Massage Service

I don't know whether you have noticed that these days, every shopoffices around PJ have massage services (legitimate ones). It is like a new industry mushrooming around town with loads of varieties and choices to choose from.

You could try out some of the Balinese massage at major shopping malls, where they locate them around the staircase areas and unpopular spots in the mall; blind-man massage in Brickfields are abundance; or the Chinese ones at the sidewalk of Jalan Bukit Bintang; not to mention the luxury Spa and massage around health clubs and golf clubs.


The hustle and bustle of city life does not only create opportunity for people seeking employment, but also a way to relieve stress via massage. It is no wonder that the industry has been surging, and with influx of foreign workers, mainly from Indonesia and China into this newly developed industry. The demand and supply fundamentals of the economics.

Though the price is not as affordable as you could find in Thailand, Indonesia nor in China, however, with competitions increase, prices are competitive. A simple foot massage starts from as cheap as RM32 for an hour to exorbitant price of RM200++ for one session of spa and massage in prestigious clubs. A good service and ambiance deserves the price.

With a change in lifestyle, massage industry is definitely here to stay.

My brother leaving for Korea

Me, mom, and my brother at KLIA

This morning, my brother has moved out from his cozy nest at home and flew miles away to South Korea to further his studies.

I am sad because he could no longer share silly jokes and trivial quiz with me, listen to my silly thoughts and debate with me; yet I am happy for his departure, as this is his lifetime opportunity, for now, to go outside and explore the world.

So, this is it, my brother! Have fun and enjoy yourself while you can. Just call or email home when you need some help or advice (hopefully not just monetary :p). Go explore South Korea as much as you like, you may not get other opportunity if you don't grab it!

Good luck and all the best!

Movie is Magical


Have you ever feel the magic from movie?

It makes you laugh, cry, suspense, thrill, excited.... all the adjectives you could used to describe the movie. If you really observed closely, it's not the description that make movies so important in our lives, but the whole experience of movie-going and how a team of professional movie makers are able to bring those special moment in a two-to-three hour show closer to you. The collage of movies are parts of our lives. And we love those moments of reflection, a piece of the real story in everyone who are watching it.

I call that magic!


Yesterday was the 80th Academy Award. Every time I watched the the Oscar, it never fails to move me. By the way the awards were presented, the nominees in place, dedicated production team working effortlessly to bring good production to the audience, the script writers, the winners of the award, and of course the presenters, the orchestra, the backstage staff, master of ceremony, and most importantly the audience. Each plays a part to make this huge event a great success.

I always like the way they have this Academy Award presentation. Its classy-way of recognizing the efforts from actors to the props makers. I especially touched when a scrapbook of old videos of past performers and productions, immortalized by time, were once again surfaced. 80 years had passed, and the Academy Award has always been there to recognize special talents of the people, either in front of the scene or work backstage.

Imagine, only the main casts are acting, without proper directing, the story is stale and lifeless. Without music and sound effects, the excitement is lost. Without proper wardrobe and costume designs, the world of movie looks so dull. Without wonderful scripts, there is no good movie. A good movie needs collaboration of teamwork.

These collaborations do create magic! And, movies share those magical moments.

我遇見李心潔

我真得很幸運有機會遇見李心潔。她真人比電影熒幕上的她還漂亮。

瘦瘦高高的,膚色雪白、還有重要的是她迷人的笑容。因爲她那天打扮得樸素,差一點就認不出她了。還好看過她的電影知道她招牌的笑容,所以鐵定是她沒錯。

沒想到就這樣巧遇上她和她的朋友在我前往的餐廳去,而且還是坐在我的隔壁桌。。。真有點意外。

我也沒干擾他們聚餐,畢竟是別人家的私隱。只是會偶爾時不時瞄了瞄過去隔壁桌看看她的模樣,說著說著不知不覺也興奮起來。

其實我不是什麽追星一族,也不會為明星歌星而不顧一切的人。

不過,還真的第一次被她的魅力所吸引,有一種說不出的氣質。這種很難得的氣質一直留在我的腦海裏好久。

說真的,我好高興可以遇見李心潔。

重遇老朋友


我的老朋友:道源、慎遠、海瑩、慧琳和我


今天很開心可以見到和我‘失散’十年的老朋友,海瑩。她還是我十年前影像中的海瑩,那個擁有青春可愛的笑容,加上朝氣蓬勃的好朋友。

哇!沒想到我們已經由十年光陰沒有見面了。大家今天難得聚餐和老朋友碰碰面,真是開心不已。看見大家能夠過得充實經歷生活中許多的精彩點點滴滴。真得好高興。

雖然大家已經好久沒有見面,但是我們還是可以話説當年,有說有笑。

最好笑的是我一直拿慎遠來開玩笑,當笑柄。真是惹人討厭。哈哈哈哈哈。慎遠,你不要小氣哦!(其實你的冷笑話真得不好笑)。

願我們的友誼長存!

新年大團拜

慧琳家:芳基、道源、我、泳絮、慧琳、懷馨、康俊、偉垊、、康友

今年和往年一樣,都有我中學好友的大團拜。哇, 回想起來,已經不知不覺都搞了十年了。有點不敢相信。十年光陰原來就這麽快過去。

這一次我安排大夥兒來我的家。畢竟是第一次在新家過年,還有我也很喜歡宴客,所以歡迎朋友們到訪。出門前,在家裏煮了一鍋粥,直到大家在新年期間吃了很多山珍海味,所以讓大家可以清清腸胃。因爲芳基是吃素,剛好家裏有齋菜的配料,所以托媽媽炒了米粉和大夥兒分享。

今年的團拜,因爲是落在年初四,星期天,所以特意安排遲些出發,好讓大家可以飽睡一下。有些同學從外坡趕路也趕得很辛苦參與我們的約會。辛苦你們了!

裕翔家:凱榮、康友、偉垊、泳絮、蘭英、裕翔、我、道源、慧琳、康俊

今年參與的朋友包括:偉垊、泳絮、慧琳、芳基、道源、康友、懷馨、凱榮、康俊、還有裕翔。我們還去了道源、慧琳、懷馨、裕翔、還有我家去做客。當然少不了去梁老師還有Pn Lim的家拜年去。但是今年的團拜,大家好像對電視節目特別感興趣。我們還以電視節目來決定要在一家呆多久。很有趣吧?

其實,因爲要召集人數可不容易,大家也各忙各的。加上又有些臨時退出的朋友,所以不好搞。有時候想想有團拜是件好事,因爲可以在這一年裏看到很多一年裏失去聯絡的朋友,加上一年不見,大家也很想知道對大家的境況。所以希望我的朋友們可以抽出你寶貴的時間和我們團聚一下應該不怎麽爲難你吧?一年就這麽一次。小女子感激不盡。

說真的,見到你們真好。因爲我知道大家都活得很好,這樣其實就夠了。

我們的大團拜就在mamak檔划上圓滿的休止符。明年再見!

除夕夜的團圓飯

迎接鼠年的到來,一時興起,今年的除夕夜團圓飯有我一個人包辦。

這一次嘗試了不同種類的美食,包括了荔枝雞腿、咕嚕肉、瑪蜜蝦、如意卷還有炒雑菜。我還真的忙得不亦樂乎。這一次花了我整個下午一手包辦才將晚飯給弄好盛上。雖然時間用了不少,不過最終看見家人吃得開心的樣子,裏面有种窩心的感覺。

原來我媽以往花在廚房的時間煮出美味的佳肴是讓我們一家吃得開心。

團圓飯不只是團圓,一家大小聚在一塊兒有說有笑,開開心心吃頓美味的自家飯菜。

好幸福哦!
