Korean BBQ

I love to eat Korean food recently, especially Bibimbap Its taste is very nice. We usually come to the 'food garden' in Sri Petaling, because the place is almost fulled of the restaurant, and this Korean BBQ restaurant is located in one of the congested road in Sri Petaling. The attendants' services are friendly and polite. If you are Korean food lover, you may need to have a chance to try this.

I would love the side dishes if compare to the main course (BBQ chicken). The cook pot of Korean BBQ is different with the ordinary buffet BBQ cook pot. There is nothing to be gushed out. You can still keep a good and clean visage end up the meal.

Raw Chickens, Pork and seafood


Fish Pie


My favorite side dishes


Bibimbap. The look is not so nice but the taste is definitely fantastic!


Vege


Darling. He was putting in effort to finish the meals...
It was a great dinner and it was not costly as well. Overally RM 33.00++ per person. If compare to Daorae Korean restaurant which has been new opened in Sri Petaling, the price is acceptable.

Glamours & Glitters' Annual Dinner

I used to hope that i would have a chance to attend Chee Siang's company annual dinner. I had the chance eventually, but it was not so impressed, just a "normal" annual dinner which was the same as what i had been attending during my working life.

The annual dinner was held in Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC). It was the first time i was there. Huge highway, along the highway is accompanied by the trees and the government designed houses are elsewhere in Putrajaya. With the major helping by the road signs. We arrived PICC after 2 hours departing from house (we were first time there indeed to get lost).

There were about 200 tables in the convention center, with the glittering ballroom and stage, as well as a great eloquence emcee. The performances were started after the speech by the CEO and the President of Standard Chartered Bank. The performances were impressed but unfortunately the food was horrible. The food was not delicious neither hot.

The food was hosted by Hotel Equatorial, a 5 stars hotel. I couldn't believe that when i was asking for a mineral water, the attendant told me that the mineral water is only for VIP. I would have asked, how much does it cost for a mineral water? It is only served to the VIP?? A 5 star hotel treated VIP a mineral water as a best drinks. What a funny statement. Then, i ordered a glass of plain water, but it was not on my table even the last meal had been served.

How terrible were the services! We were refused to be given when we requested just a chili sos, dried cut chillis and even a teacup. They did not prepare any extra in the convention center. How tedious the truth was.

The event ended at 11:15pm. We were not lucky enough for the lucky drawing, but overally the banquet was good. Congratulations to the winner of the performance and dressing code, they indeed had a good night.

停泊,热浪。。。浮潜记

日期:七月十一日,时间:六点整,地点:吉隆坡苏邦机场。正式结束岛屿短暂的假期。这次的旅程,可以用两个字形容,超棒!

一向性格卒仔的我,这次是拿出十分的勇气,来挑战自己对海的畏惧,再次为自己的人生表画一个钩。我人生的进展,每日一小增,每年一大增,欲穷千里目,更上一层楼。

这次旅程专著浮潜。三天两夜的行程,几乎都是出海浮潜。浮潜,可以让我看到,海洋竟是如此的奥妙。海底世界深不可测,那些身穿五艳六色衣服的鱼儿,在我的眼帘间游走。因太阳折射而散发出五彩缤纷的珊瑚, 有蓝的,粉红的,红色的,更是漂亮的只应天上有,人间难的几回见。志祥还因为浮潜的时候,因为不小心踩到珊瑚而受伤。我还打趣地对他说:“ 漂亮的事物只有瞬间,同时也会很容易伤害人。”

小鱼不胜其数。更幸运的事还可以看到海龟,baby shark 和 粉红色大鳗鱼。这次行程可说是值回票价。回航的途中,导游还告诉我们,海龟游上海面,探了探头,仿佛向我们说再见。海风迎面而来,所有烦恼和压力瞬间消失,把自己交给一个陌生的岛屿,一个让人倾心的岛屿。

经过这次浮潜行程,我不肯定下一次我还有没有这样的胆量,到世界各地不同的岛屿,进行探险行动。因为虽然比起潜水活动,浮潜只是幼稚园的课程,但是其实它也有潜在的危险性。我只能说, 感谢上帝,恩赐我这次的机会,把我带到这个本来不属于我的世界,让我也有机会一探究竟,看看海底的世界,长的是什么样子。真是让我大开眼界!

浮潜。。。究竟是我们看海底世界的生物, 还是海底世界的生物仰望我们?或许,人类对它们而言,只是一条可以浮在水面上,但需要“氧气筒” 助游的大鱼。




我们一队船友,因浮潜而结缘, 很开心可以认识他们。

我的工作台

第一次站在国立大学的讲台上,那扇木门,陈旧的椅子,和拥有冰箱冷般的空调,让我的思绪回到七年前。七年前,我还是一个不知天高地厚的小妞,想不到七年后的今天,我那么幸运的可以站在这个讲台上,这次,我是站着讲,而不是坐着听。

前几天一个好就不见的旧同事,问我生活过得可好,问我当初在学院教的日子和现在做比较,哪一个比较适合升学读博士学位。当然,我连想都不用想,就马上回答,当然是现在咯。。。有谁会愿意回首那一段在学院教书的日子?!

很肯定我也不是没有挫折。人生遇到挫折,才证明你是选择对的路。一道太风平浪静的人生道路,反而生命会比较廉价。这或许是安慰我自己的话,但是有它作伴,起码身心也比较平衡些。我也很感激我姐姐多番的提拔,我父母无限的辅助,还有志祥无私的付出,才能成就今天的我。

我现在很享受我的生活。有时间做研究,也有机会到国立大学执教鞭,那些脸孔比起学院生,可单纯的多。我已经不需要再做别人的棋子,作为别人自导自演的其中一个角色。哈哈。。。生活可乐趣的多!


我的工作台:一星期三个小时,维持四个月
