我已经15岁了！

哇，不知不觉，Jane's Diary: 金鱼的日记 已经15岁了。如果我那时候结婚生了小孩，今年也15岁了。呵呵。 真的是时间不留人啊。而且我很庆幸自己有开始写部落格的习惯。。。那天看回去以前写的文章。。有些还真的不记得有发生过。。尤其看到自己搬到荃湾的房子和自己怎么布置。。。真的有点怀念。。我还记得，之前在香港住过的房子都有附上家具，唯有这件。所以一搬进去的时候，是空屋。。。从到窗帘到床，都要自己准备。还记得我唯一的娱乐，就是那台大的电脑。以前没有智能手机，所以有台电脑非常重要！

我还记得，在台风来领前，我赶紧到家里附近的小家具店买了个三层式的小桌子。用来放电脑的。其实那间店不靠近，大概走路要15到20分钟。那时候还飘了小雨。为了省钱（其实是怕被的士司机骂），我一个人扛着那个桌子回家。路上还掉了好几次。回到家，自己把桌子组装起来。那时候的喜悦我至今还记得。

有时候已经忘了自己已经不那么年轻了。。。也是人生有时候就是要活得侥幸一点才会开心。哈哈哈

童言童语

现在因为疫情期间，侄子没有上学，所以最近都会给我们打视频电话会议。才5岁的他，已经知道怎么用智能手机了。现在的小孩真的厉害。。。以前因为时差还会要去上课的关系，只能等到周末才能跟侄子通电话。

那天，他往常打来。。一开口就说：姨姨，我很想你，我很爱你~~~ （*拉长尾音*）听了都觉得很开心。要好好珍惜。因为很快，他就不需要我们了。

每次都是刚起床，吃完早餐后打过来。。。他就会拿着电话去厕所，一边刷牙一边给我们聊天，让我们看他把牙齿刷干净。哈哈哈，好可爱。刷好了还有给我们鉴定。好孩子。以前我们在这个年纪都不知道什么叫刷牙。。。所以牙齿都蛀掉了。那天，刚好他打来的时候，我在忙，我就跟他说，姨姨要做工，不能跟你玩~ 后来他立刻从一个开心期待的模样，变成了伤心失望。。他说：为什么~~~？没有人跟我玩~ 就扁嘴的默默离开。我就说，姨姨跟你玩多一下~ 后来马上找救援。。刚好这个时间，很多人都忙。。。后来找我澳洲的侄女。。他7或8岁。。不过，她只会说英文。。侄子可以说吗？不管了。。有人就好。

结果，出乎我的意料。小侄子竟然会说英文耶！好可爱。我一直在线上，只是没有参与他们的对话。每次都觉得他们的对话很可爱。

侄子的口语真的有点像法国人。哈哈哈。他一开口就说: do you want to see my room? do you want to see this? where u? 虽然一直重复，侄女也跟他聊的不错。

后来，到了一个环节是，他们俩分享自己的作品。小侄子给侄女看他自己做的面具。还教她怎么戴。侄女就给他欣赏她的画。





小孩的对话真的可以解忧。难怪以前美国有一个这样的节目。就是邀请不同的小孩们来上节目。要年纪小的。然后跟他们对话，听他们的逻辑。。。这个节目在美国还挺多人看的。。。好疗愈。哈哈哈。。。

小孩子真的很容易满足。。一下子就忘记了不开心的事情。。。如果我也可以这样，那该多好。

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?

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！
