Excitement vs Routine

A good friend of mine had told me she needs excitement.

Yes, life is indeed a process.

Born, Grow Up, Play, Schooling, Graduate, Work, Get married, Buy a house, Have Children, Aging, Say goodbye

Indeed, it sounds very boring.

But, life is like cooking. If I were to cook you your favorite food, say mushrooms, with just mushrooms, I bet you'll hate the dish. But, if I were to cook you mushrooms, with salt, butter, garlic, onions, pepper, and maybe even garnish with some parsley, the dish could be quite savoring.

You can only serve a delicious dish if you love cooking.

Same for life.

My first two years in Singapore, I've got to tell you, I hated it. No life, I kept telling friends and family. I learned how to appreciate what I have, how to tune to different types of lifestyles, how to accustom to different type of people when I spent my one semester in Beijing.

Then, my life in Singapore is no longer the same.

I learn how to enjoy, I learn how to find excitement of my own, even they're sometimes a bit different from excitements from others' perspective.

A nice photo makes my day

A new dish I cooked makes me happy

A trip to picnic by the beach

A short trip back home

A day with my cousins

etc. and the list goes on

How would I describe my life now? Pretty exciting sometimes, packed with my own activities, be it with friends or family or on my own, be it very different or very general. But like anybody else, there aren't excitements everyday.

Because when excitement becomes a routine, there will be no excitement anymore.

Every little small things can change our life, excitements don't drop from the sky, get one yourself!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Watching cartoon is one of the funnest things to do with my siblings. And with my Deepavali home trip, we watched the currently showing, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, in 3D.

The story was not something to shout about, a kid who dream to be a great scientist and how he failed repeatedly to finally become successful. The 3D effect wasn't as great as Up, still my favourite animation of 2009 by far.

However, for a great laugh, those meatballs have really made the cinema blasted with laughters, almost non-stop.

I would still give 3/5 for this show.

:D

Disastrous Star Wars Toys

I saw this in one of the shops in Plaza Singapura last weekend. Donald Duck as Han Solo, I almost bought this for Ying Ying. Since both DD and Han Solo are her favourite characters. But come to think of it, this is just... so...

Even worse, Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia which was just beside DD. I almost fainted...

But, the worst has yet to come...

~The Most Sissy Darth Vader EVER~

The Aviator

It's a really old movie, back dated to year 2004. I do not remember why on earth I'd miss this movie in cinema. I remember I wanted to watch this, I blamed that on Yee Hau whom didn't chose this movie at the cinema, for what other movie, I didn't remember actually.

Well, at least he made up with a DVD on weekends.

Fortunately.

The Aviator is not a movie you'd liked to miss. Great acting from Leonardo DiCaprio had really made Howard Hughes a very attractive character, though, at the end of the show, he had turned crazy.

There's no need in story elaboration, since it was actually made from true story. Leonardo is really such a charismatic actor! But I guess actresses would hate him, because he made every other women looked so old.

Surrogates

Bruce Willis 是放弃看Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 而选择Surrogates的唯一理由。

昨天，我拎着生日优惠，在GV和毓豪徘徊决定于这两部电影之间，而他坚持“不是吧，又看卡通”，而我也觉得“Ok 啦，至少是Bruce，应该还可以”，就看了。

不好看！

故事普通也就算了，视觉效果也没什么。再加上，喜欢Bruce是因为他眼里的沧桑感，他污浊而有型的样子，他很顺滑的演技。在这部电影里，却都找不到。因为Bruce在电影里，一半的时间，是Surrogates，所以，皮光润滑，还有头发喔！看了很不爽！

当然，Bruce还是英雄，可我还是情愿看他在Die Hard里怎么打怎么炸他都不死。

verdict:

2.5/5

还是不看好……

（观后，毓豪说District 9比这个好看多了。我看着他，两个不同等级的东西是不能够拿来作比较的。）

出轨

男人和女人在办公室里是邻居。男人比女人年长，但两人趣味相投，经常都是聊到不亦乐乎，尤其对非主流电影。

男人和女人和许多同事一样，都是未婚人士。可，他们未婚却并非单身。两人在公司以外都有个爱情长跑的伴侣，相爱得很，只等待共结连理的一天。两人不时在聊天之时，也聊一些爱情的观点，谈恋情中的趣事。比同事间的感情好一点，像一般朋友一样。

两个月前，两人接获经理的通知，被派到英国受训两个月，回来接受一个大计划。两人都是事业心重的城市人，当天下班就庆祝接受大计划，共同讨论该如何应对。

因为从香港分行被派到英国的，只有他俩。在那里受训的日子，都是相依为命。每天下班以后，男人女人一起上健身房运动，然后回宿舍下厨弄晚餐。偶尔忙碌的时候，就到中餐馆用餐。

女人渐渐对男人的感觉比朋友多一些，但也碍着各自都已拍拖，这好努力说服自己，一切不过是异乡的寂寞所引起。

男人也渐渐喜欢上女人。但，却不想破坏对方的感情世界，也不想伤害女友，也一样默默承受。

有天晚上，下起大雨。男人女人在酒吧喝酒至深夜，雨停后才回宿舍。结果，女人在男人的床上过了一夜。

男人女人并没做了什么。女人只是轻轻把头靠在男人的肩膀，过了一夜。趁男人未睡醒的时候，女人就走了。

接下来训练的最后一个星期，两人也用一贯“成人的成熟态度”，不提那一晚的事，勉强挨过一周。

“我们什么都没做，没对不起任何人。”两人不约而同的这样想。但内心深处都知道，这是自己骗自己的说法。

回香港后，女人同男友分手，申请长期在英国母公司上班。男人同女友结婚，以为可以忘记一切，却在半年后离婚。

当你爱上一个人的灵魂，那，比爱上一个躯体还要难以自拔。

他们没有出轨。

澳门旅游指南

我刚刚从澳门回来的时候，碰巧遇上佳慧也想到澳门玩玩，但又没空详细的计划，所以我就趁记忆仍新鲜的时候，帮她弄了一个地图。

这里，我就按照地图上的号码，大概为大家介绍介绍：

1. 龙华茶楼
   摄友必去之地。老板是为爱好摄影之人，摄友在老式茶馆拎着相机左拍右拍，没人理你。老式茶馆让人觉得轻松自在，步伐特别慢。老板并不老，而且友善好客，又很幽默。我本人非常喜欢这茶楼。
   这茶楼在网上已经非常有名，游客在那里吃早点，必和老板拍照留念。
2. 大三巴坊一带，驰名黄枝记
   大三巴坊我就不必多介绍，每位游客到澳门必定和那面历史悠久的破墙拍照留念。还有,爱看博物馆的朋友,也别忘了大炮台旁的澳门博物馆。
   我想介绍的是黄枝记，传统homemade的竹升云吞面，非常好吃。至少我俩在那里吃了两顿晚餐，而我连续两晚都吃一样，云吞面。
   周末游客多，排队排长龙。
3. 跑狗场
   这个我没去，可是想想听特别。别人都是赛马，澳门人赌钱赌到没东西毒，连狗都要赌。
4. 松山灯塔
   从来没到过灯塔的我，这是第一次上一个多年以来依旧照耀夜晚的灯塔。可以环视澳门，也处处可见晨运的澳门人。
5. 赌场
   最出名的葡京赌场就在这一带。此外，还有星际、永利、英皇……简直是赌场一条街。
6. 西望洋教堂
   这一带是澳门有钱人居住的地方。我们沿着上路往上走，一路都是豪华的大屋子，到了西望洋教堂，可俯视南湾一带的风景，也可看见澳门旅游塔。
7. 妈阁庙
   澳门以拜祭妈阁为主。我上回有去，这次没到那里了。
   
8. 澳门观光塔
   我们一直只远观，一直要到那里，却没有时间。澳门观光塔，除了可在那里用餐看风景之外，还可以玩一些刺激的游戏，笨猪跳此类的游戏。太恐怖了，我不敢玩。
9. 营地大街，金马轮咖啡饼店
   最好吃的猪扒包，也是最便宜的猪扒包、蛋挞、奶茶……在那里用餐像在电影电视剧一样，在狭窄的空间里每个uncle、auntie近来都想认识彼此一样，说家常便饭的话，谈小孩话新闻，很好的感觉。
   
10. 殷皇子大马路，澳门茶餐厅
    不是非常特别的地方，可我俩在那里吃了两晚的宵夜，因为姐姐说那里的凌蜜(honey lemon)最好喝。

这是向都是澳门半岛里的观光点，此外，还有氹仔和路环。

1. 最好吃的蛋挞，Lord Stow's Garden Cafe
2. 路环消磨时光
3. 氹仔停停走走

在澳门半岛走走，90%的时间可用不行，因为地方不大，走来走去，就到目的地。如果想大巴士，记得准备零钱，因为巴士可没为你找钱。如果你想到的地方靠近任何一家大赌场，可从港澳码头乘搭那赌场的免费巴士，到了赌场，在步行到你的目的地。

澳门好好玩！

丰富的幸福早餐

话说我上一趟回家，碰巧是十五，姑丈总是在初一十五抓螃蟹，听说那时候的螃蟹比较好吃。姑丈抓了螃蟹，便把7只送来我家。妈妈一直没想到该怎么烹调那7只螃蟹，该煮黑胡椒呢？还是粥？还是牛油？

有天晚上，妈妈问：“不如明天早上我们吃螃蟹粥当早餐？”

“哇！”我惊讶得看着妈妈。

“作嬷，不可以麽？不要吃就算！”妈妈说。

“没有没有，只是有点吓倒。”（差点没有好料吃。）

所以我离开家的那天早上，我们吃螃蟹粥当早餐。哈哈哈哈！

中秋节快乐

上回趁马来人新年回家，赶上妈妈做的公仔饼，好好吃！

慈母多败儿，我本人只会吃不会煮。公仔饼好吃不好做，功夫要好，才能够烘一手不软不硬，恰到好处的饼。这小鱼公仔饼是kosong的，是我最喜欢吃的。妈妈还作了黑豆沙和咸豆沙的，连馅都是亲手做的哦！多厉害！咸豆沙是我妈妈独创的公仔饼，外头没得卖！

我实在是太幸福了！！哈哈哈！

涂上一层薄蛋，准备烘咯！

哇！出炉咯！

这几天烟雾特别浓，你说，我可以拍到美丽的月亮吗？

但不管怎样，先在这里祝大家中秋节快乐。得空就看看月亮，想想嫦娥吧~
