你，会来吗？

以前没事做的时候，常常躺在床上发愣。其中一个最频密思考的就是：如果一天我死翘翘了，究竟谁会来看我最后一面？

延伸思考时就会再问自己：应该没有人会特地从海外赶回来看我吧？如果真的有人来，他/她会不会为我落泪？

想完后总是觉得自己很苯，干吗去想酱无聊的事情…… 可是有时却又忍不住去猜：会是谁？谁？

工作后比较少时间去发呆向这个“充满哲学性”的问题了。那天，它却不甘寂寞地冒出来了。是在CP告诉我大米的父亲突然逝世的消息过后，让我愣在19寸的大屏幕好一段光阴。

想象中那个宽阔的客厅里，漂浮在空中的我看着在安详睡觉的自己…… 到了那个时候，你，会来吗？

塔罗。算命

一直都不是很相信算命这种东西，通常都是抱着玩玩的心态去逛逛看。上次不知道谁发给我的一个网上塔罗牌游戏，玩了后顺手就书签了它的网址。

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

刚才无聊时去重玩网上的塔罗牌游戏，发现好像又给它解释了现实中那一个小小的迷惑……

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

喂！小心玩火自焚啊……

这个圣诞如何过？

我还记得去年的这天自己在做什么吗？圣诞节耶…… 假期耶…… 详情我不记得了，应该是在马口通往昔加末关丹大道吧? 那个时候金马士通往昔加末的联邦大道还浸泡在黄泥水中，差不多整个昔加末市中心在忙着清理劫后的惨剧。

从南马大水灾爆发的第三天，我从马六甲就快失守的家逃到芙蓉，苦等了三天才可以回家。一颗心上七下八，死守着电视报纸新闻，想尽办法知道多一点点水位的详情，推算甘榜被破坏的程度有多大。后来观看当时的录影，加上老妈有声有色形容当时危急的情况，还真的是心有余悸（哇靠，乱用成语！）。

为了赶回去看看淹淹一息的老家，我绕道多赶了至少60公里的山路。路经贝惹湖下游看见波潮汹涌的河水（比平常宽上至少两倍的河面，不知道可以把它升级叫江吗？），让我又点不敢想象会在昔加末河看见什么样的情景。老爸形容1972年那次大泛滥的情景一直在我脑海里打转，很难想象当时大桥被掩盖时是什么样子。

接下来那几天，街上到处都是垃圾。一半以上的商店没办法开店做生意，人们不是在清洗房子就是在修理泡水的机车。那一场大水把圣诞老人挡住了，我没有听讲到有哪一个街上的孩子收到礼物；他们爸爸妈妈却送了那些（落井下石的）救灾人员们的孩子不少“新年礼物”。

今年呢？今年的圣诞我怎么过？兔子在中国玩雪、公司强行挪后假期至31日，我今年圣诞的第一个小时将在公司里训练生产线人员操作从德州带回来的测试机。

还有还有，水怪今年提早两个星期来捣乱，只要两天连绵不断的雨就可以把老家弄沉了。今年的圣诞，看来也不是很好过……

附记：幸好有苏州两个好学生和宋小姐及时送来得圣诞巧克力和普尔茶饼，可以让人高兴一下。谢谢你们，让我知道冬天的苏州还是充满热情 =）

红色警讯！

雨，自从上个星期就开始陆陆续续地下个不停。上星期五妈来电说甘榜去街上的路最低处已经淹了，但只维持不到一天就消退了。
哪知道我还来不及高兴，早上看报纸读到新闻说彭亨的灾情再度恶化。午餐时间赶快拨电回家，妈又说水过路了。昨晚连绵不断的倾盆大雨一下就把交通再次切断。她还长气地吩咐我也要做好停电的准备，以免临时没有水和干粮。
刚才九点再扣回去，妈说甘榜的电流已经被切断，水来到伯伯家前大路的沟渠满满地，不知道会以多快的速度上升。他们在忙着帮忙把伯伯家的东西搬上楼，防患未然。
这次的水涨得蛮快，希望不会像去年那么严重。这次的大雨让人比去年更加恐慌，因为没有人知道究竟情况会糟糕到什么程度。但庆幸的是这次老爸有在家里陪着老妈，不像去年那样让人担心。
但愿雨季快快过去，虽然我是很喜欢晚上下雨冷冷的感觉。
还有，明年要把握机会教训那些不会干事只会吃钱的人们，让他们看看真正的人民力量!

登：拿督山

金山传说中，有段讲述汉都亚到苏门答腊寻找金山公主的经过。威武的汉都亚从马六甲跳一下就跳到苏门答腊，在马来半岛和苏门答腊留下各自一个脚印。拿督山上的的那个脚印，据说就是汉都亚留在马来半岛的那一个……



上个周末与同事到拿督山去登高，很庆幸当天并没有像前后几天那样下雨。整组13个人分成两批，前后用了差不多两个小时才到达山顶。至少一年没有真正运动的我半途发现自己的体力大大不如前，竟然在到达半山前就开始感到双脚无力，只有过后饮用加了生理盐的水后才恢复一些体力将沉重的躯体拖上山。



山上的风十分强劲，可能因为现在是吹季候风的季节吧！加上浓密的树荫，在山顶上即使是中午也不会感到太阳的炎热。



山顶的最高点是几块大石，需要借用铁梯的帮助才可以上去。我们上去的时候遇见一批学生正在下来，其中有一个蛮漂亮的女生在等候下铁梯时被手快的布莱恩照到长发飘飘的相，贴上来和大家分享以下:p



我们在最高的石块的边沿找到了那个传说中的汉都亚脚印，我特地叫胆大的阿川过去和它来张合照。



后来下山时阿川和我沿途拣起看见的垃圾，充分发挥爱护山川的精神。个人觉得，此行最大的意义莫过于这个了。



希望以后再上去的时候还可以看见这美丽的红花……

如何发一封公函?

老板告诉我一个我们的新工程师在对外发伊妹儿所引发的风波，要我好好地教导他如何对外发伊妹儿，以免他和他再次因为伊妹儿上说错的话受到其他人攻击。这下对我来说可好玩了，因为我也是一个胡乱说话的人。结果决定用比较婉转的方法来告诉我的小组里所有的新工程师《如何发一封公函》，花了一个小时的时间整理出来的资料只让几个人看觉得有点可惜，所以就把它投上来和大家分享分享：

1. Keep your supervisor/boss in the receipant list
- Let your supervisor know what is happening around him & so that he can response correctly if other party come to him, no matter they praise or complain on you. Make sure you also copy any other party that need to be informed on the issue so that they are aware of it.
2. Put in a suitable email title
- Let the receipant know what your email want to tell them. Don't just forward previous sender's email topic because that might not the correct meaning that you try to tell others.
3. Keep the email short, neat but informative
- Use point form or only talk 1 thing for a paragraph, organize all info that you wish to communicate nicely so that reader can understand easily.
4. Format the font wisely to stress on important points
- Bold, italic, font type, font size and font color makes the email more comprehansive. Format the font to make the important point more visible so that receipant can get your important point quickly.
5. Make an official email official
- Avoid using initials, short-form or description that hard to understand, unless you are sure that they really know what you are talking about. Your receipant might not have time to read thru in detail and guess what you trying to tell. Sometime the easiest thing for them to do when they don't understand is to ignore & delete if the issue is not their issue.
6. Always give a short background explanation on what is happening
- When you forward an email to another fella that is new in the email list, tell them what is happening so that they can catch up quickly. Use simple powerpoint / excel file presentation with data support if needed. Not everyone know what happen at your side.
7. Tell the receipant what you want from them clearly
- Best practice is to use the 3W ( Who, What, When ) approach so that they know what to provide to you & what everyone need to do to settle a problem.
8. Know what you can tell and what you cant tell
- Learn to protect yourself by providing the info on how it happen, why it happen & how to handle it. No need to spend a long time explaining what is happening in the between because most people wont want to know how you deal with it, they just want to know the outcome.
9. Think twice before you reply
- Don't reply an email when you are in a negative emotion. Calm down and reply regarding the issue raised, but not typing any attacking words for to release your emotion. After completed the whole email, read it again and make sure everyone understand your email and you are talking about want you want to tell without hurting anyone's feeling.
10. Always keep a copy of email that you send
- Utilize the email saving function wisely, make the system work hard & save your outgoing email so that you can trace what you had told others : a complain, comment or commitment. These emails can be use as evidence if any argument being raised.
11. Last but not least, Make sure you follow the procedure when handling things
- Don't leave a tail for other to catch just to save some effort by skipping a step or not doing something. Else, you will get involve into a lot of explanation & emails that will take a lot more time to settle it comparing to the time that you saved for not doing some small thing correct. This is a waste of time that will delay your time to go home.
