百万富翁

 以前我就很爱玩百万富翁。以前我们也不是很懂这个游戏的含义，反正就是买买地，建房子，收租金，越多钱越好。现在还是觉得很好玩。几十年以来，除了飞机棋，蛇棋，星星棋，这是其中一个百玩不腻的游戏。玩得时间特别长。

那天，不知侄子哪里听到百万富翁的游戏，吵着要玩。我们觉得这个游戏也挺好的，可以教他赚钱，数钱和做决定。那天晚上吃饱后已经很晚了，大华已经关门了，我们就带他去马当看看还有没有店在卖？我以前在 Matang Jaya 的一个书店买过星星棋，很便宜，可惜去到的时候人家已经关门了，所以我们就去 100%， 然后去 Supersave 找找，结果都没有。后来是在 Popular 看到，可是一盒要 RM 25 块！贵死了，我记得大华才卖 RM5！当然不买。侄子一直吵着要买，我们一直跟他说太贵了，我们等第二天去买 RM5 的。侄子就很不开心。姨姨们一直跟他讲道理，以后要他货比三家，能省则省。当然小孩子还是希望可以快点买到玩具，在车里，他一直闹别扭。反正大家不理他就对了。

第二天，吃完早饭，我们就带他到大华去买游戏。等了10分钟，看着侄子远远走过来的样子，就知道他已经买到盼望已久的游戏了。他一进到车里，就说，姨姨姨姨，我才花了 RM4.90 就买到百万富翁了。昨晚的太贵了！我可以在大华买5个啊。呵呵，不错，教导有方！

回家后，侄子迫不及待的邀我们跟他玩。跟他讲好游戏规则后，我们就开始分钱，买地。一开始，没什么很刺激的。不过游戏后，侄子会跟大姨姨偷偷说要跟我们合作，把小姨姨弄bankrupt。然后，我们讲策略。不错哦。不是教他做人要奸诈，而是通过友好和合法的方式让大家双赢。呵呵。

第二天玩的时候更加刺激了，大家都把土地买下，然后另外一个姨姨陆陆续续的盖房子后，刺激的就来了。现在是我和侄子没有存到一系列土地，所以不能盖房子，为了要凑齐，我们开始谈判收购土地。我和妹妹两人一直跟侄子游说，告诉侄子世界上就是会有这样的人，不是每个人都会为你着想，每个人都会有自己的目的。。所以不能轻易相信人等等等。可能侄子的心里的梦忽然被我搓破，他开始很慌张，不知所措，然后不敢下决定。我们跟他说，无论如何，要自己算算好处和坏处，和谈好条件。。现在是游戏，不用害怕做决定，每一个决定还可以重新开始。。。我估计侄子听到的应该是 bla bla bla bla bla bla 😆😆😆😆

第三天，我们又继续努力。。。。玩~~~ 侄子也开始因为自己做的决定而开始“赚钱”。。他很开心。不过我还是想说，现在8岁的小孩真的不简单，居然会读和会算。。我都不知道那时候8岁的我在干嘛。哈哈哈哈。原本侄子沾沾自喜自己很多土地很多钱，结果他一连串踩到别人有建房子的土地。第一次是踩到 resort，付了几千元，后来踩到我的建了房子的观光区，又付了几千，到最后踩到妹妹最贵的 resort， 付了11千。还开始抵押土地，筹钱换旅游费。到最后，侄子没钱赎回抵押的土地。。。我怕他丧失自信，就说，到此为止。不过这是他第一次已经很厉害料。下次再玩。

第二天吃早饭，侄子跟婆婆和妈妈说他昨天晚上输了。姨姨跟他说那是因为他还没赚很多钱就一直花大钱去旅行，所以才没钱了。所以以后要 plan 好好。要不就想办法赚多多钱，要不就不要乱花钱。。。想不到一个游戏，可以教侄子如何看待人生。。。这个 RM4.90 花得值得！

有侄子的日子不空虚

 8月某一个周末，姐姐的朋友带了两个小孩从法国过来古晋玩。为了让他们一家人体验古晋的美丽和独特，姐姐安排了一些行程。譬如去森林体验住在长屋；去Satan岛看海龟等等的行程。他的朋友一家人很喜欢古晋，说要把古晋当成第二个家。瞬间，我也觉得自己很幸运。因为古晋还是比较适合人居住的对方。

要出发去Satan岛的前几天，我们带姐姐和阳阳去体验古晋节。他们应该没有看过人山人海的画面，更没有体验过一下子有这么多美食的地方。在去古晋节的路上，我跟阳阳说，等下古晋节会有很多很多人哦，你要跟紧哦。不然你不见的话，就找不到婆婆妈妈和姨姨咯。后来，我说，你要背下来姨姨的手机号码。万一你不见的话，你可以找人帮你找姨姨。在车里的15分钟，阳阳尝试的背姨姨的手机号码。。可是小孩子就是无法专心。。怎么背也背不出来。不是少了一个号码，就是一个号码不一样。我们就跟他说，多一个少一个也找不到姨姨。一个号码不一样也找不到姨姨哦。我姐姐开始急了，为何10个数字都背不起来。下次要限制他看 ipad 的次数和时间了。曾经我们有跟姐姐说，不要让阳阳玩太多 iPad，他以后会很难专心。果然，他看到了问题！哈！

因为阳阳还是背不起正确的号码，他一直很乖的抓着我们。在回家的路上，我们又在考阳阳。。所以姨姨的电话号码是什么。。。这次他正确的背出来了 *欢呼* 大家给他拍手。他自己也很高兴终于背下10个号码了。我们说，这个只能在马来西亚用，下次你还是要背妈妈的手机号码哦。

过了好几天，到了周末。我们那天跟姐姐的法国朋友，我们的表哥和他几个朋友约好去Satan岛。一开始说是早上830 在 santubong 的码头见。为了先吃早饭，我们和姐姐跟侄子早上630am就出发去吃早饭了。因为路途遥远和岛上可能要上大号比较麻烦，Jennifer 就建议我们吃饱后去 Hilton 上厕所。这样大家也不用争厕所。感觉我们好像要去旅游，路上没什么车，空气好好。当天天气不是太美丽。没有蓝天白云。偶尔还会下毛毛雨。反正不管天气如何，出游总是开心的。Jennifer 停好了车，我们4人开开心心的下车，去了 hilton 地面那层上厕所。姐姐说他跟阳阳去其他地方上。所以我和Jennifer 上完厕所后，就在lobby等他们母子俩。哇，Hilton 有装修过，lobby变得更漂亮。更加大气了。我和Jennifer 正在聊天的时候，忽然她的手机响了。电话号码识陌生号码。Jennifer接起来的时候，对方问他是谁？Jennifer也一头雾水的问他，你是谁。原来，打电话的人是Hilton 楼下餐厅服务员打来的。他说有个小孩叫 YU， 他说他找不到妈妈和姨姨，他现在在楼下餐厅，你们可以来接他吗？😂😂😂😂😂 我赶紧走到楼下，看到阳阳站在服务员旁边，我一直跟他道谢。我就问他，妈妈叻？他说他不知道。他去上男厕所，后来进去女厕所叫我们，没人回应，所以他才找人帮他打电话。我们一直表扬他。果然没有让我们失望！姐姐的笑容也是笑到见牙不见眼。嘴唇快笑裂了。哈哈哈！

哇，我们教导有方。。阳阳居然记得我们教他的，而且还马上派上用场。我真心觉得阳阳真的很厉害。以前的我们哪有这种勇气。而且他还会用英文跟他们交流。有一天，我的二哥刚好来古晋。去机场前，他带我们所有人到 Saradise 的一家cafe。当时我们在点餐的时候，姐姐叫他问WiFi 的密码。阳阳想也没想那么多，就到柜台去说：（童音）excuse me, may i please have the wifi password? 可能是那个人戴口罩，所以他的回应阳阳听不见。他以为那个人没理他。阳阳用很无辜的眼神跟我说：他没有理我~~~ 我说：有，哥哥说等一下。

后来我们在各自聊天的时候，阳阳看到一个服务员在一个房间里包 sandwich，他就一直站在哪里看。自然服务员姐姐就跟他聊天。后来他们还真的聊了很久，我们要离开前，还要拉他走。他跟姐姐说再见后，我妈妈很好奇的问他。。阳阳，你刚刚跟那个姐姐在聊什么？猜猜阳阳说什么？他说：

我们在聊 POLITICS

听了我们大家笑翻了。。。。7岁的小孩跟20几岁的姐姐聊 Politics?! 我妈妈说：唉哟，你以后怎样跟女孩子打情骂俏？

太可爱叻。

是我老了吗？

 上个周末，我跟两个2字头的帅哥美女约吃饭。帅哥是我的整骨师。小鲜肉，人长得帅而且很 nice。眼看自己的疗程要结束了，以后要见到他，还要再花钱。听起来好像怪怪的。哈哈哈。上周六，朋友终于把他约出来了，我一开始还觉得他应该会拒绝我们。。谁要跟两个 aunty 约会。哈哈哈。平常我们整骨的时候，大概也只有10 到 15 分钟左右，聊天的时间可能才2，3分钟而已，不过他还是很用心的记得我们的聊天记录。很窝心和真诚。其实他对每一个人都一样啦。哈哈哈。

那天我们吃了一顿印度餐，后来再去喝了糖水。中间我们聊了很多话题。我们对他的疑惑全部都有了答案。譬如说，为什么会选择修整骨科因为不是很普遍？还有他看到人的时候他的脑海会不会出现我们的骨架的画面而不是我们的样子？他年纪多大？等等等。。。 结果，如我预料之中，他才27岁。虽然他才27岁，我感觉他的心态好老。通常这种年纪都是爱玩的，可是他就是像老人这样没什么活力的感觉。他还说自己老了。我跟朋友两人对看。。如果他27岁就觉得自己老了，那我们应该如何形容自己呢？难道我们是化石？哈哈哈。他说他心里很紧张，因为有太多的事情不可预测。当然，现在是疫情，他们的事业的进度多少也会有影响，加上他的另一半在 JB, 已经两年没见面了。他是香港人，却很 malaysian。。。这也是我朋友对他的好奇之一。他说以后要在马来西亚退休。不知道他爸妈知道后有何感想？呵呵呵

第二天，我去 meet 另外一位刚来新加坡做工的女生。他才29岁。我第一次见到他时，觉得他好小个子。才 149CM。我和另外一个朋友站在他旁边，显得自己好高大。虽然才29岁，他的想法很成熟。知道自己要什么。虽然现在的工资和职位不好，可是她有一颗很上进的心。很朴实的一个小女孩。他来了一周，哪里也没去，所以昨天我约了她和另外一个朋友去吃饭。然后当他一天的导游，带她到处逛新加坡。我也理解他现在没有工资，用的都是自己的老本，所以我们一路都是走路，不用花钱的行程。很贴心吧。我感觉这小女生对刚来新加坡没什么热情。也没有想趁空挡的时间“游玩”新加坡。记得当年我刚去香港的时候，我的心态是把自己当成游客，每一个周末，我不会呆在家里而是到处趴趴走。什么对我来说都很新鲜。也许新加坡和马来西亚太相似的关系，所以她没这个欲望？我和朋友当天当起了大姐姐，请他吃饭和喝水，不然她花老本。我们带她到 clarke quay, Chinatown, Marina bay sands等游客区逛逛，还要逼他拍照。好奇怪。哈哈哈，后来，走到脚累了，我们坐下来聊天，我也想起了当时我20几岁自己跑去香港的情景。大家看我现在很像过得很好，其实我16年前也是跟他一样。我真的觉得心态很重要。虽然我年纪也不小了，还是得保持年轻的心态，对事情可以再热情一点。讲着讲着，小女孩说自己老了。。。南尼？！我和这位朋友又对看。如果他老了，我们呢？

唉。。。有人说，如果要让自己感觉年轻，可以多跟年轻人相处。。。我啊，反而觉得跟年轻人一起，反而让我觉得自己更老。哈哈哈。。。

他们两人的路还有很长。现在是处于打拼时期，也是最忙的时期。成家立业照顾小孩在这十年。。希望他们两个能过自己要的生活。干巴爹

The making of French Apple Cake

 The other day, SML asked me if i wanted an oven. Actually i had been looking to buy a small oven to put at home.. somehow, i could imagine that i would be happily making cakes and cookies with it or bake my food with it too.. after many thoughts, i still decided not to get because my place is so small and my stuff are piling up.. all i did was, kept imaging until SML said her friend has an extra oven that she doesnt want and asked me if i want to take it 😀😀😀😀 YES OF COZ and why not?

about two weeks ago, SML delivered it to my place personally! Finally! i kept searching for recipes online.. before i got the oven, i felt that i had a lot of things to make.. after having it, i felt like there is nothing for me to make 😂😂😂 weird. I looked in the fridge to see what i have, suddenly, i remember i had craving for APple cake. i made it like 18 years ago in Kuching and many people liked it.. so i searched for a simple recipe, went to buy ingredient, only to find that, the baking pan is too big for the little oven.

so, i didnt make it that day.. i decided to go and get a smaller pan a few days later.. took it home and yes, it fit the oven perfectly until... i realized that the oven is not high enough.. when my apple cake barter was put in the pan, it rose and touched the heat bar on the top.. thats why u see a black stripe in the middle of the cake 😂😂😂😂

the appearance of the cake looked lousy.. like somebody just puke... haha.. i didnt dare to show anybody.. i let it to cool and had it for breakfast the next day.

The cake was moist.. but a bit too sweet for me.. i didnt change the recipe because it was my first time attempting with this new recipe.. it's supposed to be french apple cake.. but it didnt taste anything like french.. haha... it was good overall but not my thing coz i'm not a sweet first.. so i chucked the whole cake into the fridge.. i will eat it one day.. that's my plan

Then last sunday, SML decided to come to my place to swim.. so i said ok.. and she brought some take out from the restaurant where she worked to my place as lunch.. while waiting for the food to be heated up, i made SML the coffee and gave her two slices of my Apple Cake, surprisingly, she loved it.. then after our lunch, she said she is full but still asked for another slice of my Apple Cake.. so i cut her two slices and she FINISHED both slices.. she had half loaf by herself! so the other half, i let her take hom.

Guess what she said just now.. she said she shared my apple cake with her friends and they said the cake was GOOD and it was not too sweet 😛 SML and her friends really give face.. haha.. now i feel motivated. Next thing that i plan to make is, ANZAC Cookie. 

是压力还是动力？

有时候我在想，我是不是应该要游戏人间，人间游戏呢？有时候觉得自己太认真，变成造成别人的压力。。事情是这样的。

有一天，我和朋友约好早上830am一起吃早饭，然后出发去晨运。我七早八早起来，然后准时抵达目的地。。结果，我要到目的地的时候，看到朋友的脸书说她刚刚出门。我看了时间觉得她根本就没可能准时抵达，所以我问他。他说他来不及而且他也没有吃早饭的习惯。。。南尼？为什么不早说，我也可以自己在家里吃好早饭再出来，干嘛之前要约呢？心里不是很高兴。没关系，我自己吃早饭。他迟到了15到20分钟。。对我来说，这是可以接受的范围。。只是态度很重要。她，并没有觉得很抱歉。只说太早了。后来接下来我们又约去晨运。他怕迟到，所以约了845am。我们准时在巴士站见。在等巴士的时候，他跟我说他早上起来后赖床了。结果隐约听到我的声音叫他起床。害他吓到快快起来😅😅😅😅 说他很压力。。我觉得特别奇怪，这是我的问题还是他的问题。。准时不是大家应该做到的事情吗？为何他的想法却觉得是我对他有要求？*深思*

我还有另外一个好友。他是菲力宾人，人很好，很善良。我们无所不谈，人也很随和。我们现在是骑车 buddy。因为他工作很忙，她很多时候也懒得找信息或者有时候就是想减少麻烦。一开始他自己开始骑车，她一直都骑同样的路线。第一次我们一起骑车的时候，他花了半小时从他家到我们见面的地点。其实他家很近，如果是我的速度，应该10分钟以内就可以到了。我可以理解她第一次自己骑车的彷徨。呵呵。他有跟我说她害怕人群，怕撞到人等等。我跟他说，不要怕，你骑你的，他们会闪你的。第一次，她遥遥晃晃。后来她跟在我后面横冲直撞（不是故意要去撞行人的那种，而是自在的避开人），经过那次后，他说她不再害怕了。之后，我就带她到比较难和比较远的路线。记得那时候我第一次去的时候，我真的很！想！放！弃！！那时候我骑得很累很累很累。而且感觉路途遥远没有尽头。我的屁股也开花。我的同事们都觉得我看起来不行了。不过那时候的我进退两难。后来还是硬着头皮。之后，我很长一段时间不敢再骑去那边。不过后来我决定再次挑战的时候，那次没有想象中的痛苦了。后来，我就不再排斥。我这位朋友第一次被我带领去这个地方的时候，她跟我一样痛苦。原本他想打车回家，我问他从这里打车回家要多少钱。他说15元。后来她想想，还是打消念头了。回到家后，我把我们骑车的记录发给他看，她很高兴的说今天骑了30公里，明天可以大快朵颐了。我跟他说，有时候我们就是需要一些可以推动我们的朋友。 Someone to push you to your limit。。。这未必是一件坏事。。从这方面看，我觉得我给人的 “压力”不一定是坏事啊？虽然她一直觉得跟我骑车压力很大，不过至今我们还是 biking buddy~ 😀😀😀😀

我自己也有一个这样的朋友。我这位朋友平常很忙，不过周日我们一定会相约到离我们家很远的地方去爬山。可以说他是我的师父。哈哈哈。那时候锻炼我爬山和督促我的人就是他。我们说好每周日去报到，因为她也想运动减肥，这样才能吃更多。我们都有履行我们的计划。好几次，天气忽然变天，我们被雨淋得湿哒哒。不过下雨天并没有浇熄我们那颗热情的心。之后我们变得有备而去。带拖鞋，带雨伞，带备用衣服等等。我还准备了防水的包包，方便我装手机和钱包呢。有一天早上起来，看到天色非常黑，我就问朋友还要去吗？她很果断地说：PROCEED! 我觉得，这就是毅力。我喜欢。正想出门的时候，忽然就下起了大雨。我们就说，没关系，再看看。雨应该不会下很久。。等着等着。。咦，雨，好像没有想停的感觉。我们互相发各自住的地方的照片。他那里跟我这里是倾盆大雨。看来没希望的。差不多等到11点多，雨停了。他说，去他家吃午饭，然后我们去爬山！后来我们真的还是去了。我觉得我们的生活里就是需要一些这样积极的朋友来推动我们。。。发掘我们内在的潜力。。或者唤醒我们怠惰的那颗心。。当然如果你不想被唤醒的时候，这个就会变成压力。。

你觉得呢?

same same but not the same

Now i spend most of my time at home because of the COVID 19..  luckily even before COVID 19, i had no desire to go outside so in terms of my personal life, there is not much impact.. but of coz the biggest impact to me is, I AM NOT ABLE TO GO HOME TO SEE MY FAMILY  T_T  *sob* *sob*

well, as much as i love my family.. i guess by not going home at this point in time is also a way to show my love. but i miss them a lot! i miss my travelling life too. this is the biggest impact to my job as i love the travelling part of my job. sigh. i really hope the rain will just wash all virus away and everyone's life will be back to normal as soon as possible!

now that we can't go out... technically, we still can go out but not as often.. the view that i most seen during these days is the view from my balcony.. every now and then, i would take a picture or two from my balcony.. even though the scenery is the same, somehow, it's not the same! isn't it like our life journey. everyday, we seem to do the same thing, do the routine.. somehow, everyday is not the same.. this monday is not the same as last monday... even this min is not the same as last min. hmmm.. you know what i meant, right?

well, just looking at these pictures make me think we have to cherish everyday because no one moment will be repeated and nobody knows what will happen next.  sad to say, we always only started to realize only when things happen.. someone's wise words are only words to us until we taste them...

let's hope life will return back to normal.

i took the pictures from my phone without filtering. aren't they nice?

在家干嘛？

之前说过为何我们在家办公的故事了。。。所以我到底在家干嘛呢？当然是。。。。。。。。办公啦！哈哈哈

上礼拜，在youtube看到这个新的节目，好像叫什么在家干嘛的中国节目。。是因为最近大家都因为病毒被关在家里了。艺人也没办法拍什么节目娱乐大家。后来就出了这个节目。就是节目组把摄影机送到艺人家门口，艺人自己拍他们都在家里面干嘛。。。我觉得这个节目还挺有趣的。里面其中两个自己住的男艺人，就开始想如何烹饪。因为平常在家没时间做饭，就利用这个非常时期来学习学习。。。我觉得蛮好的。。。可能学着学着就变厨师了。哈哈哈有技压过人！反而是那些有爸妈在的，没这个想法。呵呵。。。

这期间，我都在家里自己随便搞一点东西吃。。太复杂的我不会，太高难度的我也不会。。。所以我只能做一些简单的。不知道为什么最近我爱上了香菜和大葱。。。只要我的饭菜加上了这两样东西，我就觉得胃口大开。香菜我基本上是一个礼拜2 - 3包。大葱5 粒可以吃一周。。。上周我差不多每餐都有生大葱。好好吃。我就是喜欢那些臭臭的味道。平常不太敢吃，因为怕身边的人闻到会翻白眼。呵呵。上周我去了公司两次。。。因为现在在防疫，所以防疫工作比较严格，我们公司同事会一天来测我们的体温两次。。。我上周两次的温度都很高。。早上37.2度，下午就37.6度。基本上37.5度以上的都会建议去看医生。奇怪，我也没有不舒服的感觉。在公司，由于上班的人少，大家手脚冰冷，只有我的是热乎乎的，还真的有点烫手。。。哇，难道。。我不要~~~ 我以为我上火了，回家赶快喝了一罐红毛凉茶。。感觉自己的手温有下降一点。。。后来，我同事帮我查了，说原来大葱会把体温提高。。。噢~~ 瓦卡里马斯（日语：原来如此）

这是我最近迷上的食物：

有点嘿嘿的是因为我用紫米。其实就是直接放到饭锅一起煮的萝卜和高丽菜。

绿油油的。是不是看起来不是那么开胃。。不过这个拌面还是挺清爽的。呵呵。老王卖瓜自卖自夸的感觉。呵呵

下周回去上班了。下次也许只有周末可以自己做饭了。。。以前整天出差。。。现在因为病毒不能出差。。所以周末就有时间。。。其实我还蛮想回古晋的。。心里虽想，可是又害怕害到家人和朋友。。。所以这个思乡的心情也只能让它延续了~~~

是不是年纪大的征兆？

最近老板心情复杂。。。因为新型冠状病毒在新加坡蔓延，所以为了“保护”员工的健康，我门的公司决定让我们在家办公。。。当然还要自己的部门老板批了才可以。。。我老板，虽然不喜欢我们在家办公，可是又害怕员工感染而要负责任，后来在书面上写说鼓励员工在家里办公，嘴上却说，如果他的三岁女儿可以上学，为什么我们大人却不能上班 *苦笑*

不过，我们才不管他嘴上说什么，我们只看纸上写的。哈哈哈。员工就是有这样的心态。我老板的想象图就是，我们翘脚在家里边上班，边是零食，边上网打游戏。不然就是累了跑到沙发去睡懒觉。一开始要在家里办公，还真的不习惯。第一天，我还自己回去公司工作。我老板好心带我出去吃午饭。我们的公司靠近河，所以河边都是一些餐厅和咖啡厅。后来他看到一位美女，坐在河边的咖啡厅，很悠哉的用着电脑，而且穿得很漂亮。我老板忍不住就说，你看，我就不相信你们在家办公没有偷懒！我说，老板，这个是特例啊。老实说，我们在家里，就是头发乱乱，穿着 T Shirt 短裤。有时候下午才刷牙呢。哈哈哈。

反正这两周，我在家里办公就是得自己搞定自己的三餐。最近觉得是不是自己天天在家里啃过年的年货。原本买多的饼干是要带去韩国请同事们吃的。现在不能出差了，只好自己吃。免得浪费。。。结果，就是肚子越来越大，腰越来越粗，体重越来越重 T_T 忽然间意识到上厕所不顺畅了。。。后来在朋友fb看到他去旅行，天天大鱼大肉的。。。有一天他说自己要排毒排宿便。。。这个听起来好适合我的状况。。。赶紧自己也来快快排宿便去。

昨天开始排宿便疗程。。。我的朋友说要有耐心。不会马上有效果的。。。盼了一天，没有上厕所 *失望* 今天再努力！ 终于今天早上有了便意 :D  后来上了厕所，觉得自己应该是在排宿便。。。我不确定。。后来就开始问我朋友宿便是长什么样子的啊？我开始形容我的感觉，他说看颜色。。。最终还是太抽象。。。我决定问我的好朋友 ----- 酷哥 (google)。为了让人容易了解宿便，百科全书里头还有很多便便的照片呢！噢~~~ 后来发现我排的是正常的便便而已。。。我也顺便跟朋友分享宿便的形状和定义。。两个讲的很开心。。。呵呵。。。

以前我们买到自己喜欢的包包，衣服，吃了自己想吃/爱吃的才特别兴奋和开心。。。为什么现在讲到便便，或者我终于“放松”了而感到兴奋和开心呢？这是年纪大的征兆吗？*捂脸*

避免病毒的感染

最近一直在电视网路看到病毒的新闻。又多少人感染，又多少人往生。。。形势越来越糟糕了。现在科技又太发达，所以假消息也很多。如果一个人不懂得分辨对与错，真与假，也许还没感染，就先往生了。最离谱的是，由于现在还没有药物可以对抗病毒，我看到有人分享说喝消毒药就会好了。。。还真的有人相信耶！

当然现在口罩也大缺货。世界各地都在抢购。现在口罩变成了一个奢侈品。唉~ 还有人乘火打劫，居然买一堆口罩在网路上卖，而且还是以好几倍的价格！甚至还有假货出现。我们说的是人命啊~ 其实现在最好的办法还是勤劳洗手，不要乱摸东西。。。还是就是不要到处乱跑。现在最安全的就是家里了。。。

那天爸爸看到新加坡的病例越来越多，担心的他就叮咛了一些注意事项。爸爸说最脏的地方就是电梯，门把，按钮等等。原本他说用tissue来按，后来觉得tissue不靠谱，就说用塑胶袋，用了可以扔掉。后来还是觉得还是有危险，爸爸说，最好的方法，还是用一阳指 @_@ 一阳指是啥？爸爸说 Chinese Kung Fu :D 我说这个可能有点困难。哈哈哈。还是用脚比较快。

爸爸发给我的 :D

其实我有想过，是否随身系带一只笔。用笔当手指就好。。。还是用牙签。。。结果第二天，我就看到这个！看来有人比我更聪明！ 哈哈哈。

work-life balance...really?!

Recently, i'm being sabo to take on a global project to improve finance feedback in our company....so everyweek, i have at least one or two night calls because of this project! just for your info, i still go to office on time the next day, do my work and no, there is no pay rise for this additional work. the idea here is to make you happy without any monetary compensation *bitter smile*

so, one of our iniatives to improve the happiness of a finance person is....work life balance... guess what? look at the list below...except for me in asia, the whole list of people are still either online to do work, in meeting or in conference calls!

how contradicting is this?!

我是不是老了

我觉得这个平台真的很像我的个人日子。刚刚看会以前写得文章，发现自己一直不断地改变。已经过了13年。记得当初我离乡背井的那一年是2005年。去了香港，上海，新加坡。。。每一个地方都教会了我不同的东西。

我读了一些2010年和2011年的文章。。。老实说，有些事情我还真的不记得曾经发生过。哈哈哈。我发现我还挺会苦中作乐的。记得刚去上海的头一年，我真的有想过回家中老米。只是自己不愿意放弃，才撑到今天。有时候还挺想念在香港和上海的日子。有时候甚至后悔为什么当初没有花时间好好了解那个地方。现在想要回去旅游的机会已经不多了。

我想念我的一些香港朋友。我还记得一开始他们听不懂我的广东话，却还是不嫌弃我。虽然有一段黑色日子，人啊，总是记得好的一面。

我以为我去了上海，被人事物追着跑而忘了感受。。。可是读了我以前的文章，我发现那时候的我反而更多感触。也许日子很苦，所以才会拼命想办法往好的方面想，和尽量做一些有趣的事情。其实除了上海的污染，食安问题，医院素质，基本上我还是挺喜欢那个地方。只是有时候我会犹豫我是否想再回到上海住。。。。因为上海离家里太远。我在新加坡可以随时随地回家。

在新加坡，我反而觉得我更加没有任何特别感觉。。。是不是我老了。。。所以懒得去发掘新加坡的好。。。其实，新加坡也教会了我一些东西。。。

我很感激我有这些经历。。。我很庆幸我在这个旅途中遇到很多好朋友。。。我很庆幸我有这个平台去记录我这么多年的点点滴滴。

sleepy

我现在只想留言说：我。。。。真的真的。。。很😴。。。 现在满脑子都是床。好想躺下来睡一个好觉。我晚上睡觉还是睡得一觉到天明。。。就是现在早上（也就是巴黎的凌晨），我真的很想睡。

现在一直把眼睛撑开。。好辛苦。虽然眼睛是张开的，可是我的头脑是Shut down的。。。这种感觉好痛苦。最糟糕的是。。。我在出差！

床。。。。。。床。。。。。。。。。床。。。。。。。。。。。

不幸中的大幸

過年這幾天忙著吃喝....每天做的事情還是吃和吃。今年回家過個晚年。其實還不錯，可以趕上媽媽的擂茶趴，也可以趁機跟幾個老友相聚。最重要的是還收到幾個紅包。這個年紀收紅包還真的有點好笑～ 不過我的臉皮厚，不介意被笑。哈哈哈

今年去了幾個老友家拜年。不知道為什麼每次回古晉，總是覺得時間不夠用。初十那天去朋友家吃用他自己種的芋頭做的芋頭糕，原本想快快扒幾口就離開的。可是朋友很好客。一直叫我們留下，還有幫忙泡茶。原本要趕下一場，結果後來還是答應幫忙泡茶。幸好她要泡的是綠茶。我還特地跟他說泡綠茶的水不能太熱，大概在60 至 80度左右。因為她家的器具不夠齊全，就用了一個泡咖啡的玻璃壺在瓦斯爐上煮。

水好了，我想說把壺拿到桌上去給Jennifer泡茶。當我正要放下時，朋友叫我等一下，他在找墊子。其實在拿起來的那瞬間，我有個不詳預感。當我拿著壺在等的時候，我眼睜睜的看著塑膠手把瞬間鬆開，玻璃壺往下掉的情景。玻璃碎片往剛剛方向飛，熱水往雙腳灑。燙死了。Jennifer很大聲的叫我不能動，因為怕我踩到玻璃。我的自然反應就是往後退。當我右腳正要踩在地上的那一刻，我決定把腳縮回來。我往後一看，我的天啊，有一大塊尖尖的玻璃片！就差那1公分，我就見紅了。現在回想过去，我还是會起雞皮疙瘩。自從兩年前手指割斷後，我對玻璃一直有陰影 😓 腳被燙傷了，不過幸好朋友有神奇藥膏，才沒起泡。我和Jennifer俩都被飛過的玻璃割到。幸好是小傷。不过後來我們還是很盡責地把茶泡好。還是用自己帶的煮水器比較安心。

割伤和烫伤的双脚

過了兩個禮拜，我在泰國出差。因為這裡路途遙遠，我每次都請hotel幫我準備飯盒。路上吃就好了。重點是可以睡晚一點。有一天我想說還是到餐廳喝個粥。服務員也很勤奮，到處幫大家收拾髒盤子。就在我吃到一半的時候，忽然聽見很大聲的砰砰砰。服務員手上的盤子全掉在地上了。就差那一步，盤子就會砸在我頭上！而且那些盤子是又大又重的那種。盤子打破的時候，剛好我同事走過。她叫我不要動，地上都是碎片。幸好飛過的玻璃沒有割到我。

到底我和玻璃有什麼過節。後來覺得保險一點，還是在去拜拜了一下。

in the snow, in the snow, in the snow~~~ lalalalala

Found this from my google photo...didnt even know it existed...i remember this was taken in Japan 3 or 4 years ago when i was still living in Shanghai. I was there for business... everyone seems to have fantasy about snow...well..my fantasy was broken when i had to pull a luggage with one hand, while carrying an umbrella with the other and walked through uneven roads and wet roads just to get to my office from the subway...it was freezing cold and sometimes there were pools of dirty water from the melted snow that i had to avoid...but sometimes, the water just splashed on my shoes.... well, it's not all that beautiful in real life..haha..

一個蘭花的故事

有時候事情的發生讓我不僅覺得為何以前都不知道。如果一早知道就不會做這樣笨的事情了。後來我才發現，其實這個跟年紀有關。不要誤會喔，我不是說我年紀大，只是說經歷得多～ 哈哈哈⋯我也得認老了啦！

那天跟朋友一起逛台北花市。花市有兩層樓，像兩個足球場這麼大，而且還是兩棟樓！裡面花和植物多得幾天幾夜都看不完，更糟糕的是，東西都很美～美到我們恨不得全部扛回古晉。尤其在朋友家看到一大堆的蘭花，大大小小的都有，真的很美麗。可是想到要用手提回來就覺得很辛苦。因為怕花兒被壓壞，所以想了很久很久。

後來朋友決定帶一些小蘭花回去，而我呢，花了多一點錢買了有美麗花盆佈置過的大顆蘭花，還有一個中形的蘭花回家。朋友說我很有錢，買那麼貴的蘭花。其實朋友全部蘭花加起來也跟我差不多。

我跟他說我的分析。去年過年我們在台北過年，我買了兩顆各台幣150的蘭花回去。結果，我手提得很辛苦，因為還是得小心翼翼的保護它們。居然現在打算經歷同樣的過程，何不就乾脆狠下心來帶自己喜歡的。不管大的小的，貴的便宜的，一顆還是兩顆，我的過程還是一樣。

朋友聽了，點點頭。這是我的個人經驗啦～

看看我的蘭花們，是不是很美麗呢？

Happy 2017

I usually have a post for new year but this year, i was too exhausted to remember. hahaha...exhausted in a good way because i got to play with my nephew for a week. he had so much energy that i suddenly felt that age is catching up. haha...my denial is no longer working :p

well, last year was a good & bad year to me... bad because of my finger and also some health issues..good because i'm still ALIVE~~~ hopefully 2017 will be a better one *PRAY*

Time really flies..i'm still not used to writing 2017...by the way, who still writes these days?! hahaha... i just hope everyone will be safe and happy and healthy.

I just remember a funny conversation with my colleague the other day.

my colleague asked: "Jane, what is your wish?"
I said: "i just wish everyone is happy, healthy and safe..."
My colleague said: "Don't be so liberal ler, you are not in the Miss Universe Contest."
I said: "haha, but this is really what i want ler. Or, i just hope i don't create pain to people around me"
My colleague: "who would want to do that?"
I said:" nehhh, like your boss, when she is stress, she will make everyone stress and start scolding you guys...i just hope that i will not pass on my frustration to people lo.."

All of my colleagues laughed and said: "that makes sense"

Happy New Year to everyone~

don't underestimate yourself

There is always a saying about you not knowing your own potential until you are being pushed to your limit... hmmmm...it's a statement i was not able to understand before but now i understand it more and more as i get older...or should i say....wiser *wink*

i remember when i first went to HK with my broken cantonese, i was the one being bullied! After being bullied for a few times, i told myself i had to be stronger.... the one that shocked myself was the mini bus incident! up until now, i still cannot believe i did it! i guess when you are desperate, you will do anything to get what you want!

then there were a few small incidents here and there that i couldnt remember..but there are recent ones that i could understand... when you travel, how many baggage do you usually have? hmmm...at most 3 or 4 right? one backpack, one hand bag and one hand luggage and/or one big luggage? well, for me, that seems too.... LITTLE... 

I carried 80kg back by myself on two occassions... don't believe me? here are two pictures to prove...even i was amazed at my own ability. Hahaha...

once, the taxi driver asked me where is my other companion when he saw a trolley full of luggages... i said, i'm by myself...he gave me a shocking look! he said, you travelled with all these baggage by yourself? you bought too much! i said immediately..oh no...i'm moving! ha...

爸爸和女兒的對話

今天我給爸爸發了條短信說：「爸，我下週五回故鄉啦。你有什麼想要的嗎？」其實爸爸一直都不太會告訴我們他想要什麼。所以，我們都是自己自作主張的覺得爸爸應該需要什麼～ 每次買回去的東西，爸爸都沒很喜歡。或者很喜歡卻不捨得用。

記得去年我們三姐妹在法國買了一個LV包和一件LV 襯衫給爸爸。他還嫌棄的叻。不過嘴巴可能是這樣說，其實心裡還是很開心。爸爸說太貴，他不捨得穿。有壓力。

記得十年前，爸爸生日。我去堯記買了一件綠色襯衫給爸爸。他看了就說我不要。結果衣服丟在一個角落很久很久很久。過了幾年，爸爸發現衣服的存在。那時他說，「咦，哪來的衣服。很好看叻。」

所以今天這樣問爸爸，為了沒有期待爸爸的回覆。哪裡知道，爸爸說，「2件」，然後就把這張照片發給我～

我回覆說，「什麼size？」

爸爸說，「用眼睛看」

我說，「是不是那個快退掉的M啊！」順便問到「這是內褲還是上衣啊？」

爸爸沒回我。估計他覺得我的問題很多餘。我就去問我朋友，谷歌唄。谷歌說這是襯衫。同時爸爸發了這個照片給我。

我說我剛剛Google，原來是襯衫～ 我順便重複，以免弄錯，「2件 M size 白色 Arnold Palmer 上衣，100%棉～」

爸爸回覆，「女兒不笨」

哈哈哈，爸爸好搞笑 (￣▽￣)

我回答，「這是遺傳」

我覺得有趣，所以分享給大家。簡單的對話。

once upon a time

as we aged.... we tend to take things for granted.....  my niece moved to perth when she was almost the same age as us... i could see from her fb how much she misses her friends back in m'sia and how much fun they had when they facetime each other and how excited they are when she goes back to m'sia for vacation...

a few days ago, i saw on her fb that a few of her best friends visited her in perth and they were having loads of FUN! they took pictures, played silly stuff we played when we were kids, took subway to visit perth etc...they are happy!

suddenly, it just occurred to me that, even though, we were the same age as her previously, we could not have all these easily.... in the past, airtickets were super expensive... in the past, internet was rare and super expensive... in the past, IDD calls were expensive... in the past, even taking a picture with camera was precious and we had to wait until x times for the film to be finished..it could be days, it could be weeks, it could be months...but developing the photos were expensive...so we seldom took pictures... because airtickets and IDD calls were expensive and we missed our friends..in order to maintain friendship, we wrote air mail to each other...i remember having a big box of letters from my friends...the happy moments were when we saw a nice envelop in our letter box... felt even more happier when we could feel how thick the envelop was..that means, the person must have written something... in order to express our friendship, we exchanged pictures and small gifts... we replied our letters happily... i remember buying all the cute papers and envelops, stickers, chops and stamps and imagining how excited the other person would be when receiving it... we wrote pages and pages about what happened to us...the happy moment was, cycling to the nearest stationery shop to post our letters. our letters were usually overweight and cost a fortune to send... then it was back to the waiting time... sometimes weeks, sometimes months... if we didnt hear from friends for months, we would start writing again to ask if they are ok.... it was a good memory.... full of hope~~

NOW? everything comes so easy... we have smartphones to connect us for free... free IDD calls, free instant message...internet is cheap, airtickets are super cheap! it is so convenient that people started to take things for granted....when thinking back...im wondering if my niece would have the same memory as us? probably not...perhaps they had more time with each other but they would never understand the joy of writing, posting and waiting for letters... they are truly the hard work of our friends and us and it takes extra effort to stay in touch :)

even though it is convenient now...sometimes i still miss the old ways...but of coz, i prefer the current ways. hehehe...

just some thoughts to share...

by the way, tomorrow is hari raya...happy holidays to everyone.

the photo that inspires me...

Please do something about it!!!

Before i moved here, i thought it is a very well organized place..forget about the chaos, forget about the nasty people, forget about robbery etc...well, i guess no one can be perfect.

last time when i lived in HK, I had a lot of dramatic experiences...which spiced up my life soooo much...and once in a while, you encounter someone committing suicide right in front of your eyes; sometimes you see movie stars filming or just doing casual shopping or eating; sometimes you get fire fighters in your building because your neighbours almost burn your house; sometimes you get such severe cyclone that you are either stuck at work or don't have to go to work; sometimes you get sent to hospital via local ambulance; and sometimes, your transportation just breaks down....

Well, after counting the number of drama in HK, i suddenly think my life in Shanghai and Singapore so far is normal. hahaha...

I remember when i first came in Mid June, my colleague told me to be careful of the transportation in singapore because it breaks down all the time... i didn't think too much of it. i just thought this wouldn't happen to me...guess what, after he said it, that weekend, i encountered some issue with the MRT...it was stopping and braking every 2 seconds...i was secretly praying that it would reach the next stop coz i didnt want to be stuck in the tunnel! luckily it went back to normal... then the second week, when i was about to take bus...the bus was quite crowded and i saw a lady getting off, saying angrily to the driver that he should not be picking passengers anymore! wow, i thought singaporean like to complain, but asking driver not to pick up passengers because of a crowded bus? to me, that bus was not even crowded by my standard. I had seen worst in China & India! nevertheless, i got in because i didnt think the lady had the right to ask me not to take bus...stood there for 30 seconds...why the bus not moving?! turned out the bus' AC was not working. it was like an oven inside.... oh, so the lady was talking about the broken AC...not the crowd. so we got off the bus and waited for another one.

just two weeks ago, i spent about 1 hour going to work...well, it was because i was waiting for my bus at the bus stop and each and every bus that came, were FULL! why so many people taking bus that day? It didnt come to my mind that the MRT was broken...so i waited for 4 buses..each took 10-15 mins to come. Someone human has this habit...i kept thinking the next one would not be full...then the next one came, i would still think the next one would not be full...after 4th time, i figured something must be wrong, so i walked a bit to another bus stop to take another bus... turned out that bus was quite full too, but not full enough that i couldnt get on. I overheard someone saying the MRT broke down! Darn. they should have arranged more shuttle buses as contingency plan mah...look at HK, they are so fast.

then today, coz i was bringing my champagne to office...i have to rush because i have to make sure it is in good condition, so i purposely walked to the main station near my place...guess what, the MRT was down again this morning...the good thing is, the line that is broken is not as crowded...so i still managed to take buses...FOR FREE~~~ saved SGD$1...well...that makes me happier than last time coz i could get to work on time and for free...hehe

In my opinion, first time is accident, second time is coincident, third time is maintenance problem, more that that is it needs attention!

well, i've moved here for slightly more than 3 months but actually in town for 1.5 months and 4 maintenance issues already? am i lucky or the someone should do something abt it!
