All the way to the Earth


During shower, Hsiang said...

Mama, I love you all the way to the Earth.

Earth? We are on Earth. You meant the centre of the Earth?

Yes. How much do you love me?

I love you all the way to the moon. That's further away from the centre of the Earth, so I love you more.

Really?

Yes.

Yes yes?

Yes yes.

Okay, I love you all the way to the sun.

The sun is further than the moon, hmm... then I love you all the way to Jupiter.

I love you all the way to a far far place that you cannot measure. I love you to infinity.

I love you all the way to infinity and beyond! (Hsiang likes Buzz Lightyear)

Ya ya, I love you that as well.

After shower...

Papa, I love you all the way to the toothbrush.

Huh? Toothbrush? That's very near. =(

Hahaha!

What a day


Took the day off, because I am hitting my annual leave limit and don't want any additional leave to burn, as well as because there's a karaoke and a wedding ceremony to attend.

Woke up for no apparent reason in the middle of the night, but after that I slept till late this morning, no small feat considering the number of people in the house currently, including three boys who can really bring down the house. =P

-----

After the predictable drop outs and change of minds and last minute cancellations, there were eight of us in the karaoke session. The exact number we booked the room for, despite the actual number of people who said they would go being a lot higher.

Heh, I know these unruly kittens and their tricks. Gonna heed the advice of don't bother asking them next time. Except those whom I have promised will inform. A promise is a promise.

Was a fun session, the core gang was there, and with them around, hilarity and merriment guaranteed. ^_^

I got to shout my head off in a few songs, so I am satisfied. Susan amazed us with her flawless singing of a few Chinese songs, atta girl, respect! Really, hats off to you.

Guess it will be a few months until our next session.

-----

God-sister-in-law's wedding ceremony today.

For the closeness between wifey's family and her, and her closeness to wifey and our kids, she is just like a sister-in-law really, blood or no blood.

Seaside garden wedding ceremony at Parkroyal Hotel. The exact same place we had ours seven years and ten months ago, down to the date. The settings, the celebrant, the nosy tourists, the white suit. Sure brought back a lot of sweet memories.

Typically, camera battery died as soon as things got going, oh well. So just take my word for it, the bride's stunningly gorgeous and the groom's looking extremely smart in a white suit.

Lovely couple.

Good old Adam the honoured celebrant, still pronouncing the 'h' in honour after so many years. What silent 'h'? Guess some things just don't change. =)

Lovely wedding ceremony, thank you so much for inviting us to be part of it.

The food in the reception that followed the cermony was better than I expected. I really like the beef and the chicken. That dessert thingy with banana inside was nice too. The mango pudding was meh though. =P

And there's fireworks! And of course quality time with family and the in-laws, simply priceless.


A really wonderful day today. Me is happy. =D

Random Thoughts


- masochist -

After five years, on a rare happening, the thing that I have given up as dead revives.

What's there to lose, eh?

Depression - checked. Mentally imbalance - checked. Antisocial - checked. Head damaged - checked. And it's not like I have anymore hair...

So I took the plunge.

And the cursing begins.

This time round, there is no more hair pulling, substituted with head banging.

-----

- stress transfer -

Coming soon, stress transfer session, starring me and a bunch of victims friends.

Stress transfer? Think of it like heat transfer, just instead of heat moving from hot region to cold region, it will be stress moving from me to the victims others, or vice versa depending on the (lack of) vocal prowess.

The chosen medium for this stress transfer session is the air, to be precise, the waves of pressure that propagates through it.

Vocal cords are to be the source of the oscillation of pressure, coupled with healthy lungs capacity.

^_^

Based on my ability to produce high pitch banshee like sound that I pretend is singing, I have high confidence that I will be the stress releaser, while those around me will be the receiver.

Stress transfer, tada!

*Muahahahahaha!* =P

现实是很残酷的


都忘了是讲什么笑话,只记得我可真是觉得好笑的,但老婆仔无动于衷。

我有点纳闷无趣地问:“为什么你都不笑的?真的那么不好笑咩?

老婆仔给了几声很勉强的假笑。

还是我真的只是会讲冷笑话罢了,有没有很冷?

老婆仔又给了几声很勉强的假笑。

以前我随便讲什么你都会笑的,现在不会了的?你不爱我了啊?”我嘟着嘴问。

以前要骗你嘛,这样傻傻呆呆的男人很难找,所以要赶快骗回来做老公。”老婆仔这次是真笑了。

………我…我好伤心哦…” =(

老婆仔很开心的笑了。

真的不是我啦!


有点挣扎,不知应该怎么写这篇文章,但偏偏又很固执的要记录下这件事。

真是的,我怎么总爱自作自受?有够呆! >_<

我想,这将会是很长气的一篇文章。

-----

今天是猫步小姐的生日,我清早用简讯给她送上生日祝贺。

猫步小姐是其中一位在我刚刚开始工作,还懵懵懂懂时*,主动伸出友谊之手,对我好帮我融入工作环境的同事。这样的同事,是要好好珍惜的。
*现在还是一样懵懵懂懂…

很幸运的,猫步小姐和我没有八字不合,渐渐成了要好的朋友(至少我是这样认为)。我想她喜欢唱 K 到会抢麦克风那种,和她那疯疯癫癫的性格,是我们成为朋友的主要原因吧? =)

很不幸的,猫步小姐几年前离开了公司,和她老公到他州工作。我可是惆怅了好一阵,真的,办公室没有了她,欢乐气氛大幅度降低。 =(

我怀念的,竟然是她的疯疯癫癫。

几天前,猫步小姐和她老公在他州赚到银行户口爆满后终于回到槟州的一间工厂工作。 *喜悦* =D

之前她告诉我们这决定时我们还开玩笑的讨论她要怎么样在迎新会里把老公丢在一旁去泡仔勾帅哥,呵呵! =P

唔,有点离题,让我转回正题。

今天是猫步小姐的生日,我清早用简讯给她送上生日祝贺后我如常的用电子邮件通知同事朋友今天是她的生日。是的,我是有做提醒别人某某人生日这种有损我邪恶形象的事的。

下午猫步小姐来了封电子邮件问我花是不是我们这群死党送的?

呃?

我照实说据我所知,不是喽。除非死党中有人暗恋你很久又从没有告诉我们私自送的喽。我想是你的秘密仰慕者吧?

我把死党的邮址都加入在我答复她的电子邮件中。

真是大错误。

电子邮件大爆炸!而且不知道为什么会在确定不是她老公送的后其中一个死党讲成是我送的,来来往往的电子邮件最后讲到好像我是她的秘密仰慕者那样。

点解?!?!你们要害死我是不是?等下猫步小姐很大只的老公来揍扁我就惨了啦!

哎哟!我是这样的人咩?如果是我送的我一定会写下我的名,还写到大大那种。然后我早就公布全世界了啦!开玩笑,做了这样的事还不号练咩?

再说,我这样 cheap 的人,送嘛也是送亲手做的生日卡这种廉价的东西的嘛。有心,可是廉价。就连恶搞的「礼物」,好像包车,包办公室,换假车牌,搬空办公室等等,也是用报纸啊,厚纸皮啊这些廉价的东西的啦。

我这样直肠直肚直性情直接,连身材都是瘦瘦直直的人嘞,不玩什么秘密仰慕的。我可是很光明正大的仰慕猫步小姐的哦!

(猫步小姐的老公,请不要买凶杀我!)

Bad Hair Day?


His Royal Highness Boy King Hsiang likes his hair spiky lately, think it's some kind of trend at his kindergarten.

He likes making a centre spike with his hair whenever it is wet. He likes it so much wifey is contemplating buying hair gel for him.

Here's a collage from a few days ago. ^_^


Well, enjoy it while it last, boy. And pray that your hair genes are from mom and not from me...

路人甲


路人甲啊路人甲

何时你才会明白

「别人」的家事

你无权过问,无需知晓

你不是他们生活的一份子

仅是赚钱的驴子

寄宿的外人

你只是路人甲

Crazy Category


I have wanted to write this entry for a while now, just never got to it. Slacker point +1

Most bloggers categorised their entries, so do I. Though instead of using generic labels like travel, food, photography; or bombastic ones hoping to get more hits from search engines, e.g. sex, super deal, 'name of latest famous-for-no-reason person', I went with those listed under Crazy Category.

And in case you haven't noticed, every label is made up of words starting with the same alphabets. I put some thoughts into the labels, and yes, that is also why it's called the Crazy Category. ^_^

I like it that way, and because I can. =P

Here's a brief introduction of each category, so you know what kind of entry you can expect if you click on the label to list only entries of a certain category.

enjoyable events: account of meaningful events that I cared enough to write and post.

fictitious fiction: unlike the rest of the entries, these are made up entries not based on real event, my attempts at writing story mostly.

geeky gaming: games! Can be about card games, board games, computer games, or toys.

goofy gibberish: jumble of thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, wishful thinkings that I do not intend to explain, but are perfectly clear to me when I reread them. These are the siok sendiri (self gratifying) entries. These are not intended to be understood by others unless you can somehow read my mind, or you know me really really well. Often contain hidden meanings.

gross graffiti: hand drawn stuff. I kept the originals in case I become famous in the future. One can dream... =P

hyped up heads up: heads up, stuff I think worth attention and be aware of. And no, they are not hypes. ^_^

nutty nuts: my favourite category! These are entires with my brand of humour or craziness, i.e. nuttiness. Funny, crazy, naughty, evil stuff. The blog tagline 'May contain nuts. View at your own risk.' refers to this, bet you didn't know that! =)

quack quack: this label is exclusively for the Ducky & Friends series, which is kind of a social experiment really. You know, perhaps I can share through comic strips to those who don't like to read?


rotten reviews: reviews of books, movies, games and other stuff. And no, they are not really rotten. =P Of course, like all reviews, they are totally subjective!

runaway rants: rants! Complaints! Grumbles! Whines! Of which I have many. Grumpy Old Man is one of my nicks after all. Not a happy place.

sane side: the serious stuff, often sombre, heavy. Things that are really important to me.

shutter speed: all things photography related.

temperamental thoughts: random thoughts, of which I have plenty! Hence this is probably the category with the highest count. I think too much! =P

tiresome travels: anything to do with travelling, no matter tiresome or not, goes under here. Me old, travel is tiring, jet lag and all that...

vibrant vocabularies: vocabulary! Words or phrases that I found interesting, funny, or just plain weird. Also translation and butchering of languages, e.g. aeroplaned.

猪脚先生?


以前的我比较阴毒无情,认为敢讲敢做就要敢当,所以记叙身边发生的趣事时会用真名。

多数的 受害者 人都不在乎,很大方开得起玩笑,毕竟我从未刻意诽谤或抹黑,写实而已嘛。

过后终于有了点(只是一点!)良知,开始会保护别人的私隐权,所以便用外号匿名,特别是写那些可能会令人难为情或糗窘的东西时。

毕竟不是每个人都像我这样不要脸,有些人是很在乎自己的形象的。加上我的朋友已经够少了啦,搞不好没有人要和我聊天讲废话我会很惨的! >_<

我用的外号匿名可不是无中生有的哦!

好啦好啦,有些是我取的啦,但大多数是当事者或他人取的哦。每个外号匿名都有它们背后的故事的。 ^_^

就如上篇文章提到猪脚先生,我可不是在丑化真人哦,那外号的来源可是非常强而且蛮搞笑的。请看!



请问,我怎能不用猪脚先生这匿名来称呼上篇文章的主角呢? =P
