Life rechecking time..

Had a good catch up wz Z this afternoon right after my amazing race jakarta, its tiring but our time together was really well spent! Bitching abt present working life and missing the old working life. Somehow, u do really miss those fun days in the old days. Fun colleagues, hectic shift hours, funny n crazy hotel guests etc...

After our 1st meal of the day at 5pm, it took sometimes for us to decide what to watch in GV Vivo. Those movie is currently showing din really interest the both of us. My ex-the thai horror, not Z's cup of tea. Universal Soldiers-too voilent for me. Its either the movie i had already watched or he had Or the late late midnight show. In the end, we decided to watch "The boys are back" Basically the story is abt a widower (Clive Owen) struggling to raise his two sons alone. The story is simple and yet light and easy esp for the two of us*the himbo who couldn take the "brainy" movie for that point of time. :)

Especially the part where his wife was diagnose and died with bowel cancer at his happiest moment in life, tat struck me. OK?! It makes me rethink abt my life, my family and friends around me. Is life really tat short that we have to treasure every moments with the loved ones? Some said God can give u everything one day and take away everything tmr? Tat's scary! I would think that the point is not abt God, its about a person's attitude towards his life and ppl around him/her.

I always heard ppl saying a person should live life to the fullest one day at a time like there's no tmr, tat he treasures everything around him and making everything he does meaningful. I totally agree with that BUT sometimes i guess ppl which incld me sometimes take things for granted. Just live the day with no goal, no meaning, no nothing...juz laze around and rot...And on the other side of the world, we are aware tat there are ppl who are worrying and suffering where to get food for today n tmr. some ppl has to escape from the flying bullets or bombs without home. Ppl who lives in fear everyday, ppl who are sick and are striving so hard to live for juz one more day. Sometimes I juz feel for them. By looking at myself in the mirror and reminding myself that let's do something meaningful today....

Back to the reality, the 1st thing came into my mind is my family in TW. My aging parents and my fast growing niece and nephew. Gosh...this movie had really given me a second thought abt my life!!!!-yes i know parents are naggy, kids are noisy, siblings are complaining, relatives are nosey..no matter wat; I have decided to spend more quality times wz them even though they are so far away! cos i think they are really worth it!

Initially was fed up wz the roster that put me standby on the 1st day of CNY and decided not to go back cos it takes time $ n efforts to change the bloody flt. But again..how many more yrs u will spend CNY wz ur parents at their late 50s? I think arent all the efforts and crazy amt of top up for off days are juz worth to see them welcoming you back and having a good home cooked food together, chatting...laughing..

OK....time to change flt....no matter how much it costs...and how troublesome they are...Let's do it Shawn!

充满惊喜的马六甲

几天前趁着三天的假，草草决定开车去马六甲。原本在考虑要去敏丹岛或者马六甲，但嫌敏丹岛能做的东西很有限。所以就决定去看看已十年没去的马六甲。心里充满着喜悦与期待呢！！

当天为了要等云下午回来，所以暂时决定下午两点重新加坡出发。

下午两点：

云东摸西摸，又要带我去jb看房子。那边的别墅是真的又大又豪华，但一想到新加坡这边的朋友和那边边的治安。实在无法想象长驻在当地的生活。东看西看，拖了几个小时后。我们下午五点半才真正的出发。

半路：

一路上平顺，听着lady gaga轻快的流行歌曲。看着一路上风景，云又以两百四的时速在大马的高速公路直奔马六甲。过了两个多小时后，我们不知不觉的已经到了2008封为世界遗产之一的古城。

Heritage Hotel Melacca大华酒店：

花了几分钟终于找到了已定好的大华酒店。饭店的外观跟我在网上看到的一模一样，真的无法想像它已经过百。也很难想象这栋建筑物在此地已经过了和平与战乱的日子。踏进饭店，果然室内的设计跟几十年前的布置一样，古色古香，很有自己的味道。

下榻酒店的服务员也是很友善，特地带我们到房间去。房间比我想象的大，很有五零六零年代的味道。从房间能看到马六甲河畔，还能看到对岸的游乐场的灯饰。房间厕所是开放式的，让整个房间感觉看起来宽敞。对了，差点忘了他的浴缸是独立式的。非常特别哟。

饭店达人的小tips：

如果有朋友想住在大华可以打去YTL-饭店的总公司要求resident's package。这个配套包括住宿，早午晚三餐。非常的划算！！饭店也提供免费上网服务跟dvd player :) 还有饭店没有提供房内餐饮服务，所以半夜容易饿的朋友不妨试试看饭店旁的小贩也有一番风味喔！大概一般开到晚上十一点。

早午晚餐：

饭店有三个地方提供餐食，早跟晚餐会在饭店二楼的餐厅提供，那午餐跟下午茶会在饭店大厅提供。原本以为通常配套里的餐食会很简单。但我们都错了！！早餐的服务很简单，茶，果汁后，服务员会推出餐车。餐车上面有水果，优格，cereal 和各类面包。之后餐桌上有一份menu，你可以点一般早餐有的蛋类或者中式早餐。每天早餐主菜会包括一样面食，不妨可以试试看。我们觉得喜欢辣的人会喜欢吃！

午跟早餐可从主菜单点选，刚开始我们不相信可以这么做，因为菜单上的价钱实在是不便宜。经过解释过后，才放心的大点特点。总的来说，从开胃菜道主菜。我们实在觉得每一样菜都是厨师精心烹煮,和设计的，酱汁也是精心调配的。因为你人在马六甲，每道菜都是中西合并而成的。都有当地有名pernarakan的特别味道。我和云也算是老饕之一，每道菜几乎无可挑剔，让人食指大动。如果以十分计算的话，我看我非得给个9分吧！

特别推荐一下几道菜：

Red snapper Asam pedas

the tenderloin steak

flower crab starter

otah otah salad

tiger prawn wz pasta

The egg rolling massage!!:

本小弟十分喜欢做spa与按摩。看了下榻饭店的spa menu，觉得他们家的按摩很有特色。因为他们以当地pernarakan的特色作为主题。做过这么多种的按摩却从来没有看过egg rolling massage
!!觉得这个按摩非常特别，经过解释后才知道当地pernarakan文化相信每个人的体质都不一样。有分热性与凉性体质。在选择不同的按摩之前，每个人都需要做一个问答卷。热性体质的人就需要以凉性按摩来平衡，促进血液循环，增强抵抗力。服务员解释当地人相信鸡蛋属凉性，可把易燥体质的人的热性除去掉。

我本身属凉性但却固执的要试试看egg rollong massage!!!! 哈哈

经过三个半小时的享受，觉得喜欢按摩的朋友真的可以试试看这种古方按摩喔！别看来自巴里岛的按摩师人看起来娇小，但可别小看她的按摩力道喔！！！只有一句话SHIok!!

迷路：

吃完之后又直接杀去做脚底按摩。在回去的路上由于天黑难认路，我们终于在马六甲迷路了！

马来西亚的道路很多都是单向道，如果你错过这个弯道那你就要绕一大圈回到原路。我跟云说这就是road trip好玩的地方-迷路。花了大半时间终于找到了回去的路的说，却在一个弯道碰上了临检。由于有人开的车是名牌的又加上是新加坡的车牌，早已知道会被拦下来。我却很好奇的想知道他们的马来警察会议啥理由开罚。呵呵！刚开始这位年轻的马来警察要看云的证件，看完之后却说云开的车窗的防热贴贴的太暗了，要罚！云以马来话沟通说他刚在新加坡做过车检一切没问题，说有事的话他可以打给他当地有权有势的朋友来帮忙。那警察听了马上愣了一下，马上可以看见脸上的gua guA GUA...没想到我们可以逃过一劫的说，他妈妈的探头看了我一下问我是哪里来的？说要看证件。妈的！刚好我没带皮包出来。簑！！云马上出动作，从皮包揪出马币10块。他妈的，他故意装作不好意思的样子。还轻声用马来话说我们这里有很多人，马上提高贿赂价。云马上翻白眼，那出30块藏在他的证件下面交给他，他才让我们过关！

我之后还心有余悸的在心理暗骂。。真的是malaysian POLIS Boleh!!!

1st Step

1st of all, i would like to congratulate myself for making the 1st step to start my own blog. Have been thinking abt it for a long time cos i am not a person who keeps a diary. *tried tat since young but after 1st few pages...the diary gets shorter and shorter and in the end it becomes drawings cos getting lazier to write hahaha...I really hope it wont happen to this blog, if u guys found out it becomes shorter or sloppier..pls do remind me.

And also pardon my english or chinese here cos after i think this is a blog not a editing or composition competition and i am definitely not a perfectionist :)

For ppl who doesn know me, I am Shawn. Close friends call me Shawny, Shawny boy, Horn *shawn without the S or Song *shawn without the H. I am a Taiwan zai who was borned in TW but grow up in Singapore. THis 1/2 TW 1/2 SG boy loves to travel that he decided to join the one of the biggest airlines here in Asia. I am also into chillex wz my crazy friends, la kopi, high tea, finding next good makan places, hotel n resort hunting, movie, musics, sun tanning, making last min plan for road trip or flight to everywhere. I guess life is so interesting cos it is full of surprises! U will never know what is going to happen to tomorrow. Expect the unpected-the typical merry go lucky sagittarius boy who always has wild imagination and do funny or unusual stuff!

To wrap this up, I wana thank you Jesus for what you have done for me on that cross! Thank you my family though we are so far away apart but you guys are always being missed and loved by me 24/7.
