第十个

晚餐后和妻子聊天，谈到她干妹的婚事，说仅是订婚钻戒或婚纱就多过我们整个婚礼的费用。

干妹的未婚夫是个剃光头的有钱人，我带点自嘲的说：

“都不知道为什么你要嫁给我？光头是光头，但是是个穷光头，应该像你干妹那样嫁个有钱的嘛。”

“嫁给你的时候你还有头发，过后才变光头。”

“变光头还可以啦，因为十个光头九个富嘛，怎么知道你是第十个。”

“哈哈哈！你好可怜。”

妻子也噗嗤一笑。

我想，唯一我还可以说的应该也只有‘我很丑，可是我很温柔’吧？

Dinner with the ladies, part three

Apparently, disclosing their eating capability hasn't got me banned, as I was invited to another dinner with the ladies this evening.

^_^

Though I think as a revenge, they tagged me as a kettle for the one dinner that I missed because I was on business trip. Don't mess with the ladies. -_-"

This time it's also a birthday dinner, but unlike last time, this time we had cake and song!

Home made cake by wifey and birthday song led by the shameless evil one*, totally against the birthday aunty girl's wish.

*me ler!

Today I was a bit** blur so I may not recall all the topics chatted. Think there were talks about when the aunties girls knew each other in high school (felt so left out), about eyebrows, about pregnancy, about baby, sleeping with baby, giving baby shower, baby delivery and reminder to take some throat soothing medication or supplement before going into the delivery room so can scream and shout with gusto (needless to say it's Yours Truely who said that =P).

**okay okay, more blur than usual

Well, the trend of increasing lady count didn't continue. Though I am still stuffed today, so that part is still same old same old. =P

As usual, a very joyous evening. Thanks ladies! =)

21 days is a long time

Started an experiment slightly less than two weeks ago. I wasn't the gung ho one who committed this in front of everyone, but I am sadly the lowly cheap labour being assigned to get my hands dirty and make it happen.

It's not like this is the first time anyway. Really. If only my tai chi is good, or I am also one of those 'talkers'. Honest worker can't prosper it seems.

Oh well, knew all along there is a downside to upholding my principles.

Anyway, experiment went smoothly for a week then it started to go haywire. Not surprised, and it's nothing I couldn't handle. Yet.

Mind, it's a 24/7 experiment for 21 days straight, I would be surprised if it went without a hiccup or two. As the experiment nearing the end of the first week, I had to give the system a kick or two to keep things going.

At the beginning of the second week I had to conduct full day training for three days straight. Yes yes, I know, it boggles the mind that I am a trainer. Sometimes I find it hard to believe as well. =P

So the other unfortunate colleague who got assigned to run this shit lovely experiment had to take over. He is a good bloke really, but his experience in the system is somewhat limited.

And of course Murphy's Law had to strike then, in the morning when I started my class, the experiment went belly up. The colleague tried his best, I am sure he did. He took the initiative to seek help troubleshooting while I was not available, it's a pity he didn't get the right person.

So the experiment went down for three days until I was done with the training and was able to go have a look. After a quick check I realised the root cause wasn't what the colleague suspected, it's something beyond my capability. But I know which expert to call, so the experiment was up and running again later that day.

Darn you Murphy! If only you picked a time when I wasn't otherwise engaged.

Ever since this experiment started, I had been checking my e-mails every night on weekdays, before I go to sleep. On weekends, work e-mail is the first thing I check as soon as I wake up, then again after lunch, and the usual before sleep.

This is totally ruining my slacker reputation! =\

Oh, and the non-existent work/life balance.

Saw the dreaded 'system down' e-mail this morning. I covered last weekend so this weekend is under my colleague's care, but I figured I better go get it sorted out so that's exactly what I did.

I have no life whatsoever. >_<

You know, 21 days suddenly felt like such a long time. I am really looking forward to the end of this experiment. Still a tad more than a week to go, another weekend.

And I could really use a karaoke session after that.

男人不是人

夫妻俩除了分享快乐就是要分担痛苦的嘛，所以今天我向老婆仔抱怨诉苦。

讲了好一阵她都无动于衷，于是我忍不住问了句：

“怎么你都不同情我的？”

“哼？男人也会要人同情的乜？不是只要听解决方法的啊？”

“什么啦！当然也是要人同情啦！”

“男人也是人来的。”

“是乜？”

“！！！”

*惊*〔王祖蓝的‘我接受唔到咯！’〕

呆了好一阵。

“是的，男人也是人来的…”

过后老婆仔才解释说她的‘是乜？’是回应我的‘当然也是要人同情啦！’

哈哈！=P

中了「那些年」的毒

看了「那些年，我们一起追的女孩」那部电影后，我开始听「那些年」这主题曲。

听了「那些年」好几遍后我开始点击观看You Tube里和「那些年」有关的幕后花絮和网民上载的相关影片。

其中有个是九把刀和几位演员出现在戏院里给台湾影迷一个惊喜的，柯导九把刀在问答环节中的一些答案真的是棒极了。

两天前，我去书局买了九把刀「那些年，我们一起追的女孩」的小说。今天中午我看完了这生平第二本爱情小说。

我看的第一本爱情小说（妻子买的）是Cecelia Ahern写的「PS, I Love You」，也是看过电影后才看小说的。所以「那些年」可是我生平买的第一本爱情小说，和我生平看的第一本中文爱情小说！

现在我很想要看未剪的完整电影，甚至认真考虑要收藏。

天啊！我想，我真的是中毒了。

真是的，明明就是他人的爱情故事，我干吗要被那些情怀感染？

搞得心里情感起伏滔天，感触很深，久久不能释怀。

真是莫名其妙！

不过也因为看过电影和小说后都会被唤起这样的感觉，我给个： 9/10

Home Alone, extended version

Ten days, extended to fifteen because the kings want to stay at the in-laws' a while longer.

Why oh why does no body miss daddy? =(

And only because his mommy said he has to ask me for the extension, that my elder son reluctantly talked to me on the phone, after all those days being away. Both the kings didn't want to talk to me.

And on some days, even my wifey didn't want to talk to me, preferring the television and the mahjong.

Why oh why does no body love me? =(

While they are having fun over at the in-laws', abandoning me to grow spiderweb and cultivate mushrooms, I have fallen ill to a serious case of hug withdrawal.

Hug Withdrawal

Cause:

Prolonged hug deficiency and insufficient cuddling.

Symptoms:

Depression, bolster obsession, moodiness, hug-related fantasies, mentally imbalance, anti-socialism, not-a-happy-bunny-ness.

Cure:

Hugging and cuddling. For best effect, fondle loved one passionately.

Initially the title was Hug Withdrawal, but I like this title more. =)
