The Ship - The Best Steak in Town

上个星期和朋友到闻名已久的Batu Ferringi The Ship去吃晚餐。这个餐厅的其中一个特别之处就是把整个建筑以船身的造型呈现，所以在一众四方高楼里显得相当抢眼。餐厅内的布置也适度的模仿了甲板的设计，加上暗暗的灯光，特别有一番风味。里头的工作人员也穿上水手服，船长装，可以说是做到了一间主题餐厅里该有的都有了。

食物嘛，这里以西餐为主，尤其牛排相当出名。菜单上印上了[The Best Steak in Town]字样（其实在很多其他的西餐厅也看过这个标语），让我这个牛排爱好者没有理由不点牛排。食物的摆设与呈现不会太吸引人，没有新意，但中规中矩。当我吃下第一口的时候，我必须承认，这是我在槟城5年吃过最值得的牛排。另外一间可以与之披靡的要算Hardwrick 的牛排，但Hardwrick牛排的价格却高出不少。

由于没有带相机，就只能由手机出马了，所以照片的素质不怎么样，大家将就点看吧，呵呵。

3rd December - International Day of Disabled Persons

International Day of Disabled Persons (December 3) is an international observance promoted by the United Nations since 1992. It has been celebrated with varying degrees of success around the planet. Typically, the Day's activities are mounted by unpaid volunteers. Unless non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or governments step up to support the Day, effects will vary greatly from country to country, and year to year. It has now been renamed as "International Day of Persons with Disabilities"

Each year the day focuses on a different issue:

2009: Making the Millennium Development Goals Inclusive: Empowerment of persons with disabilities and their communities around the world
2008: Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: Dignity and justice for all of us
2007: focus is on 3 December 2007 "Decent Work for Persons with Disabilities"
2006: International Day focused on access to information and communication technologies. Article 21 of the UN Convention on Disabled Persons briefly explains the issues.

你值多少钱？

一位朋友问我，如果一个大她20年的男人，给她一栋房子，照顾她的家人，甚至结婚后可以继续留在母亲家里居住，一切生活费包办，条件是为他生一个孩子，这笔交易做不做得过？由于看出她其实心里已经接受了这个交易，并且不断的解释这个她口中不爱的男人可以信任，会妥善照顾她一家人，所以我并没有大力反对，只是和她分析了利与弊，剩下的就由她自己决定好了。

如果你已经过了花样年华，还是找不到心仪的对象，眼看四下也没有追求者了，这时出现这样的男人，假设他条件不错，有学历，有事业，需要多优厚的条件，才可以让你点头呢？有专家说过，这世上每个人都有个价码，你不愿意进行某个交易，原因是因为条件还不够，你又是否同意？

曾经听过一个故事。某个主持人问现场所有观众，如果给你们100万，要你抛弃现在的爱人，多少人会同意。结果是没有人举手。主持人开始加码到一千万，这时开始有零星的人举手了。当主持人加码到10亿时，在场的人几乎都举手了，只剩下一对情侣。这时女的悄悄的问男朋友，为什么你不举手，男的说因为他爱她，无论如何都不可能放弃她。女生叹了一口气说，“我很感动，但对不起，在一亿的时候，我的心已经答应了”。

我不是想要表达什么，因为人各有志，只要肯对自己的选择负责，我认为外人没有资格去批评什么。但最后我想补充一句，[放弃爱的人，就没有资格去问为什么她得不到爱]。

父亲入院

上个星期天妹妹突然打电话来说父亲进了医院，原因是发烧气喘了两三天。之前虽然在诊所看了医生，但病情不见好转，于是妹妹执意要求医生作详细的检查。说实话现在的医生还真的是只会给药不会看病，如果不是妹妹执意要医生检查清楚，医生也不会发现父亲的心跳比正常人快，最后医生才劝告妹妹把父亲送入医院检查。

开始时大家，包括我母亲都以为这只是普通的感冒发烧，预测一两天就能出院了。结果第二天哥哥打电话来说父亲进了加护病房，因为X光发现父亲的心脏里有水! 没错，是水!

我知道后也很惊讶，心脏里怎么会有水呢？医生也说不出的所以然来，但表示这并不是第一宗病例。于是我跟哥哥说晚上我会直接飞回新山，但他表示让我不要太着急，傍晚的时候看情形如何才决定需不需要我回去。这样也对，在欣赏我没有交通，回去的话他们还要分神照顾我，如果情况不算严重，让他们专心照顾父亲会更加好。

傍晚的时候，哥哥就打电话来说医生已经把水抽了出来，烧也退了，情况稳定，但仍需在加护病房里观察，这样也让我放心许多。到了第三天，父亲终于转到了普通病房，留院观察到第五天才出院。当父亲依然需要继续复诊以查出心脏出现水的真正原因。知道父亲逐渐恢复健康，我也感到高兴。

愿父亲长命百岁，身体健康。

Annual Dinner 2009

Time flying damn fast and it again came our department annual dinner on 6th November 2009. This year we held our dinner in newly operate Hard Rock Hotel at Batu Feringgi. The programmes were ok but too bad the food spoilt the night. Anyway, overall was still acceptable.

ONE PARAGRAPH THAT EXPLAINS LIFE!

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: 'Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease'?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
'The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?'

Happiness keeps you Sweet
Trials keep you Strong
Sorrow keeps you Human
Failure keeps you humble

and

Success keeps you glowing, but only Faith & Attitude Keeps you going...

20th November - Children's Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Children's Day is an event celebrated on various days in many places around the world. International Children's Day is celebrated on June 1 and Universal Children's Day is on November 20.Other countries celebrate a local 'children's day' on other dates. The holiday is simply set to honor children and minors.

History
The International Children's Day had its origin in Turkey in 1920 (April 23, 1920) and later in the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco (USA) gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year, and also coincided with the conference in Geneva.

Children's Day was first celebrated worldwide in October 1955, under the sponsorship of International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva. The idea of a Universal Children's Day was mooted by Rubab Mansoor grade 8 and adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. Moazzem and Abass helped and contributed a lot in this. Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually. First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children. It was also chosen as the day to celebrate childhood.

November 20 is also the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states.

Children's Day is celebrated on 1 June each year. It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out etc.

-------------------

My words :
Children are the future of this world. We can estimate how our world will look like 20 years in future by observing our children now. The greatest part is, what we have done to our children formed their personalities. So please role model yourself, our society has lost too much of love, we definitely do not hope situation now getting worse over time. There are also a lot of children out there are struggling for live by battling starvation, natural disasters, wars, discrimination and etc. Every signle person does has their role and responsibility. If you have time to waste on girls, drinks, fooling around, you may want to spend 10 minutes to get know what had these children experienced at another corner on this earth.

Spread your love for more love, to build love, and being loved.

意外

嗯。。。 怎么开始呢？

就先说上个星期，SI突然出水痘请假一个星期，也因此一个星期没有看见她。今天突然看见她上线，就和她打招呼，也很意想不到的，竟然和她聊了一个下午，虽然有一半的时间是在聊公事啦。这还是第一次和她聊那么久，所以，虽然是自作多情，也还是有那么一点高兴，呵呵。

平时除工作外她很少上线，工作时间各忙各的，在加上我偏偏就对她厚不起脸皮来，也就鲜少说话，擦肩而过也未必会打招呼。

无论如何，希望她快点恢复健康吧。 :)

29 岁的谜思

昨天朋友问我有没有想过移民或到外国去居住几年，我回答没什么想过这个问题，应该不会。他问我为什么，我回答他因为一个人在外国，人生地不熟的，万一有什么事也不知道该找谁帮忙。他却问我当年我一个人跑来槟城，不也是人生地不熟，没有认识一个人吗？

想想好像也有点道理，只身在外也有5年了，对于一位残障者来说还真的有点不可思议。但不知道是不是人老了，胆子也变小了。如果现在叫我一个人到一个完全陌生的地方重新开始，我也还真的需要考虑很久很久。但如果只是旅游一两个星期，到还是没有问题的。

看看日期，我离29岁也不远了。这几个月开始觉得体力已经不如从前，工作之后往往累得完全不想动，周末也懒惰出去了。感觉好像又回到了宅男时期的我，可以3-5天完全不出房间。

对于一个29岁的男人，没有事业，没有钱，没有女朋友，不知道会不会就这样不小心习惯了孤独。不自觉地我也到了可以[想当年]的年纪了，好怀念以前中学大学时的生活。

明年，依然依照我制定的计划走。虽然我不知道路的尽头等待我的会是什么，可以是坚持的成功？或是固执的错过应该珍惜的？还是更多更多没有路标的分叉路口？

但无论如何，走过的路程，应该不会让我一无所获吧。。。至少，我拥有了回忆，不管是酸，是苦，是甜。。。
