Penang Bridge Marathon #2

Hey, Im back from Penang Bridge Marathon. As blogged earlier, i took part in women open half marathon (21km). It was really a challenge for me as firstly i never took part in this kind of race before, secondly i was treated as sick kid since young.

'my number'

3 of us (EZ, WM & i) joined the event, we were there since 3am for warm up preparation although our turn will be started on 3.45am. Before this we went to the mobile washroom. Ya is mobile, this is my first time to use mobile toilet i can say. First of all, we have to ensue the chip is tightly tied on our foot to record out timing. So i can say this is an individual race, the medal and cert will be rewarded for those who completed the race within the perscribed time. Therefore, we were told to ensure we step on the map from the beginning until the end of the race.

'Digi logo chip is to record our starting and ending time'

Of course there were a lot of sponsor, like crocs, salonpas, breatheright.......at first i thought the breathright was mainly designed who those who snoring at night, but we were told it can be used for exercising also because it can increased 20% oxygen intake. So we used it.

'the breathright on our nose'

The event started from Queensbay. (to be continued.........)

与心灵的坦诚

致：想知道孩子心与忽略孩子心的父母。。。

原以为星期天下午，能有足够的时间与心灵沟通。一直以来，我都有这种习惯，想知道这一星期以来，内心的自己是否快乐，是否满足， 可是坦诚的结果全是悲，悲，悲！我是典型的双鱼座，不只是期待浪漫的邂逅， 爱情，也注重内心的感受。 与心灵接触的时候，是我把心掏出来，赤裸的面对自己的时候，也是最诚实的时候。

为什么身边的人都不是我想象的诚实， 可靠？为什么当我面对自己时，看到的都是被陷害的样子。我知道现实社会里，难免有勾心斗角的时候，可是，我祈祷这些事情不会发生在家人与家人之间。当你说你们把我当家人般看待，我雀跃不已，家人对于我而言非常的重要，所以我掏心掏肺，诚心对待。可是，对于家人的我而言，我的感受是不应该被重视的吗？我也是人啊！我也有重要的事烦心，我也有责任在身上的。难道，你们认为，家人是用来利用的吗？家人的感受是可以被忽略的吗?你们可以不关心我，可以不慰问我，我无所谓，可是你们忽略我的感受，要我为你们放弃我的学分，我还能视而不见吗？

为什么父母就不能相信自己的孩子？难道，孩子不是你们生下来的吗？别一直做比较，自己的孩子的能力，与别人家的孩子的本事，是不同等的。各有所长， 所成就。为什么别人家孩子做的就是荣耀，自己孩子做的就是‘饭桶’！ 为什么当自己孩子与别人家孩子做同等成就时，别人家孩子的成就，永远是本事；而自己家的孩子就是幸运造就。难道你不能相信自己孩子， 明白其实他们也在成才的路上挣扎吗？在每位孩子心中的心灵世界，当世上的每一个人都不相信他时，让他心碎的往往是父母的不相信。你们是否知道，父母的认同与信任永远是孩子们最渴望得到的。试问，有哪一位孩子，拿到成绩时，不是向父母倾诉的？

比较比较，什么都比较！别人爱读英文书，是本事，是无人所能及的；而爱读华文书的是平常？读英文书的荣耀，一直挂在嘴边；爱读华文书是不足挂齿？还是一种羞耻？

父母们，为什么别人孩子做的时对，对，对；自己孩子做的是，没什么，没什么，没什么！你们难道不懂这是在造就孩子们心里不平衡的元素吗？

p/s:那我为什么要在乎他们的感受？

向世界前进！

从小就一直在想着成长， 当个大姐姐，能独立担当一切，且照顾家里。总是认为， 这是一件很光荣的事，而且，拥有的自由更是不在话下。中学时期，头脑想的却是大学时期；大学时期， 却向往事业女性的来临。可是当事业女神向我敞开欢迎的手时，我却进而远之。

有者会问，‘你不是一直向往吗？’对，以往我总是向往事业女性的来临，可是，当我发现，这种向往是要付出相当的代价，我就进退两难了。 当事业的光环越是靠近，这也意味着，自由，纯真，无压力，我行我素的影子将离去。

在大学的最后一年，我终于感受到时间正迅速地流逝。突然，我回想起，这20多年来，我到底在哪留下痕迹？是，我羡慕，我真的羡慕。尤其，当某某某告诉我，哪哪哪有多好玩？有好多有趣且新鲜的事与物，我就很想努力地想努力地想象，可是正所谓，‘读万卷书，不如行万里路’。 我再怎么读书，再怎么想象，永远也不会明白那种所谓的喜悦与惊喜。我真的很想感受着世界的奥妙，我当然明白，万里路是用钱来铺盖的，可是，不能行万里路，我也希望，能行几里路吧！走着走着，我就不信我不能行多远。

从此，我会好好安排这一切的。

p/s: 向世界前进吧！

Brief updates

Hi there, this is my first time blogging in the office. Ok, dun misunderstand me. I did it during my lunch hour. No slacking i can say. I am alone now in the office during my lunch hour. Eh, dun took me as freak, not that i dun wan to join them, or im auctism or they did not invite me for lunch. In fact, they did, just that their timing is a bit differ from others, sometimes they tapao, sometimes they are not. Maybe their timetable is abit from mine, i used to plan well for my lunch the night before i slept; but they will onky decide normally 10 min before the lunch hour.

Haha, got to go. Lunch hour ending soon.

九皇爷-游街

昨晚，麻坡大街很是热闹，大街上到处都是看热闹的人，当然我也不例外，不同的是，我不用七早八早去霸位，我开始变得不太爱争，就只是留在家里，听到喧哗声了，我才出去看热闹。跟以往不同的是，我不再挤着向前， 我只是站在后边，能看到什么就什么，没看到的，也无所谓了。人生不也是这样的吗？看见前面的人，争呀，挤呀，都满身汗了，还不罢休。当然，我不是说挤到前面去看不到什么，可是就算他们看到差不多90%，那根我看到的80%有很大差别吗？难道，我会把车看成人吗？那挤在前面的人，是否能清楚看见站的高高在上的踩高跷？

所以我不明白了。。。

奇怪，我似乎看人多过看游街呢！关他呢！开心就好！

好了，回到正题吧！我是在说游街呢！不是人生哲学。

有很多‘神仙’游街在大街，（好像是九皇爷的大日子）有呐咤， 观音娘娘，。。。（我也不是很懂怎么称其他的神仙，就俄称他们为神仙吧！）观看者不只是佛教徒，我还看见伊斯兰教徒呢，就站在我身边。有时我在想，观看者当中有没有跟我一样有事相求呢？当然，就算没有，每当有神坛或‘神仙’经过，我也会受手掌合十表示‘拜拜’。我听说，那些打扮似神仙的呢，其实是神仙上身，这些人需要经过几个月的吃斋才能胜任。那些跟着游街的佛教徒，好像也得吃斋好一段日子，来表示他们的虔诚。

游街游行在大约两小时半后，在欢呼声与炮竹声中，。。。。。经过这街道，到另一条街道。我的思路才慢慢回到现实。

p/s:没有相片，因为没想过要带相机。

相信我，你会好的，我不会轻易放弃你！

你怎么了，看着你逐渐消瘦的身影，看着你无法平复情绪时的匆匆，看着你从一个开朗，爱开玩笑的你，变成什么事都以悲观的脸孔与话题，重复听着你述说昨晚你数了5个钟的绵羊，我知道你根本无法入眠， 听你说没力气， 感觉漂浮，视线模糊， 我的心都凉了。

对不起，刚开始我不明白你怎么了，只觉得你很烦，每天说自己有多辛苦，很烦，我工作很烦了，可是你还说更多。我埋怨，我埋怨，可是当麻坡医生都被你找完了，你却一点起色也没有，你的她也憔悴了，我才知道事情的严重性。我不知这样的日子到底过了多久，可是我希望还不算太迟。

请你别说‘太迟了’， 我这一生中最害怕的就是‘太迟了’这句话。对不起，我不成熟的态度与无视。

对不起，昨天你给了我一个选择题，家人还是工作？我选择了后者，因为即将到来的星期有我期待已久的工作环境， senior安排我出去审查账目。你自己一个人出发之后，我才惊觉，我做了滔天大错。

对不起，请你为了我们，为了疼爱与关心你的每一个人，为了你自己，相信你是会好起来的。

Gathering with Internship Colleagues

• Behind : LT, SL, CF, BW, CA, J, Me, SF, LL
• Front : S, HZ, HN, SP

After 4th months intern in this company, this is my first time to have dinner outing with them. I think i'm getting better to get a long with them, but i know my intern period is going to end very soon. When it passed the 3rd months and when it was the time i'm getting used to the company's environment as well as the whole procedures, i can fell the time really flies. Only that i wonder i'm growing more and more enthusiatic towards this professions.

Today, our main purpose was having a farewell party for one of colleague who is going to resign this month. Let's call her HZ then, she is a nice girl, she is the girl sat beside me when i first enetr the company and she is the one who teach me so much and patiently. I know i'm a bit too dumb and hard to pick up something new. However, she never complaint every time i call her for help, she will leave her not-so-urgent file and check my problem for me. Thanks a lot, HZ.

Ok, let's continue my purposes just now, it was not only the farewell party, but it was also advance birthday celebration for HN & SL. Both of them are birthday baby tomorrow. I wish both of them Happy Birthday in advance. Most of the audit department present for this dinner. Almost all of us came right after the office hour. We went to Zense Cafe for dinner. We enjoy so much for the party, as for the food, i will just rate as 6 out of 10. The food can be rated as moderate. However, we laughed throughout the party. We were realy having our good time.

HZ, 谢谢你一直以来的照，因为你的照顾，我学到了很多很多。虽然我们不是同一组的人，可是你却不厌其烦的来帮我。每一次，我要交报告给senior时，你都会帮我再三的检查，避免我被指责。这些我都看在眼里，藏在心里。每次我拿不到balance你一定会帮我找到问题的存在为止。你给我的教导，我真的学到很多，因此也避免了多次的摔跤。还有，你是第一个教我如何有效proofread的人，而且虽然每次proofread我都会问一样的问题， 你也会一一的回答直到我明白为止。现在，你正前往人生的另一个转折点，我相信那将会是你大展拳脚的好地方。无论，你在哪里，我都希望你能有美好的每一天。

p/s: 别说我没有写华语。哈哈！
