誰說小靈鹿沒好處!? / Who say Small Little Kancil no use!?

*相片來源:-

*Photo source from:-

我家的小靈鹿(馬來西亞第二小型國產車)就快要陪我度過第四個年頭了﹐家有老馬當然方便啦﹐但當駕駛著它和老爸出外時﹐老爸總是嘮叨地數著它的弱點。最常聽到他說的就是車子這樣小﹐放多一點東西都不行。這一點我有點認同﹐因後車箱太小當放滿東西後, 後坐的逼不得已要捨點位了﹐甚至於有時前坐也需要捨點位﹐您應該可以想像得到吧。

但近期我發現了這小靈鹿的好處﹐可能你聽了也會覺得蠻對的。眾所週知馬來西亞的道路很多都是這裡一個洞那裡一個洞的﹐補了再爛﹐爛了再補﹐補到阿媽都不認得﹐簡直是”面目全非” 。我住這兒就有條路爛得看了都會咋舌﹐大車子經過必定中招﹐必須放慢速度﹐否則進廠的可能性就越來越接近。這條爛路的情況是這樣的﹐整條路兩旁都是洞﹐車子要越過唯一的辦法是從中間越過﹐大車子肯定沒辦法躲避。但我發現這小靈鹿有它的好處﹐因車身小﹐駛過這條路時可過關斬將地躲過這一關。還有﹐當路太窄而前方有車停在路旁時﹐這小靈鹿可從旁邊越過﹐而稍微大一點的車必須等到前方的車駛走後才跟著後尾駛去。

除此之外﹐因我是住廉價公寓﹐停車場是公開的﹐每每想找個停車位都難。尤其是過了晚上十點﹐別妄想停放車輛對准自家的樓下﹐兜多兩圈如果找到停車位的話﹐都算你幸運﹐偷笑都來不及。就在上個月﹐當我跟朋友喝茶後回家已很晚了﹐想找個停車位都難。突然我看見不遠處好像有個停車位但排在我前面的車已有兩三輛了﹐我心想這次糟了﹐這車位應該不會屬於我的了。但看著前方的車輛打了訊號燈後又不轉進去﹐讓我摸不著頭腦。當我駛到那停車位時﹐我終於明白了。原來那車位有街燈柱在後面﹐車子太長停放不到﹐而我這小靈鹿沒兩下就塞了進去﹐算是幸運。這就是小靈鹿的好處﹐暫時想到這裡﹐找到好處再寫寫吧。

My SLK - “Small Little Kancil” (a small car manufactured in Malaysia) going to celebrate the 4th anniversary with me soon. Of course it is convenient for me & family to having a car, but when I drive the SLK went out together with Dad he will always point out the weaknesses of the car. He always said the car is too small, can’t even put more things inside. Of course I agreed with this point, because the boot is too small. After the boot keep things till full then the back sit have to leave some space for keep things. Sometimes the front sit also have to do so, I thing you can imagine how “big” the SLK is.

But recently I found that the SLK have it pros, maybe you will agree with what I telling here too. As what we know most of the roads in Malaysia is badly damages, having holes everywhere. One of the roads in my area here is badly damage too, both sides of the road full with holes. If big car drive over sure will hit the holes, the only way to safely pass through is drive in the middle of the road. But for standard or big cars, it sure can’t escape the whole. My SLK have it pros, car size is small & when passing by the road can drive in the middle of the road without hit the holes. One more thing, if the road is small & there is a car stop beside the road in front of your car for a moment then the SLK can just pass over from the side of the car without waiting. For a standard or big cars it might not do that.

Beside these, I’m living at low cost apartment & it’s very difficult for me to have a parking space especially after 10p.m because is an open car park. If found a parking space after 10p.m, it’s consider very lucky. Last month went out late with friends and when I reached at the car park ready for park my car but found no parking space. Later on I found there is a parking space just few steps in front of me but I thought it wasn’t my luck cause in front of my car few cars was queuing. What surprised me was when all the cars in front of me just show signal to turn in but not turn into the parking space, finally I understand why they left the parking space. There was a lamppost behind the parking space and all the cars in front of me is big enough & not able to fit into the parking space. But for my SLK, it just took few seconds to park into the space cause SLK is a small car that just required little space. It considered lucky for me on that night. That’s the pros of SLK, will continue the post when I found new pros of SLK.

紅包 / Red Packet

年已過﹐還是要寫寫關於紅包。紅包﹐又稱為壓歲錢﹐中國南方或香港人稱它為利市(即”利是”或”利事”的意思) 。最常收到紅包時是農曆新年﹐婚禮時也會派上用場。

每逢農曆新年﹐第一個收到的大紅包一定會來自老爸和老娘。我和小妹有個習慣﹐除夕收到雙親的紅包後一定會將它收藏到枕頭下﹐這才叫做”壓歲錢” 嘛! (壓歲錢其實是來自一個故事﹐如果您有讀過的話應該會知道)。還有還有﹐所有收到的紅包一定會等到過了元宵後才會開封﹐數數總共的數目。

我發現有些小孩現在有點不懂禮﹐有些會討了紅包後直接打開﹐老爸和老娘有嚴厲的吩咐我們不可這樣做﹐所以到現在我還牢牢地記住這番話。其實就算長輩沒吩咐我們也該知道不該這樣做吧。今年拿的紅包跟去年一樣不多﹐在社會打拼了三年多後慢慢地感覺到其實紅包只是長輩給晚輩一個意頭而已﹐裡面多不多不重要。

聽人家說﹐包紅包也是一門學問﹐紅包裡頭的數字要是雙數代表好與吉祥﹐如果單數代表喪事﹐要記住這一點喔。



Chinese New Year has passed, but I will post up something about Red Packet. Red packet or so called “Hung Bao”, South China or Hong Kong’s peoples named it as “Li Shi” or “Lei Si” means good luck or good. Most of the time will receive red packet at Chinese New Year, but it also for wedding.

For every Chinese New Year, the first red packet sure will receive from Mom & Dad. After received the red packet, sister & me will keep it under the pillow. This is our habit and the red packet that keep under the pillow in Mandarin called as “Ya Sui Qian” (there is a story why should keep the red packet under the pillow, if you has been read the story then you should know it). Beside this, we will only count the entire red packets amount after the Chap Goh Mei (the 15th day of CNY, also the last day of CNY).

I found that some of the children lack of courtesy, once they received the red packet they will straight away open the packet have a look on it. Mom & Dad has been warn us not to do that in front of others, till now what they told me still keep in my mind. But even without their warn, we should know that earlier. The amount received for this year is almost same as last year (not much). After work for 3 and half years, slowly I realised that the amount in the red packet is not so important whether it is little or a lot. The important thing is it’s just a gift from the elder to the young one from their heart.

One more important thing that you should know when you give red packets, the amount in the red packet should be “even” number cause it stands for luck or good. If there is “odd” number, it brings the meaning of funeral. So must remember this.

月蝕 / Eclipse

農曆正月十五剛過﹐趁著農曆新年的最後一天﹐月蝕悄悄地拜訪了地球。

話說有個傻瓜﹐鬧鐘調好至凌晨四點十五分﹐當鬧鐘響後立刻飛奔到走廊﹐面朝西方望去。只見西方的月亮還圓圓的掛在空中。傻瓜繼續的再等﹐相機和相機腳都已經擺好了。等呀等的。。。過了不久﹐傻瓜慢慢地看見了月蝕的蹤跡﹐興奮無比。當開始拍下月蝕的過程時﹐望望相機裡所拍出來的根本就看不出是月蝕。試試調一調相機裡的設定﹐還是搞不好。搞了老半天很想放棄﹐就在放棄之前﹐突然給哪傻瓜調到了他要的設定﹐終於拍到了月蝕﹐讓他興奮無比。


在月蝕進行時﹐不止哪傻瓜一人在看﹐原來傻瓜的其他家中成員也陪他一齊傻傻地看月蝕。講到這裡﹐您應該知道哪傻瓜是誰吧? 哈哈。真的是好久沒看過月蝕了﹐如果您錯過了這次的月蝕﹐您可要等到八月二十八日了﹐但那時不知馬來西亞可看到嗎。拭目以待吧!






















































































Chinese New Year has passed; the Eclipse has visited the world on the last day of Chinese New Year.

There is an idiot had set the alarm clock to 4:15am; once the alarm clock ring he quickly went out to the corridor and face over to the West side of the sky. What he saw was just the big moon with the round shape hanging on the sky. The camera & the tripod already set up, the idiot continue wait at the corridor. Wait and wait… time has passed so fast; the idiot felt really happy cause finally he saw the eclipse has started. At the beginning of the photo session, he found that all the photos that he snapped just now none of that look like Eclipse. He tried to change the settings of the camera but fail. He had make decision to give up, but end up he successful changed the settings of the camera. The idiot successfully snapped the process of the eclipse.

When the whole process of eclipse happened, is not only the idiot alone watching but his whole family was joined in. At this point you should know who is the idiot right? Haha. Has been long time never watching the Eclipse; if you missed out this Eclipse then you have to wait until 28th of August. But the problem is not sure whether it happens at Malaysia or not. Anyway, good luck to you people!

過關斬將... / Escaped & escaped...

年初三﹐上了霹靂州姑姑的家拜年。今年感覺比較幸運﹐沒親戚問我是否找到了女朋友﹑幾時會帶女朋友回來等等的問題。在過去的幾年裡﹐親戚們都會問我是否已找到心愛對相或是年紀都大了為何不找個伴侶﹐要我怎樣回答呢? 相信還是單身二﹑三十出頭的你﹐一定和我一樣有過類似的經驗吧! 對嗎? 今年算幸運﹐過關斬將。嗨。。。一切隨緣吧﹐如果緣份要來的話﹐擋也擋不住咧! 可能我的桃花運就在今年咧﹐哈哈!

Day 3 of Chinese New Year went to Perak for a CNY open house at my auntie’s house. This year is luckier, no relatives asked me whether having any girl friend or not. For the passed few years, most of them will asked me the same questions or they will said my age is growing why still single or why not find a girl friend. All the questions repeated & repeated again, how am I going to answer them? I believe those who still single & the age is 20 or 30 plus will face the same situation like me! Right? This year consider lucky, escaped from all this questions. Haiii… just take it easy, everything is fine. If the fate is coming, no matter how you escape she or he will still be yours. Right? Maybe my love one is on the way to meet up with me by year, haha!

年初二﹐聚一聚 [二] / CNY Day 2, Gathering [2]

年初二﹐上了姑姑家拜年。四五個家庭聚在一起﹐熱鬧得很。大人小孩有說有笑﹐小的已長大了﹐大的也長大了(老了) 。時間過得真快﹐一年的時間又過去了﹐看看長輩們的臉上都長多了幾條皺紋﹐有點為他們擔心。尤其是父母﹐年齡接近六十了﹐臉上的皺紋越來越多﹐感覺上還是要多多的照顧他們。在外地工作的游子們呀﹐有時間的話要多多回家和父母聚一聚﹐正所謂王维詩中的”每逢佳節倍思亲 ” 說得一點也不錯。游子們﹐相信您還趕得上這班列車﹐行動要快!

~~独在异乡为异客,每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高处,遍插茱萸少一人。~~



Day 2 of Chinese New Year had a visit to my aunty's house. Four to five families gathered around, is really excited. All of us chit chat around, looking at the kids from previously a small size growing to big size. While for elders, from old continue growing older. Time passed extremely fast, one year has passed. Looking at the elder’s face found a lot of wrinkles; feel worry with them especially Mom and Dad cause their age nearly 60. Their face gets more & more wrinkles; feel has the responsibility to take care of them. For those who working at out station, try to take more time to gather with your family especially your Mom and Dad because they need your care. As what Chinese poetry said, “
Mei Feng Jia Jie Bei Si Qing” mean at every festival will remember family members. So for those who working at outstation, I believe you still able to “catch up this train” gather with your family. Act now!

"重要的任務" / “Important Mission”

年三十晚的中午﹐除了忙家事外﹐還有一件很"重要的任務"。一群不幸且無辜的孤兒在盼望著眾人的到來﹐他們沒親人與他們一起過新年。我和小妹趁著佳節的到來﹐集約的來到座落在八打靈的孤兒院 (Precious Children Home) 為他們送上衣服。送上衣服之余﹐還派送紅包和捐款給孤兒們。原來第一次派紅包的感覺是這樣的﹐哈哈。望著他們可憐的樣子﹐我在想我是比他們幸福一百倍。看看他們的樣子似乎比我還要堅強﹐還要獨立。老的一句﹐還是希望他們能夠活得和諧﹑幸福與快樂。在新的一年﹐祝他們新年快樂﹐身體健康﹐萬事如意!

Chinese New Year Eve except busy with my messy room, there is another “important mission” in scheduled. A group of orphans is waiting for the visit from visitors; they do not have relatives celebrating Chinese New Year with them. Sister and me did a visited to the Orphan home (Precious Children Home) located at Petaling Jaya. We did donate some clothes to them, and also gave them red packets & funds. This is the first time I gave out the red packets, can feel the Chinese New Year mood… haha. Looking at their poor face, I feel that I’m 100 times luckiest than them. Through their face, I feel they are stronger and independent than me. Anyway, the most important thing is hope they can live in happy & harmony. In this brand new year, wishing all the orphans having a Happy & Healthy Chinese New Year!

除夕﹐忙! / Chinese New Year Eve, busy!

除夕﹐是最忙的一天。早上陪著父母到市場買菜﹐回到家收拾”殘局”(我的房間) 。過後再陪父母到超級市場進行”掃蕩行動”, 回家後繼續收拾”殘局” 。那天真的很累﹐只因早上已開始感到不舒服﹐加上忙這忙那﹐晚上到八點多” 殘局” 才被我收拾完畢。最終九點多雙眼還是支撐不住﹐不聽使喚的睡著了。十一點多起來後﹐觀賞電視新年特備節目﹐然後準備幫母親拜神。拜拜後﹐繼續觀賞電視新年特備節目。就這樣﹐從年三十晚跨越到年初一﹐結束了舊的一年﹐開始了新的一年。

Chinese New Year Eve, a day that is the most busy for me. Morning went to market with parents bought some foods, and then back to home cleaned up my messy room. After that went to supermarket with parents again to bought some goods, and then back to home to continued my “mission”. New Year Eve really feel tired, is cause by morning feel little bit of sick & some more busy cleaned up my messy room until 8pm. 9pm both of my eyes half-closed, end up sleeping is my best choice. Woke up at 11pm, watch some New Year Special TV programmes. After 12am, we have the praying ceremony. We prayed together with mom & dad. After the ceremony, we continued watch the TV programmes. Time passed so fast, from the New Year eve passed to the day 1 of Chinese New Year. End with the “old” year, and began with the brand New Year.

請三思! / Please think before you act!

有個地方﹐在公司最不想去的﹐那就是廁所。每次進廁所時﹐總會嗅到很濃的尿味。最沒頂的就是職員用廁所當成吸煙房﹐進到廁所肯定會吸到煙﹐讓我成了二手煙民﹐他們還有公德心嗎? 有時不止在公司的廁所發生這種事﹐在其他廣場的廁所也會吸到二手煙﹐煙民啊請問問自己是否對得起自己的良心嗎? 對得起其他受害者嗎? 請你們三思吧!

One of the places at office that I most don’t like to go is the toilet, every time when I entering to the toilet sure will smell the strong urine smell. The worst thing that I can’t stand any more is the staffs use the toilet as a smoking area and I become the second hand smoker. Do they still consider what are they doing? Sometime the situation is not only happening at company’s toilet, it happening at shopping mall’s toilet too. Please ask yourself whether you still got the heart or not? Do this people make consideration for the second hand smoker? Please think before you act!
