婚姻的疑惑
经来频频的听到身边朋友不愉快的婚姻，甚至闹离婚，其中一个男性朋友正办离婚手续了，他有两个女儿。另外一个女朋友，丈夫搞婚外情，结果被对方的丈夫寻仇，朋友的丈夫被砍伤， 缝了二百多针，我看了他的伤势，心中也阵了阵。
我一直在想，世上到底有没有白头到老的婚姻？白头到来的婚姻能代表完美幸福吗？如果有一个白头到老的婚姻，但天天活在不开心的日子，那又何苦呢？既然如此，何不拿了他的精子，把孩子生下，和孩子相依为命，省得和他过着不开心的日子，不用担心他会搞婚外情，也不用天天量度他过得怎样，少了猜疑心，命也许会长些。
我一直对我以后的生活有着一个简简单单的憧憬，不用大富大贵，我要的是个小康之家，一个会体恤，关心，疼爱我的丈夫，一个肯听我说话，互相扶持， 互相沟通，互相分享大家心历过程的终身伴侣，也许就是这些听起来简简单单的条件，把一切事情搞得复杂化，因为世上更本不会有简简单单的个体。那怎么办？也许，互相了解，体谅，尊重，责任， 扮演着重要角色。
如果我能活多三十年，如果我还写着我自己的“部落个”，我会为我今天对婚姻的疑惑，做个结案呈词。

汤圆
昨天是一年一度的冬至。每一年的汤圆都是由我一人包办，也不让其他人帮忙，因为我对汤圆有极高的要求。我喜欢小小个的汤圆，中间喜欢夹着一粒"gula melaka" （椰糖），吃的时候，QQ的，带点甜味，椰糖的味道。汤圆的汤底由妈妈负责。一般的姜汤，不同的是他用了椰糖， 所以颜色比较深，味道很好。晚餐时，看到眼前风味的美食，也忘了拍照， 到吃完了晚餐后才记得。所以只拍了汤圆的照片。

跑车
我一向对跑车只会用眼光去欣赏， 从没想过去拥有它， 总觉得跑车太奢华不切实际。
刚刚一人开车回家，因为夜了，路上车不多， 自然而然，车越开越快，一辆一辆的车被我overtake，眼看一辆一辆的车往后跑，而我就飞野施的往前奔驰，心中有一种难以形容的快感。 那时刻，觉得往后跑的车真渺小，而我开的小车(Honda Jazz) 比其他车帅多了。顿时感觉，如果我到能拥有一辆跑车那该多好呀！幻想着自己开着James Bond 里的 Aston Martin.......多漂亮，太型了....
很快就回到家了.......我也很快的从夜里的白日梦醒了.......

Poor Odie
Went to Jaya Jusco to buy something just now. When i got home, the first thing my mom told me was, Odie was lost. I was so mad and panic. How can they do nothing knowing that Odie was alone outside. I was so worried and straight away went out to find him. It was 9.30pm. I keep calling Odie Odie... but there was no sign of him.... I was so worried because he cant see. Odie is confirmed blind. I worried that he ran out to the main road. Too many dogs were barking around my housing area when they heard i am calling for Odie. I think i heard Odie's bark among all the dogs barking. No sign of him. I try to stay calm and listen. I stand among the bush and call his name again. Then i heard him crying.... i try to look around. then i saw him, he was in the drain. the drain was rather deep. If i went down, sure i have trouble to climb up. John went down and help me to carry him out.... Odie was too scared and so am i. i was so worried that i will lost him.
I shower him and John help me to blow him dry.... Odie's eye lid was bleeding. i guess he scratch his eyes when he fell into the drain... my poor dog. I warned my family members again to take extra care for him because he is old and he is blind. Dont complain about Odie because he is old. Everyone of us will get old and need people to take care of us.

Ran Away Maid
Early Saturday morning found out that my maid has ran away.... dont know where she has gone. We are still holding her passport. She has been with us for approx 5 months. As of to date, our valueables remain intact. I have made a police report on Sat on the nearest police station.
There are tones of cloths that need to be ironed. So my whole family has started to clean the house as soon as the maid ran away. There are so much that need to be cleaned since everyone of us think the new maid cant really do the job. We doubt her own hygiene.
Starting from today, everyone of us have to wash, hang and iron our own cloths... and need to clean the house ourselves.....This weekend is the first time i iron my cloths since i back from Beijing... hehehe....

Mom's birthday...
Celebrated mom birthday today in The Garden, Canton-i. It was rather crowded in the restaurant, but the food was delicious. I like the Char siew, siu yuk and noodle. It is always my favourite.
This year i think something different for the cake. I bought a jelly cake. Mom like it very much.

Landslide
Early in the morning, friends start calling me and ask whether i am alright. I am still blur and think what have happened to me?
Apparently, the was a massive landslide not far from my house. It happened 3.30am while everyone still in their deep sleep. 14 exclusive banglows were buried, 4 death up to now, many are injured, 2000 residents have been evacuted. There are more than 600 people involved in the search and rescue operations from the military, Civil Defence Department, Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue (Smart) team, Fire & Rescue department, Red Crescent, hospitals and the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council. I can hear the siren all day long. Helicopters flying around in the morning. It was rather sad to know this news.
The area i am staying has always been prompt to landslide. Many years ago, my area did receive message to notify for standby for evacuation. My house is at the first row facing the main road (MRR2). I think it is rather safe.
Anyway, i pray for the safe of all people.

非洲鱼
看着我家鱼缸里的非洲鱼， 一天一天的长大， 真的是高兴。 当我告诉其他朋友我家养了一缸的非洲鱼， 他们都会不约而同的大笑。一般人家养的都是各种各样的金鱼，金龙鱼，花罗汉…. 而我养的却是非洲鱼， 20条非洲鱼 ， 至今死了两条。
其实我养非洲鱼是有原因的，事关我家的电费是由我来承担的，每个月当电费单来时， 我都会叮诉家里的每一个人要shen电， 因为我家的电费实在是太太太贵了，每次看到电单时，真的有冲动想把TNB烧掉。看了看我家外面那个中等大小的鱼缸，养了一条不知道是什么鱼的鱼，不能观赏又不能吃，我一直虎视眈眈，想放生那条鱼， 但大嫂说鱼缸不能空着， 风水不好。我想了想，与其养这条没贡献的鱼，孤苦伶仃，不如行下善，把它放生， 养一些有贡献的鱼，所以就选了非洲鱼。非洲鱼生命力强， 不好看，但肉也挺鲜甜的… 预算农历新年就有收获。 看境况估计得多等几个月，可能是生长环境的局限，那些鱼长得比较慢…. 没关系… 我不急….. 嘻嘻嘻….

唏嘘唏嘘
近来特别喜欢谢安琪的歌， 百听不厌。喜帖街，十字架，十七度… 都很好听。其中有一首歌， 钟无艳，其中一句…."...我甘于当副车 也是快乐着唏嘘..."
….。 唏嘘唏嘘，搞了好久，还是不明白这个字的意思， 更不用说怎么运用。

New Position
It has been a while since the last time I updated my blog. I was busy with work lately. Remember I have posted twice in my blog in relation to 公司内部又重组 , 乱世造英雄. After the reorganisation, there has been quite a bit of changes to the company as well as myself. I have come across the opportunity this time where one of the Business Unit GM offers me a position. I accepted the offer. There will be a rather big change in my role and job scope. These changes will translate to more time that I need to spend on my job. I am alright with that since there will be new things that I can learn from.

Perfect Medical Report
Eventually i got my medical report. This is a year that it shows a perfect blood test rating and perfect in other check up...when i said perfect, i really meant it is perfect. Not a single red flag. i am so happy. Could this be the regular exercise i have? i eat normally, good food, fattening oily food, seafood, healthy food.... i eat all of them.
Remember 2 years ago, i got a shock when i got my medical report. Clinic called me up urgently, one of the blood marker (tumor marker) gone very wrong. I was refered to the specialist. And you know what, i was advised to go for an operation to remove 2 cysts in my body. I was in shock and i cried after that. It was a painful experience, both mentally and physically. That is the time i realized the importance of Medical Insurance and regular medical check up. My operation cost me RM15,000 in Gleneagles and it was fully covered by insurance.
If not because of my ex-company (E&Y) sent me to Bangkok for training, i would not have decided to take a short trip back home that time. Since i am home for a week, nothing much to do, i decided to go for a medical check up. At the end, i take a month leave because of the operation.
Pray hard and work hard for good health....

Tooth Ache
I was having a bad pain attack on my teeth last night. I ate 2 panadols. The pain is still there. Try to search online and see whether there is any 24 hours dental…. No….
So what I can do is to go to the nearest clinic to take some really strong pain killer. It helps. At least I got some good sleep.
After my meeting at 9am, I went to the nearest dental to my office.
Took an x-ray and found that there is decay under a old filling. The decayed was near to the nerve. That’s why causing the pain. The dentist removed the old filling, removed the decayed part, applied medication then fills it back.
The dentist said, it will depend on myself whether it will heal. It not, there will be another attack and it will be worse until the pain killer would not stop the pain. If it happens, probably I will need to do a root canal.
Hope that this will not happen….. I really don’t like to visit any dental…

Fever, Flu and Sore throat...
Guess this is not a healthy year for me.
I was having flu and sore throat on Monday night, so I went to our panel doctor on Tuesday morning. After lunch, starting to feel tired and body start aching. I guess I caught a fever. So I left office at 4pm. It is getting worse while I am driving home. Feel so uncomfortable and tired. Once I got home. Straight away I jump into my bed. Can’t really sleep, but at least I got some rest. I slept from 5pm (Tuesday) to 10am (Thursday). Wake up in between to take some food and medicine. Feel better on Thursday, but still a little bit dizzy. So I decide to take full day MC instead of half day. Then on Thursday night, I feel myself hitting up again. Check my own temperature, fever again. This time better, at least body not aching.
Take the medicine, sleep over the night and up to work again today…..
Still having flu and sore throat at the moment.

三大壮举
悠悠闲闲的周末，除了陪妈妈进进出出外， 只好呆在家里找点搞作。
三大壮举
壮举一：香橙百香果果酱
好多年前一直想自己自制果酱，但就是没实现。家里放了好多百香果，就这么吃觉得太酸了，弄成果汁，也弄了好多遍，所以不如自制果酱。买了香橙和林蒙，拿了家里旧藏的果酱食谱，用了约6–7小时，成功了！还很好味呢！第一次自制果酱，还算不错了， 但还有进步的空间。
壮举二：Odie 理毛
新请的佣人，不会handle Odie. Odie 也不喜欢她。所以带Odie 去理毛。理发师问我要怎么修，我只说了剪短好了，他再问，耳朵剪吗，我说，减半吧，脚呢？我说，都修。几个小时后，理发师打电话通知我说Odie好了。到了宠物店，我看了看Odie 在那儿，我几乎认不出它，理发师将它剃得光光的，像只没穿衣服的狗，挺难看 的，米已成粥，只好安慰自己说，Odie 有皮肤病，我没什么时间照顾它，再说，有了Baby 后现在大多时间它都是在屋外的，剪得越短越好。可怜的Odie, 被我家人不停的笑… 看回Odie昔日的照片，那时迷人多了，都是我不好...
壮举三：木薯糕
妈妈答应了朋友要做木薯糕给他们，妈妈身体不舒服，所以我帮他。烤炉嗅到一阵阵的香味，我心想，这次的木薯糕，肯定很好吃… 45分钟后木薯糕烤好了，我等不及，立刻拿出刀切了一块来尝…糟糕！！！！！木薯糕怎么会那么咸… 我这个笨蛋，竟然误以为那包没写明的盐为糖, 把300克的糖， 弄300克的盐…笨蛋… 这应该算是失败的壮举…

体检
又是一年一度的体检。体检前一直很担心，还想着有没有必要改期体检。我还是去体检了。
体检前一晚是公司的小型庆功宴，喝些酒是免不了的，喝完后又和同事去吃宵夜。医生说，体检前的10个小时要节食， 我看看时间已是11点了，第二天的体检时间是早上10点。狂吃狂喝后的体检后果是如何，还得等到下星期才知道。

Dungun Diving Trip
Last weeked, i went to a short diving trip again. It was quite a last minute when Kenzin asked whether i am interested to join him. I have no plans for the weekend, so i invited few more friends to join the trip. "Fishing" cum diving trip.
We leave KL on Friday night. Approximately 4 hours drive to Dungun Town, Terengganu. We able to catch some rest for the night before we start our diving trip early the next morning.
We have 9 divers on the boat and we will spend our whole day on the boat without resting on land. I thought i ca take the rocky ride on the boat. Right before we reached our destination, i started to feel dizzy, stomach felt blotted. Kenzin help me to gear up for the first dive. I manage to complete the first dive. We need to do our surface interval on the boat, the rocky boat. Oh gosh.... sea sick.... i try to close my eye and take some nap. But once i open my eye, i feel like want to vomit. It was torturing. The rest of the divers do theie 2nd dive. I cant help myself to get up. I dont even have the strenght to gear up. Eventually i throw myself out. I felt much better after that throw and i am awake. After the 2nd surface interval, i was hesitating whether to join the 3rd dive. John said just go for it. Under the sea is calm as compare on the rocky surface. So i joined them....
After the 3rd dive, i un-geared. People infront of the boat were shouting that there is a WHALE SHARK, a gentle giant.... i was so excited. I grab the mask, without any gear, jump straight into the sea. The whale shark swimming towards me on the surface, and then make a turn just next to me.... i am so near to the whale shark. I wanted to touch him, but i am afraid of doing so. I had hold my breath long enough.... what an experience. I did not get the chance to take any photos of it as the camera is not with me....
It is not easy to bump into such a big whale shark. And i am one of the lucky one...
If you are not sure how a whale shark looks like.... check this out...
On the next day, i did not join any of the dive as i am afraid of the sea sick. John and Patrick bump into the whale shark on the 2nd day, lucky them.
It was a great fish harvest trip....

On the next day, i did not join any of the dive as i am afraid of the sea sick. John and Patrick bump into the whale shark on the 2nd day, lucky them.
It was a great fish harvest trip....

My New Watch
October is our company year end, and of course our contractual bonus will be paid in this month as well. So i have been thinking how to reward myself....
I bought a watch today. The first time i spotted this watch was the time when i was in Hong Kong 2 years back. I wanted to buy that watch but i was out of stock when it in all the shop watches in Hong Kong Airport. Since then, i never think about this watch again. And lately, i really wanted to buy myself a new watch....and i did it today. Not an expensive watch, but looks good.

公司内部又重组
身在国际企业，必定会面对公司内部重组再重组，公司收购其他公司后又重组，streamline 后又重组的命运。短短一年的惠普生涯，内部重组不少次。还记得上一回的内部重组， 很多同事都面临不同的命运， 俜请我的老板走了，俜请我老板的老板也走了。现在公司正收购其中一家 IT Outsourcing公司， 这个收购，估计24,600 员工的职位难保。大家都对这数议论纷纷， 开始谈起Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) 的配套。24,600在Country Level 的影响会有多大，到现在还是个未知数。收购将会与今年11 月生效。对于我来说，我估计我有可能会是24,600 的一分子，但现在还言之过早。如果是VSS的配套好，说实的，我不介意被VSS，东家不打，打西家， 但受到风VSS 配套不怎么诱人，这可惨了！也担心不了多少，只可等着瞧了！

HP set to cut workforce by 24,600
HP's hopes its takeover of EDS will help it compete with IBM
Hewlett-Packard (HP), the world's largest computer company, says it plans to cut 24,600 jobs, almost 8% of its workforce, to streamline its business.
The cuts will take place over the next three years as it combines operations with Electronic Data Systems, the technology company it recently bought.
EDS employees are expected to bear the brunt of the cuts.
HP hopes the acquisition will allow it to take on rival IBM and win more lucrative, long-term contracts.
Half of the jobs cuts will be in the US, with finance, human resources and legal departments expected to be affected.
The company said that it eventually planned to add about half the positions back as different jobs in different departments within the company.
HP's $13.9bn takeover of EDS is the firm's biggest acquisition since 2002 when it bought Compaq for $19bn.

Tension
Got this piece from a forwarded email. And would like to share with everyone.
The Moment you are in Tension
You will lose your Attention
Then you are in total Confusion
And you will feel Irritation
Then you will spoil personal Relation
Ultimately, you won't get Co - Operation
Then you will make things Complication
Then your blood pressure may raise Caution
And you may have to take Medication
Instead, understand the Situation
And try to think about the Solution
Many problems will be solved by Discussion
This will work out better in your Profession
Don't think it's my free Suggestion
It's only for your Prevention
If you understand my Intention
You will never come again to Tension
- Bill Gates

Diet Bet
I won my bet of MYR1,000. I was having this bet with John 2 months ago. If i am able to lost 4 kg in 2 months time, i will get MYR1,000, if not, i will lost MYR500.
Today is the due date for this bet. I lost 4 kg. In fact, i lost 2 kg in the first week. I maintain it for 7 weeks. Then i lost another 2 kg in the last week. 4 kg in 8weeks.
In fact, as long as i don’t over eat, eat 70% full. I need not starve myself, combine the diet with some exercise. Somehow, i still feel fat. May be need another 4kg. Will power to lost weight is something i don’t have. I am unable to resist the temptation of food. The least i can do is to maintain my weight.

Doctor Visitsss
I went to see doctor few days ago. I have been coughing and it has affected my sleeping at night. Sore throat for more than a week. This is the third time i went to see doctor in 2 weeks time. I don’t normally see doctor, guess i am afraid to see doctor and i don’t normally see the necessary to see them since i can get whatever medicine from the pharmacy. I kept telling myself that if i want to get well. I should go to see doctor earlier. Furthermore, it is our company panel of doctor. It is relatively convenient for me as i just need to walk to the next building. I have successfully persuaded myself to see doctor, bravo on this, not easy.
Besides seeing doctor, the second thing is to persuade myself to take the prescribed medicine. I am not afraid to eat medicine. I can swallow few big capsules at one time. But i just don’t have the habit to finish or take the medicine doctor prescribed. I don’t know why. It just like i purposely remind myself to forget. Doctor said, i need to finish the course of antibiotic. I did not do so in the first visit. But i left only 2 tablets, good enough. I did not really suck the sore throat medicine either because it tasted weird when i try few times. My tongue became tasteless after the sore throat sweet. Somehow, i deemed myself finish that course of medicine because i finished more than 70% of what the doctor gave me. Well done.
In my second visit, 3rd day after my first visit. My whole body aching, looks like i am going to have a light fever. I left office around 3pm to get some rest. After my rest, i feel better. So i decided not to take the medicines.
Few days later, all the problems just submerged again. Here come the 3rd visit. I told myself i need to finish my medicines, because i really have a hard time in the coughing and sore throat. The thing i really afraid of is the spraying thingy into my nose. I can take more than 15 minutes, holding the spray, hesitating whether to spray it into my nose. I just hate that water force into my nose feeling. What to do.... doctor said, i have to do it if i want to get well.... sigh.... Check out the medicines i got in the 3rd visit....

COWTOPUS
Me and John were walking in Pavillion on Sunday. We heard this announcement paging for Mr. Kau Toh Pes. I am not sure how to spell Mr. Kau’s name. But the name sounds rather weird. We look at each other with a funny expression when his name was repeated in the announcement. It was coincidence that John told me he read a comic, there was this character comes with a Cow head and an Octopus body. It sounds exactly Cow Topus, Cow plus Octopus. We laugh….
Here is how the Cow Topus looks like.. the 巨牛八尾... hehe

Grandma Passed Away
I was on compassion leave for two days.
My grandmother passed away on August 9, 2008. She was 93 year old. She has 5 sons and 3 daughters. In total, she has 101 of sons, daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 5 generations in her lifetime and I am on the third generation, grandchildren.
This is the first time I attended a formal grand funeral. Most of the relatives were there. It was a tiring ceremony.
I met my so called father (Mr. Lee) at the funeral. It has been 20 years since the last time I met him in Taiwan. I don’t know how to greed him and talk to him. I just node my head when I saw him. Feel rather uncomfortable as I have tried my best to avoid him. He did not come to talk us (me and my brother) as well. My second brother, Lester arrived at Tuesday night. He can’t recognised me. I walked to him and introduce myself. Lester went to Taiwan when he was 13 years old. I am only 10 years old at that time. I have not met him and talk to him for almost 20 years. I am really sad when I think about this. We did not get to talk as the ceremony is still on going. I just feel so strange with everything going on. I don’t talk to Mr. Lee because I choose not to and I don’t know what to talk to Lester but I hope we can sit down and talk the whole night. Later of the night, after the ceremony we get to talk a while. But it has been 20 years, too much thing has happened. I just felt Lester is trying to avoid us as well. He is my brother and yet I felt he is more like a stranger to me. I am really sad to have this feeling. He is going back to Taiwan on Thursday afternoon. I asked him to come to KL to pay a visit; we will give him a ride. He just finds much excuses of not going. I am sad….
Second day of the ceremony, in between the break, we exchange our number and email. I keep thinking, what is the purpose of exchanging those details. I have his email, and I have written to him before. He knew I was working in Beijing once. But why doesn’t he reply my mail. Exchanging details is just a formality. It is just an excuse for me to talk to him. I am sad….After exchanging those details, taken few photos, he excuses himself.
Every time I see him with his Taiwan sister (adopted sister) talking freely. I feel sad, very sad.
The ceremony still going on and on….. Standing for hours again, kneeling up and down, and walk under the extremely hot sun with only a pair of white socks on the leg.
After the ceremony, everyone is leaving. I don’t know when we will have chance to meet again. Probably in another big event. I don’t think wedding is a big event for Lester to travel to KL. I guess we will meet in another funeral. Whose funeral will this be?
When we were leaving, I was hesitating whether I should say goodbye to Mr. Lee, I was waiting my elder brother, Vincent to make the move. But all of us just don’t know where to start. We were standing aside for a while. At last Vincent makes the move, we shake his hands. This is the atmost I can do. I feel sad….. sad.

August 08, 2008 (08082008)
I am getting really excited about the opening ceremony of Olympic Games. I recall 4 years ago the Olympic opening ceremony in Athens was on August 13, 2004, Friday. I only get to watch 10 minutes of the ceremony and I need to start my journey for a diving trip in Tioman. I intend to finish watching the opening ceremony. If so, I would not able to reach my destination on time and will miss the ferry to Tioman Island.
This time of Olympic, I make I don’t have any appointments or activities. I make sure I stay in front of the TV and do the count down. Olympic in Beijing meant a lot for me. I have been staying in Beijing for 2.5 years. I know the place and culture and I feel closer to Beijing and hence this year Olympic.
Get to know that today is an announced public holiday in Beijing. Well deserved.
The first thing I am going to do after I am home today is to take out the Beijing Olympic mascot and put it somewhere obvious. (Pending attach photos).
Excited…..

Weird encounter in Gym
I have been working out in Fitness First for a year. Yesterday was the first day someone walks to me and talks to me.
I finished my RPM class (cycling class). Taking a 15 minutes break before I go for other class (Body Balance). Within these 15 minutes, I went to the weighing machine thinking to check my weight. When I am in front of the weighing machine, a uncle came to me and said. “Don’t you feel pain the way you clip your hair?” I gave him a weird looking expression, if he is able to read my face, I should be saying “Do I know you??? Your pick-up line sucks” Guess he did not catch what I am trying to tell him since he keep asking questions like, do you come here often, where do you work, where is your office, working as what, where do you stay, what kind of food you have for lunch around your office… I just tell him, nothing much to eat around my office, we just have food court in my office. He was surprise and said, then how should I ask you out for lunch…… Before he continues, I ask him what the time is, and act in a way like I am really rushing for another class; in fact I still have 10 minutes before the class start. If he is handsome, I might spend my 10 minutes talking to him. Too bad… UNCLE hehehe…..
