虚荣的同事

说到肤色，印尼华人普遍比印尼本地人更白。

在去办公室途中，我看见了一位 同事。奇怪，今天她怎么一瘸一拐地走。

「发生什么事了？」我问她。

「昨晚滑倒了，我把脚踝扭了，」她回答。

「哦，真可怜！」我抓住她的手想扶她走。

「不，不，不，不行，」她拒绝了。她看我很困惑，就解释说：「抱歉，别人看我们手拉着手是不好的。他们肯定要把你的肤色和我的做比较。」

她 是印尼本地人，我是印尼华人。我笑了，放开了她的手。明白了。说到底我也是一个虚荣的女孩。

my vain colleague

Talking about skin, one of Indonesian-born-Chinese's is generally fairer than that of native Indonesian's.

This morning, on the way to my office, I saw a colleague walking funny.

"What happened?" I asked her.

"I slipped and twisted my ankle last night," she answered.

"Poor you!" I grabbed her hand, intending to help her walk.

"No no no don't," she refused, and upon seeing my baffled face, added: "Sorry, but if people see us hand-in-hand, they'll compare your skin color to mine."

She was native to Indonesia, while I was of Chinese descent. With the understanding of her point, I laughed and dropped her hand. After all, I was also a vain girl.

第一次被全球速卖通退款

让我告诉你我在全球速卖通的经历。卖家没有处理我的订单，所以全球速卖通把钱退还给我。重点是，美元兑印尼的汇率比我当初付钱时低，导致我损失了一些钱。 ：（

aliexpress refund for the first time

Let me tell you about my experience shopping at Aliexpress. The seller didn't process my order, so aliexpress returned my money. The thing is, USD to IDR currency is higher when I placed my order than when they refund my money, so I lost a few IDRs. :(

哈曼女士卖《苦太》

。。。她也卖我最新最喜欢的木瓜叶食物。遗憾的是我并不知道那道菜的名字。

哈曼女士有一些的分店。奇怪的是，不同分店那木瓜叶子菜的味道竟然不一样。我最喜欢阿盾市场哪家分店的味道。

顺便说一下， 她的法鲁镇布贝·乐其区的支店刚刚搬到新的地方，距离旧址只有几百米。它现在位于新加坡国民学校的对面。

madame harman's gudeg

... hosts my newest craving for a dish that contains papaya leaves. But it's a shame I don't know the name of the dish.

Madame Harman opens in various Iocation. Strangely the dish tastes different in different places. I love what they do to the dish in Pasar Atom most.

By the way, her restaurant in Pepelegi Waru area just moved a few hundred metres from its old location. It is now located across Singapore National Academy.

关于态度

当我们觉得累了，被威胁或遭遇不公平对待时，自我控制是最难做到的。我在脑海里不断对自己说「态度，态度。」当我在深圳和香港的边境线排队时, 《皇岗口岸》如果我没弄错的话 , 等候中国和香港的出入境。没错，从深圳到香港出入境和去外国一样的要进行海关安检 。队伍很长，人们缓慢地前进犹如蜗牛。

结局是我排了两个小时,然后还剩一些态度，继续我到香港九龍的旺角地區的旅程！

on attitude

Self-control is the most difficult to exercise when we feel tired, threatened, or treated unfairly. I remembered chanting the word 'attitude, attitude' in my head waiting in line at the Shenzhen-Hong Kong border, Huanggang Border Crossing if I'm not mistaken, for China and HK immigrations and customs. Yes, people travelling from Shenzhen to Hong Kong must pass immigrations and customs, just like going to another country. The line was long and people moved forward with the speed of the snail.

In the end I got out after queueing for 2 hours, and with some attitude left continued my journey to Hong Kong's Kowloon Mongkok area!

爱国主义研究

我的西安朋友告诉我他在大学主修了材料化学。它是材料和化学之间的交叉学科。它可以被用于生产新的材料，例如：纳米粒子，太阳能电池，等。

我问他那里的科学家们赚的钱是不是比商人们赚的更多。他说：「很难成为一个科学家。而且，我们赚的钱更少。」

「那为什么主修它？」我问他。

「我们是一个发展中国家，作为一个中国人，我们有责任加入到祖国建设中去。」

听了他说的话，我无言以对，因为在印尼很多人将自己放在第一位。

patriotic studying

A friend from Xi An said he took material chemistry major in university. It was an interdiscipline subject between materials and chemistry. It can be applied in producing new materials, for example: nano particles, solar cells, etc.

I asked him whether scientists made more money than merchants there. He said: "Being a scientist is very hard. On top of that, we also earn less money."

"Then why are you taking it?" I asked.

"Our country is a developing country, as a Chinese, we should take our responsibility to support our own country."

His answer left me speechless because in my country people put themselves first before the country.

我应该仅仅为了使用Outlook帐户而移民国外吗？

我刚刚生成一个Outlook帐户。 但当我想发送一封电子邮件时，有警告说：「请验证你的帐户。我们发现你的Outlook.com帐户存在一些异常活动。为了帮助保护你，我们暂时阻止了你的帐户。」我没理它，我觉得微软无聊了。但微软是认真的，我的电子邮件完全发不出去！

最后我忍了，但网站请求手机通过验证，《印度尼西亚》没有上市！比尔·盖茨他妈。。

没错，我以前写了这样的事情。

should i move to another country just to use my outlook account?

I just created an Outlook account. But when I wanted to send an email it said "Please verify your account. We've noticed some unusual activity in your Outlook.com account. To help protect you, we've temporarily blocked your account." I brushed it off, thinking Microsoft was being silly. But Microsoft was serious about it, I couldn't send any emails at all!

So I relented, but this happened: They asked for a mobile phone verification, but they didn't have 'Indonesia' listed! Wtf?

Yes, once I wrote something like this.

不，她自己不是一个妓女

一个朋友在读完我的博客之后发表意见。她觉得我写了太多关于妓女卖淫的事。她说，不是每个人都有條件做。

今天在《掌上中国》看到一个类似的评语，我才明白她的意思。《上错岸》写：「吃软饭也是门技术活 谁都能吃吗 长的丑 又没钱 又没房 又没车 又没个人魅力 想吃也吃不到啊 所以他们吃能嫉妒的去骂有能力吃的 哈哈哈哈哈」

不，吃软饭不是卖淫。对，我猜我的朋友想说的是，如果我想成为一个妓女也做不到啊！但她指桑骂槐，所以听起來不太刻薄。

and no, she is not a prostitute herself

A friend shared her two-cents after reading my blogs. She thought I wrote too much about prostitution and the like. She said not everyone can do it.

I just understand what she meant after encountering a similar comment on chinaSMACK today. Someone called 上错岸 wrote "'Eating soft rice' is actually a technical job, not one anyone can do. If you’re ugly and you don’t have money nor house nor car nor personal charm, you can try and still not succeed! So, they can only enviously go criticize those who have the ability to do so! Hahahahaha!"

No, eating soft rice is not prostituting. Yes, I suspect that my friend basically said I didn't have what it took to become a prostitute. She just masked it so it didn't sound too harsh.
