俺的三十大寿

不知不觉，轮到我了。

三十而已，你好。

这么特别的数字，跨过去了，好像人生就会天翻地覆一样。

三十而立，人人都这么说的。

我立了吗？

至少我给自己做了一个生日蛋糕，还是成就感满满的。

首次尝试，红菊蛋糕加芝士奶油霜！

祝我三十而立，生日快乐！

今年，还是选择平淡而过，毕竟疫情严重，

平淡就是福，所以要惜福。

谢谢大家给我的生日祝福。

大大小小，谢谢你们~

还有同事请我吃的肯德基无肉汉堡，

味道很厉害。

口感超像肉块的~

特别谢谢为我送花的花仙子~

 

有你真好~情人节快乐！

还有母难日快乐！

30年的养育，辛苦您了~

闺蜜们的线上祝福~

终于联系上了，超难得的。

这是很珍贵的时刻，谢谢你们。

最后，只想对自己说：

你很幸运，莫忘初衷，活在当下，做好自己。

 

2021之春: MCO新年

2021啊~你好好的吧。

春天来了，夏天还会远吗？

好久不见的朋友们~想念你们啦。

那天，我们就见面了，我带着我的新作品：

伯爵杯子蛋糕

出发去！

好友新居入伙，好开心~

环境不错，很适合小康之家呢！

然后提前庆生~

生日快乐，姐妹~

原来，我们又进阶到了聊房子的阶段，呵呵！

还有小家伙，越来越懂事了，加油！

在MCO恢复之前，

在疫情恶化之前，

我们来到了Bukit Gambir，

也是现在的Iconic 山。

这座山为什么那么特别？

 

因为，这是妈妈小时候居住的地方，我小时候的回忆。

可是被买下后，一切就变了。

以前满山的榴莲树，山竹、红毛丹等，任吃~

说什么，现在都没了。

我们存粹去回忆回忆，毕竟发展后的山丘，

早已经面目全非了。

那是公公婆婆的小园地，每天上山下山，真的不容易。

两老现在都80多岁了。

 

生日快乐，外公。

还有臭小子们，都超过半年没见了呢！

然后，没忘记帮妈妈庆生~

可是，这个分量太超过了~

 

生日快乐，母亲大人~

祝你健康、平安、喜乐。

那么，后来MCO就再次回归了！

回到办公室，不过一个星期，哈哈~

马上又被贬回居家办公~

又爱又恨啊~

两个星期，再两个星期，再两个星期~~

直接过年去啦！

牛转乾坤，麻利麻利哄~

这个春节，没有拜年，没有聚会，没有新衣。

红包还是要的，然后圈圈薯条还是要吃的。

就这样，没有照片了。

初三牛一，初四开工，

热烘烘的太阳，

圆滚滚的肚子~

不必应酬的新年，其实也没什么不好的。

你觉得呢？

2021之春，随着叶落叶生，

人们的生活马上又恢复了日常，

说好的MCO，其实也不过如此罢了。

 

装个逼，日子还是要过的。

我可爱吗？

但愿疫情会慢慢消退，

人生开始没有目标的时候，

很容易迷茫的。

“安于现状，

就像是穿着一双破洞的鞋，

不到暴风雨的日子

你都意识不到自己的装备不足。”

~共勉之~

2021, 你好。

2020溜走了，2021也接棒了。

我们有什么不一样吗？ 好像也没有。

新型冠状病毒依然来势汹汹，疫情没有最糟，只有更糟。

所以呢，和病毒共处是无可避免的。

可是我累了，每天都在怀疑自己是不是中招了？

小小症状都疑神疑鬼，因为我不想被送到隔离所，也不想去害人。

这种日子好累。

头痛、疲惫、呼吸困难，全因为跨年期间外出了几次。

所以没事千万别出门，否者自己都没办法确保自己是否安全。

2021年的第一篇日志，应该是要写新年期许的。

毕竟这是三十而已的第一章，要充满朝气，要励志才行。

可是怎么好像都提不起劲？

回到办公室的一个礼拜后，立马又恢复居家办公的日子。

开始了3000+确诊的日子，什么时候可以恢复单位数呢？

不想了，反正大家都好像习惯了，不在害怕的啦。

没事，既来之，则安之呗。

2021是三十而立的一年。

但三十也不过一个数字，也没在怕的啦。

得稳住，心境上的变化，可以明显看出来。

三张了，还有一半的人生，应该让自己快乐一些的。

看了《SOUL》动画片之后，明白了人生，没有Purpose也没关系的。

总有一些Spark，会让你活出精彩人生。

原来，从前的我也一直问自己，这一辈子存在的意义究竟何在？

我是不是有一些任务，是上天要我去发掘的呢？

苦恼了好久，或许体会人生也是一种特别的任务呢？

每天认真的活着，用心感受每一刻，关心自己的感受。

即便没有多大的成就，没有别人所谓的成功，那也无所谓。

毕竟每个人追求的不一样，活得好好的就好。

如何判断一个人活得好不好？

最简单的判断标准就是：看这个人活得有没有的选择。

这是蔡康永所说的。

我只求活得坦然自在，问心无愧，应该也不过分。

那么三十而立这一年，还是要好好追求许许多多曾经的小梦想。

为自己增值吗？或许吧。还在等待伯乐。

三十而立，解释起来大概是说，懂得自己的方向，不再彷徨迷茫。

知道自己要做什么，然后坚持下去，不像孩子般懵懂。

即便沿途依然跌跌撞撞，那也是成长过程，是人生的故事。

不需要轰轰烈烈的宣告世界，默默耕耘也是一种前进的模式。

不去羡慕玫瑰的高贵，努力绽放成灿烂的太阳花。

那么说完了，2021的第一篇，其实也只是给自己的一个叮嘱。

每一天都是恩赐，每一天都是一个机会，每一天都值得庆祝……

因为能够大口大口的呼吸真的很幸运！

所以，我期待，三十而已。

你呢？

Dear Ferries of Penang, You Will Be Missed!

Before 2020 ends, here's a really sad news for all Penangites.

The hallmark of 126 years...is no longer in service in 2021 onwards.

I don't know what to say, this is really heart breaking.

30th December, mum and I decided to go for one last ride...

After our classic breakfast, kopi and wan tan mee, 

we headed to the port for the last ferry ride.

Yes, our historical ferry service.  

Even the iconic footbridge is no longer around after an incident. 

Life has changed a lot in decades, 

but this port and bus station means so much to everyone.

It is always there even when I was just a kid.

We travelled from Kedah to Penang, ferry ride is a must.

Mum brought us along, 

I swear it is a memorable one.

When the shop lots were occupied...

Now most of them are empty.

The happy walkway.

And the colourful and sour smell of jeruk~

When the service is terminated, this port will not be in function anymore.

I guess?

This port, with all the people in and out everyday...

Smell of the sea breeze...

This is where we said our last goodbye...

And ofcourse, cars and motorbikes!

No longer with car and motorbikes...

So there were a lot of people like us, trying to take the last ride.

This will be missed!

My heart felt the pain of losing the ferry service,

disappointed as well.

But the business is not as good as before,

 while the maintenance fees are really high.

Perhaps, changes are good?

When you are about to lose it,

only you will realise the value of it.

It is a mixed feeling for me.

What about you?

New service announcement, 

not sure I like the new boat or not.

One last look of the waiting hall of the port...

As people come, 

people go as well.

Here's my one last ride.

Mum said: Let it be.

Memories will be treasured.

Favourite corner when I was small,

because of the junk food!

Thank you for the service, Sir!

Taking off~

Hey! You look cool.

Leaving the port and here we go!

Mum and her half day trip to mainland, haha!

Reminiscing the good old times...

Indeed, ferry ride carries not only human but also their dreams.

Took this panorama view and ops!

Toilet view is included~

 

Me and my one last ride, 

I m going to miss this a lot!

>.<

Thanks for suggesting this.

There were quite a few people who are like us,

just to take the last ride on this day.

Life goes on?

Nope, life happens in this ferry.

Everyone has their own story about ferries.

Mine is a journey to go home.

126 years, thank you for the service.

And I always wonder about the life jackets on top ever since I was a kid.

Then we saw the new boats....

Hmm, not excited about it.

Here we arrived, Penang Sentral~

Off the boat, and this uncle was totally like us!

Just to keep the sweet memories in photographs~

Entrance~

Old school ferries that are left behind...

Maybe can turn them into a cafe?

So our journey at Penang Sentral was a simple one, 

few drinks and toilet break.

Then off we go, back to the ferry to go home~

I can't help but feeling sad inside...

I am hoping for some good news,

maybe like transforming these ferries into something else,

so that we can visit again.

I do hope that we can still visit one day.

Because this is a part of Penang's heritage.

One peaceful ride with mum, 

I am really glad that we actually made time to do this.

The wind and sound and waves...

Not forgetting how the seawater has changed in colour and marine debris floating around...

And also the classic green floor~

Rusty, because they were in rain and under sun...

What a sad day...

everyone felt the same I think.

And it was quite a quick ride...

And we arrived...

Back to this lonely but happy walk way...

We spent quite a long time today, mission accomplished.

Who knows what will happen after this?

How their life is going to change?

Their life is here!

Even the siu bao (pork delicacy) is no longer available due to halal issue.

It used to be our must buy when we come to the port.

Well, though I no longer consume meat.

Haha, life has really changed.

But dear Ferries,

You are awesome!

I have faith, that this is not the end yet!

Penang will not let you go.

We are not happy but we will try something for sure.

Let's pray and hope for the best.

Last but not least,

Thank you for the service,

our unsung heroes.

You did great.
