2015.11.19 | 班戟一日

[Volume 10 Issue 11, #2075]
A Day of (Two Years Quota of) Pancakes
上個禮拜日, 友人話我知佢有免費班戟餐券, 不過有效限期係當日.. 有咩大問題?? 即刻去商場食佢落肚咪搞掂囉, 收工!! 之但係友人繼續話, 餐券有嘅唔係得一張而係六張, 每張可換兩件班戟!! 死喇, 當下先知大件事喇, 哈哈!! 嘗試打俾其他朋友, 但係冇個要為咗兩件班戟而出現, 到底我哋兩支公應該如何搞掂啲班戟餐券而唔嘥嘢呢??
last sunday, my friend told me he has got some vouchers for free pancakes, only valid through that day itself.. what big deal?? we shall just get the mall and wallop them right away, all done!! but he then added, he has got not just one but six vouchers, each entitled us to two pieces of pancakes!! now, that indeed was a problem, haha!! we tried calling up other friends but none available, how could we two finish all these pancakes and not wasting any??
A Day of Pancakes - The Vouchers
好喇, 於是就雄心壯志去咗城中新開張嘅商場, 搵到間班戟食肆, 開始我哋首輪班戟免費食.. 就當係下午茶兼運動前小食, 我哋每人兩件約五吋嘅班戟, 配打鬆咗嘅牛油同蜜糖(或是只不過係糖漿)以及一杯西茶, 完全免費.. 對一個成年男人嚟講係冇難度啦, 所以之前擔心搞唔掂啲餐券嘅隱憂, 立即化灰.. 我哋就喺度諗:「一陣gym完再到返嚟」..
alright, finger crossed, we went to the new mall in town, found the cafe and hopped in for our first free pancakes.. i considered that our tea time cum pre-workout snack, we each had two pieces of 5" pancakes served with whipped butter and honey (or was those just syrup) and a cup of tea, all for free.. easy peasy for guys i would say, and hence there gone the worries that we may not be able to handle the remaining four vouchers.. "we shall be back again after our gym session", we thought..
A Day of Pancakes - Round 1
gym完再喺個商場行咗一陣之後, 我哋再到返同一個地方, 再次遞上兩張餐券.. 呢碟嘢係每二輪, 大家知我唔會同一碟食物重複貼上多張不同遠近不同角度嘅相啦, 確實真係我當日第二份班戟呀!! 係就係依然食得落肚, 但係就硬係覺得, 呢第三及第四件班戟, 同剛才尚未消化嘅第一及第二件班戟, 齊齊喺我個肚內發大, 哈哈!!
after our workout in the gym and a little walk in the mall, we went to the same place again and handed another two vouchers.. this was our second round, as you know it is not my style to repeatedly post multiple photos of the same food zoomed-in and zoomed-out and from different angles, it was really my second plate of pancakes for the day!! still able to chuck them down, but i just felt these third and fourth pieces were starting to expand together with the first two which were still soaking up in my stomach, haha!!
A Day of Pancakes - Round 2
好喇, 時到如今, 我哋不得不放棄原先諗住要打包嘅最後兩張餐券.. 我其實都唔係咁喜歡食班戟嘅, 一年來都唔知有冇食過一件, 所以是日係數個鐘頭內就食兩年嘅份量?? 夠了就是夠了, 最終將剩下嘅兩張餐券, 毫無條件割愛俾埋嚟坐喺我哋隔離枱嘅食客.. 嘩嘩嘩, 好有運(雖然一開始有啲愕然)嘅朋友哦, 又或者有運嘅係我哋自己, 因為有其他人幫手完成「任務」?? 哇哈哈哈~~

後記: 唔好同(免費嘅)班戟開玩笑!! :D
okay, we had to forget about the last two vouchers that we initially planned for the pancakes to be taken away.. i am actually not a fans of pancakes and i don't really eat pancakes even once in a year, so this was my two years of quota in just few hours?? enough is enough, we gave the remaining two vouchers, unconditionally, to the diners who came in sitting next to our table.. oolala, lucky they were though dumbfounded initially, or probably we were the lucky ones to have others to take over our "mission"?? muahahaha~~

P/S: NEVER FOOL WITH (FREE) PANCAKES!! :D

2015.11.16 | 時間倒流

[Volume 10 Issue 11, #2074]
If We Could Turn Back Time...
Turn Back Time
如果時間可以倒流, 你會唔會第一時間整張list出嚟, 然後慢慢咁去完成嗰啲曾經, 甚至乎依然令你後悔/錯過/遺憾嘅事呢?? 又或者拾取經驗及教訓, 將一切無可挽留嘅僵局徹底洗牌, 然後從頭開始?? 又或者撇脫啲, 過去讓它過去, 無謂執著, 一切往前看?? 我相信人生之中, 無論幾開心幾樂天嘅人, 都必定會有某些遺憾.. 可能事過境遷, 不過每當回首過去, 表面上似乎看破一切, 但係實質上可能仲會耿耿于懷.. 除非呢個人真係神仙, 可以徹徹底底忘記一切囉, 不過我覺得好難, 點都會有條刺係個心裡邊嚹住嚹住嘅.. 所以你話, 如果時間以倒流嘅話, 我真係會有好多嘢想做囉.. 係係係, 雖然而家發夢尚早, 不過噏吓噏吓可能上天會突然間讓奇跡出現呢?? 其實間中發下白日夢, 人生先會有希望嘛, 哈哈!! :D
if we could turn back time, will you immediately draw up a list of those things that have made you felt regret or even still feeling regret, and then get them done one by one?? or maybe learn from experience and redo all that have led to now awkward situations, so that you can start all over again?? or probably just do nothing but to accept that bygones are bygones, there is no need to cling on to the past matters but to move on is more important?? i believe no matter how happy and optimistic a person is, he or she would have some regrets.. unless he or she is an almighty, i guess it is quite impossible to totally forget about the past, even though something may seem to fade with time, they are actually still buried in the heart.. hence if i could turn back time, i guess i really have a lot to do.. oh well, i know i know maybe it's too early to dream but then don't you think it feels more hope if we actually daydream once in a while?? haha!! :D

About Shipment Tracking
Online Shipment Tracking
我諗如果話我哋大家都已經習慣於網上購物及送貨上門, 應該都唔會有錯啦.. 老實講, 今時今日嘅我, 網購已經多過去商場血拼, 以致朋友都說笑話我係個「寶寶王」, 哈哈!!咁大家都好清楚網購流程啦, 俾咗錢就可以追蹤貨物最新狀況及現時送到去邊..

一般「正常」程序係放鬆自己耐心等待貨物送到上門, 或者係隔好耐都未有收到先去查下物流.. 但係唔明點解, 我就似乎對於物流過於緊張, 可以去到每日都要追蹤, 甚至一日追蹤幾次嘅地步.. 或者係得我會咁, 唔單止緊張自己會收到嘅嘢, 自己寄出去俾人嘅嘢都同樣緊張, 要對方證實收到我先輕鬆落嚟.. 或者真係自己俾自己不必要嘅無形壓力, 因為要送到嘅始終會送到, 除非係極少可能嘅閃失.. 怪就怪雲端數據過於方便啦, 呵呵!! :p
i guess it is not wrong to say that we are all very used to purchasing things online and getting them delivered right to our doorsteps huh?? frankly, i actually shop online more than i shop in malls nowadays, until my friends tease and say i am a "Baobao King" now, haha!! and you know well, after you have made payment, you will be able to track the status of your purchase and trace where the shipment is at that time..

the "normal" way would be stay relaxed and wait patiently for the stuffs to be delivered, or only check the status if it is taking too long.. but, i do not know why but i think i tend to get over-anxious about my shipments most of the time, to the extent that i can't help to check the status of the purchase and shipment everyday or even several times a day.. so this is just me, not only i am kan cheong about things delivered to me, i am also very kan cheong about things that i sent out to friends, only to feel relieved when friends confirmed receiving the stuffs.. guess this is some unnecessary pressures i give to myself, because if it is going to be delivered, it will be delivered, unless something went wrong which is probably unlikely.. blame it on the convenience of cloud data, haha!! :p
