25岁后的保养

到百货公司闲逛可说是城市人活动里头最普遍的消遣。说奢侈，一点也不。花了一笔钱，无论是大钱小钱，棒回家的都是生活上欠缺不了的东西。如果你说买了一台健身器花光了半个月的糧，那至少每天回家有个不但能，或者看似可以，提高生活层次而且也不怎么过时的东西。至于柴米油盐那就更不得有所申诉，不过，人是为了吃而生活，还是为了生活而吃，那又是另一条infinity 的讨论，或者说是研讨，因为那是会有很多大大条的道理，你听都没听过的道理。

经过一个展位小摊子，没去注意因为我根本一心就只希望肚子里头的那块猪扒快点消化。很快， ‘很’ 的意思就是当你转一转头又再看回之前那个方向的时候，友人已经一屁股坐在 ‘客户部门’ 的椅子上。是个某专业护发疗程的免费检测及优惠。她说过25了，我插嘴说不是过了很久了吗？不否认也不得不承认，唯有很无奈的说：“ 对咯，所以要开始保养了，我不要掀开一小撮的头发看到的是头皮或稀疏的头发，还有，我不要... ... 。今天我就看到那个阿X，几年看到她，我们还赞她天生丽质又会保养你记得吗，你都不知道她现在... ... ... 。” 不是因她说得太长或我忘了她讲过什么，而是在不久将来你我都极大可能会面对又或者痛苦些得去承受的种种。

是的，我们真的开始担惊受怕，开始唠唠叨叨，开始有很old 的感觉。怕老吗？倒不是很有，就是不说没有，也不说有。其实讲话开始很rojak 也是老的迹象么？至少跟小孩子沟通是有一点点难不过也不至于他们听不明白或是不hew 你呀！不过，毕竟是处在物资充裕社会，还是保养保养好，什么都可忽略，就是年龄不行，算算离开千禧的也10年了，千年虫吗？可能也是个有代沟的名词。

短发

老友剪了一头短发，还是头一回看她剪boy-cut。对我来说那是个诱惑，因为已太久没踏入理发店。我爱剪头发，要的当然不只是享受那种过程中被服侍的感觉那么简单，除非你是恋上了为你理发的那位或是某某清纯的shampoo girl。说的是对踏出发廊之后的那股清新、焕然的感觉是久久的挥洒不去。比如几小时前感觉不怎样的天空也不懂什么时候晴朗起来，车上收音机播放的歌也全是自己的最爱或是K歌时的成名曲。但是那种当世界也迎合自己的感觉逐渐淡化到消失的时候，镜子啦脖子或耳朵就会在碎碎念了。管他妈的念什么，是的，很烦就对了。也就是为什么有很多按耐不住发生的事情在发生后也都是每次为自己圆场或辩护还老是问自己为什么会酱？

当然是有例外的时候，那就是当有更大的诱惑摆在眼前时。我说的就是那个谁的谁，和谁的乌黑长发及古铜鬈发，好像很有味道这样。感觉上的味道，错不了了，尤其当到了某一定的年纪，就是不承认又不得不私底下认同的那种。当然是没有短发的型，现代人俗称yeng，但回归到自然，女人，不是该有一头长发么？至少，一生中也要有那么的一次，不管是为谁而留。

Simple and Beautiful

In the spirit of this holiday season, I brough a packet of flour that I already keep for couple of months (ooopppsss..!) to one of my dear friends' house for baking a wonderful array of petite cookies.

We had a tough time choosing between, shape, thickness, well, everything. After much deliberation...and sacrified an old mixer nonetheless, we produced these gorgeous shape of cookies that we had an agreement finally. It really taste as good as they look, a great and crunchy sweet and lovely butter cookies!

I greatly appreciated of the wonderful creation but i still prefer to cook a table of meals for a dining instead of staying in the kitchen for nearly a day just to keep sending a tray by tray of the cookies into the microwave oven... anyway, thanks for your lovely accompany my dear (hi Ann!) and am looking forward to cook you and your family an afternoon meals that I promiesed on next coming weekend!

A big thanks to VS

Welcome to the new week! How was your weekend? I've had a great escape to North of Penisular Malaysia. It's supposed to be a beautiful and lovely weekend which is pretty exciting for end of the year. I do love sunshine. Sunny days really makes me excited. I like the smell of the sea especially when warm and comfy wind blowing off up to the sky. I wanto send a big thanks and kiss to one of my dear friends (hi vs!) for sending me a nice and warm message to cheer up my life again the next morning.

Here's what had written in the mail: Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

VS, I know you never expected your mail can create such huge impact on me. Thanks alot my dear, greatly apprecaited!

Happiness Myths

I recently went to Malacca, another small but fantastic town which is just 140km away from Kuala Lumpur. That was a nice weather to out station and accompany with great CD track and smooth traffic and my new 3 quarter black pants. Blue sky white clouds green green grass… everything is so nice. No rain for now at lease even we’re in a raining season.

Thing has changed after half an hour on the road… everything seems not so pretty anymore. My car’s a/c was broken down. The journey seems so long and I can’t wait to call my friend and tell him: am arrived! He was my ex-uni mate. Our friendship was successfully passed through the seven-year ditch, lol. Half of my friends be replaced but another half stay the same. I do believe Friendship goes through phases. Who becomes my close mate is determined by my social needs. However, one thing for sure is, if you’ve got a really strong, long-term friendship, and you know each other very well, geography doesn’t matter at all.

Another reason besides of a gathering is to see his newborn baby, Ellie. Surprisingly, our topic has changed to baby, marriage, house hold… whatsoever, he found his happiness myths and this is the most important thing for him now.

Sinem

The thought of buying or get something special to her as a signify of our friendship actually came across my mind such a long time. Something that she couldn't easily has in her region place, something that she could use it often and the most important is there is no time frame... so, trendy stuff and ordinary souvenir eventhough is from Malaysia been moved out of my list. Personal Designed and Handmade photo album already given her as a wedding present. What else that required my creativeness to produce meanwhile to be sure the precentage of daily usage is higher? Finally, this thing came across my mind and decided to get it done before I fly off.

Thank you and greatly appreciated to my dear ex-uni friend Sook Teeng and her friend who been able to deliver this parcel within a DAY! Certainly, that was a really high effectiveness and effciency service due to my flight is 4 days after the design and draft been sent.

p/s: sinem, am sure most of the time u will received lots of trainers' envy's signt especially while you're having ur tea during the morning meeting everyday!

吃那吃了胶糖的骆驼

来自菲律宾的同事Francis 即将身为另间美国公司的operation manager。辞行之余决定再到当地文化街走一趟。菲律宾人有个习俗，凡出国工作而入息比以往高就得为家中老幼亲朋戚友买礼物、带手信，属分享之意。我看他每两个月就大包小包提回家，看来物件并非以人头计，还是他连姻亲那头的亲友也列入购物单子内？血拼前，他说有个地方的先去，不然他的肚子就会吃掉另一边的肚子。

骆驼肉，是他说临行前一定要尝的佳肴！咱们用餐的是一家摩洛哥餐厅。也不晓得为什么家家餐馆都把灯光调得阴阴暗暗。是让某些设计看来更特别迷人，还是为配合当地人用餐的喜好和情调？看来第二个原因是本人认为是最能说得过。骆驼肉表面和前几秒的咀嚼口感都和牛肉差不多，可能是焖煮的方式，也无需费多大的咬劲。其餐牌上的解说是嫩骆驼肉加上摩洛哥香料腌制再以砂锅焖煮。不用去猜想它的味道是怎么天上人间，入口咀嚼后，就好象我们买的某X牌的罐头猪肉、扣肉的味道。特别的是它的骨胶厚厚一大片，切不开咬不断，咀嚼两下便只好将这“树胶糖”咽下肚子。

Fresh Local Baby Camel Cooked in Traditional Pot with Special Moroccon Spices QR65

Niçoise salad (QR25). As I know, is a French composed salad, with tuna, green beans, hard boiled eggs, potatoes, instead of chicken, bacon, and avocado. My Q is, is it one of the Moroccan styles? Or Middle East likes this serving very much and its become one of the requirements?

吃，最重要是咀嚼的过程，不然也没什么意思。沙拉，除了那些橄榄外，也没什么特别。其实各国的沙拉，菜类果类的选者和配搭，也是来去几款，没什么惊喜。喜欢吃沙拉的，都可以随喜好创出各种类的沙拉，无独有偶，也可能会是某国的沙拉。 至于喝这方面，可要好好讲讲。我盘点萝卜汁，比手掌再高一些，约马币16。大多的鲜果汁，都是纯天然，没有糖精或糖水。基本上还不算贵了，因为矿泉水一杯（不是一瓶）也要RM8，果汁就比较划算。可能他们算的，是“水”的量。 没预先要求，整杯果汁就那两小冰块。这儿，只要可以喝的下肚的就不会便宜。水，比石油还要值钱。

Fresh Carrot Juice (QR15)。 我其实想点的是萝卜奶，但他们根本就认为说萝卜和奶根本就是互相对立的东西。还建议我要多一杯鲜奶，但是价钱就比萝卜汁贵接近一倍。
