29.07.2010 | 講飲講食

	喺外邊食嘢, 有冇留意到你杯飲品極有可能係「假」架呢?? 依家做生意, 講求方便快捷高利潤, 好多時候都係色素+調味整出嚟嘅化學飲品, 連最基本嘅涼茶都可以係沖調出嚟嘅.. 咁係唔係淨飲清水最安心呢?? when you dine out, have you noticed your cup of drink could most probably be a "fake" one?? business today tend to aim for fast, convenient and high profit, hence most of the time the drinks are just chemicals made from colorings + flavorings.. even the most basic herbal tea and barley can be prepared from concentrates, guess the safest would be only drinking plain water??
	當我睇到呢個cheezels新產品廣告嘅時候, 我就誓要一試.. 好喇, 某日超市見到買咗包嚟試, 結果有期望就有失望, 啲餅得層面有味道, 裡面係淡架囉, 而且食落去又會癡牙, 唔好食!! 新不如舊, 都係佢啲芝士圈好食囉.. when i saw the ads on cheezels new product, i instantly have an urge to try it out.. so i bought a pack, but got quite disappointed (maybe because of expectation?).. the biscuit is just bland with only some flavour on the surface, and after eating the biscuits lumps stuck on crown of my teeth, gotta use toothpicks to clean up.. boh hor jiak, i think their cheese rings are a lot nicer..
	食嘢嘅時候, 你有冇一個習慣就係話將啲嘢逐樣分開食架呢?? 譬如話先食咗塊面包, 跟住食晒啲沙律, 跟住薯條, 最後先慢慢享受舊扒咁呢?? 我有時候都會咁樣架, 最好嘅留返最後先至食, 哈哈!! when you are eating, do you have a habit to eat the food separately?? for example you will finish the bread first, followed by clearing off the salad, then the fries, and finally only slowly enjoying your piece of steak?? hmmm, i dopractice this sometimes, tend to save the best for last, especially my favourite food.. and yes, i am definitely a typical carnivore, haha!!

23.07.2010 | 黃金十年

仲記得2000年7月24日係我入行第一日, 今日足足喺呢一行打滾滿10年(!!)喇.. 果真係不經不覺, 醒起都一額汗~~

其實冇諗過自己會做IT呢行, 中學畢業有打算讀建筑設計, 唔記得後來點解跟咗班同學去讀電子工程, 拎到張沙紙之後又無端端應徵做programmer.. 嗰一日開始由低做起, 一做就係10年, 當中甜酸苦辣, 高低起伏, 百般滋味.. 10年一關口, 我唔覺自己有咩成就, 再5年再10年, 我又會何去何從呢??


i still remember it was 24th July 2000 when i started working in this industry, and today marks precisely a full 10-year (!!) i have been working in this line.. it certainly is something easily slipped off your mind, but a shock whenever you realised..

i never have thought i would end up in IT.. i actually kind of wanted to go for architecture in high school, but due to can't-remember-what reason i followed a gang of mates to pursue electronic engineering, and finally got hired as a programmer.. since then i started from the entry level, experience through combinations of ups & downs and likes & hatred over the past decade.. if 10 years is a milestone, i don't think i have any great achievement, given another 5 years and then 10 years, i ask where will i be then??

21.07.2010 | 開口夾脷

• 真係開口夾著脷.. 上星期咪話每日都攞支探熱針嚟玩嘅, 結果好嘅唔靈醜嘅靈, 前日晚真係病咗添!! 頭疼+咳+燒到成39°C, 呢啲係唔係叫做"犯賤"呢??
• 噚日朝早一起身就去睇醫生, 登記後等醫生等咗一個鐘!! 原來平時睇開個醫生放假, 換咗另外一個(遲晒大到嘅)醫生!! 姑娘又唔早響, 早知係另外一個醫生我都費事等啦..
• 呢個醫生好懶囉, 同病人檢查竟然要吩咐病人郁動, 自己就坐定定自己個位度郁都唔郁.. 唔怪之得咁肥啦佢.. 不過見佢開啲藥都幾有效, 算啦..

• you call this coincidence or what?? remember last week i was talking about my new thermometer "toy" that i use to measure myself everyday?? so it happened that i really fell sick the night before yesterday, headache + cough + fever at 39°C.. or you call this "black magic"??
• went to the clinic yesterday morning, registered but waited for an hour for the doctor to get to work!! the nurse didn't tell me that the doctor i used to see is on vacation and there will be another (not punctual) doctor, or else i wouldn't even wanted to wait there thinking of seeing the same doctor..
• and this doctor i saw is such a lazy one, he ordered me to move forward and backward and turning around for him to check my body, while he just sit on his chair without swifting an inch.. no wonder he's so fat!! anyway, i'm not going to hate him since the medicine he prescribed is quite effective..

19.07.2010 | 購物隨談

同朋友一齊去濕平, 通常個結果會係: 朋友一揪二lung, 我空手而歸.. 就係唔知點解, 每次同人結伴我都買唔到嘢, 反而係朋友經我魔鬼般慫恿後, 連唔想買嘅都全部買埋, 哈哈!! 如果自己一個人去濕平, 反而可能會滿載而歸喎.. if i go shopping with friends, the likely ending would be: friends bought a lot and i end up empty handed.. don't know why, everytime there's a companion, i can't normally get anything for myself, instead under my evil persuasion, friends grab more things they never intended to buy, haha!! on the other hand, if i go shopping alone, chances is that i'm able to get things for myself..

就上個星期日之嘛, 自己單拖去濕平, 結果當然係收穫甚豐滿載而歸啦.. 好耐都冇試過咁豪架喇, 一次過買六件衫褲咁多.. 因為我急需好多新size屎嘅新衫(畫公仔唔駛畫出腸, 你知咩事架啦), 哈哈!! 不過值得慶幸嘅係, 我唔係個名牌奴唧~~ so it was last sunday that i was alone doing shopping, and of course i managed to get myself damages.. it has been long that i have not been so wild in getting 6 pieces of clothes in one go!! that's because i'm in desperate need of new clothes with new sizes (understood why right??), haha.. anyway, i should feel lucky that i am not a brand whore~~

16.07.2010 | 雜談三則

	上個月生日, 保險公司送咗支電子探熱針畀我, 我覺得自己果然係新屎坑囉, 每日早晚為自己探熱各一次.. 講到底其實都唔係要探熱, 係貪新鮮貪得意啫.. 或者博自己「可以」發吓燒咁, 請病假唔駛返工?? 哇哈哈~~ got a digital thermometer from the insurance company for my birthday last month, and since then i've been measuring my temperature once every day and night.. frankly it's not because i really want to measure, but because it's such a cute tool to use.. and perhaps also because i hope i "can" fall sick and take a day off from work?? muahahaha~~
	每次飲茶或咖啡或朱古力或麥片等熱飲, 你會唔會習慣話, 每咬一啖餅之前, 先要點一點熱飲?? 又或者整碎舊餅之後, 全部浸入杯熱飲度呢?? 我就種意後者, 尤其麥片配麥餅, 麥餅浸到軟稔稔, 同麥片好夾架~~ when you enjoy hot beverages like tea or coffee or chocolate or cereal drinks, do you like to dip your biscuit into the drink before every bite?? or even crush that biscuit and dump everything into the drink?? i like the latter one, especially when it comes to cereal and wheat biscuit, i love to soak the biscuit till soft, as it really goes well with the cereal drink~~
	我放工返到屋企, 都係最後一個食晚餐.. 至憎見到啲餸留返貓食都唔飽嘅份量(譬如成碟餸得兩片菜葉).. 唔係話嬲留咁少畀我, 而係淨啲咁多不如索性唔好留, 食埋落肚跟住洗埋個碟啦.. 我食兩片葉要洗成隻碟, 講唔過去囉~~ i'm always the last one to have dinner back home after work.. hate to see leftover that are not even enough for a cat (eg: two pieces of vege leaves on the plate), not to say i'm unhappy for not leaving me with more dishes, but since that's so little, might as well just finish up and bring the plates to wash.. i just ate that tad little and need to wash that big plate, kind of unjustifiable right??

14.07.2010 | 處處留歡

雖然我成日話面卜無聊, 不過有時真係無聊到非常爆笑, 搞到我不得不與大家分享.. 就好似呢個like功能, 係好多懶得留言嘅朋友嘅最好工具.. 不過大佬, 你like還like吖, 唔係話不分青紅皂白隨便亂like一輪架嘛.. 好似以下例子, 我就覺得好@#$%^囉, 哈哈~~

although i always say facebook is boring, but there are times when i realised it's too funny things bored people do that i must share with everyone here.. for example the like feature, which comes very handy for the lazy people.. but please lah, if you want to use that feature, don't just simple like any status for no reason.. look at the few cases below, and you will agree with me that those likes are just too @#$%^ right?? haha~~

[無奈] 人家好聲好氣問意見, 好明顯只需答係定唔係啦.. 失驚無神嚟個like, 都唔知想點?? 畀咩反應好啊?? [helpless] and it's very obvious this is asking for opinion, expecting just a yes or no kind of answer.. i find it really helpless with this sudden like, i really do not know what response to give..

[難解] 午餐食咗乜東乜西都有人like嘅?? 我真係唔明囉, 人家午餐食咩屙咩又關佢叉事呢其實?? [puzzled] the status said what was eaten for lunch, and there's somebody who likes it.. i really find that quite incomprehensible, what's the point??

[震驚] 嚇?? 人家又發燒又感冒又肚屙喎, 唔留言祝人家早日康復, 反而仲要like添?? 攞景兼贈興咩?? @_@" [shocked] what?? saw someone suffering from fever+flu+diarrhoea and not even care to leave a get-well-soon comment but just like instead?? oh my, this is so not sympathetic!! @_@"

12.07.2010 | 再三點六

噚日gym完覺得肚餓, 突然醒起星山廣場嘅「3.6下午茶促銷」(餐牌上每款RM3.60).. 兩星期前試過覺得唔錯, 當時一支公都唔知去邊好, 所以就決定前往解決午餐+晚餐.. 今次我勁啊, 非常之*唔覺意*嘅情況下連去兩間餐廳!! 總共叫咗四份食兩份飲, 兩張單合共RM24.80, 結果成日唔再需要食嘢, 好滿足~~ :)

yesterday after working out in the gym, i felt hungry and suddenly i recalled the "3.6 afternoon tea promotion" (all dishes on menu at RM3.60) at starhill gallery.. tried that two weeks ago and think it's not bad at all, and hence while being alone i decided to do my lunch plus dinner there.. this time round i was real powderful as i *accidentally* went to two restaurants in a row!! ordered 4 dishes and 2 drinks, two bills cost me only RM24.80 in total.. as a result i didn't need to eat anymore for the day, so satisfied~~ :)

08.07.2010 | 例牌兩餐

今日講吓我平日返工時候嘅早餐同午餐啦, 係, 我知好無聊~~ 不過我犀利喺邊呢?? 犀利在我係每日都同樣一款早餐同午餐喇!! 點解?? 咪就係因為懶得去諗要食咩囉, 哈哈!! 每日就係好標準咁, 唔駛諗, 雖然係好寡, 但係總好過費神啦~~ :D today i'll talk about my breakfast and lunch on my working days, and yeah, i know it's stupid~~ but what's so special about that?? surprise, these are things that i'm having for the same everyday!! why?? because i'm too lazy to think of what to eat, haha!! it's like a default everyday without need of thinking, bland though, at least better than to crack my head what to eat~~ :D

[早餐] 牛奶+雜谷+乳酪.. 應該係2002年度就開始咁樣食到而家喇, 犀利呀哩?? 其實都幾佩服自己有咁嘅定力同意志架, 雖然話有時係好恨食番包熱辣辣嘅「辣死你媽」嘅~~ [breakfast] muesli with milk and yogurt.. i guess i started with this since 2002 and still eating this till now, powderful yeah?? i really am proud of my determination and will power to keep up with this, though sometimes i do crave for piping hot nasi lemak a lot~~

[午餐] 麵包+果醬+芝士.. 最近幾個月先開始嘅, 因為公司附近食晏唔多方便, 而且一去一回, 一身油煙味同身水身汗返嚟, 有啲唔喜歡.. 午餐就冇咁定力喇, 偶然都會出去食吓其他嘢嘅~~ [lunch] jam and cheese sandwich.. started with this few months back, because it's quite inconvenient to have lunch around office area.. i don't like getting back to office all sweaty and smell like cooking.. anyway, not really that straight for lunch, i do occassionally go out for something more interesting though~~

05.07.2010 | 津津樂讀

page 頁

三個月前一口氣買咗三本書(其實係要買夠一百蚊貪個九折, 嘻嘻!!), 三個月時間理應都已經睇晒三本書喇, 但係事與願違, 目前進度係第一本都未睇過一半, 真係失禮晒.. [繼續 >>] bought three books at one go three months back (actually just wanted to get 10% discount with purchase of RM100 and above, haha!!), by right i should have finished reading all of them, but shamefully, i have not even finished reading half of the first book, what a shame.. [continue >>]

我諗進度咁慢嘅原因係因為揀錯開始閱讀嘅第一本.. 初時係被形容為"傳奇性第一銷量小說"同改篇成電影所吸引, 不過之後覺得本書其實好悶唔係我杯茶.. 太過細膩而且節奏超慢, 好多毫無重要性嘅描述, 太多人物角色而且鐘意鐘意就突然轉場面, 有時我都覺好混淆.. 不過都係仍然掙扎住要睇晒佢, 算係畀個機會, 希望後邊會精彩啲.. [繼續 >>] i think the reason for being slow is because i chosed the wrong book to start with.. i was attracted by this "#1 phenomenal bestseller" that was also adapted as a motion picture, but i just realised this book is boring and not my cup of tea.. too many details without interesting plot, too much around-the-bush description, too many characters and jumping abruptly between scenes that i find confusing.. anyway, i'm still struggling to finish reading it, giving it a chance as i hope it'll get more interesting.. [continue >>]

熱切期待可以儘快睇晒第一本, 跟住我會繼續睇呢一本喇.. 呢本係寫實作品, 係由一位餐廳侍應將佢所知嘅餐廳幕前幕後事件同經驗, 大鑊大鑊爆晒出嚟!! 我覺得應該好有趣, 裡面應該有好多鮮為人知嘅嘢, 期待!! 呢位匿名侍應其實有自己嘅blog添架, 咪搞笑~~ [繼續 >>] can't wait to finish reading the first book and i plan to continue with this second one which is the dairy of a waiter, who tells everything he knows and experienced in the restaurants he work for - front-end and back-end.. i think this must be interesting, as i expect to know things i never knew before, looking forward!! and what's more, this waiter is actually very infamous with his own blog, don't play play eh~~ [continue >>]

最後呢本亦都係最厚(六百幾頁)同最沉重(語帶雙關)嘅一本, 我其實好有大志要睇晒架.. 雖然以前老師放呢部片畀我哋睇嘅時候, 我係全城瞓著覺, 不過人會長大架嘛, 自從我睇咗慈禧太后一書之後, 我已經對呢為偉大人物咁傳奇嘅一生充滿好奇.. the last one will be this 6xx-pages thick and heavy (pun intended) one, i am actually very ambitious to finish up this book.. though i was always asleep while watching the movie back in school days, i think people will grow up, and since after i finished reading the book about Empress Dowager, i have actually gained a lot of interest in the life of this legendary hero of India..

02.07.2010 | 面卜隨談

我平時入面卜, 都係八吓朋友啲status同埋睇吓相咁.. 間中都會吓玩即興, update自己嘅status, 呢樣應該係面卜眾多無聊功能之中, 少數我覺得有趣嘅功能之一囉.. i normally logon to facebook to see status updates and new photos posted by friends.. occassionally i do like to post spontaneous status, guess this is one of those few features (out of many nonsense) i like in facebook..

[畫出彩虹] 最近傍晚都都會落雨, 因為咁我短時間內見到30年來最多彩虹.. 大前日一個, 噚日竟然出現雙彩虹, 而且都係好大好完整嘅.. 係唔係一個吉兆呢??[rainbows] it rains almost every evening recently, hence i'm able to see the most number of rainbows within the shortest period.. one on tuesday, and amazingly two on thursday, and all of them are huge and completed.. is this kind of auspicious??

[夜半奇談] 習慣臨瞓前上吓網, 上床瞓覺之前會hibernate部電腦.. 大家應該都知啦, hibernate之後, 部電腦會暫時性息機架嘛.. 不過有兩晚就好奇怪, 半夜乍醒嘅時候, 竟然見到螢幕開著, 顯示個登陸面!! 有咩可能吖?? 好神奇喎, 唔通~~[supernatural] it's a habit of mine to surf net a bit before sleep, and i usually hibernate my laptop and go to bed.. you know after hibernation, your laptop will temporary shutdown right?? but there were two nights when i suddenly awake in the middle of the night, i saw the screen went back to life showing the login screen!! how can that be?? strange enough, or would it be~~

[耍首擰頭] 健身院中我覺得最令我津津樂道嘅事, 肯定係會員運動時候嘅百態.. 撇開啲大隻老爆晒筋谷盡奶力嘈喧巴閉喺度舉重嘅核突場面, 我覺得見到有人喺跑步機上, 一邊跑一邊(寶萊塢式)頭擰擰, 實在係非常之可愛囉, 哈哈~~[bollywood] i guess the most entertaining thing in the gym would be looking at the various portraits of the members while working out.. put aside those appetite-losing screne where bodybuilders squeezing every inch of their muscles and groaning for strength, i would say it's most amusing to see those swaying their heads left and right bollywood style while running on the treadmill, haha~~
