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.

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.
