悠闲的午餐

人就是爱分享好料，说难听点的话就是爱炫耀，让那些当班的卡们感染一下我的自在。

今天上了早班，也是本人最没精神做事的时候。没办法啦，老板娘要我来，也非来不可。只能带着睡意干活了。真的，蝙蝠侠般的作息很难拔根。但如果往日有他一半那么富贵，拔不拔也罢了。哈哈

前几天跟哥儿摊开心里的话题，可以说是很痛快。很喜欢那种用心说话，用心去听的交谈。因为大家都了解彼此，处事态度，待人方法，可以畅所欲言。偶而一次那样，胜过那处处「只讲好话」的包袱。当然，不仅仅聊废话，也可以互相学习。

好巧，写着写着，在远方那里出现了熟悉的面孔－戴国杰。一个好久没看到的人，一个好久没提过的名字。他是我小学几年的同班同学，和他没什么缘份，也可能忘记我了吧？哈哈，那么多年了，还是胖胖滴。

好了，又得｢踏上归途｣了。

第六集 [终结篇]

今天是成绩放榜日
也是判决一个学生能否毕业的关键时刻

虽然嘴是说不紧张
然而眼睛还是不太敢正视荧幕上的ABC

冷汗还是无法掩饰
用着右手把荧幕遮住，慢慢移下CGPA的地方
那种心情我想每个大学生都能了解

看成绩的时候总是爱搞这些小动作
先‘偷袭’终极分，在目杀每一刻的英文单字

哦！三点二三耶
当下没什么特别的开心或悲哀
只是有苦自己知
比上个学期掉了零点四分
怎么埋怨也无可奈何啦

是的
本人正式宣布，梁贤德
以三点二三完成建筑系学士学位
正式成为大学毕业生！！

五月即将是戴上四方帽的大日子
好期待能和父母一起拍照的喜悦

终于终于，一切都来到尾声了

三年的建筑学士终算告一段落

兴奋又带点期待的心情
很向往以后能真正成为建筑师的优质生活
因为建筑师
可以通过自己的想象力和智慧
创造每个世纪的生活品味
为人类画出更具人性化的规格
我们是神，也是鬼
我们可以创造
也可以推翻
当然也可以我行我素（有名气的时候）

虽然现实中的建筑师是活在悲惨世界里的
长得可悲的工作时间，加班
和电脑相处的时间比人多
上万次的修改，修改，和修改
工资偏少，没有加班费
等等等等。。。。。。。
但我相信，如果你懂得规划
自己也可以做自己的神
用自己的神力闯一番天！

最后的奋斗，别了泰莱！

我来了！残酷的现实社会～～

保庇本小孩能万事如意！

A VISIT TO JOSE & DELI, IPOH

Recently a huge trend of stylish cozy dining places rising up in Ipoh. This time i decided to get myself and Cheeyi to a new restaurant in town, the Jose & Deli Cafe.

The restaurant is actually a part of the French Hotel which is located next to the town's The Store (which was previously Ocean shopping complex). You need to take the stairs up to the 1st floor.

Once you have reached the restaurant, you will see a corner with a big lounge sofa, a featured beer bottles lamp and some goodies for sell. The restaurant's design tends to bring up the Western environment, with a little bit of combination of Seksan style ( yeap, the wire mesh and bricks )

You will be given a few options of dining settings here. Timber decking seem to be a dominant floor finishing, matching with the not-so-contemporary furnitures. A large linear windows on the right to invite daylighting into the space. I personally like the one at the large windows. It sort of giving me a feeling that i'm actually dining at some old English pancake cafes or something.

                   
                         Mojito Mint Soda - RM14.00                                         Cafe Latte - RM 11.00

                                 White Wine Grilled Fish - lunch set comes with desserts ( RM19.00)

The dish was quite delicious, i would said. But a little lack of surprise. Or is it just me that being demanding? haha. Anyway the mojito mint soda is impressive. A very refreshing yet cooling beverage, simply cools the afternoon's heatwave. Cheeyi were saying their desserts have quite a good reputation as well. 

Here's some other shots of the interior aesthetics 

They sell some interesting merchandise of bags, decor stuffs, cushions, tableware, candles and whatnot. Ladies would definitely love it.

A VISIT TO KELLIE'S CASTLE, BATU GAJAH

A great day to get ourself out from home, go under the sun, and blend with some greens. This time we plan to visit the one's ipoh tourist attraction, a well-known castle in state. I was quite eager to visit Kellie's Castle and shoot some nice photos of it. Simple because of architecture. haha.

As expected, Kellie's Castle is stunning with its authentic Madras style of architecture. The building was designed by William Kellie Smith, a Scottish that was fascinated in Hindu religion and Indian culture. The bricks and tiles of the castle were imported from India. 

Architectural values 

It was an ambitious project by Kellie. During the 1900s, it was first in Malaya to have an elevator all the way up to the top floors. Two tunnels are constructed for Kellie and his family to access to the nearest Hindu temple which was also built by Kellie. Indoor tennis courtyard (impressive) is plan on the second floor, and an open rooftop courtyard for parties and gathering.

ventilation window for rooms underneath, with an incomplete tennis court as roof. 

I was quite impressed by this expressive structure. Although the layout was a little bit confusing, but all the rooms are spacious and well ventilated. I do feel the spirit of power and love from it. 

And yes, in such charming and lovely place it was common to find a bunch of model shooting gangs and couple hanging around Kellie's mansion. Not to mention these lovely fellas. :) 

 Unfortunately, Kellie's Castle was not completed due to a flu tragedy that was triggered after World War I,  which had killed numbers of Indian labors that were helped in the construction of Kellie's dream.

That's William Kellie Smith. The charming man behind the castle's tales. It was said that the castle was a proposal to her wife Agnes, asking her to come over and live in Malaya. Some were also said that the castle was built to celebrate his son, Anthony's birth.

It was unfortunate to have those tunnel closed for security purposes. If not it would be an exciting exploration and guts training activity. The building was in fact cooling even with the strong afternoon sun. Oh, we discovered a mysterious footprint on the concrete. That was scary because of the size O.O . Another interesting part of the landscape was the 'bear tree'.

You should go and experience yourself.

乞丐囝仔 书评

那天闲着逛，走到了书局。东走走来西瞄瞄的，突然发现柜子右下方有一本熟悉的书名-《乞丐囝仔》 咦？好像在哪里听过的书名。回想了一会儿，原来是吴老师曾经给我推荐过的一本好书！妈呀，那时好像已是刚上国中的事了。可能是老天爷要启发我什么？看看书的价钱，噢~十八元而已，好吧，干脆来当个书呆子好了。50个标题应该难不倒我！

如果你没有看过《乞丐囝仔》，它是关于一个台湾男子的煎熬人生。顾名思义，故事写实于一个乞丐家庭的长子，从小到变成社会人士的悲惨命运。他出生于一个奇异的家庭。老爸除了是瞎子，老妈则是智障，一家十四口都以行乞为生。这名台客，就是这本书的作者！

还没开始读之前，可能你会和我一样在想：“虾米？乞丐也能出书？大概只是在吹牛吧。”
我想当你把它每一页都消化掉后，除了心态和想法会360度大转变以外，更是会惊呼世上竟然会有如此戏剧化的历练。

读完后，我自己感触蛮深的。

1. 他给我了解到，在夜市行乞的人，不一定是为了自己。有时候他们显得四肢健全，能跑能跳，却在街头上摊开双手要钱。因为他可能是唯一一个在家人当中可以行动的。而在这种情况下，人通常会以貌取人，觉得没必要垂怜他们。像这个囝仔，跑了几百公里敲了一户有一户的家，顶着台风吹袭，为的只是可以领取到喂饱一家大小的稀饭。他让我想到，要真正帮助一个人，其实不需要想到底值不值得，只要当下他需要的，尽自己所能就行了。

2. 要从乞丐，到学校模范生，到中学书法和田径常胜军，再变成厂长，可说是要无比的意志力和勤勉的做事态度。下了目标，就要用心发奋，忽视那些轻视的眼光，努力实现它。有人问他的工作哲学是什么，他说：“我想没有什么哲学，就是‘认真’两个字，我的流浪生活生涯让我深知明白世界上没有侥幸.....每一分的打拼都像是一块坚实的砖块，一点一滴的在为我们的人生奠基，人生如此，工作亦复如此。”

3. 百善以孝为先，做什么事，做什么决定，要想对家人的影响为前提。有的时候，就算自己父母怎么挨打，怎么臭骂，埋怨，那些都只是一时的发泄。把它化为动力，那就是一种美事了。也不要渴望太多的赞许和安慰，那些对你没有实在的帮助，有时反而会让你失去自己。

4. 不是每一件都会是顺利的。然而，每一件事都有好与坏。遇到好的，要想到坏的。当碰上了坏的，要想到好的。这种做法可以让自己的心灵达到平衡。


十分，我会打九。

那一分可能是因为有些桥段跳跃得太突然了。有点吃力的说。可能是因为作者有太多的经历要说了，只好拿掉一些。还有是因为文字排列的顺序是从上到下，这一点我倒是不太喜欢。

这就是他本人啦！赖东进先生。他竟然还拿过十大杰出青年奖，给我们这些生在福中的人狠狠的赏了一个耳光。年轻人啊，要认真点儿！！

他证明了世界上没什么不可能
