2022年的回顾

 好久不见！

这部落格算是我卡在中国完全没有开到的网页。

2022 年过得真的很奇幻。三月份我离开了马来西亚出了一个国。

没想到在厦门光是隔离酒店就待了28天，由于上海疫情，一共在厦门待了三个月，自由行去了一趟鼓浪屿，吃了三个月的酒店早餐，深度游了厦门岛。虽然如此，本来想说打算去附近的福建土楼，还是因为疫情管控和天气因素，没去成，留下次去。

厦门大学

鼓浪屿

集美学村

经过漫长的等待，终于在六月份到了上海，住了一个月的酒店公寓后，终于在7月份搬到了在上海的第一个租房。搬家第一周。

六月份，终于和上海同事和下属们网友见面了。 老板带我认识周围环境，彤彤带我周末去认识上海。外滩、田子坊、北外滩，莱佛士、徐家汇、迪士尼乐园、朱家角。

管控期间还是有机会去看了几场线下脱口秀和戏剧。 线下脱口秀还是不错的周末消遣。看的戏剧则还是参差不齐，有不小心看的牛郎秀，有很厉害的剧场设计， 有不错的侦探剧情互动。

#開心麻花 #瘋狂星友團

悬疑剧 ＃深渊

渐渐地，习惯了呆在一居室的小房子，习惯了每三天检测一核酸，习惯了走路去地铁站，习惯了搭地铁上班，习惯了上淘宝、美团买生活用品，习惯了手机下单后，东西会很快的送到门口。

时间很快的来到十一月，和彤彤说拜拜，终于需要一个人独自留在上海了。然后开始了去前同事孙忱家蹭饭，和疯子四环和新同事陆文静出去玩，还约了她们去捡垃圾跑步，变成了三/四人小组， 天天闲话家常。

戏剧化的一年，中国在严格封控后的三年，决定了要开放让群体感染，12月初开始，不需要强制做核酸，而且变成了非必要不要做核酸，然后之后的两星期内，同事们一半都阳了。圣诞节当天，我也测出来了阳。

2022年12月30 日，抗原恢复一条杠，31日忍不住和小伙伴们出去聚餐，然后在大家倒数元旦之后，我终于也回到马来西亚。

九个月的旅程终于告一段落。

2023年正式来临，回顾2022年，真是大开眼界的一年。

#2023会是个好年吗

#中国终于开放了

#我可以出去玩了

老蓝，拜拜！

 算了算，老蓝从2014年八月我开始来新山上班，直到现在，也跟了我差不多八年。中间去了牛国9个月，还好有租客帮忙用了用，但是回来时它也闹了不少脾气。

曾经一次是在公寓外叫了一整天，鸣笛器平时都没在用的，因为是在路边停车，没人可以联络到我，然后它就断电了。

继在小区路上爆胎之后，换了前轮。几个月后，它在高速公路再度爆胎，第一次打电话给高速公路的救助，帮忙换了备胎。备胎还是十年前的，从来没有打风。战战兢兢地回到了新山又去换了后轮胎。

坏了几次之后，都有了要换车地心情。但它也好像有知觉，不闹不坏了，让我继续上班回家乡。

高龄25岁地国产车，居然还可以上高速，也是无可挑剔了。

直到去年三月，老蓝莫名其妙地在我在做抉择的时候，在大白天被撞了。肇事者最后有被迫去警局备案，他说是我的车在路边所以他撞到的。唉，老蓝你为了要伸脚？！

不过，这也确定了老蓝要离开的决心吧？ 它修好了之后又出了几次问题，也是很小心的犯错，比如开了一个非常小的洞，小到轮胎还是可以支撑两个礼拜，甚至去了轮胎店也找不到。最后是去了第二次轮胎店埋怨之后再度详细检测到很小的泡泡。

之后也有一次引擎漏水，也是在大热天时被发现的。最后也在我需要上高速前修好了。

昨天，2022年3月11日，最后和老蓝去了一趟古来，然后就到了Carsome 把它送走了。再见了，我的好伙伴。you will be always in my mind. thanks for the big contribution throughout the year.

亲爱的八月份

八月份好像一眨眼就过去了，2021 年就这样来到了八月底。

今天是打完第二剂疫苗的第二天，以为早早睡觉早点休息可以帮助体力恢复，结果现在半夜睡饱，睡不了了，失眠了！

八月初其中一个好消息，就是迟迟没有下落的疫苗预约终于来了！八月四号打的第一针，没有太大反应，就是第二天下午开始犯困，睡了一觉。八月二十五打的第二针，暂时除了手臂很酸很酸，抬起来都有点勉强以外，没有其他明显症状，室友却说有可能两天后才出现症状。祝我好运。

在疫情期间，在家里最难的就是保持运动。在我花了六十天把《健身环大冒险》的大魔王打败后，继续我糜烂的追剧生活。在家除了吃和工作，就是随便上网看有啥剧可以看。

七月开始变懒，八月份休息了一整个月，九月份再看来又要开始积极运动了。

八月份虽然在家不能外出，生日还是被大家喂的饱饱的。感谢家人朋友们的厚爱，也感谢有屋主的好人缘，薇薇也一拼被大家喂食，吃了很多很多蛋糕。依照惯例，也吃了久违的韩国炸鸡和韩国餐来庆祝生日。

今年的生日就这样吃吃喝喝的过去了，祝屋主生日快乐，祝我生日快乐。帮屋主挑的生日礼物，勉强的把颜色上了，最后还得让屋主自己把颜色补上，希望屋主早日暴富，让薇薇可以继续骗吃骗喝骗住。

最后，希望疫情早日得到控制，趁还有机会可以和家人朋友们团聚，趁还有体力可以继续去看看外面的世界。世界很大，我还有很多地方还没有去玩，有机会一定要把这两年的空缺补上！

我的老爷车 ：老蓝

老蓝出生于1995 年，从小我们一起长大，现在我长大了，老蓝也老了。

2014年毕业那年的8月份，我毕业后在新山工作，那或许是老爸最后一次开长途车，亲自把它开到新山，途中还在Sedenak 停留，去拜访远房亲戚。之后老蓝便和我在这里相依为命，尽自己的本分送我去工作和来回马六甲。

老蓝很耐操，一大把年纪上长途还是稳稳的（就是司机开车技术太烂）。

开车最危险的一次，是爸爸病危离世的那一天，老蓝每两周都和我一起回马六甲，当时开超过一小时温度就会上升，这是就需要熄火降温，回家时间有限，所以虽然知道它有问题我都没有去修，就习惯慢慢开回家。

那一天，在中午吃饭时姑姑打电话通知，要我马上回家，知道老蓝的状况，本来想说下午无法开车回去，最后被姑姑的一顿骂，就还是请假回家了。老蓝和老爸一定是有联系的，路上祈祷老蓝和老爸都要撑着等到我回家，途中老蓝很快在大太阳下升温，姑姑们打电话询问我到哪里了，所以一路也没有停留太久，可以想象老爸也很努力地在撑着想等我回到马六甲。

最后，在距离一公里就要抵达爱极乐出口站时，老蓝正式沸腾冒烟，心灵感应不妙，老爸多半也离开了。果不其然，这是姑姑也打电话过来，说来不及了。

勉强把老蓝开离高速，老蓝再度沸腾，只好打电话找亲戚载我去医院，本来打算把老蓝留着路边，说也奇妙，那里刚好修路，修道工人为了防止阻挡交通，主动帮我把老蓝移到空地，让它在那里停留好几天。脑袋空白了好几天，在把身后事办妥之后才想起，让姐姐带我去把老蓝领去修车厂维修。

本来在去牛国打工度假前，应该把老蓝卖了，但一再拖延，到最后临时找到工作，需要在这里结束工作后马上飞往那里，最后只好让在老家的大学生租客代为照看。老蓝就这样又被留下来了。

纽西兰回来之后，老蓝又跟我回到新山，继续陪伴我，刚回来时还常闹别扭，但大多数是小吵小闹，这里修修那里修修，虽然年数已高，还是撑到了现在。

有感而发，因为老蓝这周莫名其妙被撞了。被撞的真的很莫名其妙。老蓝一如往常地被我带到屋主家晒太阳。和屋主去吃晚饭时发现老蓝往后退很多，本来以为是刹车问题，但想了想，觉得不对，屋主贴心地绕一圈回去看，结果真的是被撞了。

那一夜我失眠了。不知道老蓝到底经历了什么，是否能找到真凶。

第二天一早，去了管理层那里通知，询问CCTV是否有没有记录到。

不幸中的大幸，CCTV倒是很清楚的记录下了整个过程，还把车牌都清楚地拍下来了。人生中第一次去了警察局报警举报，一夜未眠，头脑不灵光地还是把老蓝开到警局报案。

警察叔叔告诉我当天只能拿到报案记录，两周后才能拿调查报告，但也说了也可以两周后一起拿报案记录和调查报告，然后才用肇事者的第三方保险去修理老蓝。他也热心地提醒我千万不要在报告出来前把车辆拿去维修，否则可能无法提保。

懵懵懂懂，我就没拿报告，直接回家，继续工作。

放工后再上网看车子被撞后到底应该怎么做。

原来，第一时间应该打电话通知自己的车辆保险公司，无论是对方或是自己的错，然后让他们来告诉你应该如何处理。

在案发24小时内要到警察局报警（还好做了）。

这一次，算是很幸运的，车祸过程和肇事者车牌都拍下来了，所以警察叔叔说即使肇事者没有自首，调查报告出来，我还是可以去用他方的第三方保险去修车。

希望一切顺利，老蓝你老当益壮，要好好撑着。你陪伴了我好久。希望你要多撑些时日，不知道你还会陪伴我多久，这或许是你给我的一个预兆，告诉我你要休息了。你就像老爸一样，默默地陪了我多了很多日子。这次车第一次受伤，人没事（当时我不在车上）。就好像帮我做了决定一样，要我学会放手。放手对老爸的思念，放生让老蓝离开。

万份不舍，满满的从儿时回忆，工作后的点点滴滴。

老蓝，请你多待些时间，到时，我会好好说再见的。

Throwback 2019: Moving House

Covid-19 has made everyone's life changes, locked down, face mask, sanitizer and etc. 

Not able to go out freely. Locked down a home, then become movement control order. First time in my life, need to go to police station due to the need of returning to hometown. First time in many years, not able to go travel. I even failed to travel to Penang and have cancelled my flight several times. First time, Singapore has become so near yet so far. 

Soon, 2020 will be ending.

Look at the brighter side of this year, this year is also first time in our life, we learn to calm down and get to adjust the lifestyle. 

I have been moved out from home since university. Has mastered in renting a room. Of course, with my good luck, I have meet many good housemates and roommates in the past, with Daisy being my first chosen roommate during my final year in university and last staying with Thong Thong. 

Thanks to my sisters, directly and indirectly, I have settle down in my own property before the lockdown. My sister and brother-in-law have been traveling to JB many times in first half year of 2019 to help me to view houses. And the last one that I chose is also found by sister. I didn't want to view it at first due to the asking price. But after view many and almost give up in buying one due to the view conditions. My sister help me to search online and persuade me to take a look.

Decided to get the apartment in last year June and so first time in my life on the long process of getting a property. Find banker, lawyer etc. Spent my savings. And waited for four months at least. 

Not knowing how to design the house, so the best thing is almost everything is already available there. Ready to move in after get the keys. The only thing I do before move in was to go to TNB and the management office, to get the electricity and water. Move in during Nov/Dec 2019.

All things are already in the house. 👼. Oh, the washing machine is the only thing that I need to buy before moving in. After that only start to look at the details. Get my internet supply in Jan after surveying a few and ask opinion from Daisy who stay at the same area. Get a new bed for myself. Get ready for the other two beds ready for rent. Then the lockdown started. 

Mar to May, it was a blessed to stay alone in the house, being the most freedom and crazy me. But many friends and colleagues were all keeping an eyes and to message me to ensure I am alright physically and mentally. 

Lucky enough, managed to rent it out in May/Jun, so that I am no longer staying alone. 

After too long staying at home, so the minor things were all cannot be unseen. Changed the fan due to it turn slower and slower until no longer moving. Changed the dining table from round to rectangular. This is thanks to the home office based, the round table has become very inconvenience as the pens keep dropping. Thong also give a good inspiration on upgrading the home, I changed my kitchen table top from black to whitish using the adhesive and waterproof wall paper. so it looks brighter. 

The only issue with the home is not bright enough as most of it is the warm light. 😂

And now, still in the progress of decluttering, after a year moving to this house, put on Carousell due to too much furniture at home. 

Managed to sell one of the sofa out and it now safe and sound in its new home. 

Times flies, now it is already a year in this house! Due to the lockdown, I really appreciate the home environment that I have. It is not the best, but blessed enough to be able to come at such a good timing. 

p/s: This is to answer the queries that my colleagues might have in mind. 😂A few of them got shocked that I move out so quickly from Thong house within almost a year and thought we had a big fight staying together. 

With the fact that I still occasionally still go to her house staying overnight to get to play the Nintendo games or before the hiking morning since I moved out last year. XDDD

Explore in Seri Alam Jungle Park

Late post again, thanks to the laziness. 

Now that no where can go. Midnight come to moody again. So lets update the blog. 

After many attempts of Mount Pulai hiking, recently we feel lazy to travel to Pulai hence we been trying to explore different ones over last few months.

Here is one and only after Elephant Hill, Seri Alam Jungle Park. Heard that the Blue Lake is somewhere around too. 

17 Oct 2020 - Blue sky always make a good photo. 

It was our first time visiting the Jungle Park.

We chose to go on Saturday morning, where we can follow the crowds to enter the jungle.

HERE is where the people lead us to and hike up. 

We get shocked because it was really steep and slippery, 

We have to hold tight to the rope and hike up.

Especially at the top, I lost my focus and don't know how to land, 

hence scratched my hand. 

Within 5-10 min, you can reach the first checkpoint.

We get phobia with the steep road but dont know how to go down using another path as it was our first visit. So we follow others again.

Luck was not at our side this time, they actually go to another hill. 

There is a big rock climbing and it look scary to walk down from there, 

we decided not to go up and try to find our way down again. 

We follow the path back to the first checkpoint, and finally saw Angie! 

I did inform Angie that we are coming here to try the route in that morning. 

However, she took the longer path to go up, that's why we didn't meet. 

She wanted to go to see the next view point. 

So we got to wait for her to come down and lead us. 

Hence we waited at the checkpoint. 

Saw a video which introduce the route says this is a golden rock~

To show that we really wait and growing mushroom. 

Get a few attempt but failed.

Finally, Angie is back!

We continue our journey to explore. Then we got lost. 

Angie found that we went to a path that is different from where she came up when we crossed a bridge. 

We ask the people who passed by, she told us that we can follow the route and go to the next checkpoint- The Green Tunnel. 

With the trust to the human and the fact that the hill is not that high, 

we continue to the direction that showed by the lady.

Walk passed a palm tree plantation and found a good scene. 

And yay! we successfully reach to the Green Tunnel!!! 

Try to get a jumping style but too bad it is blurry. 

End of the explore and now it comes the raining season of the year

and also another lockdown. 

Ex landlord been complaining my photography skills has become worse since not travel. However she doesn't know that my photography indeed bad, only that during travel, visiting good scenery, any angle will look nice easily.

Let me emo emo 就好。 

Hope that everyone be safe and we can travel out soon!

Throwback 2019: Feb Trip to visit Elizabeth at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

I realized I haven't been updating my blog in 2019, which means a good thing, I have been living my life hard and no time for it. 

2019 was indeed a good one, with tones of memories and travel. 

Last year valentine's day, I kidnapped someone's girlfriend to Kota Kinabalu, to meet my long lost buddy, Eli. It is my second trip to Kota Kinabalu. 

Eli is my university first room mate, course mate and makan buddy for the four years. Having a friend who enjoy food is indeed a blessing. You will not feel guilty when eating with her. We have a few food trips together, in Penang of course. I also travel with her at Melaka, Kota Kinabalu, KL, and Langkawi if I remember correctly. Eat too much until I feel guilty. Forcing her to go jogging with me during that time, but end up we still eat more than we workout. Life is just as simple, laughing at one another. I remember I used to tease her and another coursemate. XDDDDDD

After graduate, she returned to her hometown, and the once computer addict vanished in our life, not reachable in Facebook and Instagram, what is more worrying, she even not having access to WhatsApp! For sometime, some gatherings with friends will also talk about her, as no one able to contact her. 

I forgot after how long the situation goes, she finally contacted me. Then, I keep telling her that if she is not coming to visit me in West Malaysia, I am going to fly to KK. 

Another crazy university friend of mine, Sue Anne, who is not my roommate, nor coursemate, is the one got kidnapped from last year valentine. I actually joked to her that since both of us are single (when we decided the trip), then lets go somewhere during the valentine. Then she got coupled! 

14th Feb 2019: 

Since drag her during valentine, so we get ourselves a romantic place for dinner during valentine. 

The harbourfront is indeed a good place  

15th Feb 2019

The next day, we went for a tour package day trip to the Mount KK, stop by at the Upside Down House, Desa Dairy Farm (really got the feel of New Zealand!),and go to the little part of the National Park but not for the hiking just some intro about the flora and fauna there.

At night, we walk around the local market below our hostel and get to enjoy some local music which reminds me of my secondary school time on the Caklempong and Gamelan. 

16th Feb 2019：

Eli come and join us and we revisit the place we went before. Monsopiad Cultural Village and Lok Kawi Wildlife park. Back in uni time, there is no GrabCar around, I remember that it is much more expensive to take a taxi or it will be really troublesome to take a local bus to travel. Now with the ease of the Grab, we travel at much more convenient way. 

It is however, not as happening as I could remember. 

Monsopiad Cultural Village : http://www.monsopiad.org/aboutus.asp

Good as in it is not that much of crowds compared to the other cultural village and at a much cheaper price. We did get the chance to walk around and try around the games. It took much shorter time as there is a little quiet on the day we visit.

Another place is the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, I cannot find the official webpage. But I am surprised to see all the bad reviews on the Trip Advisor: https://www.tripadvisor.com.sg/Attraction_Review-g4340243-d1823791-Reviews-Lok_Kawi_Wildlife_Park-Penampang_Sabah.html#REVIEWS

We came here to see the Orang Utan, there are a few other animals and we managed to spend a few hours here and excited as a school kids. 

To end the day, we went to the Tanjung Aru Beach for the Sunset, and get the BBQ chicken wings. 

17th Feb 2019

Eli brought us to get the ferry to the beach within KK, we found a lot of diff package to the beach and I forgotten how we choose at the end, we went to three beaches if not mistaken. It was a good day to get sunbath. But Sue Anne get bored with both Eli and me didnt really want to get wet in the water. 

 

Not to forget the usual routine of my travel journey, to eat the local cuisine. 

For some I forgotten the name.

Tuaran Noodle

 Laksa

Mixed Beef Noodle,

Sabah ShengRou Mee (生肉面)

and dont know which ethnic traditional meal.

Last but not least, to end the post, my buddy tam chiak face when she finally see the food! And we end up play a lot of times of monopoly and the birthday girl kept getting the birthday card for us to pay her!
