The quarter life crisis

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn’t know and may or may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are realizing that too and are not really cold or catty or mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you would be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and are scared.

You miss the comforts of college, of groups, of socializing with the same people on a constant basis. But then you realize that maybe they weren’t so great after all. You are beginning to understand yourself and what you want and do not want.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging a bit more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and add things to your list of what is acceptable and what is not. You are insecure and then secure.

You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.

You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough to get to know better.

You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic.

You go through the same emotions and questions over and over and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans and money and the future and making a life for yourself and while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

婚礼的祝福

20091206 Chiew Li's Wedding
(Sabak Bernam --- Sitiawan)




手挽手的幸福
一辈子的承诺
 祝俩百年好合


*******最深的祝福*******

吃喝玩乐

20091205那天,一群热血青年展开了一场终极行动,誓必一路向南,边吃边玩,再往最终的目的地落脚,为好友的婚礼作准备。

一大清早兴致勃勃的一行人从槟岛出发,三辆车子满缸汽油载满人和行李,开始往目标前进。在槟威大桥可以望见阳光明媚风和日丽的天空,先告知目的地的朋友,[嘿!我们大概十个小时后才会到哦。]


第一站:Jawi 爪夷
是否那么迫不及待,所以队友一个不小心推倒了一台脚车,然后,停在旁边的脚车一台接一台的倒下,让洗碗安娣白了一眼。这是题外话,主题是要品尝这里闻名的潮州菜糕,一家不起眼的点心店铺卖着皮薄馅靓现蒸现卖的韭菜和沙葛菜糕,一盘两个菜糕,吃起来还真的有亲切的潮州味道。


















第二站:Kuala Kangsar 江沙
不知道是谁的主意要把江沙例入行程内,半饱的菜糕早餐,促使一行人还想要吃第二餐,所以就带大家去到悦来海南老茶餐室吃吃典型海南蒸/烤面包和海南茶。悦来本是著名包点和海南鸡扒,奈何得等到下午才开始售卖,所以算大家无缘咯。



























接着到江沙的典型路线就是绕王宫一圈,那里有几栋著名的建筑物如霹雳王宫博物馆回教堂,大家停驻在马来西亚数一数二美丽的回教堂前留影。


















一伙人再驱车前往Enggor宁罗的Victoria Bridge游览一番。去到哪里,突然画面好像回到爸爸年轻时期的时候,一伙人也是在这个多年失修的火车道上留下青春的一面。只是走在这条火车轨道上需要特别小心,避免叉错脚踩空掉在火车路上,而下面正是马路。偶尔有摩多车经过身边的火车道,给我们一群人叫喊声搞得热闹起来。


















接着,再前往Sungai Siput和丰想要购买著名的萨骑马一尝,结果给安娣说我们来得太迟了,萨骑马早已卖完,唉呀。



















第三站:Ipoh 怡保
继续下一站到怡保体育馆小贩中心吃滑嫩嫩的成记香港猪肠粉,那是从小吃到大的味道,有了情意结。填饱肚子之余,突然间刮起大风像要下大雨,也因由时间的关系,结果Kellie Castle凯利古堡的行程被逼取消了。


















第四站:Kampar 金宝
继上一次的Gua Tempurung椰壳洞探险之旅完毕后一群人来Kampar金宝游记吃面包鸡,而这次一群人是慕名蛋挞而来,谁知游记和金陵的蛋挞都卖完了,只恨我们再一次来得太迟。


第五站:Teluk Intan 安顺
匆匆告别了金宝小镇,一路向南经过了漫长路途崎岖的道路来到了Teluk Intan安顺,道地朋友立即带我们到安顺斜塔一游,第二次重游旧地了解斜塔历史,匆匆留影后一群人浩浩荡荡去到啰喳仔小档口吃到了著名啰喳再前往团购。香饼店铺老板娘看我们一行人买了不少,就阔达的送了我们两大包新鲜出炉的香饼,这是多么浓厚的人情味啊。
















接着是安顺旅程指定傍晚才开店的猪肠粉,果然不负众望,十多双筷子像饿鬼般把那美味的安顺猪肠粉一扫而空。


















第六站:Sabak Bernam 沙白安南
欢乐的时光过得特别快,最终目的地终于到达了,只是为时天色已晚,好友等到颈项都长了。养精蓄锐,为最美丽的明天做准备...

一起去旅行 之 合艾 Hat Yai

20091127-1128 Hat Yai 2D1N Trip

Day1
朦朦胧胧的凌晨和家人踏上了合艾的旅程,一路在摇晃的巴士上睡了又醒醒了又睡;终于在马钟早上六点到达了马泰关卡。



















排队入境前发现原来盖护照的时候需要给关卡人员贴士(马币两元),听到眼睛都大了。我身后还有一大排的旅游巴士一大群人,每个人两元那么好赚?



















过了关卡上了巴士发觉多了一个泰国华侨导游,他口操潮州话和传统老一辈人的华语,一路上向我们解释泰国的旅游景点,然后他说,要带我们去吃早餐... 早餐... 竟然是鸡饭!大同白斩鸡淋豆瓣酱,很咸。



















一路上发觉合艾的电线真的有够乱水,如果真的有一条电线那么刚好断了,维修人员该如何下手呢?



















跟旅行团的典型路线一就是团购,什么腰豆鱿鱼燕窝蜂蜜纪皮革念品的,安娣们可就高兴的去扫货,难为我们这些年轻人...



















为了不要让行程闷掉,我们发挥了人类的本性,找吃的去!惊喜的是吃到冰冷的燕窝椰子令人精神爽朗,还有不可错过的层层叠酸菊冰,面包椰子冰淇淋番薯丁糯米atapchi花生椰子冰淇淋,正!(要买的时候还担心吃了会不会肚子痛)



















跟旅行团的典型路线二就是神庙,不过这个山顶上的观音庙还是真的值得一游(巴士在半山没力,我们可是经历险境才到达的,呼~)。从山上仰望而下是合艾的全景,围着观音像的是一排又一排的大钟,上面刻着泰文的经文,上香后要沿着第一个钟敲到最后一个钟,据说,每敲一次钟就代表念一遍经文。



















午餐时间就到众人皆知的 Lee Garden Plaza Hotel 33楼吃自助餐,马币十五元有普通的饭菜,也有具有泰国特色的食物。拿食物的时候,发觉自己好像身在马来西亚,来来回回身边的人都说着华语广东福建话。从33楼望着合艾城市,有一望无际的感觉。



















酒店门口停着许多嘟嘟车,司机们一直在招手叫你上车。趁着回酒店放下行李的时间到附近的商店街道走走逛逛,也试了一些泰国小食(越来越勇敢尝试)



















下一站是最期待的 Klong Hae 水上市场,当然这里比不上曼谷的美丽,但也据有特色,卖的都是泰国小食(大多是马币两元)。来到这里,可以看见人人手上都有一支竹筒,其实那是用来装椰水的杯,喝完可以带回家做纪念。而且,椰水真的很椰!棒!(只是冰块太多)



















在这里,游客走在河岸边,小贩们坐在舢板上。担心拿不到食物?免惊,他们有特别武器,一手交钱一手交货。这里真的有太多太多的小食,便宜又好吃。不要吃的话还可以上岸去逛逛卖衣服的小档口,T恤便宜到烂。

















适逢马来西亚公共假期,这个水上市场真的是人山人海,河岸边给鞋子踩到烂泥处处,行动可要步步为营。再一次在这里觉得,我是真的在泰国么?为什么身边来来去去都是马来西亚人?



















时候不早,赶下一场去 Hansa Cafe 看人妖秀,马币五十元包晚餐和看表演,稍嫌贵了些。晚餐在一个大厅里,放眼望去,还是一堆马来西亚人一边在吃一边在喧哗。这一顿晚餐也不简单,是蛮不错的大鱼大肉,Tom Yam 很多料,不错。



















吃饱饱后就到观众席看表演,人妖表演原来就是这么一回事啊?一班人妖打扮得漂漂亮亮笑容满面上台跳舞对嘴唱歌,当中有几个搞笑的人妖穿插表演,还跑下台严重非礼观众,啼笑皆非。平平无奇的表演结束离席后,发现那一群人妖已经在大门恭候。本以为在台上看到美美的人妖,原来在近距离是那么的... (不愿置评)。他们很聪明的涌上来想要勾肩搭背和你合照收贴士,手里还蛮醒目的用一张马币五元打底。



















坐嘟嘟车回酒店后,争取时间到附近的夜市逛街买东西吃小食喝椰水。这么一走,爱上了这里的热闹气氛,也爱上了这里的7-11。


Day2
早餐在酒店里随便吃一些填肚子,然后到早市走走买东西吃。清早的合艾早市有的是满满人潮和繁忙交通,还有游客在讨价还价购物的声音。



















这里卖的大多都是华人的小食,垂涎三尺买了一些来品尝。然后看到所谓可以吃的蟑螂,靠,真的很大只!



















重游 Lee Garden Plaza 发现了这个 idea market 跳蚤市场,小小摊子卖的都是精致可爱的手做品,琳琅满目实在太叫人喜欢了。在商场里血拼吃了 McDonald Samurai Pork Burger 后满载而归。(这里的麦当劳套餐实在是大份)



















行李装的都是两天一夜拼回来的干粮,大多是妈妈的战利品,但是最后还是会落在我们的口里。



















当然少不了这次的一起去旅行之全家福上场咯。
