My Uniform

So, now I’m in Motorola for almost 4 months.

How is life working in Motorola? Erm……this one is my first job after grad, so, I found that everything is fine working in this multinational company. The working environment is good, my colleague are smart and nice, my pay is okie, my job still okie, the benefits of the company is okie, flexible working hour, free tea break everyday, free breakfast every Friday …………

So, everything is superb fine except ……………..UNIFORM



The uniform design is 20 years ago and they are still using the same design for today. It may look “In” enough 20 years ago, but now is “Out”. Especially for guys, they all wanna commit suicide the first time they wear the orange flowers uniform.

This is my first time to see someone using orange to match with green in clothing design. In the sense of art, these 2 colours never match well! Motorola handphone is stylish but…….but………uniform……….><

Boys and Girls (Part I)

CYLee asked me whether female clothing is more expensive than male clothing. Most of the girls will shout out: “YES!” Okie……..my answer is NO.

If you can find a few thousand Ringgit dress, you can also find a few thousand Ringgit male clothing. If you want to buy female dress below RM10, guys also have t-shirt sold below RM10.

So, why we are shouting that our clothes are more expensive? The different is capacity! Girls cannot make themselves wearing the same dress 365 days, but guys can wear the same old boring t-shirt 365 days.

我是外星人 ~ Hokkien World

今天在超级市场花钱。花完钱后，我要去拿车了。 走着走着，一位印度Jaga叔叔跟我说了一堆福建话。我到底来到什么世界啊？印度叔叔尽然跟我说福建话。。。。。呜呜。。。我感觉自己好失败。。。。。呜呜。。

来到了槟城，我就像来到了火星。我有着华人的肤色，但用着不同的语言。 学不到福建话的原因： 1）在家：我说马来话，因为我与两位马来同胞，一位不会福建话的华人（华人+Iban）同住在一起。

2）在公司：我说英文和华语。我的组员，十人内只有两人是槟城人

能学福建话的时间：午餐。我只学了“椰水”，“凉茶”，“冷或热”，“收钱”，“一二三十五六七八九十”的简单福建话名词。。。。。。。。看来我需要一段好长好长的时间学福建话了！

Today I went to shopping in Sunshine supermarket. When I want to take my car , an Indian “Jaga” spoke out a bunch of Hokkien to me. ……….What the hxxx? Even Indian Mr. “Jaga” can speak Hokkien!

Where am I? I’m in an island called “Penang” where all of the “yellow coloured” skin human can speak Hokkien. Even some “dark colour or brown colour’ skin human can speak Hokkien better than me!

I am a Chinese who knows mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Malay and English except Hokkien! Everyone is speaking Hokkien with me, but I replied them in Mandarin. I look so ALIEN!

"认识的陌生人"

在friendster接到一位“朋友”的“add as friend request”。

我的心情好复杂。那是一位我想“遗忘”的朋友，怎知道他尽然找上门。-_-"

人是没有永远的敌人。

对！他称不上是敌人，也不是朋友。

他只是一位我“认识的陌生人”。

陌生是因为我不知道面具背后的那张脸。

Rasa Rasa Penang

玩了半个东南亚后，来了一个小岛开始了我的社会大学旅程。人人都说槟城是个美食天堂，我当然要尝一尝那些美食啦！现在我有了我自己的交通工具，再加上槟城不大，迷路了也不用害怕。嘻嘻！ 所以我买了一本书，周末时我可以做功课了。哈哈！ People said Penang is a heaven of yummy food........So, I bought a book last Friday. Finding and eating tasty food is my weekend activities........hehehe

红绿对抗

今天翻开报纸，台湾红潮出现后，绿潮陆续呈现。这个娑婆世界是公平的，有黑就有白。

只是我不明白的是绿潮用“爱台湾。爱安定”作为口号。从扁先生参选到成为总统，台湾没有一天是安定的。枪击事件，贪污，跟中国搞对抗啦。。。。。如果扁先生还继续“厚脸皮”，台湾不知道几时才能安定？

世界上那么多政治人物贪污，不见得全都被抓。扁先生，你的功夫还不到家，回家再修炼吧！别赖死不走，以为自己是“贪污英雄”！

Erm...........Wong. This one really hard for me to translate :p. Is something related to Political issues in Taiwan. Jz that I dun like the Mr.President.

博客

当“博客风”吹起的时候，我没有特别去注意它。当时我想“博客”只是让无聊的人写一些日常无聊的东西吧？或让一些人满足一下“偷看”别人日记的欲望吧？（不好意思，得罪得罪一下。。。。。）

大学刚开始时，没太多的空闲时间读别人的博客。大四时，蛮多朋友开始写博客了！那时我发现，好久没联络的好朋友不见了手机。问他怎样遗失的，他说不想提起伤心事，去看他的博客吧！…….博客成了他的代言人？

现在我发现，博客也有它的好处。读着读着朋友们的博客，我可以知道他们最近状况如何，他们的趣事，他们的心情。没写博客的朋友们，你们还好吗？

在此，我也想告诉你们，我现在在槟城 = 一个几乎是华人就会说福建话的小岛。（但是，我不会福建话。。呜呜呜。。。）如果你有到槟城来，记得找我啊！

At first, i don't really pay attention to blogs.....somemore, I dun have the "free" times to read or write it during Uni times. I prefer games instead of writing or reading blogs.

For me, blog seems like a diary for those "very free" people to crap around or for people to look at others people diaries freely. Until one day, I found out that Mr. Jerry lost his phone. When i asked him how he lost it, he jz ask me to read his blog............(open his mouth also lazy :p)

Now, I found that I can know how my friends' life getting on from their blogs. I'm writing blog too! Jz wanna tell u (the one who is reading :p): I'm fine. Now working in Penang as engineer lol. If u r coming to Penang, pls visit me . hehe!

Hope u guys r fine too! :)

What did you really bring back from vacation?

Erm.....this is a newsletter i received from IFAW(International Fund for Animal Welfare).

"Each year, customs officers seize thousands of wildlife items from travelers, many of them tourist souvenirs made from endangered or threatened species. Examples include elephant ivory carvings and jewelry, tortoise and turtle shell accessories, big cat skins, reptile skin handbags, belts and shoes, porcupine quill coasters and lampshades, coral and shells, and many more!"

Ya..I didn't really think of that. In Malaysia beaches, we found many stalls selling sea shells and coral. Yup......they are pretty. But sea shells should be placed inside the sea, not our cupboard or tables, rite?

So, next time think twice before you buy souvenirs.......

水 (WATER)

第一天到柬埔寨，不清楚为什么到处都有卖矿泉水。直到我冲凉时才知道原因。那儿的水有一种奇怪的味道，洗脸时，眼睛就好像碰到海水，刺刺的感觉。早上和晚上刷牙时，我用矿泉水漱口，因为我真的不习惯那味道。

去到越南的北部，那种味道还存在，只是没那么重。到了越南北部，那些水的素质好了一点，但也不比马来西亚的好。原来我们是那么的幸运...........

The first day in Cambodia, everywhere is selling mineral water or drinking water in bottles. People said that water in Cambodia is not clean.

Okay, at first, I really don’t believe it. When I got my first bath in Cambodia, then only I know how clean the water is. The tap water is in brown colour with a funny smell. When I wash my face, I felt like I’m using sea water, not tap water. When I brush my teeth, I really wanna skip it! The fresh toothpaste smell can’t even cover the funny smell of the water. So, I ended up using mineral water to brush my teeth.

The funny smell of the water exists in the South of Vietnam also (Saigon, Nha Trang, etc). The quality of the water improve moving from South to North of Vietnam.

How lucky is Malaysian with all the clean tap water provided. So, don’t simply waste water. :)

"Nightmare" bus trip

5 something at Hanoi waiting the bus to go to Vientiane, Loas. This bus trip is going to be my longest trip ---> 20 hrs. While waiting for the bus, I jz wan to pray that the bus will be a nice and comfortable one which is same as Malaysia express bus. From the beginning of my backpack until now, we haven't got onto a comfortable express bus. When I saw the bus, I was shocked.......go into the bus.......I wanna CRY!!!

五点多在湖内（Hanoi）等巴士去万象(Vientiane, Laos). 这趟巴士将是我二十四年来最久的一趟巴士----->20个小时。等着的时候，我已经有种不安的感觉。从旅程开始到现在，我们没有坐过一辆巴士像马来西亚的长途巴士那样豪华及舒服的。 当我看到那辆巴士时，已经被吓了一跳。再走进巴士里，我很想哭了！

CAN U C ??????????????????看到吗？？？？？？

A puppy was going to Vientiane with us!一只小狗与我同坐巴士。 Continue.............................................再看看。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 The back sits of the bus was filled up with luggage.最后的座位已经被旅行袋填满了。

Ahhhhh........I'm I going to sit on the bus for 20 hrs?

好恐怖喔！！！！那巴士就像我中学时的巴士，座位的空间只够我们坐下及放脚，没多余的空间。我要坐在那儿20个小时！屁股将要开花了！呜呜呜呜。。。。。。。。。

中毒

看来我中了“自游”毒。星期五买了“世界地图上的印记”（Journey Impressions on the Map）。看了几页后，心头涌现一种要去旅行的冲动。。。。。。。

啊！！！！！好多地方要去。。。。。。

可能在我的DNA里有着一个小小的讯息吧，所以我好喜欢旅游。爸爸年轻时，到过土耳其（Turkey）,西班牙（Spain）,法国（France）, 意大利（Italy）,英国（England）,印度（India）,阿富汗（Afghanistan）等等。有些地方是爸爸与朋友自助旅行的地方，有些是与我妈妈去吃风（那时我才三岁，丢下我和妹妹跑去吃风）。

我何时才能去那些地方找我爸爸的足迹呢？。。。。。。

老巫婆

看着看着‘潇湘过客’的博客，发现“自游的巫婆”的字眼，按下去。。。。。原来是我的博客。“巫婆”听下去好老喔。。。。。。我不要！ 虽然我已经25岁了，但还没够资格用“婆”这个字来称呼吧？ “老巫婆”这个花名是从中学生活营里得回来的。那时，戏剧导演要找人演“老巫婆”，被提名的“演员们”都一一拒绝演出。导演只好问我，一个默默无闻的小人物演“老巫婆”！ “好啊！”从小到大，我都是好孩子，好姐姐，好学生。。。。。。做做“坏人”也不错吧？想起有次生活营，我好想演坏学生，朋友们都丢出一句“你不像！”的话把我压倒了。呜呜。。。。。我被定型了。其实，我是个多才多艺的演员来的。可能是我演得太好吧，“老巫婆”为那戏剧带来高潮，小朋友们和家长们都哈哈大笑！就这样，“老巫婆”随着我至现在。 没有半点埋怨，因为“老巫婆”让我想起中学时最快乐的时光。

I'm GRAD!

That's ME! I cried when i sang the MMU song : Permata Dunia.

The first time i sang it ,is during the orientation. I dunno whether i made the correct choice, i left most of my good friends, seperate with my bf and enter MMU alone. The first yr is a night mare yr for my room mate and I. We had a selfish and terrible senior room mate, no transport, no good food in the hostel.........TRAP in a CONCRETE JUNGLE!

luckily, we survived for the long 4 yrs. I found a good job and good friends. I sang "Permata Dunia" for the last time during convo, we all r proud of ourselves, our families are proud of us too, MMU is proud of us too!

Backpack Day 4

第四天早上，我们坐巴士离开金边（Phnom Penh）到越南去。半路时我们去上厕所，你会看见好多小孩在那儿行乞。上了厕所后，我去付钱，付完后，那班小孩围过来讨钱。快把我吓死了，我冲冲地离开，但被一给断了手掌的小孩拉着。救命呀！。。。。。。。这时，坐在一旁的大人喝一喝，他们跑了。

我不是冷血的，只是…….只是………..我帮不到那么多小孩呀！

柬埔寨是个让我心疼的地方，那儿小孩的眼里，我看不见未来，很悲哀。我要感恩感恩，因为活在马来西亚，因为出生在一个小康之家，因为我有爱我的家人。

No tools No Work

i wanna do my work.....but no tools given to me.

HAI~~~~ I'm entering the project team in wrong timing.

Seems like many things to do, can do -------------> for them

Seems like many things to do, but can't do -------> ME!

救自己。。。。。

小时候，爸爸时常提心我和妹妹，流血时，无论手有多肮脏，也要按着伤口止血。心想：“哎呀，这么简单，全部人都会啦！”直到我听到很多故事，才发觉，其实有很多人不会的。

******************************************************************************

故事一：背包旅行时，我赤脚爬山（因为穿拖鞋好难爬），不小心割伤脚板，流好多血。我找个位子坐下止血。某某问为什么按着伤口？"“止血呀！你不知道吗？”我答道。

故事二：上急救课时，飞机场员工想知道止血的方法。因为发生过一起命案，一个小孩在玻璃茶桌上奔跳。玻璃破了，刺伤大腿，血“喷”出来**！全不知道怎样办，短短三分钟，小孩死了。

故事三: 利建業受伤的地方，并不是致命伤，但没有及时的急救（止血），他走了。http://www.sinchew-i.com/article.phtml?artid=200607301102&data=scnews&spid=11071 。 *******************************************************************************

朋友们，无论当时您的手有多肮脏，也要按着伤口止血至到伤口愈合或急救人员到来。 记得记得!!!

**为什么血会“喷”出来？人体有两种血管，Artery 血管的血压很高，刺破了，血是“喷”出来，而不是“流”出来。



When I was little, my father always told that: “No matter how dirty is your hand, press on the cut and stop bleeding.” He just reminds and reminds us again. “Ok……..easy job only. Everyone should know this, right?” I assumed.

My assumption is wrong until I meet someone, I heard some stories!

Story 1: During my backpack trip, I hurt my foot and bleeding. I found a place to sit down and stop the bleeding. My partner asked: “How to stop bleeding?” “Oh…..is easy. Just press on the cut and it’ll stop bleeding. Don’t you know that?” I replied.

Story 2: In a First Aid class, the workers of airport wanna know the ways to stop bleeding. Why? There was a case where a child jumping up and down on a glass made coffee table. The glass broke and cut the boy’s leg. Blood gushing out like fountain**. No one knows what to do…….In 3 minutes, the boy die.

Story 3: The injuries of Lee Khian Yip are not fatal injuries. He lost a lot of blood before the paramedic can save him.http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/1/nation/15009983&sec=nation .

How to stop bleeding? Give direct pressure on the wound, another way of speaking, PRESS on the wound until the bleeding is stop or first aid is given.

** Why blood will gush out instead flow out from the wound? Biology time……there are 2 types of blood vessels; blood in artery will have high pressure. So, blood will gush out from artery instead of flow out.

我跟谁？

左起：永强，我，Eric Ee

我跟谁去旅行呢？女性朋友？男朋友？都不是！是一位我认识的男生和一位他认识的男生，三个人而已。跟男生在一起，有好处，当然也有坏处啦。好处是，我有两位免费的“保镖”。坏处是，我们都失去了私人空间。

记得有一次在越南，我们住进了一间房间是用玻璃式的冲凉房，那就是我们可以看见冲凉房里的人。Oh My God! 那我不是吃亏了！没有办法，只好轮流用房间吧！一人冲凉，其他下楼上网去。

另一次是我们去看某间民宿的房间。Eric 说：“不要在这里，因为房间太偏僻了，怕你一人睡有危险。”傻了，我只觉得房间小了一点，脏了一点，旧了一点，但没想到我自己的安全呢！因为，我已经把自己当成男生了。哈哈！

除了“大姨妈”到访的日子，我都跟他们同房不同床睡。Eric 是最早睡，最迟那个。嘻嘻！

Actually, I went to backpacking with my friend and my friend’s friend. HaHa! Two of them are guys and I’m the only girl. Why not ask some girls to join us? When the word “backpack” is mentioned, every one will have a heavy look. “Backpack” = suffering vacation. Why want to suffer when you are in vacation? Because it’s FUN! :p (I like to suffeeeeeerr...........)

So, traveling with guys is not difficult and uncomfortable as I thought. At least, I have two “Free” bodyguards with me. But, the bad side is, we don’t have our privacy.

When in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam, we stayed in a room together. At first, everything seems ok until Eric told that: “The door of the bath room is made of glass.” Oh My God! How are we going to take bath? So, anyone who want to use the bath room, others will need to go downstairs and online.

Another time was in Vang Vieng, Laos. We went to a guest house and take a look of the rooms. The rooms are too small, only suitable for two people only. So, we need to stay in separate rooms. Eric told me that better not to stay there, the guest house is too isolated, is not safe to let a girl stay alone in a room. Oh…........ I forget……..i’m a girl. :p

Backpack Day 3

第三天早上，我们搭巴士去金边（Phnom Penh）。去到金边时已经是中午了。巴士停下后，一大堆司机围着巴士的出口，问要计程车吗。（好恐怖！）金边不是一个很安全的城市。TukTuk司机会提醒游客把贵重的东西收好，避免去非旅游区游玩。我的另一班朋友在非旅游区被一些顽皮的小孩丢石头，我们也遇到一位游客被趴走钱包了。

The bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh 午餐后，我们坐上TukTuk车，去The Killing Fields 《战火屠城》一个很悲哀的地方。更多照片和资料可以从这网站得到： http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choeung_Ek。过后，我们去s-21监狱：红色高棉 （Khmer Rouge）的一处集中营，一个培养国家栋梁的学校变成了阴森森的监狱。可悲！ 接下来，要去国家王宫，但是关门了。只好在王宫前的广场拍照，走走。傍晚时，当地人会在广场野餐。那两个傻佬说，“为什么今天去的地方，全都布满了悲哀的气氛？”其实，金边还有银殿（Silver Pagoda）又称玉佛寺（Emerald Buddha），金边王宫，国家博物馆等， 好玩的地方。

In front of Royal Palace 在金边坐 TukTuk 车时，请戴上口罩。:p 因为到达 Killing Fields 时，甩一甩头，一团黄色的尘烟会出现在你周围。哈哈哈！晚上时，我们到Mekong River 旁散步。这里是个很热闹的城市，就好像吉隆坡那样。

Third day in Cambodia, we took a morning bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. We reached Phnom Penh in the afternoon. When the bus stopped, there will be a lot of car, TukTuk, motorcycle drivers crowded at the door and waiting for their “targets”.

Phnom Penh is a city similar to KL. So, Malaysian knows lah……city is not a safe place. TukTuk driver will try to advise tourists to keep their digital cameras safely (don’t hang on the neck).

We went to The Killing Fields and s-21 Prison. These two are totally a sad place. For more information, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choeung_Ek. After that, we want to visit the Silver Pagoda and Royal Palace, but the places close at around 5.30pm. Therefore, we just walk around near the Mekong River in front of Royal Palace.

We like to ride on TukTuk car, because we can really feel the atmosphere of the city, people, air and DUSKS! Hahaha. When you are in Phnom Penh, please wear a mask. The road to the Killing Fields is dusty. At night, we take a walk around our hotel and near the Mekong River. We meet a foreigner who has lost his wallet and we just help him out by giving some money to him. So that he can take TukTuk or motorcycle to Police Station and the embassy authorities.

* Just becareful when you are in the city area, Phnom Penh or KL. :p
