有头发,谁想要做la lei

生活上的种种现实残酷,真的可以把一个人变得很野兽。我今天终于领悟到了。

我今天领悟到,中国人的丑陋习俗,是现实生活造成的。(我明白并这不代表我赞同及可以忍受他们的丑陋)

上海有很多条地铁线。我先前还以为每一条的地铁线的环境、感觉都一样的。我一路来都只搭过1号线及2号线。都觉得地铁就是一句话可以形容,挤得好象沙丁鱼似的。而且每一个人看上去都很令人讨厌,肮脏的感觉油然而生。

今天,某种原因,我搭了4号线。让我有好像从地狱突然到了天堂的感觉。4号线,光线很够,亮亮的,很干净的感觉,地铁里面也很宽敞。上班高峰时间,也一点都不挤,到了站,还有很有礼貌的广播:“因为下雨天,路比较滑,请大家留意。”很温暖的感觉崛然而起。每一个人看上去也很顺眼。

突然想起广东话有一句:“有头发,谁想要做la lei”。挺有意思的。

如果环境好,又没有拥挤带来的不适与烦躁,谁愿意有个看上去就令人讨厌的脸孔?谁愿意做沙丁鱼?谁愿意在昏暗的人群中上下地铁?谁不想在空荡、有空间、亮亮的地铁站等地铁、搭地铁?

我今天真正的领悟到“有头发,谁想要做la lei”的意思。很有感触。也突然很同情中国人。如果不是以前的不同朝代因为腐朽的朝廷带来百姓艰难的生活、日战时期的痛苦、战后的闭门政策、等等,他们也不会embrace现在这样丑陋的习俗吧?

唉哉!

生活造人。

新家。忙。开心。

双休日,我们两坐上搬家公司的货车,带着复杂的心情离开旧家,怀着快乐、期待的心情来到新家。花了3天忙着把东西搬进箱子,却只花了搬家公司的1小时从旧家搬到新家。他们的速度真快。我也不忘了把我们唯一在中国买的家具给搬进新家--在宜家买的一个鞋架!哈哈!其实新家也已经有两个鞋架了,但总不成把它给扔了吧?

我答应给你们拍下新家的照片,但最近真得很忙。可能要到6月中才可以实现这个诺言。哈哈。

我很喜欢这个新家呢!老公也说了一句话令我感动了很久 :“老婆,虽然我们的新家离我们的工作远一点,但是我知道这个新家会带给你快乐,所以也无所谓了:)希望你现在会每天都快乐一点。”

新家的neighborhood是比较有教养的一群,所以我们牺牲了工作的距离,就为了回家后可以过个比较人性化的生活:)

我们第一晚还睡不着,老想着旧家的床,真犯溅。第一天的早上,我的屁股也抗议,不肯有大便的欲望,难不成它也想念旧家的马桶?我昏过去。不过还好,第二天,一切都恢复正常了。:)

朋友们,我的新家有一间客房,随时欢迎你们来住哦!

再说一遍,我搬了新家很开心!!:)

旅游



我们的公司会主办一个旅游去“这个”地方玩(最近得罪人多,还是不要曝露太多行踪为妙,哈哈!)。全公司都去。还有5个小孩子(同事的孩子)一起去,我希望他们无论如何都不要在我面前烦我。旅游有小孩是最烦的,还要有一个是老板的孩子,昏掉。

好了,我已经对自己说,今天开始(看我可以忍到几时)我会尽量只往好的地方看,ignore all the ugly side.

Ganbatte!

Smoking in China

One recent survey showed that in China, 60% of male is a heavy smoker, 3% of female is a heavy smoker. This is from newspaper, I forgot to copy the link la. Fug lah.

In my office, 95% of the guys are heavy smoker. None of the women are smoker, which is good.

I just got back from a very 难受lunch, the guys colleague kept smoking and smoking and smoking, until I got headache. I seriously cannot understand, they don't scared die young from smoking so heavily???

I smelled like I just been to karaoke or disco. Damn irritating smell. My hair, face, clothing, hands, neck, sifut all smell like shit now!

Do you know that 98% restaurants in this country does not have non-smoking area? So if your neighbor table is a heavy smoker, you are screwed up big time.

I hate.

Discovery

It took me 1 day to think back who was the person behind the Sept 11 attack, he is Osama Bin Laden (yes, I admist i must be old... how can I loose out this piece from my memory?? But I am really bad with names... that's the fact.)

Why I suddenly think of him? Reason 1: lately watched the movie Flight 93, very touched. Reason 2: I was taking flight from Guangzhou back to Shanghai on China Airline yesterday, and 1 observation really strucked me like lightning..

My seat was at 4th row. So I can see most of the movement very clearly. Having watched Flight 93, I was giving extra attention to the cockpit door, in my brain, the memory of the movie kept running - how the bad guys force into the cockpit and have control the whole plane.. how the good guys bump through the hard cockpit door and struggle with the bad guys, at the end save the plane from hitting white house.

My extra attention given to the cockpit door showed me some shocking fact. It is either the officer inside the cockpit door is very yim jim or what, he kept asking things from the stewardess, firs of all, 3 glasses of orange juice, then 1 botol of mineral water, then 3 sets of meal tray, then tissue, then etc etc etc. The whole flight, the cockpit door kept opening and closing. Stewardess knocked on the door with code, he opened it and get the stuff. He opened the door and ask stewardess to get him the stuff, door closed, then door was knocked again by stewardess, and stuff was pass to him. Then door open again, officer went into the lavotory, which is just 90 degree to the cockpit door.

The whole process... I was thinking, if Osama bin Laden one day decided to hijack the china plane, it will be damn easy. There were so many opportunities to bump through that cockpit door, it was opening and closing the whole time anyway. no need to use force also can go in loh...

We poor passengers will then be like Flight 93, making calls back home to say "I love you" to the loved ones. Chinese will have no issue with this, many of them did not turn off the handphone anyway.

Life seems very cheap at that moment.

First time this year...

First time this year, I am wearing skirt to office!!! Hohohoho!!! Feels great!!!

Summer is finally here I think, if no more crazy taifun and unstable 气流,we should be able to enjoy the sun for the next coming few months!!! Yahooooo~~~~

Feels really great:) I stored the heavy and bulky winter clothes away last weekend, and move out lots of summer clothes and dresses. Yes, my day is here. Skirty Months~~~

Can you see me smiling over here :)

Uneasy afternoon

Just got back from a business trip, and here I am in the office, feeling uneasy about everything.

1) due to an official product launch, we must have a guai low face in our event. And so no choice, have to invite the director. We have to submit CV to share with the media, so ask CV from him. He just replied email and said bla bla bla my CV is very simple, I work since 1983, then move to europe, then france, then Malaysia, bla bla bla until now, I love kids but not married yet, and I love Asia (what the F???). Say nothing about education level, nothing about what's his position in europe, france, or whatsoever country, and if he did anything marvellous over there. So, not only I have to imagine what's his post, I have to translate it into chinese. MAKAHAI loh!!!!!!!!!!

2) Our admin, kept on arguing with someone over the phone, on 1 point. Just 1 point, it takes her from 3pm until now, past 2 hours, round and round and round talking on the phone with that one point:
- admin:" we will only pay full after the service. I can pay half now only"
- the other person over the phone :"no, we need to receive full payment before service"
Can't one of them just give in? Sitting at my place, I can hear what's she say on the phone totally, and it is really making me crazy!!!!!!!!! @#$%!



....... I think my P is coming. Damn mung cheng!!@#$!

SHOCKED

I accidentally stumbled into this website while I was doing work today. My mouth was widely open, and shocked that somebody actually think what he did and think was very much to be proud of, and put on the website. Totally amazed!!

I very 鄙视 this guy! If you want to read. Please click on here. But be prepared, you will have another "cultural" shock.

(注:the article was 1 year old. So perhaps after a year, the man has learnt that his thinking is very 要不得,and have some improvements. please help him!!)

3 great movies

Recently, I watched 3 movies. 3 movies also very ichiban!!!! I really like them all.

1) Flight 93
It is a reconstruction of what happened to flight 93, that was supposed to hit white house or capitol building on Sept 11 incident, but end up hitting on the ground after the survival fight between teh 40+ passengers with the 3 terrorists on the plane. I really salute to them all!!!

2) Inside Man
Starred by Denzel Washington and Clive Owen. Very cleverly thought movie, dunno based on true story or not. It is about a cleverly planned and thought through bank robber lead by Clive Owen. Very entertaining and yet suspension movie. Ichiban!

3) Match Point
Starred by Jonathan Rhys Meyer and Emily Mortimer and Scarlett Johansson. It is about a poor guy, due to the lust for better power, wealth, and job, marry a rich man's daughter, but later on have affair with another sexy lips woman. (she is really sexy!!!). 剧情紧张,曲折。Very very ichiban!!!! I was having difficulty breathing normally for the suspension it created. Damn chi gek. But the conclusion of this movie makes me feel a bit depressed - the conclusion is: the important element of your life is LUCK. With Good Luck, you can accomplish many things. It is true, thinking back of the plots in this movie, that guy named Chris (Jonathan Rhys Meyer) is damn good luck through out!!

Chloe (Emily Mortimer) the wife, is really not pretty lah. Damn irritating. But perhaps it is also true that rich and wealthy family normally do not have pretty daughters. haha..

Nola (Scarlett Johansson) is really sexy!! My god!

Yes, i have to confessed one thing - I watched these movie on pirated DVD, with superior quality.

MI:3

MI:3,中国人翻译为谍中谍3. The censorship body is considering banning this movie in China (luckily I watched it in Malaysia already, knew somehow this will happen!), due to one reason: 片中有丑化上海的‘味道’,没有太多的繁华都市情景,只有肮脏凌乱狭小的小弄堂,以及凉衣杆。

其实,我也觉得美国人在拍这部片的时候,潜意识里还是认为上海还是比美国落后的。他完全忽略了看这一部电影的人,华人是会占很大部分的,中国人更是不可漠视的一批观众,而正在或曾经在上海生活过的人更是不少。导演竟然有一段叫Tom Cruise去衡山路找一个人,但那镜头拍出来的却是灰暗,好像很穷的一个小区(有一点象美国的黑人小区)。我就在衡山路的附近住的,我可以很肯定那不是衡山路。衡山路是很有名的一条路,店组很贵,房租也很贵,基本上,什么都很贵的一条路。再来,镜头shift到他从衡山路的一个小房间里窥望外面,那个景色,根本不是衡山路可以望到的景色,有一点象香港。但可能是浦东。令我很浑惑。我就这样的在批判,那10分钟内,我的心根本不在剧情里头,miss了那一段的剧情。

美国人,真的有时候太自大了一点。

但话说回头,中国人也太小气了一点。就为了这一点考虑把片子给阁下,就因为片子有贬低中国形象的涉嫌,太没有自信了吧?

(注:这只是本人的humble opinion, 可能那一段真的是在衡山路拍的。但如果是这样的话,导演更不可以原谅咯!因为如果你只是想突出中国简陋的地方,你就不应该用衡山路啦!用其他的地方啦!衡山路太famous over here liao, 导演自讨苦吃。)

进步

最近发觉到一个事实--上海在文明这一块,正在快速的进步着。

1)过马路
最近我发觉到,很多人,开始真的看灯过马路。Amazing.他们的Marketing Campaign - TV station, Posters, Volunteers 没有白做。有一次,我感到深深的震惊,是这样的--有一天,有一对母女和我们共乘一架电梯下楼,母亲大约30岁,女儿大约5岁。我和老公因为忘了带某一样东西,所以我们又乘回同一架电梯回去楼上拿东西,再乘下一架电梯下去。照理讲,那对母女应该更快比我们先过楼下的马路。但当我们已过了楼下的马路,才看到他们从对面走过来。女孩大概也意识到这一件事,正和她的妈妈嘀咕着,他妈妈说:“没事,我好得很,我们遵守秩序过马路”。其实那一条是很小的马路,我和老公是看看没车就从楼房外过了。没看灯。这件事烙在我脑海蛮久--这位妈妈真的很好,以身作则。我很敬佩。惭愧?没有。在上海,久久或多多事都还轮不到我来感到惭愧ok?

2) 我们的办公楼
我们的办公楼也在进步。禁止人们胡乱的在任何一个角落吸烟。Amazing! 还有,以前打的是一件类似“上巴杀”的事--非常乱,没有秩序,人们穿着西装可以和可怜的小姑娘上演一出抢出租车的一幕。可耻!现在,有一个地方专门是给人排队等出租车的,没有的争了。还有管理人员在那儿管理秩序。非常好。

短短的2个月就有如此的进步,我真的觉得很好。

下一个文明的campaign,应该着重在“不随地吐痰”这一块吧!

(注:我除了那条小马路没有看灯过马路外,其他的马路我都是循规蹈矩的等灯过的。)

RMB 7888/year

I told most of you guys that my apartment downstairs is starting to build a yoga center before labor day right? It is completed now, and starting the process of recruiting new members.

Yesterday, I received its brochure slipped through my house door. Happily reading it, my mouth was suddenly like this --> O

RMB 7888 a year for membership!!!!!

FUG!!!!!! HOLI SHEET!!!!!!! WAT THE........@#$%!

MotoGP Race - Shanghai

老公因为工作上的关系,有两张个值980元的MotoGP Race 3日的票。我们因为很懒惰,所以拖到星期天才去。

星期日,10.30am,匆匆忙忙的赶到上海体育馆乘搭他们的专用车到赛车场(大约45分钟车程,还蛮远的)。这一点,马来西亚就做不到了,所以,我很佩服上海在这一方面的考虑周到,以及人力上的分配。到了那边,已经有好几十辆,甚至上百辆的巴士在那里了,(豪华的那种,不是印度的那种OK..)。好壮观的景色。轻松的下了车,我们就朝入门口走去。也要走个20-30分钟,damn far!路途还不断有卖黄牛票的人和卖望远镜的人骚扰。真讨厌。那个望远镜,他可以从150元降价到20元,真不知道真正的cost是多少。

入场的门口:)











Jay的Dream Car











只卖150元到250元,so cheap!!










赛前准备

















Get Ready... Set.... GO!!!

人,人,人.....


猜猜是谁制造了群众的骚动?

是王力宏!!!和蔡依林!!! (其实,我到现在还是搞不懂她是蔡依林还是戴佩妮??我真的老了)他们是来替罗西打气的。Cool~~~他们的出现,让现场的赛车手突然逊色不少。艺人的影响力还是那么的大!现场尖叫声此起彼落。

MotoGP Race 比赛就要开始了!

比赛完毕了,我们去参观赛车手用的赛车款式。这个大辆的,我很想骑上去但怕我的高度不够,所以放弃了...好喜欢它的颜色。


结果,我骑了这一辆instead. Ha! Do I look like Ah Lian?:p














合照一张:)













其实,我们根本不是什么Moto GP Race 的粉丝。所以,我们俩是跟着群众喝彩、尖叫、到最后,谁赢了场比赛,我们俩都不知道。很惭愧。哈!

昨天,我们过得很有意义:)

Brain-washed

Never realized how effective of the brain-washed can a 邪教do to the people, until last night watched the documentary show, on the 1995 东京地铁沙林袭击事件.

I guess I never really read newspaper in 1995 (actually, even nowadays too). Last night documentary show is like a current news to me, damn shocked.

I really wish all these bad guys/leaders will one day sincerely realize what kinda evil things they did to the mankind.

--

接到通知,将会出差去广州及北京几天。

First thing in my mind -- flight delay situation.

Sigh. Time to buy that RMB3 magazine again - kill time at airport/plane.

有没有试过

有没有试过在一个载了很多人的lift,所有人都靠得很近。突然,站在你前面的长发女郎,把头发个甩了一甩,好像在卖shampoo的广告,也好像她要告知给所有的人她的头发很美丽。她的头发狠狠地打到你的脸。你还没有搞清楚什么事情,lift已到了1楼。

@#¥%……!!!

有没有试过,也是在一个载了很多人的lift,所有人都靠得很近。这次,站在你前面的女郎,头发是束起来的。你以为没有什么意外可发生了,但是,unexpectedly, things happened -- 她的头发的确是绑起来,但她完全没有意识到,绑起的头发也占有一定的空间。她忘我地在电梯里左右摆动她的头,上下观看。被束起的发球,差一点就像网球般的快打到你的脸。

@#¥%&*$%#!!!!!

昨晚发了一个恶梦--我竟然胖得像一只猪!好吓人!更吓人的是,那只猪竟然问我,“你知道我是谁吗?”我摇头,它回答说:“笨蛋,我就是你!!”真的是吓醒的今早。

最近回马后的确重了1公斤(那10天真的每天都大鱼大肉)。心里很难受。势必要减肥。吃饭时同事也说我脸颊真的好象长肉了。听了耿耿于怀。回来后马上借上厕所为由,猛照镜子。的确好像是长肉了。唉哉~~~~

oh...


After sun-sun-fu-fu did the research (for work), I understand China a bit more today.

Shanghai is definitely more advance in economy than Beijing... hmm...

假期结束了

放了10天的假期,今早730起床时时在很辛苦。我苦着脸问老公:“你确定今天不是星期天吗?我们可能忘记了,今天可能是星期天”老公没好气地打了我一下屁股,催我赶快起床上班。等我洗刷完毕,他已经穿好鞋子准备出门了。为什么他好像很高兴上班似的?

来到单位,打开我的抽屉,迎接我的竟是一只小蟑螂。讨厌。乘我不在打劫?!!可恶。

这次回国有很多的启示和收获。原来,我们的国家真的在进步着。老公这次回国也顺道renew passport,原想这回肯定要耗上一个下午,没有想到,现在我们可以用KIOSK renew passport. 耗时3分钟而已,各天下午就可以拿!整个过程轻松,不用排队,还有有礼貌的officer帮我们解答一些疑问(譬如,照片只要一张吗?)我佩服得五体投地。很光荣我们的国家可以进步到这个程度!那杀那,有一点感动。让我思索了许多事情。不过,如果income tax department 可以尽快refund 我们的 tax debit 会更好!哈!

吃了好多东西,回来称了一下,重了1kg. kanasai...

唯一遗憾的是,忘了吃butter crab~~~~~ :(

Another 6 months to keep me all excited again. Sigh... 好啦,明天会更好。。 (安慰一下自己)
