I tend to blog more in Chinese recently, I think it is good to put some update in English.

Nothing much changes in life recently, I'm still working 9-to-6 on weekday (sounds like I hate the job... Haha). Some of you might know that Jason and me are into these actual wedding day photography now. Things looks good and progressive. I think my son feel the changes where the parenting time spent on him is lesser now... however, we're striking to balance it more. Perhaps, it is good to bring the kid along when meeting client, so they'll get some head up on what's going on to their next stage of life.

As we just back from HK trip last month, coming months will be makan-roti months -- over spent again! Althought it'd been a month past, my blog about HK trip haven't finish yet - the memory starting to fade out slowly now.

Just as head up... I'll be moving my blog to other address soon... will let you all know the new URL soon! Meanwhile, stay pretty / handsome and healthy always!

Macau / HK Trip - 17th Oct 2009

2009-11-06T16:50:00.009+08:00

17-10-2009

进入第四日嘅行程，其实我哋都冇预先编排。今日就打算到中环行下再去睇戏。

因为寻日到唨尖沙咀，冇乜行到，我哋今日就直接由旺角去到尖沙咀，打算食完早餐再决定去边。
我哋去到“加连威老道”附近随便咁揾间茶餐室食早餐。味道係点，间嘢叫乜名，我几乎已经忘记的一清二楚。只係记得逗留喺尖沙咀嘅时间好短。

之后我哋就直接搭地铁到中环。由地铁行出嚟就已经身处“置地广场”（Landmark），好多高档商品，但始终觉得啲商场间隔好差，有啲商店会喺啲死角位，根本睇唔到！最讨厌嘅就係揾厕所，告示牌都少，仲要唔係层层有！我哋企咗喺Starbucks旁边上网揾戏院，再睇下边度可以买到Repetto，原来我哋身边嘅Harvey Nichols就有代理Repetto。我行入去睇，价钱同我之前买嘅Sergio　Rossi差唔多，好彩我要嘅size佢冇，我可以省翻，如果唔係，我又会被冲昏个脑！

我哋睇到楼下拍紧“毕打自己人”，见到毛毛同金燕玲。

讲翻个揾戏院嘅过程，我哋查到附近就有一间“皇后戏院”离我哋唔远，就决定过去。我哋拎住个地址，揾极都揾唔到间戏院，经一问，T！原来间戏院已经冇咗！又俾啲旧资料玩到！最衰喺连Google Map资料都冇更新！个人兄建议我哋去IFC睇。我哋就依佢嘅建议行到IFC。

我哋去到IFC门口，Jason就攞相机出嚟影相，我转个身就听到“啊”一声同“blak”一声，转翻个头，就见到我架400D同10-22mm个镜头跌咗落地！大锅！即可执翻上嚟睇，个机身仲可以用，但係个镜头就转唔到，原来里面嘅镜头跌歪咗！我见到Jason嘅面色好难睇，我亦唔多讲嘢，整下整下，镜头可以转啦，但auto focus仍然有问题。我就安慰Jason话，唔跌都跌咗啦，算啦，最多未买多架，佢讲笑话“我赔翻架机俾你！”，我要7仔！

我哋收拾心情往戏院方向行去！嗰日冇乜心水戏睇，要睇嘅嗰日又冇上映,好彩仲有Taking Woodstock，哈！原来係三级限制，好哦！真係第一次喺戏院睇“三级片”！HKD75蚊一个人，都唔算贵，里面嘅座位係皮嘅！空间又够大！睇完又有人好有礼貌咁对住我哋讲“多谢”，OK啦，值得啦！

睇完戏，我哋唔觉意行到A Bathing Ape门口，都知道佢贵，其实一心想参观下。间店有男女同童装，但返大马着佢都冇乜人会识欣赏，栈俾人以为我哋着冒牌货。睇完，我哋开始肚饿，去揾食但係冇乜头绪，大开本旅游手册，最近就係“檀岛”。我哋抱住希望去食，点知！服务差！味道差！个适应仲好多粗口（当然唔係对住我哋讲啦）！可能佢哋出名嘅只係蛋挞？！相都懒得影！

之后过去附近嘅H&M买衫，其实似係买手信多啲。买咗好几件衫俾翰樂，一套衫俾Annabelle，自己就冇收获。哈哈！我哋几乎係最后一个俾钱嘅顾客。我哋由H&M行返地铁站时候，发觉原来“兰桂坊”就喺附近。我哋逗留一下，影下相就走，因为都已经好攰。

（对唔住，今日相影唔多)

Macau / HK Trip - 16th Oct 2009

2009-11-05T12:03:00.000+08:00

今日起身，个胃已经舒服啲，原来保济丸真係得！

我哋梳洗完，落街揾嘢食，喺唔太挑剔嘅情况下，入咗一间叫“陈记”嘅茶餐厅。我哋叫咗两份早餐（一般嘅港式早餐，Set A Set B嗰种，HKD49)，食完就往“永成”出发（其实都係喺旺角一带）。

去到“永成”，个sales几好哦！介绍得好，解释得清楚，我哋好满意，就喺咁嘅情况之下，一买就买咗HKD16815嘅摄影器材！但係就买唔到其中一支镜头(Canon 24-70mm F2.8 L USM)。嚟到香港先知原来呢支镜头咁好买，绝大部分顾客都需要订货！我哋唯有“暂时”放弃。

买咗:
Canon 70-200mm F2.8 IS USM
8GB CF Card x2
Hoya CPL Filter
Manfroto Tripod
Lenspen
Lowepro Fastpack 350

我哋拎住堆器材行返酒店放低，顺便影埋相，有机会就upload上facebook。收拾好之后，我哋又去翻“朗豪坊”食午餐。我哋选择咗麦当奴嘅猪肉包，但味道同KL嘅Sausage McMuffin係一模一样，点解?！

之后我哋选择咗今日去拜祭家驹，位于将军澳华人永远坟场。我哋跟住网上面搜集嘅资料唔难就可以到达，不过啲资料有点嘢要改啦！佢哋话由入口行15-20分钟就可以到达，我哋两个行成粒钟先至到（Jason係俾我拖慢咗脚步，我实在严重缺乏运动）! 如果有朋友有兴趣去探家驹，建议以下路线：

- 搭地铁到“油塘”站, 然后直接搭的士，同的士大哥讲要去 “将军澳华人永远坟场，15段”。

如果想悭钱，可以参考以下：
到达“油塘”站后，往 “天主教普照中学” 出口经过两条电动楼梯，直穿过一栋楼宇过对面行人路右直行。到鲤鱼门广场，转左直行过班马线再转左，就会看到14S巴士站。你可以乘搭乘14s巴士上去。到咗，原路直上，会有条分叉路，向下行就是灵灰阁，你向上行，一路行，放眼直望，你会睇到有个墓后面嘅墙是蓝色，嗰个就係啦（15段 6台 25号）！

注意： 14S巴士唔係每日行驶，如果停驶，我哋就建议你搭的士上去（话俾的士大哥知係15段，佢哋应该知)，因为冇其他选择，除非你到山脚，自己行上去，我哋试过，行咗好耐先至到！

喺油塘嘅我哋，无聊！

我哋跟住网上揾到嘅资料，由油塘地铁站行到鲤鱼门广场附近嘅巴士站，恍然大悟，今日14S巴士停驶日！顶！

你见唔见到蓝色嘅墙壁啊？（Click入去，放大你可以睇得清楚啲）

我哋上到去，已经接近5点钟，好宁静！我哋透顺条气，就装香。啲家驹嘅墓碑后面，有好几个箱，里面都放有香同火柴，仲有啲係fans送嘅手信。啲fans真係好热心，香烛係全天候供应！我哋因为山上风大，用咗差唔多10支火柴先至点得着啲香，真係唔好意思！我哋下次嚟会带埋啲香同火柴（火鸡会唔会好啲呢?）。奉劝各位fans，如果你去拜家驹，麻烦买过去。

我哋影完相（其实係唔可以影嘎！），同家驹讲Bye Bye就离开。好彩咁啱有架的士上嚟，如果唔係就要call的士囖！

我哋再坐地铁去“尖沙咀” 食晚餐睇夜景。我哋行咗段路，肚越嚟越饿，结果就揾到“翠华”(Tsui Wah)，入去！当我哋睇到“翠华”，就唸起阿Jan同千桦嘅“饱满爱”。“翠华”嘅嘢食真係唔错，以份量嚟睇价钱算公道。如果细食，可以一份两人kongsi（share)。

之后去文化中心附近睇夜景，在行埋“星光大道”。人唔算太多，有好多档口帮人影像。我哋都摆埋档，仲赚咗三百几蚊，生意几好！讲笑啧，你咪咁认真啦！点有可能呢？！带埋嗰printer去咩？！我哋影自己就有!

行埋个星光大道，已经觉得对脚好攰，仲要赶地铁返旺角，啊～！！！咁就结束我哋今日嘅行程。

Rimowa - Part5 - Salsa Speedy (台灣限定版)

2009-11-05T09:56:00.005+08:00

台灣限定版Salsa Speedy箱上玩色

RIMOWA 台灣區總經理Michael DePrenda德鵬達精心設計的台灣限定版『Salsa Speedy』系列，靈感源自於跑車的動感流線及生動配色。Michael DePrenda德鵬達有感於『一只好推、堅固的旅行箱，就猶如一台跑車能自由地在任何地面行走，安全地保護承載的內容物』，為了表達這樣的設計概念，在旅行箱上巧妙地玩起顏色搭配，時尚科技的銀色與活力十足的紅色，充分展現跑車般的能量與速度感。

在專業上，一只RIMOWA旅行箱擁有許多專利以及通過國際TÜV德國萊因集團的嚴格檢測，包括：經典百摺設計、專業負重試驗手把以及專利四大走輪。其中，最引以為傲的就屬『RIMOWA德製四大走輪』。因此，有人說RIMOWA旅行箱是四輪傳動的行李箱，因為 RIMOWA擁有可靈活滑動的四大走輪，帶有滾珠軸承的滾輪系統(Multi-wheel)確保旅行箱能夠輕而易舉的旋轉及換變方向、最多可承受60公斤的行李重量，且不管何種地面、四個直徑65mm的大型雙控輪給予行李箱足夠的底盤高度，能輕鬆行走於每一個路段。著實呼應了『Salsa Speedy』系列的設計理念。

Macau / HK Trip - 15th Oct 2009

2009-10-30T18:46:00.014+08:00

15-10-2009

晨早起床，觉得肚仍然唔舒服，肚屙咗两轮，再加上胃痛，哎！又如何？！清洗完，我哋决定去瑪嘉烈蛋撻店（Cafe e Nata Margaret's）葡挞！

我哋沿路经过7-11，唸住要买Isotonic饮品嚟止屙，妈X佢啊，真係好贵选择又唔多！成MOP10蚊一支，我突然怀念国产100Plus，大马最贵都係MYR2.50啧！之后，继续行，经过药房，唸下都係买盒保济丸防身先！MOP15，一盒里面有10支。

继续行，就见到金灿灿嘅新葡京，原来係好壮观宏伟！金灿灿嘅反射镜面外墙，好似将澳门嘅街景都映射喺建筑上面。行过新葡京大门，见到好似好多把刀咁嘅设计，哈！你哋班赌鬼今次仲唔砍到你哋一颈血！！！

沿着“殷皇子大马路”往“马统领围”，我哋行过龙，原来“瑪嘉烈蛋撻”喺后巷，正正“CTM”后面。总算揾到，我哋去到人并唔太多，好快可以坐低食嘢！但order嘅时候就有啲混乱，有先后次序（请睇下面餐厅介绍）。嗰葡挞好正！虽然同大马嘅相差唔多，但上面个层焦糖令我好怀念。猪仔包就好硬，我哋呢啲食软唔食硬嘅人，觉得冇乜特别。

食完，我哋就前往议事厅（Largo do Senado），俗称大喷水池。行紧去嘅时候，我哋听到有锣鼓声，似係有节日庆典，我哋就跟住啲声行过去睇。我哋完全唔知係乜嘢节日，净係顾住影相。

当呢班马女喺条街上跑时，真係好似一大班人骑紧只马咁！好壮观！

睇完游行，我哋继续前进到议事厅（Largo do Senado）。因为有装修工程，我哋都冇乜影相。随意咁行下，影下相。

我哋唔警唔觉行到嚟“廬家大屋”(Casa de Lou Kau)，好古老特色，好靓！

赶返酒店拎行李，前往香港！我哋搭的士到澳門外港客運碼頭。买飞，位位MOP142，大件行李另计，MOP20，共MOP304。（注意，渡轮有分去香港岛或九龙）

坐上渡轮，所有行李要放喺渡轮前端。我哋就咁浪下浪下，途中隔离嘅小姐已经呕到唔清唔楚，一小时后到达九龙。到达嘅同时，我哋其中一件行李由渡轮前头自己滑到我哋嘅座位，哈哈！

哈！久违啦香港！八年后再嚟到呢度，好开心！我哋行出“中港碼頭” (中港城碼頭，注意：唔係“港澳码头”！“港澳码头”係香港岛嗰边！)，唸住要搭地铁，点知两个傻瓜竟然喺“尖沙咀”揾唔到地铁！应该係我哋miss咗个通道！之后我哋竟然由“尖沙咀”嘅“中港碼頭”（沿住广东道）行到去“旺角朗豪坊”（Langham Place）附近嘅“豪畔酒店”（Harbour Hotel）！天开始黑，我哋两条友都… （无言）….

Check-in 完上房！开房…门，哇！细到啊，要用粗口形容，好撚细间！好彩得我得两条友嚟！如果唔係，恐怕要训厕所门口！我哋摆低行李，冲返个凉再出去揾食！因为之前行咗十分远，我哋都唔打算去太远，就喺“朗豪坊”（Langham Place）快快咁揾间餐厅（Ajisen Ramen）解决我哋嘅晚餐。呢间嘢冇乜特别，同大马嘅日本餐厅大同小异，skip，冇需要多讲。

之后，我哋当然係行“朗豪坊”啦。有好多层，但面积唔算大，我唔钟意层面嘅设计，东一点，西一点咁。里面有我想要买嘅H&M同无印良品(Muji)，其余嘅店铺都冇乜特色。当我诳紧H&M嘅同时，Jason上咗楼上睇CD。我哋买咗好几只Beyond历年嘅演唱会DVD俾翰樂，KL真係好难揾到。

之后我哋再去“旺角西洋菜街”一带猎“物”（摄影器材）。真係好多间gadget store，大部分都係“雷射”，丰泽（Fortress）, 百老汇（Broadway）等招牌。我哋发觉，原来喺香港Canon 24-70mm 2.8 嘅镜头係好难买到，决大部分人都係要订货，大概2-3星期先至攞到。但係Jason要嘅70-200mm IS 2.8就可以买到。我哋买咗PCCW 嘅无线宽频上网卡，去Starbucks上网check，原来“永成摄影器材公司”就喺西洋菜街度，我哋饮完嘢就过去，点知！闩咗门，营业到10点，我哋去到已经喺10点半。唯有明天请早！我哋就咁结束咗今日嘅行程返酒店休息。

返到酒店，冲完凉，我仍然係胃唔舒服。我喺冇选择嘅情况下，拎盒保济丸嚟睇，原来上面係咁写：

说明：保济丸乃著名老牌良药，精选国药制成、性和、质洁、绝无刺激及副作用。而具有治病能力。凡主治各症、服之均奏实效。如遇身体微觉不适、立服保济丸即能回复常态。保济丸用途广功效大、保济丸系居家旅行必备良药。

主治：疴呕、肚痛，各种痧症及痢症心胃气痛，身热，外感风寒，湿热扭肚暑湿，山岚瘴气，小儿疳积，水土不服肠胃各病，酒醉食滞，舟车晕浪，有病食保济丸见效快，无病食保济丸调理肠胃。

服法：成人每次二樽，用温开水送服。隔二小时可服一次，日服四次，小童服量减半。

我即刻吞两樽，然后大嗌一声“多谢创始人李兆基！”，之后睇下电视节目再入睡。

卫生：好
价钱：睇季节，十月就贵咗点
服务：算OK
我们说：喺香港要揾好嘅大间啲嘅酒店，当然就要俾多啲钱！香港地方细，每一寸位都係“黄金”。我唸十月係旺季，未嚟香港前，已经喺个网度做好功课，已经知道十月嘅香港酒店係贵啲。但的确冇唸到细得咁可怜！好彩嗰装修算新，两个人住得都算OK，窄啲就当亲密啲咯！

餐厅：
瑪嘉烈蛋撻店 Cafe e Nata Margaret's
地址：新馬路馬統領街金利來大廈17B地舖
卫生：一般，座位喺室外
价钱：公道
服务：有啲复杂：
一，买葡挞同饮品係先俾钱，后拎嘢食~(以為佢地係咁樣運作架啦)
二，买三文治时，调转哦！係拎咗嘢食先，后俾钱
三，买意粉，係俾钱先，之后收银员俾张单你，佢哋会攞俾你同你对翻张单。
建议：如果你要食蛋挞，三文治同意粉，你应该：
- 先去order三文治
- 拎住个三文治去俾钱，然后order你嘅饮品，蛋挞同面食。
- 拎住三文治，饮品同蛋挞揾位坐，等佢哋送面食上嚟，对单，开餐！

我们说：我哋去到係早餐时间，位唔多，但啲人都唔会逗留太耐，通常食完就走，所以都不至于要等位。佢出名係蛋挞，当然唔会错过。你如果入去净係想买蛋挞，可以直接去俾钱。但係如果你要食其他嘢，就要点咗先，然后再俾钱。铺位细，人手算多，可以即刻攞到食物再揾位坐。价钱OK，一个葡挞MOP7，同其他地方大同小异，但味道确係好！尤其係挞上面嗰一层焦糖，正！

Macau / HK Trip - 14th Oct 2009

2009-10-29T20:46:00.007+08:00

14-10-2009

我哋坐4点班机去澳门，早上7点几起身执行李。
翰樂8点几就起咗身，搞搞震，将行李箱推嚟推去，仲踩上我嘅鲨鱼箱再跳落嚟！
老妈子整咗啲面包做早餐，我食咗4块，搞到老豆买嘅午餐都食唔落。

我哋有俾心理准备翰樂，好几个星期前已经话俾佢知爹地妈咪会有几日唔喺屋企，叫佢听话。佢好懂事，临出门前（亦都係佢训晏觉时间），佢好乖咁要求：“妈咪摇翰樂”，我感觉好窝心。轻轻唱歌仔俾佢听，我唱停咗，佢以为我走咗就嗌“妈咪！”，我就话爹地妈咪喺度，叫佢乖乖慢慢训。

见佢训着咗，我哋就轻手轻脚出门。老豆载我哋两公婆去机场，省翻好多时间同精力！去到LCCT机场，我开始觉得肚饿，check-in完就去食McDonald’s之后就入闸。

喺机上我觉得有点唔舒服，买咗点零食就咁晃下晃下到咗澳门。落机第一件事，当然喺过关入境，排紧队我试下睇上唔上到网，竟然有10分钟免费上网，入面书（Facebook） update下嗰status话俾全世界人知我哋到咗澳门啦！

入境后搭的士去“帝濠酒店”，的士费MOP，喺大厅就好似身处中国大陆，好多中国人啊！我觉得帝濠酒店啲员工态度差！完全冇笑容！应该係公司今年冇俾花红！上lift，我哋都俾中国人包围，好多中国人啊！入到房间，都算唔错！但係啲清洁工作做得并不好，地上竟然有一块好细块嘅刀片！扣晒分！

我哋放底行李就出去行下，好多中国人啊！请原谅我呢个冇见惯大场面嘅女人，我的确係第一次嚟澳门。

我开始觉得胃唔舒服，可能係冇食午餐所致！我哋由上海街行到北京街，唸住揾啲小食，企喺其中一间餐厅前睇紧menu，点知隔离间餐厅嘅aunty走埋嚟好大声咁话间嘢食唔掂，唔正宗，价钱又唔公道，又话人哋揾啲明星仔北姑嚟拍广告呃人！佢话佢哋係老字号，包罗万有，价钱公道，我哋两个企喺度听故仔，好笑又好尴尬！我哋敷衍下佢之后就继续揾食。

行下睇下发觉点解附近一带嘅餐厅都好似好贵，一个A-la-carte都要MOP50 – 100？仲係食啲我哋唔多开胃嘅嘢！于是我哋走返去揾嗰位Aunty。食物的确唔错！味道好，火候够！佢介绍我碗咸猪骨皮蛋粥真係唔错嘎！但係我依然胃痛！

食完行下我哋就返酒店休息，准备听日嘅冲刺 – 香港站！

(唔好意思，第一日，冇影相）

的士：
一上的士，就係MOP13起标，澳门的士比较少拒载，大部分都照标行。

酒店：
帝濠酒店（Emperor Hotel）
地址： 51 Rua de Xangai, 澳門, 澳門
卫生：好！但我哋间房嘅地上见到有未收拾嘅刀片
价钱：公道
服务：嘛嘛地，啲reception好似我欠佢钱咁，黑口黑面，我未曾见过佢哋笑面迎人！
我们说：我唔会返嚟呢见酒店！我唔需要靓嘅酒店，但我希望有亲切嘅待遇。

餐厅：
新好景餐厅
地址：澳门新口岸北京街123号
卫生：嘛嘛地，可能杂物太多，但食物係唔错嘎！
价钱：公道，一碗咸猪骨皮蛋粥 MOP26，金吉蜜 MOP10，比起附近嘅餐厅，佢算公道！
服务：好
味道：好
我们说：我哋係俾嗰位aunty所影响先致会走入去。我本来对呢间嘢毫无兴趣，个aunty都算得上係我哋呢趟旅程嘅搞笑人物。食物方面，的确係唔错，价钱亦公道！Aunty所讲嘅包罗万有，价钱公道，味道好，的确冇呃人！如果你哋咁啱行到附近，不妨一试！卫生方面，唔好嫌太多，我唔係话啲食物唔卫生，只不过，可能有点乱，杂物太多，令到人觉得有点唔太舒适。我两公婆既然返得嚟，证明食物完全冇问题啦！

Tenka Daiichi Ramen

2009-06-26T18:21:00.009+08:00

This restaurant remains one of my favorite Japanese restaurant since year 2001. I recall I had my first lunch here during my first employment day with Catcha that used to be in KLCC Tower 2.

Jason and me went to this place again for dinner yesterday. By then we realized they had move to another side of Wisma Central, which is next to my another favorite lunch spot - the 'VIP Food Center (Mixed Rice)'. They are bigger now but the atmosphere still remains.

They open during lunch and dinner time but with different menu. You will see Japanese menu during dinner time as they serve many Japanese at night. Feel free to ask for English version menu if you don't read Japanese or get some help from the waiter. The place is quiet as not many people know the place. I personally like the dinner time here.

Talking about the food, the Chicken-Katsu and Pork-Katsu are yummy! They other food like Ma Po Taofu (麻婆豆腐), Wui Wor Meat (回锅肉), Gyoza, and variety of Japanese dishes... which I doesn't know how to call them. You can ask the waiter to recommend you some little dish, else just go ahead with the Port-Katsu set (RM22.90/set).

I strongly recommend you to try this restaurant, regardless lunch or dinner time, they are basically different atmosphere but with good food. You may park your car at KLCC and walk over to Wisma Central, or park at Wisma Central with RM5 per entry at night.

Yum Yum Putu Mayam

2009-06-25T19:31:00.004+08:00

Snack that I always love!

I'm not good in describing the food ingredient and process of making it... Let's do a copy and paste from Wiki XD

PUTU MAYAM is a sweet dish. It is popular in southern India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, as a snack or breakfast food.

The process for making PUTU MAYAM (also known as string hoppers in English) consists of mixing rice flour or idiyappam flour with water and/or coconut milk, and pressing the dough through a sieve to make vermicelli-like noodles. These are steamed, usually with the addition of juice from the aromatic pandan leaf (screwpine) as flavouring. The noodles are served with grated coconut and jaggery, or, preferably, gur (date palm sugar). In some areas, gula melaka (coconut palm sugar) is the favourite sweetener.

Putu piring is a Malaysian version of PUTU MAYAM in which the rice flour dough is used to form a small cake around a filling of coconut and gur or jaggery. PUTU MAYAM is also closely related to the Malaysian cendol which substitutes green pea flour for the rice flour in making the noodles. In all forms of the dish, pandan flavouring, as an extract or as chopped leaves, is typical.

In Malaysia and Singapore, PUTU MAYAM and its relatives are commonly sold as street food from market stalls or carts, as well as being made at home, and are usually served cold.

In Indonesia, putu mayam is called Putu mayang.

The origins of these dishes may stem from southern India, where a similar rice flour noodle is served with sugar and coconut, and sometimes banana too, as iddiyappam. This dish may be eaten for breakfast with a vegetable stew or aviyal, or a fish curry, etc. The same liking for serving the slightly sweet PUTU MAYAM, putu piring, or cendol with savoury dishes also occurs in Malaysia and Singapore. Iddiyappam is typical of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and other southern Indian states, as well as Sri Lanka. A very finely ground, commercial iddiyapam flour is sold as a sort of "instant" way to make all of these dishes.

Sorry, I didn't take much photo on the foods, rather, I prefer to take the photo that describe more on the envinroment. I always like the cement-finishing floor, wooden furnishing and minimalist design. Joyoga got the element that I like.

Today's Imbi Plaza

2009-06-18T14:58:00.004+08:00

I went to Imbi Plaza for buying cables about 4months back.
This place used to full of crowd and noise but things are different now.
I was busy working at here daily about 11years ago. The feeling hit me when I see most of the shops are closed down and touch when seeing familiar faces still sitting at the same place doing their job. Do we call this loyal or ...?

The Simpsons's Pasta

2009-06-17T20:44:00.003+08:00

Bought this from Cold Storage last week.
It is organic with The Simpson's Family character... I find it adorable.
Too bad... my son still doesn't know much about The Simpson's but he still play around with the pasta before I cooked them :D

The Loaf - Cheese in Cup - Yuck!

2009-06-17T20:29:00.003+08:00

I was once see there was some crowd during lunch hour at The Loaf @ Pavilion.
People are picking up the Cheese in cup... it looks like so tasty. I didn't try at that time, I was full after lunch meal.

Few weeks ago, I dropping by after shopped at Pull & Bear. I've then decided to give this a try. The staff recommended me two top selling flavor and I've picked up a hot chocolate too.

The taste is NOT impress my at all! I'm a cheese lover... but this thing... really not good and the hot chocolate is just so so... :( Personally not recommend this to anyone.

If you think it is nice, no offense... it's just my tastebud is different from yours.

Nice look - Poor taste

You called this Hot Chocolate? I rather take Milo Kosong at Mamak stall.

Sushi Zanmai TeaBreak

2009-06-01T18:30:00.007+08:00

Last Saturday, we went to The Gardens for shopping. The time was around 3pm, neither lunch or dinner hour but I was hungry (skipped my lunch earlier). I suggested Sushi Zanmai to Jason and he agreed.

It was a pleasant meal but not complete one - the Salmon Sashimi was out of stock!!! How could that be?! Anyway, as usual, some photos below.. :D

Ler Ler's - Cut Hair

2009-05-28T20:20:00.006+08:00

Two weeks ago, we were planned to attend DTD Music Event, so, Jason and me decided to get Hanler a punk hairstyle. Since Hanler don't like go for barbershop so I got no choice to DIY for him (in fact, DIY for his daddy too).

and the results....

Papa Rich

2009-05-28T19:54:00.005+08:00

Recently got recommended by a friend - Lee, an alternative to Oldtown Kopitiam, here the Papa Rich Cafe!

Honestly, a nice place and good foods! Although the price is slightly higher than Oldtown but I still prefer PapaRich (maybe I'm too bored with Oldtown now)!

The Nasi Lemak was real good! It taste so much like my mom cooked Nasi Lemak, just that without Kangkung! I'd tried the Curry Naan - not bad, if you are looking for something a bit light yet fulfilling.

Papa Rich can be found at Jalan Bukit Bintang (opposite Federal Hotel) or in Shamelin Business Park. Go try it!

Rimowa - Part3

2009-05-07T09:51:00.007+08:00

来看看别人的个性化RIMOWA!

限量版!
Rimowa X Camper

Rimowa在2007跟Camper crossover了一款令人爱不释手的白色Salsa, 限量售于香港Camper专卖店!
2007年5月9日, 推出首天就被抢空!
除了旅行箱，还推出了Travel Kit（内含:颈墊，眼罩，化装水瓶子，化装包，旅行箱strap）。

售价
旅行箱(60cm x 45cm x 25cm) - HKD3,499
Travel Kit - HKD299

Rimowa x United Arrows
日本著名年轻生活物品品牌United Arrows曾经跟很多其他著名的牌子crossover过，如: Converse, Vans, New Balance, Casio等!　Rimowa也是其中之一!

他们的crossover在2008年四月推出，箱子的外殻是Honey Gold色,　价钱由JPY56000起，不同尺寸，相信已经是买不到了!

Rimowa x BAPE
除了之前post的 Rimowa 与 Camper 和 United Arrows 的两款crossover旅行箱，接下来就是超昂贵的Rimowa x BAPE (A Bathing Ape) 款!

这个Rimowa x BAPE的手拖箱使用上经典银色金属外壳，搭配上底调的迷彩花纹，不说也不知道是和BAPE的合作产品。2008推出售价也很昂贵～　要JPY168,000，另人咋舌！我看就只有BAPE的超级粉丝下得了手!

Rimowa X Solebox
那在新的2009，有会有什么Crossover杰作呢?
令rimowa fans期待的,　就是这款跟Solebox (來自德国柏林的顶尖潮流店铺) 合作产品!

這回与Solebox共同打造的登机箱以特殊的聚碳酸酯所制成，箱蓋使用极为罕见的透明聚碳酸酯，可清楚看见Solebox的字样!
而在这登机箱背后也以黑色聚碳酸酯打造，搭配上中间极为抢眼的红色拉链!

预计Rimowa会在2009年與一项特殊企划共同发售!

Rimowa 鯊鱼箱!
这原本只打算用作品牌形象, 不打算贩卖鯊鱼箱, 为庆祝Rimowa高雄大立精品开幕, 德国总公司首度破例出售!
限量在台湾卖10只!

独特的鯊鱼咬痕设计, 创新而前卫, 配合人气Rimowa Salsa的PC材料, 绝对值得收藏!
鱼箱为小型四轮旅行箱尺寸，价格NTD19,960. 推出那天就已经抢光光!

我想用广东话问句: "RIMOWA, 你冇啊?" (听起来就像"RI MO WA").... 哈哈哈!

Rimowa - Part2

2009-05-07T09:46:00.007+08:00

来看看它的历史!

梦幻旅行箱…启航
RIMOWA已有逾百年的旅行箱制造历史!

在1898年，Kofferfabrik Paul Morszeck於德国科隆地区以自身命名創立了RIMOWA 的前身『Kofferfabrik Paul Morszeck旅行箱制造公司』，當時他那『完美旅行箱』的一時创意发想，未料在日后竟演变成全球冠軍销售商品。一個世纪后的今日，這個有百褶设计的旅行箱，不僅全球而耳熟能详，更成為『德国精工之最』的同意词。

百年经典旅行箱
1937年 - 品牌创办人之子Richard Morszeck從特殊材质中汲取设计靈感, 推出第一款海外旅游专用的铝制旅行箱

RIMOWA铝制旅行箱的來源，原來还有另一段小插曲：在第二次世界大战其间，RIMOWA遭受轰炸，工厂全毁。所有制造旅行箱的材料像是皮革、木頭和布料都遭到战火烧毁，整個工厂中只剩下鋁片還是完好无伤， Richard Morszeck在看到这样的光景时，不但沒有感到伤心难过，反而有所領悟，他看到鋁製旅行箱才是公司的未來。

1950年 - 他再度推出首款具有『典型RIMOWA专利百褶设计』的飞航用旅行箱。

RIMOWA旅行箱设计独到之处，在於兼顾『轻巧』与『高稳定性』。铝制旅行箱在上市不久后，便藉着『轻巧』與不因溫差变形的『高耐受度』特性，深获各地航空旅客的青睞。而独特的百褶设计也成为RIMOWA的经典代名詞。

RIMOWA的坚持与讲究
RIMOWA的Logo是取Richard Morszeck (RIMOWA第二代接班人) 加上WA德文公司的意思组合而成。

和其他品牌有一个很大的不同之处乃是RIMOWA是一個家族事业，其旅行箱完全是在德国生产並全程以手工制造，同時因为RIMOWA也代表着家族声誉，所以在经营上有很多的坚持：坚持不上市，不成为僅以利潤为目的的公司、不愿為了利潤压缩成本而使用较不耐用的材质或零件、坚持產品的品质、坚持德国手工精制、坚持传统与创新的设计。

RIMOWA的创意及多功能设计
RIMOWA第三代接班人Dieter Morszeck 在1976年更進一步發展出第一個防水旅行箱，它兼具了防撞击以及抗溫差功能，是為了保护精密敏感的摄影器材而做的特別设计。从1984年起，RIMOWA就已经是生产全球最轻硬殼旅行箱的先鋒。從2000年起，RIMOWA更开始採用耐受度极高的聚碳酸酯 (Polycarbonate 防彈塑胶，俗名防彈塑胶) 來制作全系列的轻质旅行箱。在RIMOWA超高标准的严格制作下，這些创新的轻质旅行箱已经成为全球的人气商品。

RIMOWA不断创新求变
RIMOWA會成为高级旅行箱中的佼佼者，只有一個很简单的原因：『RIMOWA至今仍坚守着公司成立的初衷以及一贯的传统：完美的德国工艺，採用高级质材，和精确的手工制造过程。』而與時俱进也是RIMOWA的品牌哲学：产品设计跟着时代潮流更新，不断地创造新设计和注入新元素，诉说着各种旅行的艺术。

来看看它有什么系列!

Benefit of riding a scooter on highway

2009-03-26T15:01:00.005+08:00

Something funny I saw this morning on Elevated Highway.

I was first in place wondering, what the hell the thing on the left handside of this scooter. I drove faster and then realized is... so I drove even faster and stop at roadside, preparing my camera and shot him!

Our sweet painful day!

2009-03-16T20:35:00.004+08:00

COPY FROM MY OLD BLOG (ENTRY OF Nov 20,2005)

Last Saturday was a painful day for us - fook and me. We crazee couple went for tattoo at Borneo Ink. Fook's tattoo is cool and very nice!! He got the initial idea from web, brought it to Eddie, and modified to simplified version.

Almost 2 hours suffers - real suffer which I can feel the pain, his expression told everything, he is proudly to own the tattoo now. I was capturing photos while he was suffering. Fook stops half way for cigratte, I know it's real painful. Soon after finish the cigratte we back to hell again. The entire progress have been recorded in still images format.

It was fook's 1st tattoo, have to take as many shoots as possible of course!! I not getting any new tattoo but was extending my Candy Lo's alike tattoo. I got it in brown color 3 years ago, the color doesn't really looks good and Eddie told black will be better. Ok, I tried black this round. Eddie skillful enough to extend the tattoo on the fly by using red marker pen for temporary outline. The shape looks cool and we agreed to proceed.

As compare to 3 years ago, the first time I try tattoo and the touch up, this round is much more painful, I'm still wondering why...?! Anyway, it's passed, Hope after the skin peel, everything is nicely shown!

Eddie was our tattooist, a friendly nice guy. His brother simon is humurous too. There were 4 lady customers done the tattoo on the same day by Simon. Versus Eddie, which only 2 of us in the afternoon. The day is unforgettable for both of us. We was in sweet pain... mind distort... hunger... exhausted... happy... enjoy... love... we will fight for anything / everything to stay and go through every single moment like this together and forever.

Crazee Action - Rimowa Shark Bite Luggage Trolley

2009-01-24T01:35:00.006+08:00

Jason's colleague - Amos, had finally came back from Taiwan, there my new Rimowa also came back from Taiwan!

After the late Chinese New Year shopping just now, we headed to Subang Parade to meet up Amos to collect the Rimowa. I really thank him so much for bringing this luggage trolley all the way from Taiwan... owe him a good meal! A big thanks to Penny from Rimowa too~~~

I'm very glad... here a little sharig... (I look dumb in the picture and overjoyed).

Company Annual Dinner

2009-01-22T17:31:00.015+08:00

Last Friday was the Company Annual Dinner, we held the event at RedBox @ The Gardens. Hmmm... Karaoke? Yes, but this is something more than Karaoke, the room is big with WII games, a little corner for net surfing and plenty of seats.

It was buffet dinner served, I didn't eat much... as the food wasn't that tasty. I was so eager wanted to sing as it had been such a long time didn't been to Karaoke since January 2008.

Had a duet with Thim on Beyond's 海阔天空 (Hoi Fut Tin Hong), some Sammi's and Candy Lo's song (as usual lor). It wasn't enough but I unable to get hold of the mic as there are plenty of K fans in the house! Sugu, the CS man sing very well! Mark, the SVP sing DAMN well - my ears a bit pain in fact! Overall, CS group was being the most outgoing one.... well done! I like the way we sang those oldies and old hits together... something we all familiar with.

There were some games organized by RedBox but no prize for winner anyway, just for fun. Some group had fun with the WII games at the other side, some surf net, some just continue to eat, drink and smoke.

I would say, this place is ideal to host a company dinner or party where you need something casual and privacy... overall I enjoyed it... hope others do... :D Would like to say thanks to the COO!

Company Christmas Gift Exchange 2008

2009-01-22T16:32:00.012+08:00

This is way too late to post... just finished edited the photos... It was an inhouse event in December 2008 - The Christmas Gift Exchange.

We had a simple little party in office on 19th Dec 2008. As usual, something convenient - The Pizza and KFC. Everyone need to buy a little gift more expensive than RM15... Yaya! 15 bucks... what a headache one... I was wondering... RM15?! What an amount which I seriously don't think I can get some ideal with RM15 lor!

OK... the party was start with a speech by COO... the food... then the gift exchange session (it was a mess one)... then the group photograph session (not everyone was in the picture).

We had joy peeping at each other's gift... asking who bought this gift? I even stole my colleague's gift (chocolcate) and whack it...

Before the party start

Crazee Action - Second Rimowa On the Way

2009-01-14T14:41:00.004+08:00

Recently saw a blogger friend Irwin posted his Limited Edition Shark-Bite Rimowa, so many envy-eyes! How / From Where he get that?!

I thought this is just an art piece for marketing purpose, never really thought it released inconjunction with the opening of Talee Star Place (大立精品館), Gaoshiung(高雄), Taiwan last November. It was only 10unit and all sold on the same day.

I had tried my luck to contact the Taiwan Rimowa buddy, Ms. Penny, she told me the great great news saying that she able to source for me. I'd paid and now waiting the luggage trolley be back on 21st January 2009.

Looking very forward!

PiKAPiKA × So-net Project

2009-01-06T21:49:00.005+08:00

PLEASE watch the first one, then follow by bottom one.

Yesterday, Jason sent me this youtube, when I watching it, I feel this is really good!

After I watched their "behind the project scene", I wanted to shout, this is F***ING AWESOME!

Lunch at Alexis

2009-01-06T18:25:00.007+08:00

This afternoon, went to Alexis@GE Mall for lunch with my oldmate.

I'd ordered this Linguine Aglio Olio, the price is RM38...(I was scratching my head, pasta with olive oil also cost this much?). When it served, I was a bit regretted, there are prawns there... which I never preferred!
Yiiisss! So I pass three of the prawns and I tried one... it wasn't tasty at all.

The organic herbal tea was so-so.

My friend ordered a Nasi Lemak ISTIMEWA, I ain't sure how it taste but I think it was just so-so at well, wasn't what they claimed as ISTIMEWA.

It is really not worth to pay something doesn't taste that good!

A Merry Merry Christmas

2008-12-26T04:13:00.001+08:00

Jason and me decided a last minute gift exchange... we went to KLCC after work on Christmas eve to hunt for presents. We decided to meet up at 8pm at Manhattan Fish for dinner.

My ideal present for Jason is a watch as his old swatch was "damaged" by Han Ler months back. I headed to Swatch then to Isetan, to City Chain to Wata (too expensive)... then back to Isetan again. After making some comparison, I then decided to get him a lower range Seiko.

I don't have time to wrap it and straight headed to the Manhattan Fish. However, they only serve Dinner Seafood Set which cost RM88++ for two, I think it is costly and I don't take seafood at all (except fish), so I walked out and went to Pizza Hut instead.

I sat down and not long after I'd order the meal Jason came in with a BIG SURPRISE for me! He'd bought me a Sony VAIO CS series notebook!!! It was truly BIG present so far I ever received! I really like it so much (who don't like it?)! THANK YOU DEAR DEAR!

Both of us really "good" spender, spend like nobody business - BROKE!

Present from him

Present for him

Taiwan Trip (Part 6 of 6)

2008-12-11T11:58:00.011+08:00

19th Oct 2008
-------------
我训到11点几至起身，寻晚睇杂志睇到4点几（睇下杂志，睇下应该喺台北买点乜嘢）。
起身，梳洗完就攞嗰手袋出门。
今日个行程，就喺要去“VVG Table”食早餐，之后去“迪化街”睇老街，然后去“三二行馆”浸温泉食完嘢再去“女巫店”浦。“西门町”，“鼎泰丰”，“九份”同其他地方，就唯有等Jason过嚟台北再安排。

我搭地铁前往“忠孝复兴”站，依照地图嘅方向行下行下，我见到“鼎泰丰”哦，但係唸住等Jason过嚟先致一起试，所以继续行。我嘅目的地当然係要揾“VVG Table”。我越过咗“忠孝东路4段”，眼前就係“微风广场”，我冇走入去，因为好肚饿。

忠孝东路

过经过屈臣氏，买咗包纸巾，就继续揾间店。原来“微风广场”后边有好多好特色嘅店。虽然大部分卖嘅都係时尚用品，反而吸引我嘅唔係啲衫裤鞋袜，而係啲店铺装潢，摆设同设计！

William介绍嘅“大干杯”我未揾到，但係“小干杯”就无意中俾我睇到

我由街头差唔多行到街尾，先至揾到“VVG”，仲差点miss咗添
VVG门口

入到里面，嗰侍应问我有冇预约，我话冇哦！佢话剩返一个位，指住嗰位问我O唔OK? 我话既然嚟到，有位就OK啦！个座位的确有点怪，不过还可以啦。

我就係坐喺呢张凳

呢度嘅环境都算OK，可能係星期日，比我想象中较人多。因为周末有Brunch套餐，俾啲又懒又唔熟悉环境嘅我最适合不过，于是我唸都唔洗唸就要咗个Brunch Set (Breakfast+Lunch)，台币560.

主菜未嚟，就先嚟杯香喷喷嘅红酒配肉桂。好香！！！再嚟一堆面包同几杯唔同嘅酱（好好味吖！！！！）再嚟main course，饮品，甜品。Overall我好enjoy，好似好享受咁！值得推荐俾旅客嘅一间餐厅(你话日日食就咪搞啦)!

睇相
等紧嘅时候

The bread and jam（我最钟意）

寻晚买嘅旅游指南

饮品同沙拉

主菜同大合照（又有另一杯饮品）

食完再影

餐厅里面同厕所（太暗，冇闪灯，影得唔好）

原来，TaipeiUC Noodle Bar同VVG喺同一条街，我入去睇下，出嚟影几张相就决定下一个地点係“迪化老街”。

我转地铁到“中山站”，行咗好似好远路，感觉到条街越行越老，我唸应该就到啦...

台湾嘅行人桥

老街附近

法主公庙

有庆典-但係当时我唔知庆啲乜嘢（原来係“乞龟、还龟”日）

睇到啲“红龟”吗？

由“法主公庙”再行前点，就係布料街，再行前转右就係“迪化街”

迪化街一带

去到“迪化街”先至知道“城隍庙”喺度！好多人，好多年轻人！我好好奇点解台湾嘅后生人原来咁诚心嚟拜神！

台北霞海城隍庙

我原本冇意思要拜拜，唸到翰樂唔舒服，就想求平安。我走入去买香，问下除咗求姻缘，可唔可以求平安，个靓女话：“什么都可以求！”仲教我点拜。

我行出去，放低啲元宝（唔可以烧！），当我想向前点香时，有人放炮仗，我拉拉临转身跟大队走前去睇！原来嗰祭典未完。

睇完祭典，我走去排队点香，拜完我唸住攞啲香去香炉插，哇，个火好猛，我见到人哋插香好似掟飞镖咁，我唯有跟住做！

之后排队攞平安茶。杯茶真係好热，我坐埋一边摊冬杯茶，好无聊！

睇下台湾人嘅环抱意识几强！

之后我行到“迪化街”尽头，沿途影下相

原来“大稻呈码头”就喺“迪化街”嘅另一边，我见到好多人踩单车往“大稻呈码头”反响，我跟住过咗去。

过咗城门，就睇到个海景，呢度就係“海滨公园”！我好意外，因为原先都冇唸到嚟呢度！我都好开心，影相留念。

台湾人都有踩单车嘅习惯，周末消遣亦少不了踩单车活动。佢哋点单车，平均应该过千蚊马币，我睇到好过隐，因为我都钟意单车！

生意头脑！睇下佢架改装货车！

租单车都要排长龙！写明5点闩档，4点半，条龙仍然係咁长！

我之后离开“大稻城码头”，唸住去搭地铁，突然间醒起，附近有一间“林柳新紀念偶戲博物館”。于是加快脚步去揾，好快就揾到。

“林柳新紀念偶戲博物館”门口

由于间嘢5点闩，我入去嘅时候经已係4点40分係，冷清清，只有一个售票员。间所谓嘅博物馆，其实面积好细，4层楼，我唸应该唔会用太多时间，于是就买飞，NTD120入去参观。

五颜六色嘅木偶 - 可以买嚟做纪念品（但係我参观完，唔想买咗！！！）

我唸，“不如上楼上睇完，之后再落返嚟再慢慢睇”，我就走咗上去。

二楼嘅木偶展览


再上三楼，三楼啲木偶，开始令我觉得有点怕，啲表情好似好惨，有点狰狞... 搞到我都唔咁正面睇清楚，随随便便睇下就算，连相都唔影多张。

睇完三楼，其实经已冇乜心想上四楼，但係唸到我都好少机会再嚟，于是决定睇埋佢。我企喺三楼嘅楼梯口望上四楼，哇！乜咁暗嘎！哎！死就死！四楼嘅主题係“越南水傀儡”，似“水鬼”多点喔！可能因为外面天色开始暗，冇乜阳光照入嚟，而成层嘢用红色灯同蜡烛光，真係唔係好愿意久留。我逗留咗几秒钟就急急脚落楼下。完全冇影相！

楼到楼下，随随便便睇下就走！

基本上，其实如果早嚟参观，係有节目睇，但係我今次嚟就搞到好似自己吓自己咁。为咗唔想误导你哋，不如睇下人哋嘅blog点写，同埋个林柳新紀念偶戲博物館official网站。
我由偶戲博物館出嚟就打算行返去搭地铁。行下行下，见到有夜市，一睇，好大只牌写住“宁夏夜市”，咦！点解本guide冇讲到嘅？！连地图都冇写！我唔理啦，好饿，走咗入去揾档嘢嗌咗碗蚵仔面线同臭豆腐。

食完，行去搭地铁，下一站，“新北投”浸温泉！我搭到去“北投”再站转地铁线路往“新北投”，等紧地铁乘有时间call电话俾我妈，点知佢话翰樂仍然未退烧，好忸计！我于是call俾Jason问佢好唔好听日就返大马，Jason话OK，我就即刻call China Airlines换机位booking。其实当时已经好冇心情再完，但係就算我自己喺台湾闭翳都做唔到点乜嘢！于是继续往“新北投”前进。

我其实係打算去“三二行馆”，之前survey过点啲价钱觉得OK，佢哋个网站写由“新北投”站行5分钟就可以到达！我唸到咁方便于是就拣咗呢间！我落咗地铁，跟住啲温泉路牌，的确行啱方向。行行行... 原来网站冇同你讲，条路係斜玻！继续行行行...5分钟？我行咗十分钟都未到！！！条路仍然係咁斜！！！越行条路越入越静，我见到有个牌写住“三二行馆”，再读清楚嗰内容，晴天霹雳！！！佢哋竟然closed for public，因为有大型fucntion！！！我... 我... 我... 条气好喘！！！我慢慢行返落去，其实下面有嗰公众温泉，每日傍晚7点会开放，但係要着泳衣！哎！算啦，我唔想多唸，我转地铁去到“忠孝复兴站”嘅“太平洋SOGO” 作最后“冲刺”！

“太平洋SOGO”里面嘅T-parts售货员好鬼热情，一直俾我试好多件衫，仲话“我给你打多一折，够意思了吧？！”“我有一为马来西亚客人定期来我这里买，我都会特别打折，别家做不到！”“这件很漂亮，你穿得刚好！”。我都差点俾嗰sales嘅搞昏咗！买咗三件衫，其实好想继续买，但由于星期日，9点半就闩门。我算係好last minute俾钱嗰个! 最搞笑，俾完钱，我揾唔到门口出，竟然跟住啲员工由员工exit行出去（因为啲sales都会着得好好睇，我仲以为佢哋係顾客），嗰实Q都猛同我讲对唔住，我好唔好意思！

买完，我就返Taipei Hostel执行李，call的士，梳洗完就训！翰樂，我哋返嚟啦！

Note: 虽然提早返大马，overall喺台湾嘅几日都足够令我有再次到台湾嘅冲动！

（完）

A Wonderful Wedding

Last Sunday, Jason and I had attended Say Mun and Wei Ching's wedding dinner. Unlikely other, the ROM is held before the dinner start.

Indeed, a great wedding takes time for preparation, so far, Say Mun's wedding is the most complete one I have ever attended. The overall atmosphere was just nice and neatly done. I like their photo and video both pre-wedding and the ceremonies very much! They are simple, cool background music and brilliant ideas. I should say Redbliss had really done a good job!

Last Sunday I was really glad to be there as a guest, the photo slides play and remind me the good old college days. Those day we were in lab, those day we were playing bowling and peep on the Sunway college girl on next lane – I was once question about his “taste”, of course Wei Ching is a great choice – they really look alike, this is what we called “couple face” in chinese!!!

Say Mun & Wei Ching, I wish we can be neighbor in Aust one day! By then you can really send your kid to us when you are busy and vice versa! Haha!

我比寻日早起身，因为今日要去台北。梳洗完，就拉住嗰好鬼重嘅行李出发，Jason陪我行去Sogo搭的士去高铁站。好巧，我遇返嗰日载我去“逢甲夜市”嘅的士司机！佢原先唔记得我，我同佢倾下倾下，佢话“哦！你是马来西亚来的那个！我记起了！那么快就走了？”...哈哈！

到咗高铁站（我记唔起的士费係几多钱），我同个的士司机道别，然后行入去买飞。我睇下个时间表，决定搭2：20班车去台北（NTD630）。买飞嗰阵，我见到有对老夫妇因为排咗好耐都买唔到飞而闹到个售票员面红红。其实嗰Queue好短好快嘎，可能因为排喺uncle前面个位乘客嘥咗比较多时间买飞，于是个工作人员指咗去另外一嗰counter，另外个嗰counter售票员又唔知头唔知路叫以为uncle插位，叫佢两公婆排队。个两老真係好火气，个售票员一面讲对唔住一面解释！

高铁站里面

我买完飞，未睇完戏就行咗过去Mcdonalds买早餐，我喺台湾嘅第一餐McD，NTD105！

去到台湾都仍然係食McChicken

食完仲有时间，就行下嘥时间。我乘得闲，将大马嘅sim卡插入手提电话睇下有乜sms。立刻收到我大哥嘅短讯话翰樂入咗院！！！我突然间觉得好烦恼，一直问自己点解点解？！？！即刻call俾我妈，可惜手提电话冇人接！我更加烦恼，心唸：死啦！电话都唔接咁大祸？！于是call俾我大哥，佢话翰樂发高烧而入院！我不停咁打电话返大马，打到第三通，我爸接咗，话佢去紧医院交个手提电话俾我妈，叫我多一阵再打返去。

我喺高铁站错过咗一班车（其实係无所谓，因为可以搭下一班），我坐喺张凳到，心里面只係希望樂樂快点退烧！我心唸，坐喺度都做唔到点乜嘢，就上咗下一班车。我喺高铁就快要到“新竹”嘅时候，call到我妈。佢话樂樂发烧，唔肯食嘢更唔肯食药，冇办法先至送佢入院，暂时係退烧训着咗。我听到咁，个心先至放得低。通知咗Jason个仔嘅情况，冇几远，我到达咗台北。

到咗台北，其实就等于我到咗台北车站，呢虚就係高铁，台铁同地铁主要嘅interchange。好方便，好多人！果然係台北！我因为拉住个luggage，又揾唔到升降机，于是就夹硬用力慢慢咁拖住佢行楼梯落。由于太攰，相都唔影。买咗张NTD500嘅“悠游卡”（100蚊係deposit)，就搭上地铁，去到“善导寺”站。之前定咗嘅Taipei Hostel，就离开呢个站冇几远！我死蠢，懒叻连地址都唔抄低，搞到自己行咗好长嘅冤枉路（由“忠孝东路一段”朝着“林森北路”行到“市民大道”，再行返转头），打咗好几通电话俾Jason先至揾到间Taipei Hostel。

好戏在后头，搭lift上到去6楼，原来Taipei Hostel真係好甩! 俾咗日租（我选择住一日，交一日）攞埋锁匙先知道原来我间房喺楼上。我唯有焗住上，一级一级慢慢拉我嘅rimowa上楼。之前仲懒有型，以为睇落好似好富贵，原来背后咁闭翳！我都惊其他back packer笑我笨，嚟Taipei Hostel带rimowa喔，傻仔！虽然Taipei Hostel甩，但係都算设备齐全，都卫生干净。

我所住嘅单位

我休息下，换件衫，天经已快黑（大约5点几）。我决定去24小时营业嘅诚品书店睇下环境，因为打算最后一晚，同Jason拎埋啲行李嚟呢虚过夜（因为第二朝早机，咁可以慳返少少）。于是，我坐地铁去“市政府站”（原来去到先知道，24小时诚品唔係喺呢度！！！应该搭地铁去“忠孝敦化站”！！！）。

既然已经嚟咗，就行下。一出“市政府站”，我跟住人潮转个街口，就见到好夺目嘅蓝色灯建筑，原来係“新光三月”A4建筑（“新光三月”仲有A8，A9，A10，A11等几座由桥连起嘅建筑）。

“新光三月”A4建筑隔条街就係“诚品信义旗舰店”。企喺度，仲可以见到“台北101”

“诚品旗舰店”门口，望过对面就係“台北101”

我入去“诚品”行下，其实目的係要买台北旅游册子。当然，呢度除咗卖书，楼下同其他商场一样，都係玲琅满目嘅商品。我买完嘢就过咗去“新光三越”。

“新光三越”A8

由A4行到A8，再由A8行到A9会见到Miu Miu专卖店

好热闹！有街头表演，啲Golden Retriever好靓！！！

位置：A9-A11天桥之间

我楼supermarket买咗啲日常用品（Taipei Hostel要自备呢啲嘢），之后再去A9楼下，买IT Gadgets嘅部门买咗个充点器就唔打算再行。影完相，我就行返去地铁再返Taipei Hostel休息。我12点几，走楼对面街嘅7仔（近“善导寺”地铁站））买水同杂志，个staff嘅态度係我嚟台湾见过最差嘅工作人员！真係想去complaint鬼佢！佢衰到喺个洗手盘度申鼻涕！我睇杂志睇到4点几...ZZZzzzzZZzzzzZzZZzzzzz

其实成日都好挂心樂樂，唔知佢ok吗？

Taiwan Trip (Part 4 of 6）

17th Oct 2008
-------------
今日训迟点，因为太早出都冇乜节目。
大概十一点几，Jason同我先至出去食早餐。我哋其实冇乜目的地，唸住睇到有乜啱口味就OK。见到豆浆档，行前去经已卖晒！嗯...係唔係我哋训得太迟？再行前点，见到有间卖美式早餐嘅，就呢间！

份量好似细咗点！不过味道OK!

食完早餐，Jason要返工。我继续explore台中。其实我係好想剪发，因为觉得冇乜精神（虽然头发係短，但係觉得好似好难睇，兼难梳）。过马路，面前就有两三间理发铺，睇见有间写“剪268”，就呢间！

之后我由華美西街一段，朝住公益路行去。目的地係“勤美诚品绿园道”同“Nova”。
沿途街景

行到去公益路，见到有嗰大草场，原来係叫“市民广场”。见到有人係草场中央setup紧sound system，应该係有show。草场边有好多树，树低有凳，有几位老人家坐喺度倾计，好休闲。隔条巷仔，就是好多旅游手册所介绍嘅“法国南部”。由于我食饱咗，所以冇入去试。我求其影几张相，就过对面嘅“勤美诚品绿园道”。
“市民广场”

过咗条马路，就係“勤美诚品绿园道”，嗰building係间shopping mall，楼上有诚品书店！

呢间shopping mall係诚品旗下嘅商店，里面都唔係太大，都好齐全！我直接上诚品floor，感觉同Borders大同小异，但当然，呢虚中文书籍居多。我喺CD/DVD部门，见到啲CD种类比大马嘅多同齐全，有好多Jason喜爱啲地下音乐。我揀咗两张CD（2007小草地二年级音乐同学会 + 村上春树的爵士部屋，共NTD 298蚊），再过去睇下啲儿童书籍。买咗啲认字卡同拼图俾翰樂，NTD 258蚊，仲有一本“小公主的秘密日记”俾正在发育嘅外甥女恺欣，NTD 249蚊。我喺诚品逗留咗好耐，俾完钱，就落楼下。意外揾到对心水Converse，仲係特价品，于是买咗，NTD1440！仲即可换鞋！

我走去玩具部，原本打算买啲玩具俾翰樂，但係嗰虚有嘅基本上马来西亚都有。之后，随便行下，都冇买其他嘢就落咗楼下间starbucks，买咗杯hot chocolate（size grande NTD125蚊），贵过大马！

饮完，继续前进。行去Nova（就好似KL嘅Low Yat咁，卖电脑同电脑配件为主，仲有手提电话等等，不过就冇Low Yat咁大）。我去顺随係职业病，睇下同买嗰转换插头（NTD70）。买完，我就走！

当时其实身上嘅台币所剩无几，需要揾提款机提款。于是，行过对面街间银行用我嘅ATM卡提款。我试咗两次都唔得，就问下旁边嘅工作人员（佢哋当时係忙紧将啲现金箱摆入提款机里面）。台湾人的确友善，帮我check咗之后确定我张卡可以喺台湾提款，话可能大马嗰边可能有啲限制，建议我打嗰电话返大马问。我讲声多谢，转个身行出去打电话返Maybank。原来真係要activate嗰service先！5分钟后，提款成功！我突然觉得比较有安全感！

我行出银行，企喺嗰十字路口，唸我好唔好去美术馆？都只不过係一条直路，由Nova朝住“英才路”直行就可以到达“国立台湾美术馆”...好啦就去美术馆啦！

一转入“英才路”就见到间庙

沿路上，路边都係树木

条路话远唔远，话近唔近。我用旅游手册嘅地图ratio嚟几，大概由Nova行“国立台湾美术馆”应该有1KM。

越嚟越接近美术馆

到啦到啦

连渠盖都有“国立台湾美术馆”嘅字

其实附近有好点靓嘅艺术品影，但因为好晒，我好想快点入去所以冇影到

终于见到“国立台湾美术馆”外貌

入口

里面嘅设计同装饰

啲字唔係我手震影到咁嘅效果，而係就算你企喺度睇都係同样嘅效果！

里面影出去，同外面影入嚟

Minimalist feel~~

值得一提，里面有个展览叫Pencil Walker，我好欣赏佢嘅作品。几副好大嘅黑白画，冇特别嘅图案，只有直线同波浪线条。我係minimalist崇拜者，睇见咁嘅作品，于是行近点了解下。呢位艺术家自称为“Pencil Walker”，佢每一个作品平均须时2-3个钟。每次都会带上面罩贴上麥克風，手臂绑上铅笔钻同录音机，口念心经，喺块白色画板前往返行走，用铅笔画上条纹，用录影机记载整个过程。基于唔可以影相，我唯有放个link俾大家参观下。（咦！我依家想起，原来佢都係姓“石”）
石晉華个人网站
Exhibition －An Account of Pen Walking Serial and Pencil Walker
我行完美术馆，买咗点纪念品，就踏出美术馆前往“美术园道咖啡街”。

沿路街景

美术馆附近，就係好多咁嘅landscape，傍晚时间好多人可以喺度放狗，倾计，悠闲一番

原来呢度都有“日出，乳酪蛋糕”

行到“美术园道咖啡街”几乎间间餐厅都有自己嘅特色，我觉得好colourful，难怪啲婚纱店会带顾客嚟呢度影相！我去到睇到三对Couples影紧无同嘅角度。有好多人放狗！啲狗好靓！

因为我冇食lunch，去到“美术园道咖啡街”已经係5点几，好鬼饿！于是就揀咗两本guide都推荐嘅Pumpkin House作为我晚餐餐厅！呢度啲侍应真係好笑容，态度顶瓜瓜！佢哋可以将餐牌上嘅事物好详尽咁解释一番，你唔洗惊你唔知食咗啲乜嘢落肚！我嘅晚餐，NTD451蚊，有汤，有配菜，有意大利面，有饮品，有甜品。味道几乎唔够浓，环境就几唔错！

食完买单，出外面行下，着咗灯嘅餐厅，又无同哦！
“Pumpkin House南瓜屋”同“Little Itagy”嘅外貌

“Papillon”同“安徒生”

“桃花源”，楼上嘅座位好特别，睇睇上面嘅相比较清楚

离开“美术园道咖啡街”前一刻，见到呢嗰牌

我之后行咗出大街搭的士到“一中夜市”。呢次搭到嘅的士，嗰司机好严肃，唔多讲嘢，我唯有四周围影下相。

一中夜市同其他嘅夜市对我嚟讲係冇乜分别，我基本上只不过係想睇下。我随便咁行下，之后去咗“中友百货”。唔知係唔係礼拜五，“中友百货”好似比起其他百货人潮多好多！睇落唔多起眼，以为好细间，原来佢係由三栋楼搭桥连起嘅百货公司！好多人啊！我走去supermarket试下揾我妈交代我买嘅芝麻五谷既冲饮品，有喔！我唔知边只味道好，几乎只只都买两包！买完先知道原来咁重！我行完“中友百货”，对脚好似就快瘫咗，行去搭的士啲步伐慢到似只蜗牛，连的士司机都话我好似好懒散，无里精神咁！

返到Sogo，call Jason，原来佢同班同事喺楼下饮嘢，我joined佢哋，饮完就返aparment休息。休息前，收拾好行李，听朝要北上台北！Yeah!

My First Canon Photomarathon (2008)

2008-11-06T15:24:00.016+08:00

Last Saturday, for the very first time, I've joined Canon Photomarathon Jason. We reached Times Square KL around 7:30am+. The queue was indeed LOOOONG, it looks like a big U-shape queue!!!

After such a long queuing, we finally registered ourselves and got the nice polo tee with cap and towel, the lanyard is nice too! Canon also sponsored breakfast and teabreak on that event!

After changing the shirt, we thinking to how fully utilise the cap and towel

The contestants were given by the 1st theme at Times Square, following with 2nd theme @ Pavilion KL and and last theme at KLCC. We think this marketing strategy is GOOD as normal day we can hardly see everyone wearing red at the road carrying camera and shooting around.

In front Times Square

The first theme was "Indulge Metropolitan", it seems everyone was being scared off by the word "Indulge". People start digging the dictionary online via mobile phone, busy asking around for idea. :D The first thing came to my mind - Haagen Daaz... I personally think something that you love very much about the city live and the photo shall makes us love staying in KL. Unfortunately, I can't really capture it using my camera, perhaps, lack of skill and lack of creativity.

At Jalan Sultan Ismail

Trying luck at Starhill and KL Plaza

After we picked up the 2nd theme (Mess In Rules) from Pavilion, we then decided to walk to KLCC while trying our luck along the hot hot hot journey.

My attempt for "Mess In Rules"

Here some of the casual shoot at KLCC area (I love things in series or sequence)

We then stopped by and had our sushi lunch at KLCC. The moment we finished the lunch and walked out from Sushi King, we saw Clive buying his lunch and he told us the final theme was "Go Green". We continue the luck search journey at Petaling Street. The weather was too hot and exhausted. We stopped by for Lor Hon Gor drink and glance through some LV imitation :P

At the Wet Market (中华巷)

Trying luck at road side

We need liquid - Air Mata Kucing (罗汉果）

We back to Times Square by Monorail and submitted our photos and we left not long after that. We are still wondering, who are the winners and how well they did it?

I'm just a beginner who doesn't put affect in photography... I don't expect compliment nor prize joining this kind of event. It is a bonus for lazy bone like me (who sit in office always) to have a chance for exercise. After half day under hot sun, my hands and neck start to have heat rash again. It is there since I was in Taiwan... and become worst after the photomarathon. :P

第二日训醒，Jason要返工。
我就开始我一人旅途。太早啦，九点几，Sogo又未开始营业。见到咁大LV旗艦店，影底先！

LV台中旗艦店

之后，继续行下睇下街景，睇下台中人啲生活作息。
行下行下，见到7仔，唉，横点啲铺又未开，不如食嗰早餐先。
买咗个肠仔同Ovaltine，再买枝笔方便自己做笔记（合计台币96蚊）。坐低慢慢叹。

7仔早餐

坐我隔离係两个著住全黑衫裤嘅女士，一位边食早餐边睇报纸，另一位等紧佢份便当早餐。我就问係唔係喺Sogo返工嘎？原来佢哋係唔识对方，就因为我一句，大家倾起嚟。隔离嗰位小姐原来由台北嚟到台中返工，今日係第一日返Sogo，佢仲话已经6年冇嚟过台中！倾下倾下，仲倾埋啲政治同时事新闻。我大概睇下啲娱乐新闻，好似大部分（绝大部分）都係台湾艺人嘅新闻，好少要香港艺人嘅报道，可能嗰日嘅娱乐版台湾艺人比较有娱乐！

食完，我哋一齐离开7仔，佢哋返Sogo，而我就继续我嘅台湾“慢”游。出到条街到，我对咗嗰地图，先知道原来自己仍然喺apartment楼下！仲以为自己行咗好远！唉！

接着落嚟哽係再去精明街多一次，因为係最近同买比较熟悉（因为寻日夜晚行过一次）。

沿途路上嘅建筑物

事关我冇带衫，所以先要买点衫裤。我十一点到到咗精明一街，当然首先见到熟悉嘅“春水堂”餐厅。

台中精明一街“春水堂”餐厅

大部分其他店都係未开嘎！！！我由“精明一街”，街头行到街尾，只是用咗三分钟（条街好短）。“精明一街”尽头就是“大隆路”。我见到有间Hello Kitty专卖店，买咗嗰手信俾我二嫂（台币560蚊）。之后，因为实在太多铺未开，我只好喺冇乜选择情况之下行行行，见到有心水店开咗就入去睇睇。仲走去试埋Bra添！

再行过去“精明二街”，见到有凳，所以坐下，影下相。

精明二街，街景

之后转返入“大墩十九街”，见到一嗰摊位卖儿童装，写住“100”。我睇下，又几靓喔！嗰Sales好礼貌，一直同我倾计同俾意见我。啲童装真係几唔错，值得介绍俾大家！！！我买咗6件童装，合计台币600蚊，好抵！呢档童装位置于，“精明二街”同“大墩十九街”交界路口，佢摆正喺一间叫做“Wa & Co”嘅时装店门前。

平，靓，正童装

继续我嚟精明商圈嘅目的，买衫！我前后行咗入三间铺，我买咗7件衫，两条内搭裤（合计大约4千几台币）。
买完衫(嗰阵我喺“精明一街”），嗰Sales问我食咗未？我问有乜好介绍，佢话就隔两间唔错嘎。我唸都唔需要唸就过咗去呢间叫做“古今烧”嘅餐厅！叫咗份260蚊三杯鸡套餐，有饭，有湯，有水，有菜，有肉！味道唔错！

精明一街“古今烧”餐厅

食饱，唸住再行下，我又逗返嚟“大隆路”。要讲下呢间“日出，修道院的乳酪蛋糕”，我係俾佢门口嗰两張bench吸引，先致走入间店。先头仲以为刞哋买CD，入咗去，个员工立刻抵杯茶俾我，我心唸，茶同CD有乜嘢关系？睇下睇下，咦！真係有cheesecake嘎喔！睇清楚嗰item list，先明白佢哋有啲乜嘢卖！因为包装得好特别，请唔好怪我大乡哩！要怪就怪大马冇啲咁创意嘅产品！2盒土凤梨酥，1盒牛软糖，1盒蓝梅牛软糖，1盒CD装瓦片饼(杏仁饼），加送1CD装太阳饼＋瓦片饼（合计台币1589蚊）。

“日出，修道院的乳络蛋糕”，从外面睇的确惹人注目

CHEESECAKE!

啲包装，睇落仲以为係卖紧CD或书籍

买完饼，因为拎住太多嘢，就快快行返apartment放底啲嘢，冲返个凉，再换件新衫。影下啲战利品。

堆衫

日出饼同糖果包装，好似一堆CD，书同邮件，靓！

拆开咗嘅牛软糖同蓝梅软糖

其他拆开咗嘅包装

未拆前

二嫂嘅手信

再返出去，天开始黑，哦，五点几就开始天黑？我顺住条路行到去LV，哽係入去参观下！明知台湾LV贵点，我都竟然可以落手买咗嗰散银包（7800蚊台币，5%回税）！然后再过对面Sogo，入去其实唔打算要买嘢。行下行下，见到Lowrys Farm啲衫真係正，不过我始终都冇落到手！反而觉得自己件衫好似好单调，于是买咗件好薄嘅尊领衫嚟内襟(台币1380)，立即去洗手间换衫，哈哈！

入到洗手间，有一种“哗”一声嘅感觉！好靓喔！

台中Sogo原来唔係Jason所讲嘅14层，而是18层！点解人哋嘅Sogo可以係咁齐全同潮，点解大马嘅Sogo只不过係马来人同印尼人聚集点？（我唔係排斥同带有色眼光，只不过，我去到真係觉得唔安全）。

行完Sogo，就喺门口搭的士去逢甲。可能习惯性上的士第一件事要记车牌同睇司机资料，嗰的士车牌012-MW，好容易记！同嗰的士佬倾计，我话“你们的士这一行在台湾还不错吧？旅客都很多！”，死，佢竟然听唔明！原来佢听唔明“的士”两个字！佢话台湾人都叫“计乘车”，都怪我平时少讲华语！同的士大佬了解咗之后，先知道原来台湾的士系统都係统一咗，方便啲旅客，唔洗惊住俾的士佬呃！同大马比，冇得比！

去到逢甲，012-MW的士大佬直接指咗我去逢甲夜市条街。我第一条夜市街！哈哈！好多人！好多年青人，我唸应该係因为大学就喺隔离街嘅原因啩！我试咗臭豆腐，可能係炸嘅关系，都唔臭嘅！我一个人行，真係试唔得多，食少少就饱！

福星路同逢甲路交界

逢甲夜市


我行行行，行到去条大马路，已经开始见唔到人潮。我攞嗰map嚟睇，哇，我真係行得，由逢甲路同文华路交界，行完成条文华路，再转返入西屯路二段，转入至善路在返逢甲路，然后行卖福星路附近啲商店。我唸，台湾人点可以唔潮？去到边都係卖潮嘢。但係！我好似未睇到买好多波鞋嘅店喔，随口问下身边位男士，佢打量咗我一眼，问返我係唔係香港人，我话唔係，之后佢指我去条街话可以揾到波鞋。我一转身，佢用广东话话：“喂，咁多位，够钟啦，麻烦上车去下一站！”。啊！原来係香港导游！

我行紧去揾波鞋时见到有间米兰站（喺福星路），走咗入去，真係有限量版LV Damier Neverfull！碌卡，台币31500!
然后再去揾波鞋！不过，揾唔到心水款，之后就搭的士返Sogo。台湾交通嘅次序令我觉得有少少鄂然，啲司机有少少乱嚟同唔守次序！返到Sogo再行返apartment，好攰好攰！

Taiwan Trip (Part 2 of 6)

2008-10-23T20:37:00.026+08:00

15th Oct 2008
--------------
早上八点几就起身，睇下啲行李齐未。
等翰樂起身，驾架车带佢round下，买盒饼俾佢，然后好唔舍得就出发。
1030：我搭LRT由"Ampang"站到去"Bandar Tasik Selatan"站，再转KLIA Transit 到KLIA机场。

1200：到达KLIA，check-in。

小插曲：我少出国，完全唔知原来100ml或以上嘅液体盛器係唔可以hand-carry入机仓！Check-in counter嘅工作人员话应该同Luggage 一齐check-in。大佬，我何来有Luggage俾你Check-in啊？可能出路遇贵人，而我样又唔似坏人，有贵人帮我带咗两尊skin-care入閘！真係好多谢佢！

1420：飞机准时起飞！

（路途，睇咗赤壁，同半套Baby Mama)

1845：月亮好大好圆好近！加上台湾夜景，就好似一幅画呈现喺我眼前！

1920：到达桃园机场。

揾厕所先，见到厕所里头有嗰紧急紧掣。虽然唔知到底係乜，拍低先！

方便完就揾车搭去高铁，完全忘记咗其实自己可以选择搭的士，或者搭巴士！最闭係我完全忘记“宝贝机”一事！好彩高铁转驳巴士未到，我突然醒起“宝贝机”，先止返转头。攞咗“宝贝机”，顺手申请卖“青年卡”，再顺口问下去台中搭吀嘢交通工具比较好。

嗰靓女建议我搭巴士，因为搭的士会贵点而且用嘅时间同搭巴士冇乜分别。
搭高铁基本上省唔到多时间，因为由桃园机场搭转驳巴士到高铁站可能要花20分钟，然后要等高铁可能又要花10-20分钟，到咗台中仍然係要搭巴士或的士到Sogo。
最后我选择咗听靓女话，搭巴士，我捡咗Ubus，台币270。

2230：到达台中Sogo，见到Jason啦！

由Sogo行返Jason嘅apartment真係好鬼近！Sogo隔条小巷就係LV！
返到apartment，放底啲嘢就出去揾嘢食。
由于经已11点，外面啲店铺都已经已经闩得七七八八。我哋行到去精明一街，见到“春水堂”仲未闩，拉拉临入去食啲嘢。一碗顶级XO酱搅拌面，一杯胚芽奶茶，一杯茉奶珍珠，合计台币290。

注：原来喺度食嘢，中size嘅计算方法係细size嘅两份！比如话，如果细碟係70呅，而你order中size，咁喺嗰单上你会见到，70蚊两份。我先头仲以为嗰cashier搞错咗！:P

食完两人漫步好宁静嘅精明商圈，去咗7仔买包“玫瑰凉烟”俾同事Cathy，买牙刷同湿纸巾。Jason话台湾四周围都有7-11，佢搞笑话，喺呢度迷失路，你咪话俾人听你喺间7-11附近！之后我哋行多一阵就返apartment大觉索（训觉）。

注：原来买烟，收据上有“健康捐”一项(嗰包烟嘅健康捐係台币10蚊)，我唔係好清楚係乜，应该係一点唔健康嘅食品或用品都会有嘅抽税项目。政府唔鼓励消费者食用嘅嘢，例如槟榔，都一一需要俾健康捐。

注：原来台湾啲收据大部分都一样尺寸（4.4cm x 19cm)，咋眼睇，好似唔多环保。但大部分人都唔会就咁就抌咗去，因为翻去后面，就好似一张大马彩，分分钟会中奖噶（虽然机会渺茫，但年中咁多张收据，日日都有希望）！

Taiwan Trip (Part 1 of 6)

2008-10-23T19:54:00.011+08:00

返到马来西亚，又係时候Blog啦！

到台湾原因：
--------
Jason到台湾公干两个月，乘佢未返嚟，我先过去玩，然后一起坐机返！

准备
---
好期待，但係准备工作都一直未做好。
我基本上係唔想跟住啲旅游手册去行，我知道咁会无乜惊喜同一般旅行团冇乜分别！
但基于第一次到台湾，又大部分时间自己一个人行，所以去咗书局参考咗一啲台湾旅游书，抄低些少资料，以防万一。

入网上论坛，见到有人话应该要申请“宝贝机”同“青年卡”，于是，我就Click入睇清楚係乜东东。
原来青年卡係俾30岁或以下嘅人士申请嘅，係用嚟鼓励青年人多多到台湾旅游！

Crazee Action - My first Rimowa

2008-09-24T19:14:00.014+08:00

Tuesday:
I'd started surveying for my luggage bag and Faye Wong came into my mind.

Months back, I saw the press reported about her family bringing along their Rimowa luggage bags to Bhutan for Anthony Leung and Carina Lau wedding. The first impression from the picture (on newspaper) - What so special about those luggage bag?

I've logged on to www.google.com.hk, search for "王菲(Faye)" and "行李(luggage)" and found this link. Oohh... it is call - Rimowa.

I continue my search about "Rimowa" and browse through their official site and forums. It seems most of the users are giving good review. I was aiming the Salsa series for the sake of minimal design and reputation.

After work, I went to KL Pavilion to try my luck for Rimowa. Unfortunately, Rimowa had been removed from the retail line in Malaysia (Isetan) recently due to the selling strategy issue. So I went back home but continue surf (when my son is sleeping).

I found this guy on Flickr - Irwin who carry Rimowa product... gosh... huge collection!

I personally like the limited edition Rimowa X Camper Salsa very much!!!!!! However, it was only available in HK on May '08 and it was fully sold on the very first day it launched! Aiks! I'd contacted Irwin, and it seems he can't help me to get one.

Stunning Rimowa X Camper! I really envy for those who having it!

Temporary give up... ZzzzZzZZZZzzzzz

Wednesday:
Morning, I rang to the local distributor, they only have red and silver colour. I rang to HK Rimowa, they have no white Salsa in HK. Rang to HK Camper for crossover edition, obviously - can't get. Rang to Taiwan and after talked to the customer service lady, I then decided - the Rimowa Salsa (white edition)!

It will be delivering to Jason office in Taichung in 4 - 5days time... can't wait to see it when I reach Taiwan! By then I will shop and fill up the space of my Rimowa! Hmm... come to think of it... shall I depart to Taiwan with just plastic bag? Ahhh... don't care... I'm already feeling very exciting now!

Wedding Dinner cum Little gathering

2008-09-15T10:54:00.009+08:00

Last Sunday (14.09.08) attended a wedding dinner of my primary school classmate - Mei Mei. Usually wedding dinner have no big surprise... but yet this was a special one.

Mei Mei (the bride) invited a special guest to perform harmonica. I then only got to know, the special guest is our primary school mate - Oscar. He is not only doing great in his Insurance business, rather he is also a well-known Harmonicaist! Not that I know of!

I also meet an old secondary schoolmate - Sim, on that night :D

Present for Han Ler

2008-09-03T23:55:00.004+08:00

Tomorrow will be Han Ler's 2years old birthday!
I've decided to get him a pair of new shoes. Jason agreed!

After work, I went to Pavilion... I went to Paul Frank, Obaibi, GAP, Pumpkin Patch, Hallmark, Mothercare, Quiksilver Kids and finally found one I prefer at Converse.
I was very excited and can't wait to show him the shoes! Hoping he will like it too!

I reach home late, he was already sleep.
I snapped some picture, so that can show it to Jason tomorrow via MSN.
After that, I wrapped the shoes and and snap more picture.

My Little Airport @ KL 观后感

2008-09-02T15:04:00.014+08:00

(All photo copied from http://mlaliveinkl.blogspot.com/
期待嘅8月30号音乐会，话咁快就过咗3日。
几回味下！呢两三日，日日都哼住My Little Airport 嘅歌...
基本上，我最遗憾嘅係我死蠢，相机冇charge到电, 坐得咁近都影唔到!
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
我7:30pm就去到嗰Hall，工作人员未setup完。
念到今次冇死，可以坐得咁近，实影到靓相。
点知，佢哋话要清场...　我哋唯有行出去等。
君女同Soundscape嘅阿Mark喺入门处卖T恤同CD。
由于今嗰月预算超资，我只係买咗My Little Airport一饼CD。
其实，我等紧佢哋摆电棒CD出嚟，等到阿达话可以入场，我更係入场先啦。

睇我企住喺门口，惊死冇靓位

我坐喺第二排

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
坐定定，等开场。
突然间，工作人员启动将嗰舞台电动廉，两块布慢慢想中间移...　移下移下...有人嗌"OOoohhhh...OOhhh!!"... 我见到嗰两张台开始冧...阿Hai飞上台，接得一边，接唔到另一变。　架Notebook同其他乐器就跌嗮落地！
其他工作人员同电棒成员行前帮手...
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
有惊无险，一切如期进行。
第一支，电棒
我钟意...　冇乜意见或批评...
钟意佢哋嘅新曲Happy...
加油！

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
第二支，Ika
我第一次睇佢哋表演...简单嘅乐器...一切好简单...
就因为乐器简单，显示得女主音同吉他手嘅实力并不简单...
用一首Disappear嚟收场...干净利落

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
第三支，亦都係今日嘅主角　－　My Little Airport

一出场，我震咗下，心唸　"死咯，点解四条友嘅？死咯！我喺blog度仲写一男一女添！"
其实，另两人係22 Cats嘅 bassist(阿賢)同drummer(阿科).

开始表演，佢哋唔多讲嘢.
唱下唱下...　Nicole话:"喂，不如你讲吓嘢啊..."
阿P话其实佢哋好多嘢讲，Nicole仲话阿P搞笑在行。
但阿P俾咗嗰答案另到我哋觉得有少少失望, 佢话:"我惊你哋听唔明"。
讲完，下面的人有点反应。

Nicole同阿P无论唱紧歌又或则讲紧嘢，两人眼神言行好似好有feel... 其实佢哋係唔係有嘢嘎?!

到阿P唱Debbie, don't send this song to others... 佢支咪冇咗声...
Nicole代唱... 然后又指下阿P支咪...
好似冇人有反映... (可能大家唔熟悉呢首歌...唔知原来係阿P主唱)!
Nicole唱唱下又指下阿P支咪...就话:"唔得丫... 呢首歌係阿P唱嘎...佢支咪冇声丫..."
下边啲人先至恍然大悟, 阿Hai拉拉临上去换支咪。
Nicole再补多一句："呢首歌阿P唱会唔同点..."

佢哋每一首歌，间短而另人回味...
我数唔到佢哋唱咗几多，感觉好多号多...
要提一提，阿P洗琴好劲！

佢哋随兴唱咗首喺香港从未曾公开演出嘅歌...
首歌开始大概係咁唱... 刘小秋小姐，我好挂住... (跟住嗰点歌词，我唔记得）
(阿P提醒我哋，刘小秋嗰单嘢，唔好暴出去... 係真唔係嘎？！）

意想不到，竟然有encore...再嚟一首<<我愛官恩娜，都不及愛你的哨牙>>
帮工作人员呢一刻当然要热一下，跑到台前跳下放下。

Nicole多谢主办单位时，记错"动态度"as "动作动"，佢道歉话已经好用心去记。有点搞笑。

只可惜，可能大家对My Little Airport认识甚浅，台下并冇任何大合唱，大家都坐得太定！
其实好应该嚟嗰freestyle，行行企企，以最casual嘅方式去享受呢场show！
呢帮观众唔同平时班gig友... 其实我都好象跳下！

当然，要多谢动态度, Soundscape... sponsors... 另我认识My Little Airport。
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
睇完Show，行出去买电棒CD，然后食晚餐，其实应该係宵夜。
最顶嘅係，睇完Show，食完嘢，仲要返公司check条线路！
我要到几时先至可以摆脱呢间公司嘅枷锁！

Casual Pic @ Yo! Sushi

2008-07-30T23:06:00.003+08:00

For quite some times, I didn't had dinner with Jason due to heavy workload on both of us.
We went to Midvalley for shop and dinner... we picked Yo! Sushi.

The lighting is good... but food is so so!

I'd listened song this on the Chinese radio last Friday... they were half way talking about the unity problem in Malaysia... Indeed, we as Malaysian are "well-separated" by race due to the political practises throughout all these (suck) years!

I'm glad and touch when getting knows people putting effort on the unity issue for us the Anak Malaysia. I personally think this is a very well-done piece of job! Hope this can continue... continue... continue... keep continue...

亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你

2008-05-20T12:43:00.007+08:00

母亲已死,3个月的孩子压在她身下,手机留下了: "亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你".
The mother is dead but she protected the 3 months old baby is right under her body, left with a message on the phone stated: "My dearest baby, if you are survive, please remember I love you very much!"
(I'm sorry I have not much time to translate the whole paragraph but get someone to read the story for you)

抢救人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被垮塌下来的房子压死的，透过那一堆废墟的的间隙可以看到她死亡的姿势，双膝跪着，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶着地支撑着身体，有些象古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压的变形了，看上去有些诡异。

救援人员从废墟的空隙伸手进去确认了她已经死亡，又在冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在在砖头上敲了几下，里面没有任何回应。当人群走到下一个建筑物的时候，救援队长忽然往回跑，边跑变喊“快过来”。

他又来到她的尸体前，费力的把手伸进女人的身子底下摸索，他摸了几下高声的喊“有人，有个孩子，还活着”。经过一番努力，人们小心的把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的身体下面躺着她的孩子，包在一个红色带黄花的小被子里，大概有3、4个月大，因为母亲身体庇护着，他毫发未伤，抱出来的时候，他还安静的睡着，他熟睡的脸让所有在场的人感到很温暖。

随行的医生过来解开被子准备做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里，医生下意识的看了下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你”，看惯了生离死别的医生却在这一刻落泪了，手机传递着，每个看到短信的人都落泪了。

Apple bought a Strawberry cake for early birthday celebration for Wilson. We had it as desert. Everyone was very full but I whack two slices of cake. Kekekke

Then we went yum cha at Oldtown (near Prima Setapak)(yes, fucking Oldtown again). The stories and movies talks by Wilson and Carmen were damn luin sui (mess)... but Funny!!!

Thaipusam - Photo Shooting

2008-01-24T00:08:00.014+08:00

23rd Jan 2008 is Thaipusam celebration and since it is announced as holiday for KL, I make a last minute decision to go photo shoot with Jason.

We reached there about 6am, paid RM10 parking fee (were we being con?). Walked a short distance to Batu Caves. This was my very first time been to Batu Caves, also the very first time came here for Thaipusam celebration (paiseh!!!).

We saw a lot of people overnight there at open space, they slept on the tar road. We walked around, did some shoot. However due to no flash (flash device was out of battery)... we were waiting for the sun to rise.

As expected, a lot of people came for photography and video shoot. Jason met some of his friends there... I met one of my friend too. Forgot to mention, this was my very first time go out shooting with Jason.

The photograph session was much easier than what I thought. We were able to stand very close to the procession crowd. I loves the colour, gestures, postures, music, dance, shout, "band and singer", people surrounding, the crowd... the entire atmosphere... I was enjoyable.

We walked towards the river side. Saw devotees bath, pray... some even have spear on the cheek / tongue... some might have hooks in their body - so called entering the trance. They feel no pain, no bleed (this one for sure) and no scar. AMAZING! I'm not very sure the real reason for all this. But found this on the Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaipusam

I respect and salute the procession who carried the Kavadi and walked up 270+ staircases all the way to the cave. We heard the crowd saying Vel Vel... Vel Vel... to the Kavadi bearer.... I'm ain't sure what this mean, maybe can ask my Indian colleagues later....

Before leaving Batu Caves, I bought some peacock feathers. We then headed to McD... while having lunch there... I can feel my legs were shaking after climbed up to the cave... so do Jason.

Company Dinner

2008-01-21T02:10:00.009+08:00

Last Saturday evening, we the ML (MacroLynx) gang celebrating our company dinner at Screaming Banana (Phileo Damansara I). About 30 over pax of attendances. The theme is fine dine + fine dress.... anyway... majority wearing casual.

Jason fetch me there around 7:45pm due to heavy traffic jam+rain+wrong direction. When I entered the room... hmm... the decor seems not bad...

Then I start to shooting photo arounds. The dinner started a bit late but we can still eat some appetizer / desserts while waiting everyone reached.

It started with Rick giving speech, simple and short one. Then we have our dinner and casual and comfortable one. I didn't eat much... thinking to shoot more photos... ended up... mussel all gone! Aiks!!!

We first had lucky draw... which draw by Hong, our sponsor for the dinner! Then we follow with games (balloon popping, light-weight fear factor (foods), undress the chicken drumstick but can't break the bone). Alot of laughters in the room. The most funniest is seeing Syah eat sushi. I think this is the very first time he eat wasabi where he dig the wasabi (only wasabi) and put into his mouth. Kakakkaka...

We also had the 2nd round lucky draw drawn by Rick. Finished up the games and some of us (non-muslim) staff toss with red-wine before going back. Although all the presents and prices is inexpensive one... but I guess everyone will appreciates the job committee (Shirley, Wilson and Apple) had done.

After stepped out Screaming Banana, our gang then headed TTDI Simone Bar for second round. We ordered a Chivas there and we finished it in 1 hour time - Jason managed to had one glass by the time he joined us. I feel very sleepy after get drunk. Apple keep laughing when I disturb her... funny!!! Then... we all realise... Steven seems loves to dance... another funny scene!!! The rest seems normal except Cher... he farted in front of Wilson... (I only got to know this during today lunch)... haahahhaa. I don't like the music in Simone (kinda bored and slow)... maybe as what Jason said the music in Bar and Club is very much different.

We then went to mamak stall... I really wanted to sleep straight. After mamak, the moment I step into the car... I take off my shoes and panty hose and sleep. Reach home... walked in then sleep at living room. Thanks to Jason for taking care me... kakaka. *BTW, forgot to mentioned: Yes... I did vommit... got blood somemore... sore throat... aiks!!!

Crazee colleagues...

2008-01-11T10:39:00.003+08:00

OK... I think... I never been out with a bunch of colleagues like them...

First, we plan for Wednesday movie but it seems not much good movie to choose on...
Then, we plan for EITHER bowling or Karaoke...
Finally, we went for dinner and BOTH bowling then Karaoke.

Our plan initially was:
- 8pm dinner at Izzi Bukit Bintang...
- 9pm bowling at Times Square...
- 12pm Karaoke at Sg Wang Greenbox...

Ended up:
- 8pm dinner at Izzi Bukit Bintang...
- 10pm bowling at Times Square...
- 12pm Karaoke at Sg Wang Greenbox...

The surprise was, they bought me a cheese cake for my birthday celebration... (we was playing - take turn to sing each of the phrase in 勁歌金曲 - by Leo Ku... then suddenly the song halt and change to Happy Birthday.... and the waiter bring in the cake.... [sweat...]).

Overall,
- Wilson doesn't sing much...
- Lee too... he said he is tired
- Carmen is very kind, play "liar dice" with Wilson & Lee...
- Stella likes to sing wor... next time must call her again... (Wilson no need to go nevermind)
- May Teing... new song challenger... (Finally, I know who is TANK now)
- Apple didn't sing solo much...
- Jason and me as usual... keep sing if we know the song...

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH for the KARAOKE session and CAKE!!!

Photos...

K-session

2007-12-11T10:56:00.006+08:00

For almost 2years plus stop Karaoke-ing, last Friday, finally I back to karaoke box with my hubby, friend (Kong Boon) and colleagues - Lee, Apple and Carmen.

I reach Greenbox at about 12am (it is kinda late - closing the stall and back home seeing HanLer for a while). While Carmen was waiting us at Greenbox since 11pm alone. Kekekekke.

This is the very first time I sing K with my colleagues and found out:
- Lee can rap well (sometimes)... but do sing well!
- Apple sing softly... but she likes Sammi Cheng's song too (I guess)...
- Carmen loves lovesong...
- Kong Boon sing like A-Du...
- Jason and me... feel high by ourselves... (I think the rest feel sleepy already at 3am)

Overall is good... but little sleepy... we went home about 4am... and this reminds me of Lee Hua, Charlie, Tsi Lok, Lai Yen.... when am I going to see you all again?

Touching...

2007-10-25T15:06:00.013+08:00

Copy from EMAIL content

A dog was knocked down by a car and died on the middle of the road. Later, another dog is seen beside the corpse of the dog, he tried to wake his friend up using his leg.

Hey, wake up! wake up!

When his attempts to wake his friend failed, he tried to push his friend to the side of the road. But the weight of his friend was proven too heavy for him.

Let's move to the safer side of the road...i will move you to the safer side!

Though the traffic is busy and dangerous, he just will not go away from his friend. Just stand beside his friend howling and crying.

Anyone help, tell me what to do.

A lot of people saw this incident and feel very touched. How even a dog can show his loyalty and love to his friend.

So, guys... if you ever see small animal running on the busy road, please help bring them to safer place...

Our Anniversary

2007-10-21T12:07:00.006+08:00

Yesterday, was Jason and mine two years anniversary. Jason had surprised me: He bought me a Canon 400D with a Sigma lens! Very sorry, I didn't buy any present for him. Initially wanted to go KLCC get him a present, but.... I fall in sleep in with Hanler... the time I woke up, Jason is already on his way back to home.

I quickly bath and changed clothes, my mom helped taking care Hanler, and both of us for the very first time, we went to Euro Deli for dinner. :D!

The moment we stepped in, I saw the "Every Saturday Buffet Dinner at RM65/pax". Thinking I can't each much, so we decided to take Ala-Carte menu.

There are majority white and chinese around, I think this is due to non-halal food serving. No long after we sat down, there is a round of lucky for the Buffet diners. The lucky dip winner are required to dance from their seat toward the redeem bar. The environment and atmosphere is warm and fun.

Our food and beverages came not long after. See this...
Pork Chop with Mashed Potatoes

Spagetthi Carbonara

It seems Euro Deli have non-stop activity, they have games for their diners... like... best drinker (male and female categories), chicken dance and so on. Jason and me snapping the photo during the games, the person in charge thought we were from press or magazine, we answered her "We snap for fun!"... Hehehe.

Overall experience at Euro Deli is good! Our anniversary celebration was simple yet enjoyable... we then went to KLCC and supper at OldTown Kopitiam near Ampang Waterfront.

Thank you dear dear...!!! Thanks for the present!!!
