i heart khalil fong

  • Aug. 29th, 2009 at 10:34 AM

khalil fong dai tong.

For my friends who don't know who he is, here's his biodata as an introduction :-

Khalil Fong, born July 14, 1983, is a soul singer-songwriter signed to the Warner Music label in Hong Kong.Fong was born in Hawaii and his family moved to Shanghai when he was 6. His father, Les Fong (an American-born Chinese from San Francisco, California), wanted Khalil to learn more about Chinese culture. Six years later, they moved to Guangzhou and lived there for about 2 years. Afterwards, they moved to Hong Kong. When he was 16, he sent demos, which he had written, to music producers. Four years later, Warner Music Hong Kong finally recruited him as their producer. Khalil is a Bahá'í.[1] His first language is English and he can speak Mandarin, Shanghainese, Hawaiian Pidgin English, and Cantonese.(source:wikipedia)

and for thosoe who don't know what is Bahais(included me), here's the definition of it:-

Bahá'í teachings emphasize the underlying unity of the major world religions. Religious history is seen to have unfolded through a series of divine messengers, each of whom established a religion that was suited to the needs of the time and the capacity of the people. These messengers have included Abraham, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad and others, including most recently Bahá'u'lláh.(source: wikipedia)

i think that explains why his name is khalil, sounded like a muslim's name. at first i thought he is a muslim until i did this search, khalil apparently is a persian's name. :)

well, khalil is so young! he is only 26yrs old, and he is a cancerian!

i am impressed by his music and his voice. i love his latest album, timeless.

his look is quite nerdy. but then from the way he composed his music, u can find the wittiness within. for example, the song before "georgia on my mind" is "red bean"(a chinese song), it is a very short pause after red bean and from the chinese oldies like intro, u would expect it is another chinese song but it is not, it's an english song. i truly like this east meets west idea, cool.

while for other songs, you'll find him blending big band jazz, swing and broadway's elements into these evergreen classic pieces. for timeless, i think he meant them are classic, at least for him. for example, broadway for "nothing's gonna change my love for you", sofa jazz for "georgia on my mind", big band jazz/fusion jazz for "la bamba", acoustic for "red bean"....if you listen to them carefully, u'll be truly impressed. i like the way he composed "remember", too. how he used the bass from a piano to bring out the anxiety and sorrow of this song is just excellent.

and, most importantly, of all songs, he had chosen two oldies that i love so much since i was small : nothing's gonna change my love for you and moon river.

for you who are interested in this album, u can download it from ihoneyjoo.com/albums. :)

hi people

  • Jul. 16th, 2009 at 2:11 PM

hey people.

howdy!

i am back from lang tengah!

very brown and kena sort by jelly fish.

and flew to and fro kuala terengganu twice within one week.

one bloody week.

lol.

highlights :-

lang tengah :-

jelly fish :-

the package came with a few snorkeling trips. at first we were so happy because the water is soooo crystal clear until u can see nemo near the shore. so we were happily snorkeling until we felt funny in the water. the feeling is like some minor electric shock, bearable but very irritating and annoying. everyone thought that it was our illusions but after we heard somebody saying that there're a school of jelly fish floating around, it scared the hell out of us and went up to the boat. we all were complaining about the itchiness because all of us kena sort. (that's wat i mentioned in my facebook status) but then after we showered in fresh water after that. we were all okay, except one chap, who is the pitiest of all, got this allergy reaction towards jelly fish. his whole body was full of red dots and swollen, like some casualty sustaining skin disease. very kesian. for the subsequent days he kept spraying op-site spray on those red dots to ease the itchiness.

diving :-

the kesian chap went for discovery dive with me. due to his skin condition i refused to go with him but he insisted. he did that all for me. clap clap for his bravery. as per benny, he was desperately trying to stay alive underwater. and in fact he told us that he could see nothing but limited to things in front of him only. poor thing. he couldnt see the school of ikan bilis, baracuda, mooray eels and anything that were not in front of him. actually it was quite normal for ppl who did diving first time in their live. i am so touched, until now.

dolphin :-

the kesian but also lucky chap saw dolphins! i was bathing so i missed it. now we all believed there are dolphins in pulau lang tengah.

to be continued.

Hate Mondays?!!!

  • Jul. 14th, 2009 at 9:17 AM

yesterday was a normal working monday. as usual, there's a heavy traffic jam, all cars were going from a bumper to bumper crawl, to a complete stand still, then back to bumper to bumper crawl, repeatedly.

when i was about to doze off and burst in anger, i saw a car broke down on the emergency lane. something special is, this cool dude was lying on his back on top of his car, with a cardboard on the windscreen, reads " HATE MONDAYS?!!!" this put a smile on my face. this dude is so humorous. he even wore a shade with a pair of hawaiian outfit!

do you hate mondays?

$ell Out

  • May. 10th, 2009 at 6:33 PM

this is my second time watching a movie at signature gsc, the gardens. out of limited choices, we decided to watch "sell out". all i know about this movie is, it's a local production. i thought it would be something like singaporean productions like "i'm not stupid" series but apparently i am wrong. it is actually something really different that surprised me. ya, it surprised me. the pace of this movie is extremely slow. and you might not know what's going on in the beginning of the show. if i were to watch it alone, i think i must have fallen asleep for sure half way through. haha.

i would say this movie gave me a hunch of wong ka wai's style. :)

and i don't know why the screen is shaking in the movie. i think the director purposely did that. and the layout of FONY's office gave a spooky feel. the color and the tone is so cold and everything is like so transparent. the characters are so real and i even found this movie is very, very sacarstic. credit given to the script writer, the lines are so funny. especially the big boss and the boot licker manager.
"are u mocking me?" "but, i hate ppl say but, if u say it one more time i will fire u!" "speak full english" hahaha

the sound tracks are not bad too. go watch this movie, my recommendation. :)

april - random updates

  • Apr. 5th, 2009 at 5:59 PM


april - the month of spring

i've been wanting to write some updates about myself other than my job, for those who don't meet/see me for quite a while. of coz i wouldnt do it in b&f style(the secret code between wy and i) ok let's start.

i spent my weekend at home. to create a record of not stepping out from the house for 24 hours. haha. but then i failed. i went out to take out my food. writing meanwhile watching classic serials called shen diao xia lv on astro, felt so shocked when i saw Guo Fu chopped Yang Guo's right arm down. my fren asked me "u dunno about that?" no, i knew that. just i didn't know when i saw it in action, it is so shockening to me. :) and i still think Chen Yu Lian and Andy Lau are the best candidates to act as Xiao Long Nv and Yang Guo. of coz for the Huang Rong, i like this character when i first read the novels.

i pampered myself wif food on sunday morning. by having dim sum buffet. it's been quite a while i tasted awesome dimsum since my last visit to hongkong. as for tai tong i still dun think they serve dimsum with quality that's up to par. but today, i am satisfied. not a single dimsum that i can critisize on. not even on the tea. not even on the portion. :)

and then i resumed writing. of course i went to fb to play a bit wif my pet kuru. and i have decided to take few days off just to finish off this paper. not letting it to haunt me for another months to come. it is really horrified when i found myself dozed off last nite with everything on last night, everything in terms of lights, tv and laptop. haha. i woke up at 4am and went to turn off everything like a mouse in a maze. imagine that funny me. sigh.

my short hair is no longer very short but up to a length that everyone in the office will remind me to have a trim for it. but secretly i do like the length of it now. and i really consider to keep short hair from now on. haha. of coz i still like my straight long black hair.

and i really wan to watch "the confession of a shopaholic". haha. ya i knew it's a chic flick but when i read the book it's so funny.

it's spring now?



 

Stress

  • Mar. 19th, 2009 at 1:21 PM


Ring Ring
(phone ringing)

an operation assistant from airport is on the line.

"why u update the rates on 12/2 but the effective date is 8/1?" she asked, no manners.

"let me check." i opened the dlsop, and found that the one updated on the 12/2 was another file. " that is a different file, the rates file was updated 8/1."

"i didnt notice it was changed until last week." i think internally, is this my problem? " u hav to at least notify my supervisor or boss."

"ur boss was in the meeting when we revised the rates. and the meeting minutes was sent to him, i think this should be ur responsibility to check the rates before u do billing." but not to blame anyone else, ur boss, ur supervisor and me. i think internally.

"but my supervisor and boss oso knew it last week onli"

"just issue the credit note la, that's not important, u overlooked and did it wrongly." i started to lost my patience.

"but it would affect my performance."

"u have no choice but to issue the credit notes, clients wont accept your excuse that because of u overlooking the new rates they are going to bear the extra charge."

"i will talk to my boss to see how"

"ok, bye"

and then an email from her boss to everyone landed in everyone's mailbox. wif a statement asking us to update operation team whenever there's any changes on rates or clients' issues. he even quoted this case as an example, saying that i didnt inform operation until last week.

i was fuming angry.

i dug out all the proof and made it as polite as i could, replied to that email that cc everyone, including my boss.

it reads :"

hi mr xyz,

thanks for highlighting. this will be taken full note.

However, a slight correction I would like to make here. The amendment of ABC company's local handling rates was updated to DLSOP on the 8th of January 2009, not last week.
 

This changes were finalized during our visit to ABC company last year 9/12/08. And a notification had been sent to operation team (HODs- UUU and yourself) as per the screen shot below :-

*the screen shot*

moral of the story : when someone asked for a shame, here you go, you deserve it.

bali(6/3/09 - 9/3/09)

  • Mar. 11th, 2009 at 3:02 PM

Greetings from Bali!

This is my third time in bali. well, this is my first time in nusa dua though. And this is an ad-hoc trip.

6/3/09
Touched down at 8pm local time. i had a shock of my life when i turned on my mobile phone. he missed his flight and will  be taking another flight. luckily the hotel provides transportation to transfer me to the hotel. i felt horrified worrying i might end up alone in bali for the next few days so at that point of time, i was quite upset. the hotel is not as wat i expected, not tat nice as the website showed. i booked it through a website called www.wotif.com. it is a boutique hotel so there are onli 60 rooms there, every rooms has different design for garden view, pool view or even private villa.
first thing i did when i entered the room was to run a bathtub of warm water to soak myself into it. to wash away everything negative and tiredness. instantly i felt sleepy after a long day. and the 3 hours flight was not pleasant, too. i couldn't sleep on board, i think i hav lost the ability to sleep anywhere anytime, since dunno when. i played wif my ipod, my psp(it ran out of battery, aih) and there were 2 love birds playing wif their fingers all the time. he arrived in the midnite while i was watching mulan on tv until i fell asleep.

7/3/09
woke up to have breakfast. i was late for breakfast and change so we missed the shuttle bus to the "private beach". geared up wif sun glasses and everything, we decided to hike to the private beach. the sun was incredibly hot. omigod. i really felt like melting. and there's no air at all. woosh. so humid, and hot! i think we walked under the sun for a good 30minutes and found some other hotels' beach front. but we couldnt find ours.so we walked along the beach front for another good 20minutes. i felt myself like a roasted pig who sweating like a horse. even at the beachside, also no wind at all. at last, we decided to detour to the other side of the beach. i felt so dehydrated to walk under the sun for hours. yikes! at last we found the pathetic "private beach". wif smelly fishy wind and black black sand. i was soooo tired and dehydrated so i collapsed on the beach chair to have a nap. and then we have to walk back to the hotel. grrrrrhhhh...another hour of walking under the stupid hot sun. we jumped into the swimming pool in the hotel once we reached there. was sooooo cooling and it was heavenly comparing to the hot sun outside. haihhh...we went to jimbaran bay for seafood dinner and to catch the sunset. the taxi driver dropped us at this restaurant called geneisha. the whole stretch of beach is full of seafood restaurants. u can hav romantic seafood dinner while watching the sunset. after that we went to kuta for a walk and to plan where to go the next day.

8/3/09
the road plan today is to visit the rice terrace at ubud, hav lunch(babi guling) at ubud, tanah lot and uluwatu. we didnt stop over any of the batik factory or any silver factory but go on pure sight seeing. so i guess our guide is not very happy for that gua. he charged us rp350,000 for a day.

9/3/09
this is the last day and our flight was in the evening. this time we ordered room service because we missed the breakfast time. the food was surprisingly good. the pizza is even better than pizza hut's or domino's and the soup bontot was superb! after checked out, we went around the hotel to snap some pictures and redeemed our 15 minutes massage. i have this sun burn on my shoulder and this masseur still rubbing on that. ouch. imagine how torture it was. :( i hate massage liao. after the torturing massage session, we went to rent 2 bicycles to explore nusa dua. we found a public beach which is very scenic and it was covered behind some woods so only locals go there for relaxation. on our way home, we stopped by a beerhouse and drank the whole pint of bintang beer.

a summary of the route and some information/personal opinion of this trip :-

#ubud

this is the rice terrace on the way to kintamani(the volcano). dun have lunch at kintamani, because the food there at the only restaurant there with the volcano view is sucks and expensive.

go for the infamous babi guling instead. it is located right opposite of the grand ubud temple. there's no signboard and the landmark is a big tree. the price is quite reasonable and the babi gulung is nice, especially the sauce. it came with roasted pig skin, flesh, lawar and sauce on steamed white rice. u can order "air jeruk", jeruk is orange la.

roam around those small art galleries with paintings and wood crafts along the roadside. remember to bargain with them. a very nice wood craft u can have it for RM1. if you like shopping, there's a grand bazaar at ubud, spare a good 2 hours for that, it is big and there're a lot of stuff u can buy there. handicraft, batik, clothes etc. remember to bargain!! once they told u the price, u slash by HALF or EVEN MORE. dun dumb dumb go pay wat they said ah.

#nusa dua
it is an exclusive

Karangan Terbaik UPSR 2007

  • Jan. 30th, 2009 at 2:12 PM

source : www.quaintly.net

Pagi itu pagi minggu. Cuaca cukup sejuk sehingga mencapai takat suhu beku. Sebab itu saya tidak mandi pagi sebab air kolah jadi air batu dan air paip tidak mahu keluar sebab beku di dalam batang paip. Pagi itu saya bersarapan dengan keluarga di dalam unggun api kerana tidak tahan sejuk. Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya menemaninya ke pasar. Tetapi saya tidak mahu.

Selepas emak menikam perut saya berkali-kali dengan garfu barulah saya bersetuju untuk mengikutnya. Kami berjalan sejauh 120 kilometer kerana pasar itu letaknya 128 kilometer dari rumah. Lagi 8 kilometer nak sampai pasar saya ternampak sebuah lori kontena meluru dengan laju dari arah belakang.

Dia melanggar emak saya. Emak saya tercampak ke dalam gaung. Dia menjerit “Adoi!”. Lepas itu emak saya naik semula dan mengejar lori tersebut. Saya pun turut berlari di belakang emak saya kerana takut emak saya melanggar lori itu pula. Pemandu lori itu nampak kami mengejarnya. Dia pun memecut lebih laju iaitu sama dengan kelajuan cahaya. Kami pula terpaksa mengejar dengan lebih laju iaitu sama dengan dua kali ganda kelajuan cahaya. Emak saya dapat menerajang tayar depan lori itu. Lori itu terbabas dan melanggar pembahagi jalan lalu bertembung dengan sebuah feri. Feri itu terbelah dua.

Penumpang feri itu yang seramai 100 orang semuanya mati. Pemandu feri itu sangat marah. Dia pun bertukar menjadi Ultraman dan memfire pemandu lori. Pemandu lori menekan butang khas di dalam lori dia..lori itu bertukar menjadi robot Transformer. Mereka bergaduh di udara. Emak saya tidak puas hati. Dia! pun terus menyewa sebuah helikopter di Genting Highlands dan terus ke tempat kemalangan. Dia melanggar pemandu feri yang telah bertukar menjadi Ultraman itu.

Pemandu feri itu terkejut dan terus bertukar menjadi pemandu feri semula lalu terhempas ke jalanraya. Pemandu feri itu pecah. Pemandu lori sangat takut melihat kejadian itu. Dia meminta maaf dari emak saya. Dia menghulurkan tangan ingin bersalam. Tetapi emak saya masih marah. Dia menyendengkan helikopternya dan mengerat tangan pemandu lori itu dengan kipas helikopter. Pemandu lori itu menjerit “Adoi..!” dan jatuh ke bumi. Emak say menghantar helikopter itu ke Genting Highlands. Bila dia balik ke tempat kejadian, dia terus memukul pemandu lori itu dengan beg tangannya sambil memarahi pemandu lori itu di dalam bahasa Inggeris.

Pemandu lori itu tidak dapat menjawab sebab emak saya cakap orang putih. Lalu pemandu lori itu mati. Tidak lama kemudian kereta polis pun sampai. Dia membuat lapuran ke ibu pejabatnya tentang kemalangan ngeri itu. Semua anggota polis di pejabat polis itu terperanjat lalu mati. Orang ramai mengerumuni tempat kejadian kerana ingin mengetahui apa yang telah terjadi. Polis yang bertugas cuba menyuraikan orang ramai lalu dia menjerit menggunakan pembesar suara. Orang ramai terperanjat dan semuanya mati.

Selepas itu emak saya mengajak saya ke pasar untuk mengelak lebih ramai lagi yang akan mati. Di pasar, emak saya menceritakan kejadian itu kepada penjual daging. Penjual daging dan peniaga-peniaga berhampiran yang mendengar cerita itu semuanya terkejut dan mati. Saya dan emak saya terus berlari balik ke rumah. Kerana terlalu penat sebaik saja sampai di rumah kami pun mati. Itulah kemalangan yang paling ngeri yang pernah saya lihat sebelum saya mati.

End of Year

  • Dec. 2nd, 2008 at 10:05 AM

it was like yesterday when we were busy setting our new year resolutions, and now i can see x mas demo is everywhere when i went to the curve last night. this year the x mas deco is so cute. i must go there to take pic in front of the cute x mas tree one day.

it has been 5 months here in EI. and i am slowly adapting to the working pace here. i am learning. for not being a ms.direct anymore.

ever regret over any decisions that you have made before?

Some updates

  • Nov. 11th, 2008 at 10:27 AM


i've finally decided to giving up climbing mount kk in april. but another decision i've made is to start exercising, as i think the sign of getting black out in the cave isn't a good sign at all. it showed that i really have to work on my stamina and cardio. there is a lake with jogging track and public swimming pool near to my office. i have a colleague who is willing to go jogging with me after work so i think i will try my very best to keep up with it. but i dun think i wanna swim in the public pool to prevent fungus growing or some other unknown factors that will cause some break out on my face, again. :D

i am looking forward to knowing more about elephant. :D

i signed up for fitness first again. with wy. i'm so happy for that actually.

work load is catching up. started to hate british's working attitude. sigh on why i am working in a third world country(am i?).

age is catching up, too. start to invest in expensive eye cream, anti aging skin care, putting on make up and concealer. have to quit nite life, sleep early.

and my colleagues are starting to plan for x mas party. :D but i guess there won't be a white x mas for me this year. and i definitely dun wan to spend my x mas eve lying on the bed wif pale face like last year. haha. (i had serious food poisoning in shanghai, last yr x mas)

今天的我

  • Nov. 6th, 2008 at 10:08 PM

今天的我,病了。正确来说,我累坏了。下雨的午后,我瘫倒在我的床上。很想就这样一睡睡到天明。电话一直响。唉。终于明白为什么有些大忙人一直说“得空死不得空病”,想来我确是身历其境了。电话终于没电了。太好了。

是城市人的通病?动不动就生病?从前的人下田耕种,岂不比我们这些文人辛苦百倍, 却没听过他们会生病。我的有些同事,七早八早上班,七迟八迟才下班, 真令人惭愧。我这种身上有懒惰虫的人,放水一百年也不可能做到。

港片里那些警察,一百年不用睡觉都可以英勇破案, 在现实里,有没有这样的人呢?

I HAVE A DREAM
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while
Pushing through the darkness still another mile
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream


I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Musical show "Mama-mia" has finally come to the cinemas. This song "I have a dream" was played at the beginning of the movie and it keeps playing in my mind. :-)

actually i dunno this song is an oldies sang by abba. as it was popularized by a boyband called westlife. hehe.

how about this one?

MAMA-MIA
Ive been cheated by you since I dont know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I dont know how but I suddenly lose control
Theres a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

Ive been angry and sad about the things that you do
I cant count all the times that Ive told you were through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you wont be away too long
You know that Im not that strong.
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, its a game we play
Bye bye doesnt mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much Ive missed you
Yes, Ive been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

kekeke. the infamous MAMA-MIA.

let's sing along then. :D

整个八月

  • Sep. 1st, 2008 at 9:01 PM

整个八月就这样过去了。

相比于七月,八月来得充实;相比于七月,八月来得凉爽。

八月是在下着雨的城市里钻来钻去,在办公室里瑟瑟发抖里,无声无息的划过了。

看了wall-e和钱不够用2。两部都是令人感动的电影。尤其是后者,看了之后,一定要对妈妈好一点哦。

随着马来西亚庆祝生日,李宗伟庆祝在奥林匹克虽败犹荣的银牌和拿督殊荣,我却借此难得的假期,在房里埋头大睡。

工作开始繁忙。很多不熟悉的东西等着上手。桌上常常会出现不明物体需要review(?)有时候我很想问,到底我是不是他的老板,为什么会轮到我这个新丁去review.(?)还有很多个十万个为什么。。。

新同事要不是倚老卖老(虽然她一点都不老),要不就是唠唠叨叨,要不就是太极高手。。真是令我这个本来就不怎么善于交际的人‘疲于奔命’。(乱用成语)

小小的办公室里,有政治。虽然没有马来西亚政治这样精彩,可是也还蛮精彩的。我看我得把自己的袖子越练越长,才可以‘长袖善舞’。

这个八月, 凉凉的。

I was supposed to go on a drinking session but at last i decided to chicken out and went home to rest earlier. it must be my body too acidic, i feel tired easily lately. i sleep a lot but wake up very tired. aih, i alwiz hav those stupid dreams which consume my brain energy even when i am sleeping. 

i decided to buy some eggs to go with my rice. hence i went to the fresh market nearby and when i passed by the stalls selling all sort of vege, i spotted this vege with an unknown name to me. hmm, that kind of vege with small green leaves, when we eat steamed fish sure it will be put on top of the fish as decoration one leh. er, some people dun like it coz of the cockroach smell?! but it is very nice to eat with the taiwanese oyster mi sua. i think u know wat it is already lah. talk until no energy already. ok, then i grabbed a bunch of that vege, a box of white button mushroom and a box of eggs. to my surprise, the boss of that shop gave that vege to me as complimentary wor. hehe. so nice one!

of coz i went home started cooking rice using that small little pot. then fried the egg. then poured a big whole chunk of furikake onto the hot rice. too bad the rice is half cooked. but the egg was good. trata. what i did wif that bunch of vege is, i chopped it and i put a lot in my miso soup and on top of my sauteed mushroom. hehe. so basically wat i could only taste is the taste of that vege onli. i think something is wrong with me already, where got people crave for that vege one. 

and i have a thought. next time i should buy a bunch of that vege and take away oyster mi sua to eat at home. then i can put as much as i can of that vege to eat along with my favorite mi sua. hahaha!  

ok enuf of that vege.

i bought a book. the author is wang wen hua. he got his mba from standford college in the US and his last position was a GM in some MSC. but he resigned and now doing nothing but enjoying life. the book is all about how to save our earth. how we should support wearing organic cotton becoz planting cotton plants consume a lot of water and the farmers have to spray tonnes of pesticide to make sure the plants growing well. try to minimize the usage of plastic bags. try to slow down the process of global warming. etc etc lah. it is an inspiring book. 

wat else i wanna say. hmm. about my job? 

maybe next post lah. hehe. i can talk about some make up stuff oso.

La La La-ng Tengah(19/7/08-21/7/08)

  • Jul. 22nd, 2008 at 11:16 AM

i went for a breakaway at pulau lang tengah last weekend. it was a great one, minus the fact that i had soar throat, flu and cough during the trip. 

we flew airasia in the morning, reached k.terengganu one hour later. transferred by taking 2 cabs to merang jetty, 7 of us stopped at a malay stall to have nasi dagang before reaching the jetty as we still have plenty of time. the nasi dagang of terengganu is different from what we used to have in kelantan. in kelantan the rice is brownish but in terengganu the rice is all white. very fragrance with coconut milk, delicious to eat with crispy cucumber slices and curry fish. it costs us only rm2.50 per set. where to get in kl right. 

there is no ferry to pulau lang tengah as it is quite a reserved island, not that commercialized like redang or perhentian yet. hence we took speed boat to go into the island, the boat trip took us around one hour. 

crystal clear water welcomes us, and tall coconut trees. we stayed in a resort called D'coconut resort. it is quite remote comparing with redang and perhentian. we heart the swimming pool in the middle. we always gathered there, either having a dip or nap or just plain sun bathing. one word - relaxing.

as i mentioned i had flu, soar throat and cough with me during the trip so no diving for me this time. wasted because lang tengah is one of the best spot for divers. as the visibility is good and the sea is calm. met few divers who went back there regularly because of the beauty of underwater world. perhaps next time i shall go back there again to dive. i did snorkelling instead. we saw a black tip shark near the shore, and also trigger fish that showed his teeth to us during the snorkelling session. we stayed in the water for quite a long time until i got my back sun burned after that. still feel itchy today, as the skin is beginning to peel off. 

some of the gals couldn't go into the water due to some unwelcomed stuff, and there were some big rocks on the way to the turtle bay. hence few of us decided to give it a try to climb the rocks and make our way to the turtle bay. the "rock climbing" session was exciting and fun. at last we didn't make it to the turtle bay, because the rocks are too steep for us to climb. we made it half way only. a good experience i would say. 

we scrolled to beaches nearby to take some photos. the photos were nice i supposed. and the guys broke a coconut tree trunk when they tried to pose on the trunk. we had a good laugh over that. really very entertaining. but we didn't make it to the blue coral beach at last after they broke the coconut tree trunk. haha. we headed back to our resort to change and get ready for the snorkeling trip at 3.30pm. 

meals were good. i ate a lot although i was not in a good shape. i love the sessions we kept munching on the biscuits, drinking coffee/tea and talking nonsense. it was like so relaxing. you can't have a life like this in KL or on a very stuffy tour. it's really a holiday. 

i'll post some pics here after getting them. be looking forward to that. :D

每一天都是冬天

  • Jul. 6th, 2008 at 10:12 PM

话说我换了新工作。

我的老板是个大忙人。我上班快两天了都没召见我,我就一个人呆在比冷宫还冷的的训练室里瑟瑟发抖,因为那中央调节的冷气系统实在是冷。 由于茶水间就在隔壁,我又没有任何电脑或手提电脑, 所以我的主要活动就是不断的消耗公司的资源。我不停的喝茶水间里的饮料, 从milo开始,然后nescafe, 然后milo+nescafe...

这样过了一个星期,然后我就病倒了。

现在还在养病,喝了一杯感冒茶,我要赶着去会周公。希望明天可以顺利起床,不再迟到。

赋闲在家的日子

  • Jun. 27th, 2008 at 1:31 PM

很多关心我的朋友最近都不约而同的问我同一个问题:你现在每天做什么?

我:“坐在家咯。”

朋友(不死心):“整天坐在家里不显咩?”

哈哈,这挠似玩味的问题的确发人省思。

第一,我没有整天坐在家里。in fact, 要我整天坐在家里是很难的。因为我静不下来!每天我都至少会溜出去享受一下污染的空气和大太阳的uv,顺便浪费一下最近很贵的车油。

第二,我是个嗜睡如狂的狂人。一天8小时是不够的。这段日子我简直可以用欣喜若狂这四个字来形容。因为平时有工开的日子,一个星期只有那区区的一天可以让我睡到自然醒。现在我每天喜欢睡到几点,就睡到几点。当有人打电话来的时候,哪怕是下午三点,老娘都可以不急不缓, 毫不心虚,理直气壮兼声大气粗的说:“是啊,我在睡着觉喔。“嘻嘻。

第三,我有我的毕业论文要做。deadline是八月。然而我每天都怀着罪恶感虚度岁月。唉,一定要死都赶出来。

第四,殊不知老娘活到这一把岁数了,还对烹饪这一门子学问一知半解。所以,一切从日本食物展开始。平时我只会消费一大堆金钱在零食上,今时不同往日,我决定不要每天吃拉拉杂杂的东西当正餐了。我要吃饭!在店员的协助下,我买了一包furikake和一包味增汤料。还有一包米。由于我一个人吃饭,煮饭不可能用饭煲,所以只能用一口小锅。水又不知道放多少,因为锅没有measurement的。只好用手咯,可是那口锅又太小了。没法啦,用大概大概心法吧。哈哈。不知道是beginner luck 或者是我的确有少许天分,那锅饭还真有一点水准喔。煮汤更难不到我啦,三两下子就可以喝啦。终于吃了一餐正常的午餐。好,下次再来!

还有十万个呆在家的理由恕我不能一一尽录。

看来我倒还有点潜质当个少奶奶。哈哈!


我没有说谎啊。真的有煮,而且很成功。那饭软中带Q,令人回味无穷。哈哈。

换个跑道,重新起跑

  • Jun. 19th, 2008 at 12:55 PM

最后一次坐在这个熟悉的办公室里,金鱼缸似的办公室。桌子,抽屉难得一见的整齐, 可是也很空。很多文件都请的情,带走的带走。心情有一点五味杂陈,套用村上春树的风格:就如置身于空旷的宇宙里,我是一颗孤独,闪着单调暗淡的光的星球,百年孤寂般荒凉的感觉就如行星自转时轰隆轰隆的声音一般笼罩着我。

又没有这样夸张啦。

只是那些回忆,跟着思潮起伏, 第一次战战兢兢的走入那个电脑部的房间,那道棕色木门的触感和厚重感我都还可以感觉到。第一次赶写程式到凌晨4点。第一次跟印尼同事见面,成为朋友,一起写程式,一起说别人坏话,一起吃宵夜。 林小宝,猪头彬,很少可以遇到这么好的senior了。然后第一次当老板的特别助理,一头雾水,无头苍蝇似地误打误撞一路闯着祸去了不少国家。第一次看到自由女神用右手握着火炬,第一次夏威夷的椰林和海风出现在自己面前,第一次在温哥华看到樱花盛放, 第一次在多伦多看到雪景, 第一次去中东,第一次去雅加达,第一次去马尼拉。。许许多多的第一次,不可思议但发生了的第一次。第一次在大城市上班,第一次塞车困在车龙里,从开始的诅咒连连到现在的习以为常。。

都已经变成回忆了。

然后从空中返回平地当一般的上班族,每天上班下班,过着自以为憧憬的规律生活。然后不安于室地开始了往返布城和灵市的忙碌生活,为了那个自以为理想的第二张文凭。 正当连我自己都觉得我应该会这样日复一日地过一生的时候,我那颗不安定的灵魂又作祟了。

是时候换个跑道,再重新起跑了。

趁自己还没有失去冲劲的时候,趁自己还自以为有梦想, 有勇气改变的时候。在这时候往回看, 那个战战兢兢的女孩不见了,未来是怎样大家都不知道, 当回忆的洪流汹涌而至的时候, 28岁的我拍拍蓝色的椅子, 继续地向前走。


我们终于见面了

  • Jun. 17th, 2008 at 6:14 PM

话说我在脸谱重遇失散了十六年的手帕交dr.c, 什么是手帕交?老娘为了确定,还特地去‘google’了一下,手帕交者,情同姐妹的好朋友也。

我刚好回乡出席一个婚礼(see previous post), 所以我们就约定要见个面。我的心情还蛮复杂的,虽然dr.c 是个女的,可是我的心情不免紧张:担心我们会认不出对方,担心我们见了面没话讲。。之类云云。可是我的担心是多余的。因为英明的她,一眼就认出了一头乱发的我。然后我们一聊就是两小时,绝对没冷场。

久违的她没多大改变,我们一坐下来就迫不及待的叽叽喳喳说个不停,仿佛又变回了多年前两个叽叽喳喳的小女孩。 她现在是个小镇医生,在一个小镇里悬壶济世,如有兴趣,可到她的部落格串串门子,文笔很诙谐有趣,跟侯文咏不遑多让。她的部落格:hersketchbook.blogspot.com.

匆忙间我们忘了拍照留念,不要紧啦,应该还可以再见面的。网络的力量真是好大,如果不是脸谱,我们也不会再见面了吧?
