其实一直以来，都有在打羽毛球，就是下班以后，和几个同事在公司里的运动室打上一两个小时，出出汗。
但是，球拍都不是自己的， 而是东借一下，西借一下，还好身边的朋友都有多余的球拍。最近，妹妹买了新球拍，同事也买了，心也开始痒了。 就这样，今天终于把心一横，去买了一支新球拍， Yonex Nanospeed 500。其实对于球拍，也没有很在行， 就是靠感觉，只要握上手，感觉舒服，就算好了。
其实在中二那年，也是迷上了打羽球。买了Carton 的球拍（最后被妹妹弄丢了），每个星期二，踏着我的 mountain bic， 到球馆练球。当时真的还蛮开心的。只有拜二，我可以很“自由”一个人出门 （那时年纪小，到那里妈妈都一定载送到底）。 打完球，还会和朋友们到球馆外的茶室点个 roti kosong 配杯 ‘o teh’ 冰。 对于一个只有十来岁的小孩，这已算是最大的消遣。
对于现代忙碌的上班族，每天待在办公室，滴汗不流， 也没什么伸展运动，偶尔打打球，还真的蛮好。至少不会让四肢‘生锈’。 希望买了新球拍，可以有持续的推动力，坚持下去， Gambate！！

如果我是男生
最近有一首歌在电台被热播着。听过第一次，已经觉得很有感觉。那是 Beyonce 的 “If I were a boy” 。 Beyonce 的淳厚声音把歌的精髓唱得淋漓尽致， 听过就很想再听。
再听，我赶紧上网找歌词， 原来听着有感觉的歌， 再了解歌词的意境，感触会更深。
If I were a Boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Cuz they'd stick up for me
If I were Boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cuz he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone
I'd put my self first
And make the rules as I go
Cuz I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home (to come home)
[ I'm Just A Boy lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]
If I were Boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cuz he's taking you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Its a little too late for you to come back
Its just a mistake to think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But your just a boy
You don't understand (yeah,you don't understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Somedays you wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cuz you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
Another version ft R.Kelly
"If I Were A Boy (Remix)"
(feat. R. Kelly)
[Beyonce:]
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what i wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted, and I'd never get confronted for it
Cuz they'd stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[R. Kelly:]
If you were a boy
Then, girl, you'd understand
You need to stop listenin' to your friends
Love, respect, and trust your man
So I go to clubs with the guys
And sometimes flirt with the girls
I should be able to roll out, as long as I'm comin' home to you
And give you the world
But you're not a boy
So you don't have a clue
How I work and pay the bills
How everything I do is for you
[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
[Beyonce:]
If I were a boy (If I were a girl)
I would turn off my phone (I wouldn't play games)
Tell everyone it's broken
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone (girl you that's wrong)
I'd put myself first
And make the rules as I go
'Cuz I know that she'd be faithful
Waiting for me to come home, to come home
[R. Kelly:]
But you're not a boy
So you can't understand
You are not a perfect woman
And I am not a perfect man
[Beyonce:]
I'd listen to her
'Cuz I know how it hurts (and I know how you feel)
When you lose the one you wanted
'Cuz he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed (said I'm sorry)
[Beyonce:]
It's a little too late for you to come back
[R. Kelly:]
But I can't let you go, 'cuz I'm too attached
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But you're just a boy....

Aging !!!
曾经 aging 这个字眼离我是多么的远， 也未曾想过会与我有上任何挂钩。时间不留人，岁月催人老，也开始逐渐向我逼近。我曾经是多么的不屑护理，也没有认真地在保养。
最近，我开始察觉嘴角上方不再那么紧实， 眼部四周也有些许细纹的出现，毛细孔显而易见， 就连脸颊两旁也呈现些许松弛的现象。 我开始紧张起来了，对着镜子反复地照了又照，我好像真的老了。这一些都不是老化的现象吗？怎么现在却变得那么的真实与靠近。
有了害怕，就有了原动力，敷了面膜， 又仔细地膜上 夜霜和眼霜， 发现面膜确实帮了不少。 至少脸部不会再那么干巴巴的感觉。年过二五，就应该仔细保养， 何况我也蹉跎了几年。 想想， 我现在就应该更努力的保养了。

朋友，撑住吧！！
有很多事情，可以让一个人的心情变不好。其中不一定时自己的烦恼事。
身边的朋友发生了一些状况，事情也变得很复杂。最近，我也因为这些事萦绕着自己的思绪。我该怎么做，才可以帮得上忙呢？
我也不晓得。或许身为局外人的我根本不需要自找烦恼。只是再怎么我也不希望我在乎的朋友处于水深火热的处境。我可以感觉他的无助和痛苦，倔强的他未必会因为伤心而怨天尤人。我懂他需要的是时间和空间，来慢慢思考。处于极端的时候，解决事情的态度和方法未必是管用的。
我衷心希望这一切不愉快的事可以赶快解决。雨后的天空，一定可以看见彩虹。朋友，撑住吧！期待转机，期待圆满。。你一定会得到快乐！

Getaway
他兴致勃勃地提起想去玩，金马伦还是遮拉丁呢？ 上网搜寻了一回，最后还是决定了来一趟遮拉丁-逃离城市之旅。
上网预定了The Legend Resort, 时间已是晚上十一点了。他还说要明天五点半启程， 心想肯定累死了。 收拾了东西，赶快躺上床， 阂上眼睛， 想好好休息， 然后明天可以美美的去玩。
早上五点，闹钟响了， 出奇地没有赖床，连他也很兴奋地梳洗， 把行李都放上车，然后一直催我快点。准时五点半，我们就很开心的开车了。这一次的临时之旅，还得谢谢GPS 的领航。 它的准确性的确很高。我们就随着它的带领一路踏上遮拉丁之旅。
~日出~
经过 3 个小时半的行程， 我们终于到了。 但是时间真的还早， 酒店也不让我们check in.我们唯有在沙滩上走走。 离开城市的烦嚣，呼吸沿海的清新空气， 真的能把一切抛在脑后。
我们一路沿着 丁加奴的方向驶去（遮拉丁位于关丹与丁加奴的边界）， 想看看有什么地方可以逛逛，消遣时间。我们发现了一个叫pantai teluk mak nik 的地方。这是一个蛮特别的海湾，沿着海岸线，很多友族同胞把渔竿打直插在沙滩上，等着鱼儿上钓。这样一个画面，我第一次见，真的是新奇又特别。
~ “直钓” 于 Pantai Teluk Mak Nik ~
我们还到附近的 Kemaman 去找寻网上常提到的东源醸蟹。找了一会儿，终于找到了， 我们就赶紧用GPS 记录了地点，以便晚上容易找。 我们到达时，东源好没开店。
逛了一个早上，终于快一点了，就快点赶回酒店。 check in 之后， 真的不懂还有什么节目， 又很累， 就索性来睡个午觉。 好久， 未曾试过睡午觉。 这一睡， 才睡了一个小时。
两点半， 我们决定去游泳。 虽然很热，但是来了，就不要想那么多。。

两点半， 我们决定去游泳。 虽然很热，但是来了，就不要想那么多。。
Legeng Resort 的泳池很大，有两个池那么多。 我们选了一个不太晒的地方， 玩水去了。 游完泳，我们还到 Resort 的 sport centre 去打乒乓 和到处逛逛。 感觉时间真的过的很充实。可能身在远离市区的地方， 时间好像很长， 真的有很悠闲 的心情。 什么都不管， 就尽管放松。
可能是运动的关系， 很快就饿了。我们洗澡过后， 就出发去吃醸蟹。餐单上，有很多海鲜， 但是都没有标价钱 。嘿嘿， 我可是有survey 过的。釀蟹是一只只点的， 一只大约 7 块钱，我们要了两只。我们还点了两只10 块钱100 gram 的老虎虾（一只大概是100 gram）， 一碟小的kangkung 菜和sambal sotong。 好像点了很多， 哎呀，算了吧。 既来之，则‘吃’之。
还没看见之前，还想说是醸蟹是整只螃蟹的。但它不是哦，老板是将蟹肉先挖起来，经过腌制，再放回蟹壳内，拿去炸。 味道还不错，就嫌它有点太油。老虎虾， sambal sotong 和kangkung 就和其他地方的没差了。
~ 醸蟹（Stuffed Crab）~
~ 老虎虾（tiger prawn）~
~ Kangkung 和 sambal sotong ~
这一餐可是吃了60.20 块钱。贵不贵，见仁见智，我觉得贵，他说还好。吃得太饱，所以就随着饭店对面的河边走走。一条看上去像会有鳄鱼的河，哈！！
吃饱，散完步， 时间才7。30 pm。 在这简单的小镇上，我们可以悠哉游哉的慢慢走，慢慢看，时间完全不是问题。
回酒店前，我们还到超市买些小食，想说去海边边吃边吹风。 除了小食，他还买了两瓶啤酒。他说吹着海风喝啤酒，是件享受的事。
这一晚的海风很大，我们选择坐在沙滩边的木椅上， 面对着浩瀚的大海，听着浪花打上 沙滩的声音，让海风轻打在脸上。这一切，都是我常期待的，真的很舒服。
充实的一天，很想早睡早起，很久没试过早过十一点睡觉了。可能是太累了的关系，我们可是一倒在床上， 就睡着了。
~ 酒店的早餐 ~
第二天，我们很想延续充实的时间，早上八点，就换上泳衣到酒店饭厅去吃早餐。 吃完早餐，事不宜迟，我们赶紧跳进泳池。 这个泳池，实在太舒服了，所以很想check out 前，再畅游一遍。
哎，不到半小时，竟然下起雨来。有点扫兴，但也没办法，唯有转变计划，去 jacuzzi 和打乒乓。 累了，就回房间休息。冷冷的天气，泡了杯热咖啡，坐在露台边喝边看昨天买的杂志，这样的一个早晨，还挺不错。
又是时候收拾包袱回家了。虽然这一趟遮拉丁之旅，没有看见很多东西，没有到很多旅游景点， 但是想过一下悠闲的时间，跳脱平常千遍一律的忙碌生活模式，来一趟getaway 之旅，还算不错。
回到塞车的市区，仿佛还听见海风轻轻地吹过耳际。这一次的adhoc 出走，确实带来不同的冲击，让干枯的生活添加一些生气，心情也变好了。希望下一次疲惫的时候，可以再来一次adhoc 的getaway。
