A mediterranean journey to Agua

Due to some reasons, I coudldn't leave the island for at least quite a long period, finally I settled with a small treat for myself in last qtr of 2011 by purposely took a half day off to Straits Quay for some Tapas and cocktail as high teas~


The Outlook...

The plate of tapas includes of Garlic Bread, Baba Ganoush, Hummus, Crispy calamari ring, Mixed Mushrooms Paprika and Patatas Brava. I personally like the Crispy calamari ring the most. The taste of Hummus which made of aubergines and Tahini (white sesame) seems a bit unfamiliar with me, but still acceptable if took together with garlic bread.

The 'Chok' look...

The cosy environment...

According to my friend who share this to me during my confinement, for those who just delivered by natural way, they can just consume this wine the next day and finish the whole bottle in 12 days to get maximum benefits of the wine.

个人感想

来到2011年的最后一个月了，每每来到这个时候，莫名的思绪就会开始慢慢地排山倒海地涌进来。这一年，我写的不多，可以说是属于非常封闭的一年，不过算一算接触的人还算不少，上半年在育苗中心认识了一群来自不同背景不同年龄的朋友，有教育界的，师奶界的，美容界的，还有中国远嫁大马的，各式各样，虽然现在鲜少联络，但那段短短的日子也实在是我人生中非常不一样的体验，所以是值得在这里一提的~

这一年，其实有很多时间是与自己相处的。原来之前真的很少很少真正和自己沟通，毕业后忙着工作，忙着和朋友聚会，忙着结婚，忙着旅行，所以在这段无所事事的日子里，虽然哪里都没去，却交了自己做朋友，睡了不少觉，读了不少书，煲了不少剧，缝了不少包包，也和妈妈聊了很多。

还有想提一提我的一位朋友，在这一年里上演了一段可媲美电视剧的可歌可泣的故事，忽离忽合，是爱？是恨？是同情？是出轨？是报复？是露出真面目？还是翻脸不认人？反转猪肚就是屎？到现在而言，不晓得这部剧是否真的落幕了，不过至少看到她积极的改变，短短的时间里，从自卑到自信，从卑微到洒脱，从犹豫到坚决，这样的“结局”算是对我们这些忠实观众有一个交待了。在这里，衷心希望我的这位朋友在未来的日子里，可以掌握属于她自己的幸福~

昨天看了港版《那些年》-《天与地》的前两集，不同的是，这部戏里，男的痴，女的也痴。当然能让她痴情的原因，应该就只有一个吧，那就是因为男友失踪了。唯有怀着希望，怀着不甘心，才能让人坚守信念，无条件的等待一个人吧~ 而他们的那些年，确实非常不一样，我还蛮喜欢港版成熟版沈佳宜与家明的邂逅~ 看起来就非常的舒服，浪漫，很有感觉，和九把刀的那些年的故事比起来，我是比较喜欢这个。或许是我从小就受港剧熏陶的原因吧~

圣诞节快来了，和同事聊起了以往公司举行的交换礼物环节，我记得第一年抽到要送礼物给我的是坐在我对面的Cutie,第二年抽到要送礼物给我却也是离我非常之近，就是办公桌在我旁边的杰仔。两次我都不相信直觉，所以猜错了，可能是我压根儿不愿意相信有这么凑巧的事吧~ 不过偏偏就真的有这么巧的事啊~ 今年在不同的公司了，我又想这次不会这么巧了吧~我写的三个想要的礼物是和Hello Kitty完全没关系的~ 有书，有DVD，还有一个东东呢是我想那个抽到我的人应该会选的。呵呵！就拭目以待吧！

这一篇，分了几天写，所以每一段都不能连接，纯粹是个人感想，无他～

The Devotion of Suspect X容疑者Xの献身

· It’s just an ordinary day, the reason I post this is just to keep track for a famous novel I have read named The Devotion of Suspect X (Yōgisha X no Kenshin, 容疑者Xの献身?), the Tantei Galileo series written by Keigo Higashino, a Japanese brilliance author chiefly known for his mystery novels. Though I am reading the mandarin version, not the original form but I can resolutely conclude that this novel is no doubt one of the best & crazy novel I have read ever ~ It drives me to fall into a deep emptiness, a great satisfaction yet an unsettle romantically sadness towards the ending of the story. For the first time I really hope that the justice will stand invincibly behind Tetsuya Ishigami,石神 who is such a true & poor genius and willing to sacrifice himself to protect & safeguard a woman he loves by creating an undefeatable master plan. Salute to the writer!!!
· Hmm, seems like I am too into the story for the past few days, should go back to the reality world. Looking forward to watch the movie ~

那些年观后感

一直以来，我是蛮反潮流的人，一旦哪样东西变成了潮流的祭品，我就会理所当然地把它踢入黑名单里。周杰伦是其中一个。

但是张学友除外，村上春树例外，九把刀呢就在候选名单里。

就在大家最近为了满城风雨的19岁陈嘉桓被男星非礼的事件闹得沸沸扬扬，还有前阵子18岁昆霖搭上天王周杰伦，16岁某某及陈冠希的绯闻议论纷纷时，这一部戏，犹如一股清流，来得刚刚好正是时机。。。因为这才是十几岁的女生应该过的日子呀~简简单单的暧昧多好，就只做某某人眼里的苹果多浪漫。一旦放上了头条，被人带上了有色的眼睛后，他们还能象普通人一样挥洒余下的青春吗？

当大家一窝蜂地赶搭那些年的列车时，我以为我会一如以往地反潮流罢搭。我看过了那部小说，我想我年少时的角色就只能当沈佳宜的好朋友，而我的柯景腾也只出现了那么一阵子，不至于羁绊一生。现在的我，当了别人老婆也当上了别人妈妈了，青涩的岁月已经这么远了，所以看这部戏的冲动早已荡然无存。这些理由应足够让我对这部电影却步不恭的。

但我最终还是犹豫及勉强地走入了那些年的漩涡里，只为了想看看朋友口中好看感动的电影是什么样子，也想欣赏一下九把刀的首部执筒电影~

帅哥美女之类的，大家提过的我就不说了，最让我觉得值回票价的就是男主角在婚礼上的那一幕吧！够意思的~出乎意料！其实九把刀就是可以把黄色的鬼点子放在书或电影里，真真实实的做自己却不讨人厌，而且还能得到大家喜爱的人~ 试想想，如果你身边的男人满脑子情色每天跟你说黄色笑话，你会怎样想他？

所以，九把刀，就暂时让你呆在我的候选名单里吧~

快迈入七个月大了。。

这个星期邻居的孙子从柔佛来度假一个星期，亨就这样交了新朋友，他有八个月大，叫杰斯丁，亨亨就暂时叫比博。。两个宝宝就当了我的模特儿，拍得我不亦乐乎！ 赞~ 不过呢前天就发生了一场闹剧，因为他们的女佣被反锁在屋里的晒衣台，从早上到下午才被我发现，因为他不懂本地语言，我不晓得他是自己不小心，还是被邻居故意锁在哪儿，因为我记得早上邻居出门时说要去北海喝喜酒，晚上才会回来，我没有邻居的手提，就通知了security,结果搞到一大堆警察上来调查，等了老半天邻居才叫人来开门给她。可怜的女佣~ 老天爷，有时候觉得，人的命运也太极端了吧~ 原来比起别人，其实我们身为马来西亚的二等公民，待遇还不算差的~ 希望她们的付出是有回报的！

这个穿黄衣的男人是亨爸还是亨霸？ 呵呵。。。 真是父子情深~ 下午抱着亨亨踢乒乓球，他不停的笑，玩得好兴奋呢！下次还要跟他玩乒乓球~

非常难得才有机会拍全家福，可惜照片素质还是不好，因为只能用手机拍。不管啦，有总好过没有，就放在这边当作纪念啦。。

今天算有小进步啦，可以逛街两小时，不过其中一个小时是躺在推车睡觉。。去了普库的店买了圣诞礼物给宝宝哦！

还有，十五号那天，亨开始会粘我了，当我去做工时他会大叫要跟我去了。好可爱，哈哈~ 我想我快最近也太疼他了~他跟我一起拍照的时候就特别有默契·

Slow production...

My precious Sunday

New breakfast outlet to hang out with my BB after Straits Quay & Tesco Tg. Pinang...
Gurney, Winter warmers.

There are two types of b'fast set, i.e. either croissant or sandwich.

I like the environment here, & Little Herng too~

谢谢

不知从何时开始，总爱用时间流逝的速度来当开场白。。。
或许人生就是如何看你如何运用这短短的几十年吧。。。

朋友说，今年是多事之秋的一年。。。

我则说，今年是大家迅速成长的转折点。。。

成长也好长大也好，成熟也好老了也好，这些背后就是要付出一些沉重的代价。。。

小时候我们拼命想长大，长大后却拼命想变小。。。

不管怎样都好，我想我们的心中永远要保留留着一颗赤子之心吧，这样我们的生命我们的热诚才能积极地延续下去。

前几天参加了公司主办的活动。

对于一群的新同事中，我发现其中一个特别的有活力，节目过了半天了，她还能精神奕奕，生龙活虎，点子多多。。。那时我就心想，她的年纪应该很年轻吧。。。

后来，我却从同事的口中知道，原来她并不小了。。。

虽然不是很认识她，可是从她的身上却有很多的感想。。。

其实做人就很简单呀~ 为什么就是有人要把它复杂化呢？

年纪越大，是否就能越看越开呢？

还是经历越多，心就能越豁达呢？

这些心灵上的修炼，我想并没有年龄之分，也没有身份地位之别，

上天在某些时候在某个特别疼爱的人身上咬了一大口，

然后让他们如何去把伤口缝合起来。。。

有些的伤口合了就会痊愈，可是有的且会留着一道疤，只能慢慢得让时间来消淡。。

对于这件事，谁是谁非根本不重要， 即然和好也不能如初了，

我们就只能潇洒一些，让这条伤疤由时间来主宰它。。。

不过，曾经在一起的美好时光，我会永远想念着。。

祈祷大家都要过得很好很好。。。

谢谢你们的活力示范，我从你们的身上，看到了一些希望~

Team Building @ Rasa Sayang...

This is my second time here..found this round is more fulfilling and satisfying as this time I have better appetite and didn't bring my alarm clock along..hehe~



First round...

Second round...

Chocolate dessert collections...

The three chocolate sticks..only mashmallow is nice~

Strawberry collections...

My favourite of the night - Mini lobster...

War of mosquitoes vs herng

This is the first war of Herng in his life - fight against the abominable and disguisting mosquitoes... Let's pray together to help Herng to win the war..Please go away and surrender, mosquitoes!

Look at the right pic, there are some bites in his cute little round innocent face...

The weapon sponsored by Herng's dad:-

N0.1: Khind Brand Mosquito killer - finally found it in an electrical appliances shop inside Bukit Jambul Complex after LSS in batu maung, SEC in Prima Tanjung and Seng Heng.This is the last unit according to the shop owner. Able to save RM50 as compared with SEC, somemore SEC don't have ready stock, need to wait another 2 weeks.


No 2 Buds- Mozzie Clear Lotion - From peekaboo - work as insects repeller and also help in healing and soothing the existing bites.

No.3 - Shieldtox - the basic one which give the immediate effect after we spot the targets.

Hope the prevention is enough to protect my little Herng from all the bad insects...

The 5 mths old bb

He is entering 5th months now..time really flies without our acknowledgement~ Here would like to share with you guys some memorable moments of my little bb's growing process. Thanks my childhood's friend, Jann Khaw fo rthe lovely & stylish boyish cap...

His usual curious look..first time ride on the bicycle.. seems a bit nervous but looks very steady with cousin beside him...

The walker - Started to know walking backward by kicking his little leg...he finds this fun!

《当我跑步时，我谈些什么?〉

梁文道这个老头儿说得没错，村上君的《当我跑步时，我谈些什么?〉果然与他的长篇小说非常不一样。看了《1Q84〉及《寻羊冒险记〉后，我已渐渐把村上君抛掷脑后，不错开始看确实有些惊艳，不过由于太过故事性，当中需要时间来消化他的文字里要表达的意思，所以没有让我上瘾并继续追加他的作品。就这样停了一段日子，直到最近在书展又重遇了他...

在这边要补充一下，说梁文道是老头似乎非常不敬，话说回来时有一天看见我十六岁的妹妹在看他写的书，好奇之下冲口而出，为什么你会看老头儿的书。就是那天起开始这样叫他的。毕竟我十六岁时，好像只会看言情小说，对于梁文道这类的学者的书，我是完全提不起兴趣的。看来我的妹妹的品位比我好很多呢~

原来村上君也是一位跑者。对于跑者，我总是会对他们肃然起敬的。原因无他，就是他们的一种坚持吧。

待续。。。你看，写一篇文章，真的需要很强的集中力，我是有，然而又是却身不由己，只好待续。。。

Bonia CAMILLE COLARATO

Finally I got my new bag after few shop-pings...thanks thanks thanks~ guess which color i chose? I am not slave of branded products, hence choosing this mid range local brand. No doubt its design looks like some well known brands, however, this brand is a reliable and trusted one, and just suits me who appreciate originality and value~

求签拜佛

好久没去求签了，也好久没和朋友们去拜拜了。

看来我这个善信也是时候去庙宇朝拜~

记得以前，师父诵经时总会用一根葱茅蘸水泼在我们身上，那时候我一定会忍俊不住，在旁唧唧笑。这次，不懂为什么，一个人的时候我一点也笑不出来了。

不过这次总算求得个好签~开心！

蘑菇化妆包/万用包

最近越来越多人叫我做包包来卖了。这对我来说，无疑是一种很大的鼓励，让我在手作路上更加有信心。不过或许成本太高了，要卖的话，根本赚不了多少钱，很可能随时要赔本呢~ 所以这些作品展示还是我的无价之宝~


这个结晶品，是子萱要求我教她做的，她只画了纸型就想放弃了。结果可以说七十巴仙还是我的功劳。嘿嘿~


对了，这个是参考彭丽娟老师的书作出来的，而后面的设计则是我自己想出来的，所以前面和后面的风格是截然不同的哦~

迷惘。迷失。迷思。

迷惘。迷失。迷思。

人生都总有这么的一段路要走。。。

看了报章上的一篇文章，他说他的八十后的弟弟有一句名言，那就是“一切都是暂时性的，再辛苦的日子也是会过去的”

这个道理我明白，也体验过。不过，上天的考验还是不断的接踵而来。

真不晓得等待的日子要多久才能结束~

能和小哼每天在一起的日子固然是很幸福，

不过还是要为将来铺路。

希望早点铺路，早点收工~

急不来，也怠慢不得。。。

还有好长好长的路要走。。。

微博语录：

Life is a kind of pressure. We should learn to prop up ourselves.

人生是一种承受，我们要学会支撑自己

This is the pencil case from her at 10 years back when i was still studying Form Six in PCGHS~ It will be an antique soon as hardly saw any pork chop products in market nowadays~

进入第四个星期了。。

从一开始的期待变成了等待，意志力真的消沉了不少~

一周复一周，

好害怕无止境的等待及没有结果的等待。。。

希望会是有结果的等待~

随着年龄的增长，无可否认自尊心也跟着强了。。

其实真的要学一学李大美人的保养之道。。。

永远保持自己的心态比自己的真实年龄年轻十岁以上~

希望我可以像她这样~
