Finally, I managed to find this heels after few months looking for it! This is the one my cousin recommended me to buy but I unable to find it in any Vincci outlets. I’ve actually gave up to look for it. Last two weeks I saw it at KLCC outlet and thank god, size 3 is available. Immediately paid and brought it home.

终于，寻寻觅觅了几个月后，我找到了这双高跟鞋。就是我表妹介绍我买，可是我找了好多间Vincci专门店都找不到的那双。我已经放弃去寻觅了。上两个星期在KLCC看到了它，静静地在摆在鞋架上。还好，三号鞋还有存货。二话不说，就付钱带回家了。

Nicole told me that HBO is recently rebroadcast “House of Wax”.

Nicole告诉我最近HBO在重播House of Wax。

Last time I was induced into cinema by this movie poster.
当初就是被这张海报骗进戏院的。

I love to watch movies. I watch romance, family, thriller, animation, action, adventure, science-fiction, comedy, horror, war, mystery, musical and crime, all sorts of movies except those art-films where I can’t understand a little bit. 

At the beginning of the movie, I thought it was just another “cheating kids” horror movie. But when the killer cut Wade’s ankle with a big scissor when chasing him, Vicki, who sat at my left side suddenly pinched my tight as if she is painful. I understood her feelings because I felt my ankle was painful as well. Another killer cut Carly’s finger with a pliers. The “Cut” sound reminded me of cutting the delicious grilled chicken wings as we usually did. Ouch, my fingers were pain! Nicole, who sat at my right side held my hand tightly. We started feeling dizzy. 

After that, Dalton tried to rescue Wade who was made into sculpture but still alive. He peeled off the wax on Wade’s face, but the skin was peeled off with the wax pieces, leaving the sticky and bloody flesh. OMG, somebody call 911, please! My face started feeling pain also. When the movie came to half way, I’ve became flabby. At the end, we could only limp out of the cinema. Bloody hell, that was the first time I watched such a “painful” movie. 

One year later, Nicole and I was about to watch “House of Wax” DVD again. But we finally decided to change to another movie after 5 mins of the show. I think I won’t have any courage to watch this movie once again for the rest of my life.

我很喜欢看电影，爱情伦理惊栗动画动作冒险科幻喜剧恐怖战争悬疑歌舞犯罪我都看，一点也不挑剔，除了那些从头到尾看十遍都不知道在演些什么的艺术电影。 

影片开始的时候，还以为只是一般骗小孩的恐怖片。一直演到变态杀人魔为了不让Wade逃走而用大剪刀“喀喳”一声剪断他的脚跟时，坐在左边的Vicki忽然用力的捏着我的大腿，想必她是心理作用觉得自己跟着痛。我明白的，因为我也觉得自己的脚跟很痛。

然后，另一个变态杀人魔用钳子剪掉Carly的手指，那种“喀喳”的声音让我想起我们时常剪开香喷喷的烤鸡翼。啊，我觉得手指也痛了。在那个时候，我和坐在右边的Nicole紧紧的握着手，两个人都开始觉得晕旋了。

再然后，Dalton要救已经被制成蜡像但还活着的Wade，他一片一片的剥开Wade脸上的蜡，谁知道蜡连着脸皮一起被剥下来，血淋淋黏答答的。救人哦，我的脸很痛。到最后，我已经瘫软在椅子上，握着和我一样无力的Nicole的手。影片结束后，我们都拖着发抖的双腿慢腾腾的走出戏院。干！第一次看戏看得那么痛，真是入戏太深了。

一直到一年多以后，有一次和Nicole重看House of Wax的DVD，影片开始5分钟后，我们就决定换片。我想我这辈子真的没有勇气再看一次这部影片了。

今天，来看看我对吃的要求。

1 喜欢的口味：
喜欢酸。吃鱼翅、鸡丝羹、“罗面”、福建面、甚至滑蛋河都会加入大量黑醋，酸得整桌的人都嗅得到；
喜欢苦。十二岁开始爱上苦瓜。生病时，可以面不改色的喝下一碗中药，吃Panadol是放在口里咬碎了才吞；
超级喜欢辣。宗旨是不要吃到吐。我吃得太辣会呕吐。我妈妈和阿姨和大舅母做的辣椒酱超好吃。如果要买现成的，“三叔公”牌的指天椒酱和Tabasco也是很美味。
喜欢咸(不要太咸)。
不太喜欢甜。看心情而吃。

2 愿意花的价钱：
根本不计较价钱。好吃的、高级餐厅、中餐西餐日本餐少数民族餐、街边小贩、快餐etc，只要我想吃，就不会看着价钱来点餐。人，是不会吃穷的。

3 喜欢的餐厅：
都喜欢，没有其他选择时才会去马来餐馆和mamak，因为从马来餐馆或mamak里走出来，等于是用油烟做完SPA。

4 喜欢的水果：
除了木瓜，其他都喜欢。腌木瓜例外，因为是酸的，木瓜味也不重。

5 喜欢的快餐：
基本上不太喜欢快餐。也是看心情而吃。A&W的Onion Ring和Curly Fries、KFC的Original Recipe炸鸡和Whipped Potato、McD的雪糕、Kenny Rogers Roasters的烤鸡和所有配菜、Pizza Hut的Island Delight、Domino’s的Hot&Spicy Chicken Wings。Burger King？我不喜欢吃面包。吃披萨都把旁边的面包丢一边。

6 喜欢的罐头食品：
All Time Favourite: Campbell’s Soup ~ Mushroom Classic
Yeo’s canned Beef Curry With Potato/Lamb Curry With Potato ~ Heat and eat with steam rice。
Adabi Heat and Eat Beef Rendang/Ayam Masak Merah (这个不是罐头，这个是包装食品)
罐头菜心、Bovril ~ 配白粥
我的晚餐常常就是这些东西。是的，我很懒，我很不健康。

7 喜欢的甜品：
看心情而吃。糖水~黑糯米/海底椰/龙眼、西米露~蜜瓜、蛋糕~巧克力口味、雪糕~巧克力或水果口味。不喜欢用香蕉或榴莲做成的蛋糕或甜品。
燕窝炖泡参(如果这个可以归类为“甜”品的话)

8 喜欢的肉类：
牛肉。

9 喜欢的海产：
什么都喜欢，只要不煮得太熟，弄得肉质硬邦邦的。芙蓉烧蟹最好吃。

10 喜欢的菜类：
没有不喜欢的。

11 喜欢的点心(一笼一笼的那种)：
虾饺。其他的只是配角，吃不吃都不用紧。

12 喜欢妈妈的哪道菜：
萝卜肉丸、梅菜、水饺、萝卜焖牛腩、炒萝卜干(菜埔)、指天椒炒咸菜、酿豆腐、酿辣椒、酿苦瓜、虾米Sambal、苦瓜炒牛肉、妈妈煲的所有汤、BBQ时腌的五香鸡翼、BBQ时做的烧鱼酱、面粉糕、糯米饭、豆角饭etc etc。(我唯一不喜欢妈妈煮的鱼)
啊，我太久没回家了。

13 可以吃多少：
每餐都吃到全饱，份量不多，可是每个两、三个小时就会开始觉得饿，八分饱对我来说等于没有吃到。最饱的记录是一餐内吃了五碗面粉糕(大碗的)。

14 最想尝试：
Fine Dining。正式的Fine Dining。Shangri-la’s的Lafite。所谓想，就是放在脑里面幻想。我还不打算在现实中出丑。

Few days ago my cousin happily ran into my room with a shoe box in her arm.

“Chui Jie Jie, see, I bought a pair of new heels at Vincci!”

Having opened the box I found that was a pair of black colour peep-toe high heels. The fluffy surface with imitated leather makes it simple yet stylish. I immediatly tried the heels on my foot.

“You may buy the brown colour one. It looks elegant but mature, not suitable for me.” my cousin said.

That night, I dreamt that I bought 5 pairs of heels at Vincci.

前几天表妹兴高采烈的拿着一个鞋盒跑到我房间。

“翠姐姐，你看我买了一双高跟鞋。”

打开鞋盒，是一对VINCCI的黑色高跟露趾美鞋。我马上就把鞋子套在自己的脚上，绒毛和皮质的鞋面，简单又时尚。

“你赶快去买同款褐色的那双吧。褐色的很高贵，只是看起来比较成熟，不适合我。”

当晚，我梦见自己在VINCCI一口气买了五对鞋子。

日本人相信猫会带来财运，所以他们有招财猫，而且越来越发扬光大。我家也有自来猫。可是我们不是日本人。中国人说：猪来贫，狗来富，自来猫儿送孝布。就是说，家里忽然跑来流浪猫，可能就会有人去世。这个说法是我在网路上查询到的。其实好多好多年前，妈妈就告诉过我：狗来财，猫来衰。这么多年来，我却从不把家里遇上的霉运怪罪在自来猫身上。

我家店屋设有两个很大的天窗。最奇怪的是，锌板屋顶并不是密封的，而是有着非常大的缝际。流浪猫时常在这些缝际间到处走，有时也许是进来我家找食物，有时也许只是经过而已。当然，更多时候它们是直接从我家后门底下的破洞钻进来。通常它们看见我们的时候都只是略为停下脚步防备一下，然后就木无表情的打我们身边经过。

中学时，有一次跟前男友去鱼塘钓回几只红非洲鱼。兴高采烈的带回家给妈妈，妈妈要我把鱼放在厨房。我把鱼放在料理台上，就直接进入厕所。没几分钟，从厕所出来，看见一直猫匆匆忙忙的逃走。我心想，干嘛那么紧张，平时不是以主人身份出入这间屋子的吗？回头一看，一袋子的非洲鱼原来已经被猫拖到地上了。

我家的自来猫不抓老鼠。它们把我家当产房。

每年的农历新年都刚好是一、二月分的大热天，我都习惯穿短裙过年。有一年新年前几个月，一只母猫进驻我家，在某个靠近我房间的角落偷偷生下几只小猫。猫虱突然在我家泛滥，每晚睡在地板上的我和妹妹首当其冲，双脚小腿被叮咬得红点密布。猫虱叮咬的后的疙瘩特别痒，真的是24小时不停的想伸手去抓，而且不像蚊子叮的疙瘩很快消退。疙瘩过后会起水泡，如果被抓破就会留下疤痕。那时的我们不得不去诊所买一种很像肥皂液的药水来涂在双腿上。那几个月后的农历新年，我第一次穿牛仔裤过年，因为20年来柔滑白净的小腿都布满一角五分的疤痕，用了半年时间才慢慢消退。

当然，曾经也有流浪狗想效仿流浪猫溜进我们家做窝。可是由于体积比较大，身手不够敏捷，通常都失败收场。而且，只要我们对它们“嘘！嘘！”几声，它们都会自动爬起身离开。

狗比猫识相。

Back in year 2000 (can’t really remember, but I’m sure it was definitely before 2001), my sister met in an accident. When her friends moved away the motorcycle fall on her, her leg has burned by motorcycle’s pipe, causing a concave on the skin (to be more disgusting, I can even imagine some of her flesh was sticking on the pipe). The wound was quite serious for a 16 years old girl. We can foresee that there would be a forever scar on my sister’s leg. 

My mother was so worry about the scar and tried many ways to reduce it. One day, we went Bahau for dinner and saw the shop-owners’ aloe vera. The plant was so big size compared to those I ever seen in my life (perhaps I didn’t have much opportunities to see others aloe vera). My mother thought that applying aloe vera on the scar would smoothen the skin or at least reduce the mark. So she bought it home. 

Well, I don’t think my sister was keen to apply aloe vera on her scar. Soon she forgot the pity plant. 

In 2004, my mother told me that her aloe vera was flowering! I thought that was her illusion. I never heard that aloe vera would flower. Anyways, just like cactus, not all aloe vera flowers, and it is a rare case. My mother didn’t take good care of the plant. She just left it at our dirty balcony, directly expose under sunlight, seldom water, and even never apply fertilizer, thus I don’t know what makes my mother’s plant survive and even starts flowering. 

My mother told me it has flowered for few times. The first time was during my brother and my graduation. The second and third time was during my two sisters’ graduation. To my mother, the aloe vera flower is a sign of fortune. Perhaps I can also say our joyous occasions causing it flowering. 

Last week I went back to hometown and saw it flowered again. This time my brother is getting married.

2000年，我妹妹发生了一场车祸(不太记得年份了，可是确定是2001年以前)。她朋友把压在她身上的电单车搬开时，她的小腿上已经被电单车的排气管烫伤了，从侧面看，皮肤很明显地凹了下去(我还很恶心的想像到她的一块皮肤黏在热烫的排气管上)。对一个16岁的少女来说，一块将近一尺长的伤口是很严重了。我们可以预见那道疤痕将永远贴在我妹妹的小腿上。

我娘最担心那道疤痕，想尽办法要把它除去(我们自然没有考虑植皮手术这种高消费的方法)。有一晚，我们在马口吃晚餐，看见店家放在院子里的芦荟。我从来都没有看过这么大尺码的芦荟(有可能我以前都没什么机会看见芦荟)。我娘想到把芦荟的果肉涂在疤痕上可以让皮肤光滑，至少，也该可以消减疤痕。所以她就跟店家买下那盆肥芦荟了。

我妹妹也不怎么积极用芦荟来涂疤痕，没多久这可怜的植物就被遗忘了。

一直到2004年，我娘跟我说她的芦荟开花了！开花？开玩笑吧？我以为是她看错了，我都没听过芦荟会开花的。然而，就像仙人掌一样，虽然不常发生，可是芦荟还是会开花的。我真是见识少。我妈从来都没有好好照顾她的芦荟，就怎么把它放在肮脏的露台上，每天被太阳曝晒，又不常浇水，更不曾施肥，我怎么也想不出这盆植物是怎样活到现在，还开起花来。

我妈说它到现在已经开了几次花了。第一次是我和我哥毕业时，第二第三次是我两个妹妹毕业时。对我妈来说，芦荟开花代表了好运。也许我该说，是家里的喜事让它开花吧。

上个星期回家看见它又开花了。这次是我哥哥将要结婚了。

生在药材店，从小生吞药材长大，我家的老鼠可是长得比一般人家里的老鼠健硕。

由7岁开始，一直到24岁以前，我都住在店屋。每晚睡在地板上的垫褥，我几乎是“与鼠共眠”。有时将睡未睡，身边的橱底下一阵悉悉嗦嗦，我知道那又是老鼠经过它的必经路线，正赶往觅食。

朋友有时来我家，听到杂物间突如其来的叽哩咕噜声。老鼠在戏闹呢！日正当午，听见叩叩声的朋友都吓得不敢移动。你家有“肮脏东西”吧？朋友都说。嗯，我从未觉得老鼠是什么干净的东西。有一晚在客厅看电视，看见一只体积不算小的老鼠从架子后飞奔而出，然后像蜘蛛人一样，贴在墙壁上“跑”往阁楼。我是说真的，90度直上直下的墙壁。我当时愣在那里，原来，这就是江湖上几乎失传的“飞檐走壁”绝技。

妹妹一直到五年级还是戒不掉奶瓶。有一次奶瓶掉在床底下的角落，哭闹了整天。奶瓶被打捞起来时，奶嘴被老鼠咬破一个大洞。从那天起，妹妹戒掉了奶瓶。

小时候婆婆时常用捕鼠工具来灭鼠。粘在粘鼠板的老鼠，通常都被婆婆乱棍殴毙；捕鼠笼里的，就会被滚烫的热水活活淋死。我蹲在旁边目击老鼠的双眼流出血，死后仍然僵硬的抓着笼子。曾经放过一个老鼠夹，也许是夹子冲力太大，整个老鼠的头都夹断了。后来用了毒药，老鼠服了毒，死在地点不详的角落中，足足臭了一个星期。家里唯一没试过的，是生物学灭鼠法，比如在家里养老鹰、猫头鹰或蛇。

几年前非常流行饲养小仓鼠。前男友家里养了几只，每次我将葵花子一颗一颗往笼里塞，它们就一面伸手接一面往嘴里塞。进了嘴里的葵花子都塞在腮帮子，回到窝里全都吐出来藏在木屑中。我跑回家跟妈妈反映一下，说我要养仓鼠。

“嫌家里老鼠不够多是不是？” 一句话，四两拨千金。

“也对啦。搞不好仓鼠带回家养了几天就失踪，一个礼拜后发现它在夜里跟着你家的黑老鼠出来偷吃药材。” 前男友对败诉的我说。

It was 8pm and I still not feeling hungry. But I can’t leave my stomach empty otherwise I would suffer from gastric later on. Finally I decided to buy some bun or some sausage to make myself a light dinner.

My housemate and I went to mini market and bought some pork slices, golden needle mushroom, corn, chicken sausage, and an apple for myself.

I marinate the pork with different seasoning. Some with black pepper powder, some with mixed herbs, and some with sesame oil and oyster sauce which taste the best among the three. The mushroom are rolled in the marinated pork slices and sent into oven to roast for 10mins. Well, the final result didn’t disappoint us.

Roasted golden needle mushroom in pork slice + steamed corn + roasted sausage, I used to have weird dinner. But I enjoy what I’ve made, even though most of the time I only heard critics from people about my cooking skill.

晚上八点多了，我还是一点都不饿。我知道自己一直都有胃痛，所以就算不饿，我还是得勉强吃些什么。终于，我决定出去买面包或一些香肠来当作晚餐。

我和室友在迷你市场买了猪肉片、金针菇、玉粟黍、鸡肉香肠还有一颗拿来当甜品的苹果。

我用了不同的调味料来腌猪肉片。一些撒上黑胡椒粉，一些撒上香草，一些涂上麻油和蚝油。然后金针菇就卷在这些猪肉片送进烤箱里。最终的成果发现蚝油的最好吃，烤出来的酱汁被我室友拿去淋在饭里“汁都捞埋”。

用来腌肉的香草。
Mixed herbs to marinate the pork.

烤出来的东西。颜色不怎么令人开胃。
The final result. Its colour is not appetizing.

猪肉卷金针菇+蒸玉粟黍+烤香肠，我常常就是吃这些怪怪的晚餐。可是我从来都很欣赏自己煮出来的东西，虽然大部分时候都被人家踩得一文不值。

During my study in Melaka, I stayed with some classmates in a rented corner lot terrace house. Eleven of us occupied the whole house with 4 rooms.

 

One of the memorable moments is our revision before exam. My housemates are hardworking except me. They usually started revision one month before the exam, and the situation went horrible one week before exam. Yes, horrible, until I was so scare and so pressure to look at them.

 

Everyone was carrying study guides (text book) on her hands to memorize the contents. Some likes to walk around the house and some likes to sit like a stone in front of the table while memorizing. Some likes to lock themselves in the room to study without any disturbance. Everyone (except me) fight until the last second before we really need to get into the classroom for exam.

 

I especially fear to go near Sok Fang’s room. Mattresses has rolled up and moved to a corner of the room. Basically the mattresses are no longer needed during the last week before exam because she doesn’t need to sleep anymore. Sok Fang’s roommates, Wendy and Yee Yen retreated from the room and temporary move to my room, leaving her a peaceful environment. I guess both of them also scare to look at Sok Fang.

 

My roommate, Siow Chin is the only one who dares to join Sok Fang in the revision. Both of them stayed in the room to study like hell. Past year papers and notes spread around the room. They usually sleep for around 10 minutes, 20 minutes at most when they got really tired. There was once I stepped in the room, and saw their face were as green as the door’s color and dark circles were so deep until both of them looked like ghost.

 

“Yes?” They asked.

 

“Uuh, nothing already.” I left the room as fast as I can. 

 

In order to keep themselves awaken, they once used a very sick method – bite small chilis and applied the source on their lips. “We felt really shocking awaken, but immediately felt very sleepy after 10 minutes when the effect has over.” Sok Fang told us.

 

Crazy! Well, that explain why they are top students, while I always fail my subjects.

 

以前在马六甲念书时，我和一群同学住在一间租来的排屋。我们十一个女生就占下了整间四房的屋子。

其中一个很难忘的事情就是我们在考试前的温习。

除了我之外，其他人都是很用功读书的。考试前一个月，她们已经开始复习，考试前一个星期，情况已经变得非常恐怖。是的，是“恐怖”，恐怖得我根本不敢看她们，一看就觉得很有压力。每个人手上都拿着教科书，有的在屋子里一面走一面背书，有的喜欢像化石一样坐在书桌前背书，有的会把自己锁在房间里不愿受到一点打扰。每个人人(还是除了我)都战斗到踏入考场前的最后一秒。

那段时间，我特别害怕走近淑芳的房间。基本上考试前一个星期她已经根本不需要睡觉，床褥被卷起来推到角落里了。她的两个室友宛茹和玉燕也撤退到我的房间暂住，留给淑芳一个安静念书的环境。我猜，她们其实也和我一样很怕看见淑芳念书的样子。

只有我的室友小琴才愿意和淑芳一起关在房间里一起作地狱式的温习。历年考卷和笔记散落在房里四周。一直到她们真的累得没什么力气继续背书时，她们才睡上10分钟，最多20分钟。有一次我走进她们房间里，看见两个人的脸色象门的颜色一样青绿，黑眼圈深得蔓延到脸颊，两个人像幽灵一样抬头看着我。

“什么事？”她们问。

“呃，没事了。”我用最快的速度离开那间房。

为了让自己保持情醒，她们曾用上非常变态的方法─把指天椒放在嘴里咬，然后把辣椒的汁液涂在嘴唇上。“我们马上觉得精神奕奕，可是十分钟后，辣的感觉过了，立刻又觉得眼睡了。”淑芳说。

真是精神有病！所以她们是top student，而我考试总是不及格。

I always see people posting shoutout in friendster. Many of the them are shouting that they’ve recovered from sorrows. Yes, some of them are really yelling because they use a lot of CAPITAL LETTERS and put many exclamation marks!!!!

Some examples:

“THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS bringing back my SMILES to ME!!!”
“My tears has stopped falling!!! sunshine comes back into my world!!”
“from now onwards, you are not important to me ANYMORE!!”
“Just get away!! I CAN LIVE HAPPILY without YOU”
“The earth is still spinning without you at my side.”
“No matter how long is the night, the sun will still rise soon; No matter how much suffer you gave me, they are now become history…”
“I will KEEP MOVING, leaving you from my life!!”

Well, for me, all these are bullshits. At least, most of them are bullshits. Everyone has sorrows, everyone knows the above theory. All the suffering pasts are just like a dust or smoke if you have really get through it. These sorrows has now became so light to be blown away by only a single short sigh. Those who’ve really recovered from pain, will not shout out to the world.

The louder they shout, the lesser they could let go the past.

时常在Friendster看到别人张贴呼喊(Shoutout)。其中有很多人都是呼喊他们已经从痛苦中活过来。对，他们真的是大声喊着说的，因为一个句子里就用上了一堆的大字母和感叹号！！！

比如：

“谢谢我所有的朋友把微笑带回给我！！！”

“眼泪不再掉落！！！阳光又重回我的世界了！！”

“从现在开始，你对我一点都不再重要！！”

“给我滚得远远的！！没有你，我一样可以活得很开心”

“你不在我身边，地球还是一样的转动”

“不管夜晚多长，太阳总有升起的时候；不管你给的痛苦多深，都已经成为历史…”

“我会继续往前走，把你留在我的世界之外！！”

然而，对我来说，这些全都是废话。至少，大部分都是废话。痛苦的过去谁没有？那些道理谁不懂？你要是真正从过去走出来，所有痛苦的过去都是烟尘，轻得一声短促的叹息就能吹走。不再痛苦的人，是不会对着世界大喊大叫的。

有一句话叫作“欲盖弥彰”。喊得越大声，越是没办法放开过去。

My friendster shoutout. I only add those I know.
我的Friendster呼喊。我只add我认识的人。
