2013 . Summer

又是另一个一年，另一次搬迁，另一个居住环境。

去年五月搬到乐富，才住不够一年，终于 - 是的，终于在今年的四月搬去一个令人舒服的环境。虽然租金比较贵（比之前的单位贵了大概 80%），至少环境比较像是人住的。不是乐富不好，是之前的单位令人住的不舒服。喜欢乐富的方便，因为连着地铁线。可却厌恶那单位的一切，那屋主，甚至所有与那单位有关系的一切。它，真的令人太不愉快！还好。。终于离开，脱离这一切！

奇痒难当其的泡子

去了一趟香港山顶公园，就把自己搞成这个样子。。。呜。。。呜。。。

去的当天有五个人，只有我一个没有好像其它人那样挠得像个猴子，还以为自己真幸运，没被这些不知名的小黑虫叮。那知道，他们全好了，就只有我一个在两天后才发作，而且还是越发越多！一条手臂就有三十几颗，太可恶了！

最糟糕的，不只是双手而已，就连双脚、背后都被这些不知名的小黑虫叮成这这些奇痒难当的泡子，想挠又怕发炎，不挠又痒的不知如何是好。。。自己搽了一些药，都不见好转。以为比较好些的时候，那知又会再翻发。。。忍受了一个星期，在无法忍受的情况下，终于往医务所去找医生。。。

医生开了一些敏感与止痒口服药，还有一瓶不知名的药膏。希望吃/搽了这些药会赶快好起来，儿且最重要的是千万别留疤痕。。。

这只是我比较严重的右手。。。

我的药。。。

小病是福？

小鱼病了。。。

昨天早上突然心血来潮想要买个早点，好好款待自己。所以到公司附近的茶餐室要了一个 Kaya 包点和一包“参冰”（就是咖啡+奶茶）。结果早餐是吃了，却把自己吃出个病来，真是病从口入！

刚吃完早餐不久，就觉得肚子开始不舒服，胸口作闷。没多久，就来个上吐下泻了，还要一连泻了好几回，吐个不清不楚。。。然后，就开始头痛得不得了。结果，在我有生之年，第一次上班时请半天病假。

看了医生回家不久，趴了两口午餐（因为吃药前需要吃点东西垫垫胃），吃了药就倒头大睡直道下午。发觉自己好像又开始严重。。。忽冷忽热的，又勉强自己起床吃了两颗 Panadol，一睡就是到第二天早晨。

好久不曾这样病了。以前觉得自己一个人也还好啊，可是生病的时候却又有另一个想法。如果生病的时候有个人在身边关心关心一下，递茶送药的，不是更好吗？

小强来我家

生平最怕的就是小强（蟑螂）！自从家经过大装修以后，我都尽所能用不同的产品希望可以尽量不让小强拜访。小强的芳影其实是少之又少。

两天前就听老弟说看见一只满大的小强出现在厨房。本能嗅到小强味道的我却看不见它的踪影，寻找又寻不见。却让我今个大清早看见它从厨房的一端，跑到冰箱底下躲着！天啊！！！不敢靠近，也不敢驱赶。。。听说小强怕香茅精油，唯有等会儿放工到超市买一瓶试看看。

现在想想，头皮都会发麻。。。救命。。。！！

农历新年 VS 堵车

真怀念上个星期的路面状况。。。因为农历新年的关系，许多人放假，所以完全没有塞车的情况出现，一路顺畅无阻到公司。今天虽然比平时好一点点，可是还未去到 LDP 的时候几经有少许堵车的情况出现了。

发现甲洞区好像比较多华人哦，因为农历新年路面情况比其它的佳节空洞许多。=)

新年咯~

新年，新的一年嘛~

如往年的新年一般，没有什么特别。除了吃吃喝喝，就是赌赌牛，吹吹水。两天公假，一转眼就这么过去了。数算日子，今天已经是年初六咯~！！

因为三月份需要请长假到香港/台湾，所以这个新年就无法延长假期。唯有年初四就拖着懒懒的身体与灵魂，飘回来开工。还好交通顺畅，这是新年难得的一项优惠。过了这个星期，就得如以往一般，塞着车上下班咯。。。真希望每天的交通都如这个星期一样，天天通顺无阻！

three little dots

"I don't really like this roller-coaster way of life. My personal favorite is ellipsis —the three tiny, little dots that carry big, gigantic meanings. It's serene. It's soothing and it's everlasting. It's without boundaries, but it's full of imaginations." - quote from 爽爽学历史

Discover an interesting blogger this evening. Like the way she express herself, her experience at where she are. Worth reading. The above quote was from her, and i like it though.

更新护照记

“游走”政府部门，一直都是可避就避的，却很多时候无可避免的事。更新护照，更是闻者怕怕。一大早天未亮就得站在移民局门口排队不说，一等，可能就得等一整天了。

最近，因为护照过期，又得更新了，所以上网做了不少的搜索。竟然让我发觉到，我们的移民局进步了许多， 真是可喜可贺。不单只可以透过 Kiosk 更新护照，提高速度与缩短我们拿号码排长龙的时间，移民局更是在周六与星期天开门营业呢 -- 营业时间早上 8：00 至下午 1：00！也就是说一星期七天都能让你我更新护照。这对我们这一群打工一族来说，真是一个非常棒的服务。我们不再需要请年假，或者。。。诈病拿病假（窃笑~！）就能在一个周末搞定一切!

话说刚过的星期六，我就到了我们的移民局更新护照，因为三月需要出国一趟。一早7：40我就到了。因为 Kiosk 在周末没有开，所以我也只能排对。人龙虽然蛮长，应该是因为就快到农历新年，好多人会乘这个时候去旅游吧。可是效率都满快的。移民局早上 8：00 准时开门，约 9：00 就拿到号码 - 1082，9：45 缴交旧护照与所有有关文件给有关当局，10：15 付费，下午12：25拿号码 - 8020等拿新护照，下午12：40就搞定一切，新护照拿到手啦~

注： 基本上 Kiosk 只在周一至周五开放使用。但是如果人龙很长，也会破例开放。

MaRcH~

蓝天没有白云

下了好几个月的雨，享受了好几个月的雨季与凉爽的空气。

看着今早蓝蓝的天空，配着一个不完整的月亮，我想，雨季看来也就快要道别了。

“撞鬼”记

这事发生在刚过的星期天晚上。这几天实在太忙碌，无法记录在部落格。

话说星期天晚上。嗯，应该是星期一凌晨三点多，我家后面邻居的两条狗突然狂吠不已。被狗吠声吵醒的我，心想应该是有陌生人经过，又或者可能有坏人要犯案吧，才会令那两条狗狂吠不已吧。话说时迟。。。Oreo 突然从睡梦中醒来，走到床沿盯着窗口（我家旁边就是一条小巷，所以我的房间就有一扇窗是可以看见那条小巷的）数秒钟，然后走到我的身边舔了我一下下。不久又在重复同样的动作。我安抚了它，让它躺下，不久就看见它闭上双眼入睡。可是因为狗吠声实在太大声，所以我一直两眼瞪天花板，无法入眠。那两条狗不停的吠，大约吠了一个多小时有多。。。就在大约凌晨四点多，这两条狗突然不吠了。就在我心想终于有觉好睡的时候，离狗吠声停止前后不到两秒钟，Oreo 突然站起来对着隔开我与弟弟的睡房的那一幅墙壁发出低沉的吠声！那动作就好像它看见陌生人一样，就快展开攻击！Oreo 从来不曾如此，更何况是对着一幅墙/空气。而且根据经验所在，狗只有在自己的领土被侵略，或是有不属于这间家的人（或“东西”）出现的时候，才会发出类似的吠声，做出如此的行为。顿时。。。我的汗毛竖起。。。那感觉就好想有个我看不见的“东西”正站在我的床边看着我们。。。 非常可怕！

脑袋完全无法操作的我，立刻按开电灯，赶紧祷告、唱诗歌。心情非常紧张，一直到看见 Oreo 放松、躺下，我才得以从新躺下。可是心情一直取法平复，以至整晚无法入睡。。。深怕那“东西”又再次到访。。。

虽然，我一直深信要是上帝不允许，就连一条头发也不会掉。所以这“东西”的到访，或许只是一个特别的经验。可那心理负担，还是让我每一次听见Oreo吠的时候，都会处于防备状况。。。

驾照过期

我的驾照过期了！

过期整整２０天！要不是同事 D　提起，恐怕到月底我都还没发觉呢。
无法想象这２０天里如果我这么“幸运”遇上了交警，牛肉干恐怕逃不了！太可怕了！

幸好吃午餐的餐厅附近有邮政局，可以让我及时在１０分钟里搞定，要不然。。。今天放工驾车回家恐怕也就试提心吊胆了。。。

幸好。。。幸好。。。

Oreo 的新朋友

Oreo 的新朋友 - 小 Stitch 自从来到我们家，几乎每天都同 Oreo 从早玩到晚。被 Oreo 搞到自己一身脏兮兮的，却可怜没人发现。一直到了昨天，老爸终于帮 Stitch 洗白白，然后把它挂在屋子外面 ^.^

虽然现在身体干净了，可是鼻子破了，身上也多了许多大大小小的伤痕。成了 Stitch 作为一个朋友为 Oreo 牺牲的凭据。

A Real JoKeR

Ina : Hello, can I speak to Eleika?
Me : I'm sorry, Eleika no longer with Trapper.
Ina : Oh... since when yar?
Me : Since last year.
Ina : May i know who is this on the line?
Me : I'm Dorothy. May i know who is this on the line?
Ina : Ina. I-N-A.
Me : Ina, where are you calling from?
Ina : Er.. I'm calling from Taman Melawati.
Me : Erhm.. which company are you calling from?
Ina : Oh.. Acicc. A-C-I-C-C.
Me : Ok. What can I do for you, Ina?
Ina : Is Star own by you?
Me : No.
Ina : So Star own by who in your company?
Me : (i'm going to burst into giggling...) Er... Star is not own by any one in Trapper. In fact, Star is a media owner, and Trapper is an agency.
Ina : Ok... I call you back later.
Me : Alright. Thank you for calling.

This is really a big joke for me early in the morning! She really do not know the whole situation in media and advertising? Or she just simply ask stupid questions? If Star own by me, i can sit at home and shake my leg without working. Ha ha ha~

请假２

昨天 WIP 会议的时候，全公司的同事被 COO 训得体无完肤。在我们看来，COO 是想借刀杀人。透过我们教训一些工作时间不做工，只会每次开会时耍太极的人。来来去去只有一、二个 accounts，却每天说自己忙不过来。基本上应该出去做 client servicing，却不知为什么每天坐在公司里不晓得做些什么。公司的 billing 不是很好，却把自己的责任推来推去（又是那招，耍太极！）。还有那些经常请事假、病假（有时可以连续两个星期请好几天的 EL 或 MC），还是尤其喜欢在星期一或五请假的人。COO 在会议上宣布，如果有谁经常在星期一或五请假超过三次，就会被发 warning letter 或没出席的那天就会是无薪。

会议结束后，带来了很大的回响。大部分的人都怨声连连(尤其是害群之马组)，还有些诅咒 COO 祖宗十八代。后来，我还听说了这些人要辞职呢，因为不满公司的待遇等等。很快，就听见有一、两个人“准备丢信”了（听好，只是准备哦，还没行动的）。在现在这个时世，失业连连、裁员不断，甚至每天都会听见有公司面临倒闭的状况的时候，他们还会那么天真辞职吗？我很怀疑。而且在我看来，要不是这些人每次都滥用病假与事假，这件事就不会演变成现在这样。还要连累到我们这些无辜“小市民”。。。最糟糕的就是我需要在下个星期连续请两个星期一呢。。。

昨天下午临放工时，带着战战兢兢的心，我总于还是递上了我的假日表给批假的 COO。感谢主的是，他不是那么不讲道理。虽然也问了一些问题，比如为什么需要请假等等。也还好我平日的工作表现不是那么差，也不是害群之马里的成员。而且，基本上每一次的 WIP 与 training 我都鲜少缺席的（他还说他知道）。最后的最后，经历许多担忧与忐忑不安后，我的假还是批了～好开心哦！

梦

昨晚发了一个超级噩梦。。。

这一生人，最怕就是牙齿有事。可能一来自己很爱吃，想象一下如果没有了牙齿，在美味的美食摆在眼前都不会有多大的食欲吧！

或许是日有所思，也有所梦？还是我的梦其实是给我的一些提示吗？

我梦见下排的右犬牙掉了。。。是毫无理由就掉了。我尝试把它再放到牙床犬牙掉出来的位置上，可是却无补于事。。。我很恐惧，也很痛，很失望。那种感觉，就好像失去了一个很重要的东西一样。。。就后来，跟着又有两颗牙齿陆续掉了下来。。。非常可怕！！后来，我就醒了。。。

something i got from the internet about tooth loss in dream...
source from here

Losing teeth in dreams can also point to insecurity about finances. In physical waking life, teeth are what we use to take in sustenance, to keep our bodies fit and nourished, and they are often lost when malnutrition is present. In order to take in nourishment we must be able to 'support' ourselves. Are you worried that you will lose the ability to take care of yourself or are you already not taking care of your needs? Nourishing ourselves comes in many forms, not just our bodily needs--we must nourish our minds, spirits, and hearts as well as our bodies. Is there any aspect of your life that feels like an empty hole?

Tooth loss dreams may also symbolize a fear of abandonment, of being left behind with no recourse. Look at your relationships and see if any of them are leaving you with feelings of insecurity.

Another interesting way of translating tooth loss dreams may be a fear of giving away too much information, a spilling of secrets, or a fear of being lied to.

周末

上班族如我，一到周末特别懒。一星期工作五天，就只得两天可以充充电，让自己多“休息休息”。我的休息，就真的是休息 -- 一天睡足至少16小时。

还有最后一篇北京出走记还没提得起心打。即使在家没事做，也懒。看见房里的床，更是忍不住往上躺。一躺，就会不省人事几小时了。

周末，就这样快过去了。明天，又是新的一周，新的一天。

something meaningful to share

My colleague sent this to me. It's so meaningful...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man!

That night, we didn't talk to each other.. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; I had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, 30% shares of my company and the car. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take backwhat I had said for I loved Dew so dearly.

Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to> > be firmer and clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy.

Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Dew about my wife s divorce conditions. She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset.

I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest.. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me; she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.

Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind... I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at me, astonished. Then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death does us apart.

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card.. I smiled and wrote: 'I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart'

The small details of our lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, the property, the bank balance that matters. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you, but if you do, you just might save a marriage. Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.

We teach some by what we say We teach some more by what we do. But we teach most by what we are - Unknown.
