24 Sept 2010
这个Project已经开始了一个月有多，逐渐的步入尾声，也是最危险的时期，也就是要赶工的时期。近来两个星期，忙得不得了，感觉到一天8个工作小时是不够的。几乎每一天都需要额外付出时间，几乎每一天除了工作和吃饭，还是工作，几乎每一天的心跳都特别活跃，几乎每一天的呼吸都特别沉重，几乎每一晚睡觉前都会想念一下工作。
它来得正是时候，在这一个月出现在我生命里，好让我能够完全投入工作。也让我在工作一周年来临之前刻上最深的烙印，留下最美丽的历史。

曾经何时
24 Sept 2010
今天午餐时间经过One World Hotel看见一群毕业生忙着整理衣服，头发，以便以最端庄的一面迎接人生里可能是最后一次，甚至是唯一一次的毕业典礼。
看到这种场面，又令我回想起当年的毕业典礼。我可以感觉到画面还很清晰。我想不只是我，我们在KPMG和IBM大厦工作的上班族看到这一批毕业生，都会议论纷纷，心里或多或少开始想念在读书时期的青春，疯狂，和自由。那是一段那么难以忘记的日子啊！有多少人又情不自禁地有一股冲动涌上来，好想时光能倒流，能够再次回到那一段日子。
学生们，好好享受现在能拥有的。。。

人生的另一课
19/9/2010
刚刚从车祸上了一堂课后，今天又上了另一堂。话说没有了汽车，就惟有在家解决一日两餐。
正当我要开始煮午餐时，发现煤气完了，只好到公寓楼下的杂货店购买新的煤气。偏偏今天是星期日，店里只有一位员工，她不能跑开帮我送煤气，哥哥又不在家，我就扛起这份差事了，利用手推车把14kg的煤气桶推回家里，更换煤气桶，再把旧的煤气桶退还。以为有手推车的帮助，是一份容易的差事，当做起来时才发觉也蛮吃力。
又得了人生另一个经验。

希望是唯一一次
16/09/2010
虎年对我来说看起来不是很顺利。首先情场失意，过后又发生一件我从来不想发生的事情-车祸。
我害怕车祸，除了是因为安危之外，也因为不懂怎么去处理。可是事情要发生的，始终会发生。
话说当天我向大嫂提出到附近露天停车场练习驾车。想到已经练习了两次，除了不熟练控制一号gear之外，应该没太大的问题，是时候进一步，驾车回家，路程也不太远。她没有太大的信心，拒绝了，但是我却鼓励她。
开始还挺顺利，直到看到前方有车，就紧张起来了。我还很冷静的告诉她别慌，赶快刹车。我以为会没事，就没想到要帮她拉hand brake。当我看到她不能控制自己的脚的时候，我也跟着慌起来，已经没想到要帮她煞车了，就只是眼睁睁地看着自己与迎面而来的汽车越来越靠近，心里倒数着相撞的那一刻，也跟左边的另一辆车子擦身而过。
没有人受伤，唯独我们这三辆汽车。当然，少许身体擦伤和疼痛是难免。心烦的也不是因为汽车，而是别的。其一是当中一些有口难言的事情，其二是因为之后三个星期没有汽车的日子，其三是对相撞的那一幕留下一些阴影。
往好的那一方面去想，其实我们也获益不浅。最起码对保险有一定的认识了，也从中体验到人生的另一课。除了要还RM300传单，也没有损失别的，反而还可以趁机翻新车子，最侥幸的是没有酿出人命。

This is the best food we had in penang. We were told to wait for at least an hour but fortunately it finally only spent us 35 minute. Do bring some reading materials so that you have something to do while waiting for the food. It really worths for at least a try.

Operation hour: 11.30am - 6pm, closed on Tuesday
Price: RM7.00
Rate: 4.5/5
This char koay teow is different than the one we had in Sister CKT. The most significant difference is the size of the prawns which is double, of course so is the price.
I have to tell you that the prawns are superb fresh and juicy. The taste is different in the sense that it is more oily and the texture of the koay teow is smoother. Unfortunately I would also have to inform you here that you may need to wait for around half an hour.

Operation hour: 7am - 12pm
Price: RM 4.00
Rate: 4/5
From the appearance and the texture of the noodles, we could know they are fried slowly, until they get drier, sticked on the wok and eventually turn out to be slight chewy. This is something not common. :)
Yam Cake

Operation hour: 7am - 12pm
Price: N/A
Rate: 3/5
Tips: Do not try the otak-otak
It is sold at a stall next to sister CKT. The best comment about this yam cake is the freshness. It is still warm when served. The texture is smooth, but unfortunately it is lack of yam. The minced dried shrimps which are really nice save the taste.

One staff approached us and recommended their o-chien (fried oyster with egg). I realized later that it was from the restaurant opposite. The oyster and taste were really good except for it was a little bit oily, which I expected. I would rate it 4.5/5.

Though it doesn't look tempting, it tastes not bad, thanks to the minced pork and seafood in the porridge. Some love the sweet and sour soup on the fish, but I find it not sour enough and the sweetness is a little bit too much. Overall, I rate it 4/5.
