上个周末，很多国人在Bukit Jalil体育馆亢奋激情地呐喊，与此同时，有无数无数……的国人在心中悲愤地怒啸。

黑色星期四
紧急通告：
以后适逢星期四，有事无事请不要出门，因为常常会碰到要命的Jusco Day！人家十一点打开门做生意，可是买鬼早上八点就出发了！
我在中午时间到ss2办点事，原本打算过后到珍珠白沙罗去，结果因为见证了露天停车场而打道回府，堵车原因是：黑色星期四！！
害我背个三公斤的老爷电脑走了冤枉路！

迷你演唱会
托老帅哥的福，昨晚有机会亲身经历了一场令人震撼的迷你演唱会。
身为主人的老帅哥本来应该尽地主之宜高歌一曲，岂料老帅哥和我一样不敢大展鸡喉，只好委屈我家男人反客为主先以歌敬歌（手）。
然后佩岑姐首度开声，老帅哥已被迷得神魂颠倒了。我听着佩岑姐唱《花若离枝》，男人一直在旁嘀咕，是不是和星光大道的李千娜唱的相差十万八千里？
过后是台烟姐开声，唱的是她的歌曲（嗯，我竟然忘了曲目），这回轮到我神魂颠倒了。男人说，她只很随意地唱而已，你是不是已经感受到了她的震撼力？
她们一直说大哥唱歌很好听，李明德唱歌的时候我觉得他的声线和张学友很相似，正在纳闷怎么有凡人可以唱得那么好？然后，他唱了自己的歌曲《一天天 一点点》的时候，我们才惊觉他是歌手，男人说，在电台的时候曾经播过他的歌，真没想到是他！
大哥唱《黄昏》的时候，我差点……差点……晕了。对不起，我又要得罪人了，张栋梁请靠边站。对了，就是味道（kui kao），黄韵玲在《星光大道》中一直强调的kui kao，现代歌手当中很难找到的味道。大哥过后又唱刀朗的歌，我家男人他再也不敢献丑了。
佩岑姐的声线和张清芳有些相似，她的优点是声音可以跨越很多年代，她唱《隐形的翅膀》也让我听出耳油。
台烟姐的声音懒洋洋，极具特色，一开声早已融化了我。但是，台烟姐是属于我们的年代的。
我希望佩岑姐唱她自己的歌，该死的卡拉Ok没有她的歌；我希望台烟姐唱《想你的夜》，该死的卡拉Ok没有这首歌……我希望听李明德大哥唱黄大炜的《你把我灌醉》 ，可是佩岑姐说《爱情酿的酒》比较好。
迷你演唱会在欢愉的《爱情初体验》 《热情的沙漠》中结束。
佩岑姐问我怎么认识老帅哥？我说，嗯，嗯……通过一位医生朋友的旧曲重温部落格（我没说医生朋友也是通过部落格认识），她说，你们马来西亚人好热情哦，我们台湾都没有这些粉丝。当然，像老帅哥这样长情又有小钱的粉丝我也是第一次见过。

Bad experiences in Hanoi
It is indeed our fault as we planned the trip at the eleventh hour (I doubt if we could use the word "plan", in fact, we did not plan, it's kind of doing nothing after making decision, haha), 3 weeks prior to the departure date. No information has been gathered except the very brief information on the tourist spots by my friend. The hotel reservation has been made few hours prior to our arrival. I have no idea about the country, the only thing I know about the country is Mekong River, I could probably recall my geography teacher mentioned about it 20 years ago.
Why Hanoi?
Our target destination was ASEAN Country, Hanoi is the farthest place that we could think of, cousin brother has an office over there so we thought of joining him over the trip. To me, I chose Hanoi mainly because of the awesome water puppet show.
When we were in the aircraft, I was astonished while listening to the announcement by captain saying the weather in Hanoi was 35°C. I always think Vietnam experiences a tropical climate like Malaysia, and I am absolutely wrong!
We stayed up late every night before the trip, we even packed our luggage in the midnight though we had to catch the morning flight. You can imagine how busy and tired we were! Our initial plan was going there and had a good rest in the hotel. But who knows the weather was damn hot and most of the hotels' air conditioning were not functioning well, ended up we were suffering in the hotels all the time, and I did not have a good sleep for the entire trip, sigh!
We did not know if cousin bro was going to meet us up as he was pretty busy, hence we decided to book the tours on our own. We opined the 1 week holidays was a bit long for us, so the whole week was occupied by different kind of tours!
We were so hungry and tired after booking the tours, we walked and walked but couldn't find any restaurant but Little Hanoi. We had our dinner there, 2 bowls of white rice with sweet sour chicken soup and soy pork soup cost us USD１８，gosh，I consider it as an unscrupulous service provider.
We started with the city tour, we were picked up by a very short lady with a taxi (Not the tour bus!!) The tour guide couldn't speak English and she didn't even bother to explain to us (In fact, she doesn't have any knowledge at all) on the tourist attraction, her main role was calling a taxi to pick us up and throw us at the destination. The weather was so hot and I couldn't even breath properly. We decided to go back to the hotel after lunch, and the short lady asked me to take a stroll back to the hotel under the hot sun!! We thought we could have a good rest in the hotel, but the aircond was not cool at all, the temperature in the room was exactly the same as outside temparature, it was 38°C ! The worst part was I didn't bring any casual wear except the silk pajamas, it was like staying in an oven, almost going crazy!
The 2nd day tour to Hua Lu was not bad as we had a young tour guide who can speak Mandarin, there were 1 couple from Malaysia and another couple from Indonesia with us. It was quite fun but still spoilt by the boatmen, they kept asking for money, drinks and kept selling very poor quality thingy to us!
The tour to Ha Long Bay was quite torturing as well though the scene is superb! I gathered I might have a good sleep on the boat, unfortunately the air temperature in the room was pretty high too! The boatmen cut down the electric supply early in the morning, so wash and dress had to be done in the dark! Again, we met an irresponsible tour guide and we decided to shorten our 3-day trip to 2 days.
We were then told by an Australian tourist that the temparature in Hanoi before our arrival was even up to 45°C, it has never been so hot in Vietnam history. Also, we were advised by one of the Vietnamese that the tour agent that we engaged is one of the worst in Hanoi!
Sounds like we had a very bad trip in Hanoi? Ha, not really, our wonderful experiences began since we met Lain ……

原来它也风光过
在电脑的back up空间里发现了一些曾经拍摄而被遗忘了的旧照，看着这张照片，才惊觉原来它也曾风光过。
Sony Cybershot在好几年前刚推出的时候，我们以马币2000购买了该台相机，却由于功能复杂而鲜少使用。一年过后，相机出现了问题。五年后的今天，相机已经奄奄一息，总是拍出偏蓝朦胧的照片，我们对它已经哀莫大于心死。
如今，我们拥有了Canon 500D，河内之旅的拍摄重担就交由500D来胜任了。
Sony Cybershot正式被我们冷藏，即使它也曾风光过。
戒照
年纪轻的时候，每到一处旅游，都兴致勃勃地想留下自己的倩影。那时候的自己瘦巴巴的，虽然拍照不上镜，但也没和丑这个字眼扯上关系。
28岁过后的暴肥，已经不敢望向镜中的自己。从此，也戒了拍照这回事。
那是因为照中的自己痴肥得比母猪还糟糕，凤眼吊得比关公还高，化了桩比那些没化妆的照得更憔悴。
爱美的女人没办法接受残酷的事实。
河内之行，有人千方百计逗我照相，我说，为何我年轻貌美的时候你不成全我？待我丑成这个样子了才要我拍照来吓人？

记忆力
我从来不知道自己有超强的记忆力，至到这几年。
有一次，一片云说某人很厉害，可以很快地记牢整二三十几个学生的名字。我说，这很普通嘛，才二三十个，我只要看过学生的名字一次，基本上就可以记得。我当升学辅导员的时候，手头上有几百个案子，除了巫印裔同胞的名字我可能需要refer，其他的我几乎不需要看也不会写错学生的名字。 我还很会认声音，几年没联络的客户突然打电话来，我也很快地把她叫出来。
我一直觉得每个人都和我一样。我也很纳闷为什么有人可以不认得路？从左左右左的转弯进去，出来的时候不就是右右左右就是了，为什么会记不得？
有一次，小姨丈说他来吉隆坡都要指定我向他指路，因为我说得很清楚，几乎就是一个GPS。他还说，要记得如此清楚，必须有超强的记忆力。我才如雷灌顶，原来我有超强的记忆力，而我一直不知道。（原来不能认路的 人是记忆力不好）
在面子书遇到当年曾经同过班却不曾熟络的同学们，我很快地告诉她们我们在哪一年同过班，她们问我怎么记得如此清楚？呵呵，我连小学一年级到中六的每一年班级及全级排名都记得一清二楚。
可是，最近因为年纪大了，琐碎的事情太多，我会常常一转头就会忘了东西放哪里。以前的事务却不曾忘记过，这是老人痴呆症的预兆吗？
还有一件很遗憾的事，我的超强记忆力始终无法发挥在啃书方面，否则，当年我就可以无书自通了。

Ignore
面子书里头有很多心理测验啊这样的玩意，我没有时间玩（其实是更害怕自己着迷），也不流行送bear-bear、花儿、食物或hug朋友，但是想到朋友盛意拳拳地邀请我或者给我一个拥抱，就不好意思ignore（总觉得这样ignore别人的邀请好像很rude），或许哪天我得空了也可以测试一下。对于拥抱，我则满怀欢喜地接受了。
这就好像当初朋友转发说教或迷信（比如你不转发，三天内会面临死亡）的chain emails一样，我虽然不喜欢阅读此类邮件，但是想到朋友盛意拳拳地转发了，也会待有空的时候去看看内容。对于会面临死亡的邮件，虽然我不再转发去“恐吓”别人，但是也没责怪给我发chain email的朋友，毕竟，死亡是人类最害怕的事情，我自己就很怕死。
而我，通常很少对朋友发出此类的邀请。真的发出invitation，就表示需要朋友支持了。
然后，很不幸地，我看到了朋友们一个个按上ignore的button。
那天在朋友的party和久违的大学同学萍叙旧，她说离开电视台的光环之后就看到了所谓的人情冷暖。啊，我忘了补充，即使还没离开，有人也“有幸”地尝到了。
对于没有按上ignore button的格友，请接受我对你们衷心的感谢。
p/s: 题外话，我比较不喜欢用ignore这个字眼，我比较喜欢澳洲人的用法：disregard。
