CNY Cultural & Heritage Celebration 2009 (己丑旺牛迎新春街头庙会大团拜) held on 7th day of CNY. Buddy and I was there around 7pm, wow.. so many people, crowded. This year, the area been setup according to Chinese 5 main native places: Hakka City, Hokkien City, Canton City, Hainan City and Teochew City. This was different theme from year 2008 carnival, they setup according to Chinese event, eg: cheng ming, mid-autumn...

I came to Hakka City first. I am Hakka, the exhibition did provide lots of Hakka cultural detail, regarding the events, foods, buildings and celebrities too.. hee...
When came to Hainan City, there were lots of tradition recipes, I snapshot most of them, for my mum reference. She is Hainan, but seldom cooks those dishes. :P

Many exhibitions and performances, foods, and fireworks at mid night, but we did not stay till that late.

We left around 9.30pm, having dinner at Carnavon Street, the famous Hokkien Char, at Kedai Kopi Hwa Lam. The noodle is served in a bowl, they very generous with the gravy though. The noodle in dark gravy not looks like tasty at first sight. Hey, don't be fool by its outlook. After you added the vinegar and sambal, its become really good, sourish and spicy. The sambal not very spicy, but I am sweating like nobody business, maybe the noodle still hot. Buddy teased me, said I put too much sambal. Well, you can top up the vinegar and sambal as much as you like, so, I mixed them to fulfill my taste bud and end up I was sweating wet. :P

Waiting for Specialist

I had a follow up medical check up of my thyroid symptom. The blood report is good. :) Previous visit to the hospital, I had spent 5 hours there for doctor consultation. This time break the record, 6 hours!!! I was in the hospital at 7.30am. The registration was started at 7am, I thought I was pretty earlier, but after I got my number, the registrar told me, my estimated time of consultation was 11:55am... oh no, have to wait so long... again???!!! Sigh... I went to their cafeteria to have breakfast. They serve vegetarian food only. I had porridge and soya bean milk, light breakfast, so that I won't fill too stuffy when sit and waiting. Read newspaper to pass my time. Buddy called me at 10.30am... haha.. just about time, I was so bored, we went for Lor Mee at Burmah Road, inside Kedai Kopi Hai Beng . The serving was fast, within 3 minutes after order. :P Or maybe at that moment, not many customer. Buddy was very tempted to try this Lor Mee few weeks ago, finally we had it. You can...

Why I always have endless tasks on hands? One haven't done, boss assigned another one. And the next day, assigned a new task again, seems like he forgot I still have non completed assignment. :( Oh ya hor.. He recalled, "never mind, that one can wait, do this first." Oh oh.. I hate that excuse. Wait wait wait... eventually, I need to complete them somehow. The longer the time, the more tasks accumulate. He never consider how many effort I needed to complete the task, always think I can do magic, all task can be completed by fingers click. I extended my working hours, try to complete the assignment by the end of the day. Everyday, I will have to deal with many unexpected issues, if I do not solve them within a day, the next day might have new issues, and next and next.... arghhhhh.... headache.... I am so tired, I feel so weak, mentally and emotionally weak. Recently, people around me keep on telling me that I look so pale. I think I really look terrible. I know...

太委屈

工作受委屈了，心情低落到谷底。在办公室强忍着泪水，把手头上的案子都处理好后，已经快九点钟了。开着车，终于崩溃了，一路哭着回家，一直哭到深夜。没好睡，隔天起身，心情还无法平复。回老家的路上，泪水还是断断续续的。一朝得志，就忘恩忘本。上司曾经走过我现在这个阶段的路，但他似乎已经忘了这工作程序，竟然质疑我的能力，认为我不尽责。火爆了，别人可能不了解，但他是过来人，竟然不了解我的工作制度！！！我不知道我还可以撑多久。。。回老家，有家人在身边，感觉好多了。虽然，我不会对父母提起工作的委屈，但，有家人在身边，我不会觉得孤独。
