A Dark Place

I have bad thoughts, sometimes I sink into my dark place and think of all
the things I admit might not even happen in my future, but I'm scared as

New Year Resolution?
Some people said you shouldn't aim too high on your new year resolution, so that you would be able to see some results on yourself, instead of having some nice-to-see-but-you-can-never-do-it-new-year-resolution. Maybe, they're right. My new year resolutions are always, there to be seen, but not to be done.
It's time to say goodbye to 2007, very soon. I'm thinking what I have done for the year, sadly I can't recall much. Like what I have been saying earlier on, I've wasted my time in uni not doing any meaningful thing.

It's time to say goodbye to 2007, very soon. I'm thinking what I have done for the year, sadly I can't recall much. Like what I have been saying earlier on, I've wasted my time in uni not doing any meaningful thing.
2007
- Completed my 4 years course in NTU with surprisingly the 1st class Honours.
- Found a job related to my studies.
- Went to Yunnan with my sister, and saw the most beautiful sunrise on earth, that touched my heart.
- Watched Jacky Cheung's concert in Bukit Jalil Stadium for the first time of my life, or maybe the last time too.
- Ran the first 10km of my life in 73mins.
- Got some writings published on newspapers for the first time of my life.
- Cut my hair (Does this count?)
- Learned salsa (But forgot all of them)
- Learned that some reality really bites. But family and friends will give me their helping hands.
- Continue to run the Standard Chartered 10km. Aim for 60mins. (Hopefully)
- Continue to learn salsa (and practice!)
- Be skillful in photoshop and get myself my DSLR with my bonus.
- Write more. (Till one day it can help me to earn?)
- Be able to keep my annual leave so that I can go to SiChuan on 2009.
- Exercise at least twice per week.
- Maintain my weight at 47kg.
- Secret for my work (I just don't use to reveal too much)
I think I shall put these as what I will HAVE to do on 2008. Maybe I will add more, it's a 12 whole months to plan anyway.

剪头发

这是我剪头发的过程.Realized my brother's pc chinese is very hard to navigate. ARGH...
I have a very short hair now. Even I couldn't get use to it when I look into the mirror. And I really shocked most of the people when I came home. The "woo wahh..." were heard when I stepped into the house. Thanks to Clifford (my cousin) who helped me to took all the shots of my hair cutting process. :P
Anyway, it's really nice to be at home. I indulge myself with all the delicious penang food, and of cause, my mom's cooking too! Besides, I have already met with some of my relatives and my closest friends too!
Wonderful, to be home.

FA X'mas
Well, these are the two photos taken last Friday. We're all from FA (Failure Analysis), engineers, technicians and operators. And of cause, the 5ft X'mas tree we got from Giant to decorate our FA lab.The operators initiated the gift exchange and I helped them to coordinate between the lab and the engineers. We're glad that almost everybody could make it on that day and feast with pizzas and KFC together.
I think it's important for us to appreciate what all the operators and technicians have done for us throughout the year. Well, though it's not a year for me, but I really appreciate their help all along the way.
Nobody knows everything, we learn from everybody.
Merry Christmas!~
By the way, I was holding a handheld vacuum cleaner in the picture! That's my x'mas gift ^_^

Hamoru Japanese Food
周五下班后，我和毓豪在Suntec City见面，为的就是我一直吵吵嚷嚷的书展。参观书展前，当然是要添饱我们的肚子啦。我建议我们吃food republic food court。他看见Hamoru的日本餐档口，就问我要不要试一下。我当然是说好啦，我喜欢吃日本餐。
我选定了座位，就是面对着厨师给我们表演功夫的位子。很饿的我，点了一个bento set，而毓豪则点了一个“Shiok Maki” 和 “Softshell crab handroll”。
我的bento set
shiok maki，鲑鱼的sushi,上面还有一堆，真的是一堆哦，鱼卵没多久，我就被我面前的那位师傅吸引了。他看起来满年轻，刀法很快。看他切着那一片片又肥又美的鱼肉，我恨不得那一块就是我的。听见服务员叫他老板，我才恍然大悟。
看看那鱼！老板在后面切鱼。
老板不只切得好，他可以眼观四方，耳听八方。他偷听我们讲话，还偶尔回应几句。不时，还看看做得比较远的顾客，如果有人看起来好像需要帮忙，他就叫手下上前看看。
不仅如此，他还鸡婆的educate我们一下。什么东西，冬天才会有。什么东西，好吃等。
在新加坡这种忙乱的生活，我们已经很少同陌生人有这么多的交流。而这日本餐厅的老板，却让我感觉很亲切。
这时，我突然突发奇想，老板不知可不可以像hero里的餐馆，什么都有。不知道如果我随便乱问一通，他会不会说：“aruyo”。我幻想着，眼睁睁的看着老板，竟然被发现了！哎呀！该死！老板竟跟我wink了一下。真的是很paise……
建议大家若到hamoru可以尝试shiok maki。一定要看看师傅如何准备这个shiok maki哦！很特别的。还有，鱼肉很新鲜，sashimi很不错的。价钱和普通的连锁日本餐馆不相上下。一个bento，$15.90。有冷面、sushi、tempura，很大分！如果上hamoru，记得选个可以和老板交流的位子哦！
吃饱后，老板亲自为我们清盘。离开的时候，我俩都对他赞不绝口。而且后来我才知道，毓豪也同样地想起hero的画面。哈哈哈！
毓豪一直不停地说，那shiok maki的味道，还存留在他的舌尖，陪他逛书展……
食物并非五星级，可是感觉很好。我肯定会在光顾的那种。连锁日本餐馆，不够他棒！
（照片是手机拍得，照得不好别见怪。）

一切妥当，谢谢大家
昨天登了那篇咚咚以后，有几位朋友都纷纷上前来询问是否需要帮忙。就是在这种时候吧，觉得，满温暖的。
同事问我是否需要帮忙，可以帮我找朋友询问机票事宜。
另一位同事帮我向丈夫确认即使开车回乡，要是日期合适，可以让我搭顺风车。
佳慧和慧芳汀我在网上一派言论后，也问我可有什么可以帮上忙。
庆祥向我提供钟灵每年的春节巴士资料。
基胜今早也offer我顺风车。
还有还多同事与朋友，没办法帮忙的情况之下，也帮我想办法，陪我打骂一顿，又替我担心。
真的是非常感谢大家的关心，让我觉得很温暖。
爸爸妈妈今天也为了我忙碌了一天，真的觉得辛苦他们了。得好好回报他们。姐姐想要把我弄回家的想法和勇气，也让我很感动。
你们都对我太好了，谢谢！

春节怎样回家？
原想，我每年乘大拿长途巴士，一搭就是十二个钟头，好不痛苦！尤其除夕前一个晚上，回家的人特别多，路上赛车情况很严重。反正工作了，不如买张机票，会加快又方便，爸爸也不会唠唠叨叨。
大约在十月份的时候，我就托妈妈在一家相熟的旅行社订机票。一切搞定后，就等付钱。之前妈妈没能联络上那位帮我们办票的人，因为她带团出国去了。妈妈想，等他回来了再说。没想到，他回槟城的那一天，妈妈恰巧到亚罗士打探亲。这么出门，他说找不着人，就把机票给取消！
什么嘛！
今天妈妈打电话上旅行社说要上公司付钱，他才说已经取消！他妈的！
我和家里来回通了几次电话，气到我七孔生烟！
那个女的有点问题，他把我的二月六日的机票取消后，他说帮我订二月七号！你有用你的头脑吗？二月七号是大年初一啊朋友！他妈的！$#%^#$%^&$%^%^*(%#%$%&%...
这还不要紧，我妈妈跟他坚持不要二月七号，他竟把其中两张二月五日的机票给取消，还给我。真是……我对这种做事没有用头脑的人，真的是无话可说了……
我写电邮给姐姐，跟他说我很想哭。没有机票回家，我逐一间巴士公司打电话，也全都卖完了。我也预料了，都已经十二月了……姐姐说，没事的，她来把我带回家。我知道，如果真的是上帝不保佑，什么都没有，姐姐真会想办法把我弄回去。爸爸妈妈明天要找旅行社理论，找经理解决。经理解决不到，找老板，老板不要管，找消费人协会咯！可是，这种事情，就是不可以麻烦家人……
不是故意要找人麻烦，可是，这不是放假想要旅行随时可以更换日期，这是春节啊！春节是几时，不是我们定的，也没得更换。真不知道那查某有没有头脑……
弄得我爸爸妈妈要替我为这种原本不是问题的问题忙碌，我回家会给你好看！他妈的！
不过，要谢谢所要肯伸出手来帮忙的同事。人间有温暖……
也有大笨蛋！

刘若英
一直很喜欢刘若英。
她不算最漂亮的女艺人，也不是红透半边天的艺人。可是，我就是喜欢她的气质，很文静的样子，是文艺小说里最好的脸孔。
我不算是她的歌迷，我没有收集她所有的音乐，也不知道她究竟唱了几张专辑。甚至于，我从来没有真正看过她任何一部电影或电视剧。有看过的，也没有太多的印象。可是不知怎的，我就是喜欢她。说起她的电影，我一直想看“生日快乐”。但又担心，看见她和古天乐那有点不对位的搭档，会失望。我虽然喜欢古天乐，可是他配刘若英，真的有点奇怪。
在偶然的机缘下，我在书局里发现原来刘若英出版了几本书。我很兴奋，在书局里把整本书看完。很想抱着书本闯出去，可是，又嫌它略贵了一点，只好忍着。那本书，叫《我想跟你走》。虽然刘若英写的都是短短的文章，小小的故事。可是她的句子，是这么精简，这么扣着我的心。
周末刚刚从附近的图书馆借来她的第二本书《下楼谈恋爱》，书本和下楼谈恋爱，一点关系都没有。可是，我对刘若英的文字爱不释手。一瞬间，我就把书看完了。竟然，很失落地把书放在书桌上。就这样看完了？我连把书还回去都不肯，或许我还想看多一回？它还是静静的坐在我的抽屉里。
突然，又很想念刘若英在《人间四月天》里的插曲，“四月天”。原本把名字给记错了，吵吵嚷嚷的还是找不着。最后，经佳慧提醒，名字叫四月天。好不容易下载的，很感动。反复的在电脑里，拨了一次又一次……

Social Worker?
| You Should Be a Social Worker |
 You are deeply caring and empathetic. You are able to take on other people's problems as if they were your own. Sensitive and intuitive, you understand human emotions well. Helping others gives you the most joy in life. You feel like it's your purpose in life. You do best when you: - Have a lot of responsibility - Greatly impact someone's life with your work You would also be a good philanthropist or stay at home parent. |
What Should You Be When You Grow Up?
盈盈是一个很无聊的姐姐，明明是她自己要跟着我玩心里测验，却偏偏每一次都讲我无聊！这种姐姐……
这次她没跟着我，因为我俩的答案一模一样，果然是两姐妹。他不甘心，又玩别的！你讲！她有资格讲我无聊吗？
Anyway，我怎么看，都不可能做stay at home parent！

I Wish Santa Claus is REAL
| What The Holidays Mean to You |
 For you, the holidays are about celebration. You enjoy all the fun and fellowship that the holidays bring. You celebrate the holidays in a offbeat style. You believe the holidays are for doing whatever you feel like - and some of your "traditions" are pretty wacky. During the holidays, you feel magical. You love all of the decorations and how happy people are. You like to sit back and take it all in. You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child. Your best holiday memories are of childhood foods and traditions. You secretly still wish you believed in Santa Claus. |
听歌
觉得自己已经很久没听电台，outdated很多。看毓豪在兴致勃勃地下载音乐，我也忍不住了，放下手上的书本，下载得不亦乐乎。
首先，我就是听周杰伦的“我很忙”。是的，我是非常不喜欢他，因为他的咬词实在严重不清楚，而且老是扮帅扮酷！看到他就讨厌！可是，现在所谓比较新的歌手，我觉得他的算是很好了。而且，有好多首还蛮耐听的。所以，给他一次机会啦！就试听一下！
第一首那个牛仔什么的，吓倒我！不只我，毓豪也是吓倒了！什么嘛！简直是扮可爱！听了几分钟，我就按下一首，下一首，下一首……天啊！我突然觉得咬词不清的周杰伦还蛮可爱，现在真正扮可爱起来，让我想要呕！根本就是随波逐流，跟着现在那种无聊的少男少女新歌手的风格，偶像剧的那种……不堪！
周杰伦竟也沦落到这种地步……显！新歌真的没什么看头！
哎……只好接受弟弟说的，新歌嘛，还是英文流行曲比较有看头。
不是不听新歌，不是不要跟上潮流，新歌手实在不堪，歌唱比赛太多，每个人都很有“天分”，会写歌就很“厉害”……有没有人问过，写歌好不好听重要，还是写得出个重要？

Thoughts
I think I should have written some thoughts after being able to do something that I thought I could never do it in my life. Like my sis commented in the previous entry, we're born in a family, where sports are... I can't find a good word for that, but we're mostly 能文不能武.
En surprised us with a medal when he was still in his primary school. He ended 8th of 9th place in the race, without any training. He's the first in the family, created a history! Hahahaha!
I didn't do a lot of sports until I went into Uni. I tried to get my butt off my chair, and go swimming or jogging. I didn't manage to keep up on regular basis, as I always have my own excuses to laze at my lovely hostel. After joining company for my first job, I was amazed by how a supportive company can provide a very equipped facilities for the employees. I discipline myself for at least once a week to spend in the club house. Sometimes twice. And I signed up for this run, to push myself. I'm glad I did.
I ran mostly, very slow and very short distance when I run my practice weekly. And I always have fear that I can't complete the real race. As I still remember my disastrous 5km run, which I rushed into the toilet instead of the finishing line. tsk... I think I ran a little bit faster than I usually did today, I guessed it's because of the environment that pushed you through. I'm glad I came back and found that I didn't spend 2 hours to run 10km.
I guess the signboard displayed during the race is true "There's no bad weather, just weak mind". It's very inspiring, I decided I should do it again next year. I shall finish 10km less than 1hour then.
We can do whatever we want if we try harder! Nothing's impossible!

My First Ever 10km
Hooray! I completed my first ever 10km run in my life!!!!!I have never done anything in sports. I'm never good in it! But today, I did something I have never thought I can do! Yeah!!!!
It's a annual event, organized by Standard Chartered since 2002. I just knew that the number of participants went up to 40,000(2007) from just 5,000(2002). This is amazing! Different people from different walks of life woke up early in the morning when the Sun is still hiding. Got ready, warm up, and here we go!
The weather is just nice, sunny (a little too sunny, now I'm having a little bit of headache) and windy at the end of my 10km race. I think I can do better than the 73mins. I walked a little bit too much. Hahahahahaha! My brother laughed at my "record" by giving me a comment on Friendster saying "73mins, not bad. But I'm better!" What the.... I wasn't confident at all before the race, I was imagining what if I take 2 hours to finish 10km!!!! Luckily I did better than that.
I have to say the logistics of the event is very very well planned. Imagine the event for 40,000 runners, and other supporters etc. It's really a nightmare! But yeah, the event went on perfectly fine.
I think I would like to join this race again next year. Still 10km, I do not have the guts to go 22km with my stamina like that.
Yeah!

Pretending to run, but in actual fact the race hasn't started

如果我也可以这样弹钢琴……
对我来说，小时候没法好好学习钢琴是一种遗憾。正在上钢琴课的时候，我总觉得老师很唠叨，每个星期念念念……念到我都忘了我是来学钢琴，还是考钢琴。我就是考试制度的受害者。
从第一级到第八级，我鲜少有机会弹奏考试曲子以外的曲。只有一两年，我要求不要考试，才弹得比较多好玩的音乐。（已经长大，懂得要求）直到我迷上华乐以后，我才渐渐对音乐开窍。拿捏音乐的感情不需要老师的指导。记得有一回，我在他那儿弹我第八级的考试曲，弹完以后，他问我，是谁教你这样弹？我一头雾水。从此以后，他也很少再骂我了。
可是，因为在华乐里我可以找到很多满足感，相对我的钢琴曲目，年年都如此，我考完第八级以后，就不学了。当时老师有点气，但他也拿我没办法。他最讨厌我因为华乐而不去练习，而我却最讨厌他不喜欢华乐。老是把一大堆CD和卡带搬到他家里，势必要他接受西方古典乐以外的音乐。想想，我那时很大胆。他一直和妈妈说，学生当中只有我敢和他作对。
我的华乐生涯，一直持续到大学，还参加全国大赛。想起那些为华乐哭、为华乐乐的日子，实在是人生中的好光阴。音乐完美的那一刻，仿佛什么事情都不再重要。那种满足感，让我持续玩华乐，玩了好久。如果现在有能力，我还是愿意。
很遗憾，我的钢琴从来没有那种境界。可是每回看见世界级的钢琴师，我都很陶醉。听见好听的钢琴曲目，我多希望，我也可以这样。现在老了，手指也僵硬了，也没有钢琴，很想，也是想想而已。存钱了再说。
从姐姐的朋友的部落格听见这个，好陶醉。
然后就往Youtube搜索，没有Youtube我都不知该如何啊！哈哈哈！

Another Personality Test
I just have to admit it, sometimes I'm addicted to personality test. Got this from Celeste's blog. Try this.
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Addiction
Addiction is a way to get through the stresses in your life. I admit, I have lots of addiction. On daily basis, I'm addicted to caffeine. I get my daily cup the first thing when I reach the office. Nothing seems to be more important than that.
I'm addicted to blogs. Not just my blog, but others' blogs. I check out my friends' blogs very often. Far more often than the rate they're writing.
I'm addicted to different types of food from time to time. I had taken 3 meals of sushi for this week. And I'm addicted to the lekur at the pasar malam in Boon Lay. But today, I'm tired of food, I can't finish even half of them...
I'm addicted to dramas, actors, songs, movies, books all the time. I've been watching "Hero" (by Takuya Kimura) on Youtube. The drama, all 11 episodes! What can you say...
I'm addicted to Christmas songs, that I play the Christmas songs in my MP3 again and again and again...
I'm addicted to Christmas mood. I adore all the ornaments and still thinking of buying more decorations for my cubicle, though I'm already having the most. (Thanks to my colleague whom had supported my addiciton, bought a 5ft tree, and wonderful ornaments even from IKEA.)
I'm addicted to simply everything...
This is how I get through the best and the worst thing in my daily life.
How about you?

Got Bitten by The Reality of Life
You see me smiling, laughing, talking, chirpy most of the days... But, somehow life is fair, that no matter how chirpy happy I am, reality of life still got me bitten.
Last night, we were discussing about the rental hike of the current unit. The owner wanted a hike of $500 in this new contract. I have nothing to object, as I know there are more expensive contracts waving like sharks in the property market. $500 hike, consider you lucky.
I thought, the hike should be shared among all the 4 people in the house. But somehow, someone wants us to pay more for the room. Meaning, the burden of hike is more on our shoulders. While he wants to enjoy his privacy at the rate, far more lower than the privacy price in the market. ARGH!
We will try to get the deal. I am not trying to be unfriendly to my housemate, but hey! Go on and look for the property market now, and dream on to get a single room at that price you're asking from us! SHIT!
....
At work, I'm still happily working. But we know, we have to wave goodbye to the happy hour very soon. I guess it will be my last month of happy hour. There will be a very drastic change in my team. Suddenly, I have two bosses. One additional, and one changed. The new boss has the fame on "super demanding" boss board. Wish me luck!
....
Reality bites!
I know I will be able to go through just fine. I'll find my way.

Hero
如果你喜欢六年前木村拓哉的这Hero电视剧，我想你一定会很想看六年以后的电影。我是多么的迫不及待啊！一直都很喜欢木村和松隆子这两的搭配，觉得他们很登对，很可爱！六年后还可以在大营幕见到他们，当然很想看！我迫不及待在网上订票，昨晚放工后就到戏院去！
我本人觉得，电影的效果不太好，没有我们平时看的电影那么美感，比较像我们一直都在看的电视剧的画面。这方面，他们应该努力向外国制片学习。不过电影还是跟电视剧不一样，电影花费比较大，可以到韩国取景呢！可是那韩星，根本无用武之力，有他无他，无所谓。还把那么大的一个人放在海报上，有点浪费。也不够木村帅，更浪费！电影的海报也很不好看，反而电视剧的海报更好……
电影里的配角，都带着六年前电视剧的性格。让人回味无穷，很搞笑！为此，我全没看过电视剧的朋友别看电影。你或许未能了解为何这么小的动作也好笑。电视剧迷用了11集来认识每个角色，看电影的时候，是一种回忆。非迷，就省起来吧！
电影的最后一幕，是我最喜欢的。酒吧里的那个壮男，小小的店铺应有尽有。电视剧里的经典，也是电影的经典。哈哈哈！让木村和松隆子在酒吧里接吻，也算是最恰当不过了。壮男的“aru yo!”，永远不会忘记。
总的来说，电影只适合电视剧迷。因为，电影只是非常一般。虽然如此，听见那熟悉的音乐，让人雀跃万分。
木村！
My X'mas Mood
It's not too early to start some X'mas mood around you. I've already started that!!!!
The happiest thing I did last weekend in KL, was getting a white christmas tree (small one) and moved them to my office on Tuesday. I bought some ornaments and the rice lights too! It's very merry to see a christmass tree on my cubicle (sharing that with my colleague sitting opposite me). At first, he's a bit... "You bought a tree?!" Now, we're already planning what else we can get for the little tree.
After putting up the tree, my rice lights is a lil bit too long for the small tree. So, I routed them around my cubicle until they reached the plug. Fit the cubicle just nice! How sweet! I have lights flashing and blinking when I work! hmmmmmmm..........................
Not just the little small tree. My colleagues started to recycle their decoration used last year to put around their own cubicles as well. And, the happiest thing we did....was.............we bought another 5ft xmas tree yesterday during lunch time!!!! WHOA! We saw some promo at giant in vivo city. We got a 5ft and some ornaments for the tree! We're so happy! At least for me! We're going to put it up on Monday in the lab ^_^
I like the way we started to get into some celebration mood. It kinda bring everybody closer. When we think of what else to get, what to buy, where to buy, to buy together etc.... I like it!
I will take some pictures when my trees are ready!~
Happy!~

Marc Yu
Found these on Youtube! He(Marc Yu)'s amazing!!! Fantastic!!!! Some of the videos were taken when he was 6, he's 8 now.
Marvellous!!!
His idol is Lang Lang. Three videos that I shared (very bad quality) were showing Marc playing Schubert with Lang Lang. They are both great! Marc surely isn't at his best yet, years later, I bet he will be the best pianist ever!
Accidentally found

Sick
I was sick, AGAIN!
I had some flu on Monday afternoon. I thought it should be some minor case, so I took a packet of Panadol Cold Relief and hoped for the best. Tuesday morning seems fine to me. I was able to work... Only until 2pm. After lunch hour, I started to sneeze a lot. And nothing helped. I can't even concentrated on my work, and I have to cut my conversation half way when I was on the phone with my vendor. SHIT! This is bad!
Wednesday, I still woke up as usual and went to work. But after a while, I decided to pay the panel doctor a visit. She checked my throat etc, asked about my job nature, and gave me an MC to "shoo" me home. I was glad she did. I went back to the office, settled some small stuffs and waved goodbye to everybody.
I came back, took medicine and slept like no tomorrow. I slept from 2pm to almost 7pm. Then work up to have something to eat. Then continue with my sleep from 9pm to 7.30am!!!! I seldom sleep like this!
Hahahaha! But it's really a good sleep. I'm feeling better right now, though the blocked nose and sore throat are still here. But not as bad as yesterday anymore.
Ciao~

Another Weekend Getaway
It will be another weekend getaway for me. I'm going to KL in a few hours time, taking the midnight bus to KL.
I didn't plan to go KL. But it happened that Yee Hau wants to go KL for some conference in Sunway Hotel. Since he will book a hotel room, whether or not I'm going with him. I might as well GO?! :P If not, who's going to enjoy all the facilities in the hotel while he's in the conference right? We have to make every cent we pay, worth the price. Hahahahaha!
I guess I'll be hiding in Sunway most of the time for this weekend. As public transport from Sunway to other part is relatively tedious. Besides, I can only think of Kean Long (always busy with homework, thesis, exam etc) if you ever asked why not meeting with friends? Kia Hooi, Han Chean, Cindy etc had already left KL.
I did not plan what will I be doing there for the weekend. I think I will know what to do when time comes.
Enjoy the weekend everybody~

Sunday Morning
I managed to wake up early today and went out for a short jog. Yeah! It's not a long jog, I still could not manage to run for long distance but run and walk... I really am doubtful to my ability to finish the 10km I signed up on Dec. I cheer my courage for doing that, but I am really doubtful.
Tsk!
Wanted to make myself banana pancake like I did last weekend. But this time around, something went wrong, I accidentally poured in too much of milk into the mixture, the whole thing became so watery... I nearly vomit when I saw the mixture frying in the pan. So, I poured them all... And ended up with boring white bread and banana, and also a cup of coffee as usual.
Watched some TV, chatted with Han Chean about daily life matters, and showered. Feeling refresh! Maybe because of the blue blue sky I got to see when I was jogging. The weather is meant for some outdoor I tell you. Hehehe...
Doing laundry on my jogging clothes, they're super smelly! Waiting for my Sunday routine, CSI! And also lunch gathering with AM, SH and Jerry. I guess it will be a long long talk as usual. About life, dreams, problems etc.
This is my Sunday morning, and I like it! At least I'm not slothy today! :P

Slothy
| Your Sloth Quotient: 37% |
 You're a little lazy, but normally you're a very energetic and motivated person. Don't beat yourself up over a little laziness every now and then. You do need your downtime! |
How Much Sloth Do You Have?
After feeling "slothy" for the whole day, I'm glad I'm only 37% sloth! Hahahaha!
懒洋洋
又是周末时分，是工作以后最为让人快乐的两天。可是，周末不一定有事情做。好似今天，一不小心就睡过了头；好似昨晚，一不小心就太早睡着了。什么跑步啊，看书啊，都随我入梦。
睡醒，朦朦胧胧的，不知道该做什么，竟然边上网边吃零食，超级不健康！这就是懒洋洋的定义，懒洋洋的要做什么都可以。原本想给自己做两块banana pancake，可是到楼下的杂货店，却发现他们没卖香蕉，自己又懒惰到Jurong Point去，只好买了面包就回头。买了回来，也一样撇在一边，就进房间吃零食。
这间屋子，是寂寞的。除了毓豪和我有沟通之外，另外两个室友回家就是躲进房里。只有有球赛的时候，他们才会出现在客厅。偶尔和我们说说话。我和他们，只不过是刚巧住在一起的陌生人。有时候，我发觉我像石媛形容的一样，室友在厨房，她就跑回房里去。有时候我也那样。曾经尝试邀他们一起吃饭，可他们却每天都出门去。
城市人，都是寂寞人。
寂寞又懒惰的我，今天想做什么呢？

我的三分钟热度
我经常想要学新事物。曾经学日文、学肚皮舞、最近还学salsa，可是每次好像都是慢慢慢慢地变得无影无踪。
在想学一样事情的时候，究竟是纯属好玩？还是真的有兴趣？而又是什么让人丧失最初的热忱？人真的很奇怪。
表姐是我看过“三分钟热度”的表表者。为了偶像，她不知换了几个，而且每次都热情无比。爱好，更是多得数不了。今天玩水晶、明天做手工、下周玩茶艺、下个月再玩园艺……这样无穷无尽的在追求。虽然如此，她的热忱，却让我们觉得她很可爱、且永远都精彩。
小时候，爱好那一栏总是很容易就填上，什么集邮啦、电脑啦、看书啦……现在，我都不知道是什么了。或许，是学习？所以我们才一直追求不同的事物？
真是不了解……
你觉得呢？
（最近我的部落格的读者好想少了，评语也少了……是否我的文字和生活再也不精彩？还是三分钟热度？：P）

老兄，请你把心胸开阔一点！
傍晚闲来无事，就决定到IMM去买买东西（听起来很aunty）。从文礼到IMM，有shuttle bus。好处就是把你直接载到IMM门口，不怕风吹雨打。
说了是免费服务，就有各行各色的人上巴士 （而且是争先恐后哦！别以为新加坡人就爱排队！）屁股才碰到椅子，那位巴士司机突然对一个Bangaladeshi工地工人大喊：“oi!brother!this is for shopping!not for worker!!!TAKE OUT! TAKE OUT！”那位仁兄显然不是很明白，就往车里走。那司机老兄一连愤怒的样子，一直瞪着倒后镜。然后重复同样的话。
后来我才弄明白老兄并非赶他下车，而是想他该把工作服脱下。可是吧，当时老兄那种语气和充满轻视的眼神……老兄，需要吗？！大家都是人，说明白也不过是因为他比你黑，工作比你脏，比你辛苦，你也不必看不起人！
只不过是我们生活在很好的环境，平平安安过日子，没有爆炸，没有战争，有教育，有饭吃，不代表我们比他人高一等。说穿了，我们也一样，有着同一个祖宗——猴。还不是一样……皮肤不同颜色，真的要以这样不同的眼光吗？
真可悲！

Of work and career
I always wonder, what makes people feel bored of going to work? Is that because we've lost our passion to things in daily life? Is that because we're affected by negative energy around us when people having too much of complaints? Or is it because, we simply never feel our importance in things that we do?
I think, it is important, to feel important. Every single person, likes to feel "being" there, Being Somebody to someone. I think the feeling of that, makes a person strives harder.
I saw Hui Nee blogging about the life of her job. I like the way she said, she feels good because things she does, will affect millions of costumers of the product. And that makes her feel good, and wants to do the best for the products! I feel that's a very positive way to deal with our job. If you think it's just a job, I think we'll possibly stuck at the same condition for quite some time. Until one day, some luck strikes you and you've got promoted. If you think it's your career, and you can make a difference, you can!
So, I think it applies not just in our career. We have to find our own passion in every tiny little things that we do, everyday. That will keep us going.
Cheers~

SEATRU
Let's help to make a difference!
Have you ever heard of SEATRU? If not, this is a good time to learn about this. SEATRU, is Sea Turtle Research Unit by Universiti Malaysia Terengganu. I have never heard of this until my cousin told us about it. She's the future vet!
Anyway, it's a voluntary programme which you go to Pulau Redang for a week to help to save the sea turtles. From my cousin's experience, they went there for a week, waited for the sea turtle to come to the beach to lay eggs. Then, they collected the eggs and waited for them to hatch. After hatching, they will take care for the babies for a day or two (I don't remember) and released them back into the sea.
For those who think this is purely for fun, please take note that you will have to do some night shifts.
I'm planning to register for this programme. According to my cousin, the programme is opened for registration on February. And the period for the programme is from May to August. Sounds good to me!
Anyone interested?

Heading to?
I remember some of the phrases from my boss. Sometimes, I think they're very meaningful. He said, "Since when following people is a good idea?" He had told me something similar before, not just once or twice. He likes to have new ideas, new way of doing things. I guess, that was why several months ago he decided to try a fresh grad for the first time in the department.
I reflect the things that I have done. I think, sometimes, maybe I've followed too much. And it is proven that I had followed the wrong person once. Lucky for me, nothing big happened to me.
I'm already 4 months in my job but I am still feeling very NEW. There are so many things to learn, so many techniques to analyse a failure. I learn my way to different techniques and different equipments and principles with every different material that I'm dealing with. It is also good, that I have the chance to know different people, across the departments and institutes.
There's no end for the road called learning. But it doesn't make sense as well, if I have to depend on others so much on every job request I received. So, what's the plan? I asked myself.
Sometimes I kinda feel that I'm heading no where.
Well... Where shall I head?

Yea yea... I had recovered on Saturday, and went for a weekend getaway in...... Conrad Hotel. What's more? It's a Business Level and we had all the access to executive lounge. All day~ Hahahaha!!!! Well, I didn't pay a cent for the stay. Yee Hau won that as grand prize in one of the lucky draw. The gift voucher is valid for 6 months from the date he received it, and we had booked from the hotel for this particular weekend.
No wonder I have miraculous recovery.
It's a weekend getaway, so we're kinda live like no tomorrow. We EAT, SUPER SINFUL food!

It's not a good month for me, I've been feeling not so well most of the days throughout the month. I had sprained neck, I had flu back home during Raya... Yesterday, everything adds up, I had flu, sore throat, feverish, diarrhea (a bit)...
I take it as normal sickness, so I went to work. But after a few hours, I thought I couldn't do well at work, so I took a half day off and I rest at home, slept for the whole day until I missed the opening hour of clinic. I cooked porridge and chrysanthemum tea for myself and I thought I shall be alright this morning.
But NO! I couldn't get up for work, so I slept through the morning and went to see a doctor. Poor thing...
I hate to be sick because I feel helpless... And being at home for nothing to do at all, simply sleeping, makes me feel useless too....
Luckily I'm already feeling better after the medicine and some sleep. Tomorrow will be a better day~

祝我生日快乐！
双十节，是很容易记得的日子。所以，我的生日是很好记的。长大了，生日和其他的日子也就没有什么大分别。顶多也是吃个饭，看部电影就了事。和平时周末出街拍拖没有太大的差别。也没有特地告诉我的同事今天是我的生日，反正也是一顿午餐。哈哈哈！怎么才24岁就老气横秋……
昨天也不知为什么那样疲累，十一点钟就倒下睡觉。毓豪真是被我玩了！没办法，12点正他就把我叫醒，起来吹蜡烛。哈哈哈哈！吃了两口蛋糕，我倒头再睡！真是猪！蛋糕好好吃，swensens的雪糕蛋糕。记得两年前的十月十日，celeste也是被我玩残了！我十点钟就睡觉，搞得她买的蛋糕就一直坐在冰厨里不能出来。双十节那一天，我又出们吃晚餐。最后她忍无可忍，惊喜也没有了。差点把她气死！想起来真好笑。
生日，是reflect自己的好日子。回想自己的生活，看看什么该做，什么应该改进，什么不该做。好好努力，我相信我有很美好的日子。
不知道为什么，觉得头很大

Judge a Book by Its Cover
How often do we judge a book by its cover? How often do we judge a person by his/her look? I have to be honest to all of you, it happens often enough to me.
People who know me well enough, know that I'm never a gentle lady who owns a cupboard of pink dresses and make-up table. But today, a man told me I'm too gentle to be an engineer. He thought I was a teacher, or even a nurse. All because of I sprained my neck this morning!
The "wildest" sprain I had in my life. I sprained my neck by sneezing this morning. Don't laugh! I know it's very FUNNY! But it's REAL! And it HURTS too! I almost cried. But after a while, it seems fine, and I continue with my plan, to go Jurong East Citibank to sign up for the credit card which ties to SMRT. However, apparently, my neck didn't do quite well, and I had to maintain the very very small moves. That was how I made the bank personnel who attended to me think I'm too gentle to be an engineer! Oh Gosh! I almost replied him, wait till you know me! Of course I didn't, who the hell has this kinda mood when the neck is sprained?
I'm never a gentle lady, but today someone thought I'm very gentle, even thought I'm the good nurse in hospitals. Oh Come On................................ That would not be me!
I wasn't upset nor happy. But I was thinking, how often to I judge people I met by the way he/she appears to me? WAY TOO OFTEN... Some people that I dislike on first sight, turned out to be some of my quite good friends; While some of the people whom appear to be fine to me, turned out to be someone who gets on my nerves! And how come I never learned the lesson? Don't judge!
Everyone is born to be different. Even friends, whom you thought you had known them for quite some time can surprise you with some extraordinary talents that you never knew they had! So why do we want to judge people the way they appear? Knock me off the next time you heard me judging a person will ya?
FINE! Stop laughing about my sprained neck ok? I know nobody could sprain a neck by sneezing...

爱，可以改变一个人
有时候，我会梦见我失去了生命中很重要的东西。梦醒来发现自己泪流满脸，而且也不能停止地流。生命中不可缺少的东西，就是我所爱的人。
从来都不能为自己所爱的人安排名次，因为那是很残忍的事情。妈妈和女朋友掉进海里，你会先救谁？这类问题，永远没有答案。爸爸妈妈，你比较爱哪位？也永远没有答案，因为，那是最笨的问题。爱，哪有名次可言？
爱其实是生命中永不停息的努力。因为爱一个人，你会很努力，不辜负爱你的人对你的期望。好好的生活，努力充实自己，为的就是给自己爱的人有最好的一切。也因为爱，就是不想失去。所以，爱，是很艰辛的旅程。多少人真正爱一个人？我想，那是很艰难的问答。
我有时很想堕落。因为，堕落是件很容易的事。堕落不用努力。水往低处流，人要往下滚会有多难？但我从来都做不到，因为我知道父母会失望，我爱他们，就不可以让他们失落，更不能失去他们的爱。因此，我一直不敢堕落。
我记得小时候我问姐姐，为什么爸爸妈妈从来没有written rules，而我却有好多事情都不敢做？我忘了她是怎么回答，现在我却了解完全是因为爱，那就是最好的教育。Written Rules?我家里从不吃那套。
爱是一个永不停息的努力。
你爱一个人，或许会改变他。但条件是，他必须同时爱自己。爱不是给一个人所有物质享受，而是共同永不停息的努力。

小说
为什么小说中的剧情从来都未发生在我身上？
从来没有英俊潇洒的男孩在雨中为我送伞然后悄然离去、从来没有人突然上前说服我应征当明星、从来没有让人艳羡的天赋，至少可以成为音乐家、从来没有……
在北京的日子，我发现我也从来没有小说女主角的“本钱”，不开心可以不上班。再厌倦、再伤心、再疲劳，我还是得拖着红肿的眼睛上班、上课。只有女主角才有在家休养的本钱。我，不能。
小说得来的一切，非常容易，全凭作家想象。好人有让人艳羡的天赋和才气，却往往没有运气，让读者平平为他打抱不平。而坏人呢，往往运气奇佳，把好人把玩了一遍又一遍，让人生气。究竟是生活平凡，还是人永远就改不了那窥探的心态，小说的故事再平凡，都有得卖；爱情小说再俗气，都有作家每天每夜不停地写。而我，也是众多作家的读者之一。
生活有时确实很无趣，经常有吵吵嚷嚷的人在身边，投诉这和那，让我纳闷。小说的世界里，竟然找到解脱。果然，书本是生活的朋友。
今天，有无小说情节发生在你身上？我，没有。

Guitar? I hope the answer is Violin
Guitar
You're very independent - both in spirit and in the way you learn.
You can teach yourself almost anything, even if it makes your fingers bleed.
You're not really the type to sit patiently through a music lesson - or do things by the book.
It's more your style to master the fundamentals and see where they take you.
Highly creative and a bit eclectic, you need a wide range of music to play.
You could emerge as a sensitive songwriter... or a manic rock star.
Your dominant personality characteristic: being rebellious
Your secondary personality characteristic: tenacity

Choices and Chances
Choice, is actually given to everybody. Chances too.
How often do you mourne for being in bad luck? How often do you complain to your close friends for being dumped in a very terrible situation? I have to admit, it does happen very often to myself! And it happens to friends arround me very often too.
If we take our time, to sit down and think for ourselves. Choices and Chances are always given to us, under any circumstances. No? Think again.
Several days ago, a "kaypoh" person started out a busy body conversation with me, telling me "someone" whom doesn't want to be named told him that he/she can always hear my laughter in the office ALL THE TIME. I asked him:"So?" I was not happy to be very honest. I know, and my boss knows that our aisle is the quietest aisle compared to those around us. We do communicate among team mates, don't get me wrong. But we just don't spend most of the time talking. Such a remark, can't stop me from thinking it is unfair to judge. Especially the "someone" is actually from the aisle we always think "how come they never need to work?", because of simply talking so much.
I wasn't happy. And I told Yee Hau and Kia Hooi. Both of them told me just be myself. These people simply want to find things to say. Yes, be myself, be happy.
Why find flaws in people? When you can see good things in them? Why busy body? When you have so much work to do. Why bother to listen to the crap? When I have more educational things to learn.
In this case, I was given a choice to ignore and given a chance to learn. Ignore nonsense, and learn the fact you can't cheer everyone in the world.
Choices and Chances. Let's think twice before act.

我的弟弟
有个弟弟的感觉其实很不一样。小的时候，我就是小霸王，虽然不至于要风得风，毕竟是家里的小女儿，父母疼爱，姐姐也很爱我。弟弟的出现，来得很突然。虽然妈妈怀胎九月，对我来说，仍是突然发生的。我从小就养成观察但不要问太多的习惯。这都是妈妈“教”的。小时候问东问西，总是被一大堆弄我一头雾水的答案搞得我糊里糊涂。所以，就渐渐养成自己寻找答案，或者问姐姐。妈妈也没告诉我弟弟几时会出来，除了肚子大了点，我们的生活并没有什么改变。
直到那一天早上，姐姐把睡梦中的我叫醒。“快点准备，我们去看弟弟！”我朦朦胧胧，觉得好奇怪。看见他的那一刻，只觉得他长得好奇怪，那一头站着的头发，很好笑。可是，人人都说他长得像我。
把弟弟带进家庭的前几个月，我想我都在适应如何应付这么小的东西。姐姐则溺爱他得像个年轻妈妈溺爱自己的儿子一样，每天给他唱个哄他睡觉等等。生活突然多了很多乐事。
小时候的弟弟，真得很可爱。他除了很好玩，很好奇之外，还很信任我。这让我觉得很新鲜。我叫他做什么，他都做。简直把他当作自己的洋娃娃。在大一点的时候，他就开始懂得分辨错对，那时更好玩，家里总是闹得天翻地覆。因为，他很爱喊。而他越爱喊，我就越爱作弄他。
我：恩，什么葡萄最好吃？
恩：不知道（带点口吃-bu gte gtao)
我：恩恩的葡萄最好吃！（手抓恩的盘子里的葡萄吃！）
恩：啊！！！！！！！！！妈咪！！！！！！
这条＂ｋｉｕ＂我用了很久，他还是每次都喊！很奇怪吧！我总是觉得他也乐在其中。
现在他长大了，声音变出了，也比我长得高了。我偶尔怀念小时候的他，我会看看他的照片。我总是在想，这个弟弟长大后会怎样？几时交女朋友？什么时候开始会拒绝和我一起看电影？有个弟弟的感觉，有时和妈妈一样。想要他长大，却又不想他长大。
你明白吗？

中秋节快乐！
不知道大家有没有注意这现象，现代人啊，庆祝佳节好像就是为了吃。中秋节嘛！就是大卖特卖那奇奇怪怪的月饼！有榴莲味、柳橙味、tiramisu、芝士等等。对我个人而言，都没有传统的月饼好吃。都是生意的手段？还是在这个年代，真的是不得不跟着步伐走？样样要更新？
妈妈的月饼更好吃，可惜没回家。
这个中秋节，也就这样和普通日子一样，糊糊涂涂地过。除了先前在吉隆坡买了一盒月饼回公司以外，什么其它的都没有。也没看见小孩提灯笼游街。我在想，会不会有一天，我问小孩，你有提灯笼吗？他会看着我，把我当成不小心乘坐小叮当的时光机到未来世界的人？他也或许不会这样想，因为他更不知道小叮当？哈哈哈！
我最喜欢小时候，自己一人拥有好多灯笼。除了那最传统的纸灯笼（也就是我认为最美丽的灯笼），还有一条龙、一条鱼、一只蝴蝶……但往往灯笼都被我烧坏，所以最后，每一年爸爸只给我买纸灯笼，便宜实际，烧毁了也无所谓。甚至每年中秋节玩蜡烛的时候，都会把那五毛钱的纸灯笼给烧毁，反正新的一年又有新的灯笼。现在想起来，真是浪费而且不环保！
不管怎样，中秋节快乐！

Why are you being dumped by your friends?
Saw this title on the cover page of the "teen" magazine in NTUC this afternoon. And the first thing that came into my mind, this is not a problem for teenagers only.
As we grown, the friends around us come and go. Some may return, but some, you might have even forgotten their names and looks. This is the reality of life, all start with "busy" as an excuse of losing the communication.
Come to think of it, we can continue the friendship by being the one who takes initiative to contact each other. This is just a button away since now (almost) all of us own a mobile phone and a pc. Right? Forgive me for sometimes I didn't take initiative... And I forgive you too, that when I have taken my initiative but you never reply.
Friends, are not work, not competition. It's true, that we have best friends, good friends, normal friends, hang out friends, know-by-name-only friends etc. There are different levels of friendship. But nonetheless, please don't get jealous when your friends appear to be closer to the other. This is just life. That you may have a closer friend that him or her too, right?
Friends, are not forever. Only true friends are. Who are your true friends?

The Mind Cafe
It's a belated birthday celebration for Sock Hoai. Happy birthday gal!~
We spent our night at the Mind Cafe. I am never a big fan of board game, but this is really fun! At first I wasn't quite keen to the idea, as I thought board games might need a little of my brain... But Ching Sian assure me, that I don't really have to bring my brain along. So, I voted for this, putting 100% trust on what he told me.
IT IS REAL FUN!
We had mostly brainless games! And 9 of us, been acting like we had forgotten our age, our identity etc.... All we did, were shouting, grabbing, cheating, crazying.... violently! The neighbouring tables were looking at us, curiously. And of course, when we put aside the games, they will pick them up to play. Hahahaha!
We spent 5 hours in that particular cafe. I guess, I don't have to further elaborate how fun it can be :)

Don't Defence Your EGO
It's been 3 months since I started to work. It has been eventful, with all the ups and downs. I was surprised, that so many things can happen in such a short period of time.
Sometimes, I would get confused that my job is just to be there to talk to people. To be able to get my job done, I have to arrange for short meetings with people from different area just to understand my role in certain issue. Sometimes, I need to get information; Sometimes, I need to address my boss; Sometimes, I need to request for something; Sometimes, I need to read emails and reply all of them and digest them as well; Sometimes, I need to call the vendors... And, so often, I do all these on the same day, and I end up doing talking and listening for the whole day!
I always tell myself, maybe this happen just because the lab is temporarily down for now.
I start to understand how all things go for different people in the team. There may be some of the things that I dislike, but we'll have to understand, nobody is born the same. This is a simple fact. But sadly, I don't think everyone understands this. Sometimes, I have to remind myself of this too.
Due to some changes we need to make now in the lab, I start to understand how people refuse to accept changes. At least, in a positive way. It's very hard to get people being convinced of what you're trying to do, especially you're such a FRESHIE. And I start to feel the Tai Chi in the air, that people fan away responsibility, and defence their old thinking.
But, nobody is born the same. Change is the only constant. So everybody needs a change eventually...
So, don't defence our ego.

Malaysia... Oh Malaysia...
I'm not sure if any one of you having the same feeling as I do. Every time I go back to Malaysia, I'm simply feeling very happy. Even if I go KL, not my hometown, I'm feeling very good, that I stepped on my "own" land.
Is it simply because of the food? That taste like my childhood? That taste like my memory? I think I don't really have the answer. I guess, it is simply because you grow up on this land, and you feel wonderful when people are speaking the language that you once know, in the tone and slang only you know the best.
I have spent quite a lot back in KL last week. The main contributor is of course the concert ticket which cost me RM200 per pax. I paid for 2 because it's a birthday present for Yee Hau too. Then, we have to pay for the hotel and the return bus ticket as well. And, we paid for the shopping and food that we had! Hahaha!
These photos are just a few that I picked to tell you where did I go, and what did I do over the weekend in KL.
Of course, our main purpose of going to KL, is to watch Jacky Cheung perform in his concert. Yee Hau, me and my Ah Ku were having the ice-cream I bought at the gate of stadium.
The next morning(well, not really a morning...), we had breakfast in Chinatown. Ham Chim Peng and Yew Cha Koay were my favourite. You can't get freshly cooked Ham Chim Peng in normal Singapore hawker centre, but you can get this everywhere in M'sia.
We checked out the hotel, and head towards the famous MidValley. To my surprise, the Rapid KL is very new and fast, and good! Took photo on the bus like some Shua Ba Gao...
Then, due to my crave for having some caffeine, we stopped by at San Francisco Coffee in MidValley before starting with all the shopping.
Some random photos of shopping...
Then, the hungry me went to Nando's Chicken. This is the cool pic I took for Yee Hau, isn't it nice?
Then, the supper is Satay! Singapore satay are extremely expensive compared to Malaysia. So, it kinda like a compulsory event to do in Malaysia.
Then, the Ha Min (Prawn Noodle), which was quite good!
Then, we boarded the bus to go Singapore again... With my stomach, filled with all the good food. Of course, hawker food in KL is nothing compared to Penang. Penang is the best place for hawker food, it's even voted the best in some famous magazines. It is no doubt, people like us, can be very choosy for GOOD food... ^^
Is it simply because of the food? That taste like my childhood? That taste like my memory? I think I don't really have the answer. I guess, it is simply because you grow up on this land, and you feel wonderful when people are speaking the language that you once know, in the tone and slang only you know the best.
I have spent quite a lot back in KL last week. The main contributor is of course the concert ticket which cost me RM200 per pax. I paid for 2 because it's a birthday present for Yee Hau too. Then, we have to pay for the hotel and the return bus ticket as well. And, we paid for the shopping and food that we had! Hahaha!

学友光年世界巡回演唱会
说起张学友，几乎没有朋友不知道，他就是我从小到大非常崇拜的一位偶像！我多年的期盼，期盼有天会亲身体验他的演唱会，终于都在九月十四日那天实现了！姐姐写的“薇薇的张学友”很简单的形容我对张学友的爱戴。
为了张学友，我不惜一切，请了半天假，把小舅和毓豪都给骗到吉隆坡去。可惜，姐姐忙得很，未能参与我们的阵容。我们订了RM198的票，订了酒店，就一直等着星期五的到来。说实在的，有点压力。因为，前阵子学友他取消了香港的演唱会，加上现在高速公路甚严，一直很担心半天假请得不够……
还好，最后我还是坐在演唱会现场了。长话短说，张学友的演唱会实在是太棒太棒了！由开场到结尾，我都未能形容，他声音的那爆发力给我带来的无力感。这种声线，这种完美华丽的歌声，真的只有张学友才配得起“歌神”这称号。由“爱火花”、“头发乱了”等四首快歌，学友把大家都弄热了！然后，就来点经典的歌曲。如预期中的“每天爱你多一些”、“吻别”、“遥远的她”、“只想一生跟你走”……
此外，张学友为了那些从来没观赏过他的“雪狼湖”的观众（我！），特别带来一个超短歌舞剧，由“如果·爱”和“雪狼湖”的歌曲组编而成。这整个歌舞剧，我几乎屏息静气的，无法按照正常的规律来呼吸，因为，学友的歌声，就是太棒太棒！
歌舞剧后，学友竟然说再见。歌迷们当然不愿意，我们安歌了又安歌，张学友突然唱出“我真的受伤了”，差点害我喊破喉咙，皆因，太好听了！然后陆陆续续几首非常熟悉的歌曲，“情书”、“她来听我的演唱会”、“暗恋你”、“等你等到我心痛”、“李香兰”、“蓝雨”、“月半弯”……听得我如痴如醉，真的不想演唱会就这样结束。
学友最后以一首“祝福”送别歌迷。我那时真地想哭了，怎么就这样结束了吗？好想他再继续唱下去，可是不可能吧！都将近4个小时了……
下一次（不管学友那时50岁还是60岁，甚至70岁），我一定要付更多钱，坐在前排。因为，前排的歌迷安歌可以点歌哦！前面的安娣就是这样点了“李香兰”，虽然我也很喜欢这首歌，但是我有更多更多张学友的好歌想听……“真情流露”、“你的名字我的姓氏”、“不老的传说”、“分手总要在雨天”……哪有可能给列完呢？
除了歌唱，值得一提的是设计和编排。燃放烟花、灯光、音响，都可以说安排得很好！总是给观众带来惊喜连连，值得啊！值得！当然，少不了称赞那非常厉害的乐队。没有他们的音乐，当然就没有张学友的演唱会啦！
就这样，我第一次观赏张学友演唱会。以后，一定还有以后……

Dragon Boat
I had fun today!
It's the PE's quarterly team building again. This time, in short notice, we went to Kallang for dragon boat! I was actually quite excited when I was informed with the news. How often can someone like me go for dragon boat? NEVER!
We gathered in one of the restaurant located near Kallang indoor stadium, Mushroom Pot 9am. Then, we had comm session which our director shared some visions with us. We then brainstormed for some posters competition when we're divided into teams according to the products. After that, we had STEAMBOAT in Mushroom Pot. It's a chinese traditional herbal soup and different kinds of mushrooms!!!! Oh, carnivores, don't worry, the restaurant serves meat too! Hehe! The steamboat is good!
At 1pm, we started to gather to walk or drive to the place that we're going to have our dragon boat experience. Lucky enough for me, my colleagues drove us there. At 1++, we're already stretching according to the instructions given by the coaches (2 outsiders, and one colleague which is a member the company dragon boat team.) We're complaining like school kids cause we just had our mushrooms... We're imagining the mushrooms swimming in the stomach! Managers with big belly were complaining too, because they can't touch their toes... :P
We're divided into 3 teams, each 20 people with a coach. We're briefed with safety instructions, safety always comes first. Then, we board the boat! Ok, this is the best part... I was wondering at the moment I boarded because I thought I should sit at the right place. But, apparently there were two guys who can't fit into the seat of the head of the boat (Their butts are too big for the narrow seat). And one of the manager just grabbed me (since I was stoning) to sit in front with one of the guy. This is a wrong decision to say ok. Cause, the one in front is so important, I have to shout all the way! OMG!
Sometimes, I think working adults are no different from the school kids. We're supposed to train and compete among each other. But before the competition, we're already competing. We're chasing each other's boat (it's so hard to play chase on the boat!) to splash water on the opposing team! Gosh! My responsibility is to get my team member out of the danger! ROW FOR YOUR LIFE!
I really had fun playing! Dragon Boat is so cool!~ Maybe it's cool only because all of us are so crazy when we're out of our computers and projects. I like this.
Anyway, if someone wants to go dragon boat some time, please remember to invite me. But this time, make sure I sit behind :P
(PS. Found out that one of the manager in the team is so cute, that when he smiles, I can't see his eyes. Like this - - hahahahaha!!! Never notice that because I never really talked to him.)
Good news for my FA team, that one of my colleague's wife delivered a baby boy when we're rowing the boat. He's so happy~

煮饭
爸爸说为什么我没把自己煮的饭菜照相后放在网上?我想想,大概是觉得自己煮的不过是普普通通的东西,放在部落上是献丑啊!况且,我平时放工比较迟,回家都晚了。即便是煮饭，也多数是毓豪煮的，随随便便，有的吃就好。
今天周六，难得我没有节目。一觉醒来已是十点钟！哈哈哈！无无聊聊的，洗了澡便到市场买菜去。煮几道菜来尝尝！
反正闲来无事，便学学石媛，把食物的照片放上网！
豆腐
现将豆腐放入锅内清蒸。然后，准备浆料。首先，爆香蒜头。之后，把虾米和辣椒一同加入。片刻，加入酱青，在加点水。多炒一会儿，就可酱料倒在蒸好的豆腐上。上菜！~
蔬菜
材料：
一桌的食物，一下子就扫个清光。除了以上所提的蔬菜和豆腐之外，我还尝试模仿阿嬷炒的鸡蛋。结果和众位阿姨和妈妈一样——失败！阿嬷的炒蛋是全世界最好吃的蛋！可惜，我没有天分。然后，我还煮了一过老黄瓜汤！
嗯……还可以啦！呵呵！！
