Power of Rare Male Species

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

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

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...

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

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。

Merry X'mas

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 standing log cake

A roasted chicken, with corns, vegetable and seafood.

Mashed potato, pizza and broccoli soup.

Welcome to 'United Nations'

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..
