有感而发：够了够了

初稿于二零一五年九月十一日。

唉…

一个“不小心”面子书的朋友加过三百。

刚开始加入面子书时我告诉自己，有一百个就已经太多了。

但没想到就算我只加认识的人，原来一百个朋友蛮快就加到了。

有点意外但我没有做些什么，认识的人要加我我还是继续接受。

应该是两百过后开始认真过滤，认识但不熟的就算了吧，反正加了彼此也不会关注对方的状况。

没有删掉已加了那些认识但不熟的，感觉没有礼貌，但也不再加这一类的了。

我这个反社会反交际的宅男对那些有几百几千面子书朋友的人有点鄙视贬义的。

名人哦？公众人士啊？交际花？

真的有这样多值得关心留意近况的朋友咩？每天的时间都只用在看面书而已是不是？

可能真的有吧，但不是我这反社会反交际的人可以明白的。

我想，在我的交际圈子里，真的比较好的，要天天关心天天在乎的，应该只有三十位以下吧？

我要的是质不是量。

但竟然已有三百多面子书朋友了，看来我应该鄙视自己了。

This one is dated 13th of July 2014, it's titled "magic water".

You will need to know Mandarin, Hokkien and Manglish to understand this.

It's a conversation after a karaoke session. Pretty much all the karaoke sessions with my usual k-buddies were funfilled and full of laughter. What made this particular session special was a sudden change of one of the k-buddies.

She was usually not as active as the others, tend to listen more than sing. Until that session, when she just changed. Like, completely changed.

Throughout the karaoke she drank frequently from her bottle, which she claimed to contain plain water. Yea, "water".

She is a totally different person since that karaoke session. And yes, we think it's because of the "water".

So if you need a little help to open up, let go, and sing without a care, then I recommend the "water" from this k-buddy. =P

Rubik's Cube

I think I have mastered the Rubik's Cube.

Today. Finally.

It's really just memorising the various steps given the different configurations possible, and I think I have got them down now.

Let's hope I can remember the steps for a long, long time.

Perhaps I have to keep on practising to not forget.

心的频道：多情种

因为我每周在看的韩国综艺节目里的一些对话而去追看了个中国恋爱真人秀。

刚刚终于看完了第一季。

怎么就是这么容易被这些东西感动？

明明就知道是秀来的，那些名人很多都是演员嘞，拍完秀就完工收钱人散的嘞，而且有些地方也太做作了啦。

真实生活里他们拍完那秀后当然没有在一起啦，就好像其它戏里的爱情一样，只是戏里而已。

但情感还是被牵着，跟着感动、开心、感伤、不舍。催泪的情节真的触动到心里。

总希望恋人们都可以美满的在一起，结局到了看一对对情侣说拜拜散伙时真的好感伤失落哦。

干嘛我要那么多情的被牵动情感啦？真是的。

安息吧，圆圆

有一阵子，两个瓜吵着要养鱼。

不要傻啦，小孩子说要养宠物最终都是变成父母在养的啦，所以老婆仔和我都没同意。

但是齁，邻居太太听了两个瓜这样讲过后就送了几只小鱼儿给他们。

没有意外的那些小鱼们很快就去鱼的天堂了。

奇怪的是，老婆仔竟然因此而兴起，自己跑去买了几条金鱼来养。

老婆仔叫它们东、南、西、北，我叫它们肥肥、胖胖、泡泡、圆圆。

照片是二零一四年十二月尾拍的。

圆圆不知什么事翻了肚，只能颠倒的、靠近水面的活着。

我很担心它吃不到鱼食，喂食后我会待一会看它到底有没有吃到。

它总会游得很快，不停地绕着鱼缸边沿转圈圈，不停地吃一口又一口的水，希望会幸运的把一些浮在水面的鱼食吸入。

我总是觉得它根本没有吃到咯，但它很坚强的活了下来。

圆圆是那么的顽固坚强，它竟然是四兄弟姐妹（我根本不知道它们的性别）中最长命的。

在肥肥、胖胖、泡泡、甚至一些老婆仔再买的第二批金鱼死翘翘后，圆圆还是颠倒但很坚强的活着。

但是，昨天它归西了。

安息吧，圆圆。

希望你在鱼的天堂里不会再颠倒了。

不然你就去鱼的马戏团当表演倒立的小丑鱼吧。

还有齁，你看到肥肥记得笑它活该！贪吃鬼把自己吃到变成巨无霸，结果饱死。

Backlogs #10

This one is dated 19th of June 2015, it's titled "recipient's fault".

I made, collected signatures, and gave tiny birthday card to colleague friends for a few years, something that I have stopped doing this year. Since some friends are not in the same site as me, often I would need some form of postal service to get the cards to the intended recipient.

Either I passed the cards to a neighbouring colleague when I popped over to the other site so he or she could deliver the card on the day, or I would pass the cards to a colleague who was commuting in between sites.

Thank you to all these helpful postmen and postladies. =)

I like to give the card on the day, or before, and tried not to be late, but we didn't always succeeded. It's usually not our fault though.

So if you were one of the lucky persons who got a card, and you didn't get it in person but only saw it left on your cubicle after your birthday, well... it's YOUR fault! =P

Didn't have the grace to be present when such important delivery was made huh? Shame on you! =P

At what price?

At what price trust?

What is the monetary value you would place for trust?

At what price friendship?

What would you do for friendship?

I just learned of this phrase today: "Some talk to you in their free time and some free their time to talk to you. Learn the difference."

I like the phrase a lot.

Notes

There are people who think they own the road. Selfish bastards.

Bored little monsters are like kenders. Beware!

Television, game console, portable game console, mobile phone game, tablet game. Kids' glue.

Honey lemon, nutmeg juice, siraitia grosvenorii drink, old coconut juice with black bean and ginger, Coke. Cough remedies?

Good food, big meals, family reunions, friends gatherings, red packets, fireworks. Chinese New Year.

Coughing my lungs out

Ever since my cross year fever, I have been coughing.

I have tried my trusty honey and lemon drink for a week. Still coughing.

I have tried, and still do since I have two big bottles of it, the nutmeg drink recommended by a friend for two weeks now. Still coughing.

I have tried the siraitia grosvenorii (罗汉果) drink recommended by mom for three or four days. Still coughing.

Heck, I have also tried the coughing medicine given by the doctor that made me drowsy. Still coughing.

And throughout all these, I have shied away from cold drink.

Bollocks to all that! I will just drink chilled Coke instead now since none is making a difference.

It would be real irony if I actually stop coughing after I drink chilled Coke.

Could happen.

立春

今天立春，既是猴年了。

希望大家猴年里会健康快乐，顺心顺意。

尤其是我自己。

希望自己可以有好的一年。

Random Thoughts

- Rusty old man -

Hurt my back again. Bollocks.

Felt discomfort when I arrived office after the hour drive this morning. Unconsciously started to walk like a person with back ache.

Felt it again after coming back from lunch. Subtle. There, and not there.

The badminton session aggravated it, now it's not subtle. Oh yea, it's definitely there.

Bollocks.

- Lunch buddies -

The gang is back. Mostly.

Lunch in sizable group again.

The chatters, jokes, poking fun at each others. The laughters.

Yea, good times.

- Solace, not -

Home has too much anger, stress, disappointment, shouting and crying lately.

Where's the love, the harmony, the peace and quiet?

It's supposed to be my sanctuary from work, from stress, a place to relax and recharge.

Now there is no solace.

- Oath breaker -

You broke your promise.

I can't believe it. But you did.

I am really disappointed.

I don't like you anymore.
