Fortune Day

Yesterday, my colleagues bought me a dinner at Sushi Zanmai, One Utama. Coincidentally, when the time we stepped in, they were celebrating Happy Hour (1st Year Anniversary, from 7pm-8pm). They provided some games and shout out to every customer who was participated. Frankly, it was nothing attractive to us, since we just came in for dinner, and we didn’t join any game arranged by them. However, they have lucky Sushi logo hidden from each of the Sushi plates. Among 8 plates we ate, we gained 3 lucky plates, which free us 3 RM20 vouchers. Yet, for each receipt more than RM100 and above, will get another RM10 voucher. Wow, it was a lucky day for us. We spent RM140, but we saved almost 50% of the dinner. Anyhow, we just used 2 RM20 vouchers for billing and kept another RM30 voucher for the next visit.

After a great dinner, as a repayment, I bought them some desserts at Haagen-dazs. At the same time, they were having 15th Anniversary, by providing 15% discount on a selected items.

Wasn’t it a fortune date for us?? Anyhow, Mag and Rachel, I wouldn’t count yesterday meal as my free dinner. Please buy me another luncheon as promised (Haha).

Goodbye, Wisdom Tooth

Today is my day for dental operation. Based on my last consultation, my teeth got 7 holes need to fill, and one wisdom tooth need to extract. I went for the dentist immediately after work (left company one hour earlier .. hehe). Surely, I had my dinner and took a bath before the operation had started. When the time I stepped in into to the clinic, I felt nervous since I have never extracted my tooth past 10 years ago. Lucky, I met a friendly dentist. He is so humors to release my tension, by explaining a simple process of the operation. Basically, the whole operation is not pain after the dentist injected narcotic on me, and my left hand of mouth numbs for 3 hours. Well, time for payment. The whole process of the operation charged me RM780 (RM530 for wisdom tooth extraction including X-Ray, RM300 for 7 holes filling, and RM50 for discount). For me, the price is still reasonable compare to other dental clinic. Now, The effect of narcotic is gone and started to feel pain. PAIN, PAIN, PAIN. (I hope i still retain my wisdom after extracted my wisdom tooth .. haha).

Still PAIN PAIN PAIN ~

期待的梦想

几天前,我在twitter问了一个问题,"Should I choose Dream or Opportunity?",梦想,还是机会呢?不同的人,给了我不同的答案.其实,心里早有了答案.只不过想知道朋友如何看待"梦想","机会"的观念而已.

看了这一篇短文,觉得非常的有意义,米雪儿被"不行"打败了.被打败的主要原因或许是她对梦想的热诚不够坚强吧!在我们的身旁,朋友的闲言闲语,往往会影响原本的决定.或许,我们不应该瞻前顾后,理性的为自己,是为"自己"做一个决定.

今天,我要告诉大家的是"我的梦想,就是我的机会",我只想紧紧的握住这一次的机会,达成梦想.





法克村

今天,无意中发现了一本一百巴仙马来西亚创作的网络杂志. 其实,我并还没有真正实实的看完整本电子书. 僅僅的翻了几页, 整本书的概念还满有创意. 五月份, 是第三期月份的测试版期. 既然我免费了下载三期<法克村>, 我想在此分享给我身边的朋友(也帮忙宣传一下). 或许,我们也应该支持马来西亚华文的创作.希望大家会喜欢.

Beach Camping at Teluk Segadas

"Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are". This is a famous kid song when I was in the childhood. That night was dark and windy. I laid down at the beach with camp mates. We were watching stars on the sky, and counting the uncountable stars. We waited for the appearance of meteor, and stared blankly. These are all things where we were rare to do in urban city. I don't know how long I have slept on the beach side. But, when I opened my eyes, I still see stars on top of me. It was so wonderful and it's just a night only.

** Travel mate and tent mate
This is my second camp trip after Jerangkang camp trip. However, it was my first camp trip at the beach. My camp side is located at Teluk Segadas, Pangkor Island. This trip consisted of 21 people including a kid. Teluk Segadas is a secluded beach where it needs to take 20 minutes jungle trekking before reach there. It is a permitted camp side by providing a toilet, kitchen, bathroom, and even a generator for lighting at night. The provided facilities need to be charged based on head count, and it costs RM15 per person. After across from the main land, we had a lunch nears jetty to provide better energy for the next trekking (van from jetty to beginning point jungle trekking was RM1 per head). For me, it is not so hard to walk into up-down hill. However, we need to carry foods, drinking water, tents, camp gears and other things that cause us exhausted (they bring pack of ais cube for beer, and I was one of a victim to carry. Can you imagine how heavy of the stuff??). It slowed down the team movement. However, nothing can stop us to continue our pace. It was such a “HOPE” to everyone when sound of sea waves was getting near. Everyone ran ahead to the beach and enjoyed the beautiful view of the secluded beach. Without delaying the time, we started to set up our own tent by looking on the proper floor. After completed the setup, it is the time to blast into the sea. We spent an hour to two in the sea together with some photo shooting moment as well. After a joyous swim in the sea, we started to set up camp fire to burn up the camping’s feel. At the same time, we did BBQ too

At the Dusk, we run toward into the sea again. This time, we did something dumb requested by Cheras Girls. We used stone to crack off the shell pasted on the boulder to get the oyster, and ate it on the spot after cleaned with the sea water. After a clean bath, some people started activities like gambling with using nuts as chips, plus beers and liquor. In fact, I did not join the group. I started to set my styrofoam carpet and enjoyed the nature moment in darkness. Sooner, few companies joined me as well. When the sea water was getting low tide, George took out his fishing gear and fishing alone farther away from the sea side. At the meantime, few of us followed him too, walked around and caught crabs. The night was passing fast, and it was a simple and peaceful night for me.
** Activities at night

Day2, after we had breakfast with some sandwiches. Again, we jumped into the sea before we packed off. We left the camp side around 12pm and returned to Lumut at 2pm. After that, we went to the "海味店" (dried seafood shop) near Lumut. Then, we drove to Pantai Gemis for a lunch, which recommended by George (Kedai Makanan Laut Ng Chin Boon (Ma Ga Ka)). The foods are quit nice, especially Oh-Ni (Yam), Mantis Prawn and Cucumber Crab. After a satisfaction lunch, we ended the trip with another new camping experience.


Thanks to Makan-King, You are the best!

告别, 南舅公!

今天一早, 妈妈就给我带 来一个坏消息. 南舅公因癌症过世了. 在蒙蒙胧胧的一杀那, 我也不知道该说些什么, 只好接受事实. 其实, 整天的心情并不是太好. 但是, 工作毕竟是工作, 我不可能把我的情绪搬到工作内.

妈妈一直埋怨为什么不早点去探望他, 总是喜欢说 “明天吧”. 其实在我们的人生, 真的太多明天了. 但是, 对有些人, 明天可能是他的最后一天.

晚上, 我与家人一起出席南舅公的葬礼. 也许有点沉闷, 舅舅们和干爹都提议到到附近的茶店喝一杯茶, 但是, 茶竟然变成酒. 哈哈!

可能酒精的关系, 我终于把签证的事实告诉了干爹和家人. 干爹非常的鼓励我而妈妈和哥哥并没有说太多. 但是, 他们并没有反对. 反而, 妈妈却说了一句话 “我不会住址你的前途!”. 其实, 我懂妈妈是不舍得的, 但是 ……. !! 妈妈的心, 只有妈妈懂 ~

人生, 到底有多少个明天, 不要等失去才来珍惜. 要好好的享受今天; 好好的珍惜今天. 谢谢, 干爹. 你的鼓励让我确定了我的决定!

对不起, 妈妈. 人生的路实在太长了. 或许, 你应该放手让我尝试走走吧!

安息吧! 南舅公, 无意中, 你解脱了痛苦的人身. 大家会想念你的!
