柏林围墙 Berlin Wall

走在这里感觉是平稳的，耐心看完其中一幅围墙下发生的故事，虽然感触良多，但也佩服他们坦诚面对历史的精神。 能够保留历史遗迹以让后人借鉴，是该国人民的福气吧？

It has been peaceful strolling around this area (probably because of nice weather huh?). You can still see the trail of the demolished wall along & across the streets, the stories behind, not a fascinating one of course, but majorities of it were sad. But still, German is brave & clever enough to face & accept their history, letting the new generation to see what had happened in the past...

曾经隔开东、西德的围墙
The Wall that once seperated East & West Germany
墙的另一端
The other side of the wall...

过往的痕迹 The trail of the past...

看吧，即使是路中央，也还能看到那围墙的遗迹。我们的监狱围墙，就那么的不看‘入眼’吗？Even crossing middle of the road, people still remain the trail of the wall. How about our Pudu Jail's wall?

它不也硬生生的挤在市中心吗？
The used to be U.S Army Checkpoint

随处可见被拆除的围墙

You can see the wall being located randomly along the streets.

这里的夜景是很漂亮的，绚丽的灯火伴着安静的河流，微风轻轻吹过，我们在这里轻松自在的聊天。。。

Memorial long the Berlin river, the night scenery of this place is really wonderful. We had a great time here chit chatting & enjoying the atmosphere...

Just like it. Still haven't figure out the what's the car in the MTV...

格格不入

有没有试过硬生生的把某样东西塞进隙缝或塞进一个和那东西的形状完全不符合的容器里而发出令人毛骨悚然的声音？

有没有试过，把自己塞进一些不那么符合自己的活动和场面，把自己塞得斯斯作响？

原来，勉强真的不那么幸福的。不能肯定自己进而做出的改变可以很累人，莫名其妙的把自己挤进酒吧看球，再次觉得自己和某些地方某些人物真的很格格不入，实在是很累。

不过否定过后的肯定，原来也是可以很清楚的，最低限度我现在很肯定我会喜欢在茶档或IOI Boulevard 看球多过在酒吧，虽然不能否认酒吧的气氛绝对热闹，但，有的时候不习惯就是不习惯，是不能勉强的。

或许应该说，在仅有的私人空间里，其实，真的不必太勉强自己接受一些其实已经知道自己不会喜欢的东西。。。 心灵，也是有感觉的吧？

真的佩服自己可以写一些那么莫名其妙的东西。。。

百年监狱拆了 The demolition of Pudu Jail

I damn like her speech... especially when she said '... and then now we said it's not heritage? we said it's not important...???'

It reminds me of the car park that next to the old stadium where I used to jog ... no more also. All gotto give way to the development... there goes our memories, and here comes the 'modern' city...

My old house at Ampang also give way to the development, I guess I got no where to turn to I were to mentally fall sick now and need to go back to the place that I grown up to ease the pain...die hard... kesian...

很惭愧我在它被拆当天才知道这事件，也很遗憾，我们又有了那么一项‘壮举’。。。如果可以效仿德国把拆了的围墙留在街道上，应该可以多个旅游景点，促进旅游业叻，感觉会比较有文化吧？ 浪费啊，浪费。。。

Kindori Ice Cream @ Sunway Pyramid

很久没有吃到那么好吃的冰淇淋啦！（还是免费的，谢谢芥兰小弟，呵呵。。。）这次选芒果，我们看到店员把新鲜芒果绞碎和冰淇淋混合在一起（应该是这样吧？），所以啊，冰淇淋很香很香，口感很好，而且很滑，又不会立刻融化（从商场吃到停车场还是实实滑滑的），最重要的是，它一点都不甜！可以带妈妈吃了。。。呵呵。。。饼皮也很脆，好吃好吃。价格中等，不过我觉得是ok的咯（纯粹个人意见，我觉得吃这个比Häagen-Dazs来的爽）。

Calintz belanja! Hahaha...very nice ice-cream, we saw the shop keeper blend in the fresh fruit into the ice cream (we think so lah), very yummy, smooth and not easy to melt, then hor, it is not sweet at all! The wafer cone is crispy! Worth a try :)

柏林犹太人大屠殺紀念館 Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

这景点在城市介绍小册子是蛮显眼的，一块块高低不一的石碑，庄严的来，又有种祥和的感觉。我们在这里前前后后左左右右的走来走去，看到很多‘出口’的字样，觉得很奇怪（因为没看到入口。。。）最后发现原来这4.7英畝宽的纪念碑有个地下博物馆！当然要进去看看咯。

博物馆里给我的感觉是－先进，设计干净利落，郑重但温和。一样实实在在的告诉你当时的状况，一样的让你知道有多少人无辜断魂，但和南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆相比，它的感觉却截然不同。你不会介意在这里慢慢走，慢慢看，踏出纪念馆你还是可以呼吸顺畅，但在南京，我记得，我们是越走越快，越看越心痛窒息，到最后只想快快走出纪念馆，在馆外也再没心情拍照。。。第一次强烈的体会到东、西方的表现方式，是可以带出那么不同的感受。。。

Also known as the Holocaust Memorial, built in remembrance of the Jewish & other victims during the Holocause in World War II, taken 4.7 acre with 2,711 concrete slabs (Stelae) covered on it. At first we didnt know there is an underground "Place of Information", as we walked around, we just saw a lot of 'exit' sign. So we were wondering - exit from where?

Until we reached a corner, we saw 'entrance', so we walked down and saw the information centre. It is presented in a high tech, solemn yet peaceful way. Felt very much difference from the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, where here in Berlin you can still walk slowly read slowly, and still feeling ok while you step out the information centre. In Nanjing, it is just... way to heart sick to see all the photos & facts & the skeletons...all you want to do is just to leave as soon as possible. It's really a huge difference between these 2 memorial hall, perhaps its cultural shock?

高低不一的石碑

The Stelae has the same size but different height...

矮的可以座上去歇脚（希望我们不是唯一3个这么做的人 :P)

The short one allowed us to jump on and take a rest... hopefully we are not the only 3 people we do so :P

是个感觉很奇妙的景点

A pretty special memorial park...

柏林'標致'陈列室 Peugeot Showroom @ Berlin

不google都不懂Peugeot的中文名叫“標致”（的了老板的真传）。话说这天我们走着走着，经过这陈列室，连零点一秒的犹豫都没有就走了进去。呵呵，直觉给我们带来不少惊喜和欢乐，陈列室不大但標致的新，旧和概念车还真不赖哦。很庆幸没有错过这陈列室。。。

We were wondering around the city and thus, we walk pass this Peugeoat Showroom. 3 of us just walked into this showroom without a second thought (probably there were already something attracting us!). Showroom itself is not too big, but the car models, especially the concept car really bring us some surprise and fun! Am feeling lucky that we didn't miss out this showroom :)

很少看到便装美女站在概念车旁吧？ 嘿嘿。。。
Very seldom see a pretty in casual costume standing next to a concept car right?

很太空船的感觉叻

Very spaceship feel :p

很想跳进里面坐坐。。。
Very much wanna 'hop in' to feel how was it :P

让我想起美国卡通片‘摩登原始人’！

Man this definitely reminds me of Flintstone!

这个很酷的来又很可爱。。。

This one looks cool and cute...

像小学时期老师教我们用火柴盒做的车子。。。还真有点怀念。。。

Looks like the toy car made of matchbox that teacher taught us to do in primary school...ah... what a retro!

吃喝Kissaten @ IOI Puchong (2)

15 June, 2010

这天，还真不是一般的忙。忙到快放工时突然有个很奇怪的念头，我突然很想来这里，把一个小桶的啤酒喝完，再把那个桶带回家，然后倒头痛睡。和KH说了之后，还真没想到这家伙也无聊得很，竟然就答应到这里溜达了，当然少不了Adeline啦，呵呵。。。结果呢？

William 厨师说：“这桶可以倒九杯叻，你们三人，喝得完啊？”。幻想立刻破灭，只好打退堂鼓，不过大厨很好人叻，他说可以送我们几个空桶！呵呵。。。爽！我只喝了两杯半，虽然已经半死但还是很高兴。。。再次为这里加分！

当然，谢谢KH和Adeline的宝贵时光咯！

Was a damn busy day, too busy until end of the day I had the fantasy of me finishing the one keg of Paulaner and bring back the empty keg and sleep. And so I shared this idea to KH and surprising he said ok lets go (the freedom of being single huh? haha). But errr, until I asked about the volumn of it only I was told that ... it can pour out 9 pints of beer...hahaha.. of course I can't finish it! :( while showing my dissappointing face... William Chef said, as long as u order few rounds, we can give you the empty keg... muahahahaha... yes yes yes!

Still the food is good and so do the beer and the people! Another plus point to Kissaten here!

Of course, my deepest gratitude to both Adeline & KH for the companionship!

这拉面的味道不会太淡，蛮好吃的
The taste is just nice, not too salty neither tasteless.

我的主食，很棒哦。我比较喜欢加些辣椒粉在饭里。。。
My main course. Nice, I like to eat with chili powder in the rice.

不错。。。Not bad...

终于有张清一点的照片了，前几次都有点面目不清。味道还是一样好。
Finally a clearer picture of this rice, the taste is still good :)

第一次在这里喝啤酒。。。
Here comes our Paulaner

好像有点兴奋过度。。。
Hmnm, seems a bit over excited huh?

这绝对是骗吃的喝法。。。哈哈哈。。。
Absolutely wrong demo! Hahaha

Munich Gastro Bierhaus @ IOI Boulevard (2)

第二次光临，这次终于有机会尝一尝它的美食。室内灯光带蓝，不会太吵杂，可以和朋友好好的聊天。这次的啤酒没出乱子，很棒。食物呢，两位猪肉杀对这里的德国猪手的评价都不错（都说肉质鲜美，皮也很脆）。Pretzel (德国面包)个人认为弄得很迁就本地人口味（柔柔淡淡的），香肠就很烂，我们甚至怀疑它的煮法是用蒸的而不是煎。。。

Second visit to Munich bar, finally the beer is good. Hahaha...indoor is not too noisy, can chat with friends comfortably. According to my pork lovers friend, the pork knuckle here tasted good, the meat is fresh and the skin is crunky... Pretzel, personally dont quite like, felt its a bit too soft and tastely. Sausages? 3 of us cannot like it at all, to certain extend we thought they steam the sausages instead of fried/grill it... =='

室内环境不错
Indoor environment not too bad...

不好吃，切开时肉都散了。。。

The sausage here is a no go for us.

猪手不错，而且很大份

The pork knuckle portion is pretty huge

学习接受和尊重 Learn to Accept & Respect

近来听到很多分手的消息，原因不外是沟通和生活协调出了状况。觉得现代人都很有主见，有时甚至会在不知觉间企图支配或控制另一半，会不知觉的希望另一半为自己做出改变。唉呀，人啊，为什么就不能和平相处呢？为什么就不能够学习接受别人的不一样呢？

要爱，就的学习接受，而不是改造。古人说的对，若要人像我，除非两个我，总不能复制一个一模一样的人来爱吧？（即不经济又不实惠，而且有点变态 ==')。

学习接受和尊重吧，会幸福的。

Heard a lot of broken up news lately, as if it's the season of breaking up. The reasons are almost the same, communication and coordination of the daily lifestyle... Nowaday people seems to have a stronger personal characteristic and principle compared to those days, and so we might unintentionally trying to dominate/control our partner, unintentionally, wish other to change for us.

Well, who likes to be asked to change? And the fact is no one can change anyone (but by influencing of course, with another person's free will to change). So why can't we just learn to accept it? Accept the difference of another instead of expecting them to change for you?

There is an old saying, that if you wish other people are like you, unless there are TWO you. Err... unnless you can duplicate yourself and love another you (which I seriously think is not economically practical and a bit mentally sick...)

So... learn to accept and respect to love, it shall eventually bring us happiness and fortune of love...

端午节之~粽子 Dragon Boat Festival~ Chinese Dumpling

干嘛放chinese dumpling?因为在德国吃的dumpling和我们的粽子根本是风马牛不相及，呵呵。。。今年老妈没心情，裹的粽子怪怪的（还好我的不错），我们一致认为，没爱心和心机做出来的食物真的是不好吃的叻。她讲。。。明年不裹了，收山 ==' (见鬼，新年又不见她不炸一大堆东西吃。。。）

不过，还是希望明年会继续裹粽子的，不然两个都患痴呆症的几率应该会蛮高。。。哈哈。。。

3 kilo 的米裹起来虽然有点累，但却是个很好的相聚的时光，值得珍惜。

Why I put chinese dumpling? Coz the dumpling that I ate at Germany has nothing related to our dumpling! So I gotto be specific here..hehe... Mum didn't seems to be in the mood this year. As such, her final products looks a bit one kind. Haha, we both agreed that food made without love & patience will definitely taste one kind, mood no cook, cook abolone or lobster also tastely...

She said she doesnt wanna make dumpling next year onwards (and I was hoping she do less new year junk food), hope she is just not in the mood, coz this is somehow a good time to get together. For the culture and the family tie... I do appreciate it...

炒啊炒，炒到香香粘粘后起锅。
Stir fried till the sticky rice's aroma comes out

粽叶，要选肥肥长长的。偏偏好的被我们弄垮了，这批。。。有点惨不忍睹。。。
Must pick the long fat leaves to wrap the dumpling. We spoilt the first batch, nice one, this one... haih...got hole somemore... =='

预先准备好的材料，也很搞笑，香菇和虾米都要加（好像样样都要买过或加料。。。）
Pre-prepared materials. Funny part was the dried prawn & mushroom not enough, half way also gotto add on (seems almost all things need to buy extra and add on. hahaa)

可以开始咯。
Time to start work!

跟了我们多年的老锅（好像真的一年出场一次叻，老妈要是收山的话它也得退休了。。。）
Old pot that has been following us for years (seems it only manage to see the sunlight once a year....if mum decided not to make dumpling anymore, it also means it's time for him to retire..)

就用这‘咸水草’绑好粽子。应该是无良商家卖些千年草给我们，一绑就断！#%%$#@!#@ 搞到我要半路驾车去杂货店买过些好的才可以继续裹！
Use this string to tie it up, but then I think the hawker sold us the thousand year old string, as soon as you use a bit strength, the string will just break! Argggghhh... I gotto drove out and bought a new + fresh one!

完工！味道还好啦，呵呵。。。不赖，不赖。

Done. Taste not bad oh!

883's Gli Anni

某天晚上整理清理收藏的歌曲，一首一首慢慢的，仔细的听，喜欢的，才留下。结果发现自己从来都没发现这首歌（从别人那里抄过来，还来不及听。。。），听了，很喜欢。

怀念往事，同样的景，人和事却不一样了，有点惆怅，但的确是首好歌。听说883是意大利知名的乐队组合，后来拆伙了，Max Pezzeli 成了独立歌手。。。

Was housekeeping the songs that I copied over from friend, listening one by one, keep only those I like. And then I discovered this, which was there long yet I never heard before. Very much like it. The Band is 883... a bit nostalgic yet it is still good...

Calintz ~ Gasing

搁置了很久都没写这篇，因为。。。要想。终于选择了以这家伙命名（特别呈献哦）。还真没想到在这里也可以很‘扮揶’，有这样的拍照伙伴是很好玩的，因为绝对不会闷，而且还可以从中学习一些自己怎样都想不到的'post'。。。呵呵。。。

Been delaying writing this post as I seriously need to think how to put it up. Finally decided to just put his name (main actor of the day) and his photos. I always believe it's fun to have such a photographing partner, especially the ideas he has on all the posting.. creative creative!

Lucky the small littel trees can stand the pulling...
还好小树强壮，不然真的会挂掉。。。

=='

可怜的蘑菇。。。。哈哈哈。。。

Poor little mushrooms...

798 @ Tropicana City Mall

798, been hearing this place for long, as colleagues used to hang out here. Finally, today, after movie, I am here...

How does it feel? Hmnm, live band very 'live', great effort to try give a good performance, however, to certain extend I think the speakers are really too loud, pretty much difficult to tolerate while the rating to the live band is just a B-.

Food & Beverages are pretty good at least, and I guess its just not me who will like this kind of place, where, when everybody sit down and started to play with their own gadgets, can only talk(in fact shout) to person who is next to you as the music is too loud, and can only chat when the music is stop (and everyone was pretty much drunk...)

终于光顾了这家798。每次同事放工在这里饮酒松弛神经我都没参与，难得有幸今天光顾，不尽让我觉得城市人的空虚。。。坐下来后大家都差不多都有相同的指定动作，玩电话开电脑或其它些什么的，讲话要趁音乐歌声停下来，否则，想听清楚身边的人讲什么都难。。。

这就是城市人的生活吗？应该不尽然吧。。

喜欢热闹的人这里应该是个不错的地方，而且有很不错的啤酒促销，啤酒和食物的水准都不错（纯粹个人意见），只是Live Band有待进步。。。

Wonder why it named after 798?
不知道798背后有什么故事？

Taken as Loong said very rare the Guiness glass has the wording 'DRAUGHT'...
龙少爷说很少黑狗的杯子有‘Draught’的字眼，所以把它拍下来咯。。。

Outdoor tables...
室外长形走廊。。。

Kissaten之别 ~ Farewell @ Kissaten

Location: IOI Boulevard

如果没记错的话，日文Kissaten是喫茶店的意思。本来对这家店是很不以为意的（因为觉得它中西合璧，有点奇怪），但尝试了之后，觉得它还真的不错。员工和环境都令人满意，食物的味道也很不错，而且蛮大份的，小吃的女生可以和朋友合用哦。
在这里和友人别过，可能在短期内都不愿意再踏足此店，啤酒的部分得稍后再介绍咯。

Had dinner twice at this Kissaten, and no doubt the food quality remain as good. It has quite a good environment, staff are friendly & courteous (tho sometimes some of them don't really get what we're talking about). Apparently this is one of the most crowded restaurant in IOI boulevard eventhough it is weekday. Besides, they serve beers as well! I would rather recommend dinner & happy hour here instead of the Munich bar opposite...

Puchong IOI Boulevard Branch

室内室外都有座位
The've got indoor & outdoor seats...

Apple Juice

Papaya Carrot Yogurt Drink -- fantastic! Also try the Banana yogurt!

拉面，味道很不错，Ramen, pretty delicous, hmnm...

看了令人开胃的套餐，是很不错的。。。
Somebody finally willingly let me take the photos before he ate it... and, of course the taste is nice!

这个嘛。。。觉得它的组合有点奇怪，朋友说不是很好吃。。。
Personally I felt a bit weird of this combination (Gyoza+Chicken Wing??) Friend said it is not so nice tho...

这饭超好吃的！可惜手机相机太烂了，拍得不理想。。。
This rice tasted very nice! Portion is huge too. Unfortunately the camera quality of hp is really lousy...

让我选的话，我会愿意成为这里的常客咯。
Given a choice, I don't mind being the regular customer here...
