我和媽媽的對話

我媽： “你下去打包乾撈米粉或粿條給我”

我乖乖領旨。 走到麵檔問老闆，他說米粉粿條都賣完了

我回到車回報

我：      媽，老闆說只剩下面，你要不要？

我媽： 米粉有嗎？

我：     只剩下面~

我媽： 粿條有嗎？

我：    只剩下面！(咦？客家話翻成中文好好笑😝）

我媽：沒有米粉粿條？

我😂😓

Halloween by the parents

It's Halloween today.

To me, it's same as every other day. 

To some, it's a big big day.

My sister sent a picture of my nephew's halloween party to us. I couldn't stop laughing when i saw "Casper".

Boo!

I must say, the mother of Casper was creative! She used minimal materials and turned her child into a ghost, just the right theme for the occasion. Or was she running out of time that she quickly came out with this? Or she forgot about this party and put something together quickly just so her child could attend the party? whatever it is, i think she was smart! ha! Not only do Kids grow up fast and there is really no point spending too much on costumes, she also successfully stole the thunder for her work of Art was the first thing i looked at! haha...

It was nice to see everyone putting the effort to turn themselves into their favourite characters, scary ghosts, beautiful princesses etc. I couldn't tell if my nephew enjoyed his halloween party though haha

Happy Halloween!  

My daily routine during MCO

Today is the 50th day of MCO

Wow, we've been locked down for 50 days! Bravo

Everyday, i wake up to a pile of dishes and oily floor because my mum has been very hardworking and lovingly making lots of delicious food for us to enjoy during the lock down. Fortunately, I do not hate to mop floor and wash dishes. As long as it's not IRONING, i am happy haha..

I generally do not hate to do housework, it feels great to see the once messy place or item becoming neat and clean. The only one housework i hate the most is ironing. I do not know why, i simply hate to iron clothes. So, i try to avoid buying clothes that need ironing hahaha... they all said prevention is better than cure. Indeed.

MCO extended

SO... the MCO is extended for another two weeks until 12 May 2020.

I'm not unhappy although am not happy either.

I just accept it as we have come so far, if we let our guard down, what we have done for the past 6 weeks would be wasted. 

In the past, the things we stocked up at home were food related items. These days, the things we buy over and over again are masks, sanitizers, alcohol wipes, gloves (which i am not using as it's really not environmental friendly), disinfectants... I also bought big volume of dettol and clorox for cleaning. 

Just a small part of my 'stock" :P

Speaking of gloves, i get really angry at people who think they look stylish with gloves on their hands  (not those who are essential workers) when they are doing grocery shopping or using the ATM machines etc. I know it's another layer of protection for you BUT it's really environmental unfriendly, as they are thrown away after one use. Actually, just make sure you wash/ sanitize your hands after touching anything will do. 

And what frustrates me further is that the people THROW used gloves on the ground! WTH! It's already bad that they are using gloves and yet they can't do something simple buy throwing them properly into the rubbish bin? I seriously think we human beings are the cancer cells of mother earth. I feel pity that there people who are still so uneducated and have not learned anything from this epidemic. 

Just look at the discarded gloves

34th day of MCO

Today is the 34th day of Movement Control Order. 

Yes, it has been extended 2 times. I kinda like being at home. And that everyone else is at home :P It's so quiet in the morning and night time. I can practically hear myself breathing! Amazing! 

When i was a kid, that's how quiet my neighbourhood was. Then when OUTSIDE residents found out that this road leads them to the other main road, saving them from traffic jam, my neighbourhood becomes noisy during day time. It's a even worse when it rains in the morning because the noise becomes louder as car tires touch the wet road. Imagine, being woken up at 6am by cars :S  

Blah, i am so happy during MCO that not many cars are on the road. Peace and quiet finally! Even a the birds come out to sing!

Two nights ago, just when i was about to sleep, i heard the sound of night - the frogs, the crickets were singing outside my home. It was like an orchestra, by the nature! I loved it and recorded the music with my phone. Let me see how to share it here next time. 

These days, when i turn on FB, TV, newspaper, chats, 99% of them are about Covid 19 virus. It's a global issue which each and everyone of us has a role to play. Soon, this will be over and in history. I like to think that we are now LIVING through history and one day when we all look back, we would go, wow, i lived through that crisis! I remembered, when i was small, my mum told me stories of how her life was during World War II. Now i too have great stories to tell.  I hope some day, when i am older, I could too tell my grand nephews and nieces that, hey kids, don't mess with your grand aunt! I saved the world.............. by staying at home! 

Oh, should i leave out the last four words? haha

But still, Staying home is the only way to stay safe! And to break the virus chain! 

Lock down isn't so bad

Thanks to Covid-19 virus, i am able to sit down to update my long-abandoned blog. 

Today is the 7th day of lock down. I do admit that i'm not home all the time because i still travel to station as it cannot be closed during this period. Apart from medical staff, i really respect all other frontliners - the treinekens workers for collecting our rubbish, the workers at supermarkets, eateries etc, the food delivery guys and of coz, our staff at the station. Because of these people, our lives are still able to function. However, people are still urged to limit their outdoor activities because by gathering together, we build the bridge for the virus to spread. 

Although this corona virus is deadly and causes a lot of inconveniences, fears and death, looking from another angle, it has brought many good things too. For example,

• All of us are at home all day which is a rare thing haha... and the rarest thing is, we all eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at home. Usually, we only eat our dinner at home

• have homecooked meals everyday. I am sure my cholesterol will drop to healthy level by 31 March

• Learn to cook with mum. so far, my greatest achievement is frying good omelettes. I got praises from mum AND my dad eats it. Because when he eats it, it means he AGREES it's good cooking :P

• Do gardening with mum. We managed to clear a few places to make way for sweet pineapples! yaye! and mum did a new vegetable patch today. Looking forward to having homegrown vegetables yum yum

• And friends whom i have not heard for many months suddenly contacted me because they need help in getting masks and sanitizers haha.. 

• The world is so quiet that i am able to hear my own breathing especially during night time. I feel grateful that i'm still breathing!

Because i still need to go out to work, i do see that there are very few cars on the road. I could drive very smoothly without stepping on the brake. That's how ferrari drivers feel when they are speeding on an empty road huh? haha...

this road is usually full of trucks and cars

Empty now

Most importantly, with less people outside, the Earth is finally able to rest and breath. We human beings are like cancer cells, destroying the earth slowly with our toxic and selfish acts. I admit, i am one of the toxic too but i try everything i can to make sure i don't do too much damage, like I don't use pesticide, don't use too much plastics etc...

This lock down, is like a warning, to let us know that we have overlooked and have taken many things for granted. We are now 'suffering' the consequences (因果). oh well... 

We all started it, let's end it together! FIGHTING!

*fight against virus ya, not each other ~

疫情，人心善恶

這疫情，讓我看到人善良的一面，也讓我看到人，自私的一面。

封城了但升為“essential service" 之一，我們不能關閉，繼續為民服務。雖然，我們跟醫護人物比起來，不需要每天面對病人，感染的危機或許沒那麼高但其實只要還是需要跟人類接觸，還是有一定的危險性的。

為了預防細菌傳染，我們大家做足了預防措施。員工們努力確保加油站的乾淨。除了提供洗手液，員工們努力每分鐘消毒顧客接觸點如 nozzles ，門把手，櫃台等。員工們的健康也是重要的，所以他們每天必須測體溫3次，確保自己是健康寶寶才繼續服務顧客~ 很高興很多顧客看到了我們的努力，不吝嗇的給與稱讚，讓員工們感到開心，更努力的為大家做好預防動作。

但也遇到了一些 @*#@)%—#！的人。不好意思，有點不雅所以被消音了 哈哈哈

昨天，員工照常努力的在擦拭玻璃及門把手。我親眼看著外面這位客人，狂指著門，員工以為她擋到他的路了，所以停下工作往後退。但這位客人繼續狂指著門，原來他不想觸碰門把手，要員工開門讓他進來購物。

然後我到外面貼佈告時，看到有人開著豪華車子來加油。他不願下車，估計是不想碰 nozzle, 所以從窗口把錢交給員工，然後請他為他加油。一次目睹這兩件事，我心裡有些不舒服。我問員工很多人都這樣做嗎？他們回我 ‘sudah biasa" (平常事了）。

雖然我們是服務業，雖然在這非常時期其他行業必須休息但我們還開著還能做生意，雖然我們也想像其他人一樣在家躲著以避免感染到病毒，但我必須說，在這非常時期，每個人的生命都是無價的。如果你覺得你的生命很重要，拜託，請跟著政府的封城命令，留在家裡別出來。如果要出來，請尊重現在還必須為你們服務的員工們。他們也是有家庭，他們也是不想得病，更重要的是，他們生命跟你一樣只有一條，所以請大家有一點同理心，別把他們的貢獻當成理所當然的。謝謝大家！

最後， 希望我們大家一起努力對抗疫情。願一切迅速恢復平安吉祥 _/||\_

記得勤洗手、多喝水，戴口罩，少出門

Do appreciate the hard work they have put in 

to make the place safe

Be responsible of your own actions!

When haze was a big problem here, i bought masks at pharmacy at 50 cents. A few months later, due to corona virus, masks become so scarce that even if you have money, you can't buy any masks. 

Recently, because of one gatherings, all of a sudden, the once-clean-of-virus- country quickly overtakes many others the chart. And some high ranking officers made many 'interesting' remarks like people are meant to die anyway, so if u contract the virus and die, it's fate. 

Ummm... i dunno about this logic coz I'm not the wise one. BUT at least i know, fate is in our own hands. U create your own destiny. You are the master of your own life. Although death is inevitable but while we are alive, we should make good use of it. We just need to understand and acknowledge "impermanence" because things changed constantly. Even your hairstyle can grow out of style in just a few weeks time, so does that mean, u don't wanna do anything about it? 

Okay haha, I'm just trying to put it into a simpler term so that our high ranking officers can easily understand that, although death is 100%, we don't need to purposely do things that we know, will kill us... and others. 

Or if you still think death is your destiny, how about you do it at your own home and don't drag others who still wanna live, into your circle? Thanks for being socially responsible. You have no right to get others to die with you. 

So now masks are hard to get. I figured probably a reusuable one would be a good idea. After all, it's better than being naked haha..

I found someone selling handmade masks online and contacted her immediately. Turns out, she is one of the Lions members. I went to her shop immediately and bought a few masks from her. Oh my, she has to cut the masks one by one and sew them together. And she OT just so that she could make many for people who need masks. And guess what, she is only selling it for 8 bucks! Oh my, is she making any money i wonder. She said she doesn't know if she is making any money but she hopes everyone is well protected. My, what a kind hearted lady

Be responsible! Protect yourself, protect others!

I got it from Margaret's Patchwork :) Lots of design to choose from. For kids and adults~ 

貓言貓語

我家的貓，從幾天后才回家吃飯睡覺進階到失踪整整幾個星期都不回家。我媽說，他跟母貓同居去了。真是潑出去的水呀！人家養青蛙，至少偶爾會寄 postcard照片回家，我的這隻貓，舍都沒有。真是的~

2018年的最後一天，也不見他回家吃團圓飯。 2019年的第一天，也不見貓咪的踪影。倒是泰哥最乖，每天看見我們都搖著尾巴，乖乖在家看門。還是他最忠心！

Jane還說好久好久沒看到貓咪了。 1號晚上要送Jane去機場時，失踪的貓突然跑回家！原本應該生氣他的，但看到他可愛的模樣，唉，又心軟了。

要好好跟他學習這一點 哈哈

昨天開手機，竟然收到我貓給我的話。

我不知道他憑什麼給我勸告！哈哈哈哈

My new occupation haha...

I took grab car at  the medical centre just now because i reckoned it would be easier for the driver to locate me if I am at a landmark.

When i got in, the driver asked me if I'm a doctor. 

I said nope. 

He asked me what I do.

I replied that I'm doing everything from low to high and left to right. I wasn't kidding. It's exactly what i do :P

He turned back and looked at me and said, "Nah, it can't be. You look like a doctor".

I wish I have such talent! haha.. I said really, am not. I just wait for car here actually... 

Then he started to chat with me, about health issues which are now affecting younger people, the high medical costs and insurance nowadays and how he had a heart surgery and then being told actually his heart is OK (Oh my, he went thru unnecessary pain!).....

He then turned around and said again,  I think you are a doctor.

@.@

I said nooooo... seriously! 

He 不死心 and continued to say, then u must be some kind of doctor's assistant?

NOOoooooooooooo.... 😅😅😅

Haha, which part of no doesn't he get it? haha... 

I'm telling the truth and yet he doesn't believe me 😆

OK la, it's an honoured to be regarded as a doctor. If he must insist, I will just accept with humble heart. Actually, u could say I am a 江湖医生 (self-taught, fake doctor) 😆 

There, i hope that makes him happy! haha...😂 

Is my logic logical?

I have a new fear which I have not overcome.

I think this will take time and effort.

I'm worried that family and friends get the wrong idea that my motive is to make money from them so i tried to be low profile. 

There is nothing wrong for them to have such thoughts. Because they may have been scared by people whose motives are, well, simply to make money from them and run away. 

I had that kind of experience too. For example, that insurance that I bought. Before I committed myself, she was sOOo friendly and helpful until I signed that paper. 

And that direct sales membership which i signed up because i wanted to learn how to have better health etc. As soon as i committed, my previous upline disappeared. And it was a miracle is that I actually obediently purchased health products for 3 years without supervision. 

Despite the above, I don't close my hearts. I don't know whether to call myself a fool or a kind hearted person  :P I just think that not everyone is like that. 不能一竹竿打翻一船人.I believe that there are good people out there who genuinely want to share good things with me. By giving them a chance, i also give myself an opportunity. Who knows, this might be the thing i need :) 

I've a friend who is doing part time direct selling. She shares information she learns during her classes, sends me pamphlets of monthly promotion, asks me to attend talks regarding health etc. She does the same for others. Then one day, a colleague told me that she feels that my friend just wants to make money out of her. I was stunned! I truly appreciate my friend's gesture because without doing anything, I got to enjoy the fruits of her hard work!. And I just think that it's appropriate that I pay for such "services " because how else would I find out about the good things if it weren't for her who has invested time, money and effort to discover and test them? And only by "paying" her, she would have an income to sustain her act.  And only by giving them a try would i know if the items are worthy of my money or not. 

Haha, i don't know. I have always been a weird one. I don't even know if my logics are logical to you or not haha...

What do u think?

《小小生病體悟語》

在醫院時，有位同事上班時間突然跑來找我。
她說：我找你找了好多天！打(電話）去你的位子總是沒人接。原來你在這裡！
找我找的那麼急，怎麼啦？我問她。
她回說她有心事想要跟我說~
也就是說，她找不到我的期間，她被她的心事困擾了好幾天 @-@

安慰她後，她鬆了氣的說早知道就來這裡找我。

躺在病床上，我突然體悟：

尿憋久了會尿道發炎
屎憋久了會便秘
心事憋久了會有心病，會失去快樂
照這樣來說，真的不該憋。
不該留的應該及時‘丟掉’
丟掉是為了走更長遠的路。

Searching for new love~~~

It was 3 am in the morning.

I was still wide awake.

My body was tired but my brain refused to go to sleep.

I replayed today's events - what did I do or had that made me unable to sleep?

Was my brain too stimulated from the cleaning which I did just before i went to bed?

Wait! My heart was bumping pretty crazily, it must be the bitter coffee which I struggled to finish this afternoon! Darn~ 

I was once addicted to milk tea.

After many years, I finally got rid of my milk tea addiction.

However, I am hooked to white coffee instead.

I must admit, I'm not really great in coffee. Black coffee tastes like medicine. I don't know how ppl can be addicted to it. And sometimes coffee makes my heart beats faster than usual and gives me headache.

White coffee on the other hand, tastes pretty good to me coz it's not too bitter and not too sweet. Although coffee at some places can still make my heart pumps faster and gives me headache.

Then my addiction went a bit wild. I started having Kopi C (white coffee) everyday. Sometimes even having it twice a day @.@

Lately, I feel my heart pumping fast after coffee and my body starts sweating.

I think it's my body telling they don't want coffee. 

I think I should listen to my body and quit drinking coffee.

It's time to find new love.

Searching.... searching.....

The door to the world

Woo hoo, i'm ready to go off anytime! hehe..

My passport is renewed for another 5 years! Yaye~~

Actually, I wasn't looking forward to getting a new passport after seeing Jane's new black and white passport photo. I remember when Jane showed it to me while I was eating, the rice in my mouth spilled out for i couldn't hold myself for not laughing. I'm sorry Jane, for the impoliteness.  It is just too hilarious.  i think the immigration 'fish-eyed' her photo. I don't know why. 

Jane has problem with it at every immigration. The officers would frown, kept trying to match the photo against the real person in front of them. Sometimes the officer would get another colleague to 'double confirm'. She even got questioned many times. It sure isn't fun, especially having to live with it for the next 5 years! Poor Jane~

I still prefer my previous coloured picture but the new black and white one is not so bad la. at least it DOES look like the real me. I showed Jane, she gives compliments and also said that she thinks I look a bit pale in the picture.

Hmmm.. what does she expect from a black and white picture?

This maybe?

So cute ;P how great if i could use this as my passport photo :P

A cake just for me!

i must show off one of the birthday cakes i received from my friends this year.

A few years ago, i received a Yam basket as a birthday cake. It was unusual but thoughtful as my friends know i am yam lover.

This year, my friends got me something unusual again. I couldn't stop laughing when they presented it to me. It is a Pooh Bear-themed Jelly cake! And it's 3-D! There is a big pooh bear standing on top of the cake as if he is the ruler of the bear kingdom! When u move the cake, the pooh bear ruler jiggles with joy. haha, it is so cute! 

Soooo many Pooh Bears!

The Chinese says, a good dish should have good colour, frangrance and taste (色香味俱全). This one definitely meets the criteria haha.. it's colourful and cute, it smells like coconut and it tastes cool and coconuty too... Unlike the traditional birthday cake which makes u feel full after a mouthful, with this one, once u start, u can't stop! It cools our body in this hot weather and also refreshing because of the coconut milk. 

What's more interesting about this jelly cake is that, u can play with it! hahaha...

I can 'dismantle" them and 

eat them like this or like that....

I don't normally eat pooh bears but these bears are quite tasty :P

Holely Moly!

Lately, I realised that it is best to just be simple. 

Simple outfit, simple hairstyle, simple home, simple car, simple meal....

The simpler things are, the simpler life will be.... trust me, I have been there...

The other day, I decided to rush to the nearest money changer to exchange some money for my mum's upcoming trip. Just when I was about to reach my destination, it started to rain cats and dogs. I decided to park at the basement. Smart choice because upon leaving, when i started the engine, the sun roof suddenly opened up by itself. No matter how hard i pressed the "close" button, it just wouldn't shut T___T  I thought of driving it back with  a BIG hole on the roof but when I was approaching the exit, I saw that it was still raining heavily! Sigh... I was late. I needed to go back. What should i do?!

Of course many crazy ideas went through my mind. May be I could use an umbrella to cover the 'hole' while driving? Or maybe i just let the rain washes down ? Of course in the end, i decided to get my colleague to come to save me while I left my car in the public car park with a wide-opened sun roof. 

This is when I came to realise that one fancy feature means one additional problem. 

The mechanic called me and told me that the sun roof CANNOT be fixed. Apparently, the 'controller' is spoilt and to replace a new set of sun roof, it will cost me $4,900. WHAT?! I told her not to fix it. Just find a way to seal it up since we do not use the sun roof anyway. 

So how many times do u we get something we don't really use or don't really need, or we bought it but instead of making life simpler, it makes life more complicated?

Big hole!

If u are lucky, u might even get poo-ed by the birds!

Of course in this case, we didn't get the car because of the sun roof. it just comes with it whether we want it or not. It is, however an additional selling point for the seller. 

Like what my mum sometimes say, one more kid, one more problem. But now that all her kids have grown up and turn out not to be so bad, she must be grateful that she has so many of us hehehe...

古晉老街的美

上週的煙霾真的很嚴重。雖然空氣不新鮮，視線也不清楚但還是不阻止我和朋友出外~　誰叫吃喝玩樂這麼重要？哈！

我很喜歡逛老街 (part 1, part 2)。有時我會找一個時間，把車子停的遠遠的，然後古晉老街趴趴走。看著前人留下的痕跡，似乎可以感受到他們為了在異鄉生活而做的努力～　他們努力的創造他們懷念自己家鄉的建築，手藝，文化等，如今我們的政府卻為了呈現華麗的城市而把這些可貴的建築屋剷平。雖然感謝政府為了提升人民的生活品質而建了很多新的設備，但真心希望他們可以以不傷害原本樣貌的方式去進行。歷史一定要被保留呀！我們古晉也是個有故事的城市～　古老的手藝也漸漸消失因沒人願意繼承這堅苦的工作。週末時間，大家都往 Shopping Mall 去，沒人願意在炎熱的天氣裡逛老街。如果大家繼續這麼不關心自己的'故事'，真擔心有天這些寶貴的建築，手藝，文化等會隨著時間消失了～　

最近發現朋友也跟我有同樣的想法。他說有天他跟同事聊起老街的回憶，而同事卻回他說他從不到老街，不懂他在說舍。朋友聽了很驚訝，年齡沒有很大的距離，怎麽會沒逛過老街？這就是可怕的地方～　

放假的那天，我們倆相約到老街喝咖啡去。不是因為我們老了，而是我們想要在他們還沒消失前好好珍惜也把他們記錄起來。

大家或許不知道，在這老街里，隱藏了一家保留傳統咖啡的咖啡店吧？你知不知道古晉有條街曾經被稱為“棺材街＂？　有天我和朋友們提起這名字。很妙的是，竟然沒人聽過！怎麼會這樣？ ！

這傳統咖啡店就座落在棺材街。說實在的，我常經過這間咖啡店但卻第一次踏進它！相見恨晚！但遲到好過沒到，呵呵～　　咖啡店的座位不多，我們坐下來後，我細細看四周，哇！好古老！電視機，冰箱，時鐘，櫃子等都是老舊的。仿坲我坐了時空機回到了從前。

哇，還掛著國父孫中山的照片呢！

是不是很有古早味？ 

咖啡店的开放式厨房

古老的開關

老闆和老闆娘是安娣安哥（aunty uncle)。我們點了他們的傳統飲料”果比股油“　（福建話：　咖啡加牛油／奶油）。雖然古晉的咖啡豆原本就是咖啡豆跟牛油一起炒，泡出來的咖啡有一種香味，但在咖啡裡加牛油還真的是罕見。牛油在熱熱的咖啡中慢慢溶化，同時聞到咖啡香和牛油香，真的很想趕快喝！我平時不喝黑咖啡因為好像在喝苦茶但加了牛油的果比真的有點像加了奶的咖啡。好喝！我們邊喝邊吃在附近的老店買的蛋撻，真的是美妙的搭配！雖然卡路里爆表，但就先甜後苦吧～　待會兒去 gym　待久些就是了。人啊，要為自己的所作所為負責嘛～　

果比股油

我也跟朋友提起這條街的俗名，他也搖頭說不懂這名字。我們立刻問安娣安哥。他們說，對啊，大家以前都叫這裡棺材街因為有很多賣棺材的在這裡營業。看吧！哈哈，我突然覺得我好像是古人。怎麼大家都不曉得但我卻知道。突然覺得我沒去當歷史家好可惜，呵呵～　

老街的过去

我很喜歡這里古色古香的擺設。再加上一杯傳統果比股油，我好像回到了當時的世界。我想像當時大家忙碌了一整天后到這裡來飲咖啡和朋友聊天放鬆。對有些人來說或許到此喝一咖啡是一種奢侈。我下次還要來，而且還要带其他朋友們來老街逛和吃吃喝喝。希望大家一起努力保留我們的“故事”。

Go away and never come back again...

最近我们每天都活在朦胧，灰色的世界里。 好久沒有看見藍天白云了。空氣也很有‘味道’ T___T

這些日子我們跟煙霾24/7 共處。真的很不好受！

星期一晚上下起雨來。我樂的呢！想說這下終於可以跟煙霾說拜拜了。歐耶！

第二天一早拉開窗簾，唉呀，怎麼外面還是一片朦朧？ ！而且还比前一天更糟！是清晨的霧嗎？空气中带有臭味，哦，是烟霾~  唉，心情低落。。。

今天的煙霾更嚴重了。連學校都停課了！

灰色的世界

我仔細的算了一下，哇，煙霾不知不覺已跟我們相處了18年耶！已变成了我们的季节之一了。真可悲！人家有春夏秋冬，我们却有雨季，旱季及烟霾季！

我们忍受了18年了。如果煙霾是人類的話，他已經是18歲的轻少年了耶！上大学，交女友的年龄了！說真的，我們真的很不愛你，每年都跟你提出分手但你还是死缠烂打。真的很烦人~

我們的鄰居呀，18年了，到底什麼時候我們才可以正式跟煙霾說拜拜？這已經不是1，2年的問題了。 18年了耶！還是沒改進，真的真的說不過去喔！可以麻煩你趕緊 do something 嗎？

燒森林的人們呀~  因為你們的方便和己利益，全東南亞的人民都賠上了健康，可怜的动物们也因此失去了他们的家园~ 真的很不仁道喔。

如果大家可多为其他人着想，世界就可以比较和平了~ 

Yippee.. i got what I wanted!

I used to go to gym but ever since it closed down 4 years ago, I have not been doing any frequent, systematic exercise. At first, i wasn't used it. I looked hi & low for a new gym, tried jogging outdoors, watched exercise program on youtube, joined marathon, went swimming.... but none of these lasted... I gave up after a while. Ever since then, I live my life without any exercise :P I kinda enjoy the lazy life though hehe..... No wonder people said one can develop a new habit within 3 months... 

2 years ago, many new gyms started to mushroom around the town... I was so excited and started to look into what various gyms have to offer. Some have good facilities and classes but their prices are too 'hot & spicy" (high). Some are affordable but are too far from my home. Some are close to my home but are too expensive. Hmm, life is definitely more complicated when there are too many choices! :P

After 2 years of consideration (aka procrastination), I decided to join a 24 hour gym. They have adequate machines and entrance & monthly fees are affordable... But I continued to procrastinate because I didn't like the bathroom. It sounds lame but bathroom is very very very important to me! In fact, it's the number 1 thing in my list.  Haha, the things I'm persistent at :P

Good things do come to those who wait. One of my friends' friend decided to drop out from a prestigious gym which I've been eye-ing for. And she is letting her membership go at half the price. I grabbed the deal immediately without any hesitation.... simply because it has a nice bathroom haha... The monthly fee is slightly higher than the 24 hour gym which I initially wanted to join but with free use of sauna, spa, jacuzzi, swimming pool, basement parking, towels, how could I say no? 

I went to the gym on Sunday. Wah, nice to be doing physical work out once again.  But after 29 mins of hard run, i only burned 112 calories?! @____@

waliao eh, wanna pengsan already

 Mannnn... I better think twice before I eat kolomee next time!
