This a very famous place to have breakfast in Butterworth.
It's also my favourite place for breakfast too.
Found a new way to eat my routine breakfast..
Dry Koay Teow+ a half boiled omega egg
yummy!
this is the normal style koay teow soup
with only minced pork.
The marinated minced meat is the main ingredient for the Koay Teow Soup.
It's located at Jalan raja Uda.
Calling for pork lover,
don't miss this restaurant if you happen to drop by Butterworth.

寻找童年的味道-清洁海滨烧鱼

小时候妈妈常常带我们到清洁海滩(Pantai bersih)玩耍,
玩累了,就吃烧鱼,喝椰水。。
小时候是多么的逍遥自在,无忧无虑。。
长大后,
由于没有规划的发展,
滑梯和海都不见了。
烧鱼档也随着发展的浪潮,
从清洁海滩,
迁移至黄炎发饮食中心,
一直到上星期,
终于给我发现那熟悉的味道,
快乐无比!
就在大众饮食中心。

虾蛄最爱的辣椒酱。。
说了大半天,
大众饮食中心就在
遐迩闻名的九王大帝庙隔壁,
找一找吧:)

莲子

第一次吃生莲子,还蛮好吃的。。
脆脆甜甜的。
查一查百度百科才懂原来是这么的滋补。。

现代药理研究证实,莲子有镇静、强心、抗衰老等多种作用。

Sold But Not Forgotten


Finally,

I have sold my first 'expensive' watch in my life;

It was an appreciative incentive for my first year of hard work.

It was a quick and smooth transaction.

It has to move for a better good.
It will always in my mind.

White Water Rafting

I'm missing this "adrenaline pumping" moment!!
It was 3 years ago in Phang-Nga province,Thailand.
We made an almost 3 hour road trip from Phuket to Phang Nga for this one of
"the must do thing" in Thailand.
The river is quite narrow with a few boulders. The rapids are rated Class 2 and Class 3 according to the International Scale of River Difficulty.

  • Class 1: Very small rough areas, requires no maneuvering. (Skill Level: None)
  • Class 2: Some rough water, maybe some rocks, small drops, might require maneuvering. (Skill Level: Basic Paddling Skill)
  • Class 3: Whitewater, medium waves, maybe a 3-5 ft drop, but not much considerable danger. May require significant maneuvering. (Skill Level: Experienced paddling skills)
  • Class 4: Whitewater, large waves, rocks, maybe a considerable drop, sharp maneuvers may be needed. (Skill Level: Whitewater Experience)
  • Class 5: Whitewater, large waves, large rocks and hazards, maybe a large drop, precise maneuvering (Skill Level: Advanced Whitewater Experience)
  • Class 6: Whitewater, typically with huge waves, huge rocks and hazards, huge drops, but sometimes labeled this way due to largely invisible dangers (e.g. , a smooth slide that creates a near-perfect, almost inescapable hydraulic, as at Woodall Shoals/Chattooga). Class 6 rapids are considered hazardous even for expert paddlers using state-of-the-art equipment, and come with the warning "danger to life or limb." (Skill Level: Expert)
from wikipedia

The tiring road trip was worthwhile for this unforgettabl and all wet adventurous rafting experience.

Nail biting 1st half,
57th minute lifeline grabbing turning point,
awesome attacking rampage,5 goals thriller!
A stunning 2nd half fight back!

after this awesome showdown,the red devil moves 3 points ahead of title race rival,Liverpool with 5 games to go and an extra game in hand.
May-yet another important month for the devils.


Word of Wisdom

This picture was taken by me last year at St Anne's Church,Bukit Mertajam.When i was touching up this picture,this quote crossed my mind.Therefor i added it into the picture which personally i feel it makes a very suitable captions.
天无绝人之路,
愿共勉之
Below are a few more shots for the day.

錶迷二十五守則

pic borrowed
1. 別為了買錶而買錶,請買你真正想買的錶

舉例來說,如果你真的想買的手錶是 Patek Philippe 或是勞力士,就不要因為價錢較貴而屈就於其他較便宜的手錶。克制自己為「買錶」而買錶的購買慾,將錢省下來日後買真正喜歡的手錶。如果真的無法負擔新錶的 高價,不妨考慮買一只狀況不錯的二手錶,加上上送廠維修的費用,二手錶常比新錶便宜個幾成。

2. 儘可能用現金買錶

用現金買錶能談到的折扣往往比信用卡累積的紅利點數划算得多。更何況,現金付款會讓你更仔細考慮自己的財力,比較能避免用信用卡過度擴張信用,負債買錶的景況。

3. 買自己喜歡的錶,而不是其他人喜歡的錶

只要你夠努力徵詢別人的意見,無論你想買的是甚麼手錶,你的麻吉、女友、親戚,甚至是腕錶巴士上的網友,總有辦法湊足十個意見(缺點)給你參考。但請記住,戴錶的人是你,而不是他們。

4. 無法決擇時,以機芯為重

對 幾個款式猶豫不絕時,機芯的好壞可能是最重要的。保險的做法是選擇一只名錶廠的知名機芯,比如說Zenith 的 El Primero、Piguet 、Lemania、Venus等等為宜。但是別買機芯喜歡,但手錶的外型卻和你自己不搭合的手錶,畢竟,手錶通常是正面戴著的,而非將機芯的那一面反過來 戴。

5. 無法決擇時,以製造錶廠的聲譽為重

如你所知,這世上有很多優秀的品牌錶廠生產值得選購的手錶,但是別迷惑於品牌的名聲而買錶。舉例來說,你知道Patek Philippe 是這世上最好的手錶之一,但是如果試戴後不喜歡,就別買它。

6. 你不會因為戴上某支手錶而變成另外一個人

手錶始終是手錶,而不是魔法森林裡的魔法棒。愛因斯坦有一只 Patek Philippe,而海明威戴的是勞力士和歐米茄;但是戴上Patek Philippe不會讓你變成天才,戴了勞力士或歐米茄更不讓你文思泉湧寫出「老人與海」之類的文章。

7. 選擇尺寸合適的手錶

大尺寸手錶現在很受歡迎,也的確很具有時尚的魅力。有些大錶面手錶的確擁有非凡的設計,十分好看。但是如果你的手腕真的太小,甚至比錶徑小時,那手錶戴起來可就有一點邋遢。你該不會想削足適履吧?

8. 為你的錶買保險

你會睡得安穩些,如果買不到保險,將錶放進保險箱可能也成。

9. 多一點耐心常可以省一點錢

常常再你已經花錢買錶後沒多久,就發現其實同一只錶還有其他更好的交易,基本上這是人生哲理的問題。最好的方法是別想這麼多,忘了吧。

10. 錶店的店員對他們不販售的手錶和品牌常常是主觀有偏見的


11. 旅行的過程比到達終點有趣

在買下一只手錶後,購錶人常難掩心中一點說不清楚的不滿足感,這是正常的,這樣像抵達旅途終點時的所產生的「失落感」,隔一段時間就會自然消失無蹤的。

12. 如果還是不滿意,請試著去改變

既然手錶是人工製造的產物,難免有缺陷。但是如果買到的手錶有故障,一定要送修,不要怕麻煩,勉強自己忍受。如果你真的不滿意已經買進來的手錶,趁早用個好價格賣了。

13. 想一想色彩學

所有的不鏽鋼、白K金,鉑金和金屬鍊帶之間都有一致性的合襯。如果配上黑皮錶帶,所有的不鏽鋼、白K金,鉑金錶都能展現一致性的 dressy樣子出現。一般說來,白色面面盤的手錶高貴雅致,較具有Dress Watch的英姿;黑色面盤則顯得酷炫和運動風。

14. 精準度是一種相對概念

你的自動錶在準確度上大概比不上石英錶。但換個角度想,這只自動錶的運行了一天,在86400秒裡只誤差個幾秒鐘,已經是能令人感到驚訝的非凡表現了。

15. 好好照顧你的手錶

定時維修保養你的手錶,保持乾淨清爽。那麼這一只手錶很有機會活得比你還久、還健康呢。

16. 手錶是奢侈品,不是必需品

從來沒有人是因為「一定要擁有」而必須購買一只名貴的手錶,而是因為「內心渴望」而購買手錶的多得多。如果你在買錶前問自己:「我真的需要這一只手錶嗎?」,誠實的答案大概會是 No 吧。


17. 決不要為了投資增值而買手錶

的確有少部分手錶很具有保值、甚至會增值,但絕大部分的手錶不會。即便是某一天會增值的手錶也常可遇不可求,不是一般人看得準的。更何況受惠的人往往是你的孫子,而不是你。

18. 世上沒有一只完全合適你的手錶,更沒有所謂終極手錶

19. 當你懂得越多,你需要的就越少

四支特殊優異的手錶遠勝過十只普通一般的手錶。

20. 除了意義特殊的禮物或紀念錶,別在手錶上面鏤刻文字或圖案

21. 買你會經常佩戴的手錶,而非漂亮但只會偶而配戴的手錶

別為了某日的宴會或儀式而去買一支稱合特殊場合的手錶 (通常是所謂的 dress watch)。從你的運動錶中,你總能找得出一只大約合適的手錶,要不然乾脆不要戴錶就好了。

22. 愛一只手錶的最高表現是經常佩戴它,而不是將手錶鎖在抽屜裡

如果你將一只手錶放在櫃子裡三個月不戴,我會認為你可能不太喜歡這一支手錶。盡可能買你會喜歡戴的手錶。

23. 所謂限量經常只是一種市場學上的促銷手法

限量五千只絕不是真正的限量,限量兩千只也不是。真正的限量應該是30, 10,甚至是只製造一只才叫真正的限量。

24. 不要在意他人的評價

當有人對你驚呼:「甚麼,你花 $ 錢買一支錶」時,千萬別在意。當然,建議你無須多費唇舌解釋這一支手錶的價值,因為講這些話的人通常聽不進你的解釋。

25. 不要用手錶來評斷人

千萬別因為看到別人手腕上的 Patek Philippe 而忌妒或羨慕,儘可能欣賞自己手腕上的手錶,從中尋得自己的快樂。永遠不要由一個人所配戴的手錶來評斷這一個人,包括你自己。

天空。门前。晚霞



有些时候美丽的情景仅仅是几尺之遥;往往是我们没有停下忙碌的步伐,
好好地欣赏那被忽略与错过的事与物。。

Saint Patrick's day

St Patrick's day is an annual feast day which celebrates St Patrick (circa AD 385–461), one of the patron saint of Ireland, and is generally celebrated on 17th of March.Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated worldwide and generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the colour
GREEN.
On this day people will wear green, eat Irish food and/or green foods, imbibing Irish drink such as Irish Stout and cream and attending parade.
Green ribbons and Shamrock were worn in the celebration of St Patrick's Day as early as the 17th century.
by the way,why shamrock?

the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, represents the Holy Trinity to the pre-Christian Irish.
Ok,enough for the history lesson,
St Patrick's Day = Irish all the way.
Party people+Holy juice of Irish(Guinness)=Perfect combo.
We had fun,and tons of Holy Irish juice in autocity.
:)
Guinness draught for only 10 bucks.

Creamy!!!
Green..green..

T.H=Tipsy Horng
Gimmicks...
Damage check:7 of us we finished 46 mugs,plus one for the waitress,if i was sober enough to remember the number.:)
and all of the sudden we miss this guy so much!
