離婚酒店~感人的帳單

2009-12-24T10:24:00.002+09:00

I posted this not because I want to divorce and is just because this is so true what happen to among us who have married or in relationship. In the relationship, we really need to understand and considerate to each other that what they have sacrifice to achieve the goal that they have set in the beginning of the relationship, then the relationship only can be long and forever. Please see the highlighted sentences - “Touching Bill”.

Thanks to Fanny who send to me this article.

離婚酒店~

他和她結婚整整10年了，夫妻間已經沒有任何衝動與情趣，他越來越覺得自己對她幾乎就是一種程式與義務，
他開始厭煩起了她，尤其是單位新調進了一個年輕活潑的女孩，對他發起了瘋狂的進攻，他突然覺得
她是自己的第二春，經過再三考慮，他決定和她離婚。她似乎也麻木了，很平靜地答應了他，
兩個人一起走進了民政部門。
手續辦得很順利，出門後，兩個人已經是各自獨立的自由人了，不知為什麼，他心裏突然有種空落落的感覺，
他看了看她：“天已經晚了，一起去吃點飯吧。”
她看了看他：“好吧，聽說新開了一家‘離婚酒店’，專門執行離婚夫婦的最後一頓晚餐，
要不咱們到那兒去看看。”
他點了點頭，兩人一前一後默默地走進了離婚酒店。
“先生女士晚上好。”二人在包廂剛坐下，服務小姐便走了進來，“請問兩位想吃點兒什麼？”
他看了看她：“你點吧。”
她搖了搖頭：“我不常出來，不太清楚這些，還是你點吧。”
“對不起先生女士，我們離婚酒店有個規矩，這頓飯必須要由女士點先生平時最愛吃的菜，
由先生點女士平時最愛吃的菜，這叫‘最後的記憶’。”
“那好吧，”她理了理頭髮，“清蒸魚、溜蘑菇、拌木耳，記住，都不要放蔥薑蒜，
我先生……這位先生他不吃這些。”
“先生呢？”服務小姐看了看他。
他愣住了。結婚10年，他真的不知道老婆喜歡吃什麼。他張著嘴，尷尬地愣在了那兒。

“就這些吧，其實這是我們兩個人都愛吃的。”她連忙打起了圓場。
服務小姐笑了笑：“說實話，到我們離婚酒店來吃這最後一頓晚餐，所有的先生和女士其實都吃不下去什麼，
所以這‘最後的記憶’咱們還是不要吃了吧。就喝我們酒店特意為所有離婚人士準備的晚餐——冷飲吧，
這也是所有來的人都不拒絕的選擇。”
她與她都點了點頭：“那就來冷飲吧。”
很快，服務小姐送來了兩份冷飲，兩份飲料中一份淡藍一片，全是冰渣；一份滿杯紅潤，冒著熱氣。
“這份晚餐名叫‘一半是火焰，一半是海水’，兩位慢用。”服務小姐介紹完退了下去。
包房裏靜悄悄的，兩個人相對而坐，一時竟不知道該說什麼好。
“篤篤篤！”輕輕一陣敲門聲，服務小姐走了近來，托盤裏托著一枝鮮豔的紅玫瑰：
“先生，還記得您第一次給這位女士送花的情景嗎？現在一切都結束了，夫妻不成就當朋友，
朋友要好聚好散，最後為女士送朵玫瑰吧。”
她渾身一抖，眼前又浮現出了10年前他給她送花的情景，那時，他們剛剛來到這座舉目無親的省城，
什麼都沒有，一切從零開始。白天，他們四處找工作，努力拼搏；晚上，

為了增加收入，她去晚市出小攤，他去給人家刷盤子。很晚很晚，他們才一起回到租住在地下室裏
那不足10平米的小屋。日子很苦，可他們卻很幸福。到省城的第一個情人節

那天，他為自己買了第一朵紅玫瑰，她幸福得流下了眼淚。10年了，一切都好起來了，可兩個人卻走向了分離。她想著想著，淚水盈滿了雙眼，她擺了擺手說：“不用了。”
他也想起了過去的10年，他這才記起，自己已經有五六年沒有給她買過一枝玫瑰了。他擺了擺手：
“不，要買。”
服務小姐卻拿起了玫瑰，“刷刷”兩下撕成了兩半，分別扔進了兩個人的飲料杯裏，
玫瑰竟然溶解在了飲料裏。
“這是我們酒店特意用糯米製成的紅玫瑰，也是送給你們的第三道菜，名叫‘映景的美麗’。
先生女士慢用，有什麼需要直接叫我。”服務小姐說完，轉身走了出去。
“XX，我……”他一把握住她的手，有些說不出話來。
她抽了抽手，沒有抽動，便不再動彈。兩個人靜靜地對視著，什麼也說不出來。
“啪！”突然，燈熄了，整個包房裏漆黑一片，外面警鈴大作，一股煙味兒飄了進來。
“怎麼了？”兩個人急忙站了起來。
“店起火了，大家馬上從安全通道走！快！”外面，有人聲嘶力竭地喊了起來。
“老公！”她一下撲進了他的懷裏，“我怕！”
“別怕！”他緊緊摟住她，“親愛的，有我呢。走，往外衝！”
包廂外面燈光通明，秩序井然，什麼都沒有發生。
服務小姐走了過來：“對不起，先生女士，讓兩位受驚了。酒店並沒有失火，煙味兒也是特意
往包房裏放的一點點，這是我們的第四道菜，名叫‘內心的選擇’。請回包廂。”
他和她回到了包廂，燈光依舊。他一把拉她：“親愛的，服務小姐說得對，剛才那才是你我內心真正的選擇。
其實，我們誰都離不開誰，明天咱們重新結婚吧？”
她咬了咬嘴唇：“你願意嗎？”
“我願意，我現在什麼都明白了，明天一早咱就去辦結婚。小姐，買單。”他說著喊了起來。
服務小姐走了近來，遞給兩人一人一張精緻的紅色清單：“先生女士好，這是兩位的帳單，
也是本酒店的最後一道贈品，名叫‘永遠的帳單’，請兩位永遠保存吧。"

他看著帳單，眼淚淌了下來。
“你怎麼了？”她連忙問道。
他把帳單遞給了她：“親愛的，我錯了，我對不起你。”
她打開帳單一看，只見上面寫著:
一個溫暖的家;
兩隻操勞的手；
三更不熄等您歸家的燈;
四季注意身體的叮囑;
無微不至的關懷；
六旬婆母的微笑；
起早貪黑對孩子的照顧；
八方維護您的威信；
九下廚房為了您愛吃的一道菜；
十年為您逝去的青春……
這就是您的妻子。
“老公，您辛苦了，這些年也是我冷漠了你。”她也把自己的那份帳單遞給了他。
他打開帳單，只見上面寫著：
一個男人的責任；
兩肩挑起的重擔；
三更半夜的勞累；
四處奔波的匆忙；
無法傾訴的委屈；
留在臉上的滄桑；
七姑八姨的義務；
八上八下的波折；
九優一疵的凡人；
時時對家對子的真情……
這就是您的丈夫。
兩個人抱在一起，放聲痛哭。
結完帳，他和她對經理千恩萬謝，手牽手走回了家。看者他們幸福的背影，經理微笑著點了點頭：
“真幸福，我們離婚酒店又挽救了一個家！

I’m back!!!

2009-09-05T16:14:00.001+09:00

That is very long did not update my blog due to my tight schedules on my holidays (with my wife at Malaysia and Seoul), research, and paper writing (the most headache).

Time passes very fast and it was already 1 year and 3 weeks staying in South Korea for my study. Now, I’m in my 2nd year Master’s degree course and the feeling is totally different as compared to my 1st year course.

My 2nd Conference: KSAS Spring Conference 2009 April 17

2009-04-17T21:10:00.007+09:00

We stayed in HanHaw Resort and located in the Gangwon-do, Korea, where the place for people visit to snowing in the winter time. Unfortunately, we are almost in the end of the spring.

Taiwan Trip Day 2

2009-03-15T11:00:00.007+09:00

In day 2, we visited 4 places and you can imagine it was really rush. The first station was Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, but that day was 1st day of Chinese New Year and it was closed , so we just spend about 30 minutes around hall and we came back visit this hall on day 3. The pictures slide can see that the hall is really big....

Then, we went to museum and unfortunately that we were not allow to take photo because they scare the flash may spoil the historical things. Thus, we went to next place where looks like our Malaysia Petaling Street and they sell a lots types of foods. The worst was that time raining and can you imagine you walk along the Petaling Street without having roof on top of your head. hehehehe....

The last place we went was at the sea side and we can view a lots of rocks that has been corroded by the environment for few hundreds years... The rock was very nice as you can see in pictures.

Day 2.... was very tiring and the legs pain... . But, it was nice to see other country culture and taste their food.

To be continue...

Taiwan Trip Day 1

2009-03-15T10:18:00.006+09:00

It has been a month did not update my blog.... Sorry for my "Fanzz.." hehehehe..XD As you know, i went to Taiwan trip with my wife and her family for 7 days on 25th until 31st Jan 09. This was my 2nd time abroad to another country --- KOREA and TAIWAN. The special moment was not because of free trip (thanks for father in law and also cousin brother in law who sponsor us), but my wife and I can meet up together in Taiwan and not in Malaysia after 3 months I left her in Malaysia, where she needed to travel from Malaysia and for me from Korea. It was like a chinese fairy tail and so romantics hehehhe...

In this trip, I learned to find a place to sleep in Incheon International Airport in Korea. I felt it safe to sleep inside the airport although I slept on the bench until the next morning 6 am. After that, I have to wait inside the terminal for another two hours to abroad and flight to Taiwan. When I reached Taiwan, I have to wait another 4 hours again for my wife arrived. Although, it was taken about 12 hours for me to wait my wife arrived, but it was really worth to do so ... because I really miss my wife and can spend 6 days with her after 3 months left her in Malaysia. They arrived around 4 pm but took about 1 hour to get out from the terminal. The pictures slide was taken inside the bus while we were going to go our hotel. After check-in, we went to eat our dinner and then we went back to our hotel and rest. Not much happened on that day and just except " .... " hehehheeh 18SX wahahha XD

To be continue....

To my Wife - Happy Valentine's Day

2009-02-13T23:44:00.011+09:00

"Happy Ever Couple"

Happy Valentine's Day

It is a memorable day for my wife, Shien and me because it was our first date for us and we had a "formal" lunch at western restaurant, Port Klang (hehehe sorry.. I can't remember the actual restaurant name) where located somewhere near to the port to Pulau Ketam. It is still vivid for me to remember that I was "snake" out from the work (sorry boss.... XD) and date my wife with traveling distance of 40 Km (~45 mins.) from Petaling Jaya. This is worth for me to take that risk (although not that big deal for my boss) to have lunch with my wife by spending the precious time close to 3 hours. If that... I won't be so lucky to have her as a girlfriend and wife now. No regret as I don't feel regret to have you as my wife.

But, after we are in relationship, we were barely (or I should say don't have at all) go out to celebrate this Valentine's day as what we think that too expensive for us to spend for the past few years. We just stayed at home and spent precious time to each others. And now more worst, we are apart to each other for so far, one in Korea and the other in Malaysia. Is it sound very sad and feel sympathy for our relationship?... However, I think this is worth to experience this so call "suffer", if not we won't know how to appreciate the eternity love that unselfishlesss given out to each others.

With endless appreciation, I like to thank to my wife, Shien who is never stop pooling the love in our relationship, for supporting me to pursuing my goal in Korea although it is so difficult especially for her. Her love is never end and is continuously given out because she believes I'm the right guy for her everythings.

Dear, I Love You and Thank You for trusting me and your love, and what I can do now is to make sure I achieve my goal and as return to make your life and our life better in future. Happy Valentine's Day to you, my wife, Shien. Dear, I always remember "without you, without today of me".... (Of course, this also must credit to my family and my wife's family). Although, we have never celebrate Valentine's day for the past few years.. and I want to date you in advance for next Valetine's Day, 2010 in Korea. Can I? hehehehe :D

Happy Chinese New Year ( Lunar Year)

2009-01-24T10:00:00.005+09:00

I will spend my whole week in Taiwan with my wife, Shien and her families members. For sure, I will bring back a lots of pictures (unfortunately not money hehehehe I wish to) and upload and share with you all...

Bye... Remember Drink More... Play More... Take Good Care EVEN more for yourself.

My Christmas Eve and New Year Eve

2009-01-02T10:33:00.008+09:00

This is my first time celebrating Christmas Eve and New Year Eve in Korea (unfortunately not with my wife). The different was only celebrating in the COLD weather (around -3 Degree). In the first photos slides, we were preparing the tools and foods for our BBQ (grill pork, "Sam Gyeok Sa") at outside the building. It was really fun and nice feeling as you were eating hot foods in the cold weather. The funny thing was a cup of oil was freeze (unfortunately, I didn't take the picture) just about 30 mins (I guessed). The two Indians are from India who are Fanny's (Chia's wife) friends in the same Lab, and the other girl is Korean but live in Canada for about 10 years and recently just came back to Korea.

In this New Year eve, we didn't go anywhere because our city is a bit like kampung style same as Kedah state. We just bought few beers and Korean wine, and celebrated inside our lab. In the middle of the slides, we were going out to have some beers again and that time was starting snowing. It was quite fun to take photo (as last I felt it was boring hehehehe) with my camera Nikon D80. But, I'm not really know how to use it yet although it has a lots of functions. When we came back to lab, we were waiting for 2nd countdown through the notebook (online TV) which were showing Taiwan countdown event. After countdown, we taught our lab member (Chang Yong) how to play "Tai Di" hehehe. We just took about 30 minutes and he knew how to play (a smart guy)... He is really good hahhaa... Now, at least, we have another 'Kaki' to play Tai Di with us.

By the way, the table that we put the drinks and foods, is cost about USD7000. It is the most expensive table I never see before hahaha... (The table is for laser experiment)

I Miss My Family....

2008-12-31T18:16:00.007+09:00

Another New Year comes and follows by Chinese New Year. This time my feeling is totally different from I was in Malaysia. Recently, I viewed the Petronas Commercial Advertisement, and the feeling of the message is so strong. "I MISS MY FAMILY". Hope it bring some message for you all from these commercial advertisement....

In addition, I feel why we can't celebrate together happily like others as we are still able to seeing each other easily. "Appreciation of NOW"....Moreover, we are not necessary needed to wait special holidays only meeting instead we can plan some convenient time and hang out together to tighten up the relationship, parents and children, siblings, and cousins.

The gives from parents is endless although their ability are descending due to the aging. The most pain is not our physical injured but is we are unable to give happiness to our parents as returns.

Of Course..... My wife too... She is the best .... her endless support and consideration.... are never stop from her. I will never forget.... I LOVE YOU!!!!! Darling...

Happy New Year!!! and Wish Our Dreams MUST Come True!!!! (hehehehe...)
P/s: for whoever read this message too

Hi Guy... I'm first few slides are my room (quite messy.... what can you expect from guys' room...hehehe) and then the dormitory building and cafeteria. Besides that, I did took new building for the dormitory.... Hope can shift to this new dormitory for the next semester.

Then, I took the route prictures that I use to be walk to my lab, not that far just 15 minutes (but, for me is very far... Some more alone...where is my wife, Shien) Dear... I'm waiting for you to come and walk together with me :P.

In the winter, this route still enjoyable to walk cause of the weather... but now heheheh... is snowing (below 0 degree) and is not enjoyable already. If the wind is not strong, then it still okay...but when the wind blow is fast and strong...hehehhee I think you will have the same feeling as me that we don't like it at all... IT is too cold and the skin feel pain.

Last few slides are my Lab building and my lab. Hope this brief information enough for you all know what are the pictures show about.

My First Conference Presentation

2008-11-14T23:02:00.011+09:00

Hi...Finally, my tight schedule is already done, only left the submission paper. Anyway, the date to submit the paper is postponed to 24th November. hehehe... I can release a bit. But, these weekend I have to complete 3 experiments for research which I'm not familiar at all that related to fiber optic network system.

I want to share with you some pictures on my first experience in conference presentation. The conference was named as " 2008 Autumn Conference & Annual Meeting of Korean Society for Railway" and the organizer is The Korean Society for Railway. This is the picture that i took in front the main door of Kim Dae Jung Conventional Center.

From Conference in Gwangju Nov 14 08

The name tag for this conference and it had shown my Korean name.

From Conference in Gwangju Nov 14 08

Kim Dae Jung was the President of Korea, and who was win Peace Nobel Prize. These are the pictures of him and also the Nobel Prize logo.

From Conference in Gwangju Nov 14 08

I can tell you... the waiting time for your turn to present was worst than you step out to present to the audiences who are expert in the area that you present. My title is "Structural Health Monitoring on Train - A review in damage detections techniques". Luckily, the room was small (like tutorial class) and about 15 persons attending the presentation. The picture below is the room.

From Conference in Gwangju Nov 14 08

When it was my turn, the chairman introduce me. When, I introduce myself in english, they seems so surprise, because they thought that I'm a Korean (am I look like Korean....hehehehe). Then, I told them I'm from Malaysia and Master's Student in Chonbuk National University, and asking for excuse for allowing me use english for the presentation. The pictures show I was presenting my work.

From Conference in Gwangju Nov 14 08

The presentation took about 15 minutes but it was very nervous hahahha... although I used to give lectures for about 7 years. Maybe the difference is I'm presenting to the experts. Anyway, the session was smooth and not much questions asking by them. Only one fellow asked what is purpose of these research paper. I'm not sure my presentation was so bad until he don't understand the purpose of the paper, or he was not really understand what i'm presenting.

This is really a good experience for me ... also is a good start for my journey in this line... Conference and research and journals.... I really like the feeling after finished presentation, is like a release and satisfactory although not really perfect, but is a good start for me. (still a lots of thing waiting for me to face... and challenge it.)

2008-11-01T11:38:00.005+09:00

Dear.. I'm sorry that I can't immediate be your side and help you to solve the problem that you face this morning. No matter what, we must keep strong to face the hurdler and get over it in these few years to search for better life.

This is very difficult for us to solve the problem together while we are apart from each other. The only blessing is that we have the family who always supporting us and holding us to get through all the hurdler.

My Wedding Room Decoration

2008-10-29T00:26:00.010+09:00

Hi! Hi!... Me again.... I'm trying to upload as much pictures as I can since I'm still "FREE" XD The pictures slides show is showing my wedding room decoration before the day OUR (Andy & Shien) wedding ceremony (18th Oct. 2008).

In the first few slides, the pictures showed our room without decoration. We cannot sleep on the nice bed before our actualy wedding day... Actually, the furniture was bought for about 2 months and putting there without sleeping on it (due to the Chinese Culture). Then, you can see the room was started to decorating by my wife grandparents, her sisters, and my sister too. The cabinet and make up table must fill up all the stuffs as you can see. I can tell you.... I didn't prepare all these things for the decoration since I'm in Korea and all was my wife doing.... I feel grateful to have her who so considering and patient to me to prepare all the wedding stuff. "Dear... You are the BEST... No REGRET to get along with you forever"

There are one jewelry box and two wedding couples dolls which I bought at Korea Incheon International Airport when I was preparing to departure to Malaysia (14th October 2008). These two things nice ler.... But, there were quite expensive and cost me about USD 70 (But, nevermind... because I bought for my wife to decorate her wedding room....). The decoration was taken almost whole days and pretty sure very tiring for them. That day, my job was only taking photos where "molesting" my Nikon D80 camera... hehehehe.... and taking care my lovely Baby Girl (her pictures showed in the previous blog).

By the way.... My wedding room nice or not?.... If not nice.. Keep for yourself and nice please give comments.... hahahaha (just kidding). Anyway, I would like to say thank you to my wife, her family members and my family members who are so supportive and helpful to make OUR (Andy & Shien) wedding so successfully. I will never forget what they have done for me. "THANKs.. and THANKS ... and THANKS!!!!"

"Guys... Remember come back to my blog because I'm going to upload more pictures in these few days."

Here, we were provided lunch inside this park, and the dish is traditional dish for Korean too, named as Bibmbap. For me, I will tell you, it is same dish which called "Low Sang" that we eat on Chinese New Year. But, the ingredients are totally different, Bibmbap has only vegetables and a few slice of chicken meat.

Before you start to eat, you have to mix all the vegetables with rice then only taste nice as shown above picture. The Bibmbap smell very nice because they put quite a lots of "ma yao" (pronouced in cantonese) - types of oil.

How I Spend My Public Holiday in Korea - Harvest Festival

2008-09-13T10:49:00.006+09:00

From 13 - 15th September, it is public holidays for Korea. The festival is named as Harvest Festival and Thanks Giving (if not mistaken hehehhee....). In Malaysia, now should be Moon Cake Festival. The different between these countries is Korea no moon cake to eat and holidays for 3 days, but, Malaysia got moon cake to eat and no holiday. So, which one is best for you?...

The 3 days, 90% of the shops in this area will close. Basically, I have to buy maggie mee cups to keep to enough for me to eat for these period. I will show you what i had my breakfast this first day...

My Tasteful Maggie Mee

My Hot Mocha Coffee.. Smell Nice

How I cook my maggie mee?.... hehehe.. Here they don't allow to cook, the only way I can do is put the hot water on the bowl and dump my maggie mee inside the bowl, and let the maggie mee cook itself by covering the orange plate on top of the bowl. Sigh.... I have to eat like these for 3 days... Anyway, I will go to buy maggie mee cup much much easier for me hehehe...

By the way, I would like to greet to my wife, Shien, my families, my friends, and the whoever celerebrate Moon Cake Festival --------- HAPPY MOON CAKE FESTIVAL!!!!!

No IPHONE for S. KOREA!!!

2008-09-10T13:35:00.004+09:00

I have been wondering IPhone got sell in S.Korea or not and the Answer is NO!!! This is due S. Korea mobile phone technology - WIPI (Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) which is not compatible with IPhone platforms. Thus, if IPhone wants to sell in S. Korea, they have to redesign it to support WIPI. :( So, guys... don't expect I will get IPhone back to Malaysia already .... Sigh.... Below is the news that i found out.

"By the end of 2009, Apple’s iPhone will be available in 70 nations, but South Korea is not among them. Nor will it be for the foreseeable future, thanks to WIPI (Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability), South Korea’s cellular middleware platform.

The South Korean government requires all cellphones sold in the country to support the WIPI standard. And for Apple (AAPL), as well as other handset manufacturers like Nokia (NOK) and Sony Ericsson (ERIC), redesigning their devices to do so is a costly proposition. So costly, in fact, that they’d rather not bother.

“Korea is not ready,” an Apple Korea rep told the Korea Times. “We have no comment on [the] iPhone matter in Korea; also, there is no plan to release any further information about launching of [the] iPhone in Korea.” And that suits Korea’s mobile phone-makers, Samsung (005930) and LG (066570), just fine. They’re apparently not fond of unnecessary competition.

“Next time you are in Malta and you need an iPhone 3G, it will be there for you,” Apple CEO Steve Jobs said earlier this week. But not in South Korea. Plenty of Samsung and LG phones, though. And how ’bout that Samsung Omnia, huh? Almost like the real thing …" By The Wall Street Journal

So, say good bye to IPhone.... Thus, just wait, wait, and wait.... Hope both parties managed to have a good deal, then only benefit us as USERS....
