covid 19

每次我去超市买东西时，都会经过这家店。这家店是卖清明节/往生人的用品，还有其他过年过节要用到的摆设品。

大家都知道，在新型冠状病毒开始蔓延的时候，市场上的口罩，sanitizer 等等一度缺货。。有钱都买不到。

那天我经过这家店的的时候，无意中看到这家店在卖这几样东西。口罩和酒精洗手液！可是吊在很高的地方。每次经过的时候，我都会看多几眼。现在是CB时期，店没开，东西吊在外面也没有人偷。。。最主要是现在卫生纸，口罩和 sanitizer比什么都贵的时期，却没有人偷？好奇怪。

后来我看清楚材质，才发现，口罩是塑胶做的，sanitizer是纸做的！ 原来不是给我们用的。。是要用来烧给不在这世上的亲朋好友用的。。。 原来第三国度也有病毒啊。。那么他们如果得病后，会再往生多一次吗？

我的 Question mark ??? 很多。。。不知道有没有人买来烧呐？真的很好奇。。。

that kind of feeling

i usually don't really like to "chase after" drama/series because i know once i start, i couldnt stop.. then i would be spending a lot of time on TV / phone and sleep late because drama/series always finish with an ending that makes you curious about the next step!

because of this special time, i think i spend quite a lot of time on TV / phone to watch talk shows, short clips, news, drama/series etc... and i'm always sleeping later than usual even though i always try to sleep at 12am... sometimes, i would give myself excuse to watch 30 mins of a show before going to bed.. my excuse is that i need to wait for my room to be cold enough and then turn AC off and off to bed.. always the same excuse.. haha.. but during that 30 mins, i would massage my broken pinky finger.. and put lotion on.. lotion part is new part of my routine these days.. because of constant hand washing and sanitizing, my hands become dryer and i have so many unused lotions which i bought when i travelled.. so now is a good time to finish them all.. hehe

recently, i found a good thai series on TV and it's only showing 4 episodes over the weekend! actually, i could have just watched them all on the internet but i decided to reserve them just for weekends.. it's no fun to finish them all in one go.. go toilet also bring phone, cooking also look at phone.. can't really enjoy the show.. so i decided to only watch them from TV and just have dedicated time fot this series. it's not a very exciting series.. just some random love story and the progress is sloooooowwwww and Loso but for some reasons, it's quite nice to watch.. it's a kind of show that will relax your mind. it's called "love destiny"... when i told my friends that i'm watching the thai drama, they gave me dirty looks and said, thai drama is loso... hahahaha.. actually, i can finish the storyline within 1 hour.. haha..

have you ever felt the excitement that your favourite series/drama is showing soon? have you ever felt sad that why time passes so fast when u are watching a certain series/drama? have you ever looked forward to weekends just to be able to watch the series/drama? maybe in our younger days right? but i feel like this now for this show.. haha.. it's not super fantastic but good entertainment. the songs are nice too... i don't understand thai but the rhythm is nice.

can't wait for this weekend to come. hehe

LOL

As time goes by, i realized people are getting lazier and lazier because of advanced technology.. advanced technology is supposed to give us convenience.. the downside is, people are getting lazier. In the past, before computer is widely used, we write more.. before email is invented, we send more letters.. before calculator is invented, we used our brains more.. but now, it seems we write less, think less and all we want is EFFICIENCY!

how efficient does it get when we need to type in short form that is not recognized by auto correct? LOL is not in the dictionary, ROFL is also not in the dictionary.. about 20 years ago (oooppsss...am i revealing my age? hehe), we only used LOL and ROFL.. but now, there are soOOOoo many out there that i lose count and there are many more that i don't even know exist... my impression tells me that SG likes to use a lot of short form since ages ago.. ERP, TPE, CTE.. till now, i'm still learning :D

i remember when i cut my finger 4 years ago...i took a taxi and the taxi driver was telling me that i was lucky that i was not sent to Changi General Hospital.. i thought there must be something wrong with the hospital so i asked why. he said it stands for CGH.. most people who got sent there means Cannot Go Home liao.. so means must be very serious type... hmmmm.. should i laugh or feel lucky that i'm at another hospital? :D

the other day, i was chatting with a friend in Miri.. we were talking about the younger days and she used a short form that i didnt understand.. so i asked her what is ldm.. she said it stands for laugh die me :D hahahaa.. OMG... i think faster to type out ler.. then i told her a story about  my Singapore colleague who wrote to me 5 years ago.. "idk.. i think i will wfh tmr"... when i received this, i didnt understand the whole sentence at all!

My Miri friend then asked me.. what is idk...
i said i don't know....
then she said,.. till now you didnt find out?
i was laughing so hard when i saw her question.. then i told her.. idk is i dont know

i told Jenn about this conversation and i couldnt stop laughing when i described to her what happened. ahaha...

the morale of the story..... technology makes her lazier and lazier and even typing becomes too much these days.. and this creates misunderstanding if not used properly... i wonder what is next..

just some laugh for the day!


p/s: guess what? this whole passage is full of red underline (means words the dictionary does not recognize >_<)

My Balcony

为了回应 Jennifer 的 comment。 我特地为了我的阳台写了一个文章。哈哈哈。自从离开香港那个狭小的对方后，我住的地方都会有个阳台。很多人对阳台充满了幻想。我有个同事，一直住在 HDB。很多HDB 是不会出现阳台的。。所以他一直很羡慕有阳台的家。他幻想自己在阳台上喝茶看书的情景。。。可是，幻想和现实有时候是差很远的。

我第一个阳台在上海。不是宽宽大大的那种。就是给人出去抽个烟，或晒个衣服。。。可是上海空气不好，所以我不会经常坐在外面。而且灰尘很多。第二个房子的阳台很大，房东用来做 laundry。。。问题是，一到下雨，就开始漏水。房子很多空间，也不用在那冷冷冰冰的地方休息。

我在新加坡住的第一间房子有个小阳台。还挺舒服的。可是晒了衣服后，就没有地方可以坐，就在客厅旁边，所以在客厅休息 = 在阳台纳凉。第二件房子的阳台比较大一点。问题是，那时候我搬家太匆忙，以为自己可以花点小钱解决问题。。。可是我的想象图跟真实的不一样。不是小钱这么简单。这套房子的阳台是一个大沟。房东自己没住在那边，所以不舍得花钱把阳台的沟钉点木头。所以朋友帮我做了几个铁皮架，把洞补上。不然那一天头脑不清醒，掉进去就麻烦了。那个破阳台也只能用来晒晒衣服而已。唉~

后来受不了之前那套房子蟑螂太多，我决定搬家。要离开这个家还真的有点痛苦。看看我之前的文章就知道我的痛苦了。皇天不负有心人，我终于搬家了。虽然我现在的房子比之前的小了一半，可是我还是挺喜欢的。因。为。没。蟑。螂！

这套房子的阳台特别大。。。为了不浪费空间，我在外面也放了一些储藏的东西。平常真的也是用来晒衣服而已。偶尔在外面欣赏一下风景。因为以前没有在阳台呆着的习惯。所以外面的地板都是灰尘。由于最近疫情关系，我们都在家里办公。所以，我终于用上了我的阳台。

有一天，我在擦地板的时候，顺便把阳台的地板也擦干净了。哇佬，好脏呐。现在赤脚踏出去还挺舒服的。因为新家的厨房是开放式的厨房。曾经试过煎了一颗蛋，味道久久不散。我后来就决定如果不是煮的或蒸的，我就在外面做饭！这个想法还不错，只是麻烦了一点。因为要把锅盆勺子慢慢拿出去，油盐酱料也是。。。不过至少我不用担心油烟的问题。呵呵。我很聪明吧~~ *脸红*

我后来进化到干脆把阳台弄张桌子和椅子，那么除了晒衣服，有空还可以在外面纳凉。。。

这张是我用来晒枕头等等的照片~ 白天很热，不想坐在外面。

这是有一天晚上下了雨，外面很凉快。我想说在外面休息一下。。。是不是很爽？呵呵。。。现在我终于用上我的阳台了！

我的好奇心

那天我在脸书上看到有人介绍我最爱吃的嘟嘟糕。。。我最爱吃嘟嘟糕了，尤其是里面的椰子丝。。想到就流口水。后来我发现原来这家嘟嘟糕的档铺在我家附近的大排档里。我觉得去试试看。每次经过，总是没有发现它的存在。原来这个档口还真的有点厉害。只开下午一点到6点，周日不开呐。难怪。我每次到那边的地铁站也都是6点后了。

上个周六，因为约了朋友，可是他久久还没到。我觉得在等他的期间，我去买点下午茶。能够让我在炎热的下午撑伞去买的东西，最好给我好吃！呵呵。找着找着，不见档口。。。问了酷哥。。原来在我身后！咦，为什么说出名呐？一个人也没有，只有一个uncle在弄。我很开心的走到 uncle 那边，开心的order了一盒。。uncle 看了我一眼说要等30分钟！噢，酱啊，还是可以接受的范围。。我就在附近晃好了。。。其实也没什么好晃。就几个小店。

为了我的嘟嘟糕，我在那边晃来晃去。时间差不多了，我回到uncle 那边。发现有很多等了。我想uncle 应该是在做之前的order。。。我等啊等，等啊等。。结果uncle跟我说了一句话，我还以为现在那盒是我的，马上说不用袋子。。谁知道，uncle说，这个不是你的。。好吧。失望的我又回到排队的 mode~ 其实 uncle 很辛苦。。一个人要完成整个流程，我一直想象如果有另外一个人帮他的话，是否可以卖更多呐。。。可是一盒两块五，他能赚回工钱吗？后来帮他算了一下，还是不值得。

我一共等了差不多1小时了。。心里开始后悔当初是不是不应该花这样的时间。我最讨厌排队的了，尤其是为了吃的。不过都等了一小时了。后来我忍不住了，我向前问 uncle 什么时候轮到我？他说没有这么快，要等1小时。我说，蛤，uncle，我两点半来的，我都等了一个小时了。他说，是吗？原来她不记得我了。他就赶紧把面前的一盒递给我。我太开心了。终于！我隔壁的另外一个 uncle看到老板的反应，马上也跟着说他也等了很久。嘿嘿，我不管了，我要回去享受一下我的下午茶！

是不错吃。椰子丝湿润润，香！不过吃到第三个觉得有点腻了。不过还是好吃。扎实。。不过我不会再买了。。太浪费时间了。我的一小时就这样过了。。。。




其实当时我在等的时候，我有想说要早点提醒老板的。可是我又害羞，所以不敢问。。。其实最近我有跟朋友提起，自从我来了新加坡后，我发现我的脸皮越变越薄了。越来越不敢争取东西。以前我好像不太管人家怎么看我。。尤其是我在香港上海的那些日子比较敢表达。我怎么啦？

呷飽沒?

最近疫情越來越嚴重。爸爸時不時還是會發簡訊或打電話來關心我這個獨居的女兒～ 深怕我一個人在國外會不懂的照顧自己。呵呵。其實反過來，我反而擔心現在在馬來西亞的家人和朋友們。每次在新聞上看到又有多少人確診或死亡病例，我會飆冷汗！問題是，新聞說確診的數量不但很多，還不夠清晰。

新加坡確診個案，新加坡都會報上人的年齡，感染原因和住在哪裡。馬來西亞只是報告數字而已，卻無法提供更加具體的內容。

現在已經是馬來西亞行動限制的第九天了。我怕爸爸媽媽在家裡無聊或者是亂吃東西。記得一開始，我問爸爸三餐吃了什麼，他說吃了泡麵和罐頭。我的天啊，這樣健康嗎？後來媽媽也開始一日煮三餐的節奏。爸媽也吃得健康一點。我也放心一點了。不過人還是有種莫名想吃外面的食物的心。我也可以理解。上個月我們就開始在家辦公了。一開始還挺享受的。覺得雖然自己煮的菜不算好吃，可是還是健康又實惠的。結果吃了兩個禮拜，我都受不了。第一天湯麵，第二天米粉湯，第三天粿條湯，吃來吃去就是一個味道。結果我受不了了，出去打包了麥當勞！哈哈哈。真的好吃

剛剛爸爸又發簡訊給我。怕我在家裡沒東西吃。後來我發了這個圖片。爸爸就放心了。

close to nature

This year, we finally get to spent our CNY in Kuching! mum decided to go to Damai.. it's been a while since we last went.. i couldnt remember when i last went to Damai. haha.. i remember when we were young, the best place to go is Damai Beach... ah.. childhood memory!

Because we booked too late, we managed to book Camp Permai instead.. i vividly remember Camp Permai as living on the treetop. i guess that would be too much for mum to climb up the stair case so we booked cabin instead. I wonder how it looks like....

That day, like when we were young, we finally packed our stuff to go the the nearby resort.. somehow, i feel we are strange.. we are just going to the somewhere nearby area but still need to pack a lot of things. haha.. we bought junk food, water just in case. If there is nothing to do at night, at least we could watch TV.

we drove through the familiar way to Damai.. crossed the bridge & river.. so much memories floated back to my mind.. i remember dad and mum liked to go Buntal for seafood a lot, so almost every weekend, dad would drive us there. We would play at the back seat.. coz my mum likes to put Tilam at the back of my dad's Land Cruiser so that we could rest. One of mum's great ideas! i remember before the bridge was built, we could only travel to Damai by boat... i remember we did it once.. board the boat near White Hair's house... then alight at the port in Santubong, change to bus.... it was a long journey... the bridge is one of the greatest construction ever. hehe.. then in the car ride, we would always sing songs. It was fun :))

As usual, before going to Damai, we dropped by Buntal to see whether there were any catches of the day and also checked out dinner place... the Village is still cozy...

 Finally we arrived at Camp Permai! lots of trees indeed... actually it's kinda nice, just like living in forest... except with nice house.... but it's  long walk from the reception to the Cabin... i think the person who designed this is trying to make the place as original as possible  so that people can experience the life of forest.. 

Below is the view from our cabin.. the sight is cozy... turned out, there is no TV in the room and no internet... haha.. so Jenn and I slept at 930pm! this is the life of ancient people i guess :D



The next day, we were woken up by sound of rain.. oh, it was raining outside... kinda made the atmosphere nicer.. the problem is, we had no umbrella! we need to walk about 5 mins to go to the breakfast area... so the clever Jane and Jenn came up with an idea... why not we use the towel in our room as umbrealla? good ideaaaa... so we walked slowly in the rain.. enjoying the smell of rainforest and the peacefulness...

This is the place for breakfast.. an open space restaurant. this reminds me of the kinda life that many people wanted to have...so they fly to overseas to experience it... why spend so much money when u can have it in KUCHING?!





Our breakfast~~~ yummy! nice breakfast in the cool breeze with such wonderful view... there was nothing but peacefulness :))
