坎特布里平原上吃草的羊

“初恋红豆冰”

2010-04-24T11:13:00.000-07:00

最近在书脸上不少朋友分享“初恋红豆冰”的trailer. 我在youtube上看了几个“初恋红豆冰”clips，也忍不住把它贴上书脸让更多人知道这部电影。
自己尤其喜欢电影的主题曲“纯文艺恋爱”。阿牛说这首歌是他年少的时候听过的一首歌。每想到这首歌竟然跟电影如此般配。歌曲加上画面，一开始就让我想掉眼泪。

红豆冰的滋味是初恋的滋味。吃一口冰冰甜甜的，但是还来不及享受就融化了。

红豆冰是马来西亚和新加坡特有的饮料。我想，这部电影，也是属于马来西亚人和新加坡人的。红豆冰的滋味并不是每个人都曾品尝过。红豆冰的记忆不是每个人都可以拥有。

看“初恋红豆冰”的trailer，心里酸酸的，但是脑海浮现的并不是中学时第一个跟我‘牵手’的那个人，而是年少时候一群打打闹闹的朋友，还有小时侯姐姐朋友的妈妈开的红豆冰摊，和小学食堂卖的冰条。

最近人在美国，却跟很多差不多快二十年不见的小学朋友通过书脸再联络上。
他们是我小学参加‘交通游戏’认识的朋友。我们曾经为了比赛，在彼此的家对着地图练习整个晚上，曾经因为比赛第一次搭飞机，曾经因为比赛胜利而大声欢呼，曾经为了失败而包头痛哭，曾经住在同一间酒店的房间，住在同一个宿舍。他们在我小学的最后一年里，为我制造了很多特别的记忆。

从前天真的每一个人，如今已经结了婚，做了爸爸妈妈。而带领我们到处比赛的老师，其中一个也已经过世。

豆冰的滋味是童年的滋味，当时的我们还不懂得好好品尝，它已经成为记忆。

P/S 现在人在美国，不知道回去新加坡的时候“初恋红豆冰”会不会已经下画了。要等我啊“初恋红豆冰”。

Two weeks in US

2010-04-18T13:05:00.000-07:00

After spending two weeks in US, things start to get funny.
Mum and Sis start to have small conflicts. They argue over food, tidiness of the house, political stands and even Oliver.

When we went to Oklahoma and visit the bombing Memorial, Sis talked about how she felt about the victims, and Mum started talking about how more chinese were killed during WWII. And when Sis talked about why google wanna pull out from China, mum gave alot of 'strong' views why Chinese government should hold their stand. Then the trip back to Arkansas became interesting debate between the two. I felt very sleepy on our way to Oklahoma but was all awake on our way back. Oliver was very awake too.

Normally Mum will cook us meals at home but today, Sis decided to prepare some dishes for us. Mum started nagging from when Sis tried to cut vegetable till the dishes were done. Then when Sis wanted to clean up the mess in her car made by Oliver, Mum took over her job, insisted that Sis can't do a good job.

Mum has been in control in the household for very long. So even when she's here, she wants to be in charge. Though Sis and I hope that she can just enjoy her 'long stay' here, it seems like no matter how we plead her not to do certain things, she just can't stop.

Like what chinese always say, small arguments are 情趣. I know they won't 'face-off' due to those small things, so I guess I will just carry on my role as '3rd Party'.

after so long!!!!

哈哈哈。很久没有update了。
现在人在美国。每天还是跟在新加坡一样，做工做工做工。
天气刚刚没有很冷，就一下子变的很热。太阳每天都猛烈的照着，不做防晒出去晒个五分钟就有晒伤的可能。

太阳烈归烈，但是在室内还是非常凉爽。比起新加坡家里像三温暖的工作间，好上太多了。
不知道是环境好还是时差一直都在，工作起来也特别起劲。偶尔晚上还会继续工作而不觉得sian.

我想在这里唯一头痛的是伙食。不是吃不惯美国的食物，而是吃不惯妈妈的伙食。
不知道是巧妇难为无米之炊还是怎样，妈妈的伙食味道奇特的可以。意大利肉丸煮汤加香菇和紫色包菜，肉骨茶加鸡肉香菇和芹菜。连姐姐也不半开玩笑式的不向姐夫抱怨。唯一欣赏她的厨艺的人就是Oliver 了。只要有他想吃的东西，没有人跟他争，他就非常高兴了。

我呢，只要Oliver可以乖乖的不要乱丢东西，我就非常高兴了。

照顾小孩真的是一件非常困难的事。偶尔跟他玩玩还可以，每天，每时，每刻跟他相处，他就变成一个恶魔了。

忍耐，忍耐... 呼...呼...呼...

2009-11-24T05:12:00.000-08:00

Didn't blog for a very long time. Don't really know what I busy with. Maybe I am just too lazy to write anything or maybe I've got too many things I don't know what to write.
Life being a wife isn't much different from being a girl friend. I don't feel myself 'married'. The one obvious thing that's different, I have to address R's parents 'father' and 'mother'. I am still trying to get used to it.

这几个星期工作压力非常非常的大。什么乱七八糟的东西都排山倒海而来。工作量好像是过去一年的分量。
再过几天就可以暂时抛开这一切放假去了，但是想到回来后必须面对更多的工作，心情不免受影响。哎，加油！！

马维斯要离队了。虽然在她离开前还必须要跟我们一样把很多乱七八糟，来自电话簿里面的垃圾全部清理干净，但是我想至少她很快就可以不必再面对这些有的没的了。希望她喜欢她以后的工作。希望我可以喜欢我的工作。。。

计划？？

2009-10-02T05:30:00.000-07:00

忙完了很多东西之后有一种失落感。
工作时想偷懒surf net一下，也不知道要surf些什么。

是时候好好计划接下来要做的事了。
学车？渡蜜月？读书？转业？

2009-07-07T02:18:00.001-07:00

不知道是不是每个女人都像我一样喜欢钻石。虽然明明知道它没有收藏的价值，但是就是喜欢。（哈哈哈，现实鬼）

2009-06-25T01:48:00.001-07:00

Haven't posted anything for 2 months already. Have been busy with many things and I would rather take a nap, watch tv, read magazine, or just nonbiri suru whenever I have time.

Just came back from Taiwan and I can't say it's an joyful trip.

It's a wrong time to travel to taiwan. The weather was so hot and humid I could feel sweat five minutes after we walked out from our hotel. Drinking water was never enough. Everything seemed so far whenever walking required. Though there's typhoon alert and we expected rain, there's only drizzle. Though it's better to travel under sun than rain, how I hope the weather would be just a little bit more cooling.
Finally, the weather became windy one afternoon. But it's the afternoon we were leaving Taipei. We went up to 91st floor of 101 but couldn't go out to enjoy the scene because the wind was too strong and it's too dangerous for human at such high latitude.

Father ever told me taiwanese food are good to see but not good to eat. I thought as father is very health conscious, I might have different opinion on that. It turned out father's right. On our flight back and we recalled our trip, we couldn't recall one single meal or food that we will miss when we came back. I don't really like Singapore's food but now, I will learn to appreciate them all. I ate whole packet of Hainanese chicken rice the second day we reached Singapore (R couldn't finish his portion).

Well, I think I need to at least say some good things about Taiwan. I think Taiwanese people are very friendly, helpful and considerate. Either it's hotel staff, commuters on trains or strangers on street, we didn't encounter anyone who disgusted us.

Anyway, I don't think I will want to return to Taiwan in near future...

谢谢

像我这种Foreign Worker，一辈子不知道要搬几次家。
R的弟弟要把屋子正式租给别人，我也必须要正式般到R的家。

在这里十年了，累计的‘家产’实在不少。
每次搬家都会把很多旧的东西都搬出来看，然后决定是不是该丢了。

把旧东西搬出来的时候找到了很多卡片和信件。是大学的时候我过生日，失恋的时候，朋友给我的。

二十岁生日，二十一岁生日，好像已经离我很远很远。失恋的日子，也已经变成模糊的记忆。

一张张打开来
陌生的名字-- 从前曾经在一起相处，曾经很要好的人，如今已经断了联系。
熟悉的名字-- 庆幸我们还偶尔联络，偶尔见面。

无论现在，将来变成怎样，而我又需要搬几次家，我想这些信件和卡片，都不会沦为‘该丢掉’的东西。
感谢里面的每一个名字，每一个祝福，在我得意，失意的时候陪我度过。

P/S
Miss Bong, PS, SH不知道你们还记不记得谁是大姐大，谁是大姐大大? 哈哈哈...

爸爸的NT

2009-04-10T07:56:00.000-07:00

我不是NT的毕业生，我对NT没有了解。对NT的记忆是大学时有一年在NY House 的中秋晚会，和跟PS, SH在PS哥哥的宿舍看曼联球赛的一个晚上。还有就是NT的旧牌坊就在R家附近。

我知道爸爸对NT有很多的回忆。偶尔在家，他还会聊起他在NT的日子。但是，都是轻描淡写。最近也很少提起了。

两个星期前，我很庆幸有机会跟爸爸，还有他的一群老朋友（都差不多70多岁了）重游了NT。

爸爸自NT毕业已经50年了。这次是他跟同学50周年的聚会。

第一天晚上，我陪爸爸参加了晚会，开始认识他的朋友。很惊讶也很开心他们大多数都很健康活泼。阿姨们还准备了余兴节目，表演了几段舞蹈。

第二天，重游NT。
巴士一驶入NT，我就问爸爸 “还一样吗？” 爸爸遥遥头。

NT方面安排了一个男生为大家讲解，介绍。
男生边讲，一旁的叔叔阿姨，就在一旁纠正，场面尴尬，却有趣。
男生让他们在一个置放现在NT校园模型的地方下车，大家看着模型开始寻找属于他们的记忆。
后来，大家都集中在了一个地点。原来，原本的校园虽然比现有的大上好多，但是当年大家一起读书，游戏，的地方就集中在那里。原来，为了这所学校，他们曾到处筹款，甚至于当时的草木，池塘，都是他们用汗水栽种，挖掘出来的。
他们每一个人都是建校的一份子。
从它的开始到它的关闭，结束，再出发，他们都身在其中。如今面对眼前陌生的一切，他们的心情，我想即使没有人说出口，彼此也能够了解。

最后，男生带大家到最初NT校门的地点，也就是R家附近那个牌坊的所在地。
牌坊现在成了公园的一部分。
叔叔阿姨个个抬头看，都不相信那是最初的那个大门。
“不一样了” ，“不像” 大家都说。
为什么呢？
回去酒店过后，我翻了翻一本关于NT历史的书，找到了答案。
牌坊上大学的名字曾经被换上了公园的名字。过后，不知道是不是由于民众的反对而又换回了原来的名字。
R也证实了这件事。他记得牌坊上的字曾被换过。原来，他也是见证这一部分历史的一份子。

这次没有离开这岛国的旅行，除了一各某位叔叔的孙女外，我在一群叔叔阿姨中，是唯一一个年轻人。（在他们之中，我算很年轻了）
虽然我不认为他们会记得我，我也不知道以后再见到他们我是不是还认得他们。但是我感到很荣幸可以参与这一次的旅行。庆幸自己有机会，跟一群亲生经历重要历史的长辈，一起追寻他们的回忆....

P/S
人生，能有多少个50年？
50年后我会不会有一群与我共享福，共患难的朋友跟我一起话单年？

祝大家健康

临时动议

2009-03-18T05:13:00.000-07:00

一直没有在我的计划里面，但是现在却真的决定了。
这个夏天，我要去台湾。
虽然因为工作的关系，我对台湾的政治可以说时相当了解，但是对于台湾的观光胜地，实在没有什么认识。
一个星期前开始认真做搜索，才知道原来台北在番薯的哪个部分，跟桃园原来这么接近，‘流浪到淡水’的淡水原来长这个样子。
R说过旅行不要做太详细的策划，一路上才会充满惊喜。我想这次的就听他的。让我们进行一次新奇之旅。

烦

2009-03-03T05:50:00.000-08:00

很烦。
好像很多事情要做，却不知道怎么开始。
R说我三心二意，或许是吧。我今天坚持这样，明天又会觉得那样比较好。

怎么办？好烦！

New Member of the Family!!!

2009-02-16T01:54:00.000-08:00

This morning, a new member arrived in R's family.

She's a baby....

R's mum got this black retriever puppy from the neighbour.

Immediately, she's given the name 'Lucky'.

According to R, the name 'Lucky' has been passed down from many generations. So I didn't have the honour to name the pup. Hahahah...

I played with Lucky during lunch just now and she's quite a good girl.

Hope she can bring more laughter to the household :)

V Day

2009-02-16T01:43:00.001-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day!
Though it reached me days before Valentine's day, it came as a surprise and made me happy. Hahaha..
Though there wasn't any special celebration, it's heart warming.

有感而发：
情人节好像只属于年轻人。
情人节的晚上，看到餐厅里送花，收礼物的，大多数都是十几二十岁的人。
或许年纪大了，不需要浪漫的情人节，只要身边有一个可以依靠，分享生活的人，就是最浪漫的事了。

2009-02-06T06:05:00.000-08:00

过年前家里添了一个新成员。他是Wilbert, 三姐的儿子。

三姐因为生产的关系，不能回家过年。

由于是新手妈妈，又是第一次不在家里过年，她天天都打电话回家，谈的都是想家的心情和做妈妈的辛苦。

我想，可以回家过年，真好。

R在过年的第三天来拜访，我把鞭炮拿出来给他看，他竟然说‘鞭炮是这样的吗？’

哈哈，新加坡人可能一辈子也不知道鞭炮长什么样子。

可以回家过年，真好。

p/s 希望小Wilbert乖乖的不要给姐姐太多麻烦

春节的花

2009-01-22T02:15:00.000-08:00

R的妈妈没有在新加坡过年，却很有喜欢做新年的装饰。

最近用泥土填掉的小池塘变成了花圃，种（其实也不算种，花都是买来的）了不少花，很有春节的气氛。

Last but not least...这是我种的茄子，只结了一个果。哈哈...

Happy Chinese 牛 Year

2009-01-19T05:47:00.000-08:00

再过几天就是农历新年了。真的忙得差点忘了时间。忙工作，忙抱怨，忙看惨淡的市道。
今年的过年真的好冷。去逛街，去吃饭，都看不到很多的人群。
我不是一个很喜欢热闹的人，但是这种现象让人看了不尽让让觉得‘真的很糟’。

哎，写这么认真的东西好像不太像我的作风。语无伦次

在此希望大家暂时忘了这个不景气，好好的享受短短的假期和家人和朋友聚一聚。
农历新年快乐！

Freeze-ing COLD

2009-01-09T18:52:00.000-08:00

It came first thing in the morning when I went back to office for my annual reviews.
It was the first email in my inbox.
SALARY INCREMENT FREEZE.

WTH!!!! Totally demoralizing. Whole year of effort down the drain.
I didn't have any increment last year because I joined the group at Nov2007. They adjusted my pathetic pay slightly before new year 2008.
With this freeze-ing practise, it means I will have to see the same figures printed on my pay slip for another 12 months.

Anthony Kay Pong sent and email and said that he is glad he is still here. Of course he is happy. His one month pay is probably our whole year pay.
In some companies, the top management executives have volunteered to have pay cut. Why won't those Big XXXX in this company do the same thing???!!! Why you-know-who can still have her 'excluvie' fan on in this cold office environment and enjoy her good pay???!!!

Ok, maybe I should count my blessing because I still can keep my rice bowl while many people have lost their jobs in this downturn, but I AM JUST SO.... SO... P*....

病病病

2008-12-30T05:17:00.000-08:00

很久没有病这么久了。
自从为SY办了结束单身的派对之后，一直好像很忙，没有好好休息。
吃了几天的药，没有好起来，反而病的更加严重了。
今天医生开了特强的抗生素给我，迷迷糊糊睡了一天，才开始觉得稍微有一点起色。

吃药真的吃的怕了，希望我的身体争气一点，快快好起来吧~

2008-12-26T05:18:00.000-08:00

圣诞节的假日去买了两本旅行书。

原本想买华语的，但是站在书架前站得脚都累了，R也闷的走开了，还是没办法决定买哪一本。价钱太贵了，而且不能打开来看。薄薄的一本至少要二十块以上，实在买不下手。
选来选去，最后决定买日语的。
日语的价钱不但比较便宜，而且两本厚厚的，全部彩页，里面除了介绍景点，还有当地的食物，住宿，民俗，还附地图。资料还算蛮详细。

我想这两本书应该可以让我咀嚼一段时间吧。

人因梦想而伟大

2008-12-12T18:38:00.000-08:00

有梦想才有努力去实现的动力。

春天想回去东京曾经住过的中目黑，看お母さん说的 ‘路的两旁，目黑川河畔都开满樱花’的情景。

夏天想到北海道看麦田，马铃薯花，熏衣草，向日葵。

秋天想到京都看古都在红叶中燃烧。

冬天想看藤井树的故乡小樽，想看白雪覆盖的清水寺。

哈哈哈，考完试无所事事的我有很多时间做梦，但是就不知道能不能努力实现。

Soul Food

2008-12-09T23:49:00.000-08:00

一个无聊的晚上不小心在 OKTO 频道看了一部叫 Udon 的日本电影。没有看到开始，却忍不住一直看到结束。电影的情节和流程有一些“predictable”，却让我感动。

其中“Soul Food”这个主题最能引起我的共鸣。
每一个地方，每一个人，都有属于自己的“Soul Food”。
我想，对于很多古晋人来说， Kolo Mee 和古晋 Laksa 就是我们的“Soul Food”吧。

很多人说，嗅觉记忆是最长久，最根深蒂固的。也有人说过味觉记忆最能唤起人的情感。

“Soul Food”是一种融合了嗅觉和味觉记忆的东西。
当你嗅到了它的香味，难忘的回忆就会浮现在脑海中。
当你把它放在口里咀嚼，就会仿佛置身彼时彼地、彼情彼景。

食物其实就像人和事一样，每天在吃，不觉得它特别，远离了，才知道它可贵......

次は。。。。

2008-12-08T04:31:00.000-08:00

終わった。　とうとう終わった。合格できても、できなくても、今の私は無関心だ。。。ハハハ。。。

そう、次は何？

旅行。もちろん旅行だ。。。。
来年、日本へ行くことにした。
でも、日本のどこに行くか、まだ決めていない。
誰か、お勧め。。。

无题。。。

2008-10-17T06:57:00.000-07:00

这个星期心情起起落落的。

意外的收到朋友的父亲逝世的消息，让我一时没办法消化。　希望这个朋友和家人可以好好振作，好好过新的生活。

奶妈终于离开了动物庄园。少了大家长，接下来的日子，大家的信箱还会不会无时无刻都有新的邮件，新的话题？哎，让一切交给时间吧。

联合国洋人海盗船长说，奶妈走之后，属于他那一代的员工已经全部离开了。。。所以我想，现在选择在家里工作应该是最恰当的时候吧。

今天拿到了我的ｌａｐｔｏｐ，我也将远离这个多事的动物庄园。。。

F1 Outing

2008-10-01T05:25:00.000-07:00

R's bro Z was kind enough to gave us two tickets to the qualifying of the first F1 night race in history.

I have been watching F1 for many years but it's the first time I got so close to the race. It's quite a good experience though we could only watch the cars zoomed by, didn't know what's going on and had to watch the replay on TV at the end of the day.

No outside food allowed. So we bought this fried rice which costed a good S$8.

Ok, I don't know whether this is Nelson Piquet Junior or Fernando Alonso but at least I manage to catch one of the two Renault car which eventually won the Singapore GP 2008.

Some Updates...

2008-09-24T05:25:00.000-07:00

Latest from Animal Farm

Naima is finally leaving the farm after 7 years (or 8 years?) 'stink'. She will leave the Animal Farm next month. I hope she will like her new job and meet a more liberal boss. Congrats!

Angel is now the one and only initial conrad who remains in the farm. Now, it seems like she is trained to be 'dao qiang bu ru' bullet proof. She has learnt to take bad breathe from Hippo and fangs of Snake more easily. I hope she is not trying to hide her true feeling by acting this way. Take care!

Though it's a sad (and happy) news that Naima is leaving, everyone is kind of looking forward to meeting a new colleague, of course, if HE is a handsome guy. Ah... let's hope so...

月圆没有人团圆

2008-09-15T05:53:00.000-07:00

人说中秋是人月两团圆的日子，但是中秋夜，我在R的家吃饭，圆桌上只有我们两个人，屋子里静悄悄的。

R为了满足我的欲望，为我点了好几个灯笼，但是几盏小小的蜡烛温暖不了冷冷的气氛。

原来新加坡人爱买月饼，却不庆祝中秋节...

One more TRY... or One LAST ATTEMPT?

2008-08-30T07:05:00.000-07:00

I am going for Level 1 AGAIN this year.

I have less confident this year. I had more time to study last year but not this year. Work has been more stressful. I guess I won't have extra time to do revision in the office like before.

If I fail again this year, I really don't know whether I still have the passion or desire or motivation or intention or time or whatsoever to do it again.

It seems like there are so many things waiting for me to do. I want to get a driver's license, I want to learn some other things I really like (like painting, gardening), I want to save some money and go travel, travel and travel...

Last time, I nearly did it but a fail is a fail. I am not sure whether I will come that close this time.

Ah, anyway, I will just try my best...As for the rest... time will tell...

Oshiyawase ni~

2008-08-23T07:44:00.000-07:00

For the whole week after the Melaka trip, I was looking forward to Big Bro's ROM on 20/08/2008 (Wednesday).

Monday, I was down with high fever. When Big Bro sent me a reminder sms about his big day, I informed him that I was sick. He asked me to rest well cos he couldn't wed without me.

I knew he was just kidding when he said he couldn't wed without me, but it made me feel important.

When he decided to tie the knot with his girl friend, I was one of the first to know that. He invited me to be his witness. My signature would be on his marriage certificate!!!! I was so excited about this and I didn't want to miss the day myself!!!!

Thank god on Tuesday, the fever went down and on Wednesday, I was fit and conscious enough to witness him.

With my signature on the cert, I surely hope Big Bro and his WIFE will Live Happily Ever After. (and I know they will)

PS. Thursday, I returned to work, Friday, the fever came again...

My Motivation~

2008-08-14T07:52:00.000-07:00

这个八月很热闹。英超开始了，北京奥运也在如火如荼的进行。

这几天晚上我都在看游泳项目的重播，特别一定要看蛙泳项目，一定要看北岛康介。

我不是十几二十岁的少女，对于这个二十七的日本泳将，我并不迷恋，但是我却不想错过任何他的比赛。

在这个被西方人，尤其美国和费尔普斯称霸的‘水立方’，北岛康介这张东方脸让我不至于对游泳这个我最爱看的运动项目产生冷感。

刚刚看完了两次200米蛙泳的重播，北岛康介在这次京奥的比赛划上了完美的句点。

今晚之后我不知道还会不会盯着电视看其他比赛的重播。这样也好，我可以多睡一点了...

So Tired

2008-08-07T05:26:00.000-07:00

I'm going to Melaka for the weekend. Though it's only a two day trip and Melaka is just 2 or 3 hours away from Singapore, I am really looking forward to it. Actually I can't wait for it to come.

Though I have been working at least 9 hours per day for the last few weeks, work still keep piling up. I have given up playing catch up with the news.

I really need a break! I really need to get out of here!

Melaka, here i come~

巴黎印象

2008-07-27T07:19:00.000-07:00

Ah B搬到伦敦去工作。

我去伦敦找他时，他还没到过巴黎。

我离开伦敦，离开巴黎之后，他去了一趟巴黎。

后来‘大哥’去伦敦找Ah B，回来后问我对巴黎的印象。

‘大哥’告诉我Ah B说去了巴黎就会知道我们的国家有多可爱。巴黎脏，乱，没有人情味。浪漫之都是骗人的。

我只在巴黎待了24小时，脑海中的巴黎只有凯旋门，罗浮宫和巴黎铁塔。

还有这个。。。

巴黎市民是这样停车的。
在这里如果这样停车，我不知道后果会是怎样。。。

我没办法评论巴黎的好坏，因为24小时真的太短。我只能客观的说巴黎是一个历史丰富的城市。

或许我应该高兴我没有足够的时间看见巴黎的丑陋。我会记得看见巴黎铁塔的感动。。。

Aaarrrggghhhh~!!!

2008-07-25T08:13:00.000-07:00

I don't really have time to update my blog recently.
Have been working very hard. I wonder whether all the hard work will pay off at the end?

I have been asking this question again and again, but I still think it's worthy to write it down again. (To show my anger)
Why is that bilingual in Chinese and English so much inferior compared to bilingual in other languages like Korean and Chinese or Japanese and English?
We are all doing the same things (or maybe more than they are doing), but why are we being treated so differently?
Why is that people will just see a Chinese speaker, who can also speak Japanese, English, Malay, Cantonese, not as good as a native Japanese, Korean or English speaker?

Can somebody give me a good answer?

P/S I wanna write this in Chinese but this is R's PC and it doesn't have Chinese input set up.

爱情这玩意儿

2008-07-11T07:19:00.000-07:00

礼拜天参加了YP的婚礼。很高兴ROM这么多年了，她终于可以披上婚纱，漂漂亮亮的接受亲友的祝福。
当她在大胆的在台上大声说出她的爱的宣言时，我有一种快哭出来的感动。
好一个美丽的结合。

今天有一个朋友跟另一个朋友分手。我不知道他们是不是真的下定了最后决心，但是几年的感情，几天内说断就断，让我有点不敢相信。是不是我老了，跟不上年轻人的作风？
好一个让我措手不及的结果。

新闻说新加坡每年有超过20000人结婚，每天也有20对夫妇闹离婚。
在这个我一双关节炎萝卜腿赶不上的时代，男女间的感情是不是只是呼之则来，挥之则去的关系？

Welcome on Board~!

2008-07-04T07:51:00.000-07:00

Moon is coming over to join us at the 'so far so good' United Nations pirate ship (gosh... the name is so long).

I cannot roll red carpet to welcome her so this entry is for her.

So to Moon, I am so happy that you are finally going to take over China. China is so important so great you must treat it like it's the most precious thing on earth.

I hope you enjoy your new role and your new VIP window seat.

As for me, I think I can finally plan for a short break.

Thank you very much!

After me, Moon is yet another conrad from Animal Farm hopping over.

However, this is not the exciting part. What excited me is the turnover rates of Animal Farm. I suspect it hasn't reached its peak yet...

Whatever will be, will be...

2008-06-27T09:04:00.000-07:00

Captain C has left United Nations Pirate Ship to be with his Kawaii girl friend.
Captain C has always been a good leader and friend. He is dependable as a leader and fun to hang around with as friend. For 3 1/2 years, I don't remember seeing him throw his temper to anyone.
As a leader, he almost scored perfect.
Now that he's gone, everybody is feeling lost. The first day without him, I've already received messages from other crews telling me they miss him.

The ship is going to be headed by 大长今. So far she has been quite a nice and gentle person.
What worries us is the influence Obasan 长今 has on 大长今.

Are we going to be a 长今 colony, or we will continue to lead a happy life on board?
Let's wait and see..

天涯海角

好几年前看过一部香港电影叫“天涯海角”。患有血癌的女主角在人生的最后来到了“天涯海角”。看过这部电影的人或许跟当时的我一样很想去一趟“天涯海角”。幻想那是一件多么浪漫的事。
有多少人会记得年少时许下的无数痴狂的梦？
前几天读了杂志-姐妹才知道原来剧中的“天涯海角”就是苏格兰的Isle of Skye。
我到了Skye却不知道自己就在“天涯海角”…

P/S 即使没有电影，Skye也绝对是一个令人陶醉的小岛…

My Long Vacation - Part II

2008-06-06T08:45:00.000-07:00

Ok, after almost 1/2 month, here I am again to share something to you about my journey to Europe.

The weather wasn't very good when we were in Scotland. It was all rain for the first two days. On the third day morning, my mood was as gloomy as the weather when our B&B host told us that according to weather forecast, the weather wouldn't get any better. However, I guess lady luck just wouldn't want us to miss the beauty of Skye. When we came out from Dunvegan Castle, the sun was warm and the sky was clear.

This is one of my favourite views throughout the journey. Loch Dunvegan, where Dunvegan Castle stands.

The weather forecast was wrong for the day we were in Skye but was quite right for the rest of our journey in Scotland.

This is the view of Royal Mile, Edinburgh from the window of Starbucks cafe. We were all wet on our way up to Edinburgh Castle dued to heavy rain we decided to get a cup of hot coffee/tea at Starbuck after the visit to the castle, and at the meantime tried to get our clothes and shoes dried.

Good Luck!

2008-06-04T06:37:00.000-07:00

It seems like some changes are going to take place in the Animal Farm. For better or worse, I just hope that my conrads working in the farm will be able to think smart and make good decisions.
Good Luck!

Bad Day

2008-06-04T05:55:00.000-07:00

Miss Bong, Koon and I travelled to KL for PS's wedding. It started with big bus and lorry jam at Tuas and ended with long wait at Puduraya.

The return journey was especially horrible. Puduraya doesn't seem to change a bit ever since don't know how many decades ago. It's still hot, crowded and smoker friendly.

We bought the 2:30 pm tickets but waited for 1.5 hours before the bus finally showed up.

Just look at Miss Bong's face (if you can find her) and you will know how we felt...

The worst's yet to come. When we boarded the bus, someone else had taken our seats. Apparently the bus company oversold the tickets. It again took us some time to bring the lady who sold us the tickets to the bus and negotiate with the bus driver to let us have our seats we so well deserved after the long wait. Finally, we got our seats. But the oil leaking from the top of the bus worried us. The driver couldn't explain the oil, nor could he get rid of the oil. It just kept leaking and we just kept sucking in smelly air and thinking what might happen to the bus, and us. (I know it's silly)
Of course we reached Singapore safely but I don't think I will wanna travel to by bus anymore.

There's good thing though. I bought this cute pants from a very helpful Thai, and I am so glad that R san likes it. Hehe...

My Long Vacation

2008-05-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

The first day I reached Scotland, I felt so sick I thought I might have to come back to Singapore the next day. However, the 17 days flies, fying, flew, flown and I have already back for one week. I have I can share with everyone all my experiences but I don't think there is any where I can load 10 GBs of photo.

This is one of the most expensive meal I had in Scotland. The restaurant is just beside Loch Fyne http://www.lochfyne.com/. We were on our way to Glencoe but took a wrong turn and end up here. The crab soup was so so so creamy and rich... yum....

This is view of Loch Evite and Glen Etive at the end of the road after almost one hour drive with don't know how many twists and turns.

This is view from main road toward the B&B we stayed in Isle of Skye, and Loch Greshornish which I faced first thing in the morning and last thing at night.

The sun rises as early as 5AM and sets only around 9:30PM. R and I would be sitting near our room's window, organising our trip the next day while waiting for the sun to set....

This is view of mysterious Loch Ness and ruin of Urquhart Castle. Though I didn't have the luck to meet with Nessie, the perfect views of bluish Loch Ness from every corner of the castle just made the short trip equally fulfilling.

TO BE CONTINUE....

Spring~~

2008-04-19T06:52:00.000-07:00

Spring is a season to do housekeeping. See what R found in his ear. The photo might be a bit blur, but take a close look, it's a carcass of an ant.

Spring is a season to loves. See what I've captured outside my window. Two lovey dovey pigeon. They really "do the do" after I have taken this photo. Too bad I didn't manage to catch them in action. My camera was too slow and their actions were just too fast.

Spring is a season to get out of Singapore. Let me see... Raf has already flown to Paris. I am leaving coming wednesday. Asoh and her L Theory will be heading to Taiwan right after me. And Big Bro and Samuel will be visitng Japan soon after I return.
So who else?

Caribbean, anyone?

2008-04-08T05:53:00.000-07:00

What come into your mind when you hear 'Caribbean'? Beautiful beaches, colorful people and never ending parties.

I have been dealing with Caribbean countries since last week. I didn't go anywhere near Caribbean. No sunshine, no sea breeze. There're only heavy rain outside, dull computer in front and lots of lots of names, years, images etc...

Today, everything has finally come to an end.

Though I know it will come back to haunt me again in near future, I am so glad that I can throw the Caribbean away now and dream about northern hemisphere.

我要放假去了！！！

2008-03-16T23:48:00.001-07:00

最后的结果终于出炉了。我将在下个月暂时逃离这个繁忙的都市，去寻找童话里的城堡。

大学之后就没有像这样放自己这么长的假了。很期待这一次的旅行，但是接下来的几个星期真的需要花多一点的时间好好计划一番。

在旅行之前学校还要考试...哎...做什么事情都是要先苦后甜的好...

Updates...

2008-03-10T03:21:00.001-07:00

It has been quite a while since I last updated my blog.

My mobile N80 with 'acceptably good' camera was spoilt. Now I just cannot take or load any picture. I hate my blog entry without pictures.

Many things happened last weekend.
Malaysia ppositions claim poll win in five states.
Rio Ferdinand played goalkeeper in FA cup against Portsmouth.
I become owner of a semi pro camera.

微震

2008-02-27T02:23:00.000-08:00

印尼地震频频，动物园也发生了微震。还好现在一切都回归平静。
希望当事人下次不要再那么冲动了。忍一时风平浪静，退一步海阔天空。阿弥陀佛~~

但是不得不佩服你可以用这种口气和脸色对待它们，有你的！HAHAHAHA

告别长发

2008-02-19T16:38:00.000-08:00

剪剪剪，剪掉了三千烦恼丝。

大学毕业后第一次把头发剪得这么短。

虽然暂时还有些不习惯后脑勺空空冷冷的，但是自己还蛮喜欢现在的发型的。很庆幸大家对于我的新形象也有蛮正面的反应。（阿弥托佛）

感谢PP每次当我对自己的头发束手无撤的时候，都可以剪出让我满意的发型。

又是钓鱼...

2008-02-01T01:12:00.000-08:00

这次去Tuas正在进行填海的地方钓鱼。
那是一个很不错的地方，没有四轮驱动车可能没办法到达。
因为填海的关系，沙滩很白，水很清，人几乎没有，鱼也很容易上钩。

一路尘沙滚滚

海水清清

遥望北极圈

2008-01-28T01:58:00.000-08:00

PL说无锡下雪了。我可以感受她兴奋的心情。
我在纽西兰也看过雪。但是那是雪崩的雪。只能够在车里看却不能碰。因为车子必须在发生下一个雪崩之前开离危险地带。
在日本的时候也看过飘雪。但是因为温度不够低，雪花在落到地上前已经变成了水。
冰天雪地到底是怎么样的一种感觉？

小时候总是有很多愿望，而这些愿望都随着我长大而消失，改变。
但是到极地的愿望，这么多年来一直没有改变。

很多认识我的人都不能明白为什么我这么向往那种恶劣的环境。
零度以下，所有东西都结冰，寒风刺骨。这是我想感受的天气。

我很喜欢阿拉斯加，挪威，芬兰这些国家。那里可以看到峡湾和冰山，还有我最爱的鲸鱼和北极光。
小时候念了一篇关于鲸鱼唱歌的文章，从次就爱上了鲸鱼。
然后中学时候读了刘庸一篇关于在飞机上看到北极光的情景，从次就迷上了北极光。

很希望将来真的有那么一天，我穿着厚厚的寒衣，听着鲸鱼歌唱，看着北极的精灵在夜空中游戏...

Power of Rare Male Species

2008-01-22T01:50:00.000-08:00

Someone is on MSN and dozing off in front of his work station.

No complain, no warning letter.... Have the animals transformed into gentler species after so many resignations they are going to let workers in animal farm do whatever they want? Or it's just another proof of 'Opposite Attracts'?

动物庄园在纽约

2008-01-10T01:22:00.000-08:00

不知道还有没有人在乎我走了之后动物庄园有了什么新发展。

来了两个新人，一男一女。女的没什么可以题的。男的就不一样了。
他为两只动物带来了活力。
纽约仔毕业自顶尖的中学和大学（不是在纽约）又是一个男生，河马和蛇爱死他了。
河马变得偶尔幽默偶尔温柔，但是可能不是对每个人。而蛇呢，更是对他循循善诱，孜孜不倦，教导有方，忍辱负重。旁观者看来是有点受不了，但是这三个人（动物）好像很乐在其中。
或许园里有个男生在是好的。动物的注意力都放在他身上，这样其他人就可以稍微歇一歇。但是看来纽约仔不是个泛泛之辈。他可能会进化成河马和蛇之后的另一只动物。

我的同志们，希望你们多加防备，好好关照彼此。保重！

羊咩咩好介绍 - 古晋干捞面

2008-01-02T23:51:00.000-08:00

上次介绍了古晋Laksa 这回要介绍古晋干捞面。

我想很多人都知道古晋干捞面。因为这一两年来，有一间打着古晋干捞面名号的面店在这小小的岛屿开了不少的分店。我曾经光顾过该店两次，第一次是它刚开店的时候，第二次是找不到吃的所不得已。羊咩咩本人觉得该店的干捞面味道不够好，价钱也偏高了一点，所以领教了两次已经不敢恭维了。

我在新加坡试吃过一些所谓的古晋干捞面，也常常和朋友交换情报。

到目前为止最让我最满意的是位于Jurong East 的这家面店。

古晋干捞面的面条颜色比一般的面淡，而配料一定要有叉烧和蔬菜，辣椒一定要是红辣椒，偶尔也可以要求加一点叉烧油。

这家店还有卖古晋Laksa ，最近也带来了古晋 Mee Pok。

我在古晋吃过更多更好吃的干捞面，但是这间店的面是我在这岛国可以找到的，最接近家乡的味道。

New Journeys...

2008-01-02T05:58:00.000-08:00

Between Chirstmas day and New Year, PS got married and SH gave birth to a baby boy.

PS and SH are my university friends.

There are so many memorable moments that we shared together.

Eussof Hall and Extension Hall A

We stayed up many nights just to play Yahoo word games. We had 'Big Bowl Rice' created by PS as dinner. I knocked on PS's door in the middle of the night after a ghost story session with other hall mates. ..

In a small rented room at Clementi

There were again so many sleepless nights during exam period when we got addicted to Bridge card game. SH liked to sleep early so I had to use torch light or table lamp to do my bed time reading.

It's still like yesterday that three of us stayed under one roof.

Now both of them have become wives and mother. This is life and every moment is worth celebrating.

Congratulations, my friends. I always love you.

钓鱼乐

2007-12-27T22:54:00.000-08:00

联合国的洋头目要写一段对我的介绍，于是向我要了一张照片。我给了他一张几年前在Perhentian Island拍的照片，他觉得照片里的我像个小孩，所以我又给了他一张最近去奎笼钓鱼的照片。然后他要我告诉他一些关于我比如爱好之类的事好让介绍有趣些。我想了很久就是不知道自己的兴趣是什么。于是他自作主张依照照片写了‘钓鱼’。

其实说我喜欢钓鱼应该也不足为过。

我第一次拿着'标准'的鱼竿钓鱼是在去奎笼的时候。我觉得钓鱼是一个还蛮不错的休闲活动。放鱼饵，找一个好地点，放线，当然还有有鱼上钓时的收线，每一个动作都需要细心和耐性。

不久前我和R临时动议，在雨后的午后到克兰芝蓄水池钓鱼。那又是一种不同的体验。因为我们钓的是躲在石头低下的笋壳。钓笋壳不需要抛线只要在水浅又有石头的地方碰运气。

It sure is a blessing to have someone who can and is willing to cook at home.

It's the first Christmas dinner that I had with R's family.
R's brother is a cook. See what he had prepared for the dinner... *yum yum*

A roasted chicken, with corns, vegetable and seafood.

Mashed potato, pizza and broccoli soup.

Welcome to 'United Nations'

2007-12-19T06:46:00.000-08:00

I've left the Animal Farm and become a member of a mini United Nations. The United Nations has only six members but it's amazing that every single one of us has very different background. Our leader is a British, and the team members are two Malays, one Korean, one Indian, and me, a Chinese.

I've moved away from the spyder woman (who is also called the Hippo) and put away the rear mirror. Now I am having a window seat with a bird's eye view of Centre Business District. Whenever I look out of the windows, I imagine myself overseeing skyline of Manhattan.

I've only been in the job for three days but I've already started getting hands on live database. The job is not as easy as it seems to be. I haven't been able to surf net or read non work related news for the last three days. However, I feel fresh and energized. I am enjoying the tranquil working environment and the best thing is, there is no more fangs and bad breath.
May this good feeling last..

给我大红花

2007-12-11T23:12:00.000-08:00

昨晚和R一起看东南亚运动会的电视转播。节目的最后是奖牌的荣誉榜。形式是这样的:东道主泰国高居榜首, 新加坡第三, 马来西亚第四。我指着排行榜对R说,"马来西亚一定会超越新加坡的。" 于是R连续问了我三次,"你要支持新加坡还是马来西亚？" 而我的答案三次都一样 - 马来西亚。他有一点不服气, 坐到另外一边去不理我。

我是马来西亚人。马来西亚是我的故乡。无论它变成怎样, 无论我身在哪里, 它永远是我最爱的地方。它是我出生、成长的地方。那里有我爱, 和爱我的。

中学的时候有一个跟我同姓的老师总是要我们阅读华文课本里一篇叫《失根的兰花》的文章。今天早上我因为昨晚的事而突然想起了这篇文章, 然后在网上找到了它, 把它再读了一遍, 才发现它的美丽。中学时对它没什么感觉,读过就算了。现在身在异乡才深深感受到作者那份思乡的情感。

在此把《失根的兰花》送给那些和我一样身在异乡很多年却不能完全融入异地生活,依然坚持自己身份的朋友...

谢幕曲

2007-12-10T19:01:00.001-08:00

对面的草会比较绿吗？

我即将离开动物庄园, 加入另外一个4公尺以外（是的,只有4公尺以外）的新团队。
我不可以预知搬过去之后会不会开心, 但是我知道至少那会是一个新的开始, 新的希望。从表面看来新的管理员不是一只冷血的河马, 而新的环境应该也没有毒蛇。

我走了之后, 动物庄园里除了河马和蛇以外, 最初的5个员工现在就只剩下奶妈一个人了。
这差不多4年的时间里, 我看到大家带这带着笑容和希望离开, 并且在外面有了很好的发展, 我想我也应该不要对这里有所留恋。
我只是搬到4公尺以外...

如果我有什么舍不得, 应该就是一起从事革命的大家了。
这4年里要不是大家互相鼓励和支持, 我们早就被一大堆沉闷的工作和冷言冷语给淹没。但是我也不应该舍不得。
我只是搬到4公尺以外...

再见 expecting 'a' found 'c' unrecognised provider tag <<<>>>
再见 Hangover
再见 FM Request RIC ADD Request
再见 KILL KILL KILL

Good morning, Charlie.
Good morning, Angel.

让我来分享一个关于小强的故事...

2007-12-04T23:03:00.000-08:00

前几天拿了假陪来新加坡看我的姐姐和妈妈。

星期日, 我去参加考试, 姐姐约了生意上的朋友吃饭。吃饭的地点是THE CENTRAL的某餐厅。
此餐厅名声还蛮响, 所以以为她和朋友一定可以大饱口福。

这顿饭的确让他们难忘...

话说姐姐的朋友几乎点了菜单里所有的点心, 把餐桌都挤得满满的, 可想而知他对该餐厅的食物相当有信心, 想把每一样都介绍给姐姐。
当姐姐准备品尝她最喜欢的凤爪时, 惊见蒸笼旁躺着一具蟑螂的尸体。
餐厅的负责人不但没有给予合理的解释和道歉,还暗示他们点了太多根本吃不下的食物。
姐姐的朋友要求打折, 负责人坚称公司从不给客人折扣, 只能送免费的饮料, 要不就让他们免费成为会员。
我的天, 试问遇到了这种事, 有谁还会想成为他们的会员???!!!!
姐姐和朋友忍气吞声, 草草结束这一顿饭。

我想如果是我的话, 应该会当场为这只蟑螂拍一张玉照, 然后放在这里供大家'欣赏'。
而如果是R的话, 应该会把它的玉照直接送到卫生属,让有关当局来处理这件事。

最近某面包连锁店的巧克力蛋糕造成100多个人食物中毒, 被卫生当局下令停止生产。希望此某餐厅可以好自为知, 不要再让蟑螂等害虫在厨房里觅食、做窝或筑墓。

阿弥陀佛...

THREE down, ONE to go

2007-11-20T19:02:00.000-08:00

断断续续读了3个月的书终于只剩下一张最重要的试卷了。
如果这一次可以顺利过关的话, 它很可能就是我这一生中最后的试卷（当然不包括驾驶执照测验）。
日语当然还是会继续念,即使考不上明年得从新再来, 也希望不要像现在这样学校、工作两头忙了。

学习语言是一条无止境的路。不但要有兴趣, 还要持之以恒。
这么多年了, 我对于自己的能力还是不是很有信心。
平时上课交作文作业我为了写一篇好的文章, 总是需要花时间找资料、做研究。而这么多年来每次考作文, 都觉得自己写得乱七八糟, 词不达意。即使最后成绩还相当不错, 但是还是不能让我信服。
前天考作文,面对陌生的作文题目, 我竟可以流畅的用日语思考、打稿, 并在指定的时间内完成。对于这样的自己, 我第一次觉得还不赖。不管成绩会是怎样, 我想至少在这过程中, 我找到了一点自信。

有时候考试也不见得是一件坏事。

やばい

2007-11-11T18:57:00.000-08:00

Now it's time to suffer.
I am running out of time and I really believe I will fail.
What I can do now is to study and absorb as much as I can...

A (Fake) Tai Tai's Afternoon at Raffles Hotel Shopping Arcade

2007-11-05T19:05:00.000-08:00

One day after my birthday, R and I went Raffles Hotel Shopping Arcade to get something. Normally I don't go to the place. I think it belongs to the high society. So I think I get a taste of being a Tai Tai when we went there...(shallow thoughts again. Sigh, forgive me...)

Shopping

Afternoon Tea

Do you think a Tai Tai's afternoon will be like what I have experienced?

I don't know. So tell me more if you are a real Tai Tai.

羊咩咩好介绍 - 古晋Laksa

2007-11-01T20:26:00.000-07:00

PL第一次来新加坡。大家把整周末都奉献给了她。
为了她我们还真的费了不少心血。其中最大的工程是煮古晋Laksa。
从大头早上醒来搭车、到我家附近买材料到吃饱、洗碗、清理, 整整花了12个小时。
我想功劳最大的应该是大头吧。 Laksa从头到为都是她一个人在煮, 煮好了还要接受大家的批评。哈哈哈...但是有批评才有进步嘛。所以希望她下一次可以煮得更好吃一点。

抱歉, 这次我要写的不是PL, 也不是大头, 是古晋Laksa。
我想我的一些朋友们应该没有见识过古晋Laksa, 所以在这里给各位来一个简单的看图说故事。
不同于槟城Laksa和新加坡Laksa, 古晋LAKSA用的不是粗米粉而是细米粉。其他的材料还有豆芽、鸡蛋、芹菜、虾、鸡肉。
这些材料都不足为奇。古晋Laksa的真正魅力在于它的汤。
不喜欢Belacan的人可能会觉得它臭, 但是对于我们来说, 它是故乡的味道。

P/S & P/S 黄老师对不起, 我想我的看图说故事应该不及格吧...

ありがたい。。。

2007-10-29T22:30:00.001-07:00

你不用七点上班,但是为了载我,你也跟我一样五点多就起床。
虽然说了很多次谢谢,但是还是要说,
谢谢你！

给我的朋友们

很感动你们给我这个惊喜。这么多年了, 你们始终记得...

晓H, 黄老师, 郭心理咨询师, 吴记者, 有你们这班朋友我觉得很幸福。
谢谢你们！

奎笼一夜

2007-10-24T20:29:00.000-07:00

和R还有他的亲朋好友和另外一百多个人在海上生活了两天。决定要去之后我问R,奎笼是不是像学校宿舍一样只有开放式的床位, 他说是,我有点后悔答应要去。

Kelong Sibu Island 是一个非常接近Sibu Island Resort 的海上奎笼。我们从新加坡出发, 花了大概3小时才抵达Tanjung Leman码头。

去Tanjong Leman的路上风景有点像纽西兰。

到了码头, 由于是开斋节假日,所以只能用人山人海来形容。

R的舅舅告诉我们有超过一百个人将跟我们'共享'一个奎笼。真是他XX的, 我喜欢热闹但是不喜欢这样跟一百多个人睡在一起。

我们的钓具

我们并没有在码头等很久, 船就来了。上了船倒是等了好就才等到正式开船。因为船开离码头不久又得倒回去载一些迟到的客人。就这样来来回回了好几趟才终于等到码头消失在水平线上。我个人觉得迟到的人应该对自己的行为负责,船家不应该姑息养奸!

奎笼我来了。

到了奎笼果真如我所想象, 这是我们的床。

这是厕所, 大小便都直接回归自然,吃进鱼的肚子里。厕所附近的鱼特别多, 特别肥美...

在奎笼很容易就钓到鱼, 所以无论多没耐性, 多讨厌钓鱼的人都可以钓到十条八条。
我这个耐心十足又超级无聊的人当然钓了不少, 还可以把钓到的鱼送给其他的人。

看吧,有时候一次可以钓到好几条鱼

整晚钓不到一只小管(Sotong)。这是R的弟弟把鱼钩抛向浮出水面的小管硬'钩'上来的唯一一只。

在奎笼上除了钓鱼还有其他的娱乐如卡拉OK-让每个人都听见你甜蜜的歌声, 麻将-我不会打。
所以我一抵达就开始钓鱼, 从白天钓到黑夜, 从黑夜钓到白天, 再钓到离开。

黎明破晓, 大家又开始钓鱼。

离开的时候除了带走一箱回到新加坡之后都送给人的鱼, 还有晒焦的皮肤..

美人配'焦'肩

回程途中在新山面向新加坡的一间海鲜馆吃晚餐。

泥沼岸外可以看到拾蛤贝的渔人。

回来后病了好几天。先是肠胃不舒服, 再来是发高烧。医生把一切怪罪在奎笼上...

羊咩咩的午餐好介绍

2007-10-23T22:22:00.000-07:00

因为河马对我们的不信任,每次午餐都只能速战速决, 造成大家有消化不良的问题。

庆幸的是公司附近还可以找到味道不错服务又不慢的食阁。

经大头介绍知道了这个专卖西餐的地方。名字我不清楚, 但是只要你知道新加坡华乐团的所在,你就可以找到它。它就在新加坡华乐团旁边。

前几天跟R一起order了河粉, 吃起来并不是很满足。今天我们分别叫了Roast Chicken Breast 和Lamb Combo。

由于Roast Chicken Breast是鸡胸肉的关系, 有点硬, 但是卖相却很好。

R的Lamb Combo就很不错了。羊肉没有什么羊膻味而且全套有羊肉、炸鸡排和香肠, 绝对可以吃到饱。

食物的价钱介于S$4到S$7。动物庄园里我可爱的同志们, 这地方离我们的庄园不远, 走路十分钟内可到, 厨师的手脚也快, 下次去试试看吧。

New Family Member

2007-10-21T16:37:00.000-07:00

这就是Oliver。

恭喜二姐。希望你好好休息,赶快恢复元气。希望小Oliver可以健康成长。

Angkasawan Malaysia

2007-10-18T01:19:00.000-07:00

Have been reading news about Malaysian astronaut going into space. Didn't really care to know more about astronaut until I saw this on MSN News.

I don't know how an astronaut should look like. Before this, I only know three persons in astronaut outfit.

1.Neil Armstrong

2.Tom Hanks in Apollo 13

3.Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story

I think 35 years old Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor is definitely the gorgeous ones.

I am not in Malaysia so I can't feel how hot he is in Malaysia but I am sure many girls will wanna go after him when he return to earth (though he's attached). He is definitely champion of Malaysia Idol - Space Series now.

I don't want you all to think I am shallow after reading this.

What I really want to say is that no matter he is just a spaceflight participant or a real astronaut, He's definitely pride of Malaysia. I hope Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor's research on space will have a new breakthrough and help people not just in Malaysia but all around the world.

花仙子出走!!!

2007-10-10T22:40:00.000-07:00

事情发生的有一点突然, 但是也不是毫无预警。
有一点舍不得, 但是还是要替你感到高兴。
有一点羡慕, 但是还是要继续努力寻找自己的出路。

不管是为了什么, 可以离开动物庄园应该都不会是一件坏事。
不管未来怎么样, 相信我们还会是互相关心的朋友。

希望你的前方是一路康庄大道。

恭喜你革命成功!

*日本漫画里的花仙子是这个样子的...你努力吧...

Am I a Slacker????

2007-10-08T23:39:00.000-07:00

R said I am becoming very lazy. The Test is around the corner but I am still hanging around, shaking my legs. R wants me to pass the test so I won't have to study for another year next year. But I know myself best. Er...even the teacher said it's going to be very tough. I know I will probably fail and will be surprised if I pass. So it's not that I don't wanna study hard. I just wanna take it easy so I won't feel disappointed when the result comes out...

我怀念的...

2007-10-04T19:02:00.000-07:00

曾经有一个朋友告诉我如果你很怀念从前的生活就表示你现在过得不好。

从前在大学的时候总是很怀念中学的日子。现在出来社会工作,竟也怀念起大学的生活了。难得我的日子越变越糟了吗？

最近玩上Facebook。想起什么人就会上去乱找。无聊时就会绞尽脑汁想出一些朋友的名字随意搜索。

无聊的搜索让我想起了AMCISA(留新大马独中生联谊会)。

到AMCISA 的网站看到现在的会员们年轻、灿烂的笑脸,真的觉得他们很幸福。尤其看到国大（NUS）的AMCISA有了正规的迎新营,还有口号、常年活动,真的真的感触良多。

不知道他们知不知道国大AMCISA是多少前辈经历多少血汗才成就了它今天的茁壮？知不知道从前的国大AMCISA总是让人觉得不成气候？知不知道是从前国大AMCISA的很多活动都是在不被校方允许、偷偷摸摸的情况下进行的？知不知道当年有几个傻瓜'白手'筹备了第一届的国大迎新营？

伟光、珊珊、素晶、思康、家顺、还有很多样貌还记得, 名字却已经忘记的朋友, 这一些你们都还记得吗？

我脱离了AMCISA很久很久, 但是总是会怀念当时大家在以前办活动的革命情感。很骄傲我们曾经傻乎乎的决定一定要把迎新营搞起来。

感谢大家在我平淡的大学生活画上这一道七彩的绚丽。

我的日子应该没有过得越来越糟,只是我常常会想起曾经进走入我生活的每一个人...

末了,我怀念的...

你对他的称赞还言犹在耳, 怎么现在却来个大风吹, 把他骂的一文不值, 连他的国家、文化、和性别也一并数落？

当初有一个国籍、背景、性别都符合你要求的, 你却不挽留, 草率(还很得意的)找一个外援来顶替, 现在搞成这样你把罪都推给了文化和性别差异？

动物庄园现在堆满了屎和粪果然又要我扮演廉价挑粪夫来清理。你认为我不够格, 我也认了。既然这样为什么还要一次又一次叫我做这么'高级'的工作？

有能力的人不会留在这里, 我自认是只无才又温驯的羊, 只会任由你使唤, 只敢在这里唠唠叨叨。如果有一天我的Power升级, 长出角来, 我会离开, 不为别的, 只为我受够了你的河马眼看人低。

祝福我吧...

小人物的心声

也许我自己　不能发出万丈光和亮　但我能为斗室带来足够的光芒
也许我一个人　不能成就一番大事业　让我尽力贡献一份微薄的力量
我从来就不在乎　自己不是一个大人物　因为平凡也是一种幸福
看到名人总是忙忙碌碌　我的时间由我控制　平凡日子一样会充实

You've got mail

2007-10-02T20:05:00.000-07:00

前几天动物庄园的玛维斯小妹妹替我登录Facebook。几天后有一个来自纽西兰的陌生人留言给我, 问我是不是他很久以前的朋友。我望着他放在网上的照片看了好久、好久, 终于把他想起来。
他是一个初中时曾经同班, 但不是很熟的朋友。后来他全家移民纽西兰, 然后就再也没有他的消息。
很惊讶他还记得我。
更可怕的是, 我和他在那一天通过邮件所说的话,竟比跟他同班的那几年还要多。
这就是网络虚拟世界的魅力吧。大家不需要面对面, 反而更能放松自在的说话。
难怪郭辅导员可以通过网络找到未来的另一半。
但是网络世界毕竟是高深莫测、危机四伏的, 郭姐姐有练过, 小朋友还是不要学的好...

Saw these two things on Sunday.

Pasir Ris Farm Way – abandoned Car
A new Mercedez Benz crashed into retaining wall and was abandoned. Car owner's nowhere to be seen.

Seletar Reservoir - abandoned rabbits
Four rabbits, three black and one grey, hopping around the bush.
They are not afraid of getting close to human beings so I don’t think they are wild rabbits. Some 没良心 owner must have abandoned them there.

谢谢黄老师和郭辅导员（暂时只能这样称呼你,但是相信不久就可以提升为医生了吧。）还有郭辅导员的男朋友赏脸到我家吃饭。虽然有一个大肚婆和一个加班记者不能来,但是她们总是在我们的话题里。

和你们在一起总是很自在。我想是因为我们曾经同枕供眠过吧...*笑*

谢谢你们为我寂静的家带来欢笑和吵闹。

郭辅导员,我想,我们的 KL 的之旅将会是我们永远的话题。无论我们走过多少个国家, 那次的旅行应该还会是终身难忘...

黄老师,学生的功课和成绩固然重要, 自己的健康也不能掉以轻心。有空把以前曾经稍微瘦下来时拍的沙龙照拿出来看看, 激励自己吧。

再再一次谢谢你们...借用许'粒'桦昨晚的对白 ' 因为你们是我的好朋友,这是不能改变的事实 ' ????!!!! 好一句文不对题、话不对戏...

月到中秋

2007-09-24T19:51:00.000-07:00

已经9年没有在家里过中秋了。9年了...我记忆里的中秋只停留在18岁以前...

旧家的篱笆、树上挂满了灯笼, 爸爸把小桌子拿到屋外, 妈妈把切好的月饼放在小桌子上, 我们几个小孩子忙点灯笼,爸妈隔着篱笆跟邻居的叔叔谈天...

9年来9个中秋都好像平时一样读书、工作、吃饭、打电话回家、睡觉。

不知道在古晋的家人还有没有像以前一样庆祝中秋？现在住的排无地方狭小, 应该不能够挂灯笼了吧？

中秋节快乐愿大家平安

I always recommand Tanpopo whenever someone wanna have Japanese food.

R and I go Tanpopo at least once a month. It's our favourite restaurant.

Tanpopo advertises itself as Pork Cutlet Specialist (とんかつ専門店). However, other dishes like Sashimi, Sushi, Donburi Mono, Yakimono can be even tastier than the cutlet (because I don't usually take fried food).

R loves Ramen. We have visited many Ramen Ya recommanded by newspaper or tv programmes but Tanpopo's Ramen is still R's favourite. Authentic Ramens are always quite salty with strong miso, shio or shoyu base but Tanpopo's Ramens are just right for locals.

R especially likes Black Pig Shabu Ramen （黒豚しゃぶラーメン）.

Black Pig Shabu Ramen has black pork bone as soup base, and is served with shabu pork slices and chili powder. It would be even better to have it with...

Chilled Char Siew

Tasty Egg

yohoho... and a mouthful of sins

Tanpopo is situated at the basement of Liang Court, beside Meidiya supermarket.Black Pig Shabu Ramen costs S$13.80. Choices of Mini Ramen cost less than S$10.

莫帅下课

2007-09-20T20:28:00.000-07:00

他除了嘴贱、高傲、自大、死不认错、死不认输之外, 也算是一个不错的经理。毕竟,他曾经率领波尔图队奇迹般夺得欧冠联赛冠军，也在三年内协助切尔西二夺英超联赛冠军。
看看英超开季以来切尔西的成绩, 三胜二和一负, 跟曼联也没什么两样。如果因为成绩不尽人意而遭受革职, 那么费Sir不也要被炒鱿鱼了？阿弥陀佛
没有了和任何人都可以吵成一团的他,英超应该会变得比较安静一点。这也可能是英超球员、球迷、记者会想念他的原因吧！
没有舍不得他, 毕竟他也不过只待了三年。有没有他,我都希望曼联可以夺冠。

Party Time!!!

想婚想昏

星期六去参加朋友的House warming。出席的都是中学时候的朋友。可怕的是除了包括我在内的三个人, 其他的都已经结婚、买车、买屋。已婚的P一边鼓励大家结婚, 一边问还是单身的我们什么时候结婚。然后, 其他两个单身汉也跟着宣布有结婚的打算。奇怪, 这年头这么流行结婚吗？到了我们这个年龄不结婚就是赶不上潮流, 落在别人的后头了吗？两个人适不适合结婚并不是周围的人可以决定的。如果因为外在的压力而冲动的结婚, 婚后不幸福难得外人也可以帮你承担或让你变得幸福吗？

我不是嫉妒别人结婚, 也不是抱不婚主义, 只是觉得结婚应该是非常个人的, 不应该一窝蜂的有样学样。

朋友, 你真的准备好了吗？

Red Alert

2007-09-17T01:17:00.000-07:00

I remember some ten years ago when I attended a camp at Matang Wildlife Centre, an instructor told us his real life experience.

A European friend of him visited Sarawak and was furious after a few days stay. This is what he told him, "I expected to see Hornbills flying around but so far I've seen none. How can this place be called 'The Land of The Hornbills' if I can see no hornbill?"

It's ashame.

I had never seen a Hornbill flying myself until I went to Pangkor Island. Pangkor is a fishing island off the coast of Perak, not Sawarak.

The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species for 2007 was released last week.

I read about this from BBC News

................................................................................

Gorillas, orangutans, and corals are among the plants and animals which are sliding closer to extinction.

................................................................................

The Sumatran orangutan was already Critically Endangered before this assessment, with numbers having fallen by 80% in the last 75 years.

But IUCN has identified new threats to the 7,300 individuals that remain. Forests are being cleared for palm oil plantations, and habitat is being split up by the building of new roads.
In Borneo, home to the second orangutan species, palm oil plantations have expanded 10-fold in a decade, and now take up 27,000 sq km of the island. Illegal logging reduces habitat still further, while another threat comes from hunting for food and the illegal international pet trade.

So fragmented have some parts of the Bornean forest become that some isolated orangutan populations now number less than 50 individuals, which IUCN notes are "apparently not viable in the long term".

................................................................................

Orang Utan, like the Hornbills, is one of the icons of Borneo. For those who've grown up in Borneo, this human like animal is one of the things that's close to our heart. Er...at least this is what I think. It's sad to know that Orang Utan is one of the top on the Red List again. WWF-UK even predicted it to be extincted in 20 years time. If it's to become truth and i am fortunate enough to live longer, When I am still alive, Orang Utan might be gone forever.

I am not a environmentalist nor do my voices significant. I just hope that more people can do little more something so our future generations will still get to enjoy what we are having now...

when the buying stops, the killing can too

*Hm.... hippo is on the Red List too. I sure hope the hippo in Animal Farm can set itself free into the wild and reproduce.

搬入新屋一个星期,发现邻居的昙花已含苞待放。
星期五我告诉R关于'昙花一现'这句话的由来和含义（他的中文是小学生程度）,他听了觉得有意思,就替我数了数长在围墙外的花蕾,发现竟达14个之多。
星期六晚上9点多回家,把头伸出围墙外看,有好几朵已经开放。

星期日晚上10点多从屋里出来,又有好几朵盛开了。

星期一早上出门前再看一看,所有的花都已经凋谢,泛黄花蕾垂得低低的,真的难以相信几个小时前,纯白的花朵还骄傲的绽放着。
记得小时候,姑姑家也有一株昙花。记忆中只有小孩大人聚在一起等昙花开的温馨画面,但是却不记得曾经看过开放的昙花。或许那时候还小,等不到昙花开,就已经睡着了吧。
十几年后,我终于亲眼看到了'昙花一现'。
感谢R陪我'赏花'和缅怀过去,还冒着手机从15楼掉下的风险替我拍下这些短暂（又模糊）的美丽...

关于昙花（资料来自百度百科)
【种中文名】：昙花
【种拉丁名】：Epiphyllum oxypetalum (DC.) Haw.
【科中文名】：仙人掌科
【科拉丁名】：Cactaceae
【属中文名】：昙花属
【属拉丁名】：Epiphyllum
昙花别名琼花、月下美人，属仙人掌科、昙花属。灌木状主茎圆筒形，木质。分枝呈扁平叶状，多具２棱，少具３翅，边缘具波状圆齿。刺座生于圆齿缺刻处。幼枝有刺毛状刺，老枝无刺。夏秋季晚间开大型白色花，花漏斗状，有芳香。原产墨西哥。喜温暖湿润和半阴环境。不耐霜冻，忌强光暴晒。宜含腐殖质丰富的沙壤土。冬季温度不低于5℃。
昙花枝叶翠绿，颇为潇洒，每逢夏秋夜深入静时，展现美姿秀色。此时，清香四溢，光彩夺目。盆栽适于点缀客室、阳台和接待厅。在南方可地栽，若满展于架，花开时令，犹如大片飞雪，甚为壮观。昙花的开花季节一般在6至10月，开花的时间一般在晚上8～9点钟以后，盛开的时间只有3～4个小时，非常短促。昙花开放时，花筒慢慢翘起，绛紫色的外衣慢慢打开，然后由20多片花瓣组成的、洁白如雪的大花朵就开放了。开放时花瓣和花蕊都在颤动艳丽动人。可是只3～4小时后，花冠闭合，花朵很快就凋谢了，真可谓“昙花一现”！

喉咙痛,咳嗽了一个星期还是没有好起来。每一次喉咙痛得严重就会想起中学时童军团里的一个学姐。
那年团露营她是队长我是队副。露营的前几天我喉咙痛到失声。她知道后煲了两大瓶的凉茶送给我,令我既感激又感动。
她给我的小小恩惠我一直铭记在心。不知道她还记得吗？

意外的温泉之旅

2007-09-09T22:54:00.000-07:00

很多人都知道古晋有温泉,我这个'老'古晋人是最近回去才听说有关温泉的事。

家人都不知道温泉的所在,所以这次回去并没有安排在行程里面。但是却误打误撞见识了古晋温泉的庐山真面目。

那天本来是要去婆罗州高原的。从古晋市到婆罗州高原路途没有想象中近,好不容易到了山脚却因为没有预定而吃了闭门羹。

我不甘心大半天白白浪费了,于是就建议去寻找传说中的温泉。

从婆罗州高原驱车再往上一点,就看到公路的左边有一个用手写着'HOT SPRING'的牌子。牌子上箭头指向的路,并不是柏油路而是用大小石子铺成的小路。

在石子路上颠簸了大约五分钟,来到了一个交叉路口。路口又是两个手写的牌子而且并没有清楚指示温泉的方向!!!

自以为幸运的我们决定往左。当时汽车的油缸已经剩下不到一半的油...

十分钟过后,石子路变得狭窄,大家也渐渐感到不安...

又过了五分钟,路愈变荒凉...

负责开车的大姐终于在油针的压迫下截停了难得从对面行驶过来的红色国产车...

大姐:Mana hot spring?

马来驾驶:Oh, salah. Bukan sini....Ikut saya.

于是我们跟着这辆红色的车回到了刚才交叉路口。不用说都知道往右才是去温泉的路。马来驾驶告诉我们只要跟着车潮去就对了。Terima Kasih!

开入正确的小路五分钟后来到了一个土著kampung。 Kampung前的一块空地上人车汹涌。我们把车停下,跟着人潮往丛林走去。

越过丛林来到一条小溪,热泉就是从小溪底冒出来的。

不知道是哪个有心人把有温泉冒出来的地方用小石子围了起来,形成了一个个小温泉池,让游人知道温泉的所在,也把温暖的水和山上流下来冰冷的溪水隔开。

辛苦了一整天终于可以好好享受一下了。

但是四十度的泡汤对于生活在这四季如夏的热带国家又顶着大太阳的我们可谓无福消受...

往婆罗州高原的路绿意葱葱

被石子围起来的地方就是所谓的温泉

水中冒出来的热泡泡

去的时候正逢土著庆祝丰收节。所以也顺便到真正的土著长屋参观了一下。（以前都只是去文化村看'假的'长屋）

(温泉之旅发生了一个不愉快的小插曲。有人把鸡蛋放在温泉里煮。这本来没有造成什么大问题,但是后来鸡蛋破了,流出来的蛋白让清澈的溪水变浑浊,也让游人感到不
舒服。希望到温泉的每一个人在玩乐之余也可以保护这个地方)

河马张开口吞掉了水草，烦恼都装进它的大肚量...

歌总是唱得美，但是现实往往相反...

河马到对岸看烟火。庄园里的员工和动物如置身于天堂,享受了短暂的快乐时光。

但是河马毕竟是动物庄园的管理员,庄园不能够没有它。（咳,它自认为如此,其他人/动物并不是这么想的。）所以它很快就回来了。

现在庄园又恢复了以往的阴沉、灰暗。大家都在期待河马下一次出巡，期待它的花旗国之旅...

Saturday

Finally moved all my things out from CCK.
While waiting for R down my new house, a car driven by a causasian reversed and knocked down a motorbike illegally parked there. I was so shocked I just stood there motionless. I would have been knocked if the motorbike wasn't there. But I pity the owner of the motorbike cos the driver fled after that.

Sir Alex vs Keano. What a cruel sight.

Sunday

Rochor Road closed for the triathlon. I was late for my class dued to massive traffic jam.

Went to a petshop near my school after class. Saw two cute little poodle puppies. Too bad R said 'no' again.

to Poo or not to Poo

2007-08-29T23:04:00.000-07:00

I am not going to talk about something dirty. It's about this cute little creature called 'Poodle'.

R and I are planning to get a poodle. I know that to be a responsible dog owner, I have to understand the breed and be prepared before getting a puppy. So I bought quite a number of books about the breed. However, the more I read, the more I worry that I cannot be a good owner. I feel that may be I don't deserve such good dog. Though I have had a dog before, it was when I was still a student and had a lot of time taking care of the dog.

'A smart dog needs a smart owner'. That's what I read from one of the books.Poodle is a very smart dog. It is ranked 2nd most intelligent dog after border collie. Er...so now the question is, can I be a smart owner?

Sigh, I am in dilemma now.

Anyway, this doesn't stop me from going to dog shows and visiting petshops. Maybe I can just be a dog lover without a dog.

早上看到娃娃脸杀手挂靴的消息，鼻子酸酸的。他并不是我最喜欢的曼联球员，但是毕竟也是我'足球生涯'(其实只是足球观众）中重要的一员。我想很多曼联的球迷也跟我一样吧,认为只要有他,就可以看到奇迹。永远也不会忘记他在1999年对拜仁的比赛中攻入的那粒球（还记得那天晚上我是独自一个人看球赛的）,当然还有很多很多他创造的'不可能'。娃娃脸也不得不向岁月和伤患低头吧？感谢他为我的足球世界带来这么多精彩和激情...

幸福插曲

2007-08-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

手放开

作曲：方文良歌手：李圣杰

我把自己关起来只留下一个阳台
每当天黑推开窗我对着夜幕发呆
看着往事一幕一幕
再次演出你我的爱
我把电视机打开听着别人的对白
也许那些故事可以给我一个交代
你要的爱我学不来
眼睁睁看情变坏人怔怔看情感概
不能给你未来我还你现在
安静结束也是另一种对待
当眼泪流下来伤已超载
分开也是另一种明白
我给你最后的疼爱是手放开
不要一张双人床中间隔着一片海
感情的污点就留给时间慢慢漂白
把爱收进胸前左边口袋
最后的疼爱是手放开
不想用言语拉扯所以选择不责怪
感情就像候车月台有人走有人来
我的心是一个站牌写着等待
最后的疼爱是手放开
我把收音机打开听着别人的失败
啃咽的声音仿佛诉说着相同悲哀
你的依赖还在胸怀
我无法轻易推开我无法随便走开
感情中专心的人容易被伤害

给P.S.
读了你的网志才发现一向给人印象精明能干的你也有脆弱的时候。
没良心的我竟然到你有了新男朋友之后才知道R.M.已经根你分手了。有一点不好意思，没有在你伤心的时候给你安慰的话。
还好从你的网志中知道你很快就振作起来，并没有让自己活在痛苦之中。哈哈...你果然是一个又聪明又坚强的女孩,不会因失恋而倒下。
希望你和现在的男朋友可以开花结果，顺便希望你早日读完你的硕士班！

给P.L.
现在的你一定觉得痛苦万分。我知道无论朋友们对你说多少安慰的话,也无法抚平你心中的伤。但是我还是要说失去了他,并不代表失去全世界。眼泪是珍贵的,不应该为他一直流,因为在未来的日子里还有很多更值得感动和感伤的时刻要你用眼泪表达。
竟然他已选择了放弃，你何不也让自己自由？
不要说我不了解,我也有过这样的经验。结束一段感情,伤心是难免的。要从悲伤中走出来总是需要时间。这过程也许折腾,也许漫长,但是它终究会过去。
朋友,请相信我,时间是最好的疗药...

幸福来了,要好好把握
幸福走了,放手也是一种祝福

Lotus Flower Garden Trail

2007-08-23T16:06:00.000-07:00

When R told me there is wild lotus in Singapore. I didn't believe him (Er... just like I didn't believe him when he told me there are monkeys and durian trees in Singapore. Hahaha). Not until R drove me to the place and I saw hundreds of lotus flower plants in front of me.
We have been returning to the place since. I just like to spend a few minutes there, watching the lotus plants swaying with the winds. I enjoy doing it but I am not sure whether R enjoy it as much. Hehehe...
I got to know that the place is called 'Lotus Flower Garden Trail'. It's located near Turut Track, where BBC Far Eastern Relay Station is.

*There was once when we went, the plants were infested with some pink color parasites and it was really a sad sight. The parasites almost 'ate out' all the plants. I was worried that lotus plants will be forever gone I told R I am going to take some pictures of the horrible scene, send them to my friend who's working for the paper and hopefully alert the NPark or some conservative organisations about the problem. R said it's a stupid idea and told me that the plants will survive.

Well, as you can see, they survived!

这社会在进步, 但是有些好像还在原地踏步东西...

没想到许冠杰在1976年所创作的歌曲《半斤八两》到了30年以后的今天还可以这么真实、深刻的唱出打工仔的心声。

半斤八两

作曲：许冠杰作词：许冠杰
歌手:许冠杰

我地呢班打工仔
通街走直头系坏肠胃
温个些少到月底点够驶(吃个鬼)
咪话无乜所谓

最弊波士郁的发威(癫过鸡)
一咪系处系唔系就乱黎吠
哎亲加薪块面拿起恶睇(扭下计)
你就认真开胃

半斤八两做到只积甘既样
半斤八两湿水炮仗点会响
半斤八两够姜就揸枪走去抢
出左半斤力想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食边有半斤八两甘理想(吹涨)

我地呢班打工仔一生一世为钱币做奴隶
个种辛苦折堕讲出吓鬼(死比你睇)
咪话无乜所谓

半斤八两就算有福都无你享
半斤八两仲惨过滚水渌猪掌
半斤八两鸡碎甘多都要啄
出左半斤力想话摞番足八两
家阵恶温食边有半斤八两甘理想

＊不好意思, 我知道一定有些人看不懂用广东话写的歌词。谢谢包涵。

动物庄园里的一个员工又病倒了。河马本来就不是很满意这个员工,毒蛇还乘机带着煽动的口气说 “我们这里不是慈善团体”。
如果动物庄园不是慈善团体,为什么有这么多的义工领少少的钱,做很多很多的工作?
对于河马的无情员工们每天忍气吞声，默默的奉献,也算是为它积一点公德吧!
这不是慈善团体是什么？

P/S
可怜的羊(庄园里当然有羊）因为河马糟糕的人际关系而必须身兼二职，领一分薪水做两份工。
河马给羊的回报是一句赠言--资格不足--作为羊打工生涯的珍贵座右铭、重大旅程碑！

It's the second NDP that I've gone to. I didn't have a ticket that allows me to sit comfortably and watch the whole parade. I joined the crowd at the other side of the river. We could neither hear the songs nor see the performances on the floating platform. However, I don't think it really bothered anyone there. People came for the fireworks.
The crowd dismiseed almost immediately after the fireworks. And of course, I dismissed myself as well...

Maybe li'l ol Hunchback of the Boleyn Ground just shouldn't have joined the team? His charm just won't work in the team.

Maybe the litte Schme*chel was defending the wrong side of the goal? Like father like son, he can be great.

Maybe the Bugs Bunny's failure in England International team was just a conspiracy? He is here to defeat and destroy all English clubs.

Maybe anyone of you reading this can bet on Man U being relegated this season...

动物庄园

2007-08-16T19:33:00.001-07:00

这是一个发生在动物庄园里的故事。
庄园的主人是人,为庄园工作的也是人。但是由于庄园的主人拥有庞大的事业,无暇管理这个小庄园,所以有一只河马便乘机控制了这个庄园。
这是一只在烂泥堆中打滚了十几年，百毒不侵的河马。它让每一个庄园的员工为它卖命,却给他们很少很少的酬劳。
毒蛇是它的宠物,所以没有人敢反抗它。因为它可以随时放蛇咬人。
它制定了IN FARM RULES,控制每个人的举动,就连香水也是违禁品。它常叫香水作臭水,但是它却能忍受自己的口臭。难道这就是传说中"香即是臭,臭即是香"的最高境界?
它不希望庄园里的人有太好的表现，又诅咒离开庄园的人。
庄园里的每一个人,天天都盼望可以离开这个动物庄园 (当然它的宠物蛇例外）。等到大家都离开它,它会不会有所领悟?哎,它应该还是会执迷不悟吧...

给在动物庄园里挣扎的大家...革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力...

起点...梦纽西兰

2007-08-16T02:59:00.001-07:00

我没有梦见纽西兰只是梦见了一个在纽西兰的朋友
他是一个小学同校、中学六年都同班、彼此的家走几步就到的朋友。
那是一个很轻松、很平淡的梦。就像从前发生过无数次一样。他到我家串门子，我们打打闹脑，有说有笑...
我不知道为什么会梦见他。
自从他到纽西兰求学、就业之后我们似乎就没有再见面，而我在这个繁荣的岛国浑浑噩噩的过日子，几乎也忘了他。
是我想念从前那段无忧无虑的日子还是我太向往在纽西兰过生活？
我不会解梦，这个梦的意义就算了吧。
但是这个梦让我想起了这位老朋友。这个在我生命中不是很重要, 却在我小学、中学最快乐的十二年里一直都在的朋友。
希望在南半球的他一切都好。

仅以此作为起点献给我所认识的每一个为了梦想默默耕耘、忍辱负重的朋友们。希望大家（包括我在内)不要忘了追逐梦想，祝大家美梦成真！
