Poll #3: Do you know me?

My 3rd poll has been closed since a few days ago. Someone feedback to me that I've set the opening period for my poll too short. Hehe... looking at my blog's traffic, I think he is right. Thanks for the feedback and I'll improve it. Now, let me write something about the 3rd poll.

Question: Do you know me?
5 out of 7 votes are from those who know me.
The other 2 votes are from someone who do not know me.
Seems like my blogs not only viewed by those who know me. Feel good to know that. ;P

When I was thinking about this question, in fact I asked myself what will I answer to this question. For myself, I might answer "No".

Sound a bit pathetic but I think that will be my answer. Hard to explain why but... this is also the reason why I did not write anything at the "about me" sections. Maybe I am just lazy to think of any suitable description to descript myself.

For those who know me, can you help me know more about me? Hehe...

Grad photos with family taken by using my K850i

As posted in my previous post, I was back in BM to take my graduation photos with my family. We decided to take the photos at France & Taipei at Megamall there. As the shop do not give us soft copy for free and we think it would be not worth it to buy them at such expensive price, we took some photos ourselves at the shop using my K850i (5.0 megapixels).

Final countdown: 15 hrs

Tonight will be the last night I stay in my current unit in Bukit Panjang. Next stop will be at Hougang.

I have been staying here for about one year plus. Although sharing with housemate, we still considered as own the whole unit, as in not staying with the owner. We have our freedom and space over here. Thus, you can imagine, how many things we can have over here with having the freedom to buy anything (as long as we have money) and the space to put all the stuff we bought.

This time round, due to some reason we need to move. As it's a bit hard to find housemate now, we decided to rent a room (to save money). With the help of housing agent, we found this place in Hougang, within 10-15 minutes walking distance from Hougang Mall. It is a common room (as in no attached toilet) and we will need to stay with the owner. This would mean less freedom and less space.

LESS SPACE!!! With all the stuff we have, we have been doing the throwing and packing since last few weeks. This throw, that throw, throw throw throw... We did throw a lot of stuff, but there are still have many bags of clothes, many boxes of comics and CDs as well as some other stuff. It is a tiring process. But it is good to have periodically cleaning.

Now, we almost done with all our packing. Waiting for tomorrow to come and officially move in to the new room we rent. How will everything be? We don't know. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly.

Here, I would like to thank to my cousin who helped me to move some of my stuff today. And for those coming to help tomorrow, thanks in advance.

Poll #2: Are you also a blogger?

Seems like my poll became slightly more popular already.

From the result, it could show a few things:
1. All my readers are blogger. (direct interpretation)
2. Only bloggers read my blog.
3. Only bloggers read blogs.
4. Non-bloggers seldom read blogs.
5. Non-bloggers do not read my blog.
6. Non-bloggers too shy to vote as a non-blogger.
7. ....

Anyone has any other creative ways to interpretate this poll result?

In the mean time, it's time for me to think of the 3rd question.

cough syrup+block nose tablet+phelgm tablet+antibiotic tablet=drownsiness

As you can read from the subject, I fall sick again. In fact, I never fully recovered since April that I also left a post about I fallen sick.

I was so act smart that I didn't take the medicine given by the doctor. Thinking that with a lot of water is sufficient enough.

Yesterday, I can't take it anymore. I went to see doctor and got myself some medicine (all stated in the subject, of course with my one day MC also). After a light breakfast, I became an obedient patient and took all the medicine with correct dosage.

The doctor doesn't lie. He told me that the medicine (cough syrup and block nose tablet) he gave me will cause drownsiness. They really work. After less than half an hour, I felt sleepy and fall asleep very soon. I slept for more than 4 hours, from about 12 sth to about 5 sth.

I wonder am I too tired after a few days trip back in Pg or due to the chemical reaction of the medicine that I slept for so long. However, I would say that I did feel better after the 4-5 hours rest.

Today, I took one set (all medicine except cough syrup) each after taken my breakfast and lunch in office. Since then, the only thing in my mind for whole day is, "I should have taken another day of MC today".

It's totally no fun become "sick cat".

三步一拜

卫塞节当天的大清早，我们一家人就跟随妈妈到槟城慈济的静思堂去。妈妈说慈济那里会举办一个三步一拜的仪式（好像是叫朝三或三朝的）。

5时正，我们抵达静思堂，那里的师姑师伯们给我们鞋袋和指示，比如鞋子该放哪里，我们该站哪里， 该怎么排，念经时该怎么走及怎么拜等等的。

其实，念的经是很简单的几个字，“喃摩本释世家摩呢佛”。脚步和手势也是很简单的，三步一拜，顾名思义就是走三步拜一次。走的路程也是简单的，围绕着静思堂一圈，都是较为干净清洁的路，没有上山下山，更没有大石子脏垃圾等。

听起来好像还蛮容易的，说真的也其实不难。只不过，也没有想象中那么容易。

人多了，要互相配合不简单。一个接一个的，要跟着脚步，不踩到别人，避免离前面的太远却要留足够的距离下跪不容易。

想想平时，以车代步， 绕静思堂一圈不过几分钟的事，即使是普通漫步也不许太多时间。可是这天，我们花了几乎两个小时才能顺利地走完。

从中，我了解了一些事情。人生的道路，不会都是顺利，不过也不会都是不幸。偶尔，我的双膝跪的地方会是平地，但是偶尔会是砖块和砖块之间缝隙。虽然一路难走，而且还要走路下跪的，很多时候都有要放弃完成的念头，但是看着别人坚持的走，激发了自己也要坚持地继续走。就因为这点坚持，我完成了整个仪式， 总算功德圆满。

现在，我的双脚还留有三步一拜的痕迹。双脚酸酸累累的，膝盖还有一些瘀青，但是这些都会过去。

Trip back to Penang

I was back at Penang for the past 3 days (17-19 May 2008) as we have a holiday on Monday (Vesak Day). I took this oportunity to go back home because I miss Penang very much. My last trip back to Pg was during CNY. It seems to be quite long I did not go back. I miss my family, I miss my home, I miss Pg food... and they are all in Penang. (in fact, not all my family member stay in Pg now)

Anyway, I have a list of task I need to do during this trip back home.
1. take grad photo with my family members (you read it correctly, I went back this time to take my graduation photos. Don't misunderstood it, I did graduated last year just did not take the photos till now. Thanks to my sisters, back from KL to take these photos with me. Thanks to my parents also cause they still smiling even though they were very tired. Need to thanks my youngest sister also. I felt good to have spent time with them doing this although the photo price very expensive. However, it would be better if we can have one more person with us. Miss her so much.)
2. vision check (if not wrong, my last check was two years ago.)
3. eat Pg food (yummy.. I waited so long to eat Pg food. I even prepared a list of "must eat food" in my mind. Pg char keow tiao, Pg hokkien mee, Pg wantan mee, Pg cendol, Pg ice kacang, mummy's homemade pig leg in vinegar, Pg laksa, Pg curry mee, Pg jawa mee etc... I managed to eat some of them but not all. Some people might think, "you can find most of them in Sg also ma". To this people, "you are wrong!!!" Sg food are no fight to Pg food. I think most of Penangites who stay here will agree with me.)
4. bring cookies back sg for my colleagues
5. bring some of my stuff back to bm (need to clear some of my stuff, cause need to move again soon.)
6. meet with some of my RC friends

Although I am very tired, not enough sleep, not enough rest throughout the trip, I still felt happy that I went back to BM.

First poll result

I've started a poll one week ago. This poll was opened for a period of one week.

After this one week, I finally got my first poll result.

Poll question: Which language do you prefer? (I mean for my blog)
Option: English, Chinese, Malay , Japanese (these are some of the languages I know)

Deng Deng Deng Deng......

Total number of vote: 3 (thank you the 3 of you very much. in fact, the 1st 2 votes were voted after I forced them to cast their vote. This shows my blog is very low profile.)
Highest vote: English with 2 votes (to thank the 2 of the 3 royal readers, I write this post in English)
2nd highest vote: Chinese
Lowest vote: Malay and Japanese (luckily no one vote for these 2 languages, wonder if I still manage to write a complete passage in these 2 languages)

Now I know, English is prefered. Thus, I'll try my best to write more in English. Hopefully everyone can bare for my poor and "private limited" English.

Since this poll is closed, let me think of another poll question. Suggestions and ideas are welcomed. ;)

静思语

It's HOT!!!!!!!!!

It's very very very extremely super HOT now....
Not mentally "hot" but is the weather.
How long can I stand this hot weather without air-con?

All, please save the earth, save yourself.
Be green.
Always be environmental friendly.

Opps.. since when I became so "green"?
Dunno. Just know that everyone effect count.
A man is a man, no matter how small.

一個人的態度，決定他的高度

心若改變，態度跟著改變；
態度改變，習慣跟著改變；
習慣改變，性格跟著改變；
性格改變，人生跟著改變。

一个人

一个人真的可以作重要的决定吗？重要的程度到哪？
一个人真的可以自己独个儿生存吗？能独个儿多久？
一个人真的可以不理会别人的心意吗？不算自私吗？

一个人真的可以想怎样就怎样吗？
一个人真的可以说了就算吗？
一个人真的可以把所有感受抒发出来吗？
