YIF,最近火速窜红的魔法艺术家,擅长近距离魔术。
很神,很神。。。他究竟怎么办到的? 让我不得不开始怀疑,难道世上真的有超能力?

好贵的咳嗽

at Wednesday, November 28, 2012 0 把轻声细语
年约二十的中国小伙子,咳嗽一星期,进来挂急诊。
除了咳嗽,其他一切正常。
不懂说英语,碰见了我,我用我的三脚猫马来西亚中文和他问诊。
原来他不懂他正在急诊室,他说要看医生,朋友便带他来医院。
他没有医疗保险,必需自己掏腰包付三百三十块澳币。
我告诉他,伤风咳嗽应该去看家庭医生,几十块而已。
有时候,我不得不佩服一些人的勇气,语言完全不通也能离乡背井到某国家工作,居住。

快乐的时光

at Monday, November 19, 2012 1 把轻声细语
再快乐的日子也会过去,
所以,
再辛苦的日子也会过去。

八天新加坡之旅,
告一段落。
感谢姐姐,姐妹们和老朋友的照顾。
皮肤黑了,
行李重了,
钱包扁了,
该回去干活了!

Roti

at Thursday, November 15, 2012 0 把轻声细语
I am having lunch alone today. Today's food of choice is roti canai, Singaporean calls roti prata.
I started using my fork and spoon to tear the roti, with great difficulty. I am reluctant to push really hard because the fork and spoon are like paper thin, they will bend if u r too 'gu'.
Then I saw this angmo at table opposite me using his hand to eat roti, I realised, right, I can use hands!
The problem is now, my fingers are all oily and the oil is now on my phone screen as I type...

MRT

at Wednesday, November 14, 2012 0 把轻声细语
I always think MRT should charge people less for standing. It's fair, I make an effort to stand to my destination.
I always think, if there is 1 or 2 seats left, should I sit down? I will be off the train in 10-15 mins anyway. It's nothing compared to a medical ward round.if i sit down, later will need to stand up to give the seat away to elderly, kids, parent with kid, pregnant ladies and disabled people. Yes, I am sort of pessimistic.
So, unless I am dead tired, I won't sit down most of the time. Maybe if it's crowded, I will, so that I won't get German pork handed. But then, if it is crowded, usually I don't act fast enough to spot a seat, and then the whole giving seat away and getting off in a few minutes scenarios appear in my head again.
So yeah, I am standing and still able to publish this post :)

家用

at Friday, November 09, 2012 0 把轻声细语
家用这两个字对我来说并不陌生。从小,爸爸每个月都会给婆婆家用,大概有五百块吧。那时侯的五百块,加上住在乡下,当然比现在好用得多。当姐姐开始出来社会打拼后,也会每个月给父母家用,还有每次回乡就会给姑姑们零用钱。身为家里最小的成员,这些传统耳濡目染,我深知道这是孩子应当负的责任。(想起那个给爷爷用椰壳吃饭的故事...)

话说已经出来工作接近一年了,存了一些钱给家人。他们辛苦了那么多年,应该让小辈来改善他们的生活,家里可以添置用品,可以去旅行,爱吃什么可以买来吃。

好奇心驱使下,我去Google了“How much money to give parents in Malaysia?" 读了很多forum的谈话,发现了一些打工族的趋势。

1)大部分觉得不要给父母太多期望,宁可新年红包给大大,也不要有每个月给父母家用的那个负担。赚少了/花多了,红包可以缩水。
(有几分道理,老人会赞颂那个给大红包的孩子,而忘了那个每个月准时给家用的。)

2)结了婚的,有各自的家庭负担的,会有各种理由而无法每个月给家用,只有不时给 ”买东西吃” 钱。

3) 结了婚的有工作的女儿,有些会说,老公负责我们的生活费,我会用我的薪水给我的父母,他管不了那么多。
(女儿比较有保障吧?儿子都去养别人的女儿了!)

4)住在大城市的,会说自己生存都成问题,家用就等等吧!

或许现代的父母已经对这方面没什么期望了,自己理财退休,自己养老。
不给家用没问题,没倒过来向我拿钱就已经心满意足。
