31.07.2008 | 是日午餐

最近嘅lunchie都係飲cereal drink同食餅乾渡過, 呢幾日好啲, 因為有友人JY送我嘅崑崙喇叭香餅轉轉口味(嘻嘻!!).. 今日覺得悶, 想食物啲咸味道嘅嘢, 不過考慮到唔想食得太肥膩, 第一時間就諗到Subway.. 所以今朝返工前就喺中環站買咗份breakfast bun, 放入公司個雪櫃稍後作lunch.. 點解要買breakfast bun當lunchie呢?? 咪就係因為breakfast bun平過普通包成一半(慳錢啊!!), 而且比較細個(唔駛漲爆肚啊!!)囉..

寫blog前啱啱嘆完lunch, 好豐富嘅turkey ham breakfast bun + 小春郵寄過嚟嘅masala tea + 大陸生產富士蘋果一個.. 覺得有12分飽, 好似食好多嘢, 不過OK啦都食得幾健康嘅.. 其實我都幾希望可以日日咁一餐lunch架, 因為聽友人飛びたい豚話食Subway啲包包有助減肥吖嘛!! 之不過呢, 如果要日日咁食, 真係食唔起囉, 因為都唔平架.. 唉, 都唔明, 咪就係包一個啫, 點解可以賣得咁貴?? 佢賣一個包, 可以出邊食兩碗魚旦粉啦, 食到趴喺度嗰隻添啦..
have been having cereal drink and biscuits for lunch lately, a little better these few days sort of "changing menu" since i have the heong peng from JY (hehe!!).. feel like eating something savoury today, and considering something less oily and more healthy, Subway just came into my mind.. so just popped in to get a breakfast bun before work this morning, and have the bun for lunch later.. why breakfast bun for lunch?? firstly, it's about half the price of a normal bun (thus save money).. secondly, it's smaller in size (thus just right for my appetite)..

just finished lunch before writing this entry, had quite a luxury one.. turkey ham breakfast bun + masala tea from csws + china fuji apple.. feel 120% full now, seemed to have eaten a lot, come to it they do look healthy to me though.. well, actually i think i should eat like this for lunch everyday, because heard from friend 飛びたい豚 you can loose weight with a Subway diet, sounds great yeah?? however, this won't work, because it's unaffordable since they are selling at quite expensive price.. really wonder why it's so expensive, one Subway bun is almost equivalent to two bowls of fishball noodles out there, yes two big bowls that will bloat your stomach to heaven..

30.07.2008 | 神機妙算

唔記得由幾時開始, 本地收費電視Astro開咗個新台叫做「歡喜台」, 係專門播台語劇集同台語節目嘅.. 自從有咗呢個台之後, 長年掌管Astro遙控大權嘅潮州嫂(亦即係家母喇), 已經遺棄之前一路追捧嘅「華麗台」.. 每日工作返到屋企, 每逢星期一至五晚上九點半, 電視螢幕一定見到呢套《神機妙算劉伯溫》(下圖左起: 皇帝朱元璋, 皇后大腳婆, 劉生紅顏知己阿秀, 劉伯溫, 丞相胡惟庸).. 其實都播咗好耐, 一個單元幾十集, 總共八個單元噚晚先做完第五個, 真係有排睇..

初時對呢啲咁嘅台語劇集冇乜好感, 因為印象中係拖泥帶水, 芝麻綠荳一件事都可以做個十集出嚟, 所以當時飯後一齊睇電視嘅時候, 真係覺得有啲@#$%^*.. 之不過久而久之, 竟然開始覺得幾OK喎, 劇情可算得係曲折離奇, 而且往往叫人好想追睇落去, 因為個結果好多時候都叫人意想不到嘅, 唔似得時下一般劇集咁, 睇三集就可以知道結局係點.. 所以而家呢, 全家人居然大受感染, 開始迷上呢個台語劇集喇, 每逢星期一至五晚上9:30-10:30都會坐定定睇劇集, 哈哈!! 搞笑啊, 就連我個五歲姪仔聽到首主題曲都可以跟埋一齊唱喇, 而且因為呢個劇集呢, 學識咗好多正統台語添, 嘿嘿~~
can't remember when this new Hua Hee Dai channel started in Astro, it's a dedicated channel for taiwanese drama and variety show.. since the broadcast of this channel, my mum the remote-control-controller has already gave up watching the all-the-while-watching Wah Lai Toi, and switch to this new channel almost 24x7.. since then, every working day back home, from 9:30-10:30 at night, the tv screen is definitely showing this "The Amazing Strategist Liu Bowen".. it's been showing for a very very long time, each unit has couple tens of episodes, and yesterday we just finished watching the 5th out of 8 units, hmmm, still a long way to go huh..

initially not at all keen on this channel, because to me, taiwanese drama are always long winded, and so was quite @#$%^ while somehow "forced" to watch it together.. but, there is always a but, as times go i actually found out the drama is not bad at all, at least it's not a typical taiwanese drama.. the storyline is exciting and makes you eager to watch the next episodes in order to know the outcome.. unlike most drama nowadays, you could easily guess what is going to happen later after a sneak of the first few episodes.. and so, the whole family is now influenced and has become fans of this drama, even my 5-year-old nephew could sing along the theme songs, hahaha!! and thanks to this drama, i've learnt quite some classy taiwanese too..

29.07.2008 | 每月煩惱

今朝又嚟喇, 好似每個月總有一次.. 呢個PUTRA輕鐵, 硬係中意揀喺高峰時段發生系統故障, 大佬啊, 人人趕住返工架嘛, 而且我呢站又係人流最多嘅五站之一, 真係贈興咩?? 聽聞今朝8點開始就已經發生故障..

如常8:45到站準備返工, 點知見到我最怕見到嘅情景, 就係輕鐵逼爆怨氣沖天嘅人.. 唔駛問阿貴, 梗係又再「因技術問題引致服務癱瘓」啦, 廣播每隔三分鐘就話超過一個小時都會維持現狀, 即刻覺得想暈低!! 其實好似每個月都有次架喇, 今日係我遇見有史以來最嚴重一次.. 喺輕鐵閘口前呆等20分鐘後, 有關工作人員先開閘分流人群, 好不容易上到去月台, 再等多個20分鐘(今日列車班次離譜地變成10分鐘), 終於成功畀身後群眾力量推入經已逼爆嘅列車內.. 嘩!! 其實好敬佩所有乘客嘅縮骨功囉, 頭先竟然同其他乘客面對面身貼身, 連呼吸都感受到, 嗰種於陌生人貼近得死鬼尷尬嘅程度, 請想像!! 因為系統故障需要人手操作, 所以平時20分鐘嘅車程, 今日用咗將近一小時.. 受困於呢個毫無郁動空間嘅逼爆車廂一個小時(我爭在仲未因吸入過多二氧化碳而暈死車廂), 終於10:30am抵達公司, 足足比平時遲咗1小時15分鐘!! 頂~~it happened this morning again, as if it's a planned monthly incident.. the PUTRA LRT is facing technical problems again, i wonder why it likes to "choose" the peak hours where everyone is rushing to work?? that station at my house is one of the top 5 most crowded stations, is it kidding on us?? heard that the incident started since 8am this morning..

i reached the station 8:45 as usual, only to find out the scariest thing i would never want to see, that is station flooded with frustrated people.. yeah, it's the "due to technical difficulties, trains are delayed", and this time should be the most serious i've ever encountered so far.. waited for 20min outside the gate before we are allowed to get into the platform.. on the platform waited another 20min (train has been scheduled to 10min then), and finally successfully being "pushed" into the already packed train.. i really gotta salute how the passengers can "squeeze" themselves inside the coach.. and due to the crowd, you get so closed to each other (body touching body and face to face), that was really embarrassing i would say, just imagine.. due to the technical problem, the trains were controlled manually, and hence the normal 20min journey took me a mere 1 hour today.. trapped in packed train for an hour (almost fainted for inhaling excessive carbon dioxide), finally arrived at office 10:30am, a record breaking 1H15M later than usual, WTF~~
