As usual, I was opening the mail box before I enter my house. I received an envolope with another envolope inside. Very funny, I din't received this kind of letter before. I opened the envolope. There was a letter from credit card company saying that they are upgrading my current credit card to the gold card. Then I opened the other envolope. Oh my god! I was so excited. My 1st gold card. I had never dream that I am holding a gold card with my name printed on the card. I started to calm down and read the letter. This is a gold card. But the credit limit is less than my classic card. Hahaha. What a joke... Have to pay double annual fee but less credit limit? I decided not to accept this offer. Called the credit card company to cancel the card on the next day. But I still kept the gold card as souvenir.
But would like to apply another type of gold card. Offer greater benefits...
Wish me luck.
从小就养成了习惯。回家前一定开信箱。
收到信用卡公司寄来的信。里面有一张金卡。我的天啊！是金卡！一张上面印着我名字的金卡。做梦也没想过可以拥有金卡。
金卡？假的吧。它的最高限额比我的银卡还低。但年费却高出一倍。
开玩笑。我不可能接受这样的金卡。
第二天就拨电去取消这张有名无实的金卡。
第一张金卡。留着做纪念。
希望申请另一种金卡。有更好的待遇。。。
祝我好运。。。

民族的血
农历新年。
趁自己还单身，到处串门子拿红包。
初七早上到阿杰的家拜年。他的家人非常好客。饮料和小食摆到满座。
一位婆婆坐了下来。吸引了大家的目光。
话题聊开了。原来她是阿杰的外婆。洪亮的声音，灿烂的笑容，不像是七十多岁。
聊了几句后，她说我的声音很熟悉。问我住哪里。我说我住蕉赖。
她又问我的家乡在哪儿。我说在怡保。
她说：“不是不是。你中国的家乡在哪儿？”
可把我问倒了。我并不刻意去记。因为只知道我的家乡是怡保万里望。
重点来了。。。
她说：“是不是清远？”
我的天！！！
对！对！对！
她怎么听的？
我可不知我的广东话有乡音。
也从来没人告诉我。。。
我是马来西亚人。是大马的三代的华人。
已经开始遗忘我的祖籍了。
是时候上网找资料。了解我爷爷和婆婆的故乡。
你们知道自己的祖籍吗？
后记：阿杰的外婆也是祖籍清远的。

Oh Liza! Oh Sayang!
Masa berlalu dengan pantas.
Kali pertama jumpa dengan Liza adalah pada tahun 2003.
Seorang yang berbadan kecil memasuki ofis P&N Construction yang terletak di lot kedai ofis Bandar Tasik Kesuma.
Siapa dia? Oh, dia datang interview untuk jawatan data entry, pembantu QS.
Nasib tak baik, orang yang interview dia ialah seorang yang tegas. Lee Kok Fai, pengurus kontrak ketika itu...
Liza dihendaki menghasilkan satu format kertas kerja berdasarkan kertas kerja yang sedia ada. Liza merupakan orang baru. Dia tidak mahir dengan kerja yang diarahkan oleh Lee. Dia kelam kabut n air mata mula menitis...
Nasib baik, kami telah memberi galakan dan sedikit tunjuk ajar. Akhirnya dia berjaya menghasilkan kertas kerja dan diterima sebagai ahli P&N.
Liza merupakan seorang pendiam pada mulanya. Kurang berinteraksi dgn kami. Hanya buat kerja seperti yang diarahkan. Masa berlalu, kami mula berkenalan. Topik berbual semakin banyak. Baru tahu dia seorang yang banyak cakap. Mesra tapi garang... Hahaha...
Syarikat mula dapat project di sekitar Kuala Lumpur, dan Seremban masa tu. Ramai rakan setugas telah ditugaskan ke projek lain. Semakin kurang orang di ofis, semakin rapat kami menjadi. Tak lama kemudian, saya telah ditempatkan di Seremban untuk 1 projek pembangunan.
18 bulan kemudian, projek di Seremban telah selesai. Saya ditempatkan semula di Kesuma. Rakan setugas di kesuma semakin kurang. Akhirnya hanya tinggal Liza dan saya. Seorang pekerja dari syarikat pemaju n saya mula mengejek Liza dengan memanggilnya Sayang. Liza mengamuk, tapi sedap di hati. Lama kelamaan, kami panggil dia sayang saja. Rakan setugas di projek lain pula mengejak saya sepasang dengan Liza.
Pertengahan tahun 2007, saya telah diarahkan bertugas untuk projek di Bangkok, Thailand. Berita baik, Sayang nak kahwin dah. Berita kurang baik, saya bukan pengatin lelaki tu.
Hahaha. Tahniah Liza...
Bulan April tahun 2008, saya telah meninggalkan P&N. Kurang berhubung dengan rakan setugas P&N selepas tu. Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2008, saya telah berhubung dengan Liza. Baru tahu dia telah naik pangkat menjadi ibu pada musim perayaan. Tahniah tahniah tahniah diucapkan.
Sangat gembira dapat melihat seorang bertukar dari orang baru dalam masyarakat kepada seorang ibu. Bilakah dia melahirkan anak kedua?
Semoga hidup aman dan sejahterah

1 hour
12th July 2007, a normal working day.
Started the day wif delicious breakfast. Reached office on time. Greet colleagues wif a common word - sawadeekrub. Yes, i was working in Thailand. Working in Bangkok, the in capital of Thailand.
A lot of work to be done. Was not easy as i can't read Thais. Always bring the document to local colleagues for translation. Doing calculation for material n cost base of construction drawings...
But i still manage to steal some time to chat wif friend using msn. Hahaha.
The busy n fun end...
Around 4.30pm, I received a call from my sis ask me to do preparation.
1 hour later, she called again.
My beloved father pass away.
I was like a stone. I stood there. I din't cry. I don't know what to react with the news. Then, my mind told me to inform my manager. My manager, Mr. Ng YP expressed his condolence, ask me to put aside all the work n go back to Kuala Lumpur.
I took my passport from the office admin, Muay. The other colleague, Ning offer herself to fetch me to Suvarnabhumi airport. The traffic was a bit jam. There were 4 of us inside the Honda Jazz. Ning was the driver, i was sitting on the left. Muay n Chin siiting at the rear sits. We din't speak much. My mind was no there...
All the happy n sad moment wif my dad flashed in my mind. From the 1st memory in childhood till he was diagnosed as a pakinson's disease patient. Everything about us came into my mind in milisecond. His smile n laugh, his angry face. But i seldom saw his sad n savour moment, until he caught into the disease. A good father will always keep the sadness n savour moment for himself. Keep it away from family.He was always be there in the process of my life. Gave his guidance n shared his experiece. Contributed his best to the family.
The last time I talked to him was few weeks b4 he pass away. I talked to him over the phone on his birthday. I wished him happy birthday. He was so happy. Although he can't speak clearly cos by the feeding tube placed in his nose. But i still can heard him told me to take care myself. Dun worry about him. He said he is ok. The family members take care him well.
Still not reached the airport? Why Ning drove so slow?
These question ran into my mind...
But deep inside my heart, I knew the answer.
The airport was not far. Ning was not driving slow.
Because my heart pump so fast. I wan to be home so desparated.
The longest 1 hour that i ever had.
I tried to hide my tears n nernous. I made jokes in the car. N they just laugh wif me.
Finally, the airport was in our view. Ning search for the car park. The car was parked. I open the door. When I stepped my feet to the ground, oh my god! I can't felt my feet. I was nervous. It was late. Am I able to catch the nite flight? We went to every counter to ask 4 flight. Airasia, Thai Airways, MAS... Luck not on my side. At last, I bought the earliest flight for the next day from Airasia counter. The 3 angels bought me a delicious dinner b4 fetch me back to my hostel.
There can b only 1. My only beloved father.
There can b only 3. My 3 angels, Ning, Muay n Chin.

情为何物？
从小到大，不知情为何物。情只不过是戏里男男女女手拖手，情到浓时亲亲抱抱的老土故事。
十多岁是大家情花初开时。我却是个感情的白痴，只是一视同仁地对待身边每个朋友。每个朋友都是我的好朋友。
当时对朋友的热情带来了不少烦恼。身边的女同学开始有所行动了。情信，小礼物，甚至开口约会。在学业至上的大前提下，我拒绝了她们的好意。恐怖的是，她们可以把事情弄到全校皆知。甚至老师也找我问话。喜也？悲也？
某天，我的死党阿华叫我别和女同学阿仪太密切。我当然知道，阿仪是他的女朋友嘛。别担心，我当她是兄弟罢了。不久后，阿华开始疏远我了。打听下才知道，阿仪喜欢上我了！不得了。。。我拒绝了阿仪。阿华还是不理我，也不跟我说话了。。。
死党没了，女朋友没得到。两手空空。悲也。。。
他们没多久之后也分开了。
从此之后，不再热情。甚至开始自闭。
对情没了信心。。。
多年后在巴士上遇见阿华。没有相逢的喜悦，只有无限的尴尬。
阿华结婚了。没请我和阿仪出席宴会。
阿仪结婚了。我出席了她的宴会。
现在我和阿仪还是好朋友。
失去联络了。不知阿华的近况。应该当爸了吧。
阿仪已是两个孩子的妈。
祝福他们。。。
阿华，你放下了吗？
我还没。。。
