31.01.2009 | 除非莫為

我想要講嘅係, 若要人不知, 除非己莫為.. 唔好以為人哋見唔到就可以作個估仔嚟到瞞天過海, 實不知人哋一早已經識穿謊言, 唔出聲並唔代表仍然蒙在鼓裡, 其實係唔想將事情搞大, 令到關係惡劣啫.. 有咩事需要隱瞞啊, 咁樣做只會加深人哋嘅誤會, 越係往壞嗰方面去諗咋喎, 好唔健康好過份囉.. 唔好話係咩善意嘅謊言, 呢個回應好行囉.. 其實整見事睇落真係有啲好曖昧嘅事情正在發生, 所以要刻意隱瞞.. 咁樣做係叫做講大話, 叫做出賣, 叫做欺騙..

我至憎人講大話呃我!!「人在做, 天在看」-- 荷媽, 《家好月圓》what i wanted to say is, if you do not want people to know what you have done, then do not do that at first.. do not assume that things are covered up with the beautiful story you have created, just because you think people did not see what was happening, never expected that the lie have actually been uncovered.. keeping the silence does not mean people is still unaware, the fact is actually that people do not wish to blow things up and worsen the relationship at last.. what is there to hide and to lie about?? such a deed shall only add on to the misunderstandings, and make people think more about the vices, really unhealthy and too much of doing so.. do not say that it is some kind of white lies or for the good sake, that is just some general response.. afterall when the whole thing is seen clearly inside out, something fishy has just been happening, and therefore that intentional hide.. don't you think this kind of act is just equal to telling lies, betraying and cheating??

i hate liars!! "when you are doing, heaven is watching" -- Ho Mah, The Moonlight Resonance

30.01.2009 | 小賭頤情

新年期間不外乎瞓覺電視吃喝, 又或者係小賭一番.. 我唔係個鐘意賭博嘅人, 新年期間朋友仔興致勃勃話要開局, 我都唔會掃興嘅, 不過我絕對屬於小賭頤情, 於賭檯上增進感情嗰啲..

頭先同兩位朋友CT同JC玩咗幾圈衛生麻將同啤牌.. 真係衛生架, 我係唔會玩錢架囉, 因為好清楚知道自己逢係賭親錢就勢必會輸錢, 所以都費事同我呢個頑強嘅宿命玩對抗, 血汗錢嚟架嘛大佬.. 就好似個天已經批死我呢世人唔會有橫財咁, 抽獎永遠冇我份, 賭錢一定輸清光, 買彩票唔會有獎中, 所以我認命講一句「係咁架喇」, 都係小賭怡情啫, 又唔係靠賭錢搵兩餐~~nothing much interesting to do during CNY besides sleeping/watching tv/eating, or perhaps some little gambling.. i am certainly not a fan of gambling, though seems like it's a ritual activity during CNY during friends or relatives gathering, i would not reject anyway, but rather i consider myself gamble just for fun and to bond closer relationship..

just came back from a very "hygienic" mahjong and poker gamble session with friends CT and JC.. i say "hygienic" because we just did not involve any money, as i clearly understand whenever i gamble with money, i will certainly loose them all!! hence, for the sake of my hard-earned money, it is just too insane to go against fate right?? just like i'm destined to have little luck in sudden wealth, never have been picked in lucky draws, never can keep my money in gambling, never can strike any lottery.. that is why i have given up on and never being "ambitious" anymore, but just treat gambling as game because i am not a professional gambler who earns my living on it~~

29.01.2009 | 年年有餘

每年過新年辦年貨, 一定少不了呢一兜兜嘅手工食品.. 有傳統嘅有新穎嘅, 咩花生餅, 椰汁餅, 薯粉餅, 菠蘿躂, 各式各樣花多眼亂.. 全部清一色用個紅色蓋透明塑膠桶裝入, 係唔係好熟悉呢?? 我相信家家戶戶必定有幾桶掌門口架喇, 係睇多寡啫..

我屋企就成個飯檯都係囉, 話就話係準備畀上門拜年啲親朋戚友食, 不過食得幾多吖又?? 每年又唔係淨返一大堆, 自己慢慢嚼成個幾兩個月都嚼唔晒?? 其實呢啲嘢食多會濟而且致肥又熱氣, 再加上越賣就越貴, 一桶要20蚊以上(成本得幾蚊, 真係好大個口!!), 都唔知屋企點解要買咁多返嚟, 嘥錢.. 唔通真係就咁樣年年有餘??for every year amongst all the CNY goodies, we will for sure never miss out those homemade cookies.. be them traditional or innovative, peanut cakes, coconut milk crisps, tapioca cookies, pineapple tarts, you name it they got it.. all being kept in transparent plastic containers with red cover, familiar eih?? i believe every single family will have all these at home, the difference is only by how much or how less..

we have loads of them laying on our dining table, they are actually meant for the guests, but well you know, guests don't eat much of these things.. and so, every year we have an abundance of them left over after the CNY, it normally took ourselves more than two months to finish up all these cookies.. i personally think you won't eat much, they are fattening and heaty, and what's more, they are getting more and more expensive at least RM20 for a tub (whereas i think the cost is less than RM5).. still don't understand why we, my family i mean, are buying these much, kind of waste money i think.. the chinese symbolises this as bountiful abundance of wealth, is that the major purpose?? :p

28.01.2009 | 開工大吉

當眾人仲喺度沉醉于新年嘅歡樂之中, 我今日已經急不及待去返工喇.. 今日返工嘅感覺非常之好, 唔駛人逼人, 唔駛車塞車, 少咗平時嘅緊張同埋壓迫感.. 同事全部都請晒假, 所以今日得我一個人返工, 一個人霸佔成間office, 一眼望去週圍全景無人, 好得意囉個感覺.. 冇乜騷擾, 好寧靜嘅一日, 個人覺得零舍爽朗, 所以啲嘢都做得特別快.. 如果日日都可以好似今日咁, 都真係唔錯囉..

突然間諗起開工大吉.. 個吉除咗指大吉大利, 事事順利, 如意吉祥(等等)之外, 仲代表住今日四週圍都空空如也, 哈哈!! 你又幾時先(捨得)開工呀?? 預祝你開工大吉, 步步高昇啦.. :)
while everyone is still enjoying their CNY holidays, i have already gone back to work today.. it's kind of great going to work today, i don't have to be trapped in congested traffic, i don't have to be squeezed in the aggressive crowd, really there is no tension and pressure you easily get from the normal days.. in addition, all my colleagues have taken leave for their CNY, thus i am the only one who is working in the office.. well i have the entire office space for myself, all around me was just empty spaces, kind of funny feeling though.. not much interruption and a superb quiet day, hence i really felt fresh and motivated to work, and finished off my work in just little time.. if everyday would be like today, i will be truly grateful, haha!!

the chinese say 開工大吉(kāi gōng dà jí) on the first day of work after CNY, to wish for good fortune and auspiciousness in work.. that is what 吉() literally means, but it can also mean emptiness (in the auspicious context of course) as what was my office today.. so when are you going to end your CNY holidays and start work?? let me wish you 開工大吉 in advance.. :)

27.01.2009 | 大年初二

新年真係冇細藝做, 大年初一初二一連做咗兩日足不出戶嘅宅男.. 瞓覺, 食嘢, 上網, 睇電視(終於都有時間開始追睇《珠光寶氣》喇失禮), 逗利時.. 如果唔計呼吸眨眼呢啲基本動作, 呢一兩日我的確只係做咗呢五種事情, 哈哈!!

我嘅新年就係咁過架喇, 不過都OK嘅, 難得可以hea一hea.. 截至今日受到十幾封利是, 算係幾好成績啩, 不過全部都未開封, 係都唔會話你知我總共袋咗幾多錢囉:p.. 總之就新年財大家齊齊發啦, 係唔係啱聽先??there really isn't much things to do during CNY, for the 1st and 2nd day of CNY, i have been staying at home whole day without stepping my foot out of the house.. sleep, eat, browse internet, watch tv (finally i have time to watch the series "the gem of life", haha), getting angpows.. if i don't consider breathing and blinking eyes, then i think i would have only done those 5 things for these few days, hahaha!!

so that's how i spent my CNY holidays, but i think that's quite OK since i just hardly can be such idle and so laid-back at home.. up to today, i have received more than 10 angpows, not yet open them, and even if i did, i won't tell you how much money i have received in total though :p.. anyway, i don't mind wishing everyone wealthy and prosperous, big money to all again~~

the 1st day of the 2009 CNY, i am now wearing a bright red top, to symbolise auspiciousness and prosperity.. heartfully picked the above few nostalgic CNY greeting songs for everyone, wishing everyone a happy, healthy and wealthy chinese new year!!

[note] you notice the english translation is so much shorter than the chinese.. in chinese tradition, it is good to say all those auspicious words (normally comes in phrases of 4 words), to wish everyone luck, happiness, health and wealth.. these four elements precisely summarize all those phrases in chinese :)

25.01.2009 | 新年新衣

過新年穿新衣, 農曆年例必都會買番幾件新衫嘅, 其實細細個就已經被灌輸呢種觀念架喇.. 不過近年嚟都唔會大事鋪張囉, 求其有件新嘅就叫做搞掂.. 尤其近呢兩年, 商場有事冇事都鐘意搞個大減價, 每次大減價都會唔覺意添番一兩件(滿足有平就要買嘅心理)..

頭先係咁意就喺個衣櫃內摷到幾件未著過嘅新衫.. 嘩!! 原來我平時積埋積都唔係少嘢喎, 呢度至少都夠我年初一著到年初七啦.. 唔好意思, 我話新年唔會特登買新衫著, 其實就好似我有個朋友話齋, 平時就已經儲咗唔少衫, 可以積埋等過年著啦.. 又係啱喎, 哈哈:p
new year new clothes, it's a tradition to get yourself some new clothes for CNY, i have been taught about this thinking since i was young.. however recently i don't really purposely buy new clothes for CNY, as long as there are something new then it's considered fine.. especially the recent two years, sales are everywhere like almost all year round, everytime i would accidentally get myself a couple of pieces, well to fulfill the silly thought of "you must buy it because it's cheap"..

found some new clothes from my closet unintentionally just now, and wow, those are really not just a few huh?? didn't realised i've actually been accummulating them till this heap, hehe, and i supposed they are more than enough for me from the 1st to the 7th day of CNY.. paiseh laa, i always tell people that i won't purposely buy clothes for CNY, but just like what my friend had to say about me, i have already kind of "bought" them way before CNY.. errmm, i think that was sort of true also, hahaha :p

24.01.2009 | 水靜河飛

農曆年回鄉過節係好多人嘅指定動作, 眼見同事朋友們個個都喺度高談闊論話返鄉下過年, 每次我都只係有聽嘅份.. 可能有個鄉下返吓, 會容易感受到農曆年嘅來臨, 不過我一年365日都係喺我呢個所謂嘅「鄉下」生活, 真係冇甚麼分別..

啲人走晒返鄉下, 所以週圍都顯得水靜河飛, 每年也如是.. 加上父母兩者都係排行最大嘅長輩, 我哋都係等叔舅姨姑上門拜訪, 所以就連去親戚屋企拜年嘅機會都少之又少.. 每年就係死蛇爛鱔咁hae喺屋企冇乜嘢做, 所以有時都會覺得新年好悶架..

仲有兩日咋, 我仲未feel到新年囉其實~~
it is a tradition for people to go back to their respective hometown to celebrate CNY, i see friends and colleagues happily talking about going back hometown for CNY celebration, but everytime i can only listen.. maybe because of the "hometown" thingy that people can feel CNY coming, but for me, since i am living in this so-called "hometown" each and everyday, i really don't find a wee difference..

people left for their hometowns, hence everywhere seem to be very quiet and empty, this is what happened during CNY every year.. both my parents are the eldest amongst their siblings, all aunts and uncles are supposed to come over to pay visit, thus it is just so rare that we have chances for relative house hopping.. and so being the same for every year, i really have not much to do at home during CNY other than eat/sleep/tv.. that is why i do sometimes think that CNY is quite a boring festive..

just two more days to CNY, but i still could not feel it~~

23.01.2009 | 同撈同發

繼噚日豐富嘅收工晏之後, 今日再下一城, 不過就係去食KFC啫, 果然係爭個天共地呀吓!! 不過都係取其意要個好意頭啫.. 講到好意頭, 又點少得「撈生」呢樣嘢吖?? 雖然唔知何年何時何人發明呢家玩意, 不過的確係受落喎, 已經演變成過新年嘅必定動作(梗係要有一次架喇!!)..

之前喺超市買咗DIY撈生禮盒返公司, 噚日收工晏之後全體同事就聚埋齊齊撈生喇.. 係啊, 而家要撈生可以DIY唔駛去酒樓架喇.. 不過話晒都係整便嘅, 係冇咁好食架喇.. 好彩大家都撈得非常之開心, 尤其係DK同學啊, 好似撈得過份肉緊喎, 呵呵!!

七彩鴻運發財撈生, 撈過之後大家齊齊發大財, 心想事成, 事業順利, 身體健康, 日日都咁開心!!
following the "closure lunch" yesterday, we did it again (ooops!!!) this afternoon, but it was just a simple lunch at KFC, quite a sudden drop of standard yeah?? haha.. anyway it was just meant for a get-together lunch before CNY to officially end the lunar calendar year, some kind of auspicious event.. anyway talking about auspiciousness, how could we ever miss out the lou sang?? no idea when and where and who invented this CNY gimmick, but seems like it is quite bought-in, till it is now a compulsory thing to do during the CNY period (well, at least once on the 7th day right??)..

bought a box of DIY lou sang condiments to office from supermarket, and had it after the lunch in office.. yes, you don't have to go to restaurants for lou sang anymore, if you think of doing it yourself.. still this is bought from ready-made packages, it won't taste that nice actually.. luckily seems like everyone is still enjoying the lou sang very much, especially DK who was suspiciously overjoyed?? hohohoho!!!

just like the bountiful auspicious lou sang symbolises, wishing everyone the best of luck and the most of wealth, being successful in life and career, and stay happy always~~

22.01.2009 | 收工慳宴

今日晏晝同幾位同事自費去「收工宴」, 就喺公司對面間中餐廳「東方匙羹Oriental Spoon」.. 入到去先發覺選擇唔多, 而且啲嘢都幾喇利, 仲係冇豬肉食添!! 不過既然嚟到, 好好醜醜都叫做要食番餐收工宴, 唯有打響算盤發揮慳家本領, 計過度過之後其實都叫咗唔少嘢喎, 至緊要係食得飽啫..

有茶, 有點心, 有炒粉炒飯, 有湯又有餸, 埋單每人30蚊, cost control之下都叫做可令人滿意啦.. 食物唔錯喎, 可能因為冇用到豬肉所以覺得味道比較清爽(係好嗰方面啦當然).. 個人較喜歡佢哋嘅蝦餃+XO醬炒飯+金酥雞柳.. 大家雖然係食得稍為拘謹(因為份量唔多), 不過有傾有笑, 都算係幾滋味嘅其實.. :)went for the chinese tradition "closure lunch" (before chinese new year) with a few colleagues this afternoon, we picked the chinese restaurant Oriental Spoon which is just opposite our office.. went in and only to find out there isn't much choice, a bit on the pricy side, and what's more - there is no pork served!! anyway since we were already there, just for the sake of a good "closure lunch" we emitted our calculative radar, after doing all the maths, we manage to order quite some amount of food actually, and more importantly everyone was filled up at least..

we had tea, dim sum, fried rice and noodles, soup and also dishes.. the bill came up as what we expected at RM30 per person, i would say under such "cost control" this is something quite satisfying actually.. food is not bad at all, perhaps because no pork is used, they taste less complicated (well, if you know what i mean), on the good side of course.. i personally think the better ones are the har gao, fried rice in XO sauce and the crispy chicken fillet with curry sauce.. though we were eating more courteously (because portions were not big), but with all the chats and laughs, it was a happy lunch indeed.. :)

21.01.2009 | 超級壓縮

最近每次睇戲, 都一定會有呢個廣告.. 如果30秒內要你sell個產品, 你會點樣sell?? 呢個荷氏薄荷糖廣告, 雖然不至於係搞笑, 不過我相信都可以令到你會心一笑嘅.. 我成日都好佩服廣告創作人嘅頭腦, 呢個廣告究竟用咗幾晚通宵先度到出嚟哩?? 係邊位嘅傑作呢?? 送畀佢一個掌聲連連.. :)

this is like a compulsory commercial in the theater whenever i go catch a movie recently.. if you are given 30 seconds to sell your product, how would you sell it?? this commercial ad from Halls mints, not any hilarious but i believe it could make you really laugh out though.. i am always impressed by the creative brain of advertisers, i wonder how many sleepless nights before this idea was conceived?? kudos to the one who did it.. :)


我鐘意片中所有角色碌大對眼肉緊到爆嘅表情, 好攪嘢囉~~
i really love the roll-eye expressions on the characters, they look darn funny~~

20.01.2009 | 心思細密

當你全神貫注做緊嘢嘅時候, 突然間收到份郵包, 嗰種感覺係叫做驚喜.. 再拆開包裹, 裡頭係你好鐘意嘅物品, 嗰種感覺係叫做窩心.. 再醒起你原來有一個咁心思細密嘅朋友, 嗰種感覺係叫做福份..

多謝25年老友小春由倫敦遠道寄嚟嘅郵包, 裡頭有"Paul Merton in China" DVD同埋三種唔同口味嘅朱古力.. 最近愛上朱古力, 聽講話食朱古力可以令人開心啲喎, 哈哈!! 我鐘意呢個Kshocolât牌子嘅朱古力, 因為包裝精簡大方, 而且口味創新獨特.. 好彩我都唔輸蝕, 上個星期已經寄咗啲嘢畀小春, 當係同佢賀新年啦, 不過唯獨留咗一張飄飄姐(賀歲歌皇后)嘅CD, 出年我會記得架喇, 呵呵..

郵包上個declaration標籤, 價值欄填咗20英鎊, 我話應該係(心意)無價.. :)
you are fully concentrating on work while suddenly you received a package, that is something you call surprise.. you unwrap the package and found things you really fancy inside, that is something you call warm-hearted.. you realised it's from a friend who has been so sweet to you, that is something you call friendship love..

many thanks to my 25-year old friend CSWS for this package all the way from london, she has got me the "Paul Merton in China" DVDs, and also three blocks of chocolates in different flavours.. i heard that eating chocolates can make you feel happier, is that true?? haha.. i like chocolates from Kshocolât, for their nice packaging and uniquely innovative flavours.. fortunately i didn't embarrass myself, as i have already sent her a package last week, for CNY perhaps, but i have just missed out a CD from Ms Loong Piao Piao (the CNY songs diva), i promised i will remember that next time, haha..

it was written on the declaration sticker that the contents of the package are worth 20 pounds, but i would say (the thought is) priceless.. :)

19.01.2009 | 頻頻撲撲

[背景]
因為銀行冇payroll facility, 所以我哋出糧要用支票, 而且重要寄去新加坡畀老細簽名.. 呢個月個個等住份糧過新年, 偏偏因為某些原因, 支票簽好晒要寄返嚟嘅時後, 竟然全數失蹤!! 結果要重新開支票, 不過咁啱唔夠支票, 所以要開張total入我私人戶口, 然之後逐個transfer返畀啲同事..

[戲肉]
今日支票過咗數, 以為可以輕輕鬆鬆online搞掂啦, 點知上限只係5000元, 所以被迫要去銀行處理.. 嗱嗱聲去到銀行, 個經理話唔可以就咁transfer, 一定要開張cash cheque兌票, 然之後逐個bank-in入同事戶口.. 臨時臨急我邊有支票喺身啊?? 同經理解釋我一定要今日搞掂呢筆錢, 但係佢點都話唔可以, 一定要cash cheque.. 點啊?? 銀行不嬲大晒架啦, 唯有返屋企拎囉!! 結果一身汗返到銀行, 逐張slip咁嚟填, 又驚自己填錯戶口號碼同銀碼, 所以真係搞到頭昏眼花!!

[結尾]
好唔明間銀行, 做咩要搞啲咁唔flexible嘅policy, 好唔掂囉!! 明明都係咁樣處理, 偏偏就要整個形式嚟兜個大圈去返原點!! 結果啊, 我11:30am由公司出發, 2:45pm先返到公司啊.. 要阿伯如此頻撲, 真係好攰囉..
[the background]
because of the lack of payroll facility of the bank, we have to issue checks for salary and from there courier to our boss in SG to sign the cheques.. this month while everyone is anxiously waiting the salary before going off for CNY, due to some reason, the signed cheques while ready to be courier back to us, all went missing!! and hence we gotta re-issue the cheques again, but so right that there is not enough cheques left.. so we have to issue one cheque for the total and bank-in to my personal account, after which i need to transfer the money to each of the colleagues..

[the show]
the cheques was cleared today, and immediately i thought i could do the online transfer freely in office.. who knows the limit for transaction is 5000 per day!! no choice i just gotta get my butt up and do the transfer over the counter.. arrived at the bank in a rush, only to realised from the bank manager that i am not allowed to transfer money to colleagues directly, instead i need to issue a cash cheque to myself and withdraw the money, only to bank-in the cash to each of the colleague's account.. where would the hell i bring my cheque book with me together in such an impromptu?? i tried to explain to her that i need to settle everything by today, but she just stood still over the bank's policy.. well, nothing i can do, bank is always enforcing their power right?? so i went back home purposely just to grab my cheque book and back to the bank again.. sweat dripping, i filled in the bank-in slip one by one, so threatened by mistakenly jotting down the account number and amount, it was like 50 years i was using to complete this task!!

[the ending]
i really have no idea why is there such a inflexible and rigid and stupid rules?? the transactions is done exactly the same way i would think a transfer would be done, but why create unnecessary rules to beat around the bush?? absurd!! as a result of that, i left office at 11:30am and only back to office at 2:45pm.. can you imagine how tiring for an uncle to go up and down and to and fro like that??

18.01.2009 | 食飯睇戲

今日gym完之後友人話想食物日本嘢, 於是就揀咗呢間「すし善」, 叫咗好簡單嘅炸雞扒便當同埋咖哩雞扒飯.. 食物OK不過服務就認真麻麻囉.. 叫咗凍綠茶, 結果落錯單寫熱綠茶, 仲要等到啲飯食到一半, 提醒侍應先慢條斯理端來.. 仲有叫咗個手卷遲遲未送上, 埋單話要cancel, 個侍應竟然連眼都唔眨就話廚房整緊!! 我頂, 我理得你, 我唔要就唔要啦.. 又唔係多人, 都唔明點解搞成咁, 而且侍應呆呆咁又唔follow-up.. 已經對呢間嘢大減30分..

went for lunch after gym with friend and he said he feel like eating japanese, we choosed this Sushi-Zen and ordered chicken katsu bento and curry chicken katsu rice.. food was OK but the service was totally disappointing.. ordered iced green tea but hot one was taken instead, and not until we have finished half of our rice the waitress slowly bring us our drinks after we reminded her.. we also ordered ebiko maki but that did not appear in the end, asked for the bill and to cancel this item, the waiter without hesitation responded (as if i did not know he is lying) that it's on the way.. well, i don't care, i do not want it now since i am done with my lunch!! just don't understand why the service was damn slow, there wasn't much customers, and the waiters did not even follow-up on the items.. i have already deducted 30 marks for this restaurant..

食完之後直飛戲院睇呢齣《They Wait》, 外國人用中國人橋段拍嘅一齣恐怖片.. 諸如鬼上身, 農曆七月鬼節, 厲鬼含冤尋仇, 鬼聲低吟做背景音樂, 高人指點破解, 都可以喺呢齣戲見到.. 我覺得拍得幾OK喎, 啲演員都演得唔錯(尤其個小朋友更是可見潛質), 不過略嫌就唔夠恐怖唔夠刺激.. 裡頭有幾個面孔熟悉嘅華人演員, 不過講到鬼片, 我始終覺得如果有羅蘭姐會更加完美囉, 哈哈~~

straight to the cinema after lunch to catch the movie "They Wait", a westerner directed horror film based on chinese supernatural believes.. plots common in chinese horror films like spirit attached to human body, seeing ghosts with raw eyes, the ghost month, spirit with hatred trying to search for revenge, eerie spirit humming as background music etc are all seen in the movie.. i personally think this was not bad at all, all acted quite well (and especially see big potential in the kid), however i think it's not as thrilled and as scary as i've expected.. quite some familiar chinese actors in the movie, but when it comes to this genre of movie, i always think it will only be perfect with the appearance of Lo Lan, the veteran HK actress, haha~~

17.01.2009 | 又肥又老

【又肥(咗)
友:「喂, 又大減價喇, 不如一齊去濕平啦..」
我:「都好喎, 橫掂我都想換返件新褲..」
友:「呢件?? 仲好新淨喎, 唔駛再換啦係嘛??」
我:「係換咗冇幾耐.. 但係又再覺得窄至弊哩~~」
友:「咁買啦買啦..」

【又(最)老】
友:「睇你blog上同成班同事啲相, 你係唔係年紀最大架??」
我:「癡線!! 梗唔係啦, 仲有兩個同事大過我架!!」
友:「哦???!!!」
我:「年紀唔係最大, 不過可以話資歷係最老嘅..」
(兩個星期後, 友人忽然MSN我)
友:「唔係哩, 我始終堅持你係同事之中最老嗰個囉!!」
我:「吓???!!!」


Being FATter
friend: "it's CNY sales, wanna go shopping together??"
me: "yeah why not?? i wanted to change a new pair of pants.."
friend: "oh?? but this one you are wearing still looks brand new.."
me: "no doubt i just bought this.. but it's getting tighter AGAIN!! haiz~~"
friend: " oh.. in that case.. yeah just get a new one then.."

Being OLDest
friend: "saw your photo taken with colleagues on your blog the other day..."
me: "oh you saw that.."
friend: " so, you the oldest amongst your colleagues, right??"
me: "of course not!! there are two colleagues who are older than me!!"
friend: "oh really??!!"
me: "yeah, i'm not oldest, but the eldest since i joined long before them.."
(two weeks later the friend MSN again)
friend: "i still insist that you are the oldest amongst your colleagues.."
me: "what??!!"

16.01.2009 | 我的籮柚

仲記唔記得2005年呢首全球大熱作品, Black Eyed Peas嘅《My Humps》啊?? 雖然好多專業樂評人都將佢彈到一仙不值, 但係呢首歌反而得獎無數, 贏盡全球人歡心.. 調皮歌詞配搭抵死歌詞應記一功, 我其實覺得主音Fergie可以唱成咁, 實在係頗成功囉.. 我仲記得同朋友喺K大唱呢首歌助興添, 哈哈!!

still remember the smash hit "My Humps" by Black Eyed Peas back in 2005?? i remember it received horrendous critics from the musicians, but on the other way it won loads of awards and more successfully won the hearts of people from the globe.. the naughty tunes and kinky lyrics combination should be the success factor, and i think Fergie has delivered a good job too.. still remember i even sang this song together with friends in karaoke, that was great fun, haha!!

兩年後嘅愚人節, 加拿大歌手Alanis Morissette失驚無神翻唱咗呢首歌, 仲拍埋MV.. 佢將整首歌改頭換面, 用返歌詞但係就重新賦予新旋律.. 一首好AM風格嘅慢板抒情版《My Humps》就此面世!! 雖然MV係純屬搞笑, 不過我其實覺得首歌係非常之正喎!! 我一向都欣賞AM架, 聽完呢首歌之後我直頭要對佢肅然起敬囉.. 佢冇講明改編嘅動機, 不過明眼人一睇就知佢喺度狠狠刮咗低俗嘻哈音樂一巴掌囉!! 果然係藝高人膽大, 好嘢!!

on april's fool day two years later, canadian artist Alanis Morissette covered the song out of a sudden, and even shot an MV on that.. re-using the original lyrics but given a brand new composition to it, and hence a very uniquely AM sentimental version of "My Humps" is published on her website and youtube to the world.. though the MV is more on the funny parody, but musical wise i really think this songs rocks!! i always think AM is good, after listening to this version of that smash hit, i gotta bow and throw my salute to her, she is heaven!! nobody knows what's her motive on the cover, but if you are smart enough it's not difficult to see that she is giving a big slap on the shallow hip-hop music!! you just need to be extra talented to be able to do this right?? two thumbs up AM!!

小道消息: 原唱Fergie聽過後, 同E!News表明話個翻唱好搞笑, AM的確係個天才, 仲送咗個屁股型蛋糕畀AM添!! :p
on april 15, Fergie confirmed to E!News that she thought that the parody was "hilarious" and "genius".. she also said that she sent AM a cake in the shape of a "derrière".. :p

15.01.2009 | 回憶飯局

今日放工後約咗兩位朋友KH同SY飯局, 兩位都係由細識到大嘅朋友, 廿幾年來依然保持聯絡.. 話題除咗大家近況之外, 都一路圍繞著小學啲同學仔.. 咁啱SY上個星期有出席小學20週年聚會, 之前咪有提過睇啲相有好多人唔認得嘅, 所以即刻上面卜摷返晒啲相, 經佢證實係他他他和他之後, 總算水落石出恍然大悟!! 之後當然就講返起以前好多趣事, 大家笑到碌地啦梗係..

KH:「想當年SY都算係我哋校草啊呵??」
SK:「係咩?? 唔係我咩乜??」
KH:「!!! ??? ...」{=_=}"
SK:「其實我應該係風頭人物, 唔係校草..」(發覺自己講錯嘢, 兜返)
KH:「咪就係好似CY咁, 係風頭人物不過唔係校花之嘛!!」

[後記: 飯局喺Suria KLCC頂樓間House of Sudanese, 冇乜特別, 不過今次飯局主要係同兩位舊朋友一聚, 所以齋貼相唔寫嘢喇..]
went dinner with two friends (KH and SY) after work, we have known each other since kids, and have been keeping in touch well more than 20 years.. our topic, besides what we are up to currently, was all surrounding mates from our elementary school.. and so happened that SY attended the elementary school 20th anniversary gathering, remember i mentioned there are a lot of faces i couldn't recognise from the photos? we immediately hooked on to facebook and search for the photos, after clarifying from SY those are him and her and him and her, the guesses finally cleared and realised how much they have changed!! of course we also talked about lots of funny incidents that happened during those good old days, ROTFLOL!!

KH: "i think SY was once the prince of our school huh??"
SK: "are you sure that wasn't me at all??"
KH: "!!! ??? ..." {=_=}"
SK: "well not prince, but perhaps the most popular.." (embarrassed)
KH: "yeah, just like CY is the most popular but she can never be the princess!!"

[p/s: dinner was at House of Sudanese, top floor Suria KLCC.. nothing special and furthermore the purpose of this meetup was to catch up with friends.. so just posting some photos here without writing anything on the food..]

14.01.2009 | 一日之間

一日之間睇清楚一個人, 日久見人心, 人前人後不同人..

一日之間睇清楚一個人, 拐彎抹角, 講一套做一套..

一日之間睇清楚一個人, 撩事鬥非, 推卸責任, 欺善怕惡, 奉上踩下..

一日之間睇清楚一個人, 強勢壓迫, 不明究竟, 不通情不達理..

醒覺危機四伏, 必需行事謹慎, 為自己披上甲衣..in just a day, learnt that a person is actually behaving differently in front of different people, the more you deal with the more you find problems with..

in just a day, learnt that a person is actually beating around the bush, say one thing but did something else different..

in just a day, learnt that a person is actually creating hoax, pushing away responsibility and accountability, flattering the stronger but belittling the weaker..

in just a day, learnt that a person is actually pushing with supreme power, not understanding, not reasonable and not empathetic..

realised that threats are everywhere, must be well-prepared with an amour stay vigilant..

13.01.2009 | 二十週年

上個星期六有個小學畢業20週年聚會, 但係因為某些原因未能夠出席.. 20年後(各位小朋友, 叔叔我年紀就係咁大喇, 唔錯, 不過年齡從來不是我的秘密嚟嘅!!)仲能夠聚埋一齊, 我覺得非常之難得囉!! 頭先喺面卜見到朋友post晒當晚啲相上去, 原來個場面都幾墟撼喎..

逐張相睇, 見返好耐都冇見面嘅朋友, 不過亦都有好多人都唔認得(講得難聽啲真係乜水啊你咁囉), 有啲真係唔識, 有啲真係走晒樣.. 不過見大家都非常之enjoy, 我似乎係錯過咗一次咁有意義嘅聚會喎!! 多謝主辦單位勞心勞力, 不如25週年再嚟多個吖, 五年後我應該可以減到肥嘅, 呵呵!! 各位同學, 你哋大家都好吖嘛??
there was a function last saturday that i could not make it due to some reasons, the 20th anniversary gathering for elementary schoolmates.. yes, it has been 20 years since we graduated (yeah, you can calculate my age, kid, age is never my secret anyway), and don't you think it was just a very precious moments to have everyone gathered together?? saw some photos taken during that night in facebook, the event was rather successful i would say..

was looking at the photos one by one, feel so good to see friends we have not met for a long time.. of course there are also loads of people i could not recognise, either i don't know them at all, or they have changed a lot over the years.. it's great to see everyone's enjoying themselves, kind of a waste that i couldn't make it to such a meaningful event!! anyway must thank the organisers for their great effort, why not have another one for the 25th anniversary?? i'm sure i would be able to loose weight and look good by then, hahaha!! so to all my fellow schoolmates out there, how has everything gone well??
天啊, 已是
OMG, that's
20年了!!!
years!!!

12.01.2009 | 虛假印象

幾日前同朋友傾傾吓偈, 原來佢哋由我個blog了解到我原來係一個咁嘅人.. 以下係我哋之間嘅對話, 引起大家嘅錯覺, 我是否應該減少寫呢啲題材嘅貼呢?? 呵呵 :)

印象(1) - 購物狂
友:「過新年著新衫, 你實係已經買晒啦!!」
我:「冇啊, 都有排未過年, 未買啊..」
友:「其實你咁多衫, 都唔怕過新年冇新衫著啦..」
我:「又唔係嘅, 不過以前買落未著啲都可以當新衫著嘅..」
友:「容不易啦, 你去自己個blog度摷返有啲咩衫未著過咪得囉..」
我:「..」{=_=}" [我係有需要先買咋!!]

印象(2) - 美食家
友:「食咩啊喂?? 你話事啦..」
我:「吓?? 我唔知喎, 呢度我都唔熟..」
友:「嘩, 咁講啊?? 你食家嚟喎..」
我:「傻啦, 我何得何能啊??」
友:「你個blog成日寫話去食好嘢, 仲唔係??」
我:「..」{=_=}" [我都係參考人家食評去食咋!!]
was chatting with friends couple of days ago, and found out that they concluded some impression on me from reading my blogs.. these were our conversation, that must be some delusion, perhaps i should write less on those topics?? haha.. :)

impression (1) - shopaholic
friend: "new year new clothes, guess you must have done your shopping already.."
me: "err, not really, it's ages till CNY yet, have not done my shopping actually.."
friend: "yeah, you have loads of them, no worries by the way.."
me: "maybe i can treat old stock but never worn before as new clothes, haha!!"
friend: "true, just refer back to your blog if you can't remember which ones!!"
me: "..." {=_=}" [i only buy when i need them!!]

impression (2) - gastronome
friend: "hey, what are we eating?? you suggest.."
me: "hmm, i have no idea at all, not familiar with this place.."
friend: "huh?? thought you are a gastronome who eats everywhere??"
me: "silly, i am not qualified for that anyway.."
friend: "but i always see you post entries on good food in your blog!!"
me: "..." {=_=}" [i referred to other people's review to those places!!]

11.01.2009 | 絲絲記憶

頭先下晝百無聊賴, 就想話開始新年大掃除, 結果喺某個陰暗角落發現某個箱, 箱面標明「XX中學課本」(當然XX係我個名啦, 唔好意思透露).. 其實已經徹徹底底咁遺忘咗呢箱嘢, 今日重見天日, 開箱一睇, 裡頭有課本+練習簿+考試試卷+紀念冊+其他瑣碎嘢.. 當然只係中學冇部份嘢, 我記得應該係好耐以前搬屋企時候filter過嘅..

原本想大掃除, 結果停晒手自己慢慢喺度睇返以前啲嘢.. 紀念冊啲文字寫得好感性, 其實而家睇返覺得好搞笑.. 練習簿啲習題, 我已經冇一題識得做, 原來以前我咁勁, 次次自己做完就借畀同學抄.. 仲有其他林審嘢, 我以前啲毛筆字寫得好靚, 設計一大堆美術小冊子都好正, 而家好似冇晒呢啲天份咗咁嘅?? anyway, 成個下晝坐住喺度翻, 的確勾起好多回憶, 我會盡全力繼續保留呢啲咁珍貴嘅物品.. :)
was a bit bored this afternoon while waiting for time to pass before i go out for appointment.. thinking of starting spring cleaning, and there i found a box lying in a corner, labelled "XX's high school textbooks" (of course XX is my name, not comfortable to reveal it here).. i have actually totally forgotten about this box of stuffs, opened up the box and found precious - textbooks, exercise books, exam papers, autographs and other little things.. of course they are only part of my high school stuffs, i supposed i have already filtered out during the time we moved to this house..

the spring cleaning ended up with myself sitting in the room looking back at all these books.. the way the autographs were written were so sentimental, kind of funny to read them now though.. questions on the exercise books, i don't even know how to answer a single one anymore, that was really incredible of me to finish them up and everytime loan to other classmates to copy my work.. other miscellaneous little stuffs, i could see how good i was in chinese caligraphy back then, and those heaps of brochures i designed and handmade, but where have all my talents gone now?? anyway, was spending my afternoon flipping through those stuffs, really bring back lots of memories during the good old days, will do my best to keep them for as long as they can last.. :)

10.01.2009 | 我愛豬肉

我覺得眾多肉類之中我都係最鐘意豬肉.. 今日忽然間又發豬瘟, 兩個星期前去咗兩間店都吃閉門羹, 所以今日保險啲揀咗商場內嘅呢間.. 因為商場內食肆係全年無休架嘛, 加上早前讀到某blog介紹呢間餐廳個評語都無錯咁啦..

叫咗以下呢四樣嘢, 全部都好唔錯.. 尤其個花腩肉片(張相睇落似叉燒, 不過絕對唔係), 直頭係非常之good啊, 第一道菜就已經叫人暈晒大浪, 必試!! 跟住就係個焗芝士煙肉蘑菇, 放入口一咬, 蘑菇新鮮得必晒汁混合著煙韌芝士, 感覺好幸福囉.. 唯一可以挑剔嘅係, 個蘑菇湯唔夠creamy同埋有落味精, 香腸唔夠脆口同埋個伴碟沙律菜絲切得很粗枝大葉..

叫咗兩壺熱茶, 埋單一共120蚊.. 閑外話題: 頭先見到有人點咗個鐵板海鮮意粉, 點解有呢啲咁food court嘅嘢架?? 印象分即刻減20.. 不過仲可以再次光臨嘅, 下次再叫多兩個人去試豬肉pizza同埋炸豬手..
Dave's Pizza Pasta & Vino, One Utama
[1] mushroom soup served with garlic breadstick 蘑菇湯配烘蒜蓉麵包
[2] cripsy panfried pork belly shavings with scrambled egg 脆口香煎花腩肉片配炒蛋
[3] cheese stuffed portebello mushroom topped with tomato salsa and bacon 焗芝士煙肉釀蘑菇
[4] gourmet pork sausage platter with sauteed vegetables 豬肉香腸拼盤配蔬菜

i think my favourite meat is still pork.. had a sudden crave for pork today, not wanted to be disappointed by the two shops i went and was closed few weeks ago, so decided to opt for this one in a shopping mall.. it's more guaranteed since eatery shops in shopping malls are opened throughout the year, and furthermore read about a blog giving good comments to the food too..

ordered the four dishes above, all are nice and satisfactory.. the best one should be the crispy panfried pork belly shavings (because they are shaved into thin slices, looked like char siew but definitely not), absolutely fantastic and the first dish was already heaven, must try!! next was the baked cheese stuffed mushroom, one bite in the mouth - the juice from the fresh mushroom just oozed out and mingled with the chewy cheese - another credit given.. the only complaints i can think of, mushroom soup wasn't creamy enough and a little MSG is used, pork sausages were a bit mushy for my liking and the cabbage was julienned far too fat..

ordered two pots of tea, the bill came up to RM120.. sidetalk a bit: saw a guy ordered a sizzling seafood spaghetti with mushroom gravy, OMG, that was so food-court, straight away i deducted 20 marks from that!! anyway, still worth to go for another visit, next time would like to invite two more friends to taste the pork pizza and pork knuckle..

09.01.2009 | 人肉柿餅

噚晚放工搭輕貼返屋企, 非常驚喜地嚟咗架空無一人嘅列車.. 平時唔多人都要一定要企架喇, 今日竟然係空車, 總算可以舒舒服服一路坐住到屋企咯.. 快手快腳揀咗個邊皮位一屁股坐低, 尤其我而家隻咁嘅環境, 真係好梳乎架..

誰知轉頭立即有個男人坐埋嚟隔離, 問題係佢好肥獅大隻, 5呎7身高但係過100kg體重囉.. 佢一坐低, 龐大身軀同巨躉即刻將鄰居唧去兩邊!! 噢賣葛, 我感到好大擠壓力, 成個人要縮埋一舊, 而且佢一陣十日冇沖涼嘅味道, 好想撼頭埋牆死咗去囉.. 想即刻起身但係逼到郁唔到, 而且咁做又好似會好hurt到佢哦呵?? 唉, 算啦, 我忍, 變成件人肉柿餅我都忍!! 不幸中大幸, 佢早我一站落車, 至少有幾分鐘時間畀我舒活下筋骨囉, 哈哈..

我想強調我並唔係歧視肥人.. 之不過畀著我哩, 我會有自知之明, 個位咁窄明知坐唔落, 就無謂逼埋落去囉, 整親人你話幾咁唔好呢, 啱唔啱??
taking the LRT back home after work last night, surprisingly there came an empty train.. normally would need to stand all the way till home, but with the empty train i can relax my leg and have a nice seat then.. quickly spotted a nice seat by the side and laid my fat butt down, especially with my injured toes, i really feel good that i can have a seat..

was enjoying myself when suddenly a huge guy came sitting next to me.. oh my, he was like 5'7" tall but weighs more than 100kg.. he came sat down, his enormous body and big round ass just pushed both his neighbours to the side!! OMG, i really feel the compression from him, squeezing myself to a tiny bit.. furthermore he smelled like he has not been taking shower for 10 days, i really felt like wanted to die.. i wanted to give away that seat immediately, but if i do that will that hurt his feeling?? well, forget it, i'll just withstand that for a while, though i'm almost as flat as a slice of sandwich ham.. luckily he got off a station before me, at least i still have sometime to relax my bones and flesh, haha!!

i wanted to stress that there is no discrimination here.. but if i were him, i will understand that such a narrow seat cannot accommodate my huge body, no point just forcefully sit down and create tough time for the other passengers, right?? :)

08.01.2009 | 腳傷纍纍

上個星期發生咗巨鐵擲腳趾事件之後, 我諗返起我呢對腳其實係鬼咁傷痕纍纍.. 身體其他部位所受過嘅傷唔講, 單係對腳, 我記得就有六次咁多囉, 破晒紀錄啊真係.. [注: 如果你嫌呢篇貼過長, 可以直接睇最後一段喎]

[1] 四歲嗰年某日, 喺屋企跑跑跳跳, 不知何解成隻腳板踩落舊鐵片上.. 呢, 以前啲大象嘜旋轉綠色蚊香, 有舊鐵片拗上嚟有個尖尖地方畀你插蚊香嘅.. 咪就係一嘢踩咗落去囉, 當時太細唔係幾記得喇, 淨係記得大喊一輪, 去屋企後邊間醫院包紮傷口..

[2] 幼稚院嗰年學校假期, 同表姐弟喺屋企玩.. 好厲害啊我, 擒上張碌架床扮超人, 一嘢跳落嚟企唔穩, 右腳成個膝頭捍落地.. 即刻一額汗一臉青, 之後大喊一輪.. 最記得家姐下下都要孭我去睇醫生睇鐵打.. 碎咗啲骨, 足足搞咗成個月幾啊, 陰公!! 不過我家姐仲陰公啦呵? :p

[3] 小學三年班, 屋企廚房係用煤氣嘅, 當時一個煤氣桶有3尺幾高15公斤重.. 記得當時懶叻幫手換桶, 結果搬運嘅時候成個桶擲落我左邊腳趾公, 痛得夭心夭肺.. 同最近呢次好雷同, 成只腳趾公瘀腫晒, 之後成塊腳甲仲脫埋出嚟添..

[4] 去到中四喇, 某日放學同個同學玩, 唔記得玩咩, 不過記得係推嚟推去嘅游戲(?!).. 推推下佢一用力(我以前仲係好瘦架, 推得倒架:p), 將我成個人推出幾米外.. 企唔穩一叉錯腳, 右腳即刻拗柴!! 結果跛下跛下自己搭巴士返屋企, 腳腕隨即腫到似豬頭, 阿媽被逼的我去睇鐵打.. 我仲記得呢位同學係林Fing-Fing(化名)架!!

[5] 舊年嘅事, 發生喺同一間gym內.. 落踩步機嘅時候, 唔小心畀個stepper刮親, 脛骨冇乜肉嗰邊啊.. 刮得都幾深架, 起咗成塊肉出嚟, 梗係鮮血直流啦.. 嗱嗱聲沖完涼之後去藥房買膠布嚟貼.. 第一塊貼冇五分鐘已經幫唔到手, 要貼第二塊, 然之後搵個地方坐低提高隻腳, 大概五分鐘後先搞掂.. 到而家個傷印都仲喺度唔散囉..

[6] 就係上個星期嗰次, 畀舊20kg重嘅鐵捍落腳趾度, 詳細故事請閱舊貼.. 而家腳趾公仲係包紮緊, 第二同第三隻腳趾正在消腫緊, 不過行路已經冇問題喇, 多謝大家關心.. :)

希望唔會再有受傷喇, 怕怕.. 今年開年見血, 衰運全止, 鴻運接踵而來啊!! 哈哈~~
the weight-plate-dropped-on-my-toes injury incident last week reminded me about the injuries happened on my pair of legs all these while.. not mentioning injuries on other parts of my body, my pair of legs alone had experienced 6 injuries so far, really record-breaking huh? [note: if you think this post is too long, please jump straight to the last paragraph]

[1] at age of 4, was hopping and running around the house, have no idea why i stepped onto a piece of sharp metal.. recall those days when we used that elephant brand spiral green mosquito repeller?? that always come with a metal where you flip for a sharp portion to hold the repeller?? that was what i stepped onto.. was just a kid then, i just remember i cried loud and was sent to the hospital behind my house, bandaged and went home..

[2] during a break in the kindergarten year, was playing with cousins at home.. i was so brave to climb up the double-decker bed, trying to fly like Superman.. there i jumped from the top, not able to land stably, my right knee just stomped hard onto the floor.. cold sweat and pale face, i cried loud again.. still remember my sis had to carry me to see doctor and the chinese orthopedics all the time.. a little fracture on the knees, i think took me more than a month to recover, poor thing i was!! but even poorer was my sis i supposed? :p

[3] one fine day in grade 3, we were using gas in the kitchen, back then the gas tanks were about 3ft tall and 15kg heavy.. i remember helping (geh poh) to replace the empty tank with new one, when suddenly the whole tank stomped onto my left big toe, that was really painful.. very similar to the recent incident actually, the toe just bleed and got swollen immediately, the whole piece of nail even came off few days later..

[4] all the way to high school, one fine day after classes in year 4.. was fooling around with a classmate, can't remember what we did but it was with some intentional pushes.. a few pushes and he suddenly pushed me quite forcefully (i was pretty slim back then, no surprise he can push me so effortlessly :p), and there i was pushed away few metres away, didn't stand steadily and landed with my right ankle twisted!! poor me gotta get home by bus alone, dragging the sprained ankle.. back home and the whole thing went swollen and puffy, only to get mum to bring me to the chinese orthopedics.. i still remember clearly who the classmate was, Mr Lim Fing-Fing he is (nickname intended)!!

[5] one day last year, it happend in the same gym.. was getting off the walking machine, and my right leg was hit by the stepper at the shinbone part with little flesh.. cut quite deeply and a little piece of flesh was ripped off.. bleeding of course, quickly showered and walked to the pharmacy to get some plaster.. first piece was not able to stop the blood for even 5 minutes, not until i changed a fresh piece and tilted my leg slight up and stay there for another 5 minutes.. the mark is still seen on my legs, wonder why it hasn't gone away??

[6] happened just last week, right toes were hit by the 20kg weight plate, see the older post for detailed story.. still have the big toe bandaged, 2nd and 3rd toes slowly recovering from swell.. anyway able to walk more elegantly now, no more limp.. thanks for all those who showed care!! :)

hopefully these are all the injuries, i have phobia for another more.. see blood in the beginning of the year, symbolises all bad luck stop and only good ones coming, haha :p

07.01.2009 | 飄洋過海

早前托香港同事幫我帶嘢過嚟, 噚日終於安排見面收到我啲嘢喇.. 每次收到風話有香港同事過嚟, 都必定托同事幫我買CD, 因為呢度未必有得買, 再加上價錢平啲而且包裝又靚啲.. 話時話, 我嘅個人CD收藏, 都應該有200張以上喇, 就係唔知點解硬係對於CD有種莫名嘅情意結..

tap on to a HK colleague to help me bring back something while she's back in KL for holiday, finally met up with her and collected my goodies.. everytime i heard about any HK colleagues coming to KL, i will never miss the chance to get them to buy me music CDs.. first of all, i might not be able to find them here, furthermore price is cheaper and packaging is a lot better if i bought them from HK directly.. come to think about it, my personal CD collection has already gone more than 200 pieces, just couldn't explain why i have such obsession on CDs..
同事噚日畀咗個大袋我, 原來裡邊有同事兼好友JC送我嘅聖誕禮物.. 之前臨時臨急畀張清單佢, 要佢左仆右仆幫我買嘢, 已經非常之感激啦.. 估唔到佢狡猾啊, 事先話我知我要嘅嘢冇貨, 原來係自己靜雞雞買落做禮物送畀我, 多謝晒JC!! 一下買咗咁多(呢3支再加其他2支), 我塊面都應該有排可以好好呵護咯.. 不過好可惜, 我生成唔係屬於水噹噹肌膚囉, 唉!!

the colleague passed me a big bag yesterday, only to find out there's a present from JC (my HK colleague and good friend) in it.. was kind of rush when i gave JC my shopping list, made her running errands for me in the last minutes was really a great appreciate from me.. and she was cunning, she told me the product i wanted was out of stock, didn't know that she actually bought it and gave it to me as present, million thanks to JC!! got a sudden surge of supply (this 3 pieces and another 2 pieces), guess my face is gonna be pampered for quite some time.. but sadly, i don't have radiant smooth delicate skin type..

06.01.2009 | 卡通世界

記得小學每一年都要寫《我的志願》, 記得有一年寫咗將來大個要做個動畫家.. 我覺得好特別噃, 當大家重複又重複咁每年都寫醫生律師工程師嘅時候, 我就嚟個前衛啲嘅.. 動畫家畫卡通, 比作家更犀利, 因為識得畫公仔; 比畫家更厲害, 因為識得作古仔; 比漫畫家更全面, 因為識得做動作效果.. 當然呢個志願當時係好另類, 所以得唔到傳統老師嘅歡心, 未有得貼堂, 哈哈..

我個年代都有好多卡通角色架, 不過事隔已久, 阿伯我好多都唔記得晒喇.. 以下呢啲算係比較經典嘅, 諗咗好耐先記得返嚟.. 你嗌得出佢哋叫咩名嗎?? 而你最favourite嘅又係邊一隻呢?? 唔怕煩再搭多條問題, 唔知而家啲細路識唔識得佢哋呢?? :)
i still remember we have to write a composition on "my ambition" every year during elementary school, and there was once i wrote about being a cartoonist when i grow up.. i think that was quite unique actually, while everyone was repeatedly writing about doctor lawyer engineer every year, i came out with something different.. a cartoonist, slightly more talented than a writer because i can draw, slightly more capable than a paintist because i can create stories, slightly more well-rounded than a comic writer because i am putting in animation and effects.. anyway this was of course quite an alternative ambition back then, not really bought-in by the conventional teachers, so didn't score high like i expected actually..

quite a lot of cartoons during my good old childhood days, but it has been too long ago, and uncle (that is, me!!) has already forgottem most of them already.. some of the more classic and popular ones i could think of was shown above, how many of them can you name?? and which one of them was (or is still) your favourite?? one more final question if you can still take it, wonder if kids nowadays know any one of them?? :)

05.01.2009 | 自制音樂

我除咗鐘意買CD(要注明係正版CD!!)嚟收藏之外, 得閑嘅時候都會鐘意自己整CD.. 將精心篩選過啲歌編輯成一張CD, 然之後整返個靚靚CD面, 驟睇落去都真係幾可亂真架.. 當然我唔係大量生產嘅翻版商, 絕對不作商業上用途, 唔會用嚟牟取任何利益噃, 所以千其唔好拉我啊!!

其實只不過係攞啲心機出嚟, 自己親手整畀朋友, 當係小小禮物咁啦.. 自己落手落腳由零開始, 到最後製成品呈現眼前, 的確覺得好有成就感囉.. 各位收過我自制CD嘅朋友們, 你哋手上擁有嘅係全世界獨一無二嘅限量版"haute couture"CD, 僅此一家, 第度係絕對搵唔到架!! 收埋十年, 話唔定小弟我到時成名之後, 會價值連城架, 哈哈~~
i love buying music CDs (and i gotta stress it's original CD ok??) and keep them as my personal collection, at the same time i do love to handmade my own music CDs as well.. will compile those songs i carefully hand-picked and burn them into a CD, and then create my very own CD label for them, don't you think they just look very real and professional?? of course i am not mass producing them like piracy syndicates, i don't sell them and never used them in any commercial purpose to earn money, so don't ever sue me ok??

actually i do all these just as little gifts to friends, with heart and sincerity, as my token of appreciation of the friendship.. started from scratch, and when the finished product appears right in front of my eyes, i just feel so proud of myself actually, hehe!! to those who had received my handmade CDs, just to let you know those CDs you are holding are uniquely "haute couture" CDs you can never find elsewhere in this earth.. keep them safe and perhaps 10 years later when i become popular, these CDs could be of infinite value!! haha~~

04.01.2009 | 手機游戲

手機嘅內置游戲已經玩厭晒, 呢兩日腳傷導致行動不便做咗兩日宅男, 所以終於「記得抽時間」去下載啲新游戲喇.. 下載咗幾隻游戲, 至少有排我玩幾個月啦, 搭輕鐵可以唔駛咁悶喇..

我天生唔係游戲高手, 記得讀書時候, 同學仔唔係屋企有機打, 就會約埋一班落機鋪打幾.. 當時自己反應超遲鈍, 好快就game over, 反而同學仔入五毫子就可以玩足成日.. 仲有仲有, 唔怕醜講句, 我淨係識玩啲超簡單超白癡超cutie嘅游戲, 呢度跳吓嗰度閃吓, 食生果錢幣蘑菇等等得分之類嘅游戲.. 如果要我又郁joystick又摁掣去控制, 呢呢呢, 街頭霸王嗰啲暴力打交游戲啊, 我實喺三秒中內畀對手打死..

我就係玩呢啲老少咸宜嘅游戲架喇, 你睇得出我係個善良+溫和+斯文+內斂嘅人嗎?? 哈哈..
already bored with the pre-installed games in my mobile phone, while staying at home these two days (due to my toes injury) i finally "remember to spend some time" to download some new games for my mobile phones.. got myself a few ones, at least enough to last for a few more months later, to help kill time while commuting in LRT to work..

i was never gifted with the talent in playing all these animation games.. still remember during school days, classmates if not having their own set of machines, would then go to arcades for games.. i joined them couple of times, was so not skillful till i almost immediately game over everytime, while classmates can sit there and play for the whole day by only feeding the machine 50 sen!! and paiseh to tell, i can only play those simple and dumb and cutie games, jump here a bit avoid there a bit, run through fruits/mushrooms/coins to earn points kind of games.. if you want me to control both the joystick and buttons, you know, those street fighter kind of violent fighting games, i will for sure KO within 3 seconds..

so those are the type of games i'm into, looking at them perhaps you can already see how a kind hearted + soft spoken + subtle + witty kind of person i am?? haha~~

03.01.2009 | 腳傷宅男

因為腳趾受傷之故, 今日做咗一日宅男.. 平時週末我必定顧住去街唔會留喺屋企, 不過因為行動不便, 所以一整日都留喺間房度.. 蘊喺間房可以做乜?? 咪就係上網睇blog, 玩手機游戲同埋瞓覺囉!! 真係超悶, 悶到傍晚時分快發癲, 朋友叫我出去食嘢, 就算行路要gut吓gut吓, 連續三日都係去食碳煮福建麵, 我都照殺無誤!!

大腳趾已經止血喇, 而家係偶爾滲出血水, 冇乜大礙喇, 多謝所有關心嘅朋友.. 反而係第二隻腳趾瘀種到豬頭咁, JY仲要笑我隻腳趾, 哼!! 日望夜望, 嗱嗱聲好返啦, 我唔想星期一要踢住對拖去返工囉, imagine一身醒神OG打扮, 下搭一對九唔搭八嘅拖鞋, 噢賣葛, 係幾咁核突, 幾咁唔似我哩~~because of that hoodoo injury on my toes, i was made an unbelievable homely boy today.. i will always go somewhere and never stay at home during my normal weekends, but due to the inconvenience move, i gotta stay in my room for the whole day - surfing net, reading blogs, play games on mobile phones and sleeping!! that was so pitifully boring, i was so bored until late evening when my friend asked me out for dinner, i accepted without hesitation, even though i still walk like a limp and that will be the third consecutive day of having hokkien mee for dinner!!

thanks for those who showed concern and care, my big toe is getting a lot better, stop bleeding already but occasionally some blood fluid (not blood exactly, but somehow fluid with blood or something like that you know, i do not know the term) being secreted.. anyway the 2nd and 3rd toes are still swollen big with clogged blood, JY even joked that they look like pig head, how dare hng!! i just hope they will recover soonest possible, i just do not want to wear slippers to work on monday.. imagine wearing my smart set of office attire, and down there matching an uncouth pair of flip-flop, that is just so cina, and so not me~~

02.01.2009 | 紅到發紫

今日係2009第一個工作天, 特意請假唔返工, 取其「唔懮做」之意, 不過呢個新年似乎唔係好友善噃, 踏入第二日即刻就畀我一個下馬威.. 話說今日喺gym運動, 原本要拎個20kg嘅weight plate, 都唔知撞咩鬼, 一下子跣手, 成舊鐵就咁揼落我啲腳趾上.. 你想像下舊20kg重嘅鐵, 由腰間嘅高度, 一嘢捍落腳趾度, 心寒啦嘛?? 成排腳趾當堂痺晒好似失去知覺咁, 頭三只腳趾腫晒, 跟住個腳趾公就開始流血不止喇!!

我記得事發當時係晏晝三點半, 一直想辦法止血, 但係始終要行路架嘛, 一行起路個腳趾公又再度鮮血暗涌.. 果真唔係小事囉, 最後決定去睇醫生, 護士替我包紮之後都仲係繼續流血.. 之後去食晚餐(係福建炒啊, 民以食為天吖嘛), 跟住去藥房買紗布之類嘅嘢, 返到屋企, 個包紮已經一片血紅.. 拆開之後, 其實裡頭已經開始止血喇, 自己清理之後再包靚佢.. 腳趾公而家就冇乜事喇, 不過第二同第三腳趾已經瘀腫到豬頭咁, 開始有啲痛囉!! 而家行路種要跛吓跛吓咁, 陰公!!

唉, 真係當黑!! 不過算啦, 都係小事, 應該係之前去拜過神, 所以有神庇祐, 將血光之災縮小係隻腳趾公上囉, 一切已經逢凶化吉喇, 惜福惜福!! 啊, 仲有多謝友人JY今日一路喺身邊照顧, 好感動好感激好鬼愛你啊朋友, 嘿嘿~~ :p
it's the first working day of year 2009, purposely took a day off from work, to symbolise that i don't have to work like hell for the year, haha!! but this new year didn't seem to be quite friendly to me, just on the 2nd day and it has shown me some power.. was working out in the gym this afternoon, wanted to take a 20kg weight plate, but in no way could i ever expect the plate to slip from my hand and drop right onto my toes.. just imagine a 20kg heavy iron dropping from waist height onto your toes, oouchh!! immediately i feel a numb on all my toes, and soon later the big toe began to bleed, PROFUSELY!!

i still remember it was 3:30pm, was trying all means to try to stop the toe from bleeding.. but still i need to walk to leave the place, and once i tried to walk it started to bleed again.. started to think it's quite serious and finally went to a clinic to get help.. the nurse bandaged my toes but it still bleed.. went for hokkien mee for dinner later (haha, still need to eat anyhow right??), then to the pharmacy to get some bandage and anticeptics.. went home had a shower, and unwrap the toe, bandaged has already soaked with blood.. anyway the toe has started to heal and stop bleeding, i clean the wound and bandaged it myself, feel cleaner now.. anyway, big toe seems ok now, but the second and third toes are now hugely swollen with clogged blood i could see, feeling a bit painful somemore!! have to walk like a limp now, OMG!!

that's really bad luck of me!! anyway, just small matter, perhaps because i've prayed at the buddha few days ago, and buddha has transferred something supposed to be seriously big onto my little toe here?? so, now it has happened and that's all, it's over and end!! last but not least, millions of thanks to JY for being there to help and care so selflessly, fetching me to clinic pharmacy and home, i really appreciate that a lot, love you million heaps buddy, hehe :p

01.01.2009 | 喜迎零玖

告別08年之後, 今日喜迎09年嘅第一日, 冇咩特別嘅感覺.. 同平時週末一樣, 喺屋企hae咗成大半日, 之後就同朋友去整番個盲人按摩, 舒筋活絡之後, 整番餐碳炒福建麵晚餐, 就咁一日喇.. 平淡到我覺得是乎嘥咗個所謂嘅元旦日, 其實呢一日係唔係應該轟轟烈烈咁過嘅呢我喺度諗??

新年新蒸頭, 大多數人都會循例地為自己定下新年目標, 係好事嚟嘅, 之不過定下咁多目標, 明年今日再次回顧, 其實又有幾多係實現得到呢?? 我以往都會有呢啲所謂嘅new year resolution, 不過事到如今好似仲有成籮攝喺床底, 係唔係應該摷返出嚟重複多一次呢??

點都好, 我腦內依然係有新年願望嘅, 希望呢次能夠得米啦!! 勾個手指尾, 放長雙眼~~ 但願大家都能夠願望成真啦.. :)
soon after bidding farewell to 2008, we are welcoming the first day of year 2009 today, nothing special or exciting that happened to me actually.. as normal as an usual weekend, laze around the house for almost half of a day, only dragged out to have a good massage by the blind, get myself totally relaxed and wrapped up the day with delicious charcoal cooked hokkien mee for dinner.. so uneventful till i kind of think that this new year day has been wasted, wonder if this special day should actually be utilised more meaningfully??

new year new hope, customarily most of the people will set their own new year resolutions, i would say this is something good.. however having set all those resolutions, and reviewing the year by today next year, how many of those that could actually been fulfilled?? i always have my new year resolutions for the past years, but i think all have been kept deep inside the drawer, wonder if i should dig them out and REPEAT yet another time??

anyway, i still have something in mind for my new year, hopefully they can be fulfilled then!! finger cross, wait and see~~ hope all your new year resolutions to come true too.. :)
