Bel Pasto~

继上一篇~12 April 09 的日记~我曾提起,我的晚餐是在名为Bel Pasto 的意大利餐厅享用的~

当打开餐厅的大门,气氛立即变得与外界不一样,一切的节奏都慢了下来~我挺直着身子,以着高贵优雅的气息、姿态坐了下来,彬彬有礼的招待员也不怠慢,立即递上食谱清单。与一般的餐馆不一样,在递上食谱后,并不会站在桌旁等待客人的点餐,招待员会暂时走开,让客人有足够的时间选择,这样,至少不会对精神产生催赶压迫的心理。期间,我注意到在最后靠近柜台的桌子,坐着一名雄壮的外国大汉,甚是英俊,似在玩弄着手中的酒瓶,可能是私人珍藏品,舍不得享用而犹豫不定吧~没想到,他是那边的主厨呢~也可能是老板吧,要不然怎么可能可以如此悠闲呢?点餐后,周围的环境,让我们忘却平时对等待食物的那种厌烦感,唱机播着‘猫王’浑厚却温柔的歌声,一首My Way, 又一首Moon River~~悠雅的音乐徐徐入耳,和朋友慢悠悠,小声的谈话,有声更胜无声的寂静。。。
不一下子,我们的starter便上桌了,一碗蘑菇汤(Mushroom Soup)及一盘蒜头面包(Garlic Bread)

香脆的蒜头面包在端来时,香味已经先飘来~顿时让我垂涎三尺,点着蘑菇汤,然后把面包送入口。香脆的吐司皮,沾着蘑菇的香味,还有本身大蒜,butter的搭配,不禁让我舍不得把面包给吞下去,只想让它们留在口腔,多享受一会儿~

随即,热饮也端上来了,一杯latte(left)、 一杯Cappucino(right)。两杯同样是咖啡却不一样的味道。。虽我没什么懂得品尝这一类咖啡热饮,但是只凭卖相,已经很不错了~

若有谁会品尝的,不妨在品尝后告诉我,这两杯latte & cappucino 是否把你给灌醉了~

前餐,我们已经吃完,招待员们便端来我们的主餐,Pasta~ Spag. Olio(spicy), Bolognese, and MaCa. Milanese(beef)(左至右顺序排列)


带有辣味的olio可能会成为某些人的挚爱,才8.90的价钱,吃一盘意大利面,并不会太昂贵,更何况是在这种优雅的环,或许会品尝出不一样的味道~我吃的便是第二盘的Chicken Bolognese..9.90的价钱仅次于Olio,是食谱中最便宜而且不辣的那个,不好辣椒者可以选择这一盘意大利面,虽不是主厨推荐的食物,但是我觉得还蛮不错的,肉碎搭配番茄酱汁,干捞仅仅熟干的面~而另一位朋友,就点了牛肉通心粉,非道教者,可以点来吃~可以品尝到除鸡肉外,不一样的肉味。。



前菜,主餐,热饮~自然少不了餐后甜品。。而Bel Pasto出名的甜品便是Tiramisu蛋糕。。没有饼底托着,Tiramusu蛋糕却能挺挺的站立,下了自然是不少的功夫~
了不得~不得了~Tiramisu上先浇了甜甜的巧克力汁,然后再撒上带苦涩味的可可粉,中间有乳酪和馅的搭配。。一刀切下去,放进口中,那种甜中带甘,苦中露甜的味道,真是好吃极了,吃完后,还真想再叫多一盘,甚至现在,我看着这张照片,写着餐后感,肚子也不禁打鼓。。
后记:有女朋友的男生,不妨带着另一半到这里享用晚餐~最好是过了繁忙时间后,环境效果会更好的。。据我所知,在Metro Prima和Aman Puri都有一间~但价钱好象不一样~
到此,望大家能一起享用如此美好的一餐吧~

Diary for 12, april 2009~

Today is the day that I ever over-spent…However, all what I spent at are more valuable than the cost that I had paid. This is what about today…

12,April 2009, Sunday – The last day of PIKOM PC Fair where held in KLCC convention centre. Hao Chia(Lyne) had asked me whether I will follow or to accompany him to go to PC Fair..Since I felt so boring today and I would like to buy some PC programming book for self-study, I agreed to accompany him to go KLCC, Huan Yang(hy) as well. About 2.30pm, Lyne reached my home and fetch me together with hy and start going to KLCC. Unfortunately, it’s rainy day , and it wasn’t look good. We just take on the risk, “Flying” to KLCC, because we think it was late when we reach there. Just like what had mentioned, when we reach there, we got stuck in the bad traffic jam, turn round and round in KLCC surrounding, to look for a car parking. More than 1 and half hour we find for the car parking..Finally, we found that car parking which is near to KLCC convention centre, with fix rate RM6.00, a quite reasonable price. Gosh….look at the clock, it was almost 5pm, you can imagine how long we got stuck in there.

The hungriness urged me to have a lunch quickly, if not I couldn’t continue my KLCC journey as well as to write my blog here. We had chosen BurgerKing instead of A&W to have our simple meal. Oo…it is second time I have my meal in BurgerKing, my first experience was bad that I could still remember the staff continuously gave me the wrong balance, swt!! Of cause, because of Sunday and the PC Fair exhibition, there were so much people queuing up for ordering the food. After we finished our lunch, we step forward into convention centre through the tunnel. Nothing much different in the PC Fair compare to last time in January, the most would be the MP5 and the RM1k earphone. Technology nowadays is growing very fast, 5th generation Media Player even launched and sold in market, and that I don’t even know. Hence, I think I have to update my knowledge more often and frequent.

It was shock one, how could a headphone cost 1.3K ringgits?? It surprised me!! Lyne and I requested to have a demo about that headphone to try out what special effect by using. Ooo.. No wonder~ when I wearing the headphone, I couldn’t hear the noise in surrounding, just like listen to a closed concert, the echo sound in ear had totally covered the noise outside. Although I know the promoter who was just stand beside me talking with me, but I really cannot heard what she said. Somehow, I think it is a negative to me, firstly, the damage caused to our listening would surely amplified compare to a normal headset. Secondly, think about it, how if someone is shout for emergency calling? Like Fire, bla bla bla?

Follow on, after we exit the PC Fair and redeemed all the free gifts in counter, we go to Kinokuniya Book Store. Wow, all the books are categorized and placed neatly in the bookshelf. I saw the programming bookshelf part, and I walk there to choose which programming language that I want to study during my 2-month-holiday.. Originally, I would like to choose to learn C#, but my friend said got free E-book, so I changed my mind, select Java programming language to learn first. Don’t be surprise why I choose to study Java by self as it can be learn in class. I think there are many languages need Java as fundamental, Like JSP, .Net…Hence, I think I have to master Java first before I learn other languages.

It was quite late after we exit Kinokuniya, so we decided to have dinner outside, after that only back home. We had argued along the route, cause we don’t know want to eat what. We finally selected an Italian food restaurant – Bel Pasto…Then, we had go back home~ Home sweet Home~

Moral Values consisted with environment protection

This is one of my assignment, it may not so good in writting skill and may be others as well, but I would like to share it with you all.

Introduction
Ecology is becoming a more and more important subject nowadays because it scientifically studies the relation of nature and living organisms with each other as well as with their surroundings. Furthermore, this subject investigates the unique interactions in our environment. Amid this, global warming was one of the issues which had been discussed recently. An article titled “Global Warming” had been written and published on NASA website at 11 May 2007 and the author of the article – Holli Riebeek, had compiled the facts and some figures over global warming inside his article.
In the article, author stated that there were almost 600 scientists had sifted more than thousand of studies in last five years and concluded that warming of the climate system is unequivocal. Evidently, humans are to be blame for this phenomenon because of greenhouse gases that spewed from cars and factories. However, would slight increase of temperatures for decades cause a big problem for human? Yes, it is. Even a slight change on temperatures over a century is capable of producing significant changes in environment and way of life. With the significant figures that had been recorded, scientists predicted that in the future, the temperature will keep on rising, cause the seas rise, which could leave low-lying nations awash in seawater. Hence, human is necessary to understand what global warming is and how does it impact humanity.

Discussion
Firstly, egoism moral theory took in case to be discussed. An egoist would consider a value as good if it benefits the egoist himself, and bad or cruel if it harms or causes him to suffer a loss. “For decades, cars and factories have spewed billions of tons of greenhouse gases into atmosphere,” which is abstracted from article, had shown that humans are egoists; they had considered their self interest is more important than the environment surrounding. According to John Dewey, these moral behaviors were being encouraged because of their actions were generally accepted and they were social conditioned.
In detail, humans’ action on their selfishness is in aligns with the principle of ethical egoism. It is because humans possess the right to act in a way that can bring the highest good. Indeed, the highest advantage for human will be the conveniences that brought by vehicles and factories. Vehicles may give convenience for human to travel from different places, whereas, factories produce a lot of product which satisfied human materialistic lives. It had exactly showed that human had the moral obligation to act and to make decisions by referring the moral standard that increasing their own welfare.

Secondly, deontological theory is referred in this case too. In deontological theory, the basic duties and rights of individuals or groups and act in accordance with those guidelines will be mainly considered. Mostly, the decision to be made will depend on how an individual or a group considers the moral obligations. If humans wanted to act morally according to deontological theory, they must have self-consciousness in receiving specific constraints, such as to protect environment for avoiding continuingly global warming, which place their limits between self-interest and general good. Apart from that, human needs to judge his or her action depend on the standard, and not on pleasure of suffering, whenever it is consistent with the rules, it would be regarded as moral, otherwise, it is not.
According to principle of duty, human should do a moral duty towards others, such as towards environment in this case. Humans want to do something to protect environment heartily, such as reducing use of unrecyclable resource. If recyclable resources are being used widely, it would help to reduce consuming of new resources. As a result, it lengthened the duration of consuming limited resources. With freedom set for human, they would want to measure the conditions and benefits between them and the environment intelligently and finally make an appropriate choice to perform their moral action.

Thirdly, society authorities are required to pay more efforts on this issue. Since they have adequate authoritative power to control or influence the entire society to act morally to the environment, they need to create rules and orders for society to follow for achieving the goal. After social orders had been created, it would become a tradition for future generations; make them aware of environment issues. Certainly, the social orders would need to be modified so that it could suit future situation, hence the future generations would not follow it blindly.

Finally, in aligns with moral ethical dimensions, human would want to judge their actions in three dimensional ways, which are moral reasoning, moral feeling, and moral performance. First of all, humans have to think about the environment surrounding, if the environment being destroyed, it would resulting that the ecosystem would also be influenced and even cause species extinction. Hence, starting protect environment to avoid impact to ecosystem as well as continuingly global warming as humans’ main reason. Thus, they may feel sympathies to environment, the animals and earth. This avoidance can be done through some simple actions, especially in humans’ daily lives. Humans should bring along their personal Tupperware or container to pile the foods, instead of using unrecyclable plastic bags.

Conclusion
In a nutshell, human would needs to take attention to their action, which had spewed a lot of greenhouse gases that may cause green house effect, even global warming. Although humans possess their right to create anything that may brings side effect on environment, such as air pollution, increasing their own welfare, they are obligate to protect the environment, and it would finally benefits human in long term. Furthermore, human should balance their self-interest and general goods, act morally according principle of duty.
Besides that, human would need to have social morality which can be achieve by following the social orders set by society authorities, who will lead the entire society to aware of the climate changes and start protecting the environment. Apart from that, in aligns with moral ethical dimensions, humans would perform their moral actions after they morally judging their actions with a moral reason and the feeling on it. Humans need to gain an understanding of how is environment protection consisted with moral values.

Earth Hour 60

“没有它的出现,我们看不见绿油油的草地,优蓝的天空。如果没有了它,我们又何以立足?它存在世上愈万年,现在,已是一幅年迈的身躯,但是,却又在默默地为子民服务,为子民带来昼夜,以及更美好的未来。它存在世上愈万年,没有人曾听见它一声的哀叹,或是老迈的声音,就这样一声不吭的。。。。

或许有人认为,这是什么啊?能算得上伟大吗?激情的你,听到这么样的话,是否会气愤了起来?欲在那人的脸上留下‘到此一游’的痕迹?又或者,内敛的你,虽会感慨它不平的遭遇,却无能为力,深深地叹气呢?是的,不论哪一种的你,都会感到它很伟大,甚至会忍不住,泪水就跟着从眼眶满溢了出来,缓缓地在脸颊上流下。可是,你万万想不到的是,它并不介意这么样的一句话,它的伟大不是为了让人认可而存在,而是实实在在的,一份温暖的伟大~

不料,它的子民,仿佛不晓得‘惜’为何物,正滥用着这无私、温暖的伟大,为各自的利益在残害对方,更甚的是,这一切的自私都殃及了无辜的池鱼。自私的他们牟取了不少的利润,无奈的,为他们付出的却是它,就如一份不平等条约,一方打压着另一方。。今时,只要你仔细一看,天哪!!脸颊、身、四肢,不无一处不是伤疤。。没有医生的照料,它那伤疤并不是缝过的痕迹,而是在溃烂的疤痕,惨不忍睹!不堪入目啊~”

至此,亲爱的、聪明的您了解到它的伟大吗?看到了子民的自私吗?必然的,您心中的那一个答案,不会是一个违背良心的答案。。

亲爱的您,请望一望您脚下的一片绿土,是否也无条件地给您践踏、支撑着你,让您不会迷失自我身心?在望一望天空,仔细回想,多久了?已经多久,天空没有出现晴朗的星辰?或者是似浪涛紧密的云朵,其中还间插着蔚蓝的天穹?

一切,都是我们自己的杰作。。是我们,把蔚蓝的天空撒上暗淡的灰雾。。是我们,虽不自觉地,但却徐徐破坏着自然生态~

各位。。别要成为文中自私的子民。。现在及时抽身吧!为我们,为下一代栽下一棵乘凉的大树。。以行动证明我们对这份伟大的感谢。。
请于28/3/2009 晚上8:30-9:30 关掉电灯,风扇。。电源。。响应Earth Hour 2009 环保活动~

最后,希望各位以后能抱着环保的意识,为我们从自私的系列中除名~
请把讯息传达给身边的朋友,或把这篇文章贴在自己的blog上~~

更希望给我留下comment ba~

爱护地球,爱护大自然~人人有责!!

No acting on Environment...work it out!

我唱故我在~

曾几何时, 我唱故我在成了我msn的显示名称。。顾名思义,我存在,因为我歌唱~
每个人都有能力去歌唱,这是不容置疑,只不过每个人的欣赏观点都不一样,所以才造成了生活上我们常听到的一个词“好听”和“不好听”。。只要建立了自信,每个人唱的歌都好听的。。我觉得不应该去比较。。每一个人的歌唱都有长处,我们应该尽量去学习。。

于我,我记得我第一次唱歌应该在4、5岁,唱的并不是两只老虎的歌,而是随口唱的流行歌。。因为那时候我扭开收音机或是什么,听到的都是流行歌嘛~歌唱对我是一个表达自我的方式,人沟通的方式是很自然天然的。。随着我的感情乍泄,我的歌声可以是很自然的,很好听的。。怀疑?!这是我10多年建立来的自信耶。。哈哈,讲到唱歌,你让我脸皮厚一点啦~不然我真的抬不起头。。

我并不是一个职业的歌唱者。。我没有应允需要去出专辑,因为我知道我做不到。我只是一个业余唱歌的人。。有着那么一点知识以及天赐的声音去闯江湖~我曾经参加过合唱团,他让我认识到歌唱的另一种境界。合唱是一个用着不同声音,通过空间的交感,产生一种让人听了又一种身心感动的声磁,四个声部SATB( Suprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass)的声感交错唱出来的声音。。现在我毕业了~离开合唱团也有1年的日子,真是想念当年歌唱的日子。

我进入合唱团的时间只有三年的光景,不长不短,但是凭着我自己的领悟性,我在短短两个月(真正投入歌唱的时间)抓到了合唱的基本技巧,让我对平常的歌唱方法有着更深一层的了解。因此,我抛开了之前自己对唱歌的认识,从新的学习。。短促的3年,让我学到的并不是很多,所以我现在真是出于半天吊,我记忘记了以前歌唱的方法,真正唱歌的技巧又不是很pro。。但是至少现在无论我唱得好或不好,都没人说我,因为我已经建立了这一份信心,可不是这么容易被打击的哦~

现在,又有一个机会了,中华校友合唱团好像在招生,基于时间问题,我不知道我是否有时间去应付,但是我却是很想很想参加,因为我觉得那是我属于的世界。。但是,什么事都说不好~haiz..我该怎么办?!

其实,我对歌唱有着一份真挚,看过了几部以歌唱为主题的电影,moulin rouge, High School Musical 等。。他们都是表达着几乎一样的讯息,就是用歌唱来沟通,他们发自内心的把心中的词唱出来,真情流露,这种唱法,我是最为提倡的。配合自己的身体语言,再敢敢地show出来,其实并不丑~学会放开、出丑,是学习的第一步。。我个人非常向往这一种唱法,我总是想着,如果有一天我有机会统筹一个歌唱节目,它会是一个与民同乐,带动观众动起来一起唱歌的节目~

最终,希望大家有一个适合自己歌唱的舞台,尽情发挥~

《东声。西乐》~ 当陆在易遇上John。Rutter

2/21 日,是东声西乐正式对外演出的第一天。。
地点:精武会馆
时间:7:45pm~10:15pm

在于不挑剔及享受团员练习成果的大前提下,我观赏,也聆听了这一场历时约二小时30分钟的演出。若要下一句简评,我想会是这样,学员能力已大大地提升,声部之间也建立起一份默契,虽然仍需改善以唱出实而强的"音墙",但是大致上还不错。

当在演唱东声,陆在易的歌曲时,我觉得表演者们已经交足了他们应有的水准,当中令我深刻的是第二首歌《好爸爸,好妈妈》以及《桥》。。。他们都演唱的不错,我当时有着一丝感动及悚然的感觉。。对于教练,陈惠群师的领唱,却无意中透露出团员们声部之间的不足,因为团员们并不能实实在在的去support领唱者,而显得一支独秀~

而在演唱西乐时,我个人并不能对他们所演唱的歌做出任何批评,毕竟我对英文歌的结构及它们要表达的意境并不是十分的了解。但是,对于节目的编排及其中团员在台下演唱的排法,我有着一些意见。。

首,曲目的安排,虽然是东声与西乐,但是陆在易和John Rutter 的歌曲被断暂的中场休息清清楚楚地划分开来,因此,我不能从中听东风与西风对碰下有着什么火花。次,对于下半场第一首歌,Candlelight Carol, 团员们的排法应该有问题吧?!因为一字排开,Suprano站在前面,Bass却对着我的那一排,整首曲子,我不能听到任何和谐感,因为除了bass,我不能听到其它声部了~

对于四声部中,无疑,Tenor让我应像最深刻,因为Tenor们的音色都很沉实,缺乏一种嘹亮感,可能是基于教练的要求,Tenor们都显得很Man..但是在某些歌曲高音的部分时,Tenor1 的高音确实恰到好处,清晰的音准,用着pp的声量支持着歌曲的range~

不能参与演出是我的遗憾,但愿下一次我会有机会, 适当地抛开及保留我的歌唱知识,从新学习~
