拉了两天肚子

吃了两天兰卡餐,回到科伦坡后有些水土不服,吃饭都没胃口了,好像肚子进了风.然后又拉肚子.怀疑是那天回家路上吃了一些不卫生的食物.唉,真没办法,我的同事老是嫌外面的食物贵,其实我觉得蛮便宜了,我真的不在意价格,最重要是卫生.这下被搞死了. 下周有位中方同事想跟我们一行,到时候我看能不能我"吃自己"算了.自己觅食去!

Day 3 - 车祸惊魂

离开了Sigiriya以后,我们准备赶回科伦坡,我们预计8点多可以抵达目的地,同事也打电话回家准备回家吃晚饭.在大约六点钟时我们经过了车祸现场...
当时一辆载满Caltex Coolant的货车从我们右面驶过,货车的A柱已经毁形了,绿色的冷冻剂从毁坏的容器滴在地上,一些Coolant容器也散落在地上,整辆车给人的感觉就好像一个人在负伤而逃.当时我还说,这种情况肯定会有人趁机会把路上的Coolant捡回家.我们放慢速度,继续往前开不到几秒钟,看见一辆巴士的右边严重撞毁,一些乘客还争着一个一个一个的跳下那辆巴士.我们放下速度看了一眼,我回头看时还看见该司机趴在驾驶盘上,看来不省人事了. 我想,我们应该在车祸发生后的一分钟经过现场的.
同事犹豫了一下,问我是否应该停下来帮忙.当时我也犹豫了一秒,不知道如果抬了一个血淋淋的人进来,弄脏这辆车,肯定供应商会把我们骂死,第二秒钟我同事说:"我看会有人来的".我又想了一下,如果我们不下车认为后面有人会来协助的话,肯定后面的人也会猜想后面有人会协助的.于是做了一个决定,"停车吧!看有什么事我们可以帮的."
我们把车停在现场大约不到100m吧,我的同事边跑去现场查看什么事,我留在车附近守着,当时可以看见有好几辆车也停下来了.大约一分钟,他把一个大约14-15岁昏迷了的女孩抱着过来了,我赶快把车门打开.女孩上车以后,她的家属也跑过来了.她的父亲母亲还有两个小孩,我们叫他们赶紧上车.不到一分钟时间,两个青年又带着另一个伤者过来,好像脚受伤了.我们索性也把他搞进车里,我们的Corolla车子后面一共挤了4个成人还有两个小孩.
我同事踏足油门马上前往医院去... 他神色紧张,我也一样,女孩的母亲急得快哭了,脚受伤的人在后面呻吟着,我当时也不知道他的脚伤得怎样.只能安抚我们的司机别紧张,小心开车,车身现在很重,容易失控,不然伤者就不只两个了.他之后也镇定下来,放慢一点开.我叫同事问后面的人, 看那位女孩是否有呼吸,他们说"有",那么至少没问题,估计那女孩可能是半昏过去了.
大约15分钟,我们抵达了医院,我同事和女孩的母亲把女孩抬进去,医护人员也把脚受伤的扶进医院.当时我才看见原来他的脚后面流血了.估计是被巴士车身的铁皮刮伤.我们车后所幸铺了一些报纸,所以车后遗留下的血迹不多,我用报纸随便擦一下,然后进去里面找个垃圾桶丢垃圾. 发现政府医院里面非常破,像是五十年代的医院...
伤者送进去后,我们也功成身退.我同事说今天我们做了件好事,我点头认同,我还打趣地说,他们全进去以后都不理我们了,也没说谢谢,我们好像透明了似的...呵呵,当然也没有期望他们会道谢,我们只是尽我们能力,送他们一程到医院.之后我们在路上也看见两宗车祸,一辆车撞进河流,还有一个是巴士撞轿车.兰卡的巴士开车都很乱来,同事告诉我说两年前还发生巴士超车撞火车的事件,造成好几十个人死亡,司机没有事情,但法官一怒之下判了司机终身监禁.
当晚我们又遇到修路,我真搞不懂他们,干嘛选在晚上七点半修路呢?交通那么繁忙,要修不能等半夜车子比较少的时候修吗?结果搞到我们整十一点才到家...

Going Home

我们在斯里兰卡的狮子山花了两个小时多一点后才离开...在山脚下遇到一个兜售"魔术盒"的人,用一千卢比买了他的木雕盒, 一个内有乾坤的木雕盒...
时间已经是四点半,我们得赶紧撤,准备回去科伦坡.



On the top of Lion Mountain







终于上了山顶

到达了顶峰以后,可以看见一望无际的森林,可见斯里兰卡对自然生态的保护还是做得蛮好的.









从悬崖壁上看入口处

悬崖壁上有些黄蜂窝,下图没有,之前拍的一些照片发生一些技术上的问题,记忆卡没保存到,所以没法和大家共享.









The Lion Paws

如果爬Sigiriya Lion Mountain, 当你看见这狮子门时,那就意味着你已经完成一半的路程,据说以前是可以看到狮子头的,狮子头是皇宫的入口处.










Mirror Wall

图下的墙壁称作"Mirror Wall", 由于墙面非常猾,据说一些诗人用当地语言在墙上刻了一些歌曲,诗句之类的文学作品,另外,也掺杂了一些"现代诗人的作品",什么"我爱xxx","xxx到此一游".墙壁已经围起来了.
一路上的风非常大,感觉到好像有人在推我一把似的.






石壁上的裸女II

站在石壁上健的铁架看这些石壁画其实会有些心惊胆跳的,因为风非常地大,这些鉄架有些也开始生锈,望着脚下会很恐怖,所以我也不敢站得太久.几个工人坐在那里,正在进行铁架维修工作,让我进来看这些壁画.








石壁上的裸女

据说石壁上的裸女是国王的500后宫佳丽之一









登石前留影

登石前留影...台阶非常斜,爬起来还是会有些吃力的...





The Miniature Water Garden








The Inner Moat

通往Sigiriya周围的护城河,据说以前河里养了鳄鱼,所以要过去对面还真不容易,河对面是树林可以给弓箭手提供保护,让他们放箭,射向要过河的敌人.

终于可以旧地重游,这次我再次回到了我想要再来的地方,付了20美元门票,终于可以到这号称77大世界奇迹之一的"狮子石"看看!

Day 3 - Water Range 酒店

我们在Anuradhapura住的Water Range 酒店外观







早上起来在酒店四处走走,同事出去城里看医生了(腰骨疼),和前台唯一的"经理兼Waiter兼清洁员工"打了个招呼,叫他准备早餐.他于是跑去后院找那位"警卫兼园丁兼厨师"去准备早餐.我开玩笑地说你们这里都身兼多职.哈哈!
屋里外的风非常凉快,这里比较偏远,看见一些拿着机枪的士兵从门口经过,一个接一个的,像是要到前方的战场似的...我问那位前台经理,你们酒店为何没有电视?他说有,带我到一个电视房去,里面排了一些椅子排排坐,就像电影里面的那些精神病院的房间,中间放了一部电视,一些精神比较好的会坐在电视前看电视.我跟那位经理开玩笑,说我的电脑屏幕也比你这个电视大.他看着我,笑了一笑.我叫他开一开电视机,准备做一个测试,结果不出所料,电视收不到电视台.我问他如果有电视机但收不到电台,跟没有是一样的.
后来得知这间酒店的老板是一位退休的陆军上校,估计没搞过酒店生意吧...
同事回来后我们便到食堂里面坐着等早餐,里面的苍蝇非常多,随便用报纸也拍死了7只苍蝇,有一只苍蝇还掉进了我的饮料,在那里泡了一秒钟才飞出来,弄得我整杯饮料都不敢喝了...
吃饱后给酒店老板打了个电话,没想到这位"上校"的英文还真不赖.我觉得这里的价钱还可以,20美元一晚包早餐.我问老板为什么没有电视和热水,他说电视他会搞,而热水搞不了,因为Anura天气很热,一般都不需要热水;问他为什么没配厕纸,他说他担心员工偷用厕纸,结果昨晚他员工送来了餐巾纸,新亏我自己有准备,不然把餐巾纸丢进马桶还会不塞吗?最搞笑的地方是,他说他们的酒店"in high demand",我听了真想大笑.上校说他酒店有很大的需求,不过"念在"你们愿意派人来常住,我扣35%给你,只收20美元.他当时可能不知道我们就站在前台,他的账本我看得清清楚楚,有多少人来睡过,收了多少钱我都知道.那位老板还问我你们现在在哪里住.我告诉他,我昨天就在你这里睡.真想告诉他,你这里苍蝇还多过人! 15间房有14间是空的,连10%都没有,还High Demand?有没有搞错呀?不过我也不想多说,反正他们的员工比昨天我们看的管理员友善,而且老板在科伦坡,约了他周一到公司把合同签了算.

Day 2-1




一路上我们可以看见绿绿的田园风光,非常漂亮...
晚上在Anuradhapura的旅馆不好找,好又便宜的旅馆都住满了人. 有一家比较好的旅馆开价还要六十多美元一晚,我告诉他,现在兰卡局势不好,游客不敢来了,科伦坡酒店都纷纷降价,连Hilton Colombo也只是五十美元一晚,你们还收六十多美元?真是服了这帮人,难怪酒店入住率也只有10%.我们想派人来住上一两个月,这种价格我们怎么用?还有一个没有生意头脑的经理,硬要收取我们45美元一晚的费用,他愿意让给我们以后出差的员工35美元,但基于合同还没签,他硬要收取我们45美元.我问他,你有没有搞错?你为了多赚1千卢比而放弃十万卢比?结果他还是坚持要多那一千卢比,连我同事也火了,叫我走.最后我告诉那位经理,因为你这样,我们决定不认证你们这家酒店,不把生意给你!说完我们掉头就走了.当晚我们到入住酒店时已经是11点了.
我们去了一间没有客人的酒店睡,22美元的.厕所没有厕纸,没有热水,没有电视,酒店刚开张一个月,搞到我边洗澡边原地跑步,因为水有点冷.
不过有点值得赞赏的是床褥比较硬,枕头是新的,所以比在Kandy睡得舒服.

Day 2

Day 2


上图是去Anuradhapura途中所拍摄,路上被这棵倒下的树挡着,司机们都下车出力把树推去路旁

吃着早餐时就给财务同事打了个电话,终于找到人了,最终确认本地员工有15美元津贴,我赶紧把这好消息告诉他,对我而言何况也不是好消息?下午吃饭时,他终于放开地吃了,而且这次主动付款了.吃饱后还问我要不要甜点...

下午我们在Kandy完成了差事以后,就驱车前往Anuradhapura.

Day 1

第一个晚上我及其痛苦,吃都吃不饱.我那位本地员工同事问我出差有没有给补助,吃饭能否报销?我说我不知道,但吃饭肯定不能报.结果搞到他吃饭非常地省,平时我一个人可以吃的东西他确叫了一份,两个人吃,每人两块印度面包,我已经很饿了,但我又不好意思多叫,真的有些受不了!我真的很想自己去吃,他爱吃不吃是他的事,至少我可以吃得饱饱的,不需要省着吃,肚子一饿,整个人就很懊恼.我马上打电话给财务部的同事,问补助的事,刚巧那位财务部同事电话丢了,打了好多次没人接听.结果在吃得不是很饱的情况下回酒店睡觉去了,只能期待明天的早餐,下午茶,晚餐都是我在付钱,想想一两餐也就算了,但不能餐餐都由我的补助来补助他吧?决定明天再问财务部的同事,到底本地员工出差怎么报?!

Colombo->Kandy->Anuradhapura->Sigiriya->Colombo


为了协助项目组认证酒店,主动率领了一位财务本地员工随行,一来可以协助充当翻译,二来可以开车,(因为我没有本地驾照).计划首先前往兰卡中部的Kandy,然后去北部的Anuradhapura区,在从Anura区回到Colombo,顺便把未完成的心愿了结,上Sigiriya一趟.我们这三天两夜的行程大约400多公里. 路上还是蛮惊险的,Anura区为战火边缘的和平地段,如果由Anura出发再往北上的话,就是到了政府军和猛虎组织的战线,Anura拥有大型医院,主要是用来医治从北部送来的伤兵.而Kandy为斯里兰卡一大城市之一,这次是第二次到Kandy,所以没什么新鲜感姑且不介绍了.以上照片是下午从公司出发,在去Kandy路途中留影的...

手提钻的骚扰

周六下午,不知何故,宿舍大楼底层的停车场好像在搞扩充,因为下面的停车场设计得有些愚蠢,令大车好不容易才能进出该停车场.搞扩充是好事,但是下午就开始听到手提钻的噪音未免让人觉得有些烦躁,下午躺不下去了,出去和同事打球去.
周日凌晨三点多才睡,九点多早上时手提钻的声音又来了!由于我住在一楼,工程就在楼下进行,噪音首当其冲.这种声音真的会令人抓狂!! 被他轰炸得睡不了,要听歌,看碟也听不清楚.忍无可忍下楼找公寓的经理投诉一把. 我说TMD你们到底有没有Common Sense? 星期日来开工,好歹你们这里也算是比较豪华公寓,人家想在家里好好休息一番,你们确在这里搞装修,你知不知道楼上可以感觉到有多吵?经理说他也没办法跟这班工人说了他们不听.投诉了一把之后我又回去寝室了,手提钻仍然还在那里钻着.
过了十五分钟,老子又忍不住了,那种声音真的弄得我心好烦,整个人越来越火爆了,这次我那着电话下去,准备要这栋大楼的老板电话,准备D他一顿!看见刚才那位经理,我叫他把他老板的电话给我,让我去跟他说.经理告诉我,他老板正好要过来,我说好,等下叫我下来,让我见他!
二十分钟后,见了他老板,我跟另外一个下去看热闹的室友准备找他老板出气时,他老板也不想多说,因为他自己也在场感受了一番,告诉我们他已经叫工人停工了,然后急急忙忙闪人...NND我还准备了一些台词都还没用得上他就转身走了.还说你们不需要教我怎么做,说一听到投诉就过来看个究竟了.
我问那位经理,整个早上那么吵,楼上没有一个租户下来投诉吗? 经理说有,好像是你的roomate,我说我roomate没下来投诉,只有我.公司在这里租了4间公寓,12个人住,问了其他同事难道他们不觉得吵吗? 还是我反应太大.他们都说有,然后我问他们,你们也没有反应?就这样忍下去? 我室友告诉我,中国人就是这样,喜欢忍气吞声,多一事不如少一事.
我告诉我室友,经常在班车,在饭桌,经常听见许许多多的同事在抱怨什么公司老在扣他们的税啦,工作时间长工资少啦,然后又说工作一两年没加薪这个那个的,然后又说假期少,都是周六上班自己攒下来的假期. 我说,那想怪谁呢?说白了,就是你们自己作贱自己,不会为自己争取自己应得的利益,老外才不跟你来这套,薪水低,工作时间长,你看他们跟你来这套不?其实也不是只有中国人,马来华人很多都是这样,什么都忍气吞声,自己顾自己,所以族群利益被剥削,只会在后台呱呱吵,叫他出来投票确说很忙,什么改变不了事实之类的废话. 小孩从小就教导别人的事就不要多管闲事,大人看见抢劫就先躲一旁,以免殃及池鱼. 在这种情况之下,匪徒才胆敢那么猖狂,为非作歹...
不知怎么我现在越来越看不惯这种现象,曾有一位女同事说她很少会看见像我这种人,看见什么不公平的地方会提出来,因为一般的中国人就会逆来顺受...(可能是因为我告诉过她上次我投诉马航饮料的事,还有她知道我跟马来员工追问战争补助的事而吵到HR那里,结果HR把我列入黑名单了,当时公司给中方员工在比较危险的地方补贴战争补助,但是马来员工确没有,要知道,子弹和炸弹不长眼睛,谁理你是本地还是中方? 风险是一样的!所以有几个"正义之士"把这个补贴争取下来了.:p)

另外我的室友100%认同我的说法,刚才住在一起的领导问他为什么不去上班(老大,今天是周日也!),他装糊涂了,不想去,更不想犯贱!...在写着这篇blog时,手提钻的骚扰已经停止了,六根恢复了清静...准备去享用我的糙米粥去

Omega Dynamic

Today I went out with a local Sri Lankan colleague who loves watches, he took me to the local antique watch dealer to check out some fine watches, like Rolex, Tudor, Omega, etc...
We came across a shop that he recommended, small shops but he got a handful of antique watches on hand. The only watch that catch my interest is the thirty years old Omega Diville Auto with leather strap that he showed me (Off course the leather strap is not genuine because no such leather can last so long). Before I asked him the diville selling price, he notice the Omega Dynamic Chronograph Automatic (year 2000 model, final edition of Dynamic)that I was wearing. He asked me how much I bought my watch, I told him USD600. He said right now the price of my watch has shooted up to about USD1500! I was surprised to hear that, perhaps is the Euro currency rate increased.
Well, I bought this Omega watch like 4-5 years ago, at that time, the market rate is about USD 720+ and one day, while I was surfing the internet, I found out the watch price fell to USD580+ probably is due to the bad sales in US. Without hesitation, I log onto the website and purchase it online. The Omega Dynamic is quite thick, may be around 1.25cm, and comes in without date indicator, this is the reason that I seldom wear it to work because it doesn't tells me the date. The movement of this watch is very reliable and accurate for an automatic watch (especially compare to my Oris and previously owned Tissot). I gave it to my dad as a present when I first went home from US, my dad only wears it once in a while thus the watch was left into very good condition before I took it back and wear it once in a while.
Just few months ago I check the used price at ebay and I still found out that this watch was selling at 7xx.xx USD before the bid ends. Well today this watch dealer saw my watch and shows great interest on asking me to give him an offer to sell it to him. My colleague felt that it is quite funny because we suppose to come here and buy watches but could end up selling watches. I told the dealer in a joking way that if he pays me USD1200 I will sell it to him. He said he can't.
Then I ask him how much he wants to sell the Deville, after some bargain, the price of the Deville came down to USD110 which I think is a good buy. I didn't buy the watch yet but I am very interested on that watch. Before we go, the dealer offered me USD800 for my watch and I told him I will think about it, I took his name card because I don't think I know how to come back to his shop because it was located at a very crowded place, hopefully we might strike a deal later. For USD800 I don't think I want to sell it because USD value has depreciate since few years ago, and with the money I got, I still have to top up another 40-50% for a Seamaster. Will see what happen...

Paris Hilton in Jail

Read the news about Paris Hilton convicted to jail for 45 days due to wreckless drunk driving. I think this is not her first time driving wrecklessly, must have crashed her SL mercedes or something this time.
Being a girl that borned in a rich family, I think she is totally spoiled, hopefully by bringing her into jail will change her attitude a bit, is ok if you kill yourself for drunk driving your car wrecklessly, but it is not OK if you killed someone innocent, just like the recent case in Taiwan which the singer killed someone due to drunk driving. Some people said that Paris is quite dumb but some said she is smart because she knows how to make money, from album, perfume, TV shows, movies, etc. Well, for me, I think she is cute in a way, although some girls might disagree with me, but I am sure a lot of guys out there will agree with me. A guy friend of mine once told me that he watch such and such movie just because Paris Hilton is one of the actress in there, of course, I am with him! :)

Updated news: Paris didn't eat and drink much for past three days because she is afraid of going to toilet and afraid someone might have set up a voyeur camera to film her... Poor little girl! Perhaps that should cut down the jail term to 21 days if she behave well in jail, because I also worry that she will kill herself in jail. Celebrity going to jail is never easy, but they should share the same punishment with normal citizen, there shouldn't be any exception!

"I am a School Teacher"

This evening, after our outdoor basketball game with other four colleagues, we walked back to our apartment. On our way back, someone trying to initiate a conversation with my colleague who is walking right behind me and my colleague started to walk faster, apparently, a 40 years old guy trying to tell my colleague that he is a school teacher and eventually he managed to catch up with me due to I was the last guy.
People like me is always curious, I wonder what he is up to.. there goes our conversation:
"School Teacher": Hi.... I am a school teacher in Sri Lanka, How are you?

Me: (Whatever, "I hear you!" I know you are a school teacher)I am alright...

"School Teacher": How you find Sri Lanka.

Me: (Always doesn't like to offend others and trying to be polite here): It was okay... (If you want to hear the truth, there are too many annoying crows here! Bird droppings everywhere and you can hear the croaking sound 24/7. Why don't the government start to shoot some crows like what they did on Port Klang many years ago).

"School Teacher": So are you Chinese?

Me: No, I am Malaysian, (pointed to the front), they are Chinese.


"School Teacher": Oh...(he sounded like very interesting) (You work here? Where do you work?

Me: Huawei, Telecom business...

"School Teacher": Look, I need to show you something...
I notice he was about to show me a role of booklet or receipt book on his left hand (I am not sure what the hell is it, and I am not keen to know), I immediately put the conversation to an end by telling him...

Me: Look, if is about money, don't talk to me! (I said it arrogantly and impatiently) Then I mumbled, there are too many crooks around.

"School Teacher": Okay.
The school teacher immidiate slow down his pace and I continue to walk my direction, try to catch up with others at the front.

This is not the first time I met this kind of "crook" while walking on the street, really tired of them, or may be he is really a school teacher, but I really doubt it. Well, I don't mind to make some donation if he really is genuine because how come a school teacher will come out on Saturday evening to collect donations for school? This must be a joke! Teachers won't do that, only students will do this, as I have done it before!
Last time there is a guy who initiate a conversation with me and then told me some lame story that he came here to meet up with his friend in XXX Building, and his friend didn't show up, so he need some "help" and see if he can ask me to give him some bus fare so he can go home. First of all, if you did come to meet up with your "friend" without your return bus fare, I think you deserve to walk back with your own leg because of being such an idiot. Sometimes being a crook have to be creative, you can't use such an old trick again and again, it just don't work that way!

Well, many years ago, I was being conned with the same old trick while having dinner in KL, a chinese guy told me he just came from China and then he need some bus fare or something because someone cheated his money because it did happened and reported in newspaper before, stupid me gave him a few ringgit to "help" him because he looks really "pitiful". After that, I guess that I was conned. Later on I read these kind of news in newspaper and forums it just makes me become "smarter" when dealing with crooks. Also if you are reading this, be careful of someone that wants to borrow your phone and make some phone calls, he may run away with your phone if you lend it to him, unless you think you are fast enough to outrun him, never ever lend your phone to strangers.

I really hate these kind of crooks which abuse other people's compassion! That's why I am being so unfriendly to the so called "school teacher"! Sad to say, there are still a lot of idiots out there that was conned by internet/SMS "phishing".

2003 Chinese New Year with Haniway Staff


在USB里面搜出来的老照片,摄于2003年春节,在美国一家中餐厅拍的.

Playing with MAC

Today the HP notebook sales rep visited my office and would like to hand me some documents. Together with him there was his colleague who is in charge of selling Apple Macintosh laptops. Well, I am clearly aware that our company doesn't buy Mac book, and one thing for sure, MAC book is not that widely acceptable in Asia.
It reminds me my university days which there is one time I am forced to use a Mac PC due to all IBM PCs were occupied, I put my 1.44 inch floppy into the disk drive and started to work on my assignment, after I have done with my work and plan to take off, I have a hardtime getting my diskette back. There is no button available for me to press, so it will release my diskette from the drive, I have to ask around to find out how to do it, at the end, forgot how we make it, either pressing a button on the keyboard or shutting down the machine, then only I can get my diskette back. What a bad experience, frankly speaking, I hate it!
After 10 years, I am meeting the Apple sales guy... I saw him holding a very cool white color Macbook, he said he want to demonstrate the usage of Macbook. I don't want to disappoint him and slam the door on his face(hate that when customer do that to me), so I let him do his job. One thing for sure, the laptop is well built, very high quality material compare to cheapo Dell units, the key pad feeling was quite good as well. The screen is quite clear and the boot up is faster than XP, that's why you always see the MAC and PC advertisement in youtube trying to playdown the IBM PC.
Anyway, after twenty minutes of demonstration, I still have to tell him the cruel fact that we don't use Macbook in company. as a IBM PC user for more than 20 yrs, I really don't get use to Mac interface, though I won't deny it is a good product, but it is not for me. Unless they are selling it cheap, then may be I will consider. :p

Hotel California

到了睡觉时间,但刚才小睡了一个小时,所以睡不着.决定再写一篇Blog...
最近在网上下载了Eagles唱的Hotel California, 以前我从来不知道这首哥到底唱什么,记得一次在San Jose的Karaoke,一位叫YiJun的朋友点唱了这首歌,看着荧幕的歌词,终于明白原来Hotel California是一间闹鬼的酒店...
上次去Sirigiya的路途中,车里唯一的CD重复地播放着Hotel California, 所以让我回忆起往事. 歌曲蛮不错的一首歌,特别是通过吉他或Unplugged来演绎的一首歌曲,听起来抒情又轻快,我还刻意下载了另一个纯吉他演奏版本,现在一边听着歌曲,一边写着Blog...开始觉得有一点"小饿",不过我想还是算了吧,煮面吃的话是咖喱味的,现在喉咙又不舒服,喝牛奶的话,但牛奶好像有些味道,可能是那个LG冰箱不够冷,牛奶放不久.还是睡觉去...

病魔席卷办公室

最近这两个星期公司好多人生病,一个接一个的,随便也可以说出五个生病的人,很多人都去秘书那里讨感冒药.由于新租的办公室还没开始装修,现在旧有的办公室越来越拥挤,所以病原很容易传染,这几天也是徘徊在生病的边缘,终于今天索性下楼看医生了,拿了一些药,发觉抗生素是小时候吃的那种,味道很臭的...
把身体尽量调养好,下周会和同事出去科伦坡以外的城镇转一转,认证一些酒店,顺便出去走一走... :p

拉伯的第二春

我们马来的首相-拉伯宣布要结婚了! 老婆刚刚逝世不到两年,那么快又讨了一个老婆. 首相今年67岁,新娘53岁.还真把原配忘记得挺快的嘛! 据Malaysiakini报导,新娘是已故前首相夫人的弟弟的前妻.TMD,令俺感觉有些怪怪的,当地媒体受促不许挖新娘的背景报导,而新加坡媒体已经把照片登出来了(Ref: www.jeffooi.com. 我问我女同事,如果你嫁给你前夫的妹妹的前夫,会不会感觉有点怪怪的? 她没有回复我,只告诉我有时候马来人挺"乱水"的... 哈哈哈.

HDL vs LDL

上个月做体检,医生说我胆固醇过高,在镜子面前看着我那健硕的身材,不禁让我自问,"怎么会呢?"后来听说这和一个人肥瘦无关,医生说也有可能是遗传,有些人很容易就胆固醇过高.当然虾蟹之类的东西我还是吃得很凶的,牛肉羊肉更少不了,不然拿什么养分去维持那"健硕"的身材呢?呵呵.
不过无论如何,医生给我开了药,要我吃一个月后再做检验.28天的药要我RM160,还好都给它charge到我的ING卡.回来斯里兰卡以后,开始要控制饮食还有多做运动了,准备支援"HDL",对抗LDL!
这个月里,差不多每天都做运动,懒的话也会随便踩个半小时的脚踏车,出一身汗才罢休.另一方面,药也准时吃.虾蟹全部少吃,肉类吃的话要多做运动,蛋能免则免.另外也买了一些高纤维的Cereal做夜宵和早餐(因为健身以后有点饿)...
昨天去做抽血了,报告出炉,说我的胆固醇一切正常了,健硕的身材也因此更扎实,实在太好了!我想我回去以后会买辆室内脚踏车放在家里,继续努力. :)

29 April 2007 Sri Lanka Cricket Night




The Photos are not fireworks, it is the anti-air gunfire that fires to the air to stop the plane from Tamil Tigers. The photos were taken by one of the colleagues, he heard the "fireworks" sound and took these pictures
