problem was it took a little more effort to fold it in the right way but is worth the slightly extra effort. This method of folding is also useful for packing luggage.
