周末“逛”加星山

又到了周末。。。
平时的周末，我都必须把全部的时间留给工作。

难得这个周末清闲，赶快把应该完成的事情搞妥。

心血来潮的我约了她陪我到Bukit Gasing‘行山’。。。

一来想找更多时间陪她，

二来我实在很久没有到户外行动了，

三来我讲要到Bukit Gasing去也讲得实在太久了（不想让别人有机会讲我就只会光说不做）

Bukit Gasing加星山

它位于吉隆坡和八打灵之间，其中有93公顷在雪州管辖范围，而另外的298公顷则在吉隆坡管辖范围。

还蛮惊喜的，位于吉隆坡这片黄金地带竟然会保留酱大片的绿色原始森林。

我们选择了傍晚6点开始“逛”森林。。。

（建议可以选择早上或不迟过傍晚５点到哪儿去，太夜会导致出来时天色已黑）

加星山其实不难爬，大约一小时办就可以完成整个路程。

话不多说，就看看那里到底有什么可以看咯！

１。大自然（这是每个城市人都渴望接触的）

２。当然是野生动植物咯

３。瞭望台（让你将八打灵的城貌尽收眼帘）

４。吊桥

５。凉亭等等等

森林就好像一间开放式的教室，“学生”们可以尽情地挖掘想要知道的知识铺满枯叶的小巷，别是一番景象绿意昂然的大树就好像一把伞，帮我们遮挡酷晒的阳光竖立在林中央的红色瞭望台让我们有机会大饱眼福，将八打灵的城貌一览无遗人造小巷及阶梯引领我们探索森林的奥妙不算长的吊桥就坐落于出口处附近以后的路还很漫长，就让我们携手共度吧！

WhAts ThE ProPoSaL?

Finally, we managed to watch the movie......

Why 'finally'?

because dear want to watch this movie since last few weeks due to highly recommendation from her student...

First of all, I have no idea who actually starred in this movie.

Just think that this movie must be another romantic comedy on the blocks......

THE PROPOSAL

Stars Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds

Yes... Sandra Bullock---Ms. Congeniality!!

I like the character she's played, she is a smart and tough superwomen at the beginning and transformed to a vulnarable women then.....

She is the slave-driving boss in the eyes of her co-employee......

While Rey Reynolds plays as her assistant that forced by her boss to marry her in order to avoid being depeorted to Canada.

The plot of this movie is quite interesting although most of it are predictable.

Such as two people which dislike each other at the onset and slowly fall together at the end.

This movie can make you laugh while simultaneously make you cry

(p/s: I didn't cry but dear did)

Anyway, I have to admit that I enjoyed it. It was a feel good movie after all.
(But I will take this movie as a comedy rather than a romance)

-------When will my proposal? Huh?

和她逛书市

今天大早起身回实验室上班（因为想要早走）。。。
一边驾车，一边打着瞌睡！
感觉好像好想再钻回被窝里大觉睡哦！
（不知为什么这两天总好像是睡不好，因为发一些奇奇怪怪的梦。。。而且醒来后，梦境的每个情节还会记得清清楚楚）这是不是说明了我睡得不够熟啊？

到了实验室后，赶快把今天该完成的工作干完。。。
然后就开开心心地去和我的她会合。
除了出国旅游，我们平时都很少乘坐公共交通。。。
今天我提议乘坐轻快铁出外拍拖，地点就是之前决定的KLCC书展！（哈！去书展拍拖啊？）
今年的书展好像比去年搞得更有规模，更完善。。。
除了华文书，今年也多了好多英文及国文书。。。
付完门票后，拿到一份导览手册。
导览手册比往年还要厚，资料也比往年多。
会展的摊位，书本的归类及排位也十分整齐，一目了然！

一进入会场，我们先逛英文区。
平时鲜少买书的她竟然一口气买了三本书。。。（还不是因为最近的她迷上了珠子手工艺）
逛完英文区，我们‘跳过’国文区（Paiseh!本人实在是对国文书不感兴趣）。。。
这次书展展示最多的还是中文书。。。
主办单位还很细心地将华文书籍区分为新马馆，香港馆，台湾馆及中国馆。
在这里逛了大约两小时，两手当然不可能空空的。。。
总不可能不为我家的书橱增添新成员吧。。。
最后花了大约两百多零吉。。。买了十本书。。。
对今天的收成还蛮满意的！（但还是有蛮多书想买的！）
这届的书展，除了书本，会场还有贩卖零食，饼干和文具。。。
（如果看到大家手里拿着一袋袋的饼干零食从会展走出来，你千万别感到惊讶哦！）

手上拎着重重的新书，再加上她买的饼干零食。。。
手拖着手，一起搭上轻快铁回去拿车。。。
一路上的她嚷着肚子饿了，最后到我俩的至爱嘛嘛档用膳。

回到家，已经是很夜了!
不想明天又没精神上班，现在还是乖乖上床休息吧！

Meeting with Deputy Youth and Sports Minister

It has been few weeks past my last blog entry......
I know i need to 're-blog' again before all the things happened recently being wiped out from my memory.....

Went to Menara Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS), PutraJaya yesterday...
For what?
As one of the YMM Selangor member, I was invited to attend the meeting with Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Wee Jeck Seng. It was just a common communion with the deputy minister.
Useful info obtained from the meeting and get to know hows our government agency operate.

最近的我

最近的我。。。
还是一年前的我。。。
感觉还是原地踏步，还是过着一样的生活。。。
甚至感觉比以前糟糕！

讨厌自己没有勇气改变。。。
为什么不能好像王力宏的歌那样《改变自己》？
每当某某人问我为什么你不能改变一下？
我总是会用十万八千个理由来避开话题。。。什么身不由己啦，我就是酱的咯。。。等等等等。。。

是因为我不想改变，还是我懒惰改变，还是我没有勇气改变或是我真的不能改变？
我试过问自己。。。但我自己也不知要怎样回答。。。可悲！
心里总想着。。。我应该完成这样事情先，然后再做某样事情。。。
但，当这样事情没有我想象中那么顺利时，我就开始慌了。。。我失去方向了。。。
也许Dear说得对，我必须牺牲某些东西。。。
我想：“我能吗？”

到头来。。。我还是原本的我！

巨星陨落

一大早就听到了这样一个坏消息
"Michael Jackson dead at 50"
相信这个消息也一样令你十分震惊。。。
我也一样，我并不是他的忠实粉丝（对他本人没什么好感，因为他的负面新闻太多了）
但我喜欢听他的歌。。。
一路驾车，一路听着电台播放他生前首首遗作，
（超喜欢Heal the world这首歌）
令我觉得感慨和惋惜，
也令我想起小时候和堂哥一起听他的歌的那段岁月。。。
虽然那个时候的我听不懂他的歌曲的意思（英文程度差）。
但我们就是会被他的舞台魅力吸引。

我会永远记住Michael Jackson是一位伟大及杰出的音乐人!
同时也献上我对这位巨星的哀悼之意。。。

《Heal The World》歌词
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be much brighter than tomorrow

And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel there's no hurt or sorrow

There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space Make a better place ...

*Heal the world Make it a better place
For you and for me
And the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make it a better place For you and for me

If you want to know why
There's love that cannot lie
Love is strongIt only cares of joyful giving

If we try we shall see
In this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread we stop existing and start living

Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world Make a better place ...

Repeat*

And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth, crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly Be god's glow

We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could really get there
If you cared enough for the living
Make a little space
To make a better place ...

Repeat**

被“白马”感动

早上驾车上班的途中，听到了这首歌。。。
《身骑白马》
演唱的歌手是星光三班第一名徐佳莹
这首歌非常熟悉，旋律听起来还蛮好听的。。。很不错哦！
我之所以会对这首歌特别熟悉是因为，
我曾在星光大道电视转播里看到她演唱这首歌曲。。。
在加上副歌的部分是改编自一首非常动听的歌仔戏歌曲。。。
华语和闽南语的互相交錯唱到副歌那一段，我真的有被感动到哦。。。
回想现今歌仔戏已慢慢被新时代淘汰，
（相信现在的小孩子都不知道什么是歌仔戏吧！）
记忆中，七八岁的我时常都能在阿嫲家看到姑姑叔叔们正追看歌仔戏场景。。。
嘻嘻，我还记得当时杨丽花主演小生角色可说是十分受欢迎的。。。

在线上Google一下这首歌，
《身骑白马》唱的是千金小姐王宝钏嫁给薛平贵后，在寒窑苦守十八年，薛平贵外出打仗居然跟西凉的代战公主结了婚。十八年后当薛平贵知道王宝钏还在苦等之后，就抛下了公主和西凉的官位，跑回去找王宝钏。歌词前一段写代战公主的心情，后一段及副歌写薛平贵回家的心情，副歌是台语，选自杨丽花的歌仔戏。听起来还很有民族风味。

“乐来越爱”正式开跑

第五届“乐来越爱”全国华语歌唱比赛－正式开跑
这个歌唱比赛和我有着很特别的渊源
我开始创办第一届歌唱比赛，也参与了随后的每届歌唱比赛。
一路看着这个歌唱比赛一届比一届壮大。　　
今年，歌唱比赛已经踏入第五届，也就是说我们主办歌唱比赛已有十年的经验。。。
自然而然对这届歌唱比赛有着蛮高的期许。。。

今届的筹工委班底大多都是新血，
我和几位老鸟自然就必须花较多的心思从旁协助。。。
某某人时常在我耳边提醒我应该放手让新人发挥，而我也知道这是必要的。。。
但。。。
我承认我常常在协助的过程中会过于热心，
又或者我对某些事物的要求过于完美，以致常常不满别人所做的一切。。。
（对于不爽我的人，你们就怨我吧！）
但我还是觉得这是为你们好的啊！
希望你们能够从中学到更多，
学习如何接受挑战，和面对挑战。。。
我知道你们也付出很多。。。
而我会检讨自己，但并不代表我会降低我的要求。。。

希望这届歌唱比赛能顺顺利利，成功举办。。。

Bravo Federer!!

一连十多天的法网赛终于来到了尾声。。。

最后一场是我最期待的男单决赛

决赛是由此赛事最大黑马-Robin Soderling对上连续四届闯入决赛的Roger Federer

这场决赛对费德勒来说可是非常重要的。。。

因为赢了这场决赛，他将完成网球全满贯的最后一块拼图，成为史上第六位全满贯选手。。。

他-终于做到了！

看到他获胜的那一刻，我也跟着激动起来。。。

激动是因为我看到了一个令我敬佩的人物终于完成他的愿望。。。

这个胜利真是来得不易。

2008年到今年，对他来说是十分艰难的时期。

因为他的表现开始走下坡，他也不再统治整个网坛。

世界第一位置也被取代，很多人也开始怀疑他能不能再站上大满贯颁奖台上。

能不能完成全满贯，能不能追平记录得到最多的大满贯。

但这场胜利，所有的质疑都是多余的。

他已经证明了自己是网坛历史上最伟大的人物。

The third day in Bangkok was about Shopping, Shopping and Shopping......
Thailand recently has been developing rapidly, as what we can see from its transportation system and all the modern buildings in the city!
As what I know, Bangkok is now one of the Shopping paradise in Asia...
Therefore, visit Siam square become a must during this trip especially going with a 'moderate' frantic shopaholic (guess who? My dear lo...)hehe!!

Wake up quite late in the morning (to recharge more energy for shopping)
After took our breakfast, we were heading toward Siam Square.
Due to the red-shirt demonstration, there were army at the BTS station.....
Both of us pray hard for peace and for the shopping centre to start operate today.
(Most of the shopping centre closed yesterday due to the tense situation in Bangkok)
Our first stop was the popular Erawan Shrine for good luck and good fortune!Haha! Luck is on our side because most of the shopping centre open today!
Like Bintang walk in KL, most of the shopping center here are in the walking distance to each other...And some of it are linked up with sky bridge.
Let see if I can list out all the shopping mall here:
Central World, Emporium, Gaysorn Plaza, Siam Paragon, Erawan Centre, Siam Discovery Center, Siam Centre, MBK centre and .......you can name it.....Naraya is the shop which i can't forget......
Why? The place was packed with people especially ladies.....
People just grab like its free and shop like crazy here!!
Anyway, this shop offer nice bags with reasonable price!
Shopping, Shopping and Shopping.....
Until dinner time......See what we have for our dinner in the shopping complex?
Thai Food? Nope!
Its western food!
As recommended by my friend, this restaurant offer nice western food with reasonable price...
So we just give it a try......
My comment on the food: Not bad lo... Just like TGI Friday here with cheaper price!

What a lovely coincidence, we were at Bangkok at the time Thais celebrating Songkran Festival!
The street was packed with foreigner and local people......
Cars can't move because of crowded people who are playing water and dancing on the road......
Bangkok is definately a bargain shopping paradise.
The picture below says everything....Anyway, this was a nice trip and hope I will come back again!
