爱久见人心

爱久见人心 - 梁静茹

我冷漠是不想被看出太容易被感动触及
我比较喜欢现在的自己 不太想回到过去
我常常为我们之间忽远忽近的关系 感到担心或委屈
别人只一句话 就刺痛心里每一根神经

你的孤单是座城堡 让人敬仰又犯疫
你的温柔那么缓慢 小心翼翼 脆弱又安静
也许我们都意会到 这次面对的幸福是真的来临
因为太珍惜 所以才犹豫
忘了先把彼此抱紧

我不是流言 不能猜测你
疯狂的游戏 需要谁准许
别人怎么说 我都不介意
我爱不爱你 日久见人心

存一寸光阴 换一个世纪
摘一片苦心 酿一滴蜂蜜
用尽了全力 只为在一起
我爱不爱你 爱久见人心


平淡幸福的背后,有着浓烈的情感
亦如这歌一般
平淡旋律的续接, 有着强烈的起伏

爱,是真的日久见人心
一段感情的开始,很多时候存在着太多的
不清不楚

一段爱情,是成长,还是萎缩
日子久了,相处久了,
就也一目了然

感触

曾经,我也是个肆无忌惮的一个人,
当然,也只是口头上肆无忌惮。
想说什么就说什么,
不高兴,闹情绪,
好像非常的理所当然。

总觉得,自己老是理字当头,
理直气壮的,
也不怕得罪人。

当然,那也之仅于朋友之间的相处,
也还不至于对任何人,
都像个霸王似的,
大无赖!

最近发现自己,
好像没有了什么菱角。
但是扪心自问,
到底是我收敛了,
还是,身边的,
不再是可以放肆的对象了呢?
算了吧,人生有太多的烦恼了,
何苦又拿一件事来烦恼自己呢?
凡事,顺其自然,
是水到渠成呢?
还是,功败垂成?
一切只有安排。

夜渐渐的深了,
想说,
收拾自己的心情,
整整自己的思绪,
更新自己的部落格。

却,
呆呆的坐在荧幕前,
手,摆在键盘上,
一个字也没有。

从什么时候开始,
我失去了以文字宣泄的能力呢?

又是从什么时候,
我麻木的行走每一天呢?

我是失去了感受的能力?
还是我一直以来都没有这能力?

还是,
我关上了那一道心门?

Satay Celup

炎热的夜晚,在古城的某条街道旁,有着成群结队的年轻人,一家大小的家庭,按着街道,排着队,等待着,盼望着前面长长的队伍可以以快一些的速度缩短。

这里,有着非常出名的satay celup,那一条长达几间店面的队伍似乎也响应着它的知名度。当我们开始我们的漫长的等待时,已是夜晚9点30分了。

夜晚并没有给古城带来一丝清凉,也许路上不断经过的车辆让空气干燥不已,灰尘漫天飞。温室效应,夜晚,失去了清凉的本质了。

随着时间的流逝,我们的队伍也慢慢的往前移,也看见不少的人因为受不了长时间的等待,决定让他们其中一员留守位子,其他人就自行找自己的消遣。也有人选择坐在一旁店面的走廊上,干净与否,不再是考量。电子科技的发达也帮上不少人打发时间,看戏的,玩游戏的,八仙过海,各显神通,大家都有自己的消遣时间的办法。

漫长的等待,炎热的天气,不止消磨了人的体力,也消磨了人的耐心。人,就可能变得比较暴躁,有时候,冲突就发生了。

当我们踏进那家店时,已是夜晚11点了,漫长的等待,也消磨了大家的食欲,大家都有种赶快吃完,赶快离开的感觉。

将近两个小时的等待,值得吗?这satay celup最著名的我想就是他们把沙爹的酱汁稍微改良了,浓浓的酱配搭些许的辣味,而且,他们把酱当成汤料,其实就是类似刷刷锅的吃法,只是汤料改成了沙爹酱。一串串的食料,以沙爹的形态,任君选择,一串九十仙,其实也不便宜。

我们8个人,也只吃了百多串,大家都没有太好的胃口了,其中一个朋友,已经昏昏欲睡了。不知觉的,我们其实也吃了一个小时左右,也不怪外面的队伍如此的长。

当我们出来是,看见队伍依然和我们刚排队时一样的长,不禁感叹,人,真的是疯狂的动物啊。

是否值得?如果不需要等太长的时间,试试无妨,但是,如果需要排上个一个小时左右,免了吧,没有什么太特别,非试不可的道理。

忘记vs不知道

忘记,与,不知道,
同等吗?一样吗?

直觉的,我认为,
忘记和不知道,不一样,
非常的不一样。

我对你说过的事情,
如果你忘了,只能说你忘了,
而不是不知道。
因为你说不知道,
对我来说,就是完全没有把我说过的事情,
放在心里。
而且最糟糕的是,
你说不知道,我会觉得,
你连我有向你提过这事,都忘了。
所以,才会说,
你不知道,而不是忘记了。

所以,我觉得忘记,和不知道,
差远了!

后来,和我讨论这事的那人!
说,忘记和不知道是一样的。
你忘了,所以,
意识里,我没有对你说过,
所以,你不知道。

想想,好像是这样哦,
因为忘记,所以不知道。

也许是对的吧,
忘记和不知道,
在某个程度上,是一样的。

但是,在我心态上,
如果我说过的事,
但是你后来再问我一遍,
然后告诉我说,你不知道,而不是你忘了,
我个人会觉得被冒犯了。

他说,是我想太多了,
也许吧,哈哈。
我们讨论这事时,
是在地铁里,想想,
好像,有点丢人,
哈哈。

428集会 - 你的心态是什么?

428集会虽然结束了,但是犹如地震一般,余震依然不断。虽然我现在人在KL,但是我也没有选择出席,我选择回家。就是我人留在KL,我想我也不会出席,基本上,我是一点想要参与的心态也没有。

集会前夕,面子书上不断的有友人上载一些短文,一些短片,呼吁大家参加这集会,让政府知道我们要的是个干净的制度。2011年7月9日的Bersih2.0是个非常成功的集会,虽然当时发生了不少的事情,但是不得不说,那时的集会其实如同棒喝,人民,政府也开始警觉这社会的变化,选民的改变。

428集会其实是想延续一样的气势,很可惜的,428集会多多少少,难免的,被政治化了。709集会的最后暴乱其实给了朝野党也个非常好的机会,一个打击政府的机会。我不认同709最后政府以镇暴的手段对付平民百姓,我不认同,你不认同,他也不认同,形成了一个不可漠视的一个无形的力量,政府在那时就马上的失去了更多的人心,选民更是对政府失望。

那么,在筹划428集会时,人民的安全,是否是个顾虑呢?毕竟,同样的事情在不早前就发生了一次。不能一直说参加集会的人都只要求和平的抗议,任何的暴动只因警方先镇暴,才产生了所有的暴乱。就算是警方先动手,举办当局不能只是一味的认为这是政府的错误,认为政府做的不对,当局是否就有个对策呢?一个应付暴乱的对策呢?很遗憾,当局只是一味说,我们要求的是和平的集会,我们追求和平,为什么要镇暴呢?虽然要求和平的集会,是不是应该也来个未雨绸缪呢,好好策划退路,来个危机处理呢?警方有警方的讲法,当局有当局的道理,孰是,孰非,不可而知。 

愤怒,是个非常可怕的情绪,尤其是在一个如此大的集会上,因为人的情绪是非常容易的被骚动。我们事后看到的不只是警方的暴力对待,看到更多的是人民的反抗,愤怒的驾驭下,再加上觉得大家不该如此被对待的情绪,做的一切,自然就会觉得是理所当然,当天,当下,做的一切仿佛是不受法律的制裁。

在看了这么多朋友上载的质询,我突然有个疑问,到底,参加这集会的人抱着一个什么样的心态呢?很多人可以马上的说要给政府一个警告,一个讯息,我们要的是个干净的制度。这个是目的,但是心态呢?你是以兴奋,期待,迫不及待的情绪,想说能为自己的国家出一份力的心态去参加?还是你是秉着一个悲伤的心情前往呢?我们国家什么时候如此的不堪了?什么时候我们需要如此的表态我们的想法呢?

我和另一个朋友提起,觉得,想要改变,其实最重要的是,先从自己开始,今天,我们是不是真的就是个奉公守法的人民呢?我们做的是不是就是我们从小在学校里道德教育所教的呢?虽然常言道,上梁不正下梁歪,但是只要下梁挺个直,上梁其实也不得不正。

现任政府是腐败的,但是记住,不管将来是谁掌权,政府永远是从人民里选出来的,掌权者,也曾是人民,所以,只要我们国家的人民都遵守Bersih所要求的制度,那么在不远的日子,我们国家就会有个干净的制度,干净的掌权者。

我没有出席集会,其实也可以说我不想出席,不是我不爱国,不是我不想出一份力。今天的我,只想做好自己的本分,把分内的事做好,我才能理直气壮的说,我对这个国家不是没有出一份力,没有尽一份心。

Movies Weekend

Spent the weekend with movies...It started with Friday night, where me and my housemates went for the new movie, Battleship. I knew this movie but i wasnt really know what this movie all about, well, to be fair, i had complete no idea, because the title did not sound interesting to me, well, i know i was being an idiot. I searched for the trailer after my housemates asked if i wanna join them on friday movie night. Well, quite impressive, the trailer, i could see some of the scenes that were quite 'Transformer', haha. I saw Rihanna, isks, i dont like her, but funny thing is, i like her look, and turned out, i quite enjoy her performances in Battleship. I dont like how she behaves in her real life, if you got what i mean, haha. I like her songs, only when people did cover for them. I sounded a bit mean wasnt it? haha. Whatever.


Compared to The Hunger Game, Battleship was way way way much better. Because to me, Battleship tells the whole story in more intriguing way, they brought laugh when it should be, emotion when seeing people dying, excited when they won the battle, it was like a mixture of different emotions. The Hunger Game however, i felt depressed watching it, well, the story supposed to be depressed and sad, but not during the hunt. People were tracking you down and tried to kill you, i should feel nervous as i didnt know when the enemies would turn out, but i felt boring watching them chasing, killing, and be killed. However, i might buy The Hunger Game book to read, the storyline isnt too bad afterall.

Saturday, sometimes i struggle a bit for what to do during Saturday, i have dozens of different dramas, maybe movies, but i dont feel like watching them sometimes, especially movies. I have this funny thought, i always feel like watching movie is quite wasting my time, though it finished in 2 hours mostly. And dramas, i might need weeks to finish them especially if they were still on air. Yet i dont feel like drama wasting time, because it only takes 40 minutes for an episode, and 2 hours i might finished 3 episodes, of different dramas. I know that's a weird idea, even myself admit that is weird, haha. But of course, there is another reason, sometimes, i need some times for me just to get into the movie, so, i feel dont like to watch movies.

However, this Saturday, out of the blue, i felt like watching movies. Started with New Year's Eve, well i know that movie somewhere near to a crap, based on the rating from IMDB, but i like to see movie with lot lot lot of stars. And then i saw Katherine Heigl. For some reasons, i like Katherine Heigl a lot. I first saw her was the Roswell series. I dont really like her by that time, but i grown fond with her as i watched quite a few of her works from time to time, 27 dresses, Killer, Life as We Know It, and now, New's Year eve. Then i felt like watching her again, i went to search for her other movies, then i found The Ugly Truth. 


My housemates were still couldnt get themselves out from Extra-Terrestrial theme movie. And they knew that i actually had a copy of Battle Los Angeles, then they got a copy from me, and i was excited to watch as well. Hence i started my Sunday with Battle Los Angeles.


If compare Battle:LA with Battleship, i sincerely do not know which stands a better win, because both were great movies to me. Battle:LA spent 100 minutes on showing us how the marines won the battle in one single day. Ya, one single day, except of course at the very beginning, maybe like 10 minutes showing how those marines prepared themselves to a brand new day with brand new challenge ahead of them. Then the rest of the movie, it brought us into the fight between the marines and the ET. One bad thing about this movie, if i had to say, it was about the casting, there were too many characters, which totally make sense, because an army aint going to be less than 10 people right? But i found trouble to remember who is who, at the end of the movie, i couldnt even recall one single name! Battleship however, it gave us sometimes to get familiar with the main characters. More time with the front introducing, then less time for the battle, though they still had a great great fight. Again, if i had to say a bad thing about Battleship, it's that Alexandra Skarsgard, the big brother was killed too soon, and too easy! He was killed in a shock, and i guess we were all shock he was killed so soon, just at the very beginning the ET started to attack. Isk, what a waste. Oh ya, one good thing that Battle:LA outshine Battleship was that, few scenes, we could feel the emotions from the actors, to be honest, i had few scenes where my eyes were wet.

Ok, after Battle:LA, i started to watch The Ugly Truth, oh man, that was hilarious, my housemates thought am i nut? haha. Well, got to admit, i didnt expect it would be that hilarious, i knew it was a love comedy, but those nasty sentences, oh lord, i wonder how many cuts those actors had just to get those lines out! I like love comedy movies, it relieved me, and i could still feel touch. This one, however, i didnt feel touch, but it was hilarious, and i guess that's enough for me, haha.


After Katherine Heigl, now goes to the male actor that i think i like, Hugh Grant. I didnt watch his movies much, but Notting Hill stuck in my mind for more than a decade, ever since i watched from tv when i was, like 10 or 11. Not to mention i like When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating. The movie i watched was Love Actually. It was a British production, and again, it was a all star movies, though i only know Hugh Grant, haha. It was talking about LOVE, during Christmas time. Well, i dont feel particular emotion after watching it. It was a good movie, that's all i had to say, haha. Some naked scenes, that was something that i would expected, quite a shocker actually, but nothing nasty, or lust, no worry. It was a very harmony movies actually.


Here comes to the wrap of this weekend, it is 10:22pm, it's time for me to go to the bed. I am having migraine since afternoon, perhaps i laughed too much or hold too much when i was watching The Ugly Truth, haha. Tomorrow is working day, wish i have a great week ahead of me, though i might be real busy the next two days!!! 

Good night world.

巴厘岛之旅

上个星期日,收拾了简单的行囊,然后在地铁站和慧婷碰面。我和慧婷是中二中三同班同学,但是之后,我们就没有真正的聊过天,一直到这次的旅行,我们才再一次在事隔多年后真正的交谈。多年不见,虽然也是有些隔膜,但是一路从地铁站到机场,我们还是谈的很尽兴。

当我们到达机场时,佩诗和Marcus也同时间的一起到达了,对,这次就是我们巴厘岛四人行之旅。去年当佩诗询问我时,我其实有一刹那的犹豫,因为我觉得如果大家不太熟略,玩的就会不尽兴,但是,巴厘岛的确又是一个非常吸引人的旅游景点,所以牙一咬,就决定了这次的旅行了。

我其实不知道从KL到Bali需要三个小时的飞程,真的有点折磨啊。只是简单的从Kuching到KL,将近两个小时的飞程我都有点坐不住了,更何况三个小时呢?而且我们的飞机还延迟了一些,在机上,冷气停止了将近十分钟,郁闷啊。

因为展延哦关系,我们比预定的时间迟了。我们原是5.55pm的飞机,8.55pm到达,但是因为展延,又加上要填过境时的交的表格,再加上剩下的手续,当我们出机场的时候,还真的有点迟了。

出机场的那一瞬间,我即刻感觉的闷热!虽然都已经听说了巴厘岛的天气非常的炎热,但是我没有想到就连夜晚也是如此闷热,将近十点了,一点风的感觉的都没有,我的天啊。

当我们走向我们的德士时,我还真的有点吓到,不是Toyota,就是Chevrelot,天啊,我们国家的德士还真的,非常的廉价啊!就这样,我坐上了我人生第一次的Chevrelot,哈哈。

虽然时间是有点晚了,但是我们还是出门找吃!怎么可能错过吃得机会呢?一路上虽然很多餐馆,但是很多已经走向国际化,我们不想来到这里,结果吃个意大利餐什么的,我们要当地的一些食物。也许是夜了,我们决定的餐馆也就只有我们四个人而已,是生意不好?还是真的是夜了,还真的不知道呢。但是我们都觉得那里的食物很不错,尤其是炒饭,超有所谓的‘锅气’,很香,就连摆进嘴里还是能感受到那浓浓的锅气,赞!也因为这间店的炒饭,决定了我们接下来的每一餐都会叫一盘炒饭!

吃完晚餐,回到酒店,也差不多将近十二点了,但是我们隔天的第一站就是要去看海豚,因为距离遥远,所以我们得凌晨三点出发,也就是说两点多就得起身准备了,我看了看时间,觉得,还不如不睡呢,结果我就试着不睡!但是,我还是老了,一点半的时候,我感觉到我的世界在不停的旋转,转啊,转啊,我知道我不能了,我一定要让自己躺一躺,汗颜。

凌晨三点坐车时能做些什么呢?什么都不能做,也什么都没有的看,所以我们就决定大家自己睡自己的。我还真的不知道我是否真的有睡着没有,因为我不停的的换位置,因为我一个人坐最后一排,所以我可以躺下,也可坐着睡,但是就是找不到最舒服的位置,唉。

到达目的地时,其实那也不是我们要的目的地,只是那司机擅自停在一个他熟悉的地方。我们原本订了一位司机(朋友介绍),但是因为那司机可能太忙了,就拨了另一个司机给我们,而这位司机就有点不大诚实了。佩诗其实一早就订好了我们要出海看海豚的船,但是上船的地点和我们停下来的地点,其实还是有点距离,而且,那司机说他可以帮我们要一艘船,印尼币100k。拜托,佩诗说,她订的那一艘其实也只是60k,怎么可能差这么的多?后来不得已,那司机就以60k成交。但是我们的那艘船,慢,非常的慢,在马路上可能就只是时速10-20km/h而已,不禁的想,是不是因为我们只给60k,所以特地找艘超级可悲的船给我们呢?

不过我们见识了非常壮观的日出,之所以用壮观,是因为那太阳,真的超大颗,刺的我几乎睁不开眼!!但是真的是叹为观止啦。在海上漂荡了不知道多久,终于我们也看到了海豚,有几次我们真的是在近距离看到海豚,但是再近其实也是有个距离啦,哈哈。当我们要回岸边的时候,我们就真的感受到无尽的折磨了,因为那船实在是太太太慢了!明明我们先返航,但是我们确实最后上岸,天啊!!!

海豚后,我们就说要吃早餐,那司机就带我们到一间小餐馆,但是我的神啊,不好吃,真的是不好吃啊。我们就开始觉得,不行啊,这个司机带我们取得地方,都不行啊,分分钟被他砍了也不知道。我们其实也是明白他们司机也是有在商家那里获取一些盈利,只要他们带游客到他们的店,只是普通的一只水,他们都能有一些盈利。我们不是不赞同,但是起码也带我们去一些较好口碑的吧,那间餐馆,真的是,无言啊!

我们这次的旅行其实是较着重于景点观光,所以和我印象中的巴厘岛,其实有一些差距。景点观光,如果有兴趣的人,就真的很享受,但是我就还好而已,我也没有拍照的习惯,所以就只是走走看看。整个旅行,最最享受的时候,就是坐下来,吃东西的时候!哈哈。

我做了我人生第一次的脚底按摩,有痛,但是不是不可忍受的,只是因为我有脚毛,所以当他们在推我的小腿时,不免的,会不停的扯到我的脚毛,结果,脚板不痛,小腿碰到水的时候就有些刺痛!!

住宿都还不错,第一晚我们在Tune Hotel待了才不过四个小时,就check out了,哈哈。第二晚我们住的地方叫Nick's Homestay,就好象民宿,一个庭院,不同的房间,算是干净的,但是一个人的话,我觉得有点恐怖,哈哈。第三晚,我们找了一间5星级的酒店,BluePoint Hotel,期望太高了,结果就非常的失望!不值得,不值得,但是因为是promotion price,所以还好不会太贵!海景很不错,但是房间就不行了。因为酒店里的食物太贵了,酒店的地点又非常的偏僻,虽然隔壁是有其他酒店,但是还是隔了一段距离,所以我们就租了两辆摩托车,一路驾着出去,看看有什么餐馆可以试试。

结果,还真的找到了一件非常好的餐馆,食物好吃,价钱也便宜,格调也不错的餐馆,Yeye's Restaurant。非常明显那里是做西方游客的生意,就只有我们这一桌是亚洲人。但是那里食物真的很不错,尤其是鱼类,鱼肉非常的甜美,微醺的感觉在嘴里融化,天啊,真的很不错呢!结果,我们叫了8样食物!晕!但是价钱确实和我们前两晚吃的没有太大的差别,也许那里不是旅游胜地,所以就较便宜些。

最后一天的正午,我们就在市区走走,再去做做spa,就前往机场了。

飞回到来KL时,才知道原来我们登机的时候,印尼苏岛发生了8.6级的地震,就连马泰新印度都感觉微震,就是我们不知道。我妈说她担心的很,又打不通我的电话,关机了呗,而我们还懵懵懂懂的,哈哈。

四天三夜之旅就这样的结束了,期待着下一次的旅行吧!

Treasure Hunt - Melacca

Yesterday i woke up 5am in the morning, and it was Saturday!!! I joined my colleagues with our company treasure hunt event and we had to reach Sunway by 7am, so, i had to wake up on 5am! I had my housemate to  take me to Wangsa Maju before 6am, had to wake my housemate up just to send me to Wangsa Maju, i never hesitate huh? hahaha. 

Let's focus on the treasure hunt, there were total 8 teams, each made up  by 8-10 ppl. Our team supposed to be 10 ppl, but ended up with 8 ppl only because the other two were engaged to other business. But this did not put us in a bad position, because actually they only wanted 8 ppl in one team, somehow the news was a bit off when it came to our department, we gathered 10 ppl, and i was the last one registered in the list, haha. Anyway, we ended up forming a team with 8 ppl as well, so i guess it was fair to other teams afterall. 

There were two departments involved in this activity, us, ICT department, and SuperPages department. Never heard of SuperPages? Never mind, because i also dono what that is until my colleague told me that it is something similar to YellowPages, in an advance way, haha. Like i said, there were 8 teams, and our ICT department only able to gather 1 team, 1 vs 7, we were definitely in a very bad position in winning right?

This treasure hunt started from Sunway, 1 check point at Sunway, and then another 1 at Seremban, then the 5 more check points at Malacca. Our team definitely started up strong, because we solved the first clue within 10 minutes, while the others still cracking their head out for solution. Thanks to my teammates, they are certainly fast thinking machine, a glance on the clue, already figured it out. It was a decipher code clue, first clue was 10 characters of SUPER PAGES given, and then second clue was 10 digits given, then a bunch of digits given for us to decipher. Actually each digit given in clue 2 represented the character in clue 1 correspondingly, then based on the letter sequence, we deciphered the digit into letter, then got our first check point location. When we walked to our cars, the other teams were shock that we done so fast, "what? they done already?" , "so fast?" . Tell you the truth, it felt AWESOME, even though i didnt contribute anything, hahaha.

The second clue was requesting us to bring some 'treasures' based on the poets given, and those were definitely tough! Here one of the clue is,

Bring me a pack for the snack lover
From a bin and plot for flowers
Its content in part is a word for money
And that which means cut known to many
The snack of the right brand only do I want
If you are half right, half points to give I can't

Able to figure it out what that is? The answer is Cashew nut, Tong Garden brand! And we were able to crack this! What an achievement!!! I just couldnt believe that we were right on spot! Hahaha. As for the second item, it was solved by our teammates in the another car. There were 2 parts in our second clue, one was to figure the treasurse, and another was try to figure the sentence based on the hints given. For eg,

24 H in a D = 24 Hours in a Day

This one is much easier, but it wasnt as easy as we thought it would be, for eg,

88 K in a P
18 H in a G C

No idea right? haha, ended up we googled for the answers, it turned out to be,

88 Keys in a Piano
18 Holes in a Golf Course

Who would have thought that? Thanks Google. Wasnt fair? Well we are ICT team, what we know the best? Make use of the technology to the max! I bet our teams also googled the answers, but i think there were few teams didnt, based on their reactions during the answer reveal section. The answers are obvious if you google, so no way you would get it wrong, unless you did not google! 

Even though we able to figure them out, but my team, one car was too way behind another. The car that i was in, we reached there earlier, saw few teams already made it to the checkpoint, but lucky for us, they didnt seem to be able to figure the clues out. But as we saw they all run towards the petrol station's mall as the time went by, and we still didnt see any sign of the other car of our team, we got a bit anxious! Even though it wasnt a competition of speed, which mean no points given even you signed in the checkpoint first, the points were depends on the answers we answered based on the clues. But still, who wouldnt want to be the first? At last, when we saw another car of our team arrived, we were finally able to move on!

The third clue was Rebus Puzzle . This one was a bit tricky, we didnt google it at first, because some of them were easy, like,

means Stay Over Night

But we did got some tricky puzzle,



The former one means Up To No Good, and the latter one means Scrambled Egg
Anyway, we ended up to google for the answers, and we didnt know it is known as Rebus Puzzle, so basically i was just googled, Doogon Doogon puzzle, ahahaha. We struggled the most with the below one, which we cant google for answer, because so far, no answer just yet!

HOTONIGHTW?
means, How About Tonight, because HOW is around TONIGHT, and around=about, so the answer is HOW ABOUT TONIGHT!

Genius! But somehow, we able to guess it right, by common sense!!!! We were screaming when the answer was revealed! Because we all thought we must got it wrong, but who knows, common sense saved us!

Then we reached Malacca, and started our walking hunt! 10 clues were given, and each clue represented a shop's name. Some of the clues were just slogans of the shops, but some we need to depend on our imagination, for example, self location
self = my
location = place
so the answer was a restaurant called My Place. Tricky? Ya, it was!

But thanks to one of our teammates, Mr Paul, he definitely a true observer, he answered 7-8 out of 10 questions, while the rest, 7 of us only able to come out with 2 answers! 

This challenge took us so long until we lost track of time, this challenge ended up with a task of taking picture where all the team members enjoying the chendol. And when we were sitting in the shop, waiting for our chendol, I noticed that the hour is late, and asked when was the checkpoint close, checked, and gosh, only 15 minutes left, and we havent figure where the checkpoint was. No time for us to enjoy the chendol slowly, we're all in hurry, finished as fast as we could, then started running. Along the way, we saw the other teams were still trying to solve the challenge, that was quite a relieve, hahaha.

When we got to the checkpoint, there was one team ahead of us, it was obvious it was between us and them. 

The next challenge, was trying to figure out the answers of few history questions. The answers can be found in St Paul, and the museum. We failed to finish it all, because we just couldnt find the answer of that particular question, who is the name of Nicoleas Muller's wife? Even Google failed to provide answer. 

Once we done, we were requested to take a photo in front of a truck, with several items that listed in the challenge. We dont even bother to find those items, just applied whatever we had with us.

1. 2 x Headband (we had a malay teammate, solved one, then using handkerchief as the other one!)
2. 2 x sunglasses (We got two, though mine one not exactly the sunglasses, but still appear dark under the light!)
3. 2 x weapons (umbrella!) 
4. Wig (well, using the girl's long hair, and put them on the top of another teammate, who is bald, creative!)
5. Sarong (I got towel!!!)

Once we finished taking picture, we saw the other team coming, and that was the first team finished the previous challenge, which means, we were back to the top. But we got a bit carried away by the last challenge. It was a matching challenge, match the image with their name, not so tough. But when we were done, we need to submit our answer to the last checkpoint, we were just too relax, and thought the last check point must be so far away based on the map given, so decided to go back to take our cars and drive to the checkpoint. The last check point was actually only 6 minutes away based on Google Map. We figured that out, and then decided to go to the last check point first. And that's when we lost our chance to check in first.

But like i said earlier, that was not a speed game, it was all about the answers we submitted. So when the answers were revealed, we did pay attention to other teams, guess what, we had a great chance of winning this! I personally feel not good to reveal the team position started from the last place, because it just meant you are the loser, haha. Anyway, there were tight scores among those teams, but certainly not the champion. The organizer said, the champion really deserves it, as the champion team was 27 scores ahead of the runner up. Of course, the champion was our ICT team! We felt so so so awesome!!! Especially we won by such a big lead!

It was fun, but we didnt have much interaction with another teams, everyone busy with their answer searching, and preventing other teams overheard the conversations too, haha. 

And Malacca, damn hot! The sun is a real damage!!! Got all burnt by the end of the game!

That was fun, tiring too. I honestly wasnt contribute anything, hahahaha, but i shared the honor! Hahaha. Never hesitate right?

第一个月


一个月的时间,是长呢?还是短呢?随着年岁的增长,时间只有越过越快的感觉,对我来说,一个月,简直是短的可以啊。可不是吗?上个月的昨天,我向我的公司报到,正式的成为上班族。一转眼,一个月就这样过去了,有点浑浑噩噩的感觉,哈哈。

与同事的相处也还蛮不错的,大家都有说有笑的,我也算是打破我的一贯的沉默,打从一开始就试着打开话题,认识我的人都知道,当我面对陌生人时,我大多都是保持沉默,也只有在我认识的人面前比较疯。但是我这次其实再次打开我自己,就犹如2006年当我刚到大学报到,我那时也是非常的放开我自己,尝试去认识一些新的朋友,结果,我认识了一些一生的朋友,有好的,也有“不好”的!!!哈哈哈,没有啦,大家都是“好”朋友,很高兴认识了他们,5年,长达5年的日子,因为他们而变得有趣,在古晋的日子也变得不再那么难熬,呵呵。

告别了5年熟悉的地方,我来到了KL,上一次来KL实习时,是2008年,长达6个月的实习,我其实没有交到非常要好的朋友,因为那时,也许一些事情的发生,让我在那段时间有点封闭了自己,我那时,真的,有点讨人厌吧,哈哈哈。今年,再次回来KL,我找回2006那时的自己,我也才知道原来,我真的可以有很多废话,哈哈哈。我觉得我的几个男同事是闷骚型,其实我自己何尝不是呢?在陌生人面前正经八百的,不苟言笑,其实,认识我的人都知道,我有时,疯狂的很啊,哈哈哈。

一个月了,是时候真正的要步入轨道了,我不期望我会有多大的成就,但是我希望我可以呈现最棒的自己。也许你会觉得我有点自大这么说,我一直认为,我代表的不只是我自己本身,还有就是我的大学。当然,我觉得我不只是我自己而已,我们每个人其实都必须有那么的一个自知自明,我们所表现的,不只是我们个人的能力,还有培养我们的大学,尤其是,我们的大学,Unimas,还不是太为人所知,我们就是最有力的宣传了,哈哈哈哈,有点自大不是?哈哈哈。

最后一句,加油吧!仰望属于我们的未来!

Department Dinner

I planned to go back home during the last weekend, but our company CTO had invited our IT department colleagues to go over his house to have a dinner. It is a yearly event, our CTO will invite all from the IT department to his house, having a dinner once a year, something like the team building event. Well, should i say lucky me because i joined the company only for 10 days, then i joined the first team event? Haha.

At first i was reluctant to join, because i am still a very new man in the department, not really get to know my colleagues every well just yet. However, things turned out to be quite fun, i had my time. Though i might be the joke of the day, sweat.

Working as a developer always a stressful job, especially when you faced some stubborn bugs which just dont want to go away from you. I used to call my friends name and talked to them whenever i felt tired solving the bugs, and i was facing the same situation last friday, but i had no one to talk to, because everyone seem so serious about their jobs. So during the dinner, i aske them if they get frustrated when they solving bugs, because i was scared to be the only weirdo, because i normally point my fingers on the monitor, and mumbling about why, why, why. My assistant manager thought i bang my head to the monitor whenever i feel stressful, when she heard about the monitor but without letting my colleague finishing up the whole sentence. Hence the joke seed planted into someone's heart.

Then after dinner, our manager suggested to have a simple game, every one taking a piece of paper, then wrote down the person and the question that you would like to ask among us that night. And one more encourage statement for anyone in the room as well. It was a simple game, but torturing us a lot, because we dont know what to ask, or who to ask. And i was the last person submitted the paper, sweat again.

Well, guess what, i was one of the popular person being asked, three times, and two statements to me. Here are the questions.

1. What is your favorite food?
2. How many girlfriends do you think you would have until you get marry?
3. What do feel like working in this company?

The first and third questions were pretty normal, but the second question, bloody hell, i last my tongue for few seconds before answering that. As my answer, hehe, sure 1 lah, hahaha.

Then the statements. Both statements mentioned about the bugs solving things, that i can talk to them if i feel like, and dont bang my head on the monitor!!! Gosh, how embarrassing, yet a lot of fun.

We celebrated one of our colleague birthday as well, and she definitely showed us a very good way in cutting cake, bizarre though, haha. Show you guys if you guys buy me a cake lah, hahahaha.

Conclusion, it was a very nice dinner, and i finally got to meet my boss, the CEO of the company, and he is able to remember all of his stuff's names, that's impressive, mine was the exception though, haha.

生活

天色依然灰暗,晨光依稀朦胧,
然而,
准时响起的闹钟,唤醒许多嗜睡的灵魂,
按下闹钟,容许自己继续的赖在床上一会。

起床,梳洗,早餐,出门,
天也亮了。

都市的早晨,
缺了清新的空气,少了宁静的氛围,
却,
多了匆匆的人们,加了节奏的人生。

总是在巴士上,快铁里看见闭目小憩的上班族,
渐渐的,也能在摇晃拥挤的快铁里,
闭目偷睏养神。

早晨,应该是朝气勃勃,
都市的早晨,却是暮气沉沉。
少了激进,少了动力,
仿佛一切只是为了工作而工作,
为了生活而生活。
对于一天的开始,大家都期盼着那一天的结束。
不对的工作,着实抹杀了一个人对生活的热忱。

刚开始工作,
对这份工其实有着明显的期盼,
期望能有不错的表现。
但是事与愿违,有处处碰壁的感觉,
虽然知道现实的需求,和学校里的要求有着明显的差距,
真正面对时,却还是措手不及啊。

但是,人生不就是永久的学习吗?

起床,工作,下班,睡觉,
不变的生活的规律。
但是,如何在这规律里寻找愉快,
却是落在每个人的手里。
每一种生活,都有一百种的生活方式,
选择,掌握在自己手里。



是晴天娃娃,还是雨天娃娃,
你的抉择。

巧合

新年终于在昨天,过去了。非常难得,今年的元宵节刚好落在 Prophet Muhammad's Birthday的隔一天。很巧的,元宵节是落在星期一,而星期一是补假,所以很多人就以为今年很特别,以为咱们政府怎么这么好,今年元宵节竟是假期。其实不是,只是就是那么的刚巧,碰在一起。而且,元宵节的隔一天就是大宝森节。二月的一开头,大马的三大种族排排队,过过节,1Malaysia,有时候,世事就是那么的巧。

对,有时候,有些事情就是那么的巧。我从没有想过我和大学里的同学竟会有一天成为同事。对,同事,我在我工作的第一天,在游览公司的设有的face book时,真的是face book,里面全是同事的大头照,我看见了一张甚是熟悉的面孔,然后再看看名字,心里马上惊呼我的天,怎么是他??!!但是因为在我的工作的办公室里,我没有看见他,所以我就以为他可能在总公司或其他部门,也许不会碰到面。我和他,老实说,还真的只是点头的陌生人,因为是不同科系,但是这位仁兄的故事,我倒是听过不少,褒多过赞就是了。我和他倒是从没有合作的经验啦。

结果,第二天,早上,他突然的就出现,还对我说了一句,“I think i know you”,我就说,“We were from the same uni ba”,然后只是随便聊聊,他好像很忙似的,收了东西,又出公司了。后来才从另一个同事那里知道,他其实长时间会呆在client side,可能是做support的吧。

如果只是这么一件事,我倒也不会觉的世事有多么的巧合。但是我在吃午餐的时候,我碰到了我2008年在NEC的同事,一个和我较好的大姐姐。当我看见她坐在我对面的桌子时,我有一刹那的愣住了,而她其实也意想不到会看到我,一下子也没有认出是我,哈哈。我们放下自己的午餐,然后聊聊,互留电话,以便再约一起吃饭。

也许是世界真的很小,也许是KL本来就不大,街头分开街尾撞见的几率其实也不小。但是有些人,就是住在你隔壁,你一个月里搞不好也不会见上一次面。也许是巧合,也许就是有缘,茫茫人海里,第一次见面接触不稀奇,但是分开后却又能重逢,几率则不大,要把握。时常听人说贵人相助什么的,也许他们就是自己的贵人,也许自己就是他们的贵人,人际关系吧。

明天得开工了,希望自己能有好的表现吧!加油!

奔波一月

距离上一次的文,竟然有一个月之久了,我还真的不是普通的懒惰啊,呵呵。但是在过去的一个月里,倒是发生了蛮多的事情。在那短短的一个月里,我奔波的很啊,比起去年从大学回来后的四个月里,上个月,可以堪称短期内最为忙碌的一个月。更别提新年也是落在上个月。

早在去年十二月时,我就有找工作的打算了。在我原本的计划里,也的确是时候开启人生的另一章节了,虽然有些事情并没有完全的跟着我的计划进行,例如,在学业上。所以在度过我人生第25个生日后,我就开始投入寻找工作的状态。不知道是不是自己也太挑剔了,其实我也只是在选地点,公司的地点,因为对KL真的不熟啊,所以就只能选一些lrt能到达后,走路能到达的地方,结果,我就只选了两件公司。

在一月八号,我终于有了第一次工作面试的经验了。表现的好吗?我觉得还好罢了,呵呵。但是我不曾意识到,如今的面试其实都有所谓的altitude test,test的表现,我就真的觉得,麻麻地罢了,哈哈。在我前去另一件公司面试的前一天,我收到了第一件公示的录取通知,当下我真的非常的挣扎,是接受还是拒绝呢?我明天还有一个面试哦,到底要怎么做呢?仓促中,我选择接受,其实也是因为我对这件公司感觉很不错。如果你问我什么感觉,我也答不上来,就是感觉啦,哈哈。就这样,在面试后的第四天,我有了我人生第一份正式的工作了。当然,我也曾经在中学放假时做了将近六个月的侍应,和三个月的收银员,也有长达六个月的intern经验,但是这份工,是真正的宣示我也进入人生的另一阶段了。

然后,一月十六号,我飞往古晋,收拾东西,见见朋友。短短的两天两夜,其实真的是不够,感觉好匆忙啊。匆忙之余,还很累呢!但是和朋友见面,聊天,倒也是件美事,尤其是我人生的前五年,就是和这一帮人度过,能再见聊天,时间非常难得的事情啊。当我们每个人都开始自己的人生时,见面,就难了,尤其是还隔了南中国海!

古晋回来后就是新年前夕了,今年新年我过的特别的累,因为把精神都放在桌上联谊了吧,呵呵。也许是年龄渐长的关系,身体精神不如以前了,哈哈。

年初四,我搭朋友的车,又前往KL,送一些东西过去我即将居住的房子,就仅仅是送东西,然后当晚又搭巴士回家了。奔波的很啊。

然后二月一号,我也得真正的出门了,因为隔天就是我开工的日子了。

我算了算,上个月,我仅是去KL就去了三次,来回三次!能不奔波吗?

进入二月了,也开启了我人生的第二章节,希望我能好好的,努力的,尽心的,专注于我自己的工作上,加油吧!
