爸爸不在的这些年

This song is dedicate to my papa, my sunshine.

爸爸不在的这些年 是怎么过的?

嗯....就很平常的过啊

这五年我照样生活,芙蓉吉隆坡来回奔波,

完成我的大学,现在也在开始进入人生下一阶段了。

这五年来我还是不老实的读书,瞒着我妈和朋友夜夜笙歌,

虽然有给她知道我去的地方但细节就省略了大半呵呵,

这五年来感情跌跌撞撞,总算遇到了个让我有想嫁的念头,

虽然他时常把我气得几乎可以砸烂整栋楼,但是我被他的赤子之心给死死吃住了。

我常会想竟然会有这么可爱的男生,虽然狮子座的男朋友是多么的难以忍受。

这五年来,我不知不觉误打误撞一口气完成了我的Diploma 和 Degree, 

想当初我父母真的对我的期望就是高中毕业后出来卖电话找个男的就嫁了。

爸妈你们要为你女儿感到骄傲啊! 女儿为你们争口气了!

爸爸不在这五年我还是一样难搞,可能我这辈子就是这样难搞着去了。

我最不受控制的21岁那一年我妈根本一无所知。

哈哈哈,那一年的我简直是365天Happening啊,也我人生起伏最大的一段日子,

也是让我现在这么定性的那一年。

所以我就在我背后纹了"life is like a roller coaster ride" 把像坐过山车的那一年画上句号。

然后2016 的年尾就遇上了大Bii, 之后我就过着安逸的日子。

然后现在的我开始为未来铺路,找份合适的工作,偶尔看看文章,在家褒戏,更新部落格,

偶尔和大Bii 小约会,时不时周末回去陪家人,打羽毛球,和老朋友喝茶吹水虚度光阴,

偶尔去Johor 拜访大Bii家人,有时假期去别人活腻的地方来个Short Getaway。




虽然日子平平淡淡的过,但是我的梦想一样坚定没动摇过。

总有一天我相信我可以把我的兴趣变成我的Full Time Job.

今年是爸爸不在的第五年,我也23岁了,有的同辈的女生都嫁人生孩子了,

而我却还在寻找着自己的未来,为自己的将来烦恼着。

今年爸爸不在的第五年,日子还是一如往常的过,

从毛都还没生齐的19岁到懵懵懂懂的20岁,到不顾一切疯狂的21岁,

然后再到敢爱敢恨的22岁,再然后是已经告别年少轻狂 今年23岁内心开始老成的我。

再多两三年就开始会有严重明显的初老症。




爸爸不在的这些年,我除了岁数增加了几岁,比以前老成了些,

我都坦然接受也享受这些时间给我的成长,但唯有一样时间的作为让我想到都会起疙瘩。

那就是每隔一段时间回家,看到我妈一次比一次苍老,

想着为什么时间就是这么自私无情。 

偶尔妈妈跟我和弟弟抱怨诉苦的时候我都在想爸爸在的话就好了

因为我和弟弟都在外波读书做工生活。

但是爸爸不在的这些年,

说实话,妈妈反而没有这么的忧郁和经常不开心了,可能是少了个牵挂少了份操心吧。

早晨都会到公园跑步打太极,偶尔跟朋友去旅行,朋友圈也大了,

我和弟弟长大了也不需要怎么操心,妈妈开始做起她在行的事,

和朋友租了间店开起了她的裁缝店,人也不怎么压抑了反倒看开了许多。




这不表示我妈妈不爱我爸,了解他们的人都知道我爸爸妈妈的感情真的会让人羡慕。

也许往往最铭心刻骨的事情都已经在我们心里扎了很深很稳固的根了,

即使人不在但心还是踏实的,因为他们都住在了我们的心里。


在我记忆力爸爸妈妈的爱情是我最仰慕的。

到我长大了开始有对象了我都会以我爸爸为标准。

对方要有我爸的好,但是我爸的坏对方不能有。

我爸是个不浪漫,做人实际有担当,但却是个幽默有情趣的一个人。

因此我对我的对象的要求是:

“一个男人可以不浪漫可以不富有,但是做人要实际有担当,

幽默和情趣在我眼里是非常加分”




爸爸的稳重让我知道一个男人的稳重对一段感情是有多重要。

他的稳重不在于经济条件方面,他的稳重在于他处理事情时候是以理智胜于EQ的方式。

我爸对我妈的情让我知道没有一段感情是完美无缺的,

但是却让我知道一个男人的倾听和体谅是可以给予一个女人的安全感胜过物质上的安全感。

我不是说瞎话,因为我爸根本从来没多余的金钱给过我妈什么物质上的东西,

我妈是个外柔内刚的女汉子,物质上的安全感都是靠自己得来的。

这间接影响了我的人生规划,每次工作面试,面试官问我Where do you see yourself in 5 years,

 我都会说 Be Completely Financial Independent and be a experienced and professional in what I'm doing.

虽然面试官都会觉得我是在假掰, 其实我说的是实话ok?

我不是草莓族也不吃软饭的更不是那些绿茶婊

看来懂我的也好像是我爸了....


 


嗯...其实爸爸不在了也不是什么很恐怖很可怜很惨的事。

旁人也不应该觉得你死了老公没了爸就好可怜很惨。

拜托 我们不是没了爸爸会饿死。

伤心是因为突然失去很在乎的人,遗憾是好多东西没能一起完成。

而不是哭天哭地表示你很伤心

可能我妈 我弟 和我 都不是矫情的人吧,尽管旁人觉得我们没心,但是爸爸知道就好了。

他也不希望我们会是要生要死的送别他。




爸爸不在的这些年就是 照常过  一样过 ,天天过,开心过,伤心也过,日子天天过。

爸爸走了以后才发现我们的合照没几张而已

这应该是唯一的遗憾吧



you are my sunshine my only sunshine, you make me happy when sky are grey,
you never know dear, how much I love you...please don't take my sunshine away....

A Wonderful Birthday Idea to Melt His Heart @ 2 August 2018

 

Every year around this time, I always make myself stressed by spending ample amount of time thinking what I could do to surprise my boy on his birthday.

Last year, I literally gave him a Pinterest Kind of Birthday Surprise with a Balloon decoration hotel room and whole set of clothes and shoes as presents. And this year I'm really out of ideas what should I prepare for him already.  Well.... this year I want to celebrate his birthday in a simple and budget way and I always like to DIY stuff, so then I scrolled Pinterest to get inspiration during free time. Out of the blue I was like Bingo~ I got an idea how to celebrate his birthday which is a home-cook candlelight dinner and presents That's It!  
Instead of making a fancy dinner reservation, it will be more meaningful and romantic to spend the night in making a delicious meal for the ones you love.

So How I Did for his Birthday Dinner?
To be frank, everything was done in a very impromptu way and rush as I don't know what should I buy and not even a checklist for me to refer to. lols I literally settle everything within One Day at Sunway Pyramid.

Here's my schedule:

Morning,
First, Went to Sunway Pyramid, Calvin Klein - to buy his presents~
Next, Jo Malone, bought a small size of cologne.
After that I head to Party Shop to buy floral petals and two numbers (his age) I didn't buy any balloons and I went to Daiso... bought pair of wine glass, plates and knifes & forks..Oh and also candles as well as a white table cloth. 
Afternoon,
Had lunch at Sushi Jiro...I ordered one Spicy Ramen only....to save cost lol like very pity hor hahaha
After lunch continue running errands...went Aeon to buy the seasoned chicken thigh, spaghetti and a pack of ready made mushroom pasta sauce which save me from chaotic in the kitchen and of course so much time have been save. Lastly, I bought french fries which is ready to eat lol how lazy am I really ~ 
I spent around 4 hours to run errands which Half Day was gone....and I still need to prepare the food and set up the table. So I quickly head back home and get things done.

The cost for the dinner and table setup:
1. 2 numbers balloon and floral petals RM 25
2. a pair of wine glasses RM 11.50
3. a pair of plates RM 11.50
4. a pair of knifes RM 11.50
5. a pair of forks RM 11.50
6. Table cloth RM 5.75
7. One pack of Candle RM 5.75
8. 2 chicken thighs RM 12
9. french fries RM 5
10. Spaghetti RM 6
11. Ready made pasta sauce RM 7
12. Presents RM 464

Total RM 576.5

I spent RM 576.50 for his birthday and the cost is included the presents okayyyy.....call me budget queen hahahaha 

Hmmm actually, I almost forget to write a letter to Him in the card but fortunately I drafted a soft copy in my lappy hahaha Thank God I got a card and envelope at Jo Malone. How Thoughtful this Shop??? Help me save money on cards and envelope lol.. Every Boo's birthday I will write a letter to him cos sometimes ppl just need to know how important they mean to us right.. what a long essay I wrote for him.  
So concentrate reading my letter hahaha


Late night we went to Caffeiness to meet with his buddies, boo was so happy that day as he was able to celebrate birthday with me and his buddies~ 




Boo Birthday Ended Wonderfully ~
Nowadays you wanna celebrate birthday for your loves one your wallet will bleed a lot... balloons, presents and fancy dinner all this you need to spend so much money on their birthday...half month salary gone... Why not you prepare a home-cooked dinner, simple decoration and little presents to surprise him/her? Tell you what, DIY stuffs always win their hearts! What comes more memorable and meaningful than a private time and a thoughtful DIY Birthday surprise you did for them?Well still, safety first okay?Do remember Condom ~ Don't make his birthday surprise become a surprise for both of you. 




      

  
  

In Love with Old Malaya - Pampas at Old Malaya




Pampas Steakhouse 位于一栋已有97年的马来亚殖民时代的建筑 名为Old Malaya,这英倫殖民格調餐廳與酒吧是英殖民时代遗留来的古典建筑。在吉隆坡Jalan Raja Chulan一带任然有许多英殖民时代留下的建筑物,某部分的建筑已经被翻新或申请文化保留建筑,但还是某些建筑还是被遗弃的。然而位于Jalan Raja Chulan 的 Old Malaya 建于1919年的百年建筑现今已被翻新成了餐廳與酒吧...也就是今天要介绍的Pampas Steakhouse 啦~

其实呢Pampas 也只是Old Malaya其中一家餐厅,Old Malaya聚集了几间不同特色的美食餐厅与Bars 。所以要看我下篇Po文哦~ 下篇Po 文呢我会介绍Pampas 的邻居 Manja, 我陆续都会整理 一系列 Old Malaya 的餐厅与Bars的Po文啦~

Pampas Steakhouse 分成三个Departments所以你可以依照自己的喜好来选择在哪个Department消费咯~


1919 Bar

KL Tower 就在后面而已啦~ 

19191 Bar 呢是个户外的 Casual Bar & Restaurant, 所以很适合像我和大Bii 这样的上班族在下班后或周末可以和朋友聚会喝啤酒吹水的好地方啦~ 星期五和星期六晚上真的很多人整个气氛就是很Happening来形容了...



  Kapitan Bar


来到这里就是一直调角度拍照尤其旁晚的时候拍超美的,特色就是它透明的天窗啦




Kapitan Bar 则是Indoor Bar啦, 从Kapitan Bar的透明式天窗望上去就可以看到大大的KL Tower了室内装潢都是走 Contemporary 风格,Ladies Night 一班姐妹聊天拍照打卡各式各样的cocktail和红酒就这里解决吧~


享受Main Course 就在Pampas Dining Room咯,食物价格介于 RM14 至 RM 158 之间,Menu可以上Pampas 网站查看哦~    


来到 Pampas Steakhouse 不点Steak 怎么行呢? 

 

没Budget 去 Fine Dine, Anniversary 或生日 就在这里庆祝吧~ 



·


其实我个人觉得这家餐厅确实有点被大家underestimate,因为无论是从他装潢氛围到食物品质都是在档次上的,绝不输给Troika Strato, Green House by Mui 这些人气餐厅酒吧。反而这家餐厅建筑的背景已经赢了不少餐厅的特色。这建筑就是这家餐厅的特色,老板与合伙们为了不让百年文化遗产就这样被废弃,出了人际关系和一大笔经费来翻新这建筑更值得大家去消费以及欣赏这有着历史的餐厅。其实在Jalan Raja Chulan 很多隐藏及具特色的餐厅酒吧让大家去发掘的,周末假期Jio朋友一起去探索吧~
