2011

Many good things and bad things happened in Y2011, i am glad that i have Porky by my side through out my roller coaster ride in this year.

First half of the year, I quited my first company ( a place for retirees ) and joined a second firm by mistake. This second firm has very high turnover rate and i am the third person on the board within a yr. In a very short period of time, I began to feel something is wrong with the management and made up my mind to leave. After a fury clash with my immediate sup, whom i cannot agree with all along, i decided to call it a day. I left and not turning my head back, i decided to take such a drastic action because of my past experience with the previous company, if it does not suit you, do not waste time on it.

After the resignation and clash, i was mentally and physically damaged, it was so bad that i have depression, Porky helped me to move on by taking good care of my health and job hunting patiently. With better health after a few weeks, i suggested we should go for a trip, and just right before our trip, i received an offer from a company , i was overjoyed and grateful for the sheer good luck. My mind was totally switched off from the unpleasant experience throughout the trip and Porky was a good companion.

After starting in the third firm, which i have worked happily with my boss and colleagues till today, i have lots of job satisfaction and recognitions from my colleagues / superior. I was even promised to have a chance to visit Headquarter in Europe next year, although it is not top on my wish list. I know if i am doing my parts, rewards will come.

For me, it is like you had a very bad fall, and found yourself landed on a gold mine. A door is closed, and another bigger door is opened. Life, is full of possiblities and hope at the same time.

Top on my list which is also porky s favorite, we spent 2 hours every saturday nite watching Alicia and legal partners from Lockhart Gardner Firm fighting hard in court, in their life. I　began to root for her after first few episodes, i like her tough on outside, gentle inside character.


No.2 The Big C
Cancer is too heavy a subject to swallow, but i cannot help laugh and cry with her, Cathy.

平安夜大餐

因为周六是平安夜，胖猪被我押着下厨，要他不要再吹牛说自己多会煮菜。材料和食谱都由我决定和买好了， 胖猪只好硬着头皮上阵。心虚的胖猪从五点到七点都在厨房切切煮煮， 生怕砸了自己的招牌。到了七点， 平安夜大餐终于好了。 我一看， 排骨萝卜汤， 清炒豆苗，娘惹咖哩鸡，不错不错， 虽然手忙脚乱， 却也完成任务。 以后我可以不用亲自下厨了。

饭后，清理了餐具和厨房，电视播着傻大姐Cameron Diaz和影后级Kate Winslet 演的 The Holiday，先 吃着Royce的巧克力，接着又来杯红酒。 窗外滂沱大雨，我们就互相依偎窝在沙发上叹世界，享受人生。

平安夜，偷得浮生半日闲, 夫复何求。

第二天一早， 胖猪大清早就有事先出门，我就心血来潮烘了两片墨西哥饼做pizza，依旧放了日本矮瓜，意大利面酱，芝士。虽然好吃，但没有胖猪，味道就是不一样。

新山半日游

几乎每到年底，我们都会选一天去新山去购物，唱k，看戏和吃点本地的小吃。
我们通常一早十点就过关卡， 这次迟了一个钟头，关卡又刚好大塞车， 到新山时已经快下午一点。 我们快快的截了辆德士赶到了开张不久的 KSL city， 胖猪和我就在附近亚华粿条吃了顿满意的午餐，我们都点了五令吉的粿条， 一碗白果腐竹， 一盘南瓜糕， 共17令吉。吃饱喝足之后我们就直往戏院冲去，看了两个钟头的 TWILIGHT， 剧情有些烂但是戏票比较在新加坡便宜就算了。
从戏院出来， 我们就开始购物，贪吃的胖猪就狂买手信，我就买了件Gap的long sleeve shirt（45令吉，在新加坡肯定不止这个价码） 和两件Polo T（69令吉）。到晚餐就去世华肉骨茶吃了一碗猪肚汤和肉骨茶（各九令吉）。这次我们都没买到想买的皮鞋（因为我们的皮鞋刚好都坏了）， 所以只好看接下来圣诞减价能不能搞定。 晚餐后我们都赶回新加坡，疲倦的动物们都归巢。
这次的半日游很不过瘾，因为大塞车，没唱到K （胖猪还想和我飙歌看谁厉害），没买到鞋， 购物的物价也不算便宜， 不过也算了因为花费总共也不多，比起搭飞机出国还是划算多了（单机票就远远超过我们一天的花费）。不过看来以后要购物也真不必考虑新山， 物价真的不会便宜过新加坡很多，看戏和唱K倒不妨。
