2025/08/21: 不尋

如果動物出現不尋常的舉動

肯定是有問題

應該早點察覺的

*

首先發現通常不會進來

只在外面討摸的社區貓 AB

走進家裏的樹下

*

一直往樹上看

樹上的鳥好像叫很大聲

是這個原因把 AB 吸引進來的嗎?

*

平時不喜歡社區貓的胖家貓

也沒出現把對方趕走

連動作比較敏捷的小貓也沒走過來

這點也很奇怪

*

胖貓在車底

奇怪 就屁股對著外面

通常都不是這樣坐的

畢竟隨時還保持警惕

從來不會背對著外面

到底是在做什麽的

*

走近才發現

啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!

原來胖貓在看著小貓

玩弄著一隻活的小鳥

*

所以是怎樣把鳥從樹上弄下來的?

怪不得樹上一陣轟動

*

把鳥弄到手的時候

雖然還有心跳 羽毛也沒損傷

但顯然奄奄一息了

*

帶進屋裏

還能站立 眼睛也張開

就是翅膀都沒反應

就看過一陣會好嗎

*

讓他看看窗外的樹

跟他說 暫時照顧你

好了再回到樹上和家人團聚

*

後來放回籠

已經站不穩 頭都低下

再拿出來看 沒有心跳了

*

這是經我手

救不回的第二隻鳥

如果早點發現樹上有動靜

如果從樹上掉下來沒有被貓發現

如果 如果 如果

*

經過這腥風血雨

也不知道鳥群是搬走

還是繼續住下去

*

估計幼鳥不是貓弄下來的

上一次是烏鴉群來搶幼鳥

幼鳥就這樣掉地

就這樣不幸 地上有貓

再加上後知後覺的人類

保護不力

*

只好安慰自己

至少是完好無損地送走他

不是被玩死的

*

2025/08/12: June

Waddled through June

with a challenging project

back and forth

the fear is real

what if I lose the client due to

mishandling of this single project

*

Forget about the extra time and effort spent

just want to get this right

for once and for all

*

Started to grab the pattern

after these months

when to expect a peak and trough

throughout the month

*

Feared for the worst in July

i actually left a few POs

completed, ready for billing

so that I at least have something

to start the third quarter with

*

Towards the end of the month

on a Friday which was a local public holiday

a friend suddenly texted to see if

i want to hang out

*

that is not what we usually do

as we usually meet up on Sunday

but readily said yes

thinking perhaps she wanted to

have a quick catch-up

in the middle of a peak

*

It felt good after that quick session

hope she felt the same

even though that means

falling out with my usual routine

e.g. leaving the cats waiting for their treat until late

almost can’t hit my minimum reading time  

skipped workout routine all together

*

and lost some sleep

due to the Matcha latte

taken too late  

*

2025/07/24: 分類

給小朋友買了一套 LEGO 經典盒桶

原本有的積木

每次收拾起來都哀哀叫

現在再加 400+

這不是搬石頭砸自己的腳!

*

目前除了小零件

分裝在 3 個盒子

其他都是裝在一個木箱内

想分裝但遲遲還沒行動

*

看見新的是按照顔色分裝成 6

就乾脆參考這樣的顔色

找來六個盒子 把新舊的都

按顔色分裝

*

紅色褐色、橙色黃色、

青色、藍色、

紫色白色、黑色灰色各一盒

後來黑色灰色好像有點多

又分成兩盒

*

終於啊 多年的按顔色分類

終於實現了

3 盒各類小零件

7 盒按顔色分類

*

神奇的是

分類後真的沒有這麽亂

因爲之前都是爲了找一小片

散落滿地 玩一次收一次

一天可能收三次 也是常事

*

小朋友會自己按顔色放回盒子

即使沒有放回

剩下的收起來也不這麽費時了

*

2025/07/14: 隱藏

習慣性在外用餐

尤其是到新的地方

會打開谷歌地圖

看看用戶評分

借此探索新的店

*

幾個禮拜前就這樣

發現了一家

隱藏在酒店大廳的

意式冰淇淋店

*

從外面完全看不到店面

必須走進酒店大廳

才看見這家小店

兼酒店的迷你便利店

*

質感相當綿密扎實

味道也夠濃鬱

選的是宇治抹茶

還有 70%  黑巧

*

現場剩下很少量的

是本地特色口味

椰糖和榴蓮

*

大熱天 看著酒店的旅客來往

有種僞度假的感覺

*

看見店内有客人在吃窩夫

看著好像很不錯

剛在隔壁吃過飯的我們

也只好下次再試

*

隔了一個禮拜再去

窩夫賣相就很好

蓬鬆蓬鬆的

咖啡廳適合打卡的那種

在冰淇淋店吃倒是可以

隨便搭想要的冰淇淋

太好了

*

只因糖的扣打很有限

所以必須好好揮霍

在好吃的甜點上

*

也吃了兩個在地口味

椰糖還好 沒有想象中濃鬱

但有點像小時候彩色包裝的椰糖

倒是榴蓮 小朋友試吃后

各點了一球坐在角落慢慢吃完

*

店員說

下次再集兩個印章

就能拿到免費的一球了

*

2025/06/30: May

started May with a large project

something which has not been done in awhile

that required a time tracking sheet

and spent a few days and nights

just to work on a single project

which turned out to be quite a satisfaction

when the whole thing was completed

*

things took a different turn

during mid of the month

after getting notification about

further change of policy

which will result in further pay cut

w0ith immediate implementation

*

It’s not just about uncertainties anymore

but it just went crashing down

but first took a few days to

enjoy the quiet days after the rush

*

there were these moments that

i wished i am not doing this anymore

but no I still need the money

and this is still something i enjoy doing

look it’s not so bad after all

back and forth

*

towards the end of the month

thank goodness to the large project

which made up of 60+% of my total in May

that was how bad things were

but it happened to be the highest in 2025

*

so i really didn't know 

what to expect next

*

2025/06/24: 提拉

花了大半個下午

處理完一些棘手的工作

七點下班的星期六

*

運動可以先等等

去冰箱切一小塊提拉米蘇

吃過了感覺靈魂都得到救贖了

*

在主打貝果和酸種麵包的

小型烘焙坊看到提拉米蘇

看著像 6 寸迷你蛋糕

而且也不貴

可以稱得上經濟

*

還附上一杯咖啡泡沫醬

可以澆淋在提拉米蘇上

*

據説這個咖啡醬稱爲 Crème Crown

加上超大的 Tiramisu for Two

是一家連鎖咖啡店的撤銷甜點

*

偶爾其他人會好奇

不喝咖啡的

怎麽會喜歡吃提拉米蘇呢?

*

唯有甜點那一點點少而濃咖啡

再搭配其他原料

才不會造成喝咖啡的連鎖反應

*

第二個原因是提拉米蘇

即沒有奶油也沒有蛋糕

濃郁飽和的口感

剛好滿足對甜品的渴望

*

把提拉米蘇冷凍起來

口感好像雪糕

該不會一口一口(吃掉憂愁)

整個都吃掉了吧

還是快點去煮個晚餐好了

*

2025/06/12: 慷慨

用了兩天看了 3

巴黎歐萊雅的繼承人

貝當古女士的故事

《The Billionaire, The Buttler, and the Boyfriend》

*

貝當古女士:

Would you regret, if you could,

being too generous?

Whatever!

They say we’re too generous.

I’m too generous, then.

To hell with them!

No? No!

That’s life!

We can make mistakes.

But is being too generous a mistake?

Tell me.

*

記者:

If you can afford it,

I guess not.

*

貝當古女士笑著説:

So, you forgive me?

*

“c'est la vie”

當然 那是一整段

唯一聽得懂的一句

感覺不能更在貼切了

突然產生肅然起敬的感覺

*

真的 如果有錢

誰會責怪自己太慷慨呢?

*

雖然煩惱如何處置錢財

比起煩惱怎樣找錢好

但發現影集所描述的那些

有錢人才會面對的問題

是挺煩人

*

希望她晚年的那幾年

是真的快樂

或者不記得才更快樂?

2025/06/01: April

setting job insecurity aside

April was a pretty fulfilling month

of meet-ups, cheat days and

ended up adopting a new kitten

*

gave up two live shows

one had been on my wish list for a long time

one was a recent favorite

*

but there isn’t anything too painful about it

that makes me go like

damn should have gone instead

*

and guess what THE FIRST TAKE channel 

is showing the live showcase

CENTRAL MUSIC & ENTERTAINMENT FESTIVAL 2025

both Taipei and KL shows (premieres today!)

*

the concert took place on 26 Apr

which was the night i picked up the kitten

behind my house!!!

if i were to go to the concert...

*

then there was this feeling that

i thought I could have saved a lot from

not doing this and that

*

but nope some non-recurring expenses

will always come your way and say

look we will not make things easier for you

*

so did i buy anything for myself this month?

no i didn’t

in fact I had nothing in mind or in cart

but thanks to everyone

who made this month felt special

with the cake, gifts and wishes

*

2025/05/30: Catured

April was flying by fast

and suddenly interrupted by

a baby kitten walking in

with a badly infected eye

*

and there you go  

taking care of a kitten recovering from surgery

making sure my fat cat didn’t feel abandoned

*

the surgery left him with one eye

but could tell he was doing much better than

having a horrible looking eye that could burst anytime

*

it is funny to see

how the cats have totally different characters

and they almost don’t interact at all

except being thrown a few punches

after some sniffing

*

i was mad at my cat at first

since the kitten was clearly suffering from his injury

but cat being cat

she showed no empathy okay

*

but as the kitten was recovering

these punches don’t post threat to him anymore

in fact he will quickly jump away

when he was being sniffed

*

the funny thing is

my big cat never seems to mind

whenever the kitten is eating from her bowl

like after he finishes his share of food

that’s when she will just look on

and i have to step in by taking the kitten away

just to make sure she has at least eaten something

*

the kitten’s parents drop by separately

from time to time to look at the kitten from far

they seem super guilty and acknowledge

their act of child abandonment

like whenever I tell the kitten his papa or mama is here

and show him where the parent is

the parent will just run or go into hiding

*  

wait i was supposed to write about my work in April

but ended up writing a post dedicated to my cats

but cats are the reason i stay in my job, right?

especially with two of them to feed now

*

2025/05/24: 沿戶

下午在忙其他事

門鈴響了 在客廳的小朋友說

裝著制服 好像是傳教的

*

是洋人嗎?不是

那是穿綠褲?是

那大概是賣校慶固本的學生

*

雖然每次都教小朋友

如果陌生人叫門

當作沒人在就好了

但居然連校服都認不出

還什麽傳教的?

*

出去看

他們兩組各三人

還在同一條街上叫門

就把他們叫回來

*

買了一本 100

叫小朋友到時約朋友去走走看看

去年一起去的時候

他居然處處有認識的人

*

他們離開後

聽到街上有歡呼的聲音

好像説 至少達到目標了

*

現在沿戶籌款確實很難

謝謝同學們還愿意在大熱天

以這樣的方式幫自己的學校籌款

*

雖然之前也是有出現過熱議

學校是否應該讓學生這樣出來籌款

反正我是遇見就會多少支持的那派

*

2025/05/19: 換位

某天去常去的店吃飯

午餐時間 但不太多人

可能就三桌顧客

所以特別安靜

*

負責外場的姐姐

也在吃午餐

老闆從厨房走出來

說剛才的外送單有出錯

*

大概就是顧客要救

不要食材 ABC

要另外加 DEF

*

姐姐輸入在點餐系統后

送到厨房的單

居然沒有打印到

要另外加 DEF

*

老闆沒有要責備姐姐的意思

就是要找出並解決問題

*

老闆居然説:

我們要換位思考

可能是小朋友生病要吃的

所以我們一定要照樣做給顧客

*

結果那張單

全額退款給顧客

*

被老闆的“換位思考”打動到

必須常常支持這家店

*

2025/05/16: March

March usually marks 

the end of trial period

for a brand new year

and before you know it

the first quarter is ending soon

*

things began to pick up a little

going easier on me

like look

as i had hit the lowest low

for the past few months

things couldn’t get worse than that

*

from the worst case scenario imagined

during the beginning of the year of

simply not making ends meet

overflown by festive spending

that’s quite a relief

*

it seems like

i might be able to keep the job

a little longer after all

*

have been telling a few close friends

I am going to lose my job to AI real soon

*

looking forward

hoping things will get less turbulent

*

that kind of struggle

simply felt unreal

work it out or move it out

since I am not ready to get out

just have to work it out 

*
