I don't know how true is this information that I receive via chain mail, but it could act as a rough guideline if you're having some kind of flu, cough, or other symptoms of H1N1.

Preparing for another battle

So there she is, finally back from her studies and seemingly endless holiday
Here I am, yet to achieve anything worth a shouting about

She has always been the kind of girl that I would like to spend my time with
Smart, funny, active, organized, ambitious and independent
always a high achiever doing what best for herself

There is such a big contrast when I look back at myself
I believe in compatibility and it's always mutual
as you choose you are being chose
I don't see myself being the chosen

However, I'm unwilling to give up what's best for me
Even if the chances are slim, even if I know I may end up hurting
Even if the most probable answer would be
"Let's keep our friendship alive"
.
.
.

*update: and worse off then Let's keep our friendship alive, she told me she was married, FML

我不想知道的事

你现在好吗？有过得比从前幸福吗？
这里的情景已经改变的我认不出了
就连你爱荡的秋千也被拆掉了

你告诉我，你已经学会面对寂寞
懂得礼让 也开始了解以前的我
只是这一切似乎不再重要

chorus
我不想知道 你对他到底有多好
也不想知道 他对你多好
我只是想要 知道你到底过得好不好

我不想知道 他情人节得到什么礼物
也不想知道 你们亲密到什么程度
这些我都没权利在乎


对你有偶尔的想念
是种像普通朋友的关心
你别多心 我不多情
只是不想关心却换来伤心

repeat chorus

晚上心血来潮写下了这段词，可惜音乐造诣浅薄并未能谱出旋律。其实对这段词我也并不是很满意，毕竟写得有点太浅白了，像个小孩那样，而且字句长短不一。可是这确实我实实在在的心情，有时候与久情人联络并不是为了什么，或者放不下些什么，只是想像朋友一样关心一下对方，但听到的尽是一些他们有多甜蜜，他对我没有你对我的好，等等。其实这些并不轮到我在乎的东西我并不想知道，谢谢你的好意也原谅我自私但是这份喜悦我不想被分享到。

Lauee Home Kitchen- Fine Home Dinning

And so you are invited to try my fins lol



Lauee is a fine home dinning restaurant situated nearby the roundabout heading to Penang Hill. It is a restaurant whereby the doors are only opened if you have made reservations, so in a way it is quiet private. So if you want to have a nice and peaceful dinner this is the right place to go.

The restaurant is decorated in a way that you feel like as if you’re eating at home. The whole place is air conditioned. Just as you enter the door, there is a living room where there is a sofa and a TV to watch TV. Then as you walk in, you will see a beautiful outdoor garden/ fish pond right in the middle of the house. Around this area is where you will find a few tables and chairs where you have your dinner. I think it can accommodate 4 big round tables. But there are rooms which I think you can also eat in.

The specialty here is their Shark fin Soup (or Shark’s fin soup). They do not use those imitation sharks’s fin but they ONLY serve you genuine shark’s fin. Quote from Wikipedia, “Shark fin soup (or shark's fin soup) is a delicacy that has been a popular item of Chinese Cuisine since the Ming Dynasty, usually served at special occasions such as weddings and banquets. As a luxury item, the dish is also considered a symbol of wealth and prestige in Chinese culture”

A bowl or rather a “claypot” of the soup cost RM 50 but it is huge which 2 people can actually share. Soup is darker than the ones you eat outside, and it is filled with a lot of chinese mushrooms, crab meat and some egg. And in it you will find a huge chunk of shark’s fin in it. Served with a plate of cilantro leaves, some chili sambal and vinegar, it is up to you to put these in your soup however way you want it. For me, I poured in A LOT of vinegar to it (love it) and Ed took his favourite Cilantro leaves. This was perhaps my first time ever eating real shark’s fin. It tasted good. But I would not take this in a few years time as I felt a bit guilty knowing that the sharks were killed for this.

Shark’s fin soup

After having the soup, the other dishes slowly arrived. We had ordered Gooselegs, Huge Crab Claws with Tanghoon noodles, Garlic Chicken, Tom Yam Prawn Soup, Fried Crab Rice and Thai Jelly.

Gooselegs

I missed out to try this dish (busy with my tom yam soup) but according to Ed he said it had sweet tau yu taste to it. Looked a lot like chicken feet way of cooking.

Gooselegs

Garlic Chicken

I liked the way this dish tasted. Chicken was chopped to small bite size pieces, crispy and soaked slightly in a sweet, sour gravy. It had also a bit of chinese wine taste to it. Then topped with fresh slices of garlic and some cilantro leaves…..it’s so perfectly good.

Garlic Chicken

Tom Yam Prawns Soup

Following my own tasting pleasure, it was thumbs up all the way for this Tom Yam Soup. I loved it so much. It had that sour taste to it. And it was not so spicy. Really loved this. This is how I like my Tom Yam soup to be!

Tom Yam Prawns Soup

Huge Crab Claws with Tanghoon noodles

This is the Tanghoon dish which had huge crab claws underneath it. It was really good. After eating up all the Tanghoon and Crab Claws, I saw really a lot of garlic cloves right at the bottom. But the funny thing, the dish did not have any strong garlic taste.

Huge Crab Claws with Tanghoon noodles

Fried Crab Rice

Missed out to take a picture of this. The Fried Rice was good and absolutely tasty. It had a lot of crab meat in it too. Probably the best fried rice ever.

Thai Jelly

Jelly was white but not almond taste. Topped with some longans, it reminds me of those longan jellys I buy from Soya Bean shops. Nice and refreshing.

Thai Jelly

So do make your way here one day to try out this place and let me know what you think. For reservations you may contact this number below and perhaps ask for a clearer direction on their location.

Pls Call: 016-4322986

Location: Nearby to Penang Hill (Roundabout take 3 o'clock turning if you are coming from Masjid Negeri Road and head straight till you reach the end. It is the house on the left)

究竟盒子内藏着甚么呢?

Okay those bloody asses who kept on sending me forward mails about

究竟盒子内藏着甚么呢?
把这篇文章Forward给最少十位朋友!
在完成后按Shift + G
很神啊!!!很有趣的文章~~!!

here's the freaking answer so pass the fucking story around and quit believing in some ridiculous forward or you'll be cursed mails etc etc alright?


一

乐怡是个人见人爱的女孩子，她身边总有很多男子追求。

从小到大，无论是初中，高中，直至大学，她的吸引力从未

减去分毫。白皙的脸蛋衬出柔和的线条，脸庞上细细的绒毛显得无比可爱，水汪汪的眼睛，高高的鼻子，樱桃的小红唇，甜美的声线，加上她活泼可爱的性格，真是叫所有男孩都想立刻拥有她。追求她的人多不胜数。富有的，俊俏的，强壮的，幽默的......

叶真、思诚和西弟是同一寝室的三个男生，他们也是乐怡的同班同学。寝室
里，人人都知道他们三个都喜欢乐怡。可是从来没有人能够打动乐怡的心。
高大英俊的叶真是学校武术队队长，同时也是众多女生心中的白马王子，吸引着众多女生的追逐。但是乐怡一直却对他不冷不热。最近不知道为什么，乐怡突然经常和叶真走在一起，这让很多人以为，他们已经在一起了。不过，乐怡对叶真始终保持着距离。

乐怡和叶真经常在一起的事情让思诚和西弟感到十分失落。

思诚出身优越，长相斯文，举止优雅。他虽然个子不高，长相也算不上英俊，但是时刻透出一种自信的气质，他也是众多女生心目中的理想的伴侣。只不过乐怡一直觉得他不够可靠，对他始终不肯搭理。

只有西弟，乐怡对他没有多少戒备心理。这一点，西弟十分清楚。西弟家境贫寒，黝黑的皮肤，个头也不算高，无论放在哪里都不起眼。西弟明白自己是三人当中最没有希望的一个。但是他仍然默默地关心着乐怡，无论何时，只要乐怡需要他帮助，他二话不说。没有人不明白他的心意。

乐怡始终没有对任何一个追求她的人动心，因为她深信“一生一世”这四个字，认为拍拖根本不用急，她不怕去等，等自己心目中白马王子的出现。
但是从来也没有人知道乐怡心中的白马王子是个怎样的人，因为她从来没有跟别人透露过。

二

这天是乐怡第二十一岁的生日，很多人当然不会放过这个献殷勤的大好机会，各人也施展浑身解数务求夺得美人欢心。

惯常地，乐怡收到很多很有心思的礼物，她当然十分开心，但却不代表她动了心。就在这个时候，思诚突然从人群中钻了出来，他手里抱着一个约半米乘半米的盒子，表露出很有信心的样子，慢慢地向着乐怡走过来，对乐怡说：“把你的手伸入盒子里面吧！里面是我为你准备的礼物！”

乐怡虽然不明白他的用意，但她却很好奇的依着他所说的去做。

突然，乐怡尖叫了一声！

就在众人震惊之际，思诚又再度对乐怡说：“你能够做我的女朋友吗？”
听到这句话，乐怡不禁泪洒当场，只是不断默默地点头，似乎她已经找倒她心中的白马王子了！

三

乐怡被思诚紧紧拥抱着，她感到自己被幸福紧紧包裹着，让她无法自由呼吸，回忆不经意地涌现出来。

在一个令人心惊的深夜，一条漆黑的巷子里，面对三个歹徒，如果不是那个人挺身相救，或许乐怡已经……

然而，那个人的不要命的气势虽然赶走了那三个歹徒，自己的胳膊也受了伤。当乐怡正想上前用手帕为他包住伤口时，那个人却夺过手帕跑掉了，乐怡只依稀看见一个背影。但是在乐怡的内心里，已经认为那个人就是她心目中的白马王子。

第二天，当乐怡看到右手胳膊缠着绷带的叶真时，她试探着问叶真，昨晚那个人是不是他。她见到叶真愣了一下之后，微笑着点了点头。但是在后来的交往中，乐怡却越来越怀疑叶真和那天救她的不是同一个人。
这种疑惑直到这一刻才解开。就在她将手伸进盒子里面，摸到手帕一角她亲手绣上去的红色玫瑰时，她突然感到幸福其实就在眼前，她一把就能抓住，可是自己险些失去。

五

第二天，西弟默默地收拾好行礼，离开了这座让他伤心的城市。有人得意，就有人失落。对他而言，爱情没有家中重病的父亲和盼着学费的弟弟重要。他相信，人们在第一时间所作的选择反映着他们自己的真实心愿，这种心愿抛开了世俗和说教的约束，显得最真切，所以，应该尊重他们的这种选择。
思诚送给乐怡的生日礼物成了众人心中不解的迷，但是除了思诚和乐怡之外，还有一个人知道那个盒子里面的东西是什么。

就在前一天，也就是乐怡生日的那天，思诚找到他，要求和他做一笔交易：思诚给了西弟一大笔钱让他回去为父亲治病，为弟弟交学费，而作为交换，西弟则将要他视为生命的白手帕卖给思诚，就是那条绣着红色玫瑰的白手帕。

不知从何时起，西弟每天晚上都默默地跟随着乐怡，默默地护送她回家，从来不让她发现。那天当乐怡陷入危险之中时，他挺身而出，过后却不敢面对乐怡，夺路而逃。不过现在，这些回忆也随着那条白手帕被西弟一起抛弃了。

这是个无关爱情的时代，大街上每一个人似乎都为了一些事情在奔跑，但是他们又都不清楚自己为什么要奔跑，仿佛身后有股力量在推动他们，于是生活不可避免地走向了世俗。

泪水充盈着西弟的眼眶，寒风吹来，眼睛一阵刺痛，泪水无声滑落下来。在寒风中，西弟裹紧了衣服，单薄的身体渐行渐远………………

Movies, they always give people what they hope for eh?

Girls will always wish that the playboy they meet will turn into someone faithful, playboy will always wish that they could just meet that special someone so they could put more faith into love, and all the other losers will hope that some day they would get lucky and score once in a while.

I've just watched Ghosts of Girlfriends Past with a friend and it happen that I was in a similar situation, though the setting and story line is a lot different yet the characters are all there, the alpha male, wingmen and preys. I just couldn't figure out why I'm always one of the wingman and not the one under the spot light. Do I really allow them to take the spotlight because I lack self confidence? Or deep down inside I know that I doesn't need or crave for those spotlight because I'm so confident that I'd meet someone that see my glow in the dark? Somehow that kind of person doesn't come as often as I wish, and funnily my glow ain't even strong enough even when I'm in the dark cinema.

What's more fuck up is that I shouldn't even feel this way! Din't I said I've already give up on this one? Now I'm here typing all this crap after a few pines of stout and a few glasses of JD? How suckier can this be? Like the tag line of the movie said, you can't always run from your past, I could try to act as if I din't care anymore, but I do somehow. I could let go, but deep down inside, I know I regret every single mistakes I've made, hate ever opportunity I missed, and mourn over everything that I couldn't get. Okay mourn could be too harsh but I couldn't figure of anything else more suitable.

Morden man in traditional business

Sometimes I really wonder, can I revolutionize the business or will the business drag me back to the caveman age. It's an answer still unanswered for the time being, but I've already start to feel my devolution. I used to complain a lot more when I first went back to the business, when I found out that all the stuff that I were automated when I work in KL are being done manually here. Stuff like checking the price history, the list price of some items etc etc. Now I'm using the manual approach as well. I don't want to succumb to the industrial norm, I used to reject the industrial norm, saying that if they are not willing to move on, I'm willing to take the lead and show them what I'm made off, but I'm only human after all I guess.

August 15, is the deadline I set for myself, I need my new product portfolio out, and I need to limit them on selling what I WANT TO SELL and not WHAT MY CUSTOMER SEEK FOR. I want to be a supplier of goods I sell, that I do see a market for, not an agent that go around looking for what my customers want. Hopefully it will do me more good than bad. They all say that it will take several failing business to realize a successful one, but too bad I couldn't fail this 40 years business, I couldn't bear the blame. I'm not akon, I couldn't just go around telling people to 'blame it on me' because for hell sure, there's nothing I can do even if they blame it on me.

If you ever thought that you could "take on more responsibility" but your boss always assign you to some small job that's simply because your boss couldn't see your capacity of taking up such responsibility, and you din't step up to tell your boss that you can bear those responsibility. Seriously, if you ever see a chance to step up and do the job right, do it! Your boss will love it, so long as you can get the job done correctly. Also don't expect your boss to throw you a big assignment just because you volunteered, it takes time for the boss to observe you, see your potential and assign the job that fits you the most.
