刚刚在小城马六甲度过了一个蛮惬意的周末,同样是开埠多年的小港,流连在小城狭促的街道和夜市,仿佛回到九十年代末期家乡渔港的周末夜晚;不同的是,相比于乏善可陈的糖炒栗子,烤地瓜,烤鱿鱼丝,马市的小吃实在是很正!当初决定去马市也算一个巧合,因为在Agoda搜索酒店的时候,偶然看到马六甲一家民宿的介绍,觉得很有趣味,于是顺藤摸瓜,预定了两家蛮有特色的民宿,一家是一户独门的小洋房,另一家是临河的老屋,坐落在老城中心(如下二图)。全部图片在Picasa。
深夜河道两侧的静谧,夜市的喧嚣和趋之若鹜的食客,实在是很爱,所以刚一股脑的又订了月底的车票同旅店,再去沉溺三天两晚吧!也顺势码点字自我沉淀一番。怎么定义好玩的地方,恐怕去过没多久就迫不及待的又想回归算是一种吧。
所有喜爱的食物都已在相册里,也就不累述了,有两点小小的遗憾:一时晌午的时候避暑看的电影,Oblivion,实在是万不得已的选择,这类题材,这位‘老人家’,实在是可以休矣;二是夜逛食肆,本来计划好做完马杀鸡开始第二轮扫荡,不巧又下雨,实在是很扫兴,还有很多东西没吃啊!
收档
最后感概下,这美如画的河畔夜景
以及相得益彰的本人:)

How to Call in Sick when You Just Need a Day Off: 5 Steps
How to Call in Sick when You Just Need a Day Off: 5 Steps
Steps
- 1Remember, first and foremost, you are about to lie. This is unethical behavior. The best thing you can do is tell the truth and only call off sick when you are actually sick. Every tip after this in the arcticle is geared towards unethical tactics that essentially result in you "stealing" from your employer and co-workers. Lay down some groundwork. A day before your day-off, hint to your coworkers that you're not feeling well. Casually report your "flu-like" symptoms throughout the day. For example, say that your bones hurt and you feel a little sore. This way, your coworkers can make the connection instantly to your mentioned symptoms from the day before.
- 2Prepare an alibi. Before you call your boss, get your excuses ready. Look up the symptoms of the flu on the internet and note the most common ones. If you need to figure out how to manufacture a doctor's note, start the process before calling in sick. While you're at it, it's a good idea to log off any social media sites that you might be tempted to visit on your "sick day." That way, your boss won't stumble over photos of you hiking in the middle of your supposedly debilitating illness or leaving comments that raise suspicions of good health.
- If you want to take off multiple days, pick a good illness. A migraine or a bad case of gastro can get you off for two or more days, as they can carry on for a long time and pop up at any time. Pink eye and strep throat can drag on longer. Whatever you choose, do your research thoroughly so that you can discuss the symptoms with clarity.
- 3Call your boss or supervisor early the next morning. Don't delay––the sooner you tell your boss, the better. Additionally, you'll have a rather rough voice after waking up, giving you that added credibility.
- If you call your boss, make it a short one. Remember, stories are typically the embellishment told by liars. Don't get too detailed––just say that you're not feeling well and won't be coming in. Give just enough information for your boss to believe you, such as saying "I was up all night sick" or "I'm having awful stomach problems." If you're female, say hesitantly, "feminine/woman's problems." That should be sufficient to fend off further discussion.
- Be prepared for questions. Is your boss the nosy type? Try to imagine what kinds of questions he or she might have. For instance, if you work in food service, your boss might wonder how contagious you are. He or she might also ask if you've tried everything possible to make yourself feel well enough to come in. The best policy is to say that you think you're contagious, and that you've tried every remedy you can muster (painkillers, antacids, more liquids, etc.) but all to no avail.
- Casually mention you've called your doctor's office and are waiting to hear back on an appointment time as they're booked out. During peak cold and flu seasons, it may be several days before they could squeeze you in for an office visit. If your employer demands a note after you get back, you can always say your appointment isn't until later in the week. It gives you time to run to the doctor.
- 4Consider another method of contact (optional). If you don't think you could hold up your tale of sickness while talking to your boss on the phone, try an email or text message instead. This way, you don't have to think on your feet and try to sound sick. Keep it short and simple, and express your concern about infecting coworkers.
- 5Follow up on your sickness when you return to work. Don't walk into work after your sick day looking perfectly healthy. Play it up like you're still getting over your illness. Blow your nose a few times or cough softly. If you want to look extra authentic, don't get a lot of sleep the night before so that you show up to work looking haggard and exhausted. This bolsters your credibility for the next time you call in sick (and gives you an excuse to stay up late).

人总是要向前看的
最近真实多愁善感,重读刘墉老师的一些杂书,从前觉得空虚泛滥的东西发现咀嚼起来有了一些新的味道。想必是从前自己对于人性的东西想得太过‘以自我意愿为中心的’,对于自己的情商与豁达有很多不切实际又未加验证的盲目自信。
世事洞明皆学问,人情练达即文章,加深了几个很浅显的道理的体会,也即:冤有头债有主(真的很浅显),任何事情发生了,从自身找些问题的源泉便会豁然开朗很多;有些事后即使你出离愤怒,万念俱灰,好似心被汤匙一点一点的挖掘,但是你还是无法放下,你也便知道你真的要什么了。
不相干的人,今后都不会动小孩子气了,不理不看不想。吐槽发癫的事要杜绝,倘若真的被我剑气所伤(我内力真的很差,吐槽不能),君子绝交不出恶声,别太在意了。
做工啦。
于2013.1.18泛泛而论,聊以自慰,也似警钟。

Exam Week
My first blog written on Blogger IPad, I have been waiting for the release of this app for days, simple but easy using, while still trying to figure out how to view the blogs I followed.
And Yes, I have four incoming exams next week, so exiting! That's why I have stopped blogging these days. I am moving to campus today, live in friends dorm for several days, and probably, I am going to try the overnight room in Library, or, I have to....
I will see you guys when Dec comes, happy Movember! Btw.
