不幸中的大幸!

我真的很烏龍!!

上星期四早上，我到公司後才發現我把裡面裝有我的早餐和水的包包留在家門外。我很少會忘記的。早餐耶，是我一天中最重要的一餐！還有我是出了名的水桶。我每天都要喝很多很多的水，所以我都會帶自己的水瓶去上班。嗯，我是幫公司省錢的好員工！哈~ 所以啊，忘了這麼重要的東西真的不是我的作風！

由于我不想參與塞車，所以我等了約一個小時才開車回家去。到家裡時，我發現我家裡‘冒煙’!! 是真的冒煙啊！好多好多烏煙從窗口冒出來。我立刻想起我早上有熱湯但忘了關瓦斯啦 >_<

剛好我爸媽沒在家，沒人發現那鍋黑豆豬肉湯還在滾。結果鍋子和裡頭的黑豆和豬肉焦掉了。家裡被臭臭的煙包圍。鍋子黑了，裡面的黑豆豬肉也變成黑炭了.....

我後來回想所看到和發生的，我沒想到自己竟然那麼冷靜! 以前的我一定會很緊張，生氣。會怪天怪地。現在的我反而很感恩。感謝我忘了帶早餐和水瓶。因為我的建忘我才會回家。才會發現瓦斯沒關。我的家才會安然無恙。

我發現，原來從另一個角度看事情，真的可以很自在！

What's that?

....Was driving home from work as usual...

Something caught my attention.... Immediately, I took out my phone to take picture despite the danger of doing so while driving.... all because i wanted to share with all my beloved friends of the interesting and rare sight i saw... i know, i'm nice... just like always :P

Let's test how observant you are ~ Can u spot the "interesting and rare sight"?

Hints: "I'm blue and round.

I can't play piano coz I have no fingers" (-_-)

Hahaha.. i think the hints are very clear.... if u don't get it right, it's OK because u have a good friend (me me me) to share good and interesting stuff with ya :P

The blue blue thingie was dangling at the bottom of the car in front of me... almost touching the road. I thought, perhaps an important part of the car came off and the driver didn't know about it. So i sped up a bit to have a clearer view ...

Then I laughed... It was Doraemon. I wonder why he was down there... Did he lost his small helicopter which is his usual 'transportation' and needed a ride to get to his destination? Nothing is more adventurous than this ! Doraemon must be having a hell lot of fun down there! haha...

"an an an tottemo daisuki Doraemon"

Translation: ah ah ah, I love you very much, Doraemon

P/s: Please don't try this at home. Doraemon has undergone special training before he 'flew' on the road. Thank You.

我們的玩意兒

現在的小孩物質上不缺乏，一人一架智慧型手機和ipad已是平常事了。

記得小時候，我們的玩具得靠自己的想象力創造的。有次我們和家裡的狗狗玩警察捉小偷的游戲。我們到處亂跑，狗狗在后面拼命得追。然后我們會 爬上鐵籬笆休息。狗狗會因為捉不到我們而在籬笆邊奔奔跳跳汪汪叫。然后我們又會找時機再從高處跳下來，又繼續了狗狗追我們的游戲。這就是我們的童年。 有時我們也會有想要的東西，但奇怪的是我們很少會去跟爸媽伸手要錢。我記得我們帶著家裡的狗狗到叢林裡採野菜，然后把菜賣給隔壁家的阿姨。我們還 手工制作了 一些書簽，然后在家門口擺攤子作起生意來。噢，原來我們小時候就當小老板了。呵呵。。。。 不過這‘小生意’也不長久，因為后來我們把媽媽廚房裡的用具拿到后院開始了我們的餐廳。當媽媽發現我們把她不鏽鋼的小鍋子拿到花園裡以干了的芒果葉子燒菜 時， 把我們罵了一頓。后來我們在樹下挖了個洞，把燒得黑黑的鍋子埋在地上，做成了一個小湖。湖裡的小魚是我們到路邊的水溝捉的。現在回想我的童年，我真的覺得 我們的想象力很豐富！哈哈~~

那天和朋友約會。因為天氣很熱，我們決定去吃冰。進到cafe裡，看見一些顧客們在玩手提電腦，有些在玩手機。就連餐廳的點餐方式也是採用touch screen的電腦。好先進吶！現代的人已經被科技控制咯。我和朋友也在cafe玩起來了。猜我們的玩意是什麼?

"喵，我要吃冰！"

我們在天上飛！

累了。休息！

哈哈，我們倆的臉皮也太厚了吧。兩個老大不小的人竟在cafe玩娃娃。根本不把旁人放在眼裡嘛。呵呵... 不管啦，如果能讓别人把注意力從電腦和手機轉到我們的身上，那也不錯啦。而且娃娃那麼可愛，多看幾眼是應該的。哈哈！

When I was small....

The other day, I walked past KFC and saw many young kids q-ing up to order their food... then i passed by Starbucks and saw more young kids sitting in the cafe playing with ipads or smart phones in their hands and their Starbucks drinks on the tables.

Kids today are really so much well-off than us in the older days. When i was small, we never heard of computers. And our favourite past time is climbing my mum's mango and guava trees, catching fish in the drain, playing 'police & thief'... and food like KFC is a luxurious item... Starbucks? Never heard of it! And i had to find public phone to make calls!

When young, my parents couldn't afford a lot of things. Many kids had professional coach to teach them to swim. My swimming coach was my dad. He would bring us to public pool and sometimes the river to swim.. And my mum taught us backstroke.. she could float in the water without moving! As soon as we learned the skill, we naughty kids played 'floating corpse'.. it was funny!

Once after swimming, my dad took us to KFC for lunch. In the old times, having KFC is like a dream come true... All of us were so so excited! I still remember that we took an instant photo with the Astronaut billboard just outside KFC. Because it cost money to take picture and dad didn't earn that much that time, I didn't dare to ask for it... but dad let me have a picture taken... I remember the day very clearly because it was one of the best moments in my life....

I wonder if kids these days have memories like this....Most kids today are lucky.. they can eat KFC and drink starbucks everyday or 3 meals a day if they want! haha.

well... they are lucky to be born in this generation... for me, I am lucky to have memories like this one... coz it's not the food that matters, it's the precious moments spent with loved ones that is priceless...

A simple snack while looking out to the airfield

is enough to satisfy me

Slashed twice!

Poor me. I cut myself twice so far. My thumb and beautiful and thigh are no longer baby-skin smooth :'(

I only realised when I felt the sticky blood when i was in the supermarket. There was a lot of blood on my leg! Sigh.. no wonder people had weird expression on their face... They rather that i died due to loss of blood than came forward to tell me.. well, i guess over here, people are not 见死不救, they are just shy *自我安慰*

被划两刀！

"Very Good!"

The quiet-looking cactus at the corner of our car porch is to be blamed! Like my uni friend once said 'looks can be deceiving'. she is right! That cactus looks innocent but in fact it's deadly! It probably could be used as a weapon against bad guys!

Cactus: "What did i do?"

Cactus up close

Look at the thorns!

Oh well, no point blaming poor cactus. It is standing at the corner minding its own business. I was the one messing with it...

I've moved it elsewhere to prevent more injuries. After all, am not the only careless one. Right, Jane? haha...

分享好歌

最近聽見蕭敬藤在他的演唱會唱的一首英文歌叫 " Just the way you are"。真的很好聽！其實他唱什麼都好聽啦。呵呵...

歌詞寫的真的很美，再配上清快的音樂和蕭敬藤等於完美！哈哈！正翻了啦！ 聽了心情很快樂吶！如果你身邊已有一個如此爱你的另一半，记得要好好珍惜他喔！會幸福一輩子的！嘿嘿...

找了很久但没在youtube（土豆的很清楚！）找到清晰的萧敬藤和阿福演唱的"Just the way you are"的video。這是我看了那么多，quality最好的了。大家將就將就一下哦....

这是阿福个人版的。她的聲音很特别... 也很好 聽 ！

"Just the way you are"

~ Bruno Mars

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are, yeah

最近我同事們也很瘋 Bruno Mars 的歌。我介紹他們這首歌，他們竟然用很仰慕的眼神看著我說‘你很有Taste！" 哈哈~ 怎麼最近那麼多人崇拜我啊！我好不習慣啊！呵呵...不过，他们真的很有Taste! Haha...

CNY Fun!

This CNY, we didn't go very far... My dad decided the place because it's the most convenient - short flight for us and most importantly, the mid-point for my siblings... My sister flew in from Paris, Jane from Shanghai, bro from Singapore, niece from Australia... Just perfect!

I remember celebrating CNY in that same place exactly 10 years ago.. KL city was like a ghost town during CNY. Shops were closed and roads at Bintang Walk was super clear... And we had Indian food for 2 days.. not that we didn't like it.. it's just that, it was CNY, we wanted Chinese food! We decided to check out earlier and take a bus to Penang... We thought things would be better but we ended up with Indian food again T___T When my dad mentioned about family trip in KL this year, i didn't expect much.... worse come to worse, I will just sleep in the hotel...

But, things turn out pretty well this time... It's different in KL this time... Most shops only closed on CNY Eve night.. then it's business as usual the next day... Bintang Walk was full of people and cars! It made driving back to our hotel and have our car parked a nightmare! Fortunately, we have beautiful chinese new year deco to look at while we were stuck in the traffic hehe... It is my niece's first time celebrating CNY in M'sia. she was totally overwhelmed and loved the atmosphere! ^^

Here are some pictures we took in KL... We had a great time together! Went to Melaka and Klang. Tried their infamous food too.. Oh, and we had very nice durians in KL and Melaka. Yum yum!! I simply love the XO taste!! hehe, only the durian lovers will understand what I'm talking about :)
