朋友 Friends forever

不知最近得罪那個小人, 蠻倒楣的. 一個星期內車子坏了兩次, 而且是停在路旁, 只是幸好沒有阻礙到交通. 更加幸好的是, 我有一群很好的朋友, 再我最需要幫助時給予我幫助, 特別要在這邊感謝他們...

谭偉倫 - 感謝你一大早載我到處找汽車維修店.
沈子逸 - 感謝你幫我汽車充電.
劉坊坊 - 感謝你載我去汽車維修店.
徐榮興 - 感謝你幫我在雨中推車.

就以這兩首歌送給你們...
如果沒有你, 車子怎麼走...
如果沒有遇見你, 我的車子沒人理...

最後, 更重要的是要感謝我自己, 因為...我平時對人太好了,說一到處有人幫. 你們應該不會是應為我長得好看而幫我吧?

Work work work

The day started with a miserable meeting with the US engineers. Just happened that the audio conference bridge wasn't working (which is rare) and on and off we were connected, then disconnected, back and forth. After dragging about 40 minutes, 5 of us were finally on the bridge, but I could barely hear the cross-site engineers. That didn't bother me much, as my project lead recorded all the ARs (Action-Requireds) and soon I was flooded with tons of work. I have no time for breakfast, no time to clean my mail box (and mails keep coming in), I haven't write my weekly report, and I was given even more works. I definitely understand that I was not paid to shake my legs and browse the net in the office. But I too miss my old 'profession' as a barista at a renowned coffee place. Reminiscing the days when I can meet all sorts of people behind the till, the exchanging of F&B knowledges over a cup of coffee, the inhale of the first batch of coffee aroma in the Colombia Shuttle, how I wish I can turn back the time. In this half a year time, I finally learnt that I am better in the service profession. The sad thing is, this company isn't paying enough for my qualification, and my mum had been nagging me to find a 'better' job (still depends on how to define the word 'better'), and I finally realised I couldn't hurt my parents that way any longer.
I wish I can be a chef all my life. I love cooking, I love to discuss food with my peers, I go internet (often) to hunt recipes for my own compilation, and I even cut out recipes from the papers and stick on my notebook. I have all the essential elements; passion, enthusiasm, interest.. just lack of a tinge of courage. I mentioned to my mum before, that I wish that I can take F&B as my profession in the future. The response that I got is an unfortunate negative. But do you know that Mother, that's what I am really looking forward?

Went to the nearby petshop with Beng the other day and saw a extremely cute toy poodle pup. 4 months old and extremely quiet for a pup, especially its species. He stared at me a lot and licked my fingers when i reached him (the shop owner warned me not to do that again). Such a cute thing, but I can't afford to bring him back at the moment. I did consider to own him, but I am afraid he will suffer after that cause I don't have much time to take good care of him. It was difficult to say goodbye, he watched me off. When I pass by the petshop everyday on my way back home, I remember his pair of eyes.

Had some arguments with a colleague lately and I think he spends too much of his time complaining and blaming on people. It's getting hard to get along with him, as I need to take care of his feeling too much. He is quite a bit more emotional than normal guys, and can be as sensitive as a gal. Actually he is a nice guy afterall, at least I think he is trustworthy. Just hope that one day he can live his life easier.

31st is coming very soon! It's Baskin Robbin day again! Me and Beng missed the last two 31st consecutively, we can't afford to miss another one. This time I gonna choose different flavour, and I guess Beng will just stick to his old Chocolate.

God save me!

I was forced by a bin-tai lou to write this:

Goh Seng Han, a guy that every girl cannot affort to lose, every girl cannot survive without him..

I really don't know what's going on in the current community, the society gradually become more and more unhealthy, and people can just lie with both of their eyes widely opened. Even me... I never lie in my blog, but why I am doing this??

Food when I was young

Just suddenly thought of some interesting way of serving food when I was small. Most of them are no longer being used but I think it will give all of us a nice read.

• Bread spreaded with thick butter, and then coated with a sufficient layer of fine sugar. Very smart of me, the main purpose of the butter, is to hold the layer of sugar from dirting the floor, and to neutralise the sweetness of the sugar with its saltiness. I thought I invented that actually, though just found out that I am not the only one doing that.

• Raisins. I will carefully bite off the tip/end of the raisin, and push the flesh out by sliding your teeth on the skin from one end to another. After having the flesh, finish up the skin. So due to this strange way of finish up a raisin, I fancy the green one than the black one cause the skin of the green one can stand my teeth better. Till now, I am still eating that way.

• I learned to make my own meals when I was in primary school. A bowl of rice, topped with scrumbled eggs (I can make myself at that age), and a few spoonful of Bovril. Mix it well and it's ready to be served. I can never get bored of it. I can't remember since when I stopped eating that way, should be the time when I was so health concious that I started in controlling my carbohidrate intake.

• My dad likes watermelon. Normally he'll cut the juicy fruit into slices with skin. But I disliked eating that way. I would clear off the skin and chopped the flesh into approx 1.5"*1.5" cubes. Then, they were sealed with polymer wrap and put into the freezer (yes, freezer). Within an hour, a thin layer of ice will be formed on the surface, but the cubes still aren't hard enough to break your teeth. Put it into your mouth, and your body will immediately fill with a sudden rush of chill. I no longer eating that way, due to my laziness.

• Oh, this one is probably one of my favourite. I can even make my own junk food! In a half cup fulled of Milo, add in a few tablespoon of water. Mix them well and you shall see a thick dark chocolate mixture. Eat just like that. Yea, just like that. That's why I always get heaty when I was young, and my mum never know I ever have such healthy junk food in my life.

• I had a mango tree in my first house. So basically I get to eat mango all year long. My mum taught me how to serve the semi-riped mango with prawn paste (har-kou in cantonese) till one fine day I couldn't find any prawn paste in the fridge. This ingenious me started to make my own paste, by mixing sufficient amount of thick dark soy sauce with sugar. To me (at that time), they looked quite alike and I thought they should taste alike. I could finish a full bowl of mangoes with this home-made paste without any diffuculties. It must be quite tasty, I can't remember. But I don't really practice this now.

• I don't like spicy food when I was young. But always triggered by the smell of my mum's curry, I couldn't resist to have a bite. I would run the meat under the running water to wash away the curry before consumption. Again, my mum never know how I used to waste her effort in making those curries.

Perhaps those ordinary stories happened on you too, just hope that you enjoy your childhood as much as I do.

Paradise

Had been feeling quite grateful lately of what my mother did to me when I was young. No, not something bad. I was instructed to attend uncountable of piano lessons since I was in the age of 7, for 10 years I never failed to visit my piano teacher once in a week. I can't really reminisce when that I started to voluntarily doing my daily practises. But anyhow, the music foundation that was built inside me bit by bit can't be more solid. Today, everything seems to be paid off. If not because of how much I used to be soaked in the pool of classical music, I might not be able to appreciate such beautiful, graceful, melodic and contemplative solo piano music broadcasting in Whisperings Solo Piano Radio. My mind was in such a peaceful state whenever the musics started to flow, even the tedious works in hand became less torturing.

Imagine yourself lying in the scented bath tub with the aromatherapic candles lighted on, turn on this radio, and how far the paradise can be?
You are in it.

Dream-ing

Being slightly slacky today, I just happened to have a conversation in IM with a colleague, who's gonna leave the company soon. Before that I thought that he quited just because of a simple reason, he is bored of his job. But after this chat session, he led me into a deep thought. He is one such dauntless guy, who is brave enough to make the decision that he thinks is right. We all know that the job we are doing isn't suitable and lead to nowhere, and is far from what we really want. But, I chose to bear with it, as I really don't have the courage to take any risk. I can't afford to leave this multinational company which has about 91,000 employees worldwide, to seek for what I always wanted.

"I don't have to care what others are thinking. I am responsible on my own life. If someone doesn't agree with what you are doing, it doesn't mean that you are wrong, it's just that they don't understand what you are doing."

This guy who's one year younger than me, he can think even wiser. But yet, I can't make any decision yet. Maybe after today I am one step closer to my dream, and I become more certain on what I want, but it's still not the time yet. Though, all the politics, back-stabbers, kiasu people, I have had enough. For now, I just hope that those that care for me can understand and appreciate what I am doing, and know how hard I am struggling, wishing to reach the right bank.

When I am on the right track, that's gonna be the beginning of the new stage of my life.

我是天蝎座

Ｏ型 天蠍座

想要以一句話來解釋清楚Ｏ型天蠍座的性格，這是極為困難的。Ｏ型表現在外的氣質是：具有彈性的冷靜態度，而且對時間、地點、場合的反應極靈敏。天蠍座本身就具有下列特性：俗氣、持有堅固的信念、確實保持住自己的領域。這兩種全然不同的性格結合在一個人的身上，於是就時有衝突發生。

所以，雖然同樣是Ｏ型天蠍座的人，因人而異同樣會出現某種程度的差別。就是同一個人，也會依時間、地點的不同，而表現全然不同的個性。

Ｏ型天蠍座的特色，可用其強硬的意志力來做代表。這類型的人，平時很少談自己，和人初見面時，給人軟弱無能的印象。事實上，這種人的個性深沈，並且擁有強硬的意志力。這種強硬的意志力，恰如磐石般穩固的令人吃驚。

這類型的人另外還有一個特徵，那就是具有豐富的想像力。他們不是積極和人交往的類型，但是當他們找到合適的人，就會徹底信賴對方，並且坦誠地和對方交往。運用他們敏銳的第六感和豐富的想像力，他們就能把握住對方的心思。

由於這類型的人較為深沈的緣故，所以比較沈默，不會說些奉承他人的話。因為這種個性，也許會給人一種難以應付的感覺。對於個性不合的人，也許更會帶給對方冷漠的印象。

然而這類型的人，本來是誠實而且心地善良的人。他們注重信諾，一旦說出口的事無論如何都會恪遵到底；他們對親密交往的人有絕對的信賴。只不過因為很暴露自己的心情，於是就故意隱瞞。因此有將自己關閉在內心世界的傾向。這種人獨佔慾也是相當的強，一旦到手的東西絕不鬆手，因此很容易捲進這種個性所帶來的糾紛中。

期於強烈的意志力，Ｏ型天蠍座的人極容易形成頑固、倔強的性格。他們不會明顯的表露在行為上，但是在內心的自信和自尊是不輸任何人的。對他人的意見和忠告，是不會生氣反駁，但是他們也不會接納那些建議，仍舊是按照自己的信念而行動。

最后，天蝎座永远是繁星中最美丽的星座。

最后一句是我自加的。忘了附加一点，天蝎座是超自恋的。

It's time to go!

Another 1 day, I will be conquering the highest mountain in South East Asia, the mount Kinabalu.

October Fest

Just went back KL last weekend, and attended a primary schoolmate's birthday celebration. It was kinda fun to catch up with some of these friends, after missing plenty of outings with the gang. Here are some pictures that I would like to share, contributed by our beloved Hotdog:















Buffet dinner at Neway, Times Square. Benson took oysters as his appetizer. The guys definitely know why they need that a lot and that was why I found piles of oyster shells scattered on the table after that.















Here comes the can't-get-mic-off-hands diva. Jason at the back was so stunned and stoned with my singings. :">















Everyone was stuffed with all sorts of food, and look at the mess! Even the monkey was pleased and showed the sign of victory.















Arrr..rrr..mmmmm..















This desirous woman still couldn't get enough huh. :s




















Woo.. go slow go slow.. no one is rushing you babe. And no one will accuse you for eating so much kaka..

Seems like everyone was enjoying so much with the strip show by Benson and Hau.

Who's the birthday person? The one holding the cake? Or the one cutting it? Or..

Here he is! Our birthday boy with his killer smile. This year guai kang liao ah?

I want leng lui I want leng lui I want leng lui....

Here comes LENG LUI!! Phewittt..

Anthony and his birthday pressieee!! *slurp*

The room was a bit chilly.. and Anthony became so excited with his pressiee. So..

Chick rules! Cheers!

Guess the pics explain everything the best. No elaboration needed. So I am gotta split!

.....

Sorry for being so mean today but..

I WANNA GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!

I don't wanna see anyone, don't wanna do anything, I just wanna get my ass out of this place. I miss KL, I miss mama, I miss papa.. I am so damn stucked!

Sob...

Valuable

A true companion is the one who knows all about you, and still likes you.

A real companion is the one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

A faithful companion is the one who will be there for you when he'd rather be somewhere else.

I've learned that valuable is not what you have in your life, but WHO you have in your life. Be true, real and faithful to everyone around you. And you will be treated the same.

Anyone who is reading this, thanks for being part of my life. :)

You are back

She left me on her birthday exactly 8 months ago, and now she is back. I got her contact number from her boyfriend, feeling so stimulated to hear her voice again.

I dialed the number and waited for the other end to pick it up. Memories flooded my mind and I couldn't stop reminiscing those good and bad moments we used to have. Finally, someone answered the phone. The person that I have been missing all the time, was now talking to me, 300km away. Drops of clear saline fluid secreted from my eyes, one after another. During the whole conversation, I kept wiping my tears and tried hard to lower my weeping tone from propagating to the surrounding cubicles.

She will be in KL for a week, but I can only spend a trifling 6 hours with her. Then, God knows when is our next meet up. But yet, she remains to be the best friend I can ever have. No matter where you are and how far we are apart, as I always tell you, no one can be your substitution in my heart. Li Chen, my roommate for 3 years from Shanghai, best friend forever.

What day is today?

What's the day that you dislike most in a week? Well.. for a stucked-in-work person like me, most probably you will give me a prompt response of Monday, Tuesday or both. I always find myself having severe difficulty in exhibiting my luminous eyes for at least a day or two after the long weekends. I can hardly make them wide-opened. Even with a sufficient amount of workload in hand to keep me busy with, I will still fail to battle the attack of my drowsiness, and tend to doze off in front of the PC. The huge contrast between the slackly weekends and the tedious weekdays explains why I dislike Monday and Tuesday so much.

Or I should say, disliked.

Today, is another disasterious Tuesday. I started to complain about how mad I am feeling today to someone, till I asked that person in return how he is feeling about the beginning of the week. When I started to expect him to be like a typical workperson, hating all the Mondays and Tuesdays, he actually came out with something, quite enlightening.

"I do look foward for weekends," he said. "But I don't hate Monday and Tuesday either. I treasure my everyday."

I was wordless, in a sudden. I saw myself shrinking, and accusing myself why I can't be as sensible as he is. That's so true. Time, which is the most precious of all, should be cherished with our utmost effort, but not be wasted in all the frets and glooms. Come to think of how those grievous illed people struggling to earn their time to stay alive, you should know by now, treasure your everyday as if it's your last day.

I see a difference in me. From now on, everyday is Sunday.

Memory

I might forget what you said,
I might forget what you did,

But I can never forget,
How you ever made me feel.

Dilemma

Sometimes I really hope that I can be in some strange places, doing whatever I want.

I feel like shit right now.

• To see someone I barely know smiles at me while calling out my name.
• To see someone that makes my heart pump faster.
• To have a considerate pat on the shoulder by someone after a hard day.
• To laugh.. laugh.. and laugh.. when thinking of the stupid moments with stupid friends. :D

• To have someone says out what I exactly wanna say.
