The History of "vivalive"

Are You A Manchester United Fan?

As usual, I went Nanyang Mart after my dinner at Canteen 2 last Friday.

After the special socks and candies that I found last time, this is what that caught my attention this time...

Manchester Official Collection

Wow, our Nanyang Mart is selling Machester United's Official Merchandise !!

So here is a quiz for all the Manchester United fans :

Who is this Manchester United Player?

Man Utd Key Chain

I tried my best but I just couldn't get the answer, but at least I'm sure that this player is not in the current team. Perhaps he is one of the legends of Manchester United like Bobby Charlton or Eric Cantona wearing this year's Home Jersey?

To find out the answer, I just simply flipped the key chain to the back to look for the name and the number of the player.

The answer is........................

Cristiano Ronaldo!!

I was laughing and shouting WTF??!! when I saw the answer.

Anyway, the price is just SGD$2.30, how ORIGINAL and OFFICIAL can this key chain be?

Industrial Attachment : Sunset

After busy with my designs and calculations for the whole week,

I decided to slack abit on last Friday evening, hopped on the back of my company lorry and took some photos, trying to find a suitable photo to be used as my header.

Yeah, as you can see now...I've already found one!

And here are some photos taken using my Lumix DMC-FS3.

The qualities are OK though I tried to set my camera to "sunset" mode.

天青色等烟雨，而我在等你；炊烟袅袅升起，隔江千万里

from 《青花瓷》

These lyrics appeared on my mind when I took these photos,

but I think it's unsuitable because that is not “炊烟” (smoke coming out from kitchen) and the building is just across the narrow Johor Straits.

夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏

Used to include this proverb at the end of our Chinese essays about outings or picnics by the seaside during primary school times. 

“夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。我带着依依不舍的心情踏上归途……”

Low Efficiency of University Hospital Malaysia

This post is written as requested by a doctor based on the experience of my friend's dad :

My friend's dad was not feeling well,having "cold sweating"

and feeling of heart discomfort for more than 20 minutes few days ago.

He spoke to his cardiologist over the phone and he advised him to admit to the "Trauma and Emergency Ward" of University Hospital, Malaysia.

After spending the first 20 minutes for the preparation of admission and documentation, including BP (Blood Pressure) test and ECG (Electrocardiogram), he waited for more than 2 hours for a doctor's turn to see him.

The Waiting Lobby

10 minutes later, he was asked to take his blood test and he waited for another 2.5 hours for the blood test result before his turn to see the doctor again. 

My friend's dad asked the doctor on duty why the patients have to go through all these unnecessary waiting time. The doctor replied, there were only 2 doctors on duty and they have to sacrifice dinner time to cope with the number of patients.

The Empty Consultation Hall

When asked further, she said they have spoken many times to the management and appealed for more staff ( doctors & nurses etc) to be on duty but were ignored.The doctor even encouraged him to do a research and make a comparison with other hospital what will be the waiting from admission until you are able to see a doctor.

Well, this is a government hospital. If you are not happy, you can switch over to a private hospital, in which you have to pay for rocket-high fees.

So in total you need to wait for MORE THAN 5 hours to see a doctor in the EMERGENCY ward regarding HEART problem?

Perhaps the management staff should play this game before they really run a hospital:

Theme Hospital

Otherwise, looks like we, as tax payer, have to continue to waste our precious time to see a doctor in the government hospital.

Smile Always

Got a forwarded e-mail from my dad one day
about ways to keep yourself happy and smile always!
Among the 40 ways, this is the one that caught my attention :

I am always the noisiest and the most talkative among my friends,

and some says the weirdest and the one who don't care about image at all,

even when I am having my meal.

Recently, everyone is busy preparing exams 

so I have more time doing my own things after my IA 

since phone room had closed for exam period as well.

I spent time sorting my old photos 

and realized that I am really a weirdo.

猪肉丸粉 Pork Ball Noodle @ PJ State

This is my 100th post and I would like to take this opportunity to

introduce my Mom's noodle stall near PJ state.

This will be my first (and maybe the 1 and only1) food review post! 

Not so long ago, my parent decided to take over a noodles shop in PJ State 

in view of my dad's retirement, and will soon become unemployed.
The stall is at a corner coffee shop called Fook Yun Kopitiam (福运茶餐室), situated at a row of shop/office sandwiched between Menara MBPJ and the multi-storey carpark, where the weekly Sunday Car Sales was held, in PJ State.

It is learned that the first Pork Ball Noodle stall was started by a man from Canton, China at the former Foch Avenue 指天街 ( now Jalan Silang) after the 2nd World War.

At that moment, the shop was situated at a road junction 

annexed to two other shoplots, regular customers had thus named it as "San Gan Zhong", which literally translated as "three adjacent shops ".

The pork ball is unique in its taste & texture 

and has become very popular in KL & PJ, 

Hence the famous "Sam Gan Zhong" Pork Ball Noodle 

（三间庄猪肉丸粉）today.

Thereafter, the art of pork ball making mushroomed and 

was well established in Jinjang, the place where I grow up.

 

This is different from the Pork Noodle (猪肉粉),

another kind of noodle which contains pig intestines, liver & etc.

This stall has been visited by KY, a well known food blogger in his Blog, KYspeaks .com, couples of months back, and he has given his thumps-up for the noodles.

 

The main ingredients of this noodle are :

Pork Balls & Siew cheong, ( Minced meat stuffed into the intestine)

猪肉丸&烧肠

Customers can order for any four variety of noodles, ie:
Mee, Mee Hoon, Kuey Teow and Lou Shu Fun and / or the mixture of any 2 of them, to be served in dried or soup.

Marinated Meat with noodles

And this is what I will eat EVERYTIME...

My Breakfast before going back to Singapore

Do visit our stall from 6.30am till lunch time daily.

I believe most food hunters will prefer eating nice food 

at hawker stall to those franchise restaurants.

My mom will be happy if you tell her that

you come to know about our stall from the internet,

and sometimes you may see my look-alike dad helping out during weekends too!

Wings musicafe 回音石民歌餐厅

在回新加坡的前一晚,

到了鸿图园(Kuchai Lama)的回音石民歌餐厅(Wings Musicafe)。

几个月才回来马来西亚一次的我，在半年前才得知这民歌餐厅。
这一次来到了鸿图园的分行，刚坐下来的我就迫不及待地点歌了。

because you love music, and I love to sing;

thus we are here.

当晚的驻唱歌手是佳旺及第一天驻唱的Elaine．
每次到民歌餐厅点歌总是轮不到我，可是这次终于皇天不负有心人！
点了８首歌，有３首被唱出……

当佳旺唱出《一千年以后》时，我就对朋友猛赞了。
平时在民歌餐厅都是吉他伴奏的，难得这次是键盘
所以就点了我很喜欢的《Fly Away》，很高兴有被Elaine唱出。
接着点了最近心情不好时常听的《雨天》，本来以为会是Elaine唱的，
可是竟然是佳旺唱！个人觉得他唱的版本非常好听，比杨宗纬唱的好听！
当晚的最后一首歌，是由我点的《我只在乎你》作为结束……

在走的时候，发现墙上挂了张海报，卖的是佳旺的创作专辑！

鼓起了勇气上前问佳旺后，在该店买到他的专辑……还获得了他的亲笔签名！

《乐旅行》

请多多支持，只售RM29.90!

当然，少不了的是合照！

哈哈，我好像顿时成了他的小歌迷！
待下次回来，再去支持他们吧～
想知道他们的行程，可以浏览　http://www.wingsmusicafe.com/

写这篇文章时，同时也听着他的专辑……

个人最喜欢的是《也许》……

“也许彼此都在犯错　为何却还一直　一错再错……

一个人一生中　错一次就足够”

阿桑 - 叶子

早上起来，从朋友的facebook里得知

台湾女歌手阿桑因患乳癌逝世的消息。

印象中，我只记得她的

《叶子》和《寂寞在唱歌》两首歌。

高中二时，有一群参与词曲创作的朋友

时常唱《叶子》给我听，他们还把歌中一句我很喜欢的歌词

写在班上的布告板……

“孤单是一个人的狂欢……狂欢是一群人的孤单……”

这也让我想起了在网络上时常会看到的一句话

叶子的离去，是风的无情，还是树的不挽留

Like Father, Like Son

My mom reminded me that my driving license has expired

and the first thing I did once I reached KL is to take instant photos 

and renew my license.

My parents collected it for me the next day when I enjoyed sleeping at home.

Then, My dad showed me something after I woke up...

So what do you think?

Daughtry - Home

This is a scheduled post and

I am on my way back to KL when you are reading this. 

The main purpose of going back this time is for "ching beng' (清明)

and it's also a good time for me to recharge my energy.

Loads of stories to share with my dad,

and lots of things to update from my friends...

Highly recommend this song if you are going back to hometown too.

Daughtry - Home

I'm staring out into the night,

Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.

I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home...
I'm going home...

张国荣逝世六周年

看了BoonMing的blog后，让我想起了……

相当年，我经常到雅虎！香港看娱乐新闻。

六年前的今天，当我在该网站的首页看到此新闻时，

我真的以为是愚人节的玩笑而不加理会！

结果证明了这其实是娱乐圈史上最灰的愚人节。

我不像我以前的班主任那样“迷恋”张国荣，

他几乎收集了所有他的专辑和电影，

仿佛记得他好像有跟张国荣拍过照……

可是对于张国荣的歌，我仍略知一二。

在此介绍这首他与陈洁灵合唱的

谁令你心痴

这是一首日文译曲,

原曲近期由一位叫Olivia的女歌星重唱，个人觉得比原版好听。

重点推介！想要得到整张专辑的歌曲可以联络我！

Olivia - Fall In Love

4月1号，对于我来说只是普通的一天……

以无所谓快不快乐了……
