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

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

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

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

merry christmas & happy new year

well well... i'm back at last
been sick since I came back from Bintan
went there for a one day rest after my wedding

the preparation for my wedding was tiring
a few sleepless night just to get the slideshow done
the wedding night was fantastic
lots of friends turn up from different places to share the joy
it was a wonderful night but I'm really deeply sorry for not able to spend more time with you guys
especially those waited for me for the second round... coz I was really to drunk to join u all

came back from holiday, was very busy as expected
tons of work waited for me to finish
went for the pre-x'mas company party in karaoke
didn't stay long coz wasn't feel well

this christmas was quite bad coz i'm very sick
christmas eve suppose to be half day work but i ended up worked for the whole day alone... with my sick body
of course didn't get to spend the night with stella too

still feeling sick right now...
hope will get well soon

give me a healthy start for the new year
happy new year everyone~

it's quite disappointing that quite a lot of my friends can't make it to attend to my wedding... it's festive season and some of them already have plan for other things... too bad

designed the eDM for my wedding invitation but seems like not everyone manage to view it, so just put it up here to share share...

i dun like free gift...

went shopping with stella just now, and we got a 2009 calendar and umbrella as free gift

when we were on the way back, I was just simply flipping the calendar and counting how many holiday we have for next year, and stella suddenly ask me to check out what day is 28 september

i can't remember any special day in september, so without thinking I asked her 'what's happening on that day...',

and the answer was 'that's our wedding day in korea...'

birthday celebration

前几天看了篇新闻是说有位初院女生与同学庆祝生日时被恶整
后来看了相关的录影觉得还真是残忍甚至还有点变态

以前当然也有过年少轻狂的日子但也还没玩得那么过分过
现在的年轻人到底在想什么呀

相关报道与影片

上个星期回新山为朋友庆祝生日
一行九人中六位来自吉隆坡一位来自马六甲还有我跟stella从新加坡过去
象什么高峰会议酱我们千里迢迢跋山涉水只为了跟他庆祝生日比办大寿还隆重哈哈

事前他完全不知道我们有这样的安排所以这就是一个传说中所谓的惊喜派对
我们跟他的女友串通好把他带到一间他们常去的饭店
然后从后偷袭他把他感动得都快哭了

第二场去喝酒跳舞
好久没去迪斯科了刚进场觉得完全不搭因为里边都是小朋友看起来好多好像都还没断奶的样子
后来几杯黄汤下肚刚好音乐又跟我们很搭象当年我们泡夜店最凶的日子所以就跟着摇起来了呵呵
好久没玩了感觉很好不过被烟熏的眼睛很痛呼吸困难有点不舒服所以我也难得喝酒没抽烟
那晚很好玩然后有点怀念以前的日子

要看照片的话可以去看他们其他人的部落格因为当晚我懒得拍照：

其他人好像都很闲早早就放上他们的部落格所以我本来就想省下不写
但看了之前说的那篇报道就有感而发还是写了。。。

my korean wedding: part 2

不好意思，各位久等了
最近很忙，到现在才有时间更新，呵呵

第二部分的婚礼通常只有家人和亲戚能出席

其他朋友如果有安排的话就会被带去吃饭，不然就会直接回家吃自己

这一部分韩语叫"pae bek"，中文是“幣帛”。。。

我也不知道是什麽意思，可能是要用钱买新娘吧，呵呵

ladies and gentlemen, here comes the part 2!!! he he...

sorry for being late, was very very bz lately

the second part of the wedding ceremony was held in a small hall
it's only for family and close relatives... other friends and colleagues normally will not be attending to this session

this session is called "pae bek" in korean, in chinese it's called "幣帛"

刚开始先正襟危坐拍拍照
first we sat at the front of the hall, simply just posing and take photos

类似华人婚礼，我们也要给父母敬酒（不是茶喔），当然也有拿红包啦，呵呵
similar to chinese tradition, we need to bow and serve wine (not tea!) to my parents, and they gave us ang pao in return.

敬酒过后我们俩就要从两边拉一块布来接我妈向我们抛来的栗子和红枣
栗子是儿子，红枣是女儿。我们接到了三颗栗子，表示我们将会有三个儿子 :P

接下来我们就向stella的父母、我的家人然后她的家人与亲戚敬礼和敬酒

then my mum were asked to throw some chestnuts(?) and red dates to us, and we were suppose to catch em with the cloth as seen in the photo. the number of chestnuts and red dates caught means the number of son/ daughter we'll have.

chestnuts means son, red dates means daughter
we got 3 chestnuts, which means we'll have 3 sons, ho ho...

then we bow and serve wine to my parents-in-law
and then followed by my family members and stella's family

接下来的仪式很有趣
stella咬着红枣的一端我咬着另一端，然后两边一起扯
咬到红枣核的就是有话事权’的人。。。我输了 orz。。。

after bow and serving wine to the people, it's our turn to drink!
and then, stella need to bite a red date, and i had to bite from the other end of it and pull
whoever got the seed will be the one in power... and stella got the seed...
see how happy she laugh, and bitter smile on my face... ha ha

权力大战后，接下来我就要背着新娘子绕场一周
整个仪式到此正式结束

和家人拍照后就换衣整装到附近的酒店吃安排好的自助餐
因为接下来要赶到机场去济州岛，所以我们俩只能囫囵吞枣胡乱吃点东西填填肚子
可是酱也给了我很好的借口不用跟她的韩国亲戚对酒，呵呵~

after the power struggle, I'll have to carry stella at the back and walk round the table
till then, the ceremony was considered completed.
we then went out from the hall and take photos with our families.

after changing, we went to a hotel nearby to have buffet dinner
we didn't really enjoy the great food because we needed to rush to airport to catch the flight to Jeju Island to start our honeymoon trip
but that gave me a good excuse not to drink with the korean family... that's really lucky, he he...

next... we off to Jeju Island for our honeymoon...
to be continue, he he

my korean wedding: part 1

ha ha, I know you guys have been waiting for this
this time I'll really try to update as soon as I can... try my best :P
and due to the popular demand, I'll try to write in both English and Chinese, he he...

剛從韓國行完婚禮回來，這就是我的韓國傳統婚禮的照片
我們行的是韓國傳統婚禮，現在來説就算是韓國人也很多都沒看過
然後我的家人也一起飛去韓國，所以這次婚禮對我們和親戚朋友來說都是很有意義的

ok, ladies and gentlemen, here are my korean wedding photos (part 1)... ta la

cover shot, this is taken before the ceremony started.
儀式開始前先擺擺款，是不是很象在拍戲。我覺得有點像好色的皇帝在調戲良家婦女的感覺，呵呵~

we walked to the stage one by one...
first i went up there to bow to my father-in-law, then followed by Stella
我們分別有兩個人陪著走上台， 後面還有人撐黃傘，象黃帝出遊醬
我先在臺上向岳父大人行大禮，然後Stella才到臺上來

after that we just follow instruction from the host to bow and make toasts to each other.
luckily the host can speak a little bit of English, plus the help from the guy kneeling next to me, I was still manage to follow the steps.
然後就是夫妻交拜，還有互相敬酒
敬酒時其實只需要意思意思沾沾唇就好，可是什麽都不知道的我卻一口干了
跪著要站起來時因爲衣服太長絆到了有點站不穩，搞得哄堂大笑

then we walked down from the stage, friends and relatives throw some rice on us
接下來我們從臺上走下，親友們就在兩旁把米往我們身上撒（應該是米吧？）


finally, we went back to the stage again together with our parents, bow and thank to those who attended the ceremony. then we were off to say bye to friends who were leaving, and took photos with people before the next phase of the ceremony starts
最後，我們跟父母回到臺上鞠躬謝禮，然後就個別跟要離開的朋友們拍照道別致意

till then it's the end of the first phase of the ceremony
friends were leaving or off to the dinner/ meal provided at another place, as the second part is only for family and close relatives, which I will cover in the next blog entry
第一的婚禮到此結束，通常朋友們到此就會離開或到安排好的地點去用餐
第二部分的婚禮是只有家人和近親才能出席的，下次再續。。。

小叮当

在+Y那里看了哆啦A夢的結局篇
从没想过哆啦A夢也会有完结篇
记得小时候他就是我最喜欢的漫画
也从那时就开始有了看漫画及收集漫画的习惯

还有还有，那时有个邻居的朋友教我怎么画小叮当
从那时起我就喜欢胡乱涂鸦
现在从事设计也不无关系
后来那位朋友溺水淹死了
可是我到现在还是记得那天傍晚
我们在沙地上用小木条画了好多个大大的小叮当的情景

一直很喜欢小叮当
虽然他的正名是哆啦A夢
但在我的记忆里却还是永远的小叮当
