Few months ago, I was quite crazy with tart from Justart, it is located at Crystal Point in Bayan Lepas area. We know this shop through my brother-in-law, he recomended it as they got different varieties of tart, and lot of it are fruit tart. Surely, I like to try some new foods, so kept asking SL bought me some tarts to taste, we were there for about two to three times and we bought about 7-8 tarts each time, so we nearly tasted all the favour from the shop. Justart's tarts are just so nice to eat, as they are not too big, so we still can finish it without any difficulty, a tart was sold about RM1.90 each, well price is a bit higher, but their idea is creative. I especially like lemon favour and apple favour, egg are just at the bottom of tart and topping with different fruits and design. Besides, they also offer for party, birthday, wedding or full moon, this is another choice for a gift to your family or friends. We didn't visit it recently as we t...

那天，在Strait Quay的Popular书展买了本关于烘培的书，就用了里面的食谱做了这大理石磅蛋糕。第一次做的时侯，用了较大的烤模，味道还不错但形状却扁了，所以去买了较小的烤模再做一次，这一次的结果不错，有模有样有味道，还蛮自豪的，老公也说好吃。现在，我发现用蛋白霜来烤蛋糕能够让蛋糕变得比较松软，我喜欢这样口味的蛋糕。 食谱简介 ====== 份量：1个（8cm x 12cm x 6cm烤模） 材料 === A. 蛋黄面糊  - 无盐奶油 100g （我用了普通奶油，其实味道也还可以）  - 细砂糖 20g  - 蛋黄2个  - 低筋面粉 100g  - 无糖可可粉 10g B. 蛋白霜  - 蛋白2个（不可沾到蛋黄、水份及油脂）  - 柠檬汁 1/2 teaspoon  - 细砂糖 40g 做法 === A 处理蛋黄面糊 1 将回温的奶油切小块，用打蛋器打至乳霜状。 2 加入细砂糖打发至泛白蓬松状态，直到打蛋器拿起尾段有角状。 3 打散的蛋黄分4~5次加入奶油中，并确定蛋黄每次都已经混合均匀。 4 将面粉分两次过筛加入，以切拌方式搅拌至没有粉粒，直至面糊呈现光泽。 B 处理蛋白霜 5 用打蛋器将蛋白打至有泡沫，然后分两次将柠檬汁和细砂糖加入蛋白液，打成尾段挺立的蛋白霜。 C 蛋黄面糊和蛋白霜处理好之后 6 将1/3的蛋白霜加入蛋黄面糊中，反转与画圈圈的方式搅拌均匀。 7 将拌匀的面糊加入剩余的蛋白霜里，混合均匀。 8 用一半的面糊在干净的钢盆与过筛的可可粉搅拌均匀。 9 原味面糊与巧克力面糊交叉放入烤莫，并以汤匙画圈圈呈现黑白交错。 10 将面糊往两边刮，令中间呈凹陷。 11 放入预热至160C的烤炉烘烤50分钟。 12 蛋糕出炉后，将它倒放在铁网架上放凉，便面罩上一层保鲜膜预防干躁。 13 完全凉透后，即可备用。 我做的大理石帮蛋糕，好好吃哦 ^_^

Penang Bridge is closed each year for public to have marathon there, it was happened on 20 November this year, so coincident it was 20.11.2011. SL and I were undecisive to join or not for the marathon actually, but we finally went for fun run finally that day, surely it was fun, our main purpose to join marathon this year was to take good picture on the bridge since this is the only chance that you can stop on the bridge and take photos from any angle that you want, of course it's the best chance for having some nice photo sessions. Early morning, SL had his weapons (DSLR and flash) well prepared for his photos shooting, and we joined the fun run which only run quarter of the bridge from Eastin hotel and ended at Queensbay mall. Well, we progressed slow on bridge as SL spent quite some time there for capturing some good photos, I am also enjoyed the view of Penang Bridge. At the starting of the bridge, there we saw the construction site of the light collection, it wil...

We went to Daorae for dinner celebrated our wedding anniversary end of September this year and I only have time to write this down, it was happened about three months ago. Talking about Korea food, I wasn't very fancy about it two years ago, until we had quite a lot of Korea food experience in US when our relocation, I kind of crazy with their taufu shop, I like taste of soft taufu in spicy soup, it tastes nice. My first Korea food experience in US was in Nak Won at Watson Road in Beaverton, therefore I like there a lot. After back to Malaysia, I still sometime thinking for eating Korea food, but it is consider expensive in Malaysia, that you at least need to spend more than RM50 for two people to enjoy something nice here, while we only needed less than USD30 for good one in US. Therefore, we only can make it occasionally visit to Korea restaurant in Malaysia, so I choose to have once during our anniversary, so we went to Daorae at Tanjung Tokong. Korea foo...

27th of December, Tuesday, it should be a working day after long weekend, but SL and I applied today as our extra off day, now I know what's called relax and enjoy, it is really an excellent day, well.. We didn't plan to go any place but it's still a good day. On the morning, we went to Wang Chao at Gurney for our breakfast, we used a coupon that we bought from ezivoucher last month for buffet Dim Sum, we almost could eat everything in the shop with the coupon that we bought, except abalone porridge, we had our stomach pretty full with Dim Sam. After that, we back home and enjoy our off day, by laying on sofa and watching NBA from TV, wow, we miss NBA so long, the associate and player held such a long session of negotiation on their benefit and salary, finally they had a conclusion before Christmas and we could watch it now. what will I do for the rest of day? I think I still want to relax my life, maybe swim at afternoon or do some reading, and writing blog, I just ...

There will be a property launch tomorrow, Sierra Residences, a condo from GSD which located somewhere around Sungai Ara and Relau area. According to it's price offered, this is a property will be affordable by more middle earning family, if we compare it with Penang current property price. Sierra Residences is starting from RM280k onward. Due to its affordable price, there are a lot of people queue in front of GSD sale office starting from many nights ago, as far as I know there was people quese on Tuesday morning. Sice we live near to the sale office, so we walked to that area tonight to vitness the crowd, I think there was about hunderd plus people sitting there already. After seeing this situation, we felt lucky that we have had our own house, because we can't be that type of queueing people, for waiting so many nights to buy something, even is a property, I think we only would queue when we need to register our kid (if we have one) to a school. Back to five years ago...

Recently, we like to cook fish during our dinner and I normally am the finisher for the fish, I will clean up all remaining meat from fish's body until there was only bone left. Everytime when I did my clean up job, I felt guilty in my heart for eating them to that stage, so I always had this conversation with the fish as below. Me: Oh poor fish, I am sorry for eating you but you are too delicious. In this life, you are fish and we eat you; next life then, you become human and SL becomes fish and you eat him, ok? SL: Then, what you will be in next life? Me: Me? oo, I will be a fisherman, catch fish (you) for him to eat :P SL: =.="

我有位朋友跟我这土豹子分享，她从开始工作的第二年起，就已经开始投资房屋了，而她的朋友还在读大学时，就懂得炒股票了，我也有另一些朋友，在工作了几年后，也创了业，他们都比我年轻，但他们的钱却已经在增值了，我这只能说是后生可畏吧。梁的弟弟也一样，工作还没一年，就开始想新的出路了，原来，年轻的一代比我们还要懂得如何冒险，去实现提早退休的志愿。 我那朋友说，我们应该懂得让自己辛苦赚来的钱增值，朝 financial freedom 的方向走，让自己真的有一天拥有足够的 passive income，那时就是可以退休的时候了，之后就能想想一些自己有兴趣的事做，毕竟打工仔不可能永远的保住他的那个饭碗，当公司要裁员时，你能避得了这一波，但下一波未必不会波及到你。我进了这间公司之后，可真的是听了好多这样的消息。 而我呢？却一直不敢将自己的钱放在那种有风险的地方，到现在还是害怕自己投资的失误而血本无归，即使有朋友的建议和鼓励，还是半信半疑着自己的运气，就只想安守着自己的岗位，无风无浪的过去。只是，这样好吗？我也不知道。 只是，我总觉得在我出生年之后的人，好像比我这个年代的人还要懂得如何看时机，他们好像知道要什么时候应该放手一搏，他们是懂得抛开束缚的那一群，往自己要的明天奔跑。

Nowaday, there are a lot of different online coupon sold, they always sell at price cheaper than we supposed to pay. That day, I searched for good deal online and found this coupon from everyday.com.my, it is an offer from Paradise Restaurant, only at RM24.90 for two people, and it comes with teppanyaki chicken, salmon teriyaki, fried vegetable, miso soup, rice and dessert. Well, I think it is worth the price for two people (at least much better than Agua :P), so I bought it. Thereafter, SL and I decided to visit the restaurant on last weekend to use the coupon and taste the dishes from Paradise Restaurant. Once we seated at our table, we looked around restaurant's environment, it made me felt like we were in a forest, they have some tree (I think it is fake) decorated the floor and some fresh-look fruits are hanging on tree's branches, it looks new to us. Since our coupon didn't include drink so we ordered Japanes green tea and Taiwan green tea (as we wante...

最近，我俩都很忙，为了赶工作的进度，每天都工作到很迟。其实，我俩最向往的工作时段是八点至六点，但这似乎对我们而言是天方夜谭。 或许看到我每天多加班，梁感到心疼吧，最近他时常就叫我辞职，说他养我。哇，好难得听到他这么由衷的说要养我，其实还真的是有点感动的，女人能够找到这么个不嫌弃你而愿意养你的人，妇复何求？我妈工作这么幸苦了这么年，爸都没养过她，还要我妈倒贴来养他和孩子，我想我比我妈还幸福吧。 听到梁要养我，我很开心，但我知道我将不会喜欢没做工的日子的，一定是很闲，又没有尊严的生活，没有收入等于要依赖别人养我，那时候我应该是时常忍气吞声吧，应该是很难受的，我不喜欢那样的感觉。 梁说，那就换一份工吧。换工？我想啊，但换什么工呢？我就茫无头绪了。梁说，换份我喜欢又想做的工。哈哈，我喜欢做的事很多啊，就是不知道可以全做吗？刚大学毕业的时候，我想当作家，半年没真正的找工作，就在家里写故事，还差点真的想要出书呢，但后来又停了，我想是我的雨季过了吧。 如果真的要换工，我真的还不晓得我要做什么呢。继续现在的工也还可以吧，看似还稳定（虽常听到不稳定的消息），但也要考虑一下自己以后的去向吧，总不该就这样浑浑噩噩的过日子，没天没地的做到老吧。 无论如何，还是谢谢梁有要养我的决心 ^_^

Recently, I quite enjoy on using Groupon, sometime I found deal are worth, but I got bought once which was really not worth to me. That day, I spent around RM45 to buy a coupon from Agua at Strait Quay, which mentioned 4 Tapas course (which I didn't know what Tapas meant) for 2 people. Since they claimed it was for two people and admin also mentioned it was big enough for two, so I bought it because Mediterranean was new to me. Then I reserved a date and went to "enjoy" their food, and finally I was only getting a plate of appertizer like dishes, there seem a lot of food in the plate, however most of them were just tasted like saurce to me, I think only Omellete, Squid ring and bread suited to my appertize, the other items tasted bitter and weird to me and SL. We finished the plate very hardly and still thinking whether that's all for RM45, after waiting some while and we didn't see the main dish served, then we realised that we were paid RM45 for a plate of...

After lot of recomendation of friends and review, I finally asked SL went with me to watch this movie- "You Are the Apple Of My Eye"(那些年，我们一起追过的女孩), it is a Taiwanese movie, talking about puppy love of two people since high school to university, until they were grown. However, their relationship never started, it was just at the boundary of friend and lover, they know the other one love them but nobody wanted to request a start for their relationship, thereafter they ended just as good friend and the girl married to another guy. Well, I still prefer story of "Secret" (不能说的秘密) than "You Are the Apple Of My Eye", but "Apple" recalled a lot of my memory in high school. It was sad that they finally were not together, but how many of this kind relationship can last until you grown up? That was puppy love, you thought you love someone at that age, but it doesn't mean that love can last forever or you will together with her, because we were not ...

忙- 朋友说，“有改变的忙是充实，没改变的忙是浪费”，我想现在的我是浪费时间。 漫漫的开始，我感觉非常忙了，但我却没看到什么改变，忙碌的生活开始让讨厌这样的生活，好想逃。 问问身边的人，也有人跟我有同感，说有股冲动的感觉，想要放下一切、离开，让自己休息一阵子的点，再寻找下一个目标。原来，不只是我有这股冲动。 过着这样忙碌而没转变的生活，好害怕，怕自己会就这样的趴在电脑前，而消失。看看梁，也是没日没夜地对着电脑，他看电脑的时间比看我还要的多（我也是如此），何谓生活？我们都已经忘了。 我在想，那股冲动会何时收缩？

Last Friday, hubby and I went to Queensbay Mall watched movie "In Time", we chose to watch this because we see a lot people review in forum about this movie, it seem like a good movie. Well, I didn't watch any trailer or story highlight but I trust those reviewers. A good movie can't be judged badly if it is really nice. There wasn't much show time left and we chose 9:50pm show, the movie was show for a few weeks back but there were still a lot of audiences, the cinema is almost full. The movie is about time is life, people at that era have changed and they only can live until 25 years old, then their life will countdown for a year before they die. Then, they need to work and earn more time, time has became a currency, everything in life are exchange with your time, a cup of coffee, bus ticket and everything. If you are born from a family with lot of time, then you can live longer or even forever, but if you were born in a family without time, you might need...

That day, a friend told me that her target is to retire at 35 years old, then I said it will be soon. And she said this is only when the best case, everyone has their own target, target doesn't mean your target sure will come true then. Then she asked me about my target. My target? I suddenly felt blank, then I found myself in lost, I am a targetless Person :( I am such unplanned, why did I never set a target myself? After back to home, I asked SL if he has any target in future, he was as blank as me. He said his first target after graduated is to find a girlfriend and get married, he archived it. Then, his target is to own a home and we got it now. After this two target archived, he felt happy and set not target, he is targetless now as well. Thereafter, I asked him wether we should set ourselves a target? Yes, I think life without target is meaningless, but we still couldn't find our target for now, I think that we should spend some time on our next target. Now, I am ...

那天，梁和我终于有机会到大树下去吃晚餐，其实我在槟城五年了，大树下的名字是常听，只是一直不知道在哪里，只知道在Jetty附近还有在树下，但不知道是在Jetty的哪里和在哪一棵树下。 终于，我们在网上找了些头绪，又在jetty绕了一圈，原来大树下还真的是在大树下，他的入口就被一个大树挡着，整间店就被树荫遮盖着，如果你从姓氏桥的那一边往店的方向看，你还真的是看见他是在大树下。 听说大树下出名海鲜，他们的海鲜是又好吃、有划算的，所以我们三道菜都点了海鲜，有点夸张吧，没有蔬菜，只是肉，那天我们真的是高胆固醇了。三道菜，我们点了“赖脲”虾（自取名字）、贝类和螃蟹。 自从那回在公巴好友吃了螃蟹，我就很想再吃螃蟹，所以我们叫了一人一只螃蟹，结果来了一大盘，两只超大只的螃蟹，令我看傻了眼。大树下的螃蟹真的是货真价实，好多的肉，让我吃得很满足。 由于没预料螃蟹是这么的大只，我们边吃还边忐忑不安，担心这一餐饭是否会超出预算，结果吃了100零吉，还好我们带够了钱，其实一百零吉，吃这三样菜还算可以吧，尤其是那两只大螃蟹。 整体来说，大树下的食物还可以，只是我觉得咸了点，或许我比较喜爱清淡口味，最回味的是它的螃蟹，够大只、够多肉，贝类也还蛮大的，只是“赖脲”虾没有拔壳的菜式，所以吃起来有点麻烦。但因为它的螃蟹，我还是给一个赞 :-) 吃完之后，我们还不断说那两只螃蟹，他们为我们带了不少笑话和回忆，这还是我生平第一次吃这么大只多肉的螃蟹。 大树下 “赖脲”虾 贝类 大螃蟹

那天，老公和我到巴杀买菜，买了两条白鲳之后，看见旁边的鱼满不错的，便问老板是什么鱼，原来是石斑鱼（我们之前其实不知石斑鱼长得怎样），就买了一条。 上周末蒸了石斑鱼，味道不错，今天用了同一种煮法蒸白鲳，觉得石斑比白鲳好吃，就想下次再买石斑来吃，但我却忘记了石斑的模样，便问老公。 Me: 你还记得那天我们买的石斑的样子吗？ Hubby: 当然。 Me: 那就好，下次你去认鱼。 话还没说完，老公接着说：在白鲳的旁边。 Me: =.=" 其实，老工认得石斑的样子，他只是在跟我开玩笑。

最近，我又开始觉得痫了，讨厌一成不变，开始怀念去年了，当时的工作虽然艰辛难做，但令我觉得还有点意义，也是那段时间，让我学了好多的东西。而现在，唉。。。 在[飞雪连天射白鹿，笑书神侠倚碧鸳]里，我最爱郭靖（所以我嫁给了像郭靖一样傻傻的梁）。但是，我最向往成为的人，却是被誉为东邪的桃花岛岛主黄药师，性格上我觉得我跟他有点的像，乖谬不拘、冷眼看世、总爱凭感觉走。然而，在学术、头脑与知识方面，我却远远不如他，但又好想能像他那样，上至天文，下至地理、能够谈古、也能论今、奇门遁甲、五行八卦、诗词歌赋、医学命理、玲玲种种，无一不通。 有时候，我很怀疑，人真的能够像黄药师那么的神吗？但是，我还是希望能够像他那样懂很多，所以当我停留在某个阶段太久的时候，我会很郁闷，觉得生活空虚，活得不开心。 前阵子，我还突发奇想的想part time学中医，寻寻觅觅段时间之后，才发现今年头的招生是最后一届，令我感到遗憾与错过，总觉得生不逢时似的。 我是否对自己的要求太高了？难道有求知欲是不好的吗？最近一成不变的生活着，让我感到好郁闷哦，觉得自己就像一台机器一样，重复着某些模式，即使脑袋僵硬了也无所谓似的。人原来是这样的生活着的，天下能有多少个黄药师？或许就只在[射雕英雄传]里能找到吧。

Today, my hubby shared me a joke that he faced this morning, this is the joke of the day for me. This morning, we got a meeting and he called in from another building. When the meeting past 20 minutes, but hubby still didn't hear anything through phone, then he just voiced up. Hubby: Hello, is anyone there? XX (the presenter over the bridge): Yes, I am XX. (my hubby still didn't hear the name, but at least he know someone answered him). Hubby: Can you hear anything over the bridge? XX: No, except your voice. Hubby: Yes, me too, I can't hear any except you. Where are you now? (my hubby still didn't know XX was presenter, he thought XX was someone from the bridge.) XX: Training Room 1. Hubby: TR1? I thought that is where the presentation held? (he was still blur blur) XX: =.=" Yes, I am presenting just now. Are you from TR1? Hubby: =.=" No, I am not from TR1. (if I am there, why you didn't hear me) Until then, hubby only know that the p...

Today is Deepavali, another public holiday for us, after started working for so mony year, I think everyone is counting down for their next public holiday, I am one of them and I like to enjoy my free off day. This public holiday, well was unhappy at the begining of the day, we both at bad mood with some quarrel, anyways still ending with happy and ice break. I did baking at afternoon, which I enjoyed the most of today, my today recipe is dark chocolate cake, it took me about an hour to finish, result is nice and tasty cake, it really tasted nice :-) another success baking. My dark chocolate cake.

昨天才到槟城国家公园越野，今天全身酸痛，幸好前星期为今天请了天假，得以在家里休养休养，可算是忙里偷闲，让自己在繁忙的工程中寻找闲时。 虽然没做什么事，一天也就这么快的过了，好享受这样的时间哦，看看书、弹弹琴、逛逛街、聊聊天、看看戏，也想想未来，悠闲又写意，也能让自己充充电。 以后，当想不开时，应该请个假，放松自己。

中医，西医，你会选那一种医疗法？好比说，如果你月经不调，你会使用西药来让它准时来临，还是服食中药来调养身子。你会不相信中药吗？ 其实，我认为中西各有各的好，如果是伤风感冒，或是病入膏肓时，我是会选择西医，因为它可以快速的解决问题。而中医呢？那是需要漫长一段时间的调养，它是为了日后的健康铺路。 比如说，月经不调，如果使用西药，只要服食之后，它能让你一星期内与大姨妈见面，而食用中药，它就慢慢的调养你的身子，这要等身子好了，它才会正常，如果你问你的中医师，要调养多久呢？他也只能说，调养好了就来。 然而，在这种情形下，我会选择等，我个人认为，虽然西药有一星期的保证，但我不知道这样的逼血是否会伤害身子，使用荷尔蒙来调节是否会让我身体的荷尔蒙错乱。反之，中药的调养是让身体复建，还能够养身，虽然慢，但对身体无害。 对我而言，我满相信食疗和药膳的，吃什么就养出怎样的身，好的身子不是一朝一夕就出来的，我宁愿从食物摄取营养，多过从药丸里追求。 总的说，中医是用来预防疾病，在病因来找你之前，它先为你抵挡；而西医却是在你需要迅速效果时，能够为你快速解决烦恼，各有各的长出。

That day, I uploaded my recent photo onto facebook, then a friend MSNed me... Friend: Nice picture from facebook. Me: Thanks :) Friend: wont know u have baby de, figures still so slim and nice... Me: =.=" I still don't have baby yet Friend: ... (I think I gain weight already, else my friend won't say like that, I need to start control my diet now.)

That day, a friend told me that her company is hiring now and the post is really attractive, which I told her it is my ultimate goal of my life in my career path which related to my Master degree, the post is one that I am longing for but still couldn't reach until now. Then she encouraged me to apply and told me that they really need people right now, and I know this is my ultimate goal but I felt hesitate, I am actually not sure to move, yes I am that type of undecisive person. I am a bit reluctant of change now, well I always complain about my job but I think I am still considered happy with it, or perhaps I am lazy to move? Perhaps, I am old now or mature? Therefore, career in my mind stand with another meaning. Actually, working at some area isn't just looking for something that pay you very high (of course not too low as well :P), but also need to look at your environment and working partners, of course balance life and work satisfaction, and comes along with a lot ...

I have cut short my hair recently, and there are a lot of friends curious and surprise on my hair style shift. Well, I had my previous hair cut for quite some time, it was about three years and I think it's time to change now. While I like swimming currently and my previous hairstyle was shoulder length, which I felt hard to slip in my hair into swimming cap, therefore I decided to cut to as short as I can. After thinking for a few weeks, I finally made it and I have my short hair with me for two weeks, now I found convenient with this hairstyle and I can easily slip my hair into swimming cap without have some of them escape out. Another benefit from short hair is I only need a little shampoo to wash my hair, it is about a third of my previous shampoo usage, that means I can save a third of cost on buying new shampoo, it isn't bad, right? Though this hair style makes me look like a boy, I still like it as cost saving, swimming friendly and low maintainance need.

That day, after reading my blog... Hubby: Even we don'y have house loan to pay, I also won't feed you. Me: =.=" Hubby: You still need to work, else you are useless. Me: Sure, I told joke in my blog, I sure will die if I wait you to feed me. (For sure, I will die. Even though I am working now, he also that temper to me and I can fight back, if I don't work, I sure will die because taking too much of his hot temper and cannot fight back. Nevertheless, why don't so speak something nice to make me happy, instead of broke my daydreaming?)

某天，我开了齐豫的CD来听，突然。。。 梁：她是不是整首歌都用假音来唱？ 我：不知道，是很高音，但怎么可能有人所有的歌都唱假音。 梁：哦，我懂了。。。 我：什么？ 梁：这是天籁之音。 我：=.=" （梁就是会时不时地爆出这样的冷笑，齐豫还真的是下星期有场在云顶举行的演唱会，叫天籁之音，可惜我无法出席。）

现在，又回到了那种赶时间的日子了，又开始觉得工作令我好郁闷，好讨厌这样的日子，又要开始不断重复的做着一件事了，我又要疯了。 好想问梁，“梁，你愿意养我吗？”哈哈，他一定会这样说，“我们还有房子要供呢，我没有闲钱养你。” 所以，没办法了，只好硬着头皮这样继续工作下去。有时候，由于一起重复着同一样程序，开始觉得自己也只不过是机械人，觉得生活好没有意义哦。 如果，还没结婚的话，我会看看哪间大学有提供博士奖学金，然后就往那儿去了，只是一个人的日子好孤单哦，就像当年在英国一样。还是有人陪的好，虽然会觉得在做着没有意义的事情，但有梁在身边，日子也过得快乐一点（如果它没常对我发脾气）。 最近，其实有想过要做某些事，但是又害怕实行，看来我这一辈子还真的是这样浑浑噩噩的过了。 看着两个理想派的妹妹，她们都不计世俗的眼光，勇敢的为自己的理想牺牲贡献，而我却为了稳定的将来放弃喜欢的事，觉得自己太过现实了，为什么我就无法像她们一样的不理智呢？ 也幸好她们有我妈的维护，不然怎么可能有人能这么的轻易而不愁三餐的追求理想，可惜我无法做到撇开凡尘，所以就只好做个没有理想的人了。至少，我也圆过一个梦，又如何能够奢望圆所有的梦呢？ 做凡人，浑浑噩噩的过日子，世间还有千千万万个人和我一样吧，只是我想我是时候应该想想要如何把它变得充实吧，该做什么好的？

That night when we know Steve Jobs past, SL read Steve's story from Wikipedia, then... Me: Do you think your name will be written on Wikipedia one day later? Hubby: If you want, I can create it myself. Me: Of course not, maybe I can write one for you later. How about like this? Then I created him a story: Hubby born on XXXX and marry with me at year XXXX, he worked at company I for many years, then on year XXXX, he decided to start his own career to create his own brand and name it "Orange". After few battleship years on his own brand, he found that he prefer just works as an engineer, then he ended his company "Orange" and worked at company A for the rest of his life. Me: hahahaha, do you think it suit you? Hubby: =.=" (hahaha... the story was created for fun, of course I hope hubby can have his own business successfully, but I think it can only see in imagination, I think he won't even change his job for the rest of his life.)

This morning when we went for breakfast, Agnes told us Steve Jobs has past away, well I don't know him well except as CEO of Apple, ok I got an Apple ipad and it was nice, just I am not to fancy with Apple products, then I only felt sorry for him. At evening, SL told me again that Steve Jobs was gone, yes I heard it this morning but death is just happening in our life we can escape it at last, that's all I felt. But then SL told me how brilliant he was and his idea on iphone and ipad, it really was an amazing idea, I felt that is a lost with his leaving. Then I logged in to my facebook, the first login of the day after long working day, and I saw almost all facebook comments from my friends are about this great man, Steve Jobs, his quote and condolence to him, somehow I felt sad, he is such a great man and touch so many people heart, but he finally leave the world. After suffering with cancer so many years, he finally leave, and leaving with lot of people crying for him a...

I don't know why, but my husband has very high expectatoion on "Wan Tan Mee", he always would find unsatisfy on some "wan tan mee" taste, he said that only a stall in Bayan Lepas can satisfy his requirement, well to me their almost the same, but I prefer not to have fried dumpling. To SL, he even tastes noodle's sauce. Seeing him tasted "wan tan mee" so "professional", so I found a shop with famous noodle in Penang for him, it is Yi Garden on Macalister Road, they also famous with "fried osyter". On a weekend, we visited Yi Garden and ordered "wan tan mee" and fried oyster for us, fried osyter was RM8.50 a plate, but I didn't find it is extremely nice as there wasn't a lot of oysters in the plate but we got a lot of fried egg, well I agree their egg was well fried, just it wasn't what we expected with the good advertistment said. Next is our "wan tan mee" coming, which sold at RM4 for small ...

This evening, my husband as usual came to fetch me from office and I found that was a bunch of flower at passager's side when I opened the door, it was a big surprise because I never thought SL would buy me flower on this special day. Yes, today is our 3rd wedding anniversary, we got married on this day three years ago, this can consider as the first time we have it in Malaysia. SL was relocated to US on the first anniversary and we celebrated our second's in US, then now we both in Malaysia for the third. Due to 27th of September is on Tuesday this year, therefore we celebrated earlier at last Saturday, it was a happy day, we had movie in Gurney Plaze and great dinner at a korea restaurant in Tanjung Tokong, we also had some walks in Strait Quay, there we took a lot of pictures. Strait Quay is really a good place to walk around, environment is just like we are in Europe country, a small harbour and European style building with some sea view, I like the place very much. ...

那天，老公带我经过槟城的 Esplanade，他告诉了我一个好多年前的故事，那时我们两还有粱的弟弟到 Esplande 参与 Bon odori 的节目。 突然间，有人从他的背后，很粗鲁的推了他一把，当时我们都在很远处，所以不晓得这件事。被推了之后，粱感到愤怒而想要骂那个推他的人，只是，当他转头发现那是一群军人时，他为了自保而忍了下来。 令梁感到好奇的是，为何会有一群严肃的军人出现在 Bon odori?于是他就仔细的看，原来丁福南被包围在中间，那群军人是为这位“大人物”开路的。 听到这里，我就搞笑的对梁说：“没关系，他的军人推了你之后，丁福南就在下一届大选输了。”是的，他在308时惨败。

Tonight... Me: My legs are looking fat, I think that I need to do more exercise to get it firm and fit. My hubby: At this age, any action taken will be useless to you. Me: =.=" (#%*€£¥ Dear, can you just said something more encouraging?)

Of course, I am not a good swimmer and never took a swimming class before, but somehow I think swimming is my favourite sport, I don't mind that I swim slower than others, but I like the feeling in water and doing exercise. When swimming, you need to concentrate, right? Else you would get drown, therefore I could temporary forget my job. And, people said this is the best sport to keep our body fit, I am not sure if this is true but I like it because I won't make me sweating hardly like other sports. Well, I didn't know how to swim since young, until I tried to playing in water during my teenage and I saw everyone can swim freely in water, so I want to know how to swim. Then, I tried hard to paddle my hands and feet in water, I found that I could float and move in water after some trials, so I considered that I could "swim", though it was actually swimming with no style. However, I didn't have much opportunity to swim until I move to Penang, and I even can ...

某天，与朋友聊到槟城的食物，她就介绍了这吴发成菜馆的火锅，她说好吃，所以我们就找了个周末去品尝了。 火锅并没什么稀奇，只是吴发成的火锅是碳烧火锅，这还是我第一次在槟城看到，上一次吃碳烧火锅是在金马伦高原，觉得当时的金马伦火锅好吃但放了很多味精，并不是我想要的。这次，来试吴发成火锅，我们也是有担心这点。  当我们到了吴发成菜馆时，是将近5:30pm，店才刚刚开，所以不是很多人，初次到这店，我们不了解他的价格是怎么算的，而槟城有很多火锅店是自助型的，一口价任你吃，所以我们看到店里没有自助柜台就觉得奇怪。 问了问老板娘，她说这店是走配套的，像我们两个人，就大概RM40有个火锅，还有两盘肉。我们也不太了解她的配套是怎样的算法，既然朋友介绍应该不会差，而且火锅之家也是大约RM20一个人头，所以就叫的那RM40的配套了。 才刚刚选完了配套，店员就将我们要的一壶茶和一盘花生送上，我们想这应该是包括在配套里吧，花生虽是普通的花生，但不吃白不吃，我们就吃得津津有味。之后，火锅就来了，下面是碳，偶尔需要风扇来让火烧大，锅中间还有个高高的烟囱，是让下面的烟散开的，锅里已经有好多料了，都是菜类。试了试它的汤，还蛮甜蛮好喝的。 最后，两盘的肉类就送上来了，材料都满新鲜的，虾也很大只，只是我们原本认为的两盘肉应该是两大盘的，但是他们比想象中少，再加上锅中的菜，我们认为是填不饱我们的肚子了，所以就叫了多两碗饭，我们想饭应该是不包括在配套吧。 吴发成的火锅汤底很好喝，我一边吃还一边赞它汤的味道，我们还猜这汤是怎没调味出来的，他们应该是没有加味精，因为我们当天没有感到非常的口渴，我们就喜欢这样的食物，没有味精的好味道。 当我们吃完准备付钱时，才发现那RM40的配套只包括了火锅和那两盘得料，茶、花生和饭都是另计，我们还用了两个也不包括在配套的湿纸巾，总共用了RM46.80。以价格与其它槟城的火锅来评，吴发成的火锅算是有点的贵，但是看在它的汤好喝的份上，我们都还算付得心甘情愿，但是，如果以后没有想要喝好的火锅汤底的话，我想我们应该较低可能会再来这间火锅店了。 由于吴发成坐落在汕头街(Kimberly Street)，所以周围还有很多的档口，听说还有汕头美食四大天王，我们在饭后还到了豆水档吃了那儿的豆水和豆腐花。听说，汕头街还有好喝的杏仁水，下次应该还会再到这里来尝...

That day, I wasn't feeling for sometimes, so that I went to consult a doctor, then the doctor asked me how often did I have exercise. Well, I swam every Thursday with YY, LE and LP, and that's all I had, it was about once a week for around 30 minutes to an hour. When doctor knows this, then she said this wasn't enough, of course I know that we at least need about 20 minutes of exercise a day, but we are too lazy to do it and we even wish that our time can fully spend at work, rather than something good for our health. After seeing the doctor, I think that I might need to change my lifestyle and do more exercises. Finally, our schedule start changing during Raya holidays, we did exercise everyday that week, SL and I went to swim everyday that week. After having more exercise, I could feel my body is healthier, because I always felt quite cold when I was in office or at night, but I feel that I can fight against coldness better than before, I even didn't need to wea...

今天，看‘不述之约’时有句话牵动了我~~男人等女人是天经地义，让女人等男人却不好。 其实，我不是个不准时的人，但有时也是会迟到一点点，但也只是那么几分钟罢了，只是我的老公是个没耐性的人，每当等一下下，他都会生气，即使只那么一两分钟。 其实，我有时真的是受够他的气了，我忍，但总是有忍无可忍的一天的，时常会因为他为了短暂的等待而对我脸臭臭，最后弄得我不开心，还生气。 为什么他只看到他等我的时候？我也时常因为他迟到而等他啊，而他往往都忘了那些时候。 有时，跟他在一起会让我感到压力，很有压迫感，他总认为他所做的是最伟大的事，而我只是微不足道的那个小女人，所以我忍是应该的，而他是那个拥有主导权的那个。 只要我忍，而没把脾气发出来，所有的事就是小事而不足挂齿。当我不开心而发脾气时，他才会觉得事态严重而检讨。 然而，我真的是受够了，太多次了，我好讨厌他哦。

Past few months, I was reading a book and now I finished it, "Lost Symbol" from Dan Brown, the book from author of "Angles and Demon" and "Da Vinci Code". Well, I bought this book when it was first release at two years ago, but I didn't read it until now. If I know that I won't read it that soon, I might only buy the book now because it is cheaper after first release with softcover and I am not a fan to collect first release books. To me, "Lost Symbol" is not as good as his previous work, his "Digital Fortress" is even better than this book. Over all, the story is still nice, just I didn't like the ending which left the director of CIA's secret unclear. Also, the story wasn't that excited to me and I could guess who the madman is before the half of the story and I somehow find the story is dragging slow when author tries to write different storylines from different charactar, this makes my emotion was suddenly co...

Logo's Hope Floating Book Fair is arrived to Penang from 25 August to 25 September, I was there at the second day of its opening, it was so crowded on Saturday, we needed to line up to get a pass from port officer before on board and there were still a lot of visiters waiting for boarding. Finally, we successfully on board and pay RM1 for entrance fee, which I think it was reasonable, because this book fair is supported by a group of volanteer from different nationals, where you could find there nation from their badge. It was my first time to visit a floating book fair on a real ship, this ship is travelling to different places for public to visit, their books' price is calculated by unit, which 100 units worth for RM8. To me, their story book price are fair and seem like cheaper than other bookstore, but their cookbooks price are not much different. Due to too crowded and limited exhibition space, I found hard to walk inside the bookstore, I found a lot of people just ...

I read something interesting today about investment on property, it tells that we need to know the rental rate there before you buy the property and a good guideline for residential investment is about 6% (or more) rental returns. This mean that if you got the annual rental return with more than 6% of your property value, then that property is worth for invest. Here is the formula: Rent/month X 12 months ____________________ X 100 = 6%    Property Value Besides that, we also need to consider how long will that property be filled up, how is demand vs supply, growing rate and so and so. I think 6% calculation is quite helpful for benchmarking if that property is worh for investment or not, but I think it is hard to find a condominium in Penang for a 6% rental return now, isn't it?

说到这肉骨茶店，我们还真的是机缘巧合的来到的，当时我们本打算去吃白咖喱面的，但是才发现它只开到3pm，所以只好选别间店来解决晚餐，就选了这间靠近我们停留地点的益香肉骨茶了。 当我们抵达了这间店，就看见了间好大的一间肉骨茶店，这与传统的当口不太一样，其实第一眼见到这样规模的店，梁和我是有点的失望，就感觉像是去 Old Town 用餐一样，有规模没味道的感觉。 看了看它的菜单，又是另一种失望了，因为他每一样菜都有各自的价钱，不像普通的肉骨茶档将所有的材料都放入一个碗的，一口价，而益香的却将每一样食才分开来开价，如果真要将每样料都吃的话，还真的是不便宜呢。最后，我们就选了排骨和半肥瘦，加一道菜了。 然而，食物还没上桌还真是不能就此下定论的，益香的肉骨茶还真的是蛮不错的，它的排骨是很好的排骨，做得恰到好处，肉很容易就脱骨而出了，它的半肥瘦也是满满的一碗（虽然是小婉），味道也很不错。还有，他们的汤很浓、很好喝，很难在一般的档口找到，每一口还会感觉它沾在唇上，还会无意间的用舌头去舔自己的嘴唇，想把那浓汤的味道吞入肚里。这还是我们第一次喝肉骨茶喝到这么疑惑，喝到这么有话题。 其实，它将每样食才分开来开价也是有它的好处，向有人只喜欢某种部位，就只买那部位，而且还是精华，只是对于那些喜欢吃全部部位的人而言就有点的昂贵了，只是它的分量是可以满足一个正常人的肚子的，而且最主要是碗碗都是好料，我只能说是物有所值。 那天，我们大概花了RM34（包括饭和服务费）的晚餐费，是比一般的肉骨茶贵了些，但我们也很满意它的味道，回家途中还一直讨论着它的味道和它的概念，我们把它归类为精致的肉骨茶，小小一碗但却是精华，还真的有齿唇留香的感觉，梁还说这是他第一次有想要再回去同一间店再吃的冲动，而且还要再吃它的排骨。 相隔了一个星期，我们带梁的家人再去了益香，他们的食物虽然少了第一次的惊喜，但还是蛮好吃的，而且人多了价钱除起来也比较划算，五个人大约吃了RM68。 下次，我要试试它的绑线材料了，听说是因为他们用这绑线的方法，所以汤才会这么的香浓到位。只是，吃它们的肉骨茶时，要特别注意别让舌头烫到，因为它们用火来为汤保温，有时汤会被烧得太烫了。 地址：88, Macalister Road,        ...

Yeah, SL and I got a nine-days holidays this week after applied 2 annual leaves, but now is Tuesday already, we have used half of our holidays until now, time flies especially good time flies faster. Past few months, I didn't sleep very well and always felt tiredness, and luckily we have this week long holidays, I think I start recover from those sleepless experience. However, I originally planned to log in sometime during my holidays, but I didn't make it until now because I enjoy quite a lot with this relax holidays, SL and I went to sport quite a lot of time for our health safe, I even asked him to go swimming with me everyday, not sure if we really can make it. After today evening, my parents-in-law are coming for visit, our house will be fill with people soon, hopefully we all will have a nice holidays here.

Weather is quite cold recently, I could see nearly everyday is raining, roads are always wet, temperature is low. Well, I don't like hot weather, so that cold weather should satisfy me, however somtime I found it too cold, I even couldn't sleep well last night due to I felt cold on the bed. Today, I wore long sleeve and boot to office, which I thought it could prevent heat lost, but somehow I still felt cold in office. Anyways, I think it was better then before. Is this normal weather in Malaysia? I missed it last year, and forgot the years before, but I don't remember that I got this cold like recently in the rest of my life in Malaysia, except at hill area. Is it because environment change or my body change? Perhaps, I am old now and cannot bear too much cold now or I am weaker than before now. Actually, I personally think this type of body isn't healthy especially for female, this is a sign asks me to take more care on my body. I think I need to do mor...

不知道为什么，最近真的是很郁闷，没有太多的心情工作，总是觉得力不从心，这是事业瓶颈吗？ 以前午休时，都有个三五成群的饭友相约着到哪去吃饭，可是现在的情形变了，自从第一个饭友决定辞职离开，我们之间开始着跳槽热潮，开始讨论着某某公司的福利、薪金还有股价，又讨论着我们公司的前景。之后，就有人去面试了，现在算算，以前的三五成群现在也将要少了一半的人了，场面凄凉，弄得没了陪食，也就开始啃面包了。 也许是因为这样，弄得我的情绪低迷，恨自己没敢下定决心去改变，真希望十一月快快来临，我那热情的AC马上回来，让我生活添姿彩，跟我组饭局。 其实，还有另一件郁闷的事，我每天都在重复的做着同一样工作，让我有时觉得没有意义，其实，我这个人比较喜欢同时做很多不同的事物，偶尔看看这，偶尔碰碰那，就是不喜欢拘于固定的模式，喜爱自由的分配自己的时间，可现在做的事总让自己感到困顿，开始觉得不是很开心。 现在的工作，第一阶段是差不多完成了，开始觉得心烦了，问问自己接下来是不是还是如此继续下去，自己也不知道，是否应该向老板反映反映一下？为了让自己逃离，决定和梁在下星期一请一天的假，这还是我第一次没有原因的浪费自己的年假，是不是应该想想要怎么用呢？ 好藓好藓，很郁闷很郁闷，我要到什么时候才能逃离这样的困境呢？真希望我拥有足够的年假与金钱，请上两个星期的假，和梁一同到个无人认识的国度，过上两个星期的悠闲日子，才回来工作，不知要到什么时候才能拥有这样的机会。

梁最近介绍我一首歌，叫《念你》，他说这首歌是被骂红的，就开了youtube给我看。 MTV是放着老旧的黑白片段，男女主角只在客厅和饭厅出现，男主角刘子谦就重复的唱着以下两段歌词，与其说是唱，倒不如说是唸歌词，拥有着怪怪的旋律的演讲吧。 第一次听，还真的是觉得很难听，旧旧的歌曲，配上怪怪的唱法，我还真的是无法听完这整首歌，真难怪被骂到乱。 可是，听完了之后，这首歌还一直在我耳边徘徊不去，绕梁三日原来也会出现在烂歌上的。 现在这个世代还真的是怪，不管是好的，还是坏的，只要你有能力让他能够每人到说他，他就会红了。你如果做不到最好的，那就做最坏的吧 :P 岳飞名流千史，秦桧遗臭万年，看样子两人都留了名。 念你 === 作曲：刘家昌 填词：刘家昌 我的字典里没有放弃 因为已锁定你 我从不写空白的日记 日记里全是你 眼见着月亮悄悄溜走 又见到太阳缓缓升起 多少个昼夜变换 多少次一年四季 爱不偷懒始终如一

When we had breakfast this morning, SL asked why we always chose milo as our breakfast drink, can we have something healthy other than coffee and tea, then I suggested milk. After that he blamed me that I didn't notice him with alternate drink and I told him that he didn't think deeper. After that, he suddenly said his BIOS is at DEFAULT mode, if no INTERRUPT to ask him to do some other JOB, then he will only EXECUTE what was DEFAULT =.=" After listened what he was talking, I was stunned, he even apply those technical term into our normal conversation now, is he occupied himself as a CPU??? Although sometime I would use some jobs related term in our daily conversation, like AR, milestone, internal transfer, so on so forth, but that is more to common term, but SL always used something deeper than I thought, he describe his memory as a RAM, ROM, harddisk or external harddisk, what BIOS, what draw current, oh no, he is addicted now. And, I really not up to his level ...

Yes!! After I have been in Penang for 5 years, this is the first time that I can see such a big book fair hold in Penang, in Pisa Stadium, it took the whole level 3 for many different bookstore to sell their book in the same place, for 10 days (from 12 to 21 August, 11am to 10pm). Today is the first day of book expo, SL and I walked from our home to Pisa to see what are selling there, I had spent about 2 hours in the Arena, which is the second time that we can spend so much them in an expo, after Homedec April when we needed to research for our new home's items. In Pisa, I walked from store to store, table to table to dig for some interesting book, finally we spent some money to get some book that attracted us. However, I actually love some books that I didn't buy yet because I can't let myself to spend too much money in one shot, perhaps I will visit it for some other times since it is close to our house and will be there until next weekend. However, for bookworm,...

This few week, I couldn't sleep well at night and dreamt every night, so that I felt quite tired recently. In the meanwhile, I felt pain at my teeth since last week, which always made me felt uncomfortable, I am not sure if my sleepless and dreamful night is related with my teeth problem, just I was really not feeling well lately and hated this situation continuously happened. At the begining, my teeth was still fine but it felt pain when I drank something hot, which made me couldn't concentrate at work, toothache is really an annoying pain that would make you don't want to continue at the same situation. Finally, I went to consult a dentist last weekend, the dentist filled two of my teeth and it costed me RM120, that time I was regret that I wasn't a dentist, this type of professional really earn a lot. After filling, I hoped that my situation would turn better, but it didn't and my condition seems to be worse, then I felt pain not only when drinking, but also chew...

On July 19th 2011, it's the day SL and I together for 5 years, time flies. SL said the day that we first together is more important than the day we get married, therefore we always have celebration for this special day. After five years together, our relationship has became stable and mature, so that we didn't expect any gift or flower for any big day, since we always bought things to each other on casual day, that is enough. However, we are for sure will have dinner/lunch at some place special to celebrate this relationship could walk that far. This year, we decided to have dinner at "The View" in Equatorial Hotel, which is French cusion with half buffer basic, there you need to order a main course that comes with soup, buffet appertizer and desert. The environment of restaurant is really romantic, you can see the Penang Bridge from their window and a candle lit between us, there is piano playing behind us. This is the first time that we spent our dinner at such a ro...

这两天，我身体不适，所以家里没开冷气。 今晚，老公问我觉得热吗，我说不热，他就走了。过了一个小时之后，老公突然问我，可以开冷气吗？我想他应该是热昏了，最近又有雾，闷热加倍吧，所以我让他开冷气了。 之后，我穿起了冷衣长裤御寒（还真是有点的神经病）。

Hanabishi? Did you hear this brand previously? Honestly, I never know it until I bought it. Two months ago, we were planning to move in our new house and of course kettle is one of our shopping list, after compared with price, style and outlook, we decided to buy Hanabishi kettle, which is made in stainless steel and easy to clean, which look kind of quality to us. However, it had leaking problem when we first used it to boil water, there water just leaked out from the bottom of kettle, then we only could request an exchange from Jusco, fortunately we were allowed to change another unit. Well, I thought the trouble has gone, but the kettle just gone malfunction recently, it wasn't more than two months after we purchased it, this time we really dissapointed with Hanabishi brand, the lowest quality product that we ever seen. Finally, we decided to buy some brand that we know, which is Panasonic and we first use it today, hopefully it won't be that fagile as Hanabishi. To me, I am...
