做業住囉 :]

之前係咁叫窮就是因為這樣,租屋都租了好幾年耶,也是時候升級了.

多人多的房地產呀,一點都不覺得有受金融風暴的影響耶,就算是有影響,也真是皮毛得不得了,bidding war 仍然 everywhere, 我們又不喜歡住 suburb (我至討厭就是動不動就開車的習慣,一來不環保,二來令人都懶惰起來),我們喜歡的那區,能夠 afford 到的屋也是豆潤咁細,同埋超爆舊.無辦法啦,鬼叫我窮咩.

屋細其實無所謂,鬼死咁大間屋執都執死你,我識得太多人間屋永遠都有一間房 or 一個廳係唔用既,除左鋪塵之外,都唔知要黎做乜.現在的,是比我的 ideal 小了點點,但 size-wise 還是蠻好的.

間屋真係ok舊的,咁高的樓齡,但很多好東西也沒翻新過,唉,不過暫時都住得落人,遲d儲到錢時才裝修吧.

唯一可幸的是我們能夠攞到貨款利息可以說是低一點點,但供樓還是會有點吃力,overseas travel (except HK) 暫時想都不用想 >_<,真的很興幸我哋喺買屋前去埋 Machu Picchu.

尋日正式攞到鎖匙囉,放工就去睇睇啦,發現上手留左好多垃圾同雜物,bear 一聲,雜物堆中,我哋搵到兩樣我哋可能會有用既野,其他的都是 junk, 淨係丟垃圾都有排搞.尋日快手巡左一下,然後就搞一下衞生,勁多塵,我負青掃地,sigh... 真係好彩間屋唔係大乍,至鬼憎做家務.一掃,就發現原來好已經好多年冇掃過地,通常都係用吸塵機搞掂.掃地實在太痛苦喇!

聽落去間屋好似好多野要搞咁,但其實係ok架,加上我既要求唔太高,所以真係ok架,如果我哋 somehow 真係 manage 到去 upgrade 佢,呢間屋既 potential 都唔錯架.得閒影d相先 post.

不知不覺其實住四年 basement喇, 終於可以上樓 lu~~~

Edible Arrangements

I don't know if the new company is any gd at the point, but they certainly knows how to boost morale. Right now, the two offices are still separated as they are trying to find a big enough building to accommodate everyone.

Today, our office received this yummy from the new company from edible arrangements.. to basically thank us for being coorporative in the transition. I mean, we didn't really do anything. I guess doing nothing is the best thing cos it means that we didn't riot.

For anyone who does not know what edible arrangement is all about:

I have always wondered what edible arrangements actually sells and today, I finally got a chance to have a sample. YUMMY! :]

輕度夢遊症

前兩天詹占說我在睡夢中打人喇,還不止一下啦,笑爆.

尋日朝佢又問我是不是發夢跑步啦,good guess, 我是發夢在跑樓梯耶.

昨晚半夜醒了,詹占又說我發開口夢,說了 "Sign languges, please". 但我真是不知道我發了什麼夢會咁講.

一直以來我間唔中都會瞓瞓吓 fing 手 fing 腳,都唔係第一次打中詹占架喇,真的是苦了詹占.詹占話我有時會好大力咁 fing 手落牆度,令我哋最大惑不解既係,點解我咁都可以唔醒?

近呢一年半載以來,常常都夢到某中學老屍,作死,做乜成日夢見佢?簡直係擾人清夢.

Disappointing Summer

This summer is quite disappointing so far. Has been so cold. I had to wear long sleeves shirt and pants to cycle to work instead of shorts. July already man.

I guess the cool weather means that by the time I got to work, I wouldn't look like I just got dumped on by a bucket of.

Has also been a very wet summer, raining pretty much every week. Well... I'm glad that I haven't planned any camping trip this year.

Our little herb garden is doing quite well though. Have eaten some of the harvest already. Pretty pleased with it. :)

合併

公司既合併終於落實了.上星期去了簽約耶,喺呢間公司咁多年,現在終於有一張約喇.不過也不是什麼大不了的,又不是升職加薪,其實重要的條款都可以算是一樣,只是現在白紙黑字了.

名義上是 merge, 實際上是大粒將我們賣了啦,大粒仍然是我的大粒,但他不再是最大粒,還會有一粒更大的在他之上.

新公司新制度,規模是大了,flexibility 就細了,很多的規條,不可著牛仔t-shirt, 遲到一定要通知 HR, 請假又要向 HR 申請(以前通常是向大粒講聲就可以).唉,不可著牛仔t-shirt,短褲波鞋更加唔駛諗,覺得好煩.

新制度之下,基本上開OT想出OT既 1.5 人工係 impossible,我就唔會再同佢開OT,開左少少OT都會遲到早退咁補返數.

算是有了 benefit, 但只係得保險,都冇工職金,保險又保得少,有 benefit 同冇 benefit 無乜分別.

But it seems like the ppl who are working there are quite happy. Maybe it's a gd company. I don't know. I'll have to see.

辣

點解有d人咁食得辣,而又有d人好似我咁,辣少少都想噴火?

Y I'm thinking about this? I'm in the process of suffering through some leftover food that is super spicy. 係辣到痴肺嗰隻。But I don't want to waste it, that's y I'm eating it. 尤其是家吓係超貧窮期,真係食得唔好洒,慳得就要慳。(至於點解咁窮,有機會再話過你知)

Anyway, what I really wanted to say is that 我一直都覺得食得辣既人係因為佢哋勁,但我一路食一路諗,會唔會其實係佢哋辣味既味蕾其實係 handicap,根本就唔係好食得出d辣味,所以先食得咁辣?勁嗰個原來唔係佢哋,而係我既味蕾?
