健康真的很重要！

709

After seeing what's happening back home on July 9th, I have decided, if by the 2013 election I still hold Malaysia passport, I WILL GO BACK JUST TO VOTE!!

Najisb, I don't know why you so afraid of Fair and Free Election, this is international standard. And I don't know why as a leader of a country, you can mock Anwar in such a kindergarten tone, about he kena tear gas. You just lost my last 10% respect to you. And you are a big fat liar, "no physical contact was made at all"... you are such a jocker. The rakyat were just peacefully rallying on the street, did not burn down any public property nor looting but the polis were hitting people, chasing people with such a trait we never seen them on chasing the snatch thief, and shouting bahasa kasar at harmless women. YOU ARE A BIG FAT LIAR!!

And to the big flock of polis man out on that KL downtown day, finally, you make me realized you do have the "power" and "resources" but unfortunately, you used it on weaponless, unarmed citizens who paid your salary. Please, I beg you, to consider use your power and resources in catching snatch thief! You looked so garang, and so capable on 709. Use the same traits in catching snatch thief I GUARANTEE you won't fail rakyat!!

Damn angry, pissed, and heartache!!!! 公理何在？

败家子

Seriously, you are such a rich man's son, can you just quit your job and don't ka ka cau cau in the office by being unproductive, not following up on the projects you are supposed to, setting appointments with someone and having that someone came to office sit impatiently waiting for you but you are not showing up and none of us know where you are????

实在看不惯这种败家子，好吃懒做。替他的父亲感到心痛。完全不难预测到如果父亲的产业到他手中会怎么败法咯！败家子！！！都近30了，还这样！！！

arghh.. damn angry...

gum dou duk??

Have been quite stress for past two days because the item that I redeemed on Asia Miles (they really have good stuff to be redeemed), comes in DHL, but the DHL guy has not been able to delivered to us (they left the "you have been missed" note) even though Bui Bui works from home and thus should not have missed any delivery at all.

This morning, I went to work, late. As I hurried going out the door, I spotted the DHL guy. I faster go ask him is the package for us. He said yes. But he said he just buzzed us but it was said that no such person. Apparently he buzzed the wrong unit!!!!!!!!! Instead of 50x, he buzzed 50(x+1). I wanted to faint... gum dou duk?? Of course you missed us for 2 days lah!!!

Canada, you memang boleh loh!!

p/s: hou choi I go work late today jeh!

《爱有来生》

Summary excerpt: 一棵银杏树，一段人鬼情未了的故事。一个痴情之鬼阿明，前世深刻爱上了孤女阿九，但因为两个家族的火拼，二人生死离译。阿明死后，成孤魂一缕，在一棵银杏树下，深情等待已经转世的前世爱人50年。

《爱有来生》是根据上海女作家须兰在1990年创作的短篇小说《银杏银杏》而改编的爱情史诗电影。

不能用文字来形容，这个电影很美丽、很凄丽。看了心情久久不能平复。当然，我又泪洒:(

“你的茶凉了，我再去给你续上”。这么简单短短的一句，竟然是整个影片的核心！

看完了，我红着眼睛问Bui Bui, 你也会等我50年吗？你这么笨，肯定我来了你也认不出来，苦苦等待，笨死了！！Bui Bui 说，“我等你100年！就不信等不到！”

中国真的人才济济，太多好演员和好导演了。这电影，是我今年看这么多电影里的 No.1!!!!

演员名单:
俞飞鸿饰阿九、莫小玉 　　
段奕宏饰弟弟阿明 　　
姚鲁饰哥哥 　　
李佳饰小兰、雅萍 　　
涂松岩饰秦言 　　
高虎饰阿九哥哥
而饰演阿九的俞飞鸿，也是首次执导电影，Geng!!! 从准备剧本到完成拍摄，历经了十年的时间。她用《无间道》摄影师、《功夫》剪辑师、《集结号》录音师 、《刺秦》的服装设计师打造钻石级制作群。


这一幕，是震撼我许久的一幕：
...阿明想起，九儿临死前躺在自己怀里跟自己说“来生，你若不认得我，我就说：你的茶凉了，我再去给你续上。你便知那人是我．．．．．．”

　　小玉也仿佛在说了那句“茶凉了，我再去给你续上吧”之后，断断续续想起了前世的自己与阿明，在去续茶路过一面镜子时，立刻痛哭不止，镜子前的自己，分明是前世身着嫁衣的阿九。她什么都明白了。可等她重回银杏树下的时候，任她呼喊，也再不见了阿明．．．．．．　

Tomorrow is Canada Day

Yay, Holiday!!! Long Weekend!!! :)

I hope my fever  will be subsided by tomorrow. Have been sick for 2 days:(

Postal On Strike

Over here, if your job is unionized, you have the right to go on strike if you are "not happy" with your package, as a group.

Our dearest postal office have decided to go on strike for many days already. No mail, no bill, no cheque, BUT you are still responsible in keeping all of your accounts in good standing - meaning, pay bill on time.

Banks are so quiet lately too. Yesterday I went banking, I saw the teller all standing there doing nothing but staring at the screen (pretend do something?). It is so rare. Normally at the hour of 2-3pm is the busiest time for them! I guess they love postal onstrike. haha... of course lah, it means no cheaque in the mail therefore no deposit transaction; no bill in the mail therefore you can't pay your miscellaneaous bill at bank due to no stub; no monthly statement available in the mail, therefore you can't spot their mistake and go to bank ask for a readjustment (trust me, this happens very frequently here, canadian teller are very bad at numbers).

But it is a time to train people go paperless and pay bill online. Though some people rather incur interest due to late payment, also won't want to go paperless and pay bill online (e.g. my boss). I don't know why the older people they gets, especially older rich-ass people are so scared of online transaction.

During this period of time, besides the bank teller, another group of people who are very happy is the courier company. Their business are so good they are grinning from the furthest left to furthest right. Good for them, bad for us as consumer. Courier here damn expensive. I don't know why everything so expensive here and everything in China was so cheap. Anyway...

OK... news said that government intervened already and demand them to go back to work next week wor... don't know how true it is. $100 million sales has been lost in revenue because of their 任性. Oh btw, at the same time, Air Canada was also on strike, asking for better pension benefit, but also intervened by government to ask them go back to work on the 3rd or 4th day. I don't know what to say, I can only say to them, if they don't want to do their job, tonesssssss of qualified immigrants will be happy to take it, but too bad it was controlled by the stupid union. Union is supposed to be a bridge between communication of government/employer to employee, but somehow, I think the union here is very slanted towards the employee. Hmmmmmmmm..... negotiations? or 任性行为??

3 years ago, the waste-removal company was on strike for more than 1 month. Imagine your rubbish got no way to go to, pilling up at your garage, the smell...... the bacteria.... the micro-organism stuff there... yucks... I can only imagine... I don't want to experience it. And year on year, the waste-removal company increased the cost more than the inflation rate, so I don't know what else they want. Do you know over here, you have to pay for the waste-removal company to clear your rubbish, if not they won't touch your garbage bin. And, you have to place the garbage bin nicely outside, the direction has to be accurate (handle facing outward), and the color of the bin has to match exactly what it was for (food, dried leaves, recycle newspaper, recycle magazine/brochure/leaflet), if any of this fail, your garbage bin will be left untouched and until you corrected them, they won't get picked up. It is so "bereucratic"... hmmmmmmmmm

ok, i am bored, no mail means nothing much to do, no need to pay bill coz i won't know the bill amount because boss don't want to go online (i think it is for control purpose too), so yay... as soon as my boss go into meeting, i will read my kindle. muahahaha:)

First day of summer

According to weatherman, today is the first day of summer. I don't know how he arrived at this conclusion and predicted it, well, today really seems hotter. Finally, something above 20 degree celcius!!! Waited for so long. Summer this year is like a 丑妇，总归见家翁了！hahaha... i know i know... lame joke:p

And guess what? Even Google is celebrating first day of summer! hahaha.. so cute lah:)

I am waiting for the cherry season. Last year this time, I don't know finished eating how many bags of cherries already, this year the season is not even started yet... testing my patience... really testing.... yiu... but this year, we have really sweet papaya, the same kind of sweetness (if not sweeter) than those we can find in KL. It was from Hawaii, and it ain't cheap. Yiu... buy 2 already like C$9. @#$%

SUMMER!!!!! I command you to come and stay, don't come hide come hide and gao gao zhen. Are you listening??!!

狮子座的我

有时候我觉得狮子座的我，在家里更像一个丈夫。

什么螺丝起子screw driver电钻电池类的东西，我比 bui bui 还要厉害。他很体贴，但是他绝不是handyman. 这一点当有事发生的时候，我就很想念我的父亲，他是一个精通家里电器的人。bui bui 呢，如果家里电器坏了，他会先咨询我。如果我也搞不定，那就要找专业人士了。家里的router，电视机，电话，微波炉，heater的操控器的操作和installation都是我一手教bui bui的，我厉害叻？哈哈。

我现在静下来想，可能不是bui bui 不handyman, 而是我狮子座的性格根本没有给他机会发挥。好像搬家要把床dissemble, 再assemble,我就叫他不要乱动。因为他会想到拆什么就拆什么，而我会按照说明书一步一步来的。然后我会发号施令，说拆那个先（还要教他怎么反用那个电钻拆钉子），然后拆这个。他也很配合我，他也懒得看说明书，哈哈，让我当husband :P 有时候他动作慢，我还抢过工具自己来。我的性子太急了！

不管怎么样，bui bui 的脾气真的是很好的。这样也好啦，如果我嫁的是跟我一抹一样的脾气的男人，估计不懂离了几万次婚了。这个是真的！

Skytrain here sucks

在上海住了近5年，地铁发生故障/事故的次数，1个手掌的手指都够数。

这边的skytrain发生事故延误，一个礼拜至少1次！！！！！

真他妈的娘！So stupid!!!!

Huh..... @#$%!

难得可以比准时差15分钟就“早”到，往往就是这种日子，给我弄个大迟到，所以总的来说，我是几乎天天大迟到！（本来只是小迟到）

笨死了

越来越觉得加拿大人的数学很差！真的很呕血...

难怪我大学一年级的Calculus, 闭着眼睛都能拿满分，那些本地人死读死读也只能望个pass.

笨死了！

My old buddy, Samsonite

Finally, we moved out on Saturday. It was a very tiring day, and yet satisfying. The most difficult part is moving the bed and bed frame. huh!!!! Our tall friend's motorbike cannot start, by the time his bike started and came to our place, we already finished moving and half dead. haha... but it was very nice of him to help us sweep the floor of the old apartment:)

We like our new place a lot, quieter, lots of natural sunlights. The only thing we don't like is the carpetted floor, means need to take care of it. Sigh...

In the process of moving, due to lack of communication (Jay moved some stuff while i was working last week), Jay threw away my 1st samsonite carry on luggage. I was very very sad... If he just leave it out side the building, I am sure it could be of use to someone else. But he throw it into the big garbage bin!!! The handle was rosak due to my choh loh usage (i transported books and heavy stuff on this carry on luggage for a few times, if the handle still intact, then it is more scary. haha). Everything is still very good despite my choh loh usage, the clothe not broken, the clothe not even pecah a bit. So, once again proof that Samsonite is a very good brand!!!!! I bought another hardcover (my this old one is soft one) in red color, Samsonite again in last christmas while The Bay was having sales. It was a good buy. I love it. It has 4 wheels so it is easy to spin and to carry. Love it.

I really feel sad because Jay threw it before he can discuss with me. :(( Don't know where is it now leh?? I have lots of travelling memories with it. It was the first carry on luggage I have due to my ex jobs required lots of short trip to Southeast Asia last time. It was perfect for a 3-5 days trip to Singapore too. Sigh.... I didn't get to say goodbye to it:(

Why...........................

Go Canucks Go

Tonight is Game 5 of Stanley Cup Final... so gun cheong... I was not a hockey fans, but following the last few games has turned me into one!!! Vancouver's Canucks vs. Boston's Bruins. Tonight is home game. Last 2 games were a bit disappointed, 1-8 and 0-4. Sigh... I hope they can score the first goal tonight, that will add up to the motivation.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!

Bosses are all hockey fans, so whenever there is a game night, they all ciao at 4pm, and I ciao at 5pm too. Hahaha... But today I will ciao at 4.30pm. I want to be at home with TV when the game starts at 5pm!

Can you imagine how expensive is the ticket? It is $1200 per ticket for tonight, and it is only the Game 5. Imagine if it is a Game 7, I think the ticket will go to $2000. Who says people here are poor??!!

My favorite player is #1 Roberto Luongo. He is the goalie.

Kayaking

I took this photo over the weekend. Jay and I went for a minor hiking at Deep Cove. And I saw so many kayaks there and you can actually sign up for classes.

I so want to learn. But then Jay does not know how to swim.... how leh?:(

It was a beautiful day on Saturday. And I really love this photo I had taken. So colorful, and yet so peaceful :) This photo is now the wallpaper of my iPhone:)

Sold another 2 chairs

We are moving. Our new landlord has so many stuff in his small apartment he "refused" to remove them, so that leaves us less space for our stuff. So, I posted this two chairs up on internet for sale. At first I posted $80. No take. Then I put $60 if take both. Got a girl negotiated $50, what a steep discount (these chairs, if buy from Ikea new, each cost $69.99 + HST tax), but I agreed to it. Then she came back and text me said after checking with her husband, he thinks this chair is too small, so she is going to give it a pass this time. What the @#$%! Don't you check with your husband first before you negotiated a discount? @##$%!

Luckily the same night, another guailow (i think he is russian because his name is Konstantine) emailed me. He didn't even talk about the price, he just said give me the address, I will come pick them up tomorrow. Wow... Love this kind of customer. hahaha... And when he give me the money, he thought it was $70 (because I advsertise if take one is 35, take both is 60, I guess he didn't read the full line). I told him it is $60, but if he wants to give me $70, I don't mind too. hahaha...

So, 2 less junk with us. We really have lots of stuff... I don't know why... I already not buying much stuff over here. Some of the stuff were shipped from Shanghai and we have not removed from the box yet. Can you believe it? haha... Anyway...

Sigh... Very headache lately lah....

My plant

I blogged about my "plant" last August... the only plant I have in vancouver. hahaha. I planted Chives and Chillies.

One year has almost been past, winter came, snow came, sun came, rain came.. I never go out water them or take care of them, I Just put them on the balcony and let them "sendiri makan sendiri". haha...

The chillies cannot survive the winter and snow I guess. It is dead. But the chives... my gosh... it is still alive, and I didn't even know chives flowers are so romantically purple. So nice!!!!

I am moving this weekend... I am still deciding should I bring them over to the new balcony?? If I do, I think I should remove the dead chillies. Hahaha... btw, I have harvested the chillies 3 times over the summer last year. But I have never harvested the chives. Hmm....

HST

Holy Moly, this HST is really getting a pain in my butt!

Buy books only have to pay 5% tax. But magazine is 12% tax???? WTF???!!!

Damn angry at this.

Why am I not a citizen yet? I want to vote next month to ABOLISH HST! Taking so much money from us and do nothing in return. @#$%!

I ain't going to buy another magazine here liao. Too much!

:<

Central Park

The weather is cooperating over the weekend, sunshine, great days!!

We went to have a walk at central park on Saturday. We saw lots of squirrels out, they want us to feed them, but we were not prepared! Jay wanted to trick them by throwing some small rocks at them, I scolded him. He is very bad. haha... He said maybe they will mistaken rocks as peanuts wor... speechless me..

Next day, we went back to the park again. But this time, the hours were later. So perhaps someone fed them already. They don't seem very desperate unlike the previous day. They are lazily walking here and there... now, we holding the peanuts are the desperate ones. This world is so funny. Sigh... anyway, we really have fun feeding the squirrels. And we found out that the crows also fighting the peanuts with squirrels, and we thought they are meat eaters!
