生活点滴:不要吃太多


原来 team building 的华文是「团队建设」,我好像找过这翻译,但又忘了。

今天是我工作部门的 team building。

但四项活动里两样是吃(早、午餐),一样是坐着看戏和吃爆米花,只有一样才真的是有团队建设的活动。

所以我叫它 tummy building。

出门时老婆仔跟我说:

不要吃太多哦。

去 tummy building 你竟然叫我不要吃太多,怎么 build tummy 哦?” 我说。

等下连裤带都需要脱掉。

我在笑声中离开。

傍晚带着吃不完的午餐回到家,告诉老婆仔:

今晚都是不用煮我的晚餐了。

老婆仔笑说:

tummy building 成功!

Readers' behaviour


Did a social experiment three years ago to better understand the reader base for this blog.

Basically, to find out how many readers check this blog by their own initiative, and how many only read when I happen to post the link to a specific entry on Facebook.

What I did was I posted on Facebook the links to every single entry in February as I uploaded them, then didn't post any for March, and check the view count.

 

It's quite apparent that only a handful of people check the blog without any prompt, or maybe those were all from myself, hehe. =P

Slowpoke


Half the year gone, and I am only about two-thirds through my ninth book.

Reading way too slow this year.

Bollocks.

生活点滴:不要讲到好像真的那样


如果我单独和女性朋友出去,我习惯性的会和老婆仔讲先。

她总会说不需要告诉她的哦,然后我就会开玩笑说免得她的线人给她打小报告。

几天前晚餐时老婆仔突然问到:

今天午餐你吃什么?

唔?老婆仔几乎从来都不问的哦。

今天同事们一点钟有会议,所以我们在公司的餐厅吃。

然后我坏坏的加一句:

为什么突然会问的?你的线人跟你讲了什么?

老婆仔也笑笑开始篇故事:

说看到你和一个女人出去,还抱了她。

哇!幸好我有整个餐厅的人作证。

说因为她肯跟你生女儿喔。

欸,有说服力喔,突然间整个故事的可信度提高了。

然后我们就笑成一团。

父亲节不要看面子书


面子书里爸爸和女儿的照片常常有。

父亲节时特别多。

如果你和我一样,渴望有个女儿但上一世没有情人…

父亲节时就不要看面子书了。

只有干羡慕人的份,显到~

Loyalty


Running Man, the original Korea version, has been a disappointment lately.

The whole tour-themed series since the two new members joined has been boring. Good thing it's finally over.

Not sure if it's the theme, the games, the cast interaction, or the editing, but it's just not entertaining like it used to be.

I am watching out of loyalty, and hoping from this week onwards they will do better.

The China version has been entertaining, feel like I am being disloyal for liking the China Running Man more lately.

Three times


There is a saying that important things should be repeated three times, for example:

This is a fantastic blog!
This is a fantastic blog!
This is a fantastic blog!

You really should read every single entry starting from the very beginning. =P


Anyway, in my new job role, I have to read logs. Not something I like but I am playing the waiting game.

Going through a particular log today, where everything was repeated three times, unnecessarily making the file size three times larger, d'oh!

I guess no one has ever bothered reading this particular log, including the one who created it. Says a lot about the validation process.

Kind of lose the emphasising power when everything is repeated three time.
