水平线上，椰子树下

好久没有汗流浃背的感觉了。

整整一个礼拜，我在这个6pm-6am才有电供的小渔村内，每天就只光吃、睡以及潜水。吃撑了睡饱了等潜水的当儿，就躺在吊床上感受着火一般的太阳，眯着眼睛让水波光影在我脸上乱画一通，一边啃小说一边听年轻的队友们瞎聊大声嬉笑，过着神仙一般的生活。

过来这里之前，老早就通知天下本人将休假去；所以虽有线路，来电却不多。忘了是否自从开始有了手提电脑后，去那里电脑总带在身边，休假之余也总离不开工作。这一次决定把电脑留在家里，让自己好好地、真正地休假。

休假第一天，我有点挂住我的小白龙电脑，心里想，没有人给它插上电，不晓得小白龙有没有饿着？

休假第二天，小白龙渐渐从我脑海里淡出，取而代之的是缤纷的珊瑚呆头呆脑的小丑鱼侏儒海马大大小小的海龟鲨鱼各种不同的寄居蟹虾只海蜗牛鳗鱼海龙海星水母乌贼章鱼等。

带了吸血鬼爱人的小说，热衷地埋头苦读，只想知道最终女主角是否真的为了爱情放弃灵魂，永恒地和吸血鬼爱人长相厮守。

热得慌了，就走到村口的小杂货铺买瓶半凉的汽水喝。看到脏兮兮缺了门牙的村童，列着嘴笑我和他们一样，满身汗味，无所事事，一点生产能力也没有。

虽然已经尽情地潜水，尽情地充电了，也洒了一身阳光还带了身上一层薄薄的盐花，最后我还是很心不甘情不愿地回到岗位上；结果才发现，把灵魂留在玛布岛上，忘了带回来。

化学缘分

东方与西方的分别的确是挺大的。

就拿咱们说的“缘分”二字，西方人叫做 “chemistry" 化学作用。

你想想看，如果一男一女碰到了，说，”真没想到又在这里碰上，我们算挺有化学作用的。”
这样子说后，他们又该如何浪漫起来？

缘分是有quota的东西，与化学作用一样。两种化学品合成后所产生的化学作用，并不是永远的。所以才会有缘分尽了一词，才可以说 there's no more chemistry in between us.

男女有缘分才能碰上爱上；有缘分才能结成夫妻；有缘分才能一起度过难关一起享受成果。
两个人有缘分才能碰上互相欣赏；有缘分才能成为朋友，有缘分才能一起面对困难，有缘分才能分享快乐。

看来我缘分不少，生命里有男人，有朋友，有家人，有肯让我骂的人，有肯骂我的人，有肯让我发飚人，有肯让我沉默冬眠的人。可是如果缘分真的有quota的话，这里那么多与我有缘分的人，那这里其中的一部分会在某一天从我生命中淡化退出消失？

８５朵玫瑰的怀念

小弟很有心思，花了一个下午的时间将照片组成怀念外婆的片断。外婆，我们很想你。请你原谅小弟的错别字。

外婆你放心，我们都会很乖的。

我爱你。

i curse them...

Dear all,

30 March 2009 (Monday) was like any other day, everything seems normal, i left office around 820pm-830pm. it was raining so i had to use my umbrella to walk to my car. My car was parked at the last lot on the philip wain reserved car park right behind the Milenium Tower building, at the corner next to the loading bay.

i am always very cautious. i always lock my car door when i drive, pump petrol, or even to stop for a few seconds just to drop a letter into the roadside mail box.

but it was raining on 30 March 2009, around 830pm. so i'd need to close my umbrella before i could shut my car door and lock it. just at that very split second, a dark-skinned, 5'3", 55-60kg, small-built guy, with black tees and black helmet, opened my front passenger door (left) and grabbed my handbag, which was still hung on my left arm. To avoid any unnecessary complexity, i let my handbag go. that scumbag shut my car door and ran towards his mate who was waiting for him on a kapchai. i screamed my lungs out during the whole incident. there was a guy standing next to his car, which was parked about 20ft away from me. Before the guy could turn his head to check out what happened, the scumbag was no where in sight.

i quickly locked my car, drove to the side entrance of Milenium Tower (the HSBC entrance) and inform one of the security guard. I drove straight to the pondok police at pusat bandar damansara but it was closed. i went straight to bangsar police station. while driving i've managed to block all my ATMs, credit cards, and my phone (i had another phone with me, thank goodness to that). I made a police report at bangsar police station (Jalan Telawi) at around 8:35pm and then i had to go to the Travers Police Station to meet up with Insp Fairul for further questioning.

these are the advice given by the inspector:
= make a police report IMMEDIATELY right after the snatch crime happens
= you may want to skip the deactivation / blocking instruction to your phone company or your banks and your credit card carriers
= let the thieves use the phone or credit cards, as all transaction made after the time of the reported crime will be waived by the banks and telcos (i was informed that the banks and telcos have insured these losses). this is the only way for the police dept to trace all the scumbags. and due to the fact that most people will be panic and the first thing that comes to their mind is to block / deactivate their phone, ATMs and credit cards, so it is harder for the police dept to locate these scumbags.

his advice seems logical, and i really should hope what the inspector was telling me is true, as this involves resources and technology ability. i certainly would love to see the drop of crime rate, and hope that no one else should go through the same ordeal, it was really traumatising.

i am writing this mail to warn everyone (men or women included) to be extra careful, and to share what I've learnt from this experience:
a) worth to invest in good alarm system for your car, esp those that can only open the driver's side door and the rest still remain locked.
b) do not keep your house key in your bag, esp when your IC or mails/bills that have your full address
c) have your phone and your car key in your hand when you walk to your car
d) be alert with your surroundings
e) do not park your car too close by to walls which will slow you down from getting into the car and lock your car immediately
f) keep some spare change in your car, in case you've lost your phone and can use the spare change to call someone for help. also this is useful when you make police report as you'll have to pay RM2 for each report (dont complaint, we have other bigger "complain-able" issue in our system) (insp fairul donated RM2 to help me paid for my report).
g) stay calm and let the scumbag take the money, instead of harming you. dont try to play hero. i was lucky as the scumbag wasn't holding a parang.
h) if you are alone, is good to have someone to stay with you for the night, at least, as it will be quite traumatising

i curse all scumbags, i curse them to cirit birit no matter what they eat. i hope they trip and fall whenever they walk. i hope they fell when they ride their bikes. i hope they wont get killed in road accident but neither can they live. i am furious with the whole thing. i hope non of you will have to experience anything like this, although my case wasn't as scary / horrible as others.

i was informed that there was a similar snatch crime happened on the same day, same place just before what happened to me.
