Malaysia Public Holidays & Sarawak State Holidays 2009

I want to post this since early this year in January, somehow I just too busy till I had forgotten it. Am I that busy? Yeah... act to be busy since everybody loves to say they are busy when they forgot to do something.

Definitely, I want to tell everybody that I truly Iove the year of 2009, one of the main reason is the public holidays and state holidays for this year is just too perfect for me. Huhh!! Almost all the holidays are linked to the weekends, so I can enjoy longer holiday. I work 5 days per week, off Saturday & Sunday.

我是慢热的

如果我真的曾经让任何一个人觉得我很难亲近、我很骄傲、我很冷酷... 非常抱歉，那真的是我的无心之过。在中学到大学时期，我常常给人的第一个印象是我很傲慢，很冷酷，一副很串又自命不凡的模样... 尤其是到了一个新的环境，当大多数的人还是对我陌生时，我就很容易被人产生这种感觉，不是感觉，应该是错觉。冤枉啊！！我一定要极力申冤，事实有时候并不是真实。

我记得在中学时期曾经转校当插班生，一去到新的学校，我就被批说我是冷傲型女生。可悲的是，我并不晓得我给人的第一个印象是那么负面的，直到中学快毕业时大家才跟我吐真言，我才后知后觉。当时，整整半年的时间，几乎没有什么女生和我说话，我被逼变成男人婆，和整大群男生混在一起。哎哟！我知道我是被动的，常常不晓得如何主动和陌生人打交道，请大家多多包涵。

翻开毕业纪念册，发现我其中一位死党的留言，他是我转校进班时坐在我前面的一位男生。我给他的第一个印象是超级无敌的糟糕，我却一直不知道，谢谢他最后让我知道我的不好，虽是无心，但是我还是相信无风不起浪。

他对我的肺腑之言：你给我的第一个感觉真的是非常的不好，当时我对你的观念是，你是个非常非常骄傲的女孩，或许可以称为‘吊价’，而且还是属于看不起人的那一类。尤其是当你和我交谈时的态度更是明显的看见你‘好恋死’的样子。当时，我真的有股冲动想给你一点颜色看看，只是想到你是个毫无人性的家伙，还是免得浪费我的口水。嘿！！

是不是很烂？我看了都有点傻眼！我真的那么糟糕吗？还是他夸张了?? 再看看他接下来对我的评语。

但是，随着时间的流逝，我发现我彻底错了，我对你认识加深时，才发现你的好。坦白告诉你吧！你如今在我和大家的心目中的印象是个乐于助人，心地善良和善解人意的好女孩。认识你我真的是今生无悔，我觉得你很cute, 说话的表情很有趣。可是，你还是有点酷，可能这是你天生的特质吧！.......

对于我身边的每一个人，我确实是掏真心想跟你们交朋友，请不要怀疑我的诚意，虽然我有些时候我在初期会让人有点距离感，我知道我是外冷内热，其实就像一瓶好酒，越久越醇香。

相信我！我只是比较慢热而已。

P/S: 这张太阳花的照片和这个主题有关系吗？答案是：没有！硬要掰，就只能说这照片是我拍的，还有我很爱太阳花。(^_^)

祝我生日快乐

5月10日是我的生日，也刚好是母亲节。祝全天下的妈妈们母亲节快乐，尤其是我妈。妈妈，你的女儿我是很含蓄的，爱你在心口难开，所以想在这里大声对你说：“妈妈，我爱你！”希望你身体健康，天天开心。

至于我的生日，有太多太多的感触，突然很多想法在我脑里翻滚。如果你问我生日快乐吗？我好像也答不上来，只是身边那么多人祝我生日快乐，我没有理由告诉自己我不快乐，除非我把快乐都埋藏起来了。

如果我没有记错，今年应该是我第一次买了一份礼物送给自己过生日，是一支DKNY的手表，之前在新加坡公干时买下的——SG$156。买了有点心痛，所以只能安慰自己说是买给自己当生日礼物，这样就比较好过。

谢谢每一个记得我生日或不记得我生日的朋友。谢谢你们的生日祝福，不管是通过facebook, sms, mms, msn, skype, 电邮，面对面，卡片和礼物的大大小小祝福，早到的，准时到的或是迟到的都好，我都收到了。真的谢谢你们，我很感动，我爱你们。

今年的生日愿望：遇见以撒。

25 facts about Me

1. I am God’s princess; my name is Rebecca and ppl used to call me Becky, Becca, Beck or Reb. I don’t really like to be tagged as Reb, unfortunately ppl who call me Reb are those big bosses from top management which I hardly ask them to change.

8. I am a big fan of pork leg especially with thick fat. Mouth-watering when I thought of it, I eat pork leg’s skin since I was 5 (so geli, rite?), currently behave a bit and am trying my best to avoid it as it clogged my arteries and my cholesterol level had exceeded the healthy limit. Goshh!!
9. I love traveling and I am a budget backpacker traveler. I have created my backpacker memories by traveling to Singapore, Bali, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, China, Bangkok, Ho Chih Minh City, Hanoi etc. In no way you can consider traveling with me if you have categorized yourself as luxury traveler.
10. I am an idle blogger, therefore I do not have a fascinating blog. Sorry to all my readers.
11. Before 20 years old, 100% of ppl without any objection said that I was exactly looked like my mom. After 20 years old, a lot of ppl claimed that I am in reality look like my dad. What do you think?
12. I love music. I love Jazz, R & B, soft rock… Sorry to inform that I dislike heavy metal music. I have strong aesthetic taste and enjoying art.
13. I cannot take coffee based drinks, it will efficiently stimulate my brain, and I will be sleepless for whole night without doubt. Hence, you hardly ever find me lepak at places like Starbuck or Coffee Bean. However, occasionally you still will find me sipping fruit juice there with a gang of coffee lovers.
14. Strepsils is my good friend who follows me wherever I go. My throat is supersensitive, I need to swallow Strepsils after taking deep fried or heaty food, otherwise I guarantee will get sore throat within few hours.
15. I love kids. I pray that God will grant me 3 children in future, it will be perfect if 2 of them are twins.

17. I didn’t eat egg yolk till I reached 21 years old. Even after 21, I can only accept fried egg yolk (not boiled egg yolk) which I need to swallow together with the egg white, if egg yolk alone. Yuckkk… it will stuck in my throat.
18. My dialect is Hakka, beside Hakka I converse well in Hokkien & Cantonese, “half-pail-water” of Teochew (my mom speaks Teochew though she is Hakka) and little bit of Foochow (forced to learn to understand Foochow as I was surrounded by Foochow colleagues in my ex-company). I do speak Bahasa Sarawak, the local Sarawak Malay dialect as I spent time with a lot of Malay when I stayed in government quarters during my childhood time.
19. I am a typical gal who loves shopping very much. My best shopping companion is my sister; we can shop from 10am-10pm, from 1 shopping complex to another shopping complex. Funny eh? If you ask us to jog for more than 30 minutes, we are like totally exhausted. When talk about shopping, we are energetic.
20. Sometime I feel I am too sentimental, I am easily touched and emotionally influenced by words. However, I am slowly transformed myself to be more sensible and realistic. Yeah, there were too many experiences which had grown and brought me into another phase of life.
21. My nickname is fish, yet I don’t know how to swim, what a shame! Frankly, I scare of water, this is generally because I have a horror memory which happened when I was 10 years old, I nearly drowned in the deep sea, but God saved me by sending a stranger to pull me up in time. I absolutely hoping that I can fill in ‘swimming’ as one of my hobbies in future.
22. When I examine a guy, the first thing I see is his fingers.
23. I have a track record of eating 13 pieces of chicken (not including other side dishes)in Hartz Chiken Buffet, but this had became history record as my consumption power has gradually reduced these years especially I started to have gastric. Do not challenge me to eat buffet now, I surrender!
24. One of my aims for this year onwards is to eat less meat, I hope I can be 70-80% vegetarian. Seriously, I am going toward this goal, do remind me if you see me eating too much meat, I know the early translation period would be tough as I used to be a carnivore in past.
25. I know I am imperfect but I believe God changes thing.

风

喜欢吹风的感觉 虽然有点冷 喜欢风吹的感觉 让视线有点模糊

风真能带走伤感 吹走忧愁吗？ 她不并晓得

她只晓得风的速度赶不上她对他的思念。。。
