捐款,是我唯一能做的事。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
虽然款项微不足道,但冀望至少能为他们出一点绵力。</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
尼泊尔,是我一个向往的国家。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
印象中,她是个和平,与世无争和美丽的国度。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
尤其是神秘的喜码拉雅山峰,更是我最想要去的地方之一。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
一场地震,几乎把她毁了。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
我的公司有100-200个来自尼泊尔的员工。虽然大部分的家属都平安,但一个员工的爸爸却在这场地震中不幸丧生了。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
公司也非常快速地为他筹款。我捐了10块钱。还是那句话,虽然微不足道,但至少能减轻他的负担,毕竟他的工资不多。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
那天我见到了那个员工,他的眼神里还是悲伤的。本想跟他说几句安慰的话,但最终还是把话吞进肚子里,因为不懂会否勾起他的伤心。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
另外一个员工的爸爸的手臂听说被压毁了。那天也见他在工作的时候眼中有泪。我也不懂要说些什么安慰的话。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
但愿尼泊尔的人民能坚强地挨过这个难关。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
天佑尼泊尔。</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

我曾经提过,希望旅行的意义不只是吃美味的食物和拍下美丽的风景。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
体验异国本土人的生活,聆听他们的故事,才是我想寻找的。</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
四个月前的越南之旅,让我第一次有这种感觉。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
照片中,坐在第一排的女人是我们的导游。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
她说了很多越南从世界第二大战至现代国家发展的故事,当中也包括她自己的生活故事。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
从她充满生命力的故事里,我领悟,生活再怎么困难,我们还是要勇敢地活下去。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
路,一直都在。</div>

刚刚读了一篇叶剑锋写的文章。那文章写到他的父母从小到大给了他很高的自由度。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
其实,我也一样。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
在小学的时候,我的英文超烂。但妈妈也只是在过目我的成绩册时罗嗦几句。除此之外,她不曾过问我的学业。爸爸因为长期在邻国工作,所以他也不曾过问。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
到了中学,情况也是如此。我也不曾让他们担忧。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我想,如果我有孩子的话,我也会让他和她享有这份自由。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
之前曾经跟同事讨论这个课题。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我担心我没能给他和她足够的自由。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我害怕虚荣心会蒙蔽我的眼。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我希望我不是虎爸,当然也希望她不是虎妈!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
根据现在的情况(我可是半个兼职保姆),我可能是半个虎爸。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
因为小孩嚎啕大哭的时候我真的无能为力。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
但我发誓,我不曾对小孩动手。虽然曾弄哭他们 (唉,没办法)。</div>

<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">”爸爸要我继续读书,妈妈要我工作。“ 实习生Ata无奈地说。 </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">我很幸运。因为我不曾纠结在这个问题。</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">人在一生中必须不停地做选择,有好的,有不好的。</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">在做选择时,很多时候我会犹豫、彷徨。</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">但我会提醒自己:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">“You must make a </span><span style="color: red;">choice</span><span style="color: #252525;"> to take a </span><span style="color: lime;">chance </span><span style="color: #252525;">or your life will never </span><span style="color: blue;">change</span><span style="color: #252525;">." </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">我们谈到梦想。</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">他说他没有梦想。</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">更正确地来说,他曾经有梦想。</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">他曾经想过要当飞机师。当戴上眼镜后,梦想飘远了。</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;">他也想过要当足球员,因为他热爱这项运动。</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #252525;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">教练指着他说:“你可以离开了。”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">他问教练为什么。教练冷冷地说:“因为你戴眼镜。”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">原来,近视可以摧毁梦想。</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">自此以后,他失去了方向。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">他问我:“你觉得我应该继续读书或跑去工作?”</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">这问题有点始料不及。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">但我告诉他,这问题只有他自己能回答。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">他说要拿我的电话号码。我问为什么。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">他说他想要告诉我,他十年后的状况。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">如果他选择继续读书,他说要回来这间公司实习。</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">因为他要证明一些东西。</span></span><br />

I've been feeling unwell since Saturday morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The reason was because I stayed late in the Friday night playing games till 2:30 in the midnight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hmm, I wonder since when my body has become so weak. When I was in college and university, there would be no problem for me to stay up this late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess this is a sign of aging. But I am only 25. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...................................................................................................................................................................</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Year 2014 was a bit emotional to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 2nd half of it, in particular. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not going to talk about the unhappy stuffs, so let's talk about some happy stuffs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've claimed myself as the President of the "Go Out and Have Fun" club in the company. Haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I am organizer of some of the birthday parties, particularly of the colleagues of my department. including my manager. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was very fun. When I asked my colleague why we never did that in the past year, she said maybe we were "<i>sombong</i>"! Haha, I think it is true somehow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, it feels great that we have become ever closer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we have together created a new and positive working environment that never existed before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's more blessed to give than to receive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I understand a bit of it now. </div>

Anyway, year 2015 is finally here. So <span style="color: red;">Happy</span> <span style="color: blue;">New</span> <span style="color: #38761d;">Year</span>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year, I wrote my resolutions on a paper and locked it in the drawer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, I do not set any goals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because it could be very meaningless unless you act.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the best example that I can show to you is how I lost almost 30 kg back in summer 2010.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At that time, I did not set any goal at all. I just know I want to lose weight. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was determination and action that made it a success.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not saying that setting a goal or plan is not good, but it won't work unless you act.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, I want to be happy and enjoy every bit of my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I am doing my best to accomplish it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

When I was reading newspaper while waiting dinner to be served, something triggered me to recall my 4D3N getaway to Ho Chi Minh City last month. I forgot what the trigger was, but I think this trip is somewhat special to me. </div>

<br />
旅游的目的有很多:有些人为了疯狂购物,有些人为了治疗情伤,有些人为了工作,有些人为了逃避现实,有些人为了奖励自己,有些人为了体会“生活”这两个字。<br />
<br />
我一直希望能用“心”去体验旅游的每一点、每一滴。这一趟行程,我想是不错的开始。<br />
<br />
在街上,可以看见许多商店和酒店外都站着一位像是保安员的男人。我想,这里的治安有那么差吗?但这一些保安员身上都没有佩抢或任何武器,只是站或坐在店外,真的有这个需要吗?哎呀,忘了问酒店的接待员,或许可以得知一二。说到接待员,我还是第一次跟酒店的接待员聊天。因为除了酒店接待员,会说流利英文的人真是没几个。他还是大学生,就读英文系,明年就毕业了。<br />
<br />
让我好奇地是,胡志明市到底是贫穷或富有的?晚上经过星巴克,店里外都满座,而且都是当地人。早上走在街上,给我的感觉是,如果游客没了,这座城市可能会活不来。我想知道,在旅游的淡季 (导游说是5月-9月),这里会变成什么模样?此刻,又想起导游的话。她的故事,是这一趟行程最大的收获。<br />
<br />
每天,有五百万辆摩多骑在路上。太可怕了。也因为这样,我看见许多形形色色的面罩。这是这座城市别具一格的风情。但我可不想要尝试在这儿骑摩多,因为我非常确定我会被其他骑士咒死。他们的骑车技术我可能一生都学不来。当我走在人行道上,摩多会出现在你的身后,而我就得走快几步,以免阻碍他们。<br />
<br />
还有很多的故事可以写,但我有点倦了。是时候休息,为明天努力!<br />

I just came back from Ho Chi Minh City last Saturday night. It was a 4 days 3 nights getaway with a long-time friend. It was fun. The scenery and attractions was okay but the foods were amazing! Everyday I was looking forward to search for new foods. It was almost a food trip. In fact, I told my friend that this gonna be a food-craving trip. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But that's not all. I am also interested to get to know how people live their lives in this metropolitan city. To me, everyday is so happening in this city. There are approximately 5 million motorcycles on the road everyday. The population of Ho Chi Minh metropolitan area is around 9 millions, which means 55 % of citizens ride motorcycles. That's insane. My friend and I wandered around Districts 1 and 3 on foot from 8 a.m. till 10 p.m. everyday and we only saw several private cars. Others were just taxis and motorcycles. I wondered why there were a lot of motorcyclists during the weekdays. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We went to Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta, just like rest of the tourists. The tour guide was a lady, in her 30s I guess. Her name is Tinh, means <i>silent </i>or <i>quiet</i>. She spoke fluent English. That's really good because we hardly found anyone that can speak fluent English. She told the tourists on the bus to be happy and always smile or laugh because we never know what will happen tomorrow. And she repeated the same statement several times. She always said that to the tourists, She said that Vietnam is a communist country. The government gives you everything you want, but also controls everything. When she said that, her voice was a bit sad though I am not sure whether it was real or she was having flu. I think that's the truest and most honest statement of a communist country. Ho Chi Minh city's economics is heavily dependent on tourism. She said that the 2008 global economic crisis hit the country, there were only 4 tourists on the bus in the month of October (October - April is the peak season of tourism). So when tourists stop going to the city, the tourism industry was almost dead. The travel agency, the bus driver, and taxi drive felt the impact most. "Tourists becoming less and less, don't know why.", she added. This time, I can feel the sadness in her voice and it was real. To her, the bus driver, and the taxi driver and those working closely in tourism industry, tourist (us) is their bread and butter. On the bus to Mekong Delta on the next day, again she gave us piece of advice to live happily and don't worry too much. At the end of the tour on the boat, she sang two songs. I do not know the first song, but the chorus goes like "...what will be, will be...". The second song was "The End of the World". Ironic, eh? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She earned USD $10 per day and she know if the next global crisis hit the country, the consequence is destructive, yet she understand that we need to live in present and stop worrying about the future or let the past continue to haunt us. Yet it's difficult for most people, including myself. Although I constantly remind myself to live everyday happily, yet I can't stop worrying. Someday I will reach the peace of mind. I will. </div>

天下无不散之筵席。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
离别,是必然的。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
今天,知道又有一位同事要离职了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
心里不好受。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
虽然共事短短的一年,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
但非常欣赏他的能力与态度。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
还有一个月,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
正确来说是20个工作天,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
就好好地一起办事吧!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Our company had a Japanese customer's audit, just two days before the week of Hari Raya.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've learnt a lot from the audit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You might wonder whether Japanese can speak fluent English. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The truth is, they don't speak fluent English, but we can understand what they tried to delivered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they pay attention to very small details. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Basically, we were screwed. Sad but true. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the auditors told us a funny story about Malaysia's hotel. Actually not funny, since Malaysian who used to stay in local hotel already know about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He complained that there is no tooth brush in their hotel. And he was surprised. HAHA</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Furthermore, he said that it was the same in Singapore's hotels. He used to stay in a hotel in Singapore and he told us" There's nothing!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL, he's so funny. Malaysian and Singaporean hotel management should think about the lesson of the story. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

我承认,我不是一个好的领导人。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
做事心急,还摆臭脸。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
身边的一位技术人员,在星期六搬运东西的时候,被撞伤了脚踝。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
刚刚想起了,便拿起手机寄了一封简讯问他 “How's your leg?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
没想到,不过10秒钟,电话响起了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
拿起电话一看,原来是他打来的。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
接起了电话,他便一股气说了一大堆话。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我也问他的脚到底伤在哪儿,伤势如何。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
也问起我交待的工作进展如何。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
当我想向他交待明天的工作时,我停住了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
然后说明天再算吧。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
挂掉电话之前,他也不知为何说了几声Thank You </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我只说声Good night就挂掉电话了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
虽然他的工作不太积极,但跟了我1年9个月</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
他也对我很忠心,虽然我太常摆臭脸</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
看了那么多关于如何当一位伟大的领导人的文章</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
每一天,我还努力着, 学以致用。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

曾经听说过一个名句,好像是“新的旅程,不是去发掘新的东西,而是用新的角度去看事情。”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
过去几个星期,我开始在工作上有一点心不在焉。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
有一点失去了当初的把劲。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
在Twitter里写了“How to keep going? Lost the passions”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
好在有一位朋友回复我“keep calm and keep at it Kok Leong :)”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
有一股温暖的力量。嘴角微微上扬。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
一直以来,我都很努力工作。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
可是,却忘了如何享受工作。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
所以,从这个星期起,我慢了下来。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我也想看看这会带来什么改变。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
发觉某些朋友的心态变了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
变得更好了。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
我也乐观其变。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
一位很要好的朋友说他失恋了 (不懂是真是假)。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
他说过去的生活都一直围绕着别人而活。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
现在他要为自己而活。<br />
<br />
写到这里,不禁想起KevJumba的故事。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
想到我,一直都有一点自私。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
是时候改变自己。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
今天和两位同事聊天。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
其中一位说现在的年纪不去做,还要等几时。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
对,年轻就是本钱。是应该好好挥霍的。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
今年11月要去越南背包旅行。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
跟前3次不一样,这次换了拍档。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
一位认识了超过10年,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
但从没一起旅行的超熟好友。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
希望能带来不一样的体验。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
过去的旅游,都没结识到一位背包客。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
也希望这次能遇见一位。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
在2013年的最后一天,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
写了几个愿望。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
其中一个就是要寻找生活的意义。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
从现在起。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Just saw that my blog had 14,256 page views. Wow, never thought it would be that much! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tonight I got a little emotional after re-watching KevJumba's Youtube videos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honestly, I really like his videos, his personality, and his dad, PapaJumba. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think he's thoughtful, honest, and true-to-himself. Some of his videos prompt me to re-evaluate my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's one year younger than me. Yet he's living by his own in his apartment in downtown L.A. since 1 year ago. And he's doing things he likes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am thinking what I live for? How am I able to fulfill my dreams? All kinds of things like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you, KevJumba. I need to do more.<br />

<br />
Would you quit your job? No, I won't, if you asked me now. Because I do love my job, although it's extremely difficult to deal with the daily production issues and what makes it even more difficult is the people. They give me headache almost every workday. But I still loves my job: challenging, unexpected, and it taught me life is never easy. Fight, fight, fight! I admit I am kinda workaholic. I think of my job every day, including weekends and off-days.<br />
<br />
Would I travel around the world? The answer is definitely YES! There's a old Chinese proverb said: “读万卷书,不如行万里路。”, meaning that go and travel thousands miles instead of readings thousands books. I totally agree. It's like theory versus practice. You're not Stephen Hawkins or Albert Eistein. Travel while young. That's what I believe. And I would love to do a cycling trip.<br />
<br />
Would I buy a new house? Oh yes! Everyone has his dream home. So am I. I do have many idea in my head how I am going to do the interior design. If I was filthy rich, buying a new house is one of my priorities.<br />
<br />
What else would I do? Hmm, I would start my own business, most probably a coffee house. Before that, I would have to become a professional barista first! Not a big fans of coffee, but I like cappuccino, also pizza, burgers, spaghetti, fish & chips, couscous, soups, and many more. Oh, I would do all these by my own.<br />
<br />
Also, I would donate portion of my fortunes for charities.<br />
<br />
Many things I could probably do. I still need to think of it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

He is a Christian. So the banquet was held in a very Christian way. First of all, all guests stood up and sang Christian songs; two in English and one in Mandarin. It was very new to me. And if you'd attended Chinese wedding banquet in the past, we would stood up and yell "yum sing" together with the bride and broom on the stage. This time, though, we were required to yell either "blessing" in English or "祝福“ in Cantonese. Seriously, I found it very weird and funny. And we did it first sitting on the chair. LOL...Then the MC might find it very weird too and so requested us to stand. Other than this, everything else is similar to Chinese's.<br />
<br />
Oh one more thing, we had a small mooncake instead of peanuts. Nice!<br />

今天是我第五次捐血。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
第一次是六年前。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
捐血原因很简单。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
为了健康。</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The quote is from the great late Steve Jobs, and I like this quote very very much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people believe the final result is what matters, some think the process is more important. Obviously, I am a supporter of the later thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gained tremendous experience from my first job; how to perform better and how to communicate with production associates effectively. The truth is, it's not easy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my colleagues told me: "The production associates are boat, we engineers are rowers, we row the boat to the right direction." And I think this is very true. If the boat sinks, we sink altogether. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am still far too weak and inexperience. There is a hell lot of challenge awaiting me ahead. Although there will be disappointment and struggle, I wish I can sail through the entire journey with a strong heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good Luck. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

And the world has not ended.<br />
<br />
Year 2012 was a phase-changing year.<br />
<br />
I sat for my last final exams as an undergraduate student in McMaster University and officially graduated on June 15, 2012. Argh, I missed so much the days I walked to campus wearing T-shirt, shorts and slippers under the sun in summer's mornings. <br />
<br />
After finishing my final exams, I travelled to Western United States in a car with a couple of friends. I went to my dream place -- San Francisco for the first time! Before that, we went to Colorado, Denver, Grand Canyon, and a couple of small towns. Damn, I like the peaceful small towns sooooooo much. It was such a pleasant and memorable experience. Almost forgot to mention one of the most liveable cities in the world -- Vancouver. Eh, I met a couple of old friends there. Other than that, the city is not cup of tea. Also, I travelled to the city that never sleeps -- New York. Erm, it wasn't my dream place, still it was a good trip.<br />
<br />
At the end of June, I came back to Ipoh and unemployed for a long period. Time wasted. Anyway, I went to several interviews but in vain. Then, I came to this company and has worked like hell till today. Well, I like the people and most importantly my job. I think I will stay here for at least a year.<br />
<br />
Let's hope the best in 2013!<br />
<br />

In English, it means I lose interest on something I used to fond of in a very short period of time. Early this year, I bought an acoustic guitar for 100 bucks. I even went to a guitar shop to change the strings and bought an electric tuner. Within 1 week, I already lost interest in playing the guitar. Eventually, I sold it to my junior. I also bought a novel 3 months ago and I thought I could finish it fast. You guessed it. I never finished it. They say this is one of the characteristics of a Geminian. Well, maybe.Calvin Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05900713863627968717noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302317998574874914.post-59147933533037766532012-10-28T23:18:00.003+08:002012-10-28T23:18:34.540+08:00Clay Pot Chicken Rice @ Menglembu It's been a while since I last updated my previous post. Now I am back because I found another hidden jewel in Ipoh. Since I am back to my lovely hometown about 4 months ago, I have been constantly craving for more yet-to-be-discovered Ipoh foods.<br />
<br />
I don't know the history of this shop but I believe it must be there for decades judging by its appearance. Its name is Cheong Kee Clay Pot Rice 昌记瓦煲饭. Although they put 驰名(English translation: famous) on their signboard, I wouldn't know its existence if it weren't for my friends. Well, you can blame me for not being observant because it's just located next to the Tenaga Nasional Berhard outlet behind Menglembu's Wet Market/Pasar Pagi. <br />

The owner seems to be in his 60's or 70's. Yet he has to take care of all the clay pots. As you can see, he uses the most traditional method for cooking the clay pot chicken rice. This makes the rice taste much better! </div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> The rice is soft but slightly too oily to my taste.</span> Hmm, I didn't smell any aroma of salted fish albeit they put a big chunk of it. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this traditional clay pot chicken rice. It's worthy to mention that the price is affordable compared to same food in other areas in Ipoh; only RM 4.50 for small one and you just add RM 4.00 for a big one. I will pay you another visit!<br />

It's a precious gift from God that reminds us to appreciate everyone and everything around you.<br />
<br />
I miss my campus life in Hamilton. I am free to do anything. I can walk to the Metro just 100 meters away from my rented house and buy 2 bags of Lay's chips and finish them in one hour. I can walk to school under the warming morning sun. I can take free bus ride to shopping mall and shop in my favourite H&M outlet. Or I can buy groceries at Dollarama where almost everything is only 2 Canadian Dollars. I miss those moments I joke to my coursemates. I miss the fresh air and the people.<br />
<br />
Yes, we grow bore when we become part of something for too long. Ironically we wish time could travel backwards so that we can retrieve those things we once take it for granted.<br />

And my first ever backpack experience to Cambodia back in summer 2009. I sweated a lot and lost 5 kg. </div>

<br />
Some people say that you only know what you truly want the moment before you die. And I think this is one of the truest phrases I have ever heard.<br />
<br />
Tonight, I surfed the <a href="http://www.ted.com/" target="_blank">TED website</a> and watched a video. To me, to help people to improve their lives is one of the best things to do. I may not make big money, but many months ago I made a wish that I could make monthly donation to <a href="http://www.ryanswell.ca/" target="_blank">Ryan's Well Foundation</a>.<br />

Sitting in front of the laptop, I think in my mind that I should make a list of 50 or 100 things I Wish to Do Before I Die. Looking at the black space as above, I am not sure what should I fill in. If you are interested, you can visit their website <a href="http://www.beforeidie.cc/">www.beforeidie.cc</a>.<br />
<br />
So what you gonna fill in the blank? I am not sure myself, how about you?<br />
