附近没有图书馆

所以只好逛书店。。。

不清楚这里的书店文化
是否跟吉隆坡或台北大书店相似
可以很舒服或很自在的待久久
然后可以不用买书轻松离开，

但既然已经决定在零下17度，
雪花轻飘的冬天，费神的穿上冬装
踏在有厚厚的冰的大马路，小心翼翼的
冷风却一直吹，狼狈的样子是一定的，
所以我想还是花些时间在书店里面吧
2个小时就这样不知不觉过去了
听着Girl from Ipanema看书架上的书
想到Lulu,可能是Bossa Nova的关系吧，
坐下来翻翻2本书，都是看照片
一个旅游，一个画画历史，

过后站起来慢慢看biographies的书架，
看到一本很厚的John Lennon, 突然想起了Jun,
接下来看到Dali和Klimpt的历史还有作品记载，
就想起在伦敦某个角落曾和Ariel看到Dali作品拍照，
又联想到Felice给我看过有Klimpt作品的包包，
种种生活上人家说过的话就在耳边响起。。。

过后，我就回来了，中午2点钟有太阳却很冷，
充满灵感想看很多书，也很想跟大家分享，
安静的下午，只有我一个人（scott睡觉），
吃着圣诞节剩下的甜品/朱古力/饼干/果汁
看一本刚买的苏联历史文化书本，才$5加币
其实没有灵感的时候我应该不会看这种书，
现在有感觉了，还不赶快去看~！！

2010年的最後一小時， 你會突然想到誰？

Ashin Mayday's post brought an interesting question,
I realize I have not really thought about it,

It reminds me of the concept of meditation and transfer metta to a person, Somehow, believe it or not, the person will receive your metta,
They will feel the tranfer of merits from you to them,
It could well be only 10secs, but its a feeling of bliss they could feel.

I guess in the most basis of in our reality, we call it coincidence,
When we thought of someone at that instance our phone rang too,
When we hear a song which we want to share,
At that instance the person you're thinking about may call you too,
Many coincidences like these has occured before
I believe positive energy will always move around,
Thus, in the last hours of 2010, why dont we take a moment
To think of someone and transfer our love to them,
I guess they will be able to feel it somehow.

刚刚写了一篇信给家人，这种时候真的特别想念他们，
会不会是距离的原因? 感觉不能就这样回家很伤心。
希望家人朋友过得好好的，自己就会开心。

the view

scott is a happy man

his parents bought him this,

something that he had wanted for almost 3 years

it looks like a beautiful day view of the sea from a resort,
you can almost feel the sun pouring into the bedroom,
i know picture could have beautiful effect,
but this feels more than beautiful, it feels real and holidayish.
when we went to the mall on Boxing Day (day after Christmas),
there is a night view of the exact same frame, its amazing.
i think that should be the next goal, haha

careless mistakes will cost someone's else precious time

at work.
it is very very embarrassing and morally dejecting,
to have a document prepared and sent, to be resent back to me,
so i could make amendments and resend it again...

next thing you know, there are still mistakes within the documents!
its incredibly terrible how i can not be perfect in checking my work,
i tried and tried to check it numerous times, but there's always mistakes,
discovered by someone, makes me feel very lousy for being careless,
because of my carelessness, someone else had to do the checking,
which means they are doing my work, how can i accept that?
my carelessness means wasting someone's else precious time,
this is unforgivable.

but i am super stressed out trying to be perfect,
trying to attain something better,
trying so hard to climb up the ladder,
sometimes i try, but cant seem to enjoy life or work,
because i am always afraid of my mistakes,
its really a very heavy feeling almost feels like a punishment.
i have to be extra careful, extra attention and extra cautious,
but i also need to learn how to relax and let go, balance...

its 1230am now, i should really stop working and go to bed
and be ready for a 12pm discussion call tomorrow. its work again.

Christmas Day from 10am to 10pm (part 2)

not the best picture to post, but what the heck,

thats the NEW puppy for Scott from Santa,

it is a pug dog, i dont like them cos they dont look pretty,

but since this is not real i can carry it happily,

(will post a video when i have time, this dog BARKS!)

and holy smoly, i got 2 EXTRA turtles this year

its pretty incredible that they have not CLASH just yet

notice the 2 BABY TURTLES?

baby blue and baby pink with AQQ,

hula hoop competition before dinner
Christmas is incomplete without Turkey,
so here is the main event

Turkey, pickles, celery with cheese, olives, carrots,

brocolli, potatoes, gravy, fried yam

and after that super tired, cos they say eating Turkey

makes people tired, i wonder why???

Christmas Day from 10am to 10pm (part 1)

it was fantastic, almost surreal,

we step into the house and we smell breakfast,

walk into the living room the tree look grandeur

than ever and most beautiful, we put all the

presents we brought for the family & friends,

there were no more room and we have to stack it!

while Uncle and Aunty is making waffles & eggs for breakfast,

we went down to the basement eagerly

to open our Christmas stocking stuffers!

everyone has one stocking, and they stuff it with ALL KINDS

of mini gifts! from scented candles, travel journal, stuff toys,

chocalates, candies, cute little things and fill it up to the top!

after our brunch, it was past noon so Tyler was the appointed Santa,

he will pass out one gifts to everyone at the same time,

once everyone got one gift each, we will all open at the same time,

its really nice and its fun to take pictures of all the happy expressions

and the first gifts that we opened was our

Pyjamas Pants!!! mine is red with ribbon i love it so much!!!

it really does feel like we just woke up for Christmas, haha!

we spent almost an hour or so just to open every single present!

there was so much love in the room its such a peaceful loving day,

part 2 of the Christmas Day coming soon!

its Christmas today!

as far as i know, we didnt have a christmas tree in the house,

i went to bed at 12am on christmas eve,

woke up at 5am to pee and went back to bed,

but at 830am i still woke up to this surprise!!!

apparently, Scott said Santa was here and Santa brought presents for the kids!

i will open mine later at Scott's parents house,

we're leaving in 10mins for a big breakfast!!!

一听到冰莲（Ice Pond） 就是会让人觉得想哭

对不起又是宫，哈哈！其实我觉得看韩剧要哭的可能性还蛮大

因为这首歌+剧本大概哭了3次，第一次看的时候哭比较多啦。

整个剧最喜欢2首歌，一个凄凉一个希望，2个极端。

其实宫的故事包含古装又要时髦，极端所以适合双子座的我吧。

冰莲这首歌冰得不得了，铉乐乐器我觉得可以同时奏出凄凉/希望的，

小提琴是最适合不过了

原来还可以计算到韩剧片段的收视率哦

可能是念过媒体科系吧，所以就会注意到 宫 收视率程度

原来还可以计算到哪个镜头有最高收视率哦，

主打歌也因为这片段而大红哦。。。MBC因为这2分钟也赚回本了吧

“李信与采静江陵海边蜜月旅行”

我觉得字幕有点破坏气氛，如果单单这样看片段，

可能感受不到片段的魔术，

其实这是从他们不认识对方到包容对方的过程

（故事里面他们之前实在是每个情节都格格不入）

这就是主要转变点，怪不得收视率会是最高呢。

Princess Hours - Goong 宫

3，4 年前看的韩剧 -宫- 现在看还是很好看虽然感觉自己像小妹妹

但因为配乐真的很好，而且男女主角虽然不是大帅美女就更亲切更好看

喜欢他们服装有点over的格调，喜欢故事的结局让人很舒服，

一两天就可以看完了，真爽~

一小段路

每天走一小段路到这栋超市场买东西

可能就是整天最精彩的节目了，

现在星期日傍晚真有点无聊，

我就看了第3次韩剧 -宫-

感觉还不错因为冷就最好偷懒了

the lightbulb

since the lightbulb is mentioned twice by lulu and jun of JIMUISSS

i shall post a picture of the OTHER side of the lightbulb,

dont you think the way the drawing changes with time?

i dont think we can find this type of drawing anymore,

it feels very 80s/90s, wholesome american family style,

like those you see in the old cereal commercials on TV

if you know what i mean???

gift wrapping skill

i only know how to wrap SQUARE. period.

i attempted various designs, but none turns out great.

u know i want to wrap it in fancy shapes like

PYRAMID, ROCKET, RIBBONS, or even a simple T-shirt...

at first i was not in the mood, but once i started,

i want to wrap everything and anything

because the color boxes makes me so happy!

even though none of this is mine....

圣诞树灯饰

Scott's mom invited us over to help decorate the Christmas Tree

it is my first time, so i find it quite fascinating,

this year they did not get a real tree (awww...)

so this tree is already set up with electronic lightsi find out that christmas tree decoration is not just about pretty,

it is a very personalize style, it can be anything from handmade to purchase,

it definitely has some significant meaning too! for example

this was Scott's first Christmas, his parents specially got this for him

to light up this little house, we stick one of the light bulb into it

its one of my favorite christmas decor

i think this is the MOST IMPORTANT decor of all...

it is the first to go up to the tree

i suppose it can also be the last depending on individual

and these are fantasy world style decor,

there are too many but i picked out these 2

Unicorn

and a Mermaid princess playing harp

i think glass decor is one of my favorite,

because it catches the light and it sparkles

a pair of beautiful glass shoes (see how its in front of the lights)

and the reindeer, before the light he was normal,

with the light he sparkles and captures attention

not forgetting the religious meaning of the occassion

and the season of christmas, cold and snowy in most country

and tons of sizes, designs, colors of decorative balls everywhere!

and the final result!

there is a skirt at the bottom to cover it

and where presents will be place around for christmas day!

and i realize this is the FIRST picture of myself

from this trip, i think im really out of touch with camera,

i prbbly should send this picture home to my family soon

and post here for friends haha, that i am fine and my hair is unruly!

win badminton OR cook for 7 days

of course winning the badminton match against you ler!

my didi even say it should be in my blood

(apparently being malaysian makes you play badminton well,

being chinese makes you play ping pong well, hahaha)

but because of the high altitude we are in (5,000ft above sea level?)

its hard to breath cos by 2nd set, i feel dizzy, which i lost,

but the overall game i won, so scott you're cooking!!!!

but then again, we are going to have a rematch today,

we will see! look how they super fully utilize the courts?

the green overlaps the white and is also considered

the badminton line, while at the same time a basketball court,

volleyball court, soccer field etc

可能我已经36岁了

今天出去见到很多人，是不认识的生日派队
多人却感觉空虚，不知道有什么话题可以跟人家谈，
问题是出现在自己身上吧？
(met a lot people today at a birthday party, but i feel really empty, i couldnt find anything to talk to anyone, i guess the problem would be myself?)

我总觉得在这里，我一定要变成36岁，
因为参与你的世界，您的朋友已有自己的家庭，
那种安稳在打算小孩子上那个学校的话题，
(being here makes me feel like i must immediately become a 36 yr old, in your world, most of your friends already has a family and much older, for instance they would be talking about which school is their kids are going too)

我立刻感觉到原本属于我的10年，消失了
我本身还停留在无忧无虑希望跟朋友游玩聊通宵
(it feels like the 10 years that originally belongs to me has disappeared, i am still at a phase where i still want to hang out with my friends with not a care in the world until dawn)

我喜欢那种梦想，对未来打算，工作稳稳上升，
钱也要慢慢存到30多岁，然后才开始考虑买第一间屋子
种种的成长的过程，突然间如烟消失掉。。。是太快了吗？
(i love the idea of dreaming, planning for the future, and building my career, saving money for my first house and enjoy the journey until at least 30 yrs old before im required to become 30 yrs old, all this process of growing up feels like its gone in an instant...isnt this too soon?)

一种被剥夺的东西又拿不回来的空虚
我向前走了，就不能再回头，因此可能两头都不到岸，
(it feels something has been taken away from me and i couldnt get it back, i've move forward and i cant look back, because either destination, i cant have them both at the same time)

虽然我能够回去，但我真的能够像以往一样生活吗？
就算我留在这里，但是在这里我究竟属于哪里？
(even though i can go back home, but can i still live like normal? and if i stay here, do i really belong here?)

我想到需要立刻变成36岁，但没有机会慢慢去体会长大，
我无法描述但却真真实实体会着。。。
(if im required to become 36 yrs old today and did not get to enjoy the process of growing up, i couldnt describe it but im actually feeling like it is happening to me right now)

Mexican Food TACO

we actually had a mexican colleague joined our company,

to help our sales in Latin America cos he speaks spanish.

around the same week coincidentally, scott decides to make

TACO, this is like the biscuit/bread to carry the fillings

Scott bought a box of "hard taco kit" maybe they have a soft one

this is ground beef cook in a pot no need oil or anything

just cook and cook with slice chop garlic and onion

the below is a bit.. mind boggling!

technically i dont know what goes in first but i campur everything

the green bowl is fresh avocado with lime

the white cream is sour cream

the can thing is black olive, and tabasco sauce behind

the plate is full of orange cheddar cheese,

cut tomatoes, lettuces, and a small corner of

chinese green pickled chilly, i guess to replace

the spicy green jalapeno that we dont have.

i ate 4 TACO and its a full meal already, crazy.

but its really yummy! i think i can make this at home,

my mexican colleague told me "TEX MEX" is the best brand.

i guess can try to find in malaysia?

厕纸

再过几天就是12月15号，才不到1个月
我总共用了6卷厕纸，真的超级离谱！

Scott说：我可以用半年的厕纸，你应该3个月就用完了吧！
他继续说：我同事也观察到，每一次跟女朋友同居，最明显的就是厕纸用完得超级快！ (我想他是心痛厕纸很贵吧，下一次帮他买便宜货，不是不用心痛luuu)

可能是在马来西亚上班的时候，
每天都用‘公家’厕纸，
所以家里厕纸感觉没有这么快用完，

但在这里上班，下班，活动空间都在屋子里面，
加上天气超级冷，所以上厕所的次数很高

p.s. 我打算下个星期开始，用正来计算一天上厕所的次数

还钱吧

我希望我有勇气告诉你这些，
但是我一直都很宽容，明白你需要时间
所以还是很耐心的在等你还钱
我知道明白你很忙碌，
facebook status也一大堆，
欠人家的债也可能一大堆，
我可以接受你需要时间

因为你是朋友要我帮忙，
我就给你半价超好价钱，
而且帮你执行完任务之后，
还给你2个月时间慢慢还
因为你有重要的事情要办

别人要我帮忙，我不折扣
还有他们预先付钱，不然就50%，
工作结束立刻马上付完给我
专业又干净利落的客户，
这才值得我尊敬并以后考虑再合作

2个月后，你还跟我说，
给我你的银行的资料，
我现在可以过钱给你
我当然给了你啦
但是5个reminder, 而且1个月后，
我的银行还是没有你欠我的钱

平常我是不会干涉你的生活
因为我们的世界是不一样的
但是今天我觉得应该了解你的世界
可能你生意上有困境，
或是没有时间上网
所以没有办法立刻还钱
我还可以原谅。

但我看到的是你去旅行，你去购物，
而且日期还跟我的reminder一样，
你夸耀接到大型工作，纽约有人要聘请你等
在线上你是天使，你是无辜的，我越看越恶心
如果你回复说再1个月我才还你，我可以依旧等，
偶尔send 你reminder,因为这是我工作回来的钱，
我并不喜欢被人占便宜，
我更不喜欢生活跟所说的话不一致的人,

我希望你可以了解你这样做，
会造成我记仇还有心胸狭窄一点，
因为我完全有能力放你客户鸽子，
event, 他们自己来就好，反正你都没有给钱。
我没有义务要帮你吧。还是请你还钱吧，
不要让我变成那种会讨厌你的人，谢谢。

Beer Butt Chicken looking like he is taking a poop so pictures are disturbing

let me show the end result first,

looks like Kenny Rogers kan??

the way they cook it is quite interesting,

usually on a BBQ pit, but because the one at home

is covered with snow, so we had to use oven instead.

instead of a beer BOTTLE, we had to substitute with a CAN

you can buy this in the shopping mart and DIY

the can is too big, so scott had to crush it lower

chicken of the day, lets call him chicky.

so we stuff chicky's butt onto the beer can

this is how the bottom part look like

the container is to capture the oily fat as the oven heats the chicken

marinate the chicky with sauce, and put it in the oven at least 45mins

and every 15mins have to take the chicky out

and paint the sauce again and again until it is cooked.

it was a long process but it was worth it

the chicky looks funny here, like he is taking a poop!

偷窺

偷窺這個詞應該不是這樣用的吧???

因為這裡都沒有鐵門, 所以有人敲門我根本就不敢開門!!!!!

每天心驚膽戰過日子, 真的快老

scott:你可以小聲墊腳偷看誰在外面啊.

我:外面一定會聽到的,這裡太安靜了!!!

其實習慣慣馬來西亞提高警覺的精神

所以才會這樣.

原来云吞面可以DIY的

说真的，在人生经验中所吸取到的是

云吞面是一定要在大排挡才能买到的，

家里是做不多的

come on, 叉烧肉，云吞还有那个酱,

家里可以做到的meh????

可能是我不喜欢煮东西(只喜欢吃然后打扫)

所以就断定认为云吞面一定要特别厨艺的，

结果scott随便google一下，就做出了这一盘晚餐！

天，像得要命啊！！！

虽然那个酱真的差很远（咸的，不是甜的）

然后没有青菜所以改用brocolli,

但总算厉害了，叉烧都给他变出来!

看来要增肥的梦想是可以达到了吧

越来越讨厌煮东西炒饭变粥

最讨厌就是很起劲要煮东西的时候
煮出来的竟然是难看又难吃的东西

但大家常说，有心去煮饭一定可以煮好
我越想这个道理越生气，
坦白来说我真的很有心去做一顿饭了
为什么偏偏就是不能够吃下去

真的很生气很生气，本来炒饭还算okay,
现在算了，连炒饭那￥%#@绵绵的，
真的是饭已成粥了，粘粘的，颜色烂的

然后酱油辣椒茄汁拼命把味道盖掉
已经于事无补，要一边喝水一边吞
生气到要命，生气到我要跟煮东西绝交！！！！
