Fall for you...



闷热的六月晚上,
庄严的德教会里,
结婚注册仪式正一场场的进行着,
而我们是编号第 5 号的那一对,
5 aka 五,就是五福临门的那个五...

轻松愉快的气氛下,
友善的证婚人面前,
“我愿意” 第一声来自于我,
“我愿意” 第二声由你说出,
对望几秒,你笑了我也笑了,大家都笑了...

亲戚朋友的祝福中,
还有他们手中照相机的捕捉下,
我就在你右手的无名指上轻轻地套上了一枚戒指...
看,就是那一枚上面有一颗小小的石头的,象征着我的一心一意;
不要看它小小粒,这已经是我在这地球上找到最能代表我对你坚定的石头!=)

而我左手的无名指上也被你套上了另一枚戒指...
围绕着喷沙表面的,是一个既没有开头也没有结尾的沟纹,
你知道这是什么意思的 :)
我们的爱情故事 -- 永不间断。

是的,我将永远记得
今天是我们的结婚注册日~

老鼠爱大米的年代已经过去了
我只是一只深深爱着小老鼠的

江边鸟




p/s:
感谢到场祝福的朋友们 =)

随想

最近发生了很多事,开心的事也有,不开心的事也不少!

心情的起伏高高低低的,但也总算是经历过;而历练过,就会赚了些经验,也开了开眼界,还有一些些新体会。

说不上什么分享,就只是想把想法写下来:



幼小无知的时候以为这个世界上就只有黑和白善与恶好人与坏人之分,就像...

Ultraman 一定会消灭大怪兽!


稍微年长的时候,才发现这个世界其实存在着很多灰色地带;世上大多数的人也并非纯善与纯恶;换句话说你眼里的坏人也许是他人眼中的好人... 就只是观点上的不同。这类题材在电影里层出不穷,就像...

《无间道》里的“警察”刘健明和“黑帮”陈永仁!


近期,发现到你可以对别人抱着灰色的心态,但不代表别人不会对你就只有黑和白的标准。

而人的标准却会因为对着不同的人,处理不同的事,存在于不一样的时间,规划下不一样的完美定义...

if (
point != 100%, then
point = 0% else
point = 100%
);


再一次的提醒自己,不要存有侥幸的心态,以为尽力了,100% 里只要做到40%,60%,或 80% 就至少有个安慰奖!但在不同人的标准上,你所自以为的尽力,往往却因为不完美而不被认同,并完全否定。

“严以待己,宽以待人”

我想,我可以对别人的要求不高,但对自我的要求还是要提高一点比较好。

一些事情上要么就是做到100%,不然就啥都不做(0%)!因为我真的不想经历被否定的心酸,更不想看到期待者眼里的失望!

眼睛打鸟了

最近眼睛有点朦。

看东西都朦朦的,尤其是晚上开夜车的时候,眼睛尤其吃力~

突然间脑海里浮现出一个念头 -- 难道是老鸟老了?眼睛开始老化不中用了?毕竟老鸟年已过“四分之一”百!

所以这一天放工以后来到了家附近的一间眼镜店找验眼师检查检查。

翻了翻以往的纪录,才知道距离上一次来检查已经是四年前的事了。

那时的度数是 --

左眼远视(是的,远视不是老花)50 度,没有闪光。
右眼近视 25 度,闪光 25 度。


好得很!那时的我就很神气,远的用左眼看,近的就用右眼看!

这一天老鸟战战兢兢的坐在验眼台上,担心接下来的验眼成绩,担心自己要戴眼镜了。

结果是...

左眼什么都没有,一切零度。
右眼依然是近视 25 度,闪光 25 度。


“那我要戴眼镜吗?”

[如果会头痛就戴吧!每个人对眼镜的需要都不一样的。]

“暂时没有头痛的现象,那我就不带咯!真的很庆幸自己的度数还能保留。”

[当然咯,以你的年龄来看,很难会增加度数了]

“... ... ... ...”

虽然被验眼师亏了一下,但江边鸟还是很神气的回家了!

但说回来,现在眼睛还是有点朦朦的,真的还是需要顾一顾。

所以没什么必要的时候我的眼睛是尽量闭上休息的,就好像这个时候。

所以不要以为我在偷懒吃蛇,其实我在保护我的眼睛,毕竟老鸟年已过“四分之一”百!

Cat's hair

Dr. Chandra Suresh (sounds familiar, right?) had spent his entire life in researching the genetic code of a cat. (Yes, cat, don't ask me why he researched cat, out of so many animals out there)

After 48 years of tireless research he found out that cat's hair of a side is always more than the other side. (don't ask me how he carried out the experiment, may be he counted the hairs...)

It's believed to be inherited from cat's great great great grandparents - the hairless Sphynx

Now, make a guess, which side of a cat has more hair than the other side?


**heard this from Fly FM while I was driving to work this morning =)

3 is a facinating number

If I were to choose a favorite number out of 0 - 9, I would say "3"

I'm not sure since when I have developed such affection to this number, but I believe it's very much to do with my high school badge number which ended with 33

Since then, be it coincident or on purpose, I'm always aware that my life is full of this digit -- 3

I think of an example, when I created my email, I would normally try to put an alphabetical string as the sign in name... As you may experience, most of the time the alphabetical string has been registered by others, somehow there is always people earlier than us.

Then we would need to add some numbers behind the log-in name and the common practice is to add one's born year. For example, I'm born in 1991, so I may use RiverBird_91@riverbird.com as my email address.

Or one might use one's age at that time of email registration. For example, I'm born in 1991 and I just turn 18 this year. So my email address shall spell as RiverBird_18@riverbird.com :)

However, as the results of strong affection to digit '3', I always choose 33 instead of my age or my born year!

I think '3' is just too cool not to be chosen!

And lately there are some random figures around me too... coincidentally...

0.3 mm
13 mm


which... I shall reveal the true meaning of them sooner or later.

Stay tuned =)

这个周末看过的电影

这个周末看了两套戏。

很巧的,两套都是以暴力血腥为主,但是看后的感想截然不同。

第一套:


我知道这不是刚刚上映的,但就是因为看了第一集的精彩,所以就下载了这套 Ong Bak 2 来过一过武打瘾。

比起上一集,这一集可算是大手笔,又一大群大象又各国武术的;Tony Jaa 打完泰拳,再打虎拳,然后转回蛇拳,再来咏春;同时也多了武器的演绎 -- 大刀,日本武士刀,三截棍等等的,看到我眼花缭乱!

虽然是打到虎虎生风,但 Tony Jaa 打起中国功夫来,还是有点泰拳的影子~

还有的就是看这套戏呢,用眼睛就好了:
不需要用脑,因为故事性不怎么值得一提!
也不需要用耳朵,因为男生说起泰语,真的是有够他X的娘~~

x x x x x

第二套:


基本上香港电影没有什么好题材了,来来去去都是蛊惑仔。

香港的洪兴作到了没什么可以作了就作台湾的台客,台客也没戏唱了就跑到日本拍三和帮 -- 这正是这套戏的概括!

这套戏唯一特别的地方就是成龙没有武打,而大帅哥吴彦祖就毁容断腕,做个十足的倒霉鬼~

但不要以为这套戏好像很烂,其实还真的蛮扣人心铉的。

血淋淋的场面让我们带着沉重的步伐走出戏院...

x x x x x


总的来说,两套都是不值得去戏院看的戏,呵呵~

09 年 03月尾的某一天早上...








哦!他剪头发了!!!!原来他也是有耳朵的~



Cambodia Trip 2009: Day 3

Fuuuyoooohh ~ 老鸟的这一篇拖了好久啊!!!

都怪自己很懒惰忙啦~~~!!!

结果呢,我自己都把自己的经历忘了一大半啦~哈哈哈!鸟的脑袋不大啦~

就看看我还能记得什么的...

x x x x x x x


由于第二天的时候发现了这里的中央市场 (Central Market)有很多很好吃的熟食,所以我们这一天的一大早就来这里找吃了。

不得不提今天老鸟吃的柬埔寨“凉面”。 为什么说它“凉”呢?因为它端出来的时候一点都不热!下面第三张就是这碗“凉面”的照片了。

照片上可能看不清楚,不过吃的时候才知道其实这小小的一碗里藏着很多的配料。

一大口吃下去的时候首先尝到的是虾仁和猪肉碎,然后咬了咬吃到了弹牙的猪肉皮切丝,还有爽脆的花生粒!当然配菜方面就有肥肥的豆芽,鲜菜,还后齿后留香的千层塔!面条则是粗米粉再淋上不只名的酱汁!因为不烫,所以吃的要诀就是要大口大口的吃,才能把所有的配料混在嘴里咀嚼,强!

然后在众多的甜点里面,江边鸟最爱的就是这个 - 椰浆糯米蒸大豆!大豆的清甜,椰浆的浓郁,糯米的饭香,唯有吃过后才可以想象这个简单配方所带来的魅力!



x x x x x x x


由于阿车的英文真的没有人听得懂,所以我们决定辞掉他,然后今天自己走,充分享受自由行的乐趣!

但是这对大家而言是问题所在,因为从市中心到 Angkor Wat 的距离是大约 15 公里,一步一步走的话恐怕走到那边的时候就要开始走回家了!

所以我们就到处找脚踏车!

但是这对江边鸟而言又是一个问题所在,因为江边鸟的有生之年其实没有踏过几次的脚车而已!更别说在一个陌生的国度,崎岖不平的道路,踏着这个用 USD 3 租来的 ah pek 脚车!就是那种前面有个篮子,完全没有避震系统,震到我双手发麻,踏到我双脚发软,坐到我屁股发酸的脚车!

这绝对是江边鸟人生中的其中一个经典!



尽管双手发麻,双脚发软,屁股发酸,我们骑了两个小时,终于来到了这里 -- Ta Prom

Angelina Jolie 的 Tomb Raider 曾经到过这里取景的!



其实踏到来这里后已经很累了,但是又不能这样停下来,因为我们还是得踏回市中心,所以就只有慢慢的慢慢的踏回去。

我说的慢真的是很慢的那种,慢到全部人都看不到踪影了剩下江边鸟一只鸟在后面慢慢的踏...



就这样!来回 30km!江边鸟做到了!但是回到市区的时候已经天黑了!

x x x x x x x


白天的辛劳是值得的,
因为看到了很漂亮的古迹,永世难忘;
因为这也写下了江边鸟的人生纪录,脚车行;
当然也因为这一杯用来好好犒赏自己的 Margaritas!



x x x x x x x


带着少少的醉意回到房间,结束了充实的一天...

我的新"眼睛" -- Canon IXUS 95 IS

江边鸟很懒惰,真得很懒惰!

懒惰到就连拍一个照也不想多花时间去调整这个那个!

所以呢,就算现在 DSLR 的价钱已经很大众化;就算很多朋友聚会的时候常常都会讨论 DLSR 的拍摄技巧;就算拿着 DSLR 可以吸引很多女孩子...

江边鸟的选择还是坚持 -- 傻瓜相机~ ^^

既然是傻瓜相机,当然就是不管是多么傻的傻瓜也会用的啦~!

所以趁着 Canon warehouse wholesale 的今天,买下了...



虽然就只是便宜个 RM 80,但还是开心了好半天,因为江边鸟想买一个相机很久了!

全自动的 feature 让我爱不释手,现在真的是不管远的,近的,亮的,暗的地方,相机一拿起来就可以“咔喳”!

实验性拍下我的午餐 -- 槟华中学对面的叻沙


还有小老鼠贪玩拍下我玩游戏时的画面...

"I straight die!!!!!"


是的,买了相机后就真的是 -- 穷死了~~~

接下去的两个月就天天吃 canteen 吧!

跳上了云顶~



上个星期,江边鸟消失了一个周末。
因为江边鸟特地拿了一天假期,趁着星期五没那么多人潮的时候,一手牵着小老鼠的手就跳上云顶去了~

也没有什么特别的 show 想看,就只是想要出来走走,吹吹冷风 :) 当然还有就是 Hardo Gay 提供了一张让我们住宿超便宜的礼券,呵呵~

其实阔别了这么久没来,云顶还是没变:
  • 雾还是那么大,不然怎么会叫云顶?(这叫自打嘴巴!)
  • 风还是那么的不冷,我们也不须穿件冷衣,会不会是温室效应的缘故?(这叫想太多了!)
  • 主题公园也没什么新玩艺儿,再加上小老鼠胆小如鼠不想玩,所以我们就没去了(这叫做省钱!)
  • 最重要的是,我还是在赌场里输钱!!!! (这叫做 @!#$!@$#@%#^!@$!@#)

其实真得不能怪我输钱的,谁叫我竟然遇到了...

登... 登... 登... 登...
赌神再现!
... ...

难怪我会在三个小时内输 RM20 啦~~~

(二十块而已啦~输太多我会很心痛的)

Engineer? Why not others?

If we assume the chuck load variation to be a normal distribution with the mean value of 70 lbf and standard deviation of 3 lbf, we can then plot out a distribution load curve where the load is split to the top surface of the die and the substrate peripheral area. According to the package level Finite Element Analysis, an even top loading configuration would balance out the reaction force from the bottom and thus reduce the C4 solder joint stress level below 80% of Temp Cycle condition B. With this the Cpk of 1.33 can be achieved without inducing package reliability concern. (this is totally crap XD)

Huh? Don’t understand? Don’t worry. Neither did my boss!

My lovely readers,

I’m an engineer by profession, and I’ve been working as an engineer for >2.5 year ever since I graduated from University. Overall, being an engineer is... ok lar.

Despite my boss doesn’t understand what I’m trying to tell him most of the time;

Despite engineer actually belongs to medium-income group which we can hardly buy a small house in Penang for shelter after owning a car with 9-year installment;

Despite engineer has extremely long working hour where you can ask Putojin for supper, but he will always tell you that he is busy with his work and he has midnight meeting later.

Then why engineer? Why do I still want to be an engineer while there are so many engineers in Penang that a signboard fells would easily kill 9 engineers out of 10 people beneath?

In order to be the 10th, I’ve been thinking of career change recently. But the problem is what else I can do besides an engineer?

It was a day when I went all the way down south to search for the legendary Laksa in Parit Buntar. After I reached there, I found out that it’s actually located amidst the wooden housing estate, accessible only via a small lane. However, no signboard is needed because we can follow the crowd if we have eyes or led by the fragrance even if we are blind (provided our nose is still functioning).

When I reached there, it’d been a long queue. Because of limited space to sit, everyone was queuing to take away the food. I looked at my queue; I was the lucky number 3. I saw the first person in the queue raised his 2 fingers. Then I looked in the big laksa pot, there was still half pot of laksa soup, meaning I should be able to get my laksa before it’s finish.

However, 15mins later, the first person was still standing there until I saw the hawker passed a big plastic bag which contains 20 packets of laksa to him. Then only I realized that his 2 fingers meant 20 packets! After the first person left, the second person raised... 3 fingers!

So I ended up going home empty handed! The key learning is not about I should have gone there earlier, but it's about how abundance a hawker can earn in a day! Imagine each packet of laksa was sold at RM2, the hawker had earned RM100 within half an hour... terror ~

Furthermore, it’s SOHO concept, small office home office! No advertisement needed as the product would speak for itself when the reputation has been built up. The job has short working hour where you can spend the morning to sell your food while the rest of the day in house chores.

Seriously, I've been thinking that being a laksa hawker is indeed not a bad idea ~

Since then, being a laksa hawker had always been planted in my engineer's mind. Until last week I joined the area level international speech contest. I found out another talent that I possess! Which is... I can actually talk nonsense for 7 mins easily, like what I’m doing now, and I have to admit that I can do it quite well because audiences would be attracted and listen to my non-sense, like what you are doing right now. So I started to think what occupation would need this non-sense talking skill the most?

Perhaps you will say Astronaut? No way! RM 8000/hour of lecture fee is way too minute compared to what a... Politician... can earn!! All I have to do is to extend my 7 mins non-sense talking session to a few hours, after that I can sleep in the meeting.

Being a politician is good, other than normal monthly income, government subsidiary in car & housing, politician will also always be fed with “extra income” by doing nothing but simply talking non-sense.

Looking at the job requirement, in Malaysia, this job doesn’t need any higher education background because even a railway gate-keeper can be one (and he owned a palace before he passed away). But the most straight forward method is you can apply the job by simply marrying to another politician’s daughter, it sounds so simple, doesn't it?

Then when we talk about career growth, it’s same like working as an engineer where you can hop to another party when there is an opportunity and immediately... *dang*... you are a millionaire!

But good pay job always comes with drawbacks, else when the signboard falls, it will kill 5 laksa hawkers and 5 politicians out of 10.

If I were a laksa hawker, I might not even sell a bowl of laksa per day! Because I don’t know how to cook laksa, so end up I have to eat all the laksa myself!

If I were a politician, I would be spending one third of my time talking non-sense, another one third of my time to sleep in the meeting, and one third of my time to...
... ...
...
..
.
of course to look for hidden camera lar ~


**Just another speech of mine delivered to complete my humorously speaking manual :)

Valentine's Gift

How I wish I will be paid in writing this article, apparently I’m not a famous columnist, so nobody actually pays me. Therefore I write this in my blog, in the hope that I can grab some attentions then some good readers (like you, you and you) would donate some fund to this blog (because I'm writing it so damn right). I'm desperately needing money lately, due to the coming Valentine's day! (Gosh, it's tomorrow!)

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Have you thought of any idea to surprise your love one yet? A romantic candle light dinner which you would feel like you've eaten nothing at the end? An expensive gift wrapped nicely and hid in a secret place and let your love one discover it by surprise? A romance movie in the cinema which both of you would not understand at the end of the show because you will be busy doing "other things" in the dark theater? All and all, need money!

Yes, love is in the air, so does bad news such as factory shut down, retrenchment, bankruptcy and so forth. During this economy down turn period, every cent counts! Therefore in this article, I would like to share with you some economic ways in selecting a suitable valentine's gift for you love one.

Strategy one. Doing the right thing at the very beginning, which is: Never buy him/her any gift during Valentine’s Day.

It is extremely useful especially when you just started a new relationship. Educate, lecture, comfort, persuade, seduce, or even threaten your partner that Valentine’s day is nothing more than a commercial idea that only the florists/ merchants get all the benefits but both of you get nothing but a super duper expensive dinner, or a bouquet of flower which is double or triple than its original price. Of course, be prepared for all sort of bombardment of reasons and questions, resistance, objections, etc. Therefore, I'm strongly encouraging you to join Toastmasters club, then you can apply all your persuasion skills that you learn from the meeting in this situation. (now you know the reason why I join Toastmasters Club)

However, even the most competent toastmasters that I've ever seen (no, I'm not going to tell it's Putojin) would be able to apply strategy 1 for the first year only! For the subsequent year, he just gives in because he couldn't bear one whole year of mumbling and cursing and swearing and...

Therefore, I would suggest you to try Strategy two if you fail the abovementioned strategy. But I would like to put up a disclaimer here that you should only apply strategy 2 if you fail to implement strategy one, because once you start it, there is no turning back to strategy 1. The strategy is start buying things from small value. The theory is rather simple, all men and women are greedy! Today you buy your partner a cat, next year you will have to buy him/her an elephant. And the graph is exponentially increasing per year! (Graph 1)



Some more, don’t forget that Valentine’s day is not the only day that you should give present, there are still birthday, Christmas, Anniversary, Lunar Valentine’s or even pet’s birthday! So your actual spending in gifts should look like Graph 2.



On the contrary, if you buy expensive gifts in the very beginning, then the curve would look like Graph 3.



See the difference? By simply implementing strategy 2, we can chop down the expenses in gifts significantly. Please refer to the shaded area in Graph 3_2 below then you will get what I mean.



Since you can’t avoid giving gifts, why don’t you start from small and save as much as you can. For example, you can start from giving a pencil to your love one... or even better... a box of pencils!!

Well, if you are already in DEEP relationSHITSHIP with your partner and you have been practicing buying expensive gifts all this while (Graph 3). Congratulations and celebrations!! This shows how dump arse loving you are! And you will definitely need strategy 3, which is also the simplest among the 3 -- continuing with it!!! There is no medicine cure for your over-pampered partner. Since you can’t do anything about it, just close your eyes and enjoy being slaughtered every year :)

Truly speaking, I don't think we need a dedicated day to tell our love one how much we love them. In a successful relationship, everyday would be Valentine's Day with only 3 little fundamental principles -- Honesty, Open Communication & Trust. And Honesty always comes first. Therefore being an honest man (and poor) like me, I sincerely hope that this article does entertain you and if you can kindly donate some money to this blog, I'll be more than happy because you know lar... I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... gifts to buy before Valentine's Day ler...


** Disclaimer **

It was the speech I delivered 2 days ago in the club level contest. Here, I would like clarify that I made up all the contents in this speech, especially on Putojin's part, it's totally fake. Believe me, Putojin is still single and up for grab!! Hoho ~

Btw, I'm really broke liao recently, so if you think it's good, kindly click the advertisement at the side bar. After all, I'm digging my own grave by posting this article one ler :p

Oi ~ at least leave a comment or two lar ~

Cambodia Trip 2009: Day 2

第二天大清早 530am 就从 The Villa 出发了,为的就是 Angkor Wat 的日出!

说实在的,不是很漂亮而已啦~ 但我们拼的就是那一份在千年古庙前的那份特别~



x x x x x

像蛋黄般的太阳提醒了我们还没有吃早餐,所以我们来到了中央市场(Central Market)找吃。

这个市场真的不简单,集中了蔬菜,肉类,熟食,衣物,纪念品,首饰,“美金”... 所有你想找的,都会在这里!

我们的目标当然就是 -- 熟食,以填饱肚子为首要任务!!



我们都吃了好多的食物!因为这里的食物的确不错,也因为我们知道待会儿我们会坐两个小时的车到 Kbal Spean

x x x x x

Kbal Spean 也被称为 The River of Thousand Lingas。

那什么是 Linga 呢?江边鸟是个害羞的鸟,不好意思说,你自己在照片里看吧!~



看到了这么多的 Linga,心中就只有一个字 -- 强!古代的人都很强,一个不满足,要一千个!呵呵~

Trekking 也是很耗力的,所以我们一从 Kbal Spean 出来就随意点了个炒饭来吃,然后由马不停蹄的赶到下一个目的地 -- Banteay Srei



在这里我们看到了完整,没有被河水侵蚀过的 Linga。所以这里的 Linga 都大概有我的一半很雄伟!呵呵。

在这里也跳了两下~~ Puto 说我已经江郎才尽,跳来跳去都是一样的姿势 >_<

x x x x x

我会飞的关系费用的考量,我没有搭上热气球。

但从朋友的照片上看来,高空下的 Angkor Wat 还是一样的庄严壮观~



x x x x x

老人家(江老头)说“吃了鱼头就要吃鱼尾,有头有尾才是好男儿!”

所以我们今天看了日出,当然就要看日落!而最美的日落就在 Phnom Bakheng

老鸟就不多说了,你看了就知道~

**特别谢谢 Photojin 拍的美丽日落

x x x x x

日落后,当然就是天黑了;天黑了,当然就是肚子饿了;肚子饿,当然就是找吃的时候了!!!

回到 The Villa,我们匆匆换洗就出门吃晚餐了。

这里的食物,有点千篇一律,但今晚还是吃了一样很特别的当地食物 -- 鸭蛋!

当然不是普通的鸭蛋,而是受精后即将成型的鸭蛋~

其实我们也很怕的,因为真的不知道会不会习惯那个味道,所以 Hock 和我两条水,决定共享一粒蛋!一人一半,感情不散!

但其实我们的担心是多余的。

虽然你可以看到血丝和羽毛(所以我们选择在比较暗的挡口吃),但其实味道和普通的蛋没什么不同!



x x x x x

那我们是如何结束第二天的呢?

我们之中一批人跑去按摩了,而另一批(我在内)就回到了 The Villa,灌着当地啤酒,慢慢睡去...

Cambodia Trip 2009: Day 1

由于 Air Asia,我们有机会以 RM220 的机票往返柬埔寨。

但付出的代价就是在吉隆坡 LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal) 上飞机,还要是早上七点的班机,而且还必须向公司申请5天的假期。

所以呢,在赶了数天工后,出发的前一晚江边鸟就乘着 cct 的车连夜到了 KL。由衷感谢 cct 那辆开到 180km/hr 的 Vios, 我终于在凌晨约3点抵达,然后一只鸟傻傻的等待其他团员!(cct 没有随行,放了我后就回家睡觉了)

由于赶工,前几晚都睡得不怎么好,但怀着兴奋的心情还是让我难以入眠。伏在桌上小休片刻,一来不舒服,二来怕睡着了行李被偷,所以所谓的片刻大概就只有20分钟吧!然后是清醒着等到团员的到来!

团员里就有小学兼中学同学兼大学同学,也有纯中学同学,还有同学的同事,和同学的同事的朋友!关系复杂~ 也初次见面!

团员到齐后就 check-in 出发了!



短短两个小时的机程就在我呼噜呼噜大睡中过去了。由于柬埔寨的时间比大马慢一个小时,所以抵达机场时,时间是早上8点。

x x x x x

一走出 Siem Reap 国际机场后,就看到了我们即将下榻的 Guesthouse -- The Villa 的迎接队伍!我们十一人就坐在往 Guesthouse 的车,观赏着一路由机场郊区开往拥挤闹区的沿途风景。



x x x x x

由于并没有什么事先安排,就只知道 Siem Reap 最出名的是吴哥窟,所以我们决定请一个当地导游!当然这个导游必须精通英文!

就这样我们认识了阿车,一名精通意大利文与英文(名片上是这么说的),25岁的当地人!

而我们的第一个目的地就是吴哥窟 Angkor Wat

但不知是不是便宜的关系,我们阿车的英文有点道地,总爱把“s”和“ch”的尾音给简化掉。

就像 “Let's go to eat lunch” 会变成 “Let go to eat Lan” ,不习惯还以为 lan 是什么道地的佳肴!

而当阿车开始讲解历史的时候,车车车,大家由开始的仔细聆听渐渐到双眼涣散,再慢慢到没人要听!而阿车还在很卖力的车车车车...



x x x x x

吴哥窟一呆就是好几个小时,出来后我们就前往 Angkor Thom, 就是大吴哥城

我们是由南门进入的,里面就包括了 Bayon,斗象台,古代法院等等。

由于前一晚睡眠不足,加上处处看到的除了石雕还是石雕,还有阿车车车车车的本领也不怎么吸引听众,所以我们大伙儿很快就感到疲惫了。

就在太阳渐渐西下后,我们回到了 The Villa,相约好隔天的行程后,我们就告别了阿车!



x x x x x

你以为这就是一天吗?当然不会忘了吃的那一部分!

就先从阿车带我们去吃的午餐开始吧!
--> “很贵” <-- 这是我们看到菜单后的评语! --> “不好吃” <-- 这才是重点! 所以当阿车要带我们去吃晚餐的时候,大家都很直接的拒绝了,并开始了我们的 food hunt! 十一人中8个人决定尝一尝这里的墨西哥餐,而江边鸟,Bean 和 Keat 三个不怕肚泄隔天没力的新世纪真好男人,决定到处走走一尝这里的街边小食!


边吃边走,走到哪就吃到哪!

几乎都把街上没看过的东西塞进肚子后,我们就回 The Villa ~ 结束了这柬埔寨的第一天!

Cambodia Trip 2009: Prelude

江边鸟回来了。

在短短的六天柬埔寨之旅,
江边鸟和十个同行的朋友,
飞机,巴士,的士,自行车,徒步...
攀山涉水地浏览了这一个国家的其中两个州属 -- Siam Reap & Phnom Penh

终于在有生之年看到了世界七大遗迹之一,跳了跳,
拍了拍大约>3500张的淫荡照片...
也到过了古庙,博物院,Killing Field,还有好几个看起来都一样的市场...
看过了近一千年前的石雕,金碧辉煌的现代皇宫,当地小市民的生活...
也尝过了一些道地的正餐与小食...

这一切一切当然都要好好记录下来,因为鸟的脑袋实在太小了,装不下这么多的美好回忆!

但那将会是长篇大论的,还会有很多很多的照片!

这一篇:序

Cambodia ~ Go Go Go ~~!!!

半年前就已经定下廉价机票的时候 -- 很爽快!
丝毫没考虑半年后在身边发生的种种 -- “意外”!
当然,这些“意外”都有好有坏~ 就看我怎么去看待!

意外一:钱钱钱钱不够用
由于一些没有预算到的开销将我的花红和储蓄一举歼灭,所剩的残花败柳真的是惨不忍睹,所以一小部分旅费也是和同事借来的,谢谢同事的慷慨解囊,江湖救急,还丝毫不收 interest,真是太感动能够认识这一班同事了~~ 付出的代价就是下个月的薪水没了!

意外二:工工工工赶不完
突然吃重的工作,再加上圣诞节整整两个星期的懒散,老鸟工作到最后一分钟才堪堪可以暂时将它放下不要去想!付出的代价就是放了虫小姐好大一架飞机~不能见面啦~好可惜!

意外三:你你你你是我的...傻婆!
因为以上的意外一,这一次无法带你随行;
因为以上的意外二,这几天也无法陪你多一些;
委屈你了!不要再气我了,乖乖等我回来,好不好? 想你 :)

但不管怎么样,今晚还是如期出发!Cambodia~ Go Go Go ~~!!!

鸟鸟双周记 w01 & w02

31st Dec 2008
08年的最后一天
New Year Eve

为了避免塞车,4pm就已经离开公司了,因为今天要到她的家吃饭,不可以迟到。

吃了晚饭后就去看戏...


选择了这一部Disney的喜剧,就是希望看了后为2008年写下一个开心的句点。

但其实看不看喜剧也不怎么样,反正江边鸟总是最厉害自爽,无论做什么事情都可以自己爽一下,最希望的还是她一直开心。

云吞面
Wan Tan Mee

相信吗?看着电视节目欢庆欢庆的同时,我正一筷子地把云吞面往嘴里塞。

由于看了戏后送她回家的同时感到肚子饿,所以就到附近的小贩中心吃夜宵,也就因为这样云吞面成了我2009年的第一餐!

呵呵,听起来的确很不浪漫,但管它的,重要的是和谁在一起,不是吗?

海边的淫荡
Yam dong at beach!

隔天一觉睡醒,就已经是中午了。

由于Photojin买了新相机,结果就在下着雨的下午几个傻瓜去了海边一起淫荡 -- 拍照!

2009年的第一天就在海边做“猴子戏”!真是无比的美好啊~



2nd Jan 2009
有朋自远方来
Visit of a friend

今天特地为了一个从 KL 来拜访的朋友请假,并带她到处走走。

我们一定还会再见的! :)



3rd Jan 2009
新衣
New Shirt

到 Gurney 走走,也买了第一件新年衣。



6th Jan 2009
是梦吗?
Is it a dream?

江边鸟都会设定两个闹钟,第一个是真的闹钟,而另一个就是声音比较小的电话,两个响铃的时间约相差 5-10 分钟。

就如往常般,当第一个闹钟响的时候,江边鸟就跳了起来将它管掉,然后又跳上床继续赖床,与此同时也等待着电话的铃声。

就如往常般,电话也跟着响了,江边鸟又跳了起来把它放置 snooze mode,然后又跳上床继续赖床。

下床上床,动作就如往常般的顺畅,一气呵成,行云如水~

但今天不同的是,我的电话还是响个不停;也不管我是将闹铃关了,甚至把整个电话都关掉再开机,开机再关机,重复了几次,声音还是不间断地响!

难道是我的电话坏了?纳闷了好久好久,才发现原来是...

...现实中的电话在响,而我却拼命地在我的梦里关机!

双眼睁开的时候,我笑了,嘲笑自己的呆!连梦与现实都分不清楚。

那么这两个星期所发生的美好,会是梦吗?

看着电话里的 SMS,呵呵,当然不是! :)



9th Jan 2009
如果我没有遇到你,我还会不会是我自己?
If it's not you...

几年前读过古淑娟的一篇文章,故事述说奶油墨魚和胡椒蝦在一起过了一段很快乐的时光,而当他们回到各自的家照着镜子的时候,才发现...

...奶油墨鱼变成了胡椒墨鱼,而胡椒虾也在镜子前看到了满身奶油的自己。

不管我们愿不愿意,人与人的相遇,相知,相处总是会在我们的人生里留下痕迹。

既然是挥不掉的过去,那就带在身上当养分,滋润着种下未来种子的土地吧!



10th Jan 2009
淫荡桑~!!!牛一补庆祝~
Sang’s birthday Celebration

今晚为了补庆淫荡桑的生日,我们一行十个人到 Raja Uda 的 “阿吉海鲜饭店” 用餐!

十个人吃了 RM480!呵呵,有够离谱!

因为我们点了大大只的螃蟹;大大只的暹猪脚;大大只的濑尿虾;大大只的象牙蚌(一只足以分成清炒和sashimi来吃!)等等!!

当然贵咯~



11th Jan 2009
生日快乐
Happy Birthday

是你啦~ 对你说的 :)
在这里和你说生日快乐,够给脸了吧~!(因为这样就不需要给礼物了,呵呵呵呵!)

Jump thru 2008!!!

又是新的一年了,迎接 2009 的同时,当然不忘了回顾江边鸟的 2008 ~

自从三月从新写回我的鸟言鸟语... 今年我总共写了75篇文章...

这一年的 entry 比以往三年的总和还要多!

这显示出其实单身后真的是很无聊的!呵呵~

所以,在新的一年里不管自己还是不是单身,也会继续的写下去,继续记录着我的青春!(因为已经剩下不多了!!!)

这一年里也何其幸运的出差美国两次。虽然为期不长,但也足以为我的2008写下精彩的几十页!

当然也不会忘了这一年里头的 “淫荡跳跃”


有阳光男孩们的淫荡 Langkawi

有 Hoover Dam 的

有Las Vegas 的old folks musical

有 hardrock 的大吉他

有Universal Studio的超人

也有帅气的

还有灌蓝的

不忘了大桥上的难得一跳

还有完成时的喜跃~

最后是公司尾牙圣诞前夕的乱跳!

新的一年里希望自己样样顺利,身体健康,世界和平,还有能“跳”到更多的地方!
