汗颜

好几天没看报，刚刚才看到了中国女留学生被误抓在狱中度过八天的旧闻
看了些新闻报导，也读了她的狱中日记，感觉汗颜得无地自容
很多事我们都知道，可是能做些什么呢？大多数人选择了默默承受
但当这些我们试图视之不见的事被一个深受其害的外国人写了出来
我完全可以想象到那些人的恶心的嘴脸

她不止写了在牢里的体验，也道出了对马来西亚的印象
当提到她不义胆小的马来西亚华人（马华）朋友时，跟那个搞得沸沸嚷嚷的马华不是如出一撇吗？

但是，我们又能做些什么呢？
叹。。。

christmas eve

Stella and I hated to be in the crowd, so we decided to have a peaceful night at home instead.
while people queuing up in high class restaurant in their best dress, we just went downstairs kopitiam dabao some dishes from the mix rice stall.

the dinner was good, just a little too much that we can't finish all.



had a little red wine for the dinner, and we decided to watch a movie after that.
I suggested to watch "before sunrise" and "before sunset" coz they are Stella's favourite movies.

this is not the first time I watch the movies, just that I fall of sleep the previous time I watch them. now that I have subtitle for the movies, I managed to finish them all this time round.




I don't think I'd ever finish any of them if I were to watch them individually, but when put them together, it's an interesting story...

the first movie (1995) is about a guy and a gal met in a train. the guy had to fly back to US and the gal was heading to paris(?), but they decided to spend the few hours together in Vienna before they apart. well this is just a beautified one-night-stand story to me, doesn't really turn me on. the movie ended at the couple made a promise to meet each other again 6 months later at the same place.

the second movie (2004), before sunset, was 9 years after the first movie... the actor and actress are older now (both in the movie and real life). it's interesting to see the changes of their lives, and also changes of their character and personality.

basically it is just showing the couple talking and ranting for the whole movies, but it's interesting to watch them together. if watching individually... i'd recommend u to give it a pass... :P

oh by the way, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

shopping craze

went to orchard today after work coz needed to buy some stuff for the gift exchange tomorrow. expected to have a lot of people, but that's way tooooo much. it's just a normal weekday, why are there so many people? shopping don't need money? I'm shocked to see the crowd and the queue in almost all the shops... I can't even find any seat after checking out a few makan places, in the end had to bear with the hunger n head back home to eat at the kopitiam downstair instead.

at orchard I tweeted:
挤身于购物军队中 我窒息
醉生梦死 纸醉金迷 能不能有更平和的圣诞。。。

btw, anyone on twitter? can add me at my gmail add.

飞呀飞呀 小飞侠~

杀手

试着深呼吸，但是我的双手还是禁不著在微微发抖。紧握着武器的手心有点冒汗，粘粘的很不舒服。

他们还是在窗外徘徊叫嚣，就象烦人的苍蝇般挥之不去。他们在这有多久了呢？我己想不起来了。从我刚到家他们就在了，所以应该有两三天了吧。

我不想伤害任何人，可是为了守护我的家，我不得不那么做
手不自觉捉得太紧又在发抖了
真的不要逼我。。。

it's over

it's over, at last...

I'm so glad that i'm managed to go through this term of the Korean class
so much things happened and I was so busy for the past months
it's good that it's over now, and I'll have a little more of my own time
didn't really do well this term due to other commitment, but glad that I'm still able to pass.

I'm craving for books, can't wait to get some books to read...
and really expecting the coming long long holiday ^ ^

Japan Trip: Day 01

两个礼拜前公司旅行
本来是安排去年去的，但是大家都忙，拖到现在才能成行


ON ARRIVAL
匆匆忙忙赶完手头上的工作后大家冲到机场，还好没有误点
在机上看了出戏喝了点酒就睡了，为了第二天保留实力

到机场后买了巴士票，要等一个小时才开车
我们就随便在机场里溜达溜达

巴士超准时，服务员的服务也很好，不愧是日本
但开车后我们却被困在车龙里差不多两个小时，还好车上有厕所

路上乱拍

CHECK-IN + LUNCH
到酒店还太早不能check-in
放下大包小包的行李后我们就出去找东西吃去也

本来打算要吃拉面的，但看到店外的人龙就决定到另一家较少人的店去吃



STREET VIEW
吃饱后要去等巴士，路上看什么都很希奇，象乡巴佬酱

左边是电灯柱上的电箱 • 上图可爱的小绵羊 • 下图猜猜看是什么

GHIBLI STUDIO
然后我们就来到了日本动画的圣殿 - Ghibli Museum
馆内有好多东西看，由原稿、草图、雕像、玩具、短篇、3D立体动画等等
可惜馆内不能拍照，只拍到天台天空之城的机器人




DINNER
晚餐时间下雨，就随便找了家拉面店胡乱吃了碗拉面
店面超小，我们一行人就几乎塞满了整间店

进门先用自动贩卖机点菜
然后再把票根拿给老板为你准备食物

日本人吃东西很快
比我们迟来的人三两口吃完拍拍屁股就走了我们还在细嚼慢咽



SUBWAY
日本地铁满复杂的
不同的路线交错盘横，一不小心就会去荷兰
买票还蛮简单的，不过票价很贵

地铁站内的海报还蛮有趣的
"please do it at the beach"，叫你要玩到海边玩去
不过柱子旁的大叔大婶看起来还蛮可怕的
好像随时会发狂出手杀人的样子



SUPPER
搞了一整天回到酒店都快半夜了
日本人的肚子应该很小，那么一碗拉面怎能填得饱肚子
后来我们去麦当劳找东西吃
猪肉汉堡蛮不错的喔，不过可惜没有辣椒酱

I'm back

i'm back at last. it's good to be back...
will update photo n stuff later... but foresee that I'll be very bz recently, so just be patient n stay tuned, he he...

bad news

i hate to believe...
wake up this morning switch on TV, the news appear on TV is that Yasmin Ahmad passed away.



I've been following her blog, she was still active in posting news stuff and responding to ppl's post just few days ago. the last time I checked, no one posted anything to say goodbye to her. I guess most ppl choose not to admit the fact, and hoping that the whole thing is not real.

I saw her in real person once in one of the kancil awards, she was so charming and everyone cheered for her when she went up to the stage. her well known festive TVCs were so touching, it was always memorable and made ppl to think and talk about.

the last TVC of hers I watch in Singapore:

her death indeed is a great loss for the country, creative and film industry
may she rest in peace...

tea time

周末下午午餐過後泡壺茶和Stella閒話家常
人生寫意，不過如此



韓國茶跟中國茶有點不同
他們不用沸水而用溫水泡
泡的時間也很短，幾乎是一泡即斟
味道淡淡的卻又有點似有若無的沁香

Stella的朋友的朋友在山區做陶瓷畫畫
這茶是她自己種的
連包裝上的畫也是她自己畫的
我們說好下次去會到那裡去住住
滿期待的

birthday

i think it's a curse...

I remember that last year my birthday I was in office worked till mid night too... so late till Stella gotta call to wish me happy birthday, coz she didn't get to celebrate with me...

and this year, past midnight already and I'm still in office... DAMN!!!

but good thing is still got a few piggy friends online, and we were having MSN group chat to have an online birthday party, ha ha. quite a rare experience indeed :)

this morning (yesterday morning should I say) just logon to MSN and got a few mesg asking me to check out their blogs: ah gary & ah butt

very surprised and touched... eventhought i haven't got time to watch the videos yet. the old fellas still very creative wo... have long distance celebration for me.
but ho... after a while i realised their true intention, actually wanna 'wat' me to pay for their dinner bill... walau eh... "sky reason is where"?!?!?!!?

上上上個周末去看了場電影
是出齣日本電影，名字叫【送行者~禮儀師的樂章】(Departures/ Okuribito)


故事是說一个失意的大提琴师在东京混不下去了所以决定回乡发展
然后在阴差阳错下当了为逝者送行的礼仪师
主要为逝者净身着衣上装让他们能以最美好的一面离开
从开始的主角不能接受到慢慢体会其中的意义
从家人朋友都不谅解到渐渐接受的过程

故事起伏不大但却不会乏味
满有意思的

让我惊奇的是久违了的广末凉子也有份参与，还大胆演出被摸胸
然后然后，在完场才知道配乐的是久石让，不愧是大师

看完电影就和朋友们去吃晚饭
吃的是印尼餐，比之前我在巴厘岛吃的还好吃

吃完大家随便聊聊也蛮轻松写意的
但是聊得太久有点尿急我就起身上厕所去也
话说上完厕所出来由于光线不是很足
然后一个不留意就不小心撞上了爿玻璃门
顿时半颗牙就被撞断了

在厕所洗洗之后出来跟朋友们说起还觉得蛮有趣的
就张着血盆大口在傻笑，呵呵~

看看照片吗？
左边是在医院等的时候拍的，血还没止

第二章 掃蕩行動

最近一直很忙
忙公司工作也忙著上課準備考試
哦對了可能你們還不知道我正在上韓語課程
初級班上了兩個多月快要結束了
禮拜四是我們的期末考試所以都忙著復習準備

考完試回家途中經過加漫畫店進去
看看才發覺原來這家店快結束營業了正在廉價出售存書
花了點時間撈了兩套便宜漫畫回家

最高興的是買到了浦澤直樹的《monster》
幾年前看過了這套漫畫后就頗爲震撼
集懸疑驚悚灰暗人性警匪于一身，絕對是經典之作
之前介紹過這作者的另一作品《20世纪少年》值得推薦，有空可以看看

《Monster》故事很複雜不知道怎樣介紹
看看專家nobody的介紹吧 --> All About Comics

星期四的晚上就以考完試的輕鬆心情和執到寳的歡愉
抱著大包的漫畫傻笑回家

recently...

最近發生的很多事，滿精彩的，報告一下

第一章 人形麻將
上個星期我跟Stella都病了
星期三我們一起請了病假在家休息
早上看醫生時我們一起進去
醫生檢查了Stella跟我們說了說病情后我就跟她換位子然後跟醫生說我就是下位病人
醫生愣了愣才囘過神來

我們的病情很接近
瀉肚子發冷全身無力肌肉酸痛食欲不振反胃欲嘔
醫生看了說不是食物中毒不是瘧疾所以應該沒什麽大礙
還好我沒懷孕

回家后我因爲背腰痛得厲害就去看了看中醫
大夫四管齊下針灸拔罐推拿配藥試圖為我打通任督二脈
療程過後回家一看才發現大夫已經把我弄成了個萬中無一的人型八筒
被我那班麻將發燒友看到可能會情不自禁的想要摸一摸我


再續。。。

Bali trip

went to Bali 2 weeks ago, with group of friends frm Malaysia.
it was a really big group, feels like we were in a package tour but in fact we were just free & easy.

it wasn't an impressive trip, nothing memorable.
felt a bit disappointed about Bali, but after came back and heard that there are actually lots of things we haven't seen. may consider to go there again...

anyway, just treated this as a good breakaway from my recent busy workload
I wish i could had more massage sessions like the previous Thailand trip

not much to talk about, this is just mainly to show show some photos i took :P

happy CNY

过年了 大家新年快乐

这是我婚后的第一个新年
但也还是跟往年没两样
过年大部分时间都在看戏
家里的韩国新媳妇也在狂看韩剧 旗鼓相当
过年通常我都会呆在家里
然后今年年初二就会开工所以应该也不用花太多钱包红包

昨晚吃过团年饭后哥哥接到电话
说他朋友的朋友去拜年
才刚下车就被人砍伤抢了包包
虽然是在过年但我还是忍不住诅咒抢匪天打雷劈不得好死
抢钱就好何必伤人呢

无聊的年 就拿着相机在家四周随便拍拍
才发现我已经很久没有注意过我的家了
每次回来都是匆匆忙忙的
去旅行还会留神注意但在家却好像比过客还过客

有点灰的新年

first day of 2009

新年的第一天我在家看了三部电影
全都是不用脑的动作片只要瘫在那就行了
今天整天都在家吃饭很好吃午餐还吃了韩国的年菜



说起吃前几天刚学了吃韩国泡面的方法
(1)首先可以用免洗筷夹着碗盖酱就不会翘开
(2)时间到把碗盖完全撕下来
(3-5)对摺再对摺然后拉开变成杯状
(6)嗒啦，可以用来装面了！

酱子吃的话可以吃得比较快因为面条没那么烫
加上韩国人喜欢跟朋友一起分享食物酱很方便


为了迎接新年前几天在图书馆花了点时间
因为想要在新年的时候可以读比较开心的书
然后才发觉我喜欢的作者如村上龙余华石田衣良等好像都不是很开心的
后来借了四本书只有一本是比较可以过年看的
