老点

2009-10-01T16:32:00.003+08:00

前阵子，遇到一对问路的男女，由于自信对那地方非常熟悉，毫不犹疑的就把方向告知，那对男女该是见我说的蛮有自信的，连声道谢，就开车离去了。过了好一刻，我才恍然大悟，我给的那个地点不对，他们可真倒霉，以为遇到了贵人，却被点了条黑路。

对此事有些过意不去，却没机会向他们道歉，实在糟糕。

被人老点的感觉不好受，老点人的感觉其实也不那么过瘾（除非是故意的吧）。

Noon in 1U

2009-08-14T11:06:00.006+08:00

I have spent a noon in 1U with my wife. We were there for G.I.Joe. Before the movie starts, went for a quick lunch. Since it is a quick lunch, as a chocolate lover, I decided to have our lunch at Theobroma Chocolate Lounge.

We ordered a hot and a cold chocolate drink, and 2 sandwiches. I enjoyed the chocolate drink very much, don't really know how to describe, I just love it.

About the movie, just another pop-corn movie, with lots of action and fun to watch.

Tribute to MJ

2009-07-01T11:05:00.003+08:00

For the past few days, besides busy with works and living my usual life. Part of my leisure time, I decided to follow up on MJ news. On saturday, went to 1U for Transformers : Revenge of the fallen(nothing much to review, basically it is like Transformers x 2times more explosive, more transformers, more fighting scene), passed by New Wing, and realized there is a small stage, and MJ post is on a white board. Went home and did some research, found out that there will be a Tribute to Michael Jackson event held on 28th June 2009, 7pm at 1U new wing.

After finished OT at Office, decided to drop by to pay tribute to the SUPERSTAR of my era, or maybe LEGEND of ALL TIME.

The event started around 7pm. First we had a minute of "Moment of Silence" to mourn MJ departure. Then, we got someone from Sony BMG to give speech, according to him, MJ has sold around 800,000 copies of record in Malaysia. I always expect a bigger number, but maybe that's already a really huge number for Malaysian.

Then, there was MJ video clip shown, "The One". According to the host, this is never been played in Malaysia. It is more or less about interview of artist, their impression about MJ, and shares some greatest moments of MJ.

Later, we got 3 impersonators on stage to perform MJ dance. The crowd is really high, and wild. I stayed around for 1 and half hour, I manged to leave a few words on the "Wall of Message" that is going to send to MJ's management office in US.

I miss the sing along session, because I got to get home since I have been out for one whole day(Actually I felt sorry to my wife, it is our 1st wedding anniversary, but I spent least time with her that day).

It is really a tragic that MJ leave in such a way. I wonder if he can pull off the concert, he might be able to bring back his glory day. However, that's not going to happen. We can only remember the King of Pop through his classic masterpiece.

Bye Bye MJ

2009-06-26T08:55:00.005+08:00

Early morning, I received a call from my close friend, he has brought me a stunning news, MJ died. Oh My God, one of my childhood idol, the "King of Pop", Michael Jackson is dead.

Wow, all the childhood memories are flashing in my head. I still remember how I loved his album "Bad". Th cassette has been played over and over until it was damaged. Somemore, I will never forget the MTV he has brought to us. Nevertheless, his unique "MoonWalk" is so amazing, and breath taking.

I have been following up his album until History. However, since then, he was surrounded with all kind of scandals and accuses, and it was quite sad that I have started to forget him, as one of my top idol, an leave Michael and memories in 90s era.

Not long ago, I was happy when news said that he will be on stage again, somemore, uncountable concert tickets sold out in hours. I still expecting to watch his live performance. I was quite exciting when news said there might be chances for him to re-visit Malaysia, and have another performance. I really want to see how he bring back his glory day.

It has been really a shocking news, that I would not want to believe that he has left us. Though I have kind of forget about him for a long time, in bottom of my heart, he will always be there, he has live in my life.

Michael, you are forever KING OF POP, and forever Legend !! R.I.P.

Summer BlockBuster is back

2009-05-10T08:31:00.007+08:00

Though I am busy taking care of my new born daughter (of course I am only the helper, my wife and the confinement lady are actually the one who take care of her) , I still manage to sneak out for some leisure time, because as usual May is where Summer BlockBuster starts, and as a blockbuster lover, how could I miss it.

2 weeks in a roll, I have watched Wolverine, and Star Trek. I enjoyed both movies, especially Star Trek, it is fun to watch how they remake (not really remake I guess, since I totally forget the origin Star Trek movies and series) a classic, and tell a story in a different way. Eventhough I am bored with time travel plot they used, I still got to admit that it is necessary for this movie, because it give you the excuse and reason, to start Start Trek in a new direction, and if the movie is selling good, I believe it gives more creativity and idea for the sequel. However, if there is a sequel, I really hope to see all the cast again, I think they have done quite an interesting job, and brought chemistry to the movie.

How about Wolverine, sad to say, the story is really predictable, so, it is all about action and action only. Though they tried to have two relationship lines for Wolverine, brotherhood and lover, I just don't really felt for it, guess it is just not good enough.

There will be more to come, Angels & Demons, Terminator Salvation, G.I. Joe, Transformer : Revenge of the Fallen and etc. I guess I will be storming movie theatre for 3 months.

芯妤满月

2009-05-08T08:39:00.004+08:00

二零零九年五月八日，女儿芯妤的大日子，满月了！

身为老爸的我，还挺忙得，除了要在家膜拜神明，又要回我老爸家祭拜先人，之后，又要到处去派红鸡蛋给一些朋友，答谢他们送来的礼物。

为人父母的，我想脑子里想来想去都是那几件事，就是希望自己的孩子，健健康康，快高长大。

实在不知道要如何给最好的东西给自己的女儿，但是我都希望能尽我所能，让她能在一个舒适的环境下成长，做一个能分辨是非的健健康康快活人，那已足够了.

另外，也顺便说声，我女儿的部落开张了！

芯妤的日与夜

New Blog for my Xin Yee

2009-05-04T12:17:00.003+08:00

I have paused my blogging for quite sometimes. I guess it should be time to pick up again. I just wonder how long does this blogging will last, because I have just created one blog for my lovely daugther, of course, I am still the one who going to update the blog, on my daughter's behalf. What am I going to post there? I guess mainly is some photo that I took for her, some magic moment that I have with her, and etc. However, I do hope you guys will drop by once in a while, to support my daugther blog.

However, it is not officially launch yet, because I have not started to upload the photo I took earlier. I will do it soon, and hopefully, Xin Yee's blog shall be ready by her full moon.

迷上网络游戏

2009-03-27T09:00:00.005+08:00

前几天在朋友的blog里留言，看了她的回应后，才发现有一段日子没更新自己的blog了，原因只有一个，我迷上网上游戏了。

最近，上网只有一个目的，就是为了玩网络游戏，迷成怎样？迷到连上班时间，一有空闲时，就跑到隐蔽的角落，接连隔壁茶档的无线宽频网络（不敢用公司的网络，怕被IT部门的同事逮到，：P），上网与一班志同道合的网迷厮杀。放工回家，一换回便装，就呆在电脑前，玩个不亦乐乎，好像忘了自己已是有家室的人，老婆也为此事唠叨了几回。

这样的日子希望能早些恢复正常，毕竟三十多岁还来迷上网络游戏好像不大对。

后记：大部分的网友年龄都介于十二至二十五，好像还没找到一个大过我的。

意外收获

2009-03-02T10:42:00.005+08:00

当初为何写blog?

应该是因为顺应潮流，人写我写吧！

然后呢?

断断续续，写下停下，成了习惯。常会看着久未更新的blog ，觉得不是味道，总想写些东西，留下当时的心情写照，或一些事务，让日后回味一番。

不过，搞笑的是大件事记载的不多，留下的反而是一些杂记。或者觉得大件事都烙印在脑海里了吧，不需再写下来了。

写了好几年，才区区百来篇，实在少的可怜，若问我有些怎样的心得，不多，只有一句，随心所欲。

那么，到底写blog得到了些什么？真的不清楚，不过，现在的我，写blog就像，闲来无事，走进了一所有现场演奏爵士乐的酒吧，一个人坐在吧台旁，叫了杯啤酒，一边喝着酒，一边听着爵士乐，环顾四周，看着酒吧内的人生百态般逍遥自在。

期待

2009-02-24T09:55:00.006+08:00

根据医生的推算，还有两个月，四月二十四日就是老婆的预产期，女儿出世的日子。这时的心情还好，毕竟还有两个月的等待，不过，在准备功夫上可不能偷懒，应买的都写在清单上了，希望能在这一，两个星期内搞定。

暂时比较头疼的，莫过于女儿的体重，从超音波扫描得知，女儿体重是比一般同周期的婴儿大，若顺产的话，老婆该会比较辛苦。另外，从朋友口中得知，一般上，若胎儿体重较大，医生会建议剖腹生产，这样的话，老婆肯定会更加辛苦，要挨痛，身上还要留疤。

不过，最重要的还是女儿能健健康康的出世，那么如何的疼痛，或留疤都已不是问题了。

真正开始感受到老生常谈的 “养儿一百岁，长（常）忧九十九”。

政治

2009-02-18T09:23:00.003+08:00

不懂政治，也不想去懂，可能是人云亦云吧，总觉得政治好黑暗，它就像欲望的深渊，名与利的追逐地，那伟大却单纯为人民谋福利的意念恐怕只是工具之一。

最近一连串的新闻，不多不少都让我心惊胆跳，说实在的，这些新闻真的好看过“珠光宝气”，但是非常可惜，结局肯定没有“珠光宝气”般和气收场。

其实，我真的孤陋寡闻，真想知道哪个国家的领袖是被歌颂的？还是家家有本难念的经，各有各的野心需要征服？

过山车

2009-02-17T11:06:00.003+08:00

过年前写了一篇关于牛年的文章后，就突然销声匿迹了一段日子，其实并非又三分钟热度，只是在生活中碰上了一些事故，心情起伏蛮大，一直提不起精来。

过年前后，被一件件突如其来的消息吓的魂不附体，庆幸最终一切都安好无恙，犹如坐过山车似的，最终还是安全到站。

年过的虽然与往年有些不一样，但还不赖，至少，朋友间的往来还不至于完全中断，贺年戏依然有，再加上身份的不同，能够派红包，感觉还挺爽的。

在这段日子，得到了很多很多，但也失去了一些，真有些感慨。

真的，真的，要珍惜，要惜福，不要带着遗憾离开。

后记：念友人 - 马东承先生。

牛年来了！？

2009-01-15T15:11:00.004+08:00

还有十天，就过年了。可惜，我至今都未感觉到新年的到来，觉得新年气氛很淡，除了电台力挺自己的贺年专辑外，街上都不觉有多少档口在卖年货。可能，马来西亚华人已开始把赴喜宴的习惯（姗姗来迟）也带过来了。

今年将是我第一次以一家之主的身份过年，感觉是挺爽的。家里所需的年货，家里的布置，都将由我两口子一手包办，应该会很忙碌吧。但是碍于公事繁忙，至今都还未真正筹备过年的东西，实在有些扫兴。

我看这周末，真的要使劲了！要不然，年货没有，年菜未准备，不要说过年，除夕团圆都不知道要如何过。

财神到

2009-01-07T15:01:00.006+08:00

今年的财神竟然那么早就到了，真的有些意外。去年中，公司的业绩还不错，大伙儿对年底花红都有一定的信心，但是由于经济海啸的影响，大家都担心公司在花红方面会有所调整，不能达到大伙的预期。

星期一中午，已收到消息，公司将在星期五分发花红，大家都在议论纷纷，希望管理层能大发慈悲，让员工开心过年。今天午饭过后，收到同事的短讯，她将到总部去领大伙儿的花红大信封。回到公司，发现信封已到达了，立即便将信封派给同事们，一解他们的疑惑。霎那间，整个办公室都充满了欢笑声，想必公司没让员工失望，花红该是不错吧。我也迫不及待的拆开自己的大信封，看看实际的数字。哇！实在不错，在这间公司拼了这么多年，第一次拿这样的花红，还不赖。顿时，年终的蜜月旅行有望了！

一阵喧哗之后，总算回归平静，脑袋也清晰了些。于是，对员工们说了几句老套的话，“既然公司善待了我们，我们在这一年也不该松懈，要更加的努力，要不然，年底肯定没那么丰收了，那落差就会很大，会很失望的！”

好的开始是成功的一半，真希望今年的好事，会陆续有来，我真的要加倍努力才行，要不然，哪有本事买奶粉钱呢?

86

2009-01-05T13:52:00.003+08:00

当你看到这个数目，你会想到什么？如果你是广东人的话，或者你会觉得这是一个好数目字，86 = “发咯！”。

对于一位身高才一点七的我来说，这绝对是一个恐怖数字，尤其是当这数字代表着我的体重！我的妈呀！之前，我最胖的时候是大约80公斤，花了好长一段时间才把体重降至75公斤左右（虽然略胖，但还能接受)，现在的我（还要是有背伤在身的我），要如何把这讨厌的86变成76呢？我看，在还未设定好今年的宏愿，这一项减肥大计肯定是势在必行，不能再拖了！

2009

2009-01-02T09:50:00.003+08:00

Happy NEW YEAR!!!! Finally, 2008 has left me. A big year for me, too much memories and greatest moments there, I really miss 2008.

I just read my previous post, which I had written in January 2008, it was like yesterday. Time really flying. Nevertheless, I just realized there is one thing I didn't get in 2008, and that's really something I wish to have, my house warming gift (Anyway, I never have a house warming party, so I guess I don't deserve any house warming gift)

2009, without having any fortune telling, or tarot card reading, I know there will be plenty more GOOD stuffs to come. Anyhow, in order to secure all these good stuffs, preparation work is still important. I believe in good luck, however I believe more in hard work.

To all my dear friend out there, I sincerely wishing you all the best in 2009, may all the good fortune be with you; happiness, wealthiness, healthiness and everything you name it, you have it.

As for the world, lets pray for the god, and hope IT will bless the world, will peace and happiness.

December - Movie

2008-12-30T16:31:00.020+08:00

I haven't been storming the cinema for quite sometimes. However, due to plenty of holidays fall in December, I went and watching a couple of movies, inclusive Yes Man and a three other movies.

Bolt is an animation movie from Walt Disney. It was about Bolt, a dog who has being deceiving as super dog in TV shows, learn how to be a real dog through the journey to get back to his owner, Penny with two buddies, Mittens the abandoned house cat and Rhino, TV obsessed hamster.

Ip Man, martial art movie, played by Donnie Yen, about the early life of Wing Chun master, Ip Man, also well knowned as master of Bruce Lee. I like the fighting scene; it was well designed, and well performed. Ip Man will always be one of the best all time martial art movie.

Bedtime Stories, another Disney production, starred by Adam Sandler, tells a story about how a life of a hotel maintenance staff changes when bedtimes stories are told to his niece and nephew. These stories told were somehow became true in the real life, in some strange way.

Ip Man is my 1st pick because it is really entertaining, besides the action, the story plot is also well written, thus it stands out compare to the rest.

姓名学

2008-12-24T11:30:00.004+08:00

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

2008-12-23T10:47:00.006+08:00

Last Friday, I decided to bring my colleagues to The Curve, treat them lunch. None of us know what to try, then 1 of my colleague suggested to try the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant, according to him, this restaurant is inspired by the 1994 film Forrest Gump.

The restaurant is well decorated, and of course the food on the menu looks amazing too. Furthermore, the waiter here seems quite friendly, they gave you a warm greeting, and sunshine smiling face. After spending sometimes with the menu, my colleagues decided to let me take the lead. So, without hesitate, we ordered a few dishes, and share the food among each other. I was quite excited when I heard they serve Dr. Pepper as beverage, I haven't try once since I was back from the States. Nevertheless, the waiter also offer us to have free refill for our drink, if we are able to answer a few questions related to the movie correctly.

Overall, this place is decent, and the food is tasty, too bad, my wife doesn't really enjoy western food, else I will bring her to this place, maybe for Christmas celebration.

Yes Man

2008-12-22T13:11:00.004+08:00

Watch this film on Sunday, it was quite funny and delightful to watch. Simple story, simple romance, and simple joke. However, I do like the message this film is trying to send, engage in life, get connected, say YES to opportunity.

It is quite true that most people would like to try various thing in their life, however, when the chances are there, they might find excuses not to participate in such an event. They prefer to have a more control, predicted and less risky life.

Sometimes, I just wonder if we let our life be a little bit unpredictable, a little bit adventurous, how will it end up? I guess it will be very lucky if we end up like Jim Carrey in Yes Man.

汤圆

2008-12-19T11:38:00.003+08:00

在大家都高喊Merry Christmas之际，我却在烦着如何搞定这星期日的冬至。由于家里有供奉神明，Caryn外婆一早已千叮万嘱，记得要搓汤圆，来庆冬至。

老爱吃甜食的我，却对汤圆没多大的兴趣，可能是因为老妈的厨艺有限，这么多年来，煮的汤圆都是最简单的那种，什么豆沙，黑芝麻，花生，红豆的馅统统不用想。

这一年的冬至，搓汤圆这玩意儿，该是我大展身手的时候了，希望能找一些食谱，看看有哪些汤圆较简单但却有新意的。

这时，想起老人家常说冬大过年，其实，是基于什么由来呢？不知有谁能告知我吗？

Nokia 5800

2008-12-18T11:37:00.006+08:00

I have been using my Sony Ericsson P900 for quite sometimes (4-5 years). I would really like to get a new phone. There are couple of models that has been short listed earlier, SE X1, HTC Diamond, iPhone3G. However, they are still not my cup of tea, SE X1 is rather expensive(3k le!), whereas HTC sounds new to me, and lastly Iphone3G is not officially available in Malaysia.

Through some browsing and research, I then realize Nokia has designed a new hand phone, that trying to complete with Iphone market, and it was called "Tube - the iPhone killer" at early stage, and now is knowed as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

You can call this "Love at First Sight". Before I go into detail study of this phone, I have already fall in love with it, I would really want to own it. However, I am not going into detail about this phone, since there are tonnes of article all over the net.

According to mobileworld, Nokia will launch 5800 in Pavillion on 9th January 2009. I am really looking forward to it. The only fallback for me to own this phone - if it is pricey.

语塞

2008-12-17T10:01:00.003+08:00

很多时候，遇见一些事情，或脑里有些想法，都很想立即写入blog里头，与人分享。但往往都有这样的难处，开了一篇新blog ，写了个题目，却没发把脑里的想法化作文字，久久不能下笔，挣扎了很久，不得不放弃，于是我的posts里头常有一些draft post，有题目，有一两段的文字，却不成文，也没法发表出来，这感觉其实不太好。有时，看回这一些被遗弃的题目，实在于心不忍，很想把它们完成，好让自己的感觉给抒发出来，但是，总是做不到，真不明白。有时候，这感觉就像恋爱里的一门，遇到对的人但时间不对；时间对了但总等不到对的人。

煮饭仔

2008-12-15T10:42:00.006+08:00

自从老婆大人怀孕后，以鲜少下厨了。这么多个月都吃外头的熟食，总觉得好不健康。上星期天心血来潮，提议由我来担任大厨，让老婆来当副手。

一大早，就翻了几本烹饪书籍，挑了一道香橙鸡块来煮，到了菜市集，买了三只鸡腿，一些番薯叶及佐料，就回家大闹厨房了。

首先，把鸡腿去骨，再根据书内的方法炮制腌料，一小时后，将肉块用油炸至金黄色，然后准备浆汁，用鲜橙与橙汁，再经黍粉，由稀转浓，最后把浆汁淋在鸡腿肉块上就行了。

之后，再将番薯叶过油清炒，三两下功夫，也就煮好了。

这时，再添上两碗白饭，整个煮饭仔过程，就大功告成了。
