Family bond

Oh well, this is something that I wanna say it out for long.
I know its not so good to talk about all these here.
But this is the place for me to speak out loud. It's like a little diary of my life journey.

We are having a very complicated situation here.
5 people in the family but in 4 different cities.
Mom in Bangkok, brother in KL, I'm in Perth, while dad and sis are in Penang.
Gosh! it may sounds a bit cool but it's not cool at all when come to decision making
We have to communicate through email, cc to so many ppl.
It's hard to speak on skype when Thai time was an hour later than M'sia and Perth.
When they finished their dinner and settle down, its my time to sleep.
And it's not everyone can be available at the same time. have to make a day appointment.

So it could cause alot of confusion and mis-communication everytime when comes to big discussion.
Walaooooo ehhhhh. Life is so complicated.

Enough of complain. Life goes on. I need to stay on battle.

Cheers!

Shoes Shopaholic

I suffered this sickness for long time and it seems to get worse now.

Having 17 pairs of shoes when you are still staying in hostel is crazy. 

I told myself stop buying them or before end of this year 2013. It gonna hit 20!

Oh well~ after a tough week of long working hours, finally managed to get some time for myself for a walk in city and harbour town. 

Never ever leave a girl away from shopping for too long. Once she gets out there, she is crazy.

That's how my shoes no.18 & 19 join the team. I am not a big fan of sneakers. But I just feel like having it when I saw this Converse grey-pink sneakers. 

Classic design which i like a lot!

I know I need a pair of new shoes for work. I need good support for the long hours of standing and walking.

Eye-catching shoes spotted! Its a crazy color for work. I don't care. I just love it!

Work hard and shop hard. :D

My new room

After all the messy problems and fuss, I got myself moved into a new room in Guild House
Still staying on campus which is very lucky for me.
This last minute decision to do my postgraduate study makes my life a bit of mess.
Plan changed and need to sort everything out.
But anyway, at least accommodation settled.

And everyone can call me as house-moving pro.
This is the 4th move in 1 year. I have my tricks and tips on packing. :D
Thank god I survived through a super tough week with 45 hours of work and the house moving.
I'm strong mentally and physically!!

Urmm. I actually got a larger room than the previous one with cheaper rent.
Despite the old and not so smart furnitures, it has a really big space.

In my flat, there is 2 single rooms and 2 couple rooms.
It's abit weird staying with 2 couples.
I can hear one couple quarreling in the past 2 days. Oppsss
Hopefully no fighting.

Cheers!

分手有理

不喜欢突如其来的消息
尤其是坏消息

一段快六年的爱情结束了
他们在一起的时间
长久到我也数不清有多少年
只记得他们在一起，好久好久

分手的理由是
女方觉得这爱情没火花
这男人，脾气超好，千依百顺
可是，她更需要一个可以稍微吵闹，有个性的他

所以爱情啊~
应该要安安稳稳的走下去
还是，要打打闹闹一辈子
我不懂爱情，一直都是这样。

只要她想清楚，聆听了自己内心的声音
她选择分手的决定，我一定给予支持

我担心的是
以后，某年某月回想起这个决定，她是否会后悔

我想我可以做的
就是祝福她
希望她可以得到最大的幸福

我有我说 — 爱情的绊脚石

反反复复的登陆帐号
脑海里有很多东西在转
我知道我需要把它发放出来
我知道写在这儿是唯一管道

在面子书发了最新的状态 ：

 “ 距离，国籍，年龄，身高，体重 都不应该是爱情的绊脚石 ”

我想信这想法，每个人都认同的

毕竟，这个世界上什么都有可能发生

来到的澳洲，我才恍然发现

这地方是个联合国

到处都回看到不同国籍的人

不管是旅客，还是居民

这几天，走在街上看着形形色色的人

路上的情侣，更是令我惊艳

看到了高大的洋人，配上了非常较小的亚洲人

纤瘦的男人，搂着福气满满的爱人

年纪更不用说，再普遍不过

当然还有那不同的国籍

深深触动我的思绪

正因为我在餐厅打工

跟客人有很多互动

最常有的话题就是

“你是哪里人？”

这时候，可以发现很多的伴侣都是来自不同的国家背景

比如说，

老公是中国人，老婆是马来西亚人 ；

老公是新加坡人，老婆是马来西亚人

在这陌生的土地，相识相爱

所以，我说在这无国际的世界

没有什么是不可能

特别是爱情。♥

Meatless Monday

I always have a thought to switch to vegetarian
But how can I do it when I am a meat lover.
Eventually, found out that there was such campaign from my fav DJ on radio last week.
Just take a day off from meat. One day with no meat will not kill me.

Since exam is over, I can properly manage my diet.
And so I decided to go on this plan starting from this week.
Every Monday gonna be Meat-Free.

Why Meatless?

1. Reduce risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity.
   - Everyone knows that having too much meat is bad for your body.
   
2. Reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.
   
   Facts: 
   - The meat industry generates nearly one-fifth of the man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are accelerating climate change worldwide.
   
   - The water needs of livestock are tremendous, far above those of vegetables or grains. An estimated 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water go into a single pound of beef. Soy tofu produced in California requires 220 gallons of water per pound.
   
   - On average, about 40 calories of fossil fuel energy go into every calorie of feed lot beef in the U.S. Compare this to the 2.2 calories of fossil fuel energy needed to produce one calorie of plant-based protein. Moderating meat consumption is a great way to cut fossil fuel demand.

Why Monday?

Monday is typically the beginning of the work week, the day when individuals settle back into their weekly routine. Unhealthy habits that prevailed over the weekend can be forgotten and replaced by positive choices. A weekly reminder to restart healthy habits also encourages success.

My thoughts: 

At first I was thinking what should I eat being a vegetarian on this day. Other than cooking vege at home, what can I eat when I dine out. Actually there is lots of choices out there. I can have salads, vege sandwich, vegetarian sushi, tofu dishes. Easy bitsy. 

Week 1: 

 Sze Min's Karaage Tofu Curry

 My Agedashi Tofu

My dinner : Sweet beancurd and seaweed sushi roll

Gonna keep this going. Hopefully for the rest of my life. :)

我有我说 — 寻找篇

" 现在找男人就好像找parking lot。 好的都已经给人park去了, 

剩下的寥寥无几，就只有继续绕啊绕。

希望可以找个好的位子。"

* 前半段取自于一个已经找到很好Parking Lot 的女子

爱情啊~ 
总是寻寻觅觅
没有什么事可以从天上掉下来的

两性的相吸
全自于魅力和缘分的结合
就算一方很有魅力
也需要那一份缘
才可以把两个人拉在一起

所谓的Parking lot.
也许缘分
The right timing and the right place
有些人喜欢把车停在靠近电梯或商场入口处
那就不需要走那么远 ； 
有些人喜欢把车停在靠近出口处
离开时，就不用兜兜转转找出口
这东西啊
都是在于个人喜爱和选择

至于还没有找到Parking Lot 的呢
就别急吧
Just not the right timing.
耐心的等待
肯定会有个空位让你填满它
或者，等待之余，想想自己是更喜欢把车停在什么位子吧

:D

p/s: 今早在面子书上看到一句话
 “有一些人常高谈爱情论，可是他却依然单身”

这可是深深的插了一刀。

终于又过了一关

结束了Degree生涯的最后一个考试

不过，这种考验还没结束

还有那1.5年的 Master 学习生涯

祝我好运！

既然假期开始了

又是我重获新生的时候

努力打工之余

好好的自我增值吧！
