Birthday Presents

This year I have received two lovely tangible presents from my friends, a friendship mug and a cute plush cow toy. Other lovely things were dinners treats with loved ones and good friends, drinks from strangers, dancing, and wonderful sms-es and facebook messages.

Thank you very much! May your love and our friendship be cherished forever and ever!

Over-rated Tenji Japanese Buffet Dinner with Friends

On 15th January, I went with my other three friends to Tenji Japanese Buffet Restaurant for Buffet Dinner in SohoKL of Duta Solaris in Hartamas.

The concept designs of Tenji is similar to Jogoya in Star Hill, but in small scale. The pricing structure for dinner package is almost similar to Jogoya but less varieties as compared what is offered in Jogoya.

My friends and I were attracted to Tenji because of the promotional email sent out through forwarded email chain. However, to our disappointment, the dinner does not live up to our expectation, as some of the way that the food prepared was not that delicious and less varieties. One of my friend got rashes from unhygienic food. Friends felt cheated by the forwarded mail, and did not intend to patron the place again.

The up side of the restaurant is they have beautiful renovation with cosy environment. The coconut drink was absolutely wonderful, not to mention Chinese food section and desserts, which I so liked about!

Well, hope Tenji would work on the down side to make this restaurant a better place. For now, it's over-rated.

農曆新年

一年四季在於春,很快的農曆新年又到了。

今年的年來得特別早,就在一月份的最後一個星期一。早年的感覺可能是因爲不久前才剛過完聖誕節和元旦,這麽快又得辦年貨,大掃除,挂新年佈置,包紅包,準備迎接新年的到來。

從逛百貨廣場的人潮來看,很明顯比去年同期的人潮少了許多。可能性的推測是大家已經在聖誕節和學校假期期間買完新年所需; 也可能這種上氣接不上下氣的感覺,多多少少也因爲經濟負面的消息所致。

今年牛年裏大家也希望可以扭轉乾坤,讓現在彌漫低迷氣息恢復朝氣。

願大家新年進步,身體健康,萬事如意,恭喜發財。

日本國之旅的部分感想

去年,一共去了日本兩趟。 夏日和冬天一年之内一起體驗。

第一次,在七月份北海道熏衣草和花卉芬芳綻放的季節。天氣特別涼快,心境心曠神怡。北海道的風景宜人,感覺我就在畫裏一樣,感覺真得非常美好和自在。加上又是水果成熟的季節,可以品嘗到北海道的夕張哈密瓜,小櫻桃,真得開心不過了。不過,在這個夏日季節裏,最好滯留在北方,不然你會非常後悔哦。因爲日本的本島真的超級酷熱,連站在被屋瓦蓋頂的地方也有一陣熱氣向你撲過來,真的不是滋味。加上當時我又遇到大暑的來臨,真的恨不得把身上的衣服脫掉游泳去。

第二次,在十二月份正在進入冷風吹襲日光短暫的季節裏。我還真的是第一次在冬天逼不得已去旅行,所以沒什麽期待,總是覺得每一次要到寒冷的外頭,又得重復往身上套上笨重的外套寒衣,費時又費力。加上,我是連云頂的天氣也難挨的人,又怎麽會選擇在冬天去旅行呢?所以,這一次去首先是爲了公幹,之後就當起我首次去日本同事的導遊。我又可以順便去探望我的老朋友,又這麽巧,我想見的老朋友一樣回日本,把原本沒期待的我也因此感到特別期待。最高興的事,遇見老朋友,還要他們破費請我們吃大餐,有點不好意思。再説,重遇上他們,感覺真好。

值得慶幸的是這一次,我們還幸運地遇上貴人。一,他們請我們喝一瓶美味的白酒以慶祝我們的相遇;二,在我和友人去山梨縣旅行的時候,我們的新朋友招待得無微不至;三,到神奈縣還有新白河重遇七月份的homestay朋友和他們的家人,感到格外親切並且受到他們熱情地招待;四,在工作會展遇上一位不斤斤計較的翻譯員變朋友。這些可遇不可求的事,令我感覺幸運之神原來還在左右相伴著我。回想起來,我是非常幸運的。

因爲這些熱心朋友為我留下刻骨銘心的事跡,讓我的日本旅行生活更豐富起來。說起來有點感動,心中由衷感謝我每一位在日本的朋友。

日本是四季分明的國家。慶幸的是日本人的招待和處世態度是一樣四季不變的。
