Much Delayed X Thankfully No Hassle: Collecting an Undelivered Parcel

Sleep time has been messed up again

and i can’t sleep at this hour

a really bad sleep deprivation circle

and i ended up napping for hours

in the afternoon

*

woke up at 4

to get some work done

and decided to head out

for some fresh air

*

and to get things done

a parcel which failed to be

delivered as we were away

and i ended up at this part of the city

which i am quite unfamiliar with

thank goodness

it was easy to locate this place

*

the guy got my parcel really fast

and said that yeah they tried to call

a couple of times but wasn’t able to reach

*

let’s see

i ordered this during June 13

delay after delay

from shipping to hold-up

*

it took more than 10 days

well.. this was way out of expectation

because i did take into consideration

about us being away

before ordering

*

when i saw the arrival tab on 21

i thought it was about to be delivered

but it wasn’t…

not even on the 22nd and 23rd

*

they may make a 2nd delivery

who knows

but the problem is

we were running low on supply

and it could have negative consequences

on the whole family if

it’s completely finished

*

there you are

milk powder for my nephew 

*

yeah…

not your average online shopping

i shop for everything from

wok, milk powder to

luncheon meat for the family

*

time to drop more orders

as i am not travelling

anytime soon

*

till then

it is going to be a busy Friday

family gathering at my place

end-of-month invoicing

and more shopping to be done

since i have a 18% promo code

expiring by end of today

*

Roar!!! Dilemma!

*

by the way suddenly remember that

i need to confirm this purchase

by end of June which is today

to qualify for 22% credit rebate

yeah… added bonus

*

can put my phone on

flight mode 24/7 again

before i am expecting

any new parcel again

*

more milk powder?

there’s free shipping..

怕真相太難看 X 勉強好聚好散：嗯…就這樣

昨天有點忙 直到晚上

終於有時間坐下

天啊 正好十點

居然趕上娃娃時段的

最後一輪首播

*

其實我也有夠笨的

還有兩小時不是就

可以直接下載了

*

但是聽首播就是有種

莫名的滿足感

*

雖然李榮浩的歌

很大部分首次聽 很有可能

是不太能get到哪裡好聽

*

嗯 確實

今天放耳機在

火車上單曲循環

感覺馬上就出來了

*

尤其是這一句

「以為可以功德圓滿

最後勉強好聚好散」

*

施人誠老師

一針見血的詞

但對於李榮浩

確實這種比較

有「人間煙火」的情歌

確實是新嘗試

*

感覺和《說謊》

有異曲同工的相似之處

就說得都是反話

*

【你也不要說需要我原諒 】

其實就是 你不必說對不起

*

【是我太常讓你失望

不夠貼心包容溫暖          

才會落得這個下場

和背叛 無關】

這段也是。。。

*

"就這樣吧….."

嗯 I think I am

somehow guilty of this

at some point of my life

*

過了多久 反正也忘了

自己是辜負別人

還是被辜負的那方

*

就這樣 / 李榮浩   作詞：施人誠 作曲：李榮浩 不忍看你像個嫌犯 我就不再追問答案 你的沉默已經回答 夠直接 了當 是我太常讓你失望 不夠貼心包容溫暖 才會落得這個下場 和背叛 無關 就這樣 就這樣 你不用 不自然 你也不要說需要我原諒 別讓我 多想 就這樣 就這樣 怕真相 太難看 我想對愛情還抱有希望 我們倆 就這樣 以為能夠功德圓滿 最後勉強好聚好散 一段感情這樣收場 你也會 遺憾 就這樣 就這樣 你不用 不自然 你也不要說需要我原諒 別讓我 多想 就這樣 就這樣 怕真相 太難看 我想對愛情還抱有希望 反正你 也沒差 就這樣 就這樣 怕真相 太難看 我想對愛情還抱有希望 我們倆 就這樣

*

已經10：30 PM 了

說好的MV還沒來呢

*

不好意思

原來MV是7月4日推出

並非6月28

是我自己看錯了

*

就這樣 / 李榮浩 （特別演出：馬思純）

金曲獎 X 雜談：嗯，還不是想說李榮浩

好吧 我承認

我最初決定收看金曲獎

是因為這個

完全沒有入圍 還有表演

完全是bonus 

*

今天是星期六嘛

我在東京。天氣晴

慶幸的是 今天提早結束行程

而且還撿到1小時的時差

所以可以從DJ Dennis & Lulu的

紅地毯就開始收看了

*

截這張是因為

眾多帥哥美女當中

總有個標新立異的

我感覺

* 

這段怎麼就剛好找到楊丞琳了

珊妮老師終於沒有這麼酷了

*

盧凱彤宣布

已經和太太結婚這段

其實也不算太太太意外

只是人家一直以為她和林二汶是一對

對不起 是我想多了

今年年底 at17又重組咯

*

林宥嘉這段穩穩的

雖然只有一首

有點期待是組曲

*

哈哈哈！

來了

*

其實不是同台

是楊丞琳當頒獎人

前腳走後

李榮浩的表演就來了

*

哇靠 這個格局

真的很浩浩蕩盪

個人演唱會的感覺

*

唱到這句想到：

額 你媳婦剛走耶

要不我們叫她回來？

*

只能說給足了面子

一個表演嘉賓也沒有入圍

唱三首+jamming

國語、粵語、台語

簡直帥炸了

*

唯一美中不足的是

鼓手不是荒井吧？

是入圍兼得獎者

*

天啊 比起鼓手

這個級別很高

而且是兩個大獎

*

這張專輯我無意間聽過

就阿爆上電台介紹過

這種感覺很奇妙

即使聽不懂一個字

也能感受到其中的氣氛

*

這段。。

就不多說了

*

每一段五月天的入圍、得獎

都是一片尖叫

表演也不例外 好像encore段

天啊 每當梁家輝的MV片段出現

就會有種在金像（馬）獎的錯感

  *

這段我覺得林宥嘉會贏耶

其實我除了 不太喜歡紅先生

其他的入圍者誰得獎都好

*

我那天有偷偷去

聽了郭頂的音樂

之前先入為主地以為

可能他有點像李榮浩

但他倆的音樂路線完全不一樣

確實有被驚艷到

尤其是那首《》

（歌名太長，我必需找找）

*

天啊 Soulboy 陪跑了

至少10年之久吧

好像從2008年的《橙月》

就一直入圍很多、呼聲也高

卻鎩羽而歸 有點失落

從大行變成獨立製作

終於終於

  *

兩代的華納人

拍到台下的老蕭了

他和老蕭在華納當時是好朋友

當然 這時候我又想到李榮浩了

*

緊張 緊張了起來

其實我的top 2 是

魏如萱和艾怡良

但其他女歌手都是

我相當欣賞的

*

然後艾怡良跑出了

*

其實之前覺得

她本來可以更紅

就如果她不是被張碧晨PK掉

*

但是那不是別人

是張碧晨耶

就是那種有冠軍相

擋其者必將被犧牲那種

*

但或許因為這樣

就造就了艾怡良

在創作上更高的成就

*

不是吧

羅大佑老師

是吃了防腐劑？

有童年的人 永遠不會老？

*

好吧

雖然最初收看確實有其他目的

但金曲獎每每打動到我的

是這些台語、客家語、原住民音樂

*

晚安！

[TBC] 01: Narita – Nippori via Keisei Express

have visited the Keisei Express site

for a couple of times

*

the reason why

we chose to stay at Nippori

in the first place

is simple because there are

different trains to travel

to and fro the airport

*

this is of great importance

as our out-bound flight is at 10:30 AM

and we would like to do some shopping

*

oh my

to read these maps and let me

put these down in table form

which can be broken down as 3 maps*

which can be summarized as

Name	Color	Fare (Yen)	Duration (Min)	Platform (T2/3)	Platform (Nippori)	Frequency
Skyliner	Blue	2470	36	1	1	1-3 per hour
Sky Access (Access Express)	Orange	1240	63	1	2	1-2 per hour
Keisei Main Line (Ltd Express)	Red	1030	72	3	2	3 per hour Highest

*

and

the frequency map

the timing has to be double confirmed

especially for Keisei Main Line

some of those which departs from Nippori

doesn’t actually head to the airport

those in red (LEX NA) are..

  * 

this will definitely be helpful for us

and hopefully for others too

*

there’s a planner on the home page

to clear things out* 

to make things easier

it will display

the timing and fare

of different options available

*

Unicorns in Saigon 01: Overview

the previous meet up was like

last Christmas

and the next one is

see you at the airport!

*

4 Days 3 Nights in Saigon

and we basically cover

all the must-visits or eats

*

War History

• War Remnants Museum
• Cuchi Tunnel
• Independence Palace

*

Other Landmarks

• Notre Dame Cathedral
• Saigon Post Office
• Saigon Opera House

*

Shopping

• Bến Thành Market
• Aeon

*

Food

• Pho
• Banh Minh
• String roll
• Café hopping

*

not sure when will i

come back to write the next

or maybe i wouldn’t at all

*

till then

this is my favourite view

from the rooftop of our hotel

the pool is in fact very small

but looks very photogenic

父親節 X 談談錢：就這麼膚淺

不想談父親節

不想談送了什麼禮物

*

我給他打了五千塊

匯款備註那裡

隨手寫了Father’s Day

哦 還有一行

就順便寫了 Fridge

*

其實打錢和父親節

沒半毛關係

是買冰箱用的

*

後來才發現

五千塊真的很小

*

冰箱好像是三千幾

不久前修冷氣、修車

還有我之前欠他五百

*

算起來 我爹真的

也沒啥可撈了

*

錢真的很小

我盡力吧

*

雖然說

給錢很膚淺

額 但這個絕對不能用來

當作不給錢的藉口

*

爸媽拿你的錢

首先 他得肯定

你有這能力 才掏得出錢

否則 不可能要你的錢

所以 給錢是一份心安

*

其次

別把盡孝放得太大

我覺得這就是本份

於情於理本該如此

*

其三

別攀比 尤其是

沒有最壞 只有更壞

千萬別說：

我沒像XX跟爸媽要錢

已經很不錯啦

*

因為你也知道

相反地

爸媽給你的只有最好

*

其四

如果你爸媽不要你的錢

或者拿了錢也不用

那換個方式吧

*

把家裡的賬單

全部或部分承包起來

就說 網上繳費

即安全又方便

*

網購的時候

除了給自己買鞋買衣

還可以給爸媽買

還可以買些吃的用的

就說網上打折

*

其五

別說你爸媽還有能力

不需要這錢

樹欲靜而風不止

硬道理就是這樣

*

救命

已經快編不下去了。。

Found but Can’t Book X Solved in 10 Mins: Pocket Wi-Fi, Done

have to get a

portable Wi-Fi router

or data SIM card for

our upcoming trip

*

since our host is not providing one

and our travel mates

(the businessmen)

kind of need Internet

*

then again..

i actually decided to

opt for the one from

Facebook sponsored ad

(with 7 likes from mutual friends)

although i hardly came across it previously

*

lowest rate (15 MYR)

with unlimited data

*

then found that

i can’t create a booking

probably because 5 working days

before departure is required

and 22nd can’t even be selected

*

so i dropped them a Whatsapp text

and all i need to do is to

drop my application

via Whatsapp instead

*

instant booking confirmation

proceed to payment

instant payment confirmation

*

everything is done

within 10+ minutes

*

and..

they are nice enough

to take one day off

and fill up the order as

23rd 00:00 AM

since we are flying on

11:30 PM on 22nd

*

i had thought of doing that too

when i failed to book online

but was afraid that

that wouldn’t do

*

thumbs up for the

(1) great customer service

(2) flexibility

(3) efficiency

*

not forgetting

the best rate available!

*

Free Shipping X 1, 2, 3…: More UTs

Last Friday

got this newsletter

free shipping for all orders

(usually it’s 150 MYR)

*

Thanks dad!

*

then i decided to order a Moomin UT

featuring Little My!!

at 50% off

and it’s not available in-store

at the Uniqlo near me

*

got it yesterday

which was a Thursday

*

entered the website

oh no

the other few Peanuts UTs

from previous year were

also on sale at 50% off

*

oh my my

i would like to have those

will they deliver on time

before we travel?

*

that’s the question

which have been bugging me

for the past one week

before i check out items

*

i ordered anyway

since i ordered the first

during last Friday evening

and got it on Thursday afternoon

*

i am willing to take the risk

so i ended up ordering another

three Peanuts UT all in white

*

have been looking for

plain white tees

but quite a few that

i saw were either too thin

too tight or too girlish

*

have faith in UT

and the printed graphic is small

wait..

except…

*

erm.. first beagle on the moon

an important milestone in human’s history

*

since i own the VANS X Peanuts

Joe Cool sunnies

this will go so well with that sunnies

lolz.. two sunnies at the same time

*

my dad owns this in army green

his favourite UT being

Charlie Brown on the dance floor

which he wears once almost every week

and this will be our second pairs of

matching UTs

*

my Peanuts UTs

have left warehouse today

yeah!!!

*

next morning

in less than 48 hours

since i ordered

*

Meet Debby X My Ex Homie: And We’re Heading to Krabi

yesterday

no the day before

*

8 something in the morning

waking up to find

a text from a friend

i have not met for ages

*

she texted me 7 something

in the morning

that’s rare wow

asking how am i doing

*

and within 10 sentences

we actually decided that

we should really meet up

*

and ended up planning a trip

together for real!!

*

and yeah

not for the sake of saying!

*

like sometimes

when you tell another person like

we should plan a trip together

*

you actually don’t mean it

or even if you do

the other person who

immediately answered yeah

actually doesn’t mind it too

*

and the trip shall

never ever happen

in years to come

*

by 8:20 AM

i was looking on AirAsia

since she suggested Phuket

*

i actually didn’t mean

to fix the destination as Phuket

but was just randomly looking

with a random date

*

and i must say that

the flight ticket

is kinda tempting

*

i went back to work

waiting for her to

finalize the dates

which coincides with

her firm holidays

*

by 10:30 AM

we had the dates locked down

*

by 10:45 AM

we decided to go to Krabi instead

(1) less commercialized

(2) i.e. cheaper

(3) i have not been there

*

by 11 AM

realizing that she needs to apply leave

missed out that line

thank goodness i scrolled back

looking for her info for booking

so we decided to fly on a Saturday

seriously cheap

for a public holiday cum weekend

*

by 11:15 AM

booked

and we are good to go

*

gosh

i can’t believe it

planning a trip and

booking flight tickets

within 3 hours

just like that

*

it’s just like committing

a shopping crime

and i actually feel guilty

*

but what differs from

shopping is

i may have regretted

buying something i don’t need

or of disappointment to me

*

but i have never and will never

regret over a trip taken

no matter what takes place

*

i feel like destroying this photo

for sure!!

what the hell is wrong

with that red check shirt with

white cargo pants

and orange bag!!!

*

we were neighbours

not even course mates

but somehow we found

a lot of things in common

and ended up spending time

in each other’s room chatting

*

being an anti-socialist

that’s rare for sure!!

*

she knows how i live

and i knows how she does

so i don’t foresee any issue

travelling with her

despite the short planning

and despite not meeting

for at least 7 years

*

at least now

i have two pairs of

upcoming flight tickets

something to look forward to

and less insecurity

*

遠親 X 不如近鄰：助你化險為。。咦？

常言道：

遠親不如近鄰

*

這句話我必需舉手贊同的

至少遠親一年就見一次

討人厭也不過如此

但如果您很不幸

有非常“靠背”的鄰居

這種討人厭是防不勝防的

*

例如：

今天早上

我在外面曬衣服

*

突然我家對面的女士

就走了過來

問我：你們去日本哪裡？

*

F 走漏風聲了

不必問 一定是我媽

*

聽說我們要去東京

她就很激動地說

他們家有一些冊子

他們家兒子去旅遊展

拿了很多 要丟掉了

可以給我們

*

我說不用

有app了

*

然後她就很堅持

反正要丟掉的東西是吧

*

重點來了

重點來了

重點來了

*

然後她就說：

東京迪士尼很小

她去了兩次

每次都是帶人去

她可以教我怎麼去

*

還有什麼：

亞洲的都很小

LA 的比較大

*

日本不好玩啦

又不會說英語

*

一直不讓她的兒子

計劃去日本

可他們又不聽

*

沒有什麼給我們

所以就把這些給我們啦

（萌萌達。。。。）

*

沒什麼給我們

這是真的！！

有一次應該是西安回來

她說那裡的什麼

辣椒零食好吃

*

然後她回家找了相當久

以紙巾端了大概十顆小辣椒

當作手信給我們就是了

*

。。。。。

您曾經對我說

童話裡都是騙人的

道理我都懂

*

但是一大早

就有人來粉碎

你們一大家子

迪士尼的美夢

你說呢

*

首先

迪士尼老娘去過了三次

至於從哪個門走

當然是從正門呀 不然呢

*

至於日本

我們家裡也去了不下三次

我覺得他們英文

沒什麼問題呀

*

迪士尼 小

好呀 整合我們心意

太大小孩走得多累呀

*

---

話說回來

這個是一個

很好的反面教材

*

下一次聽到朋友說

接下來要去哪去哪

你可以表示

（1）好呀 那裡不錯

（2）給幾個比較有用的貼士

（3）祝他旅途愉快

*

而不是 拿一些

你們家要丟掉的地圖

來炫耀你有去過多少次

那裡其實不好玩

*

好了 吐糟完畢

*

地圖還居然還是

11/12年版的

這。。。還能用嗎？

Flamingo X Coca-Cola: Denim Jogger @ Terranova

We have been talking about joggers

since quite some time ago

when i met up with my

favorite nephew

before he left

*

was going around

helping him to find one

*

he is now about

to come back

for his summer break

*

then months after

i spotted female’s version

at Terranova

quite some time ago

*

from past experience

knowing that

their price can actually go

low.. low.. low.. low…

*

it’s about time i guess

as i saw their further mark-down

post on my FB feed today

*

so this is actually my first try

although jogger pants

come with cuffs

i am so used to rolled up

that i must!!!

well.. my legs are not long enough

that’s for sure

*

both of us bought the same pair

the last time we took such photo

at Terranova was Nov 11 last year

*

haha

this woman has to come over

because i can’t possibly go over

*

she was telling me that

i should get this

since this coincides with my

favourite song by Li Ronghao 李榮浩

The Big Sun《大太陽》

*

but i am kinda fed up with

knotted cropped top

because i don’t have the abs to

wear them on its own

and it’s kinda troublesome

to wear two pieces

*

and it defeats the point of

designing it as a knotted top

*

so i ended up

buying this

because my chambray jogger

goes well with plain white

*

and this

which kinda describes

who i am and what i do

*

and..

later at VANS

Vans X Peanuts Part 2: Ended Up Buying..

*

drinking Coke

actually is kinda addicted

and both of us got that shirts

and same pairs of jogger pants

cheers!! root beer for a change

*

Vans X Peanuts Part 2: Ended Up Buying..

from the previous post

Vans X Peanuts: By Schulz (of course :p)

*

i am actually not really interested

in the sneakers as

i am used to buying Vans in

plain black, blue etc..

pretty much the basic colours

*

but the window display

was pretty impressive

and it actually surprised me

being in a small city where

usually crossover collections

are not released / delayed

*

and these

*

the other side of the display

*

the kids’ collection

*

*

i bookmarked this from Vans China

*

but since it wasn’t posted

on Vans Malaysia

so i thought it’s not available

*

hey what a surprise

*

and i actually ended up

buying the shades

which looks like this

*

my bestie was considering

between these and the

Charlie Brown’s Authentic

limited sizes are available in-store

no worries.. there’s always online store

*

let’s see

what she ends up buying

i am quite interested in the box

*
