No Plastic Day

Penang is practicing no plastic day on every Monday since July. Hypermarket and super market will not give the plastic bag for free. Start from next year, the practice will increase to 3 days. This is a good move to save our environment. Nowadays, I can see more consumers bring the reusable bag when go for shopping. More and more consumers bring own container when order food for take away. One concern is, I am getting more reusable bags. I got 3 bags within 2 months, as gift of company events. :P

Cough Getting Serious

I went to clinic again. Cough getting serious. Today having call with counterpart in US, talked for 2 hours. Talk too much, plus the cold and dry environment in office. More medicine to take, extra antibiotic in prescription. Sigh.. Time to take medicine!! I kept myself very quiet yesterday, felt better and went for celebration buffet dinner, seems fine. Tomorrow I will try to put myself in silent mode.

Very Rare Occasion - Sick Leave

Woke up with bad sore throat. The pain happened the day before, I thought taking Strepsils will relief it and won't make it serious, and I was wrong. Prepared myself to office, will drop by clinic before go to office. Told doctor my symptoms, before he started to exam me, he already decided to give me MC, a day off. Oh?! I do not expect to take MC. Maybe my voice sounded hoarse, made me looks very sick. He took my temperature, exam my swell throat, then confirmed that I need to rest for a day. Sore throat + cough + fever, 3-in-1. Temperature reading yet to hit fever level, but I had the symptom, better be precaution, doctor included the pill for fever in my prescription. Bought my brunch on the way back, after took medicine, fell sleep. Doctor gave me cough pill, instead of syrup, cause it won't cause me asleep. But, when I took 3 types of pill together, I still felt very sleepy. Sleep for couple of hours, awoke by the noise. Someone drilling the wall, guess there ...

Enjoy The Loneliness

Weekend. At home. In my room. Alone. Alone at gym. Watching movie alone. Eating alone. Reading alone. Talking alone. (Not really alone, I talk to my bear bear. :P ) Listen to nice song on radio. The classical song that accompanied me during school time. Recently, I spend my weekend like this. Lonely? Not really, I enjoy it. A good time for me to take a rest. Very very tired during the period when rushing for project due date. Although project completed, I have to clear those pending assignments. As an employee, work will never finish. I am very tired of work, or maybe I lost the passion. On the other thought, the passion gone long time ago!! I work for wages, to pay my expenses, to pay the debts, to pay for vacations... Vacation... where will be my next destination? Lots of places I wanted to go. Anyone with me? Or maybe one day, I will go for a trip alone, enjoy the loneliness, enjoy the peaceful in mind. The trips that I had previously, were not a pleasant trips. I...

Decision Changed

The scenario: Need to submit the form for Project A? The answer I got in week 1: "No need." After 2 weeks: "Yes, need to submit." Another week later: "Yes, need to submit, but submit to Project B, not Project A." The scenario never change, but the decision changed every time I asked for confirmation. No wonder I can not finish my work!!

立冬进补

周六是立冬之日,妈妈说是进补的佳日,把我叫回老家了。我问为什么?是老人家说的,所以跟咯。 妈煮了一大锅的十全补汤,我一看就皱眉,非常油腻!!用了一只大肥鸭来熬汤。尽量去掉漂浮在汤上的油层,才把一大碗汤喝完。一天下来,喝了两大碗。结果叻。。。半夜肚子抗议了,把我弄醒了,感觉到油腻腻的液体在胃里打滚。隔天醒来,疲累不堪,一个早上,我瞌睡了两、三次。发热,看来我是不宜进补吧。 所谓老人家说。。。以前老人家住在中国,有四季之分,才会在立冬进补暖身吧。我们现在可是在一年如夏的热带国家,这一套行不通了吧?

Lively Evening @ Park

I was jogging at the park this evening. Sunday, the park was so lively. Lots of people everywhere. Family, teenager groups, couples, kids, youngsters and elderly. Some are here to spend time with family, some are here to practice football, some are cycling, jogging, chit chatting, badminton, basketball and sweating. :D Kids running here and there at the playground with laughter. I love this park, big, green, breezy, lively!! It is lively in the morning as well, got few groups of people having tai chi, qi kong and etc.. Oh ya.. u can hear lots of gossip too. :P
