Lars and the Real Girl

~ The search for true love begins outside the box ~

忘了听谁说过这部影片，回家后偶然下寻获它马上下载来观看。故事是讲述一名很内向不善于交际男人在网上订购了一个充气娃娃，并将‘她’当成真人来看待，照顾‘她’的衣食起居。他身边的人都认为他患有精神病，心理医师也诊断说他有delusion，尽管如此，大家却也很配合的像对待真的人一样般对待‘她’。‘她’的出现，使男主角变得开朗许多，且和邻里有了更密切的来往。最后，男主角似乎也意识到了自己真正要的是什么，真正的爱是怎样的。

挺有趣的一部小品。 勇气，不是我们面对爱情时所需要的东西吗？它或许一开始时少的让人没自信，但人是能学会勇敢的。=)

Can A Family Man With Salary RM3,000 Survive In Malaysia ...!

朋友forward了一封蛮有意思的email给我，在这里和大家，尤其是大马人分享。

Can a family man with Salary RM3,000 survive in Malaysia ?

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is RM3,000 /month(where father works, mother doesn't). I understand there are many families whosemonthly income does not reach RM3,000,but, to make things simple,let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right? Okay, let's start rolling with a family which hasPapa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...

Electricity and water bill: RM100(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)
Phone bill ( Telekom): RM100
Meals for a happy family: RM775(3 meals on RM25/day, RM25 for 4 persons...?)
Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs: RM155(RM5/day, RM5 .... can eat what?)
Car repayment: RM400(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)
Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam): RM300(go to work, bring son to school,only can afford one car running)
Insurance: RM650(kids, wife and myself)
House repayment: RM750(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs,retired still have to work to pay!)
Tuition: RM80(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)
Older children pocket money @ school: RM20(RM1/day, eat bread?)
School fees: RM30(enough ah?)
School books and etc: RM100(always got extra to pay in school)
Younger children milk powder: RM50(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)
Miscellaneous: RM100(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...No Astro,no movie @ cinema,no DVD,no CD,no online,cannot KFC,cannot McDonald,cannot go Park walk during weekend (petrol expensive),no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...

Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! Shit! RM3,610 already... EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........oledi RM3,610 .... How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle? How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study? Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month!!! What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh... Sorry ... it should beMalaysians Boleh , because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎

Bonnie, 一位我在NZ背包时认识的台湾女生，两年多后我们在马来西亚又相聚了！由于她这次来马主要的目的是找我请她吃satay，拿潜水课程及爬神山(Mt. Kinabalu), 所以她大部分的时间会呆在东马。我邀了曾在马六甲念书的Justine一起带Bonnie到古城逛逛，吃遍马六甲的美食！

我们边走边吃边等雨停，美食当前，我们都忘了要照相，筷子伸出夹了食物就快速的送入口中，谁能抗拒大马没事的诱惑啊？！所以呢，都没拍到食物的照片，哈哈 XD 当然，我也顺道带了相机到古城试试照照相。









总结一下在古城吃的美食：古城鸡饭粒，Nyonya BaBa style Chendol, 葡萄牙村的葡式烧鱼及招牌炸Sotong，Cheese & Garlic Nan, Tandori Chicken, Teh Tarik, Satay Celup, 葡式蛋塔。

Bonnie 超爱吃水果地说，她说啊马来西亚水果很便宜，有些台湾还找不到呢，所以她每天都要吃四种水果！ =.=

古城后，就带她到我的家乡新山走走，因为她接下来要到Sabah的班机是从新山起飞的，否则我也不会建议她到这鸟不生蛋的商业区逛，幸好她真的真的是志在美食，哈哈。新山美食行多亏了Miss Gwen的指导，，新山哪有什么好吃的她都晓得！我本来只是打算介绍位新朋友给她认识，大家人多一点比较好玩，没想到她可是位老饕！托她的福，我们到市中心某pasar后面的小巷吃了很好吃的烧鱼、sotong、炒果条、蚝煎、烤鸡翅、六味汤。接着隔天到tampoi吃肉骨茶，然后才送Bonnie到机场。

这一趟吃了好多啊！！（胖了胖了 T_T ) Bonnie看起来也很享受每一样我们介绍的美食，直说“好好吃哦！好好吃哦！”。





好啦，祝她接下来到东马有个愉快之旅。=D

一场梦

我是那种醒了就不记得刚刚自己做了什么梦的那种类型，意识很确定的告诉自己，嗯，我刚才作了一场梦，但若要回想梦境的内容或谁的出现，则会越想越忘得一干二净，这应该是正常的吧？（希望是。。）

那天早晨我起身，睁开眼望着天花板，脑里追索着刚刚的梦境，我。。竟然没忘记，还依稀记得一些些。觉得挺神奇的，难道是什么启示还是忠告呢？

在梦里，我，有个男朋友。

他拥有一张不熟悉的脸，印象中长得英俊挺拔，绅士般的有礼，好青年的样子。当时，我好像在搬家，他开着辆骄车载我到我家然后帮我打包行李。在梦境里我知道他是我的男朋友，可是却又带些不确定，丝丝的猜疑他对我是否真心。我们并没有亲密接触，但我们能如家人般的沟通，不会感到拘束。当时的我生着病，他很体贴的在旁陪伴我。

打包好行李搬上车后，住在隔壁的邻居也刚号要出门，铁门一打开只见一位非常漂亮的女生走出来，她和我梦里的男友四目交际，他们俩顿时愣了一下，我看着他们俩，我知道，他们认识的。我没说什么，开了门上车，让他们俩叙叙旧。很奇妙的，我关上门在车里仍能听见他们的对话。。。
女：你，爱了吗？
男：嗯。。爱了，还很爱。她生病，我陪她回来搬东西。。。
当时的我心里在想，男人，他们没说出口并不代表他们不在乎。 女人，却是不时需要肯定及安抚的，你今天对她说了“我爱你”，她在十天后仍会开始怀疑你还爱不爱她。女人，真是麻烦的动物。。哈哈

之后，我就被人叫醒了，梦也结束了。
