Well, this year, i did not particularly have any life sharing moments or thoughts...somehow, as you get "younger", you tend to just don't pay too much attention to it anymore...one thing for sure, we tend to forget the number.. this year, we celebrated with a group of friends and we had a small monthly celebration in office~

we were supposed to celebrate this in office with a group of november babies...somehow on that day, there were only two of us...ahhh... so pai say... haha...

一個電梯的習慣

以前剛剛去香港的時候，我真的不理解為什麼香港人那麼的急性子。大家會有一個普通反應，就是人一踏進電梯，就會一直按關門鍵。不是按一次，而是一直按到電梯門關為止～我的媽啊，電梯如果是人，應該瘀青了吧～ 那時候的我在想，真是的，有這麼趕嗎？

不知不覺中，我也有了這個動作。可是我不是一直按的那種，我只是按一次關門鍵。有時候電梯門真的關得很慢。

那天我在飯店等電梯。飯店的電梯是超級無敵怪。怪不是怪在電梯，而是設置電梯的人。不知為什麼每次要用電梯，都得等上10分鐘。有三部電梯，其中兩部就是不動。可能是省電節能環保吧。那次，等了很久，電梯終於到了。門一開，都是金頭髮的。金頭髮的人的習慣就是耐心的等電梯自己關上。所以，我進去後，就乖乖的等，不要丟亞洲人的臉嘛。結果，等好久。接下又進來了兩個歐洲人，他們也沒按電梯的習慣。我心裡真的好像按鍵喔～

我的總結是，西方人比較享受生活。步調慢慢的，才可以享受周圍的一切。當然他們可能也比較有耐心～

亞洲人的時間都是金錢，所以很多事情講效率，所以導致我們也沒什麼耐性。 有時候慢慢的看著電梯門慢慢關上，其實也可以看出滋味～ 

那天我瞭解了自己內心的急。

你們也會不會這樣呢？

Found this funny app last time and played with it with Jennifer. Haha..

Have a laugh~ let's just wish it is not full moon ~

*ROAR*

谁来救救我？

前几天在脸书看到这个漫画，忽然觉得自己一点也不孤单。呵呵。原来大家都有同感~~大概一个月前，自己开始运动。是不是非常不可思议？很久很久以前，我就一直说要运动，要减肥等等，可是过了N年，我还是一样没动起来。连Jennifer都放弃问我这个问题。。。所以我干脆就不再有 New Year Resolution了。还记得一年前，我在脸书 (又是脸书）看到一个很励志的运动短片。这个黑人用了4周来去掉肚腩。哇噻，我真的很向往小蛮腰和没肚腩的日子。。。毕竟肚腩也跟了我N年。。。已经成为我的一部分了。后来还跟Jennifer和朋友比赛，说看看谁三个月后可以成功。回家我立刻去买了瑜伽垫，真的开始每晚很努力的动起来。结果，几个月后，我的手指受伤，然后朋友怀孕后，我们就这样不了了之了。

就在一个月前，我的同事说十月中旬要去爬台湾的雪山。给了我一个link。雪山的景色实在太漂亮了。。。云海，雾。。。真的很像人间仙境。我就随口说我想去。我没想到他会当真。。。因为七月份的富士山之旅，我也放了鸽子。。。呵呵。。。所以我没想那么多。结果过了一个礼拜，我没有什么欲望想要动起来，就跟同事说我不去了。。。结果，他不让我退出，还一直游说我，然后把定金付了！ 就是想逼我去！！！！

因为这样，我只好乖乖的动起来。一开始，我去家里的健身房开始跑步~ 跑步是我众多运动中最恨的一项运动。老实说，我觉得体力不是一个问题。。。对我而言，运动不是靠体力，而是靠毅力。我跑了30分钟，真的是我的局限。哈哈哈。我记得刚开始的时候，我真的是想象前面有一堆的美味食物等着我。。。之所以我才能一直往前。。不过，运动后，真的觉得偶尔流流汗还不错。

往好的方面看，这也是一个动力啦。不过就如这个漫画的女生一样。。。前面的5分钟真的很想放弃。记得第一次，我朋友为了训练我，把我带到新加坡最高的山。。。。丘。。。。练习爬楼梯。。。而且我还得背着我的7公斤的背包爬呐。。。一开始，我真的真的很想放弃。喘不过气，体力不足，立刻喊说我要放弃！幸好朋友一直鼓励我，我才慢慢的爬。。。

我还在努力中。希望10月份可以成功的爬上去~~ 干巴爹！

Another year

Time really flies... We r towards the end of the year! Gosh.. I felt like I just had my birthday yesterday! Cherish every moment. As the years go by, somehow I feel that everything is not the same every year... 

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...
