现在是佳节时期,从圣诞节到农历新年都会有许多慈善团体呼唤大众献爱心,让社会不幸一群也感受佳节的温馨。
然而大家虽然还挺踊跃响应,但是据新闻报道,许多慈善团体这时候恰恰面对两难,就是同一类物质,大众都一涌而捐,结果过剩、而同时又有其他日常用品捐献者少想到而奇缺。
这一次圣诞长假,因为会经过这家位于新山古文茶的佛教慈善隆华老人院,想到买一些物资给这家免费招收社会所有有需要的人士(不计宗教种族)的老人院。
本来我也想买一些米以及干粮饼干等,但幸好我买之前谷歌一番,才知道白米饼干属于过剩的物资,但院方当然不会拒收,拒绝捐献者的好心。
报道说老人院更需要成人尿布、美禄以及食用油。我不确定这家隆华老人院是不是也需要上述物品,就买一部分,去到那里再问院方。
以下图片为大众所捐献物品:
我问负责人有些什么物品是该家老人院需要的,他给我们看了列表,或许其他老人院也大同小异吧?
大家如果在这佳节想付出一些,不妨先拨电话给孤儿院老人院问问负责人什么物品更为需要吧!让钱花在刀口上比较好吧。
乐捐当然也不错,只是亲手交上捐献品好像感觉好一些。

新加坡迈向数码电视 Digital TV Singapore
新加坡电视台将在明年年头进入数码时代,而这代表着现有的电视机,就算智能电视,还是要有另外的配件才能观赏。
之前一直以为家里电视已经是智能电视不必理会了,可是几个月前,电视频道上右上角出现"Analogue"字眼, 才知道智能电视也还要另外的天线才可收看。
不久前,有关当局就在宏茂桥市镇摆设了路演来讲解这数码电视,我也正纳闷怎么自己没收到信件,告知可获解码器等事项,想去问问详情。
本来还以为需要报名才可以获得解码器,问工作人员,才知道只有新加坡公民,住在政府组屋,且没签约付费电视如Singtel Mio 或StarHub ,才有资格获得政府颁发免费的解码器告知信。
而当局也贴心地在路演安排了解码器销售商到场,给不符合资格、而希望购买解码器的观众临场购买。
解码器也不便宜,一套就要价99元。而且还要附上小天线在门边以搜集讯号。
现在都较少看电视了,除了新闻和一些资讯型节目、综艺节目,
电视有点成为客厅的装饰品的感觉。个人觉得这些节目都无需高质量的画面,要掏钱另买解码器实在不怎么值得。奈何不买就连新闻都没得看了,电视机就成为真正的装饰品了 :(

你也可以去这网址查询你的电视是否数码电视: 网页
很不幸的,我家的智能电视也不太智能:
以下是该路演的一些内容,大家看看是否对大家有用,已换数码电视的朋友也可留言,有些什么差别吗?
详情可参考这里: Digital TV Singapore
后记:
如此劳师动众全国大家一起换数码电视,柔南地区的朋友也被影响了,好奇会有超过一半的人一起升级数码电视吗?新加坡媒体对柔南地区的软实力影响会渐渐少去吗?

自助买邮票 Self Service Stamp Purchase
科技发达,很多时候书信都电子化了,所以寄信的次数,简直可以一双手数得过来。加上几年前新加坡邮政还每家每户送上邮票本,@auleo 几乎在新加坡不曾购买邮票以寄信。
可有些时候,还是有些客户是极吝啬到一定要你邮寄签收单给他,而不愿自己花钱打印,所以还是有寄信的需要。
放工后,邮政局也快关了,而且邮政局的地点有点不便,需走挺远的,那要买邮票怎么办呢?
还好新加坡邮政在许多地铁站外设了很多自助机器SAM Machine 供用户还账单等等。最近这SAM machine 搞升级,可以从机器购买邮票。
经过SAM machine想到需要邮票,就试一试自助买邮票。点击“购买邮票”选项,选择你要的邮票面额,你可以根据它的邮费表选择你要的面额,多少张。
如果你不确定邮费,可以选择右上角的Postage Calculator,选你的目的地与邮件重量就可以了。
选好了就是缴费的时候了,可以选NETS 或 NETS Flash 来还,最简单不过就是拿出你的交通卡EZylink ,放到读卡机上就行了。
由SAM machine 出售的邮票都是贴纸类的。个人觉得不错,挺方便贴上信封的,不用再用手沾水
真心希望大马邮政也考虑购入这样的自助机器,方便群众还账单买邮票等等。

Bangkok Chao Phraya River Ride 曼谷河游船
这一次到曼谷的酒店选了坐落于拷山路的Ibis Hotel, 由于靠山路就在曼谷旧城区,所以公交方面不是很方便(幸好不是住很多天)。
既然是老城区,就得依靠传统的交通工具了 -Chao Phraya 昭拍耶河的公交船。而最靠近拷山路的码头就是十三号码头Phra Arthit 站了,这一站可以近距离看到这宏伟的大桥:
公交船分很多种类,主要是由船上的旗帜颜色区别,由于@auleo乘搭当天是周末,所以只有橙色与蓝色旗帜的船。不同颜色旗帜停不同的码头,所以码头上会放上颜色旗。
橙色是当地人也会乘搭的,费用非常廉宜,一趟不计距离才13泰铢,所以如果是自由行,时间比较宽裕,可以考虑乘搭,看看chao phraya 河边的景色。
蓝色旗帜是专门给游客的,但由于有做功课,所以不作考虑乘搭,费用比较高,一趟泰铢50元。船线几乎大同小异,只是站点比较少,可能比较快抵达目的地。
我们要去的是对岸的郑王廟,所以搭公交船是最理想的工具,而不是搭计程车绕一大圈。
在这里要给大家一个贴士,我自己在网上找不到这提示,就是在周末,橙旗船是有到郑王廟,而无需在九号码头转一艘不断往返的专船。
游玩郑王廟完毕,如果还有其他地点要去,当然就往1号码头Saphan Thaksin 去最方便了,那里有轻轨BTS 站衔接。一号码头那里也可以转搭Asiatique 免费专船。
在我错误下船后,等候另一艘橙旗船的时候,看到一批又一批主要是东方游客在导游安排下,乘搭专船。个人觉得那少了点旅游的乐趣,有机会的话,尝试跟当地人一样乘搭,也蛮有趣的。
没有位置坐,就未能观赏河边美景呢!双手得紧握护手。
河边的民居,昭拍耶河不时飘着一股味道不好受呢。。
Holy Rosary Church 玫瑰圣母堂
崭新购物中心River City
葡萄牙大使馆也是在昭拍耶河畔的
豪华大饭店,烈日当空,也有人在那里晒太阳喝咖啡
餐厅船,应该是做晚餐的。
停车场的车辆停得很惊险,都不明白为何冒险,前方还有位呢!
诸位读者有到曼谷自由行,推荐乘搭这昭拍耶河公交船,欣赏曼谷河岸美景

Johor Bahru San Low Seafood 新山美食-三楼米粉
在马来西亚半岛最南端的城市新山,有一个大排档品牌是名牌-那就是三楼,而他们家招牌菜就是三楼米粉。
In Johor Bahru, the southern-most city in Peninsula Malaysia, there is a popular brand name in "Zi-Char", named after "San Low", literally means "Third Floor" in Chinese. And their signature meal is San Low Fried Mee Hun.
当@auleo询问身边的新山同事,很多都不时会推荐这家三楼海鲜园,所以其实早就久仰大名,可是常常就是不顺路或忘了,就那么多年不了了之。
When @auleo asked around Johor Bahru Friend and Colleague any recommended food or restaurant, most of them did mention this "San Low", and this time I always jokingly asked :"which building's third floor?", and there I get to know this restaurant long time ago. But always did not have chance to pay a visit.
还记得第一次听到这三楼米粉,我还满天问号:“就是哪里的三楼?”,这时可能会有人答:“就是彩虹花园那里的三楼啊”,通常这会让我更好奇是那里的三楼。
最近,就机缘巧合下去了新山市区,@auleo突发奇想,不知道这三楼米粉是不是真的那么好吃啊?驱车前往彩虹花园还在暗忖,下午5点半应该开门做生意了吧,别让我久等啊!
Recently, @auleo did have an opportunity when I do some shopping in JB downtown. Suddenly idea sparked in my mind, why not give San Low a try since so many JB friends recommended it. And on my way drive towards this restaurant, I still wondered at this time 5;30pm would they have started business, Hopefully do not need to wait for long time.
去到餐馆才知道,我们算是较迟抵达的食客了,因为举目望去,餐馆已经半满。。我们的坐位都相当靠近厨房,如果不是大风扇,是相当热的位置。
When we reached the restaurant, then we know we are considered slight late comer already , as the tables were half occupied. Thus our table was quite near to the kitchen, if not the big fan, the location will be a bit hot and stuffy.
这就是新山著名的三楼干炒米粉(同行的有对海鲜敏感就叫店家别放虾了,不然标准例牌是有虾只的)。再次举目望去,每张桌子都点这道三楼米粉,我看厨房里应该有一个厨师是专门准备这一道吧?
Below is the famous San Low Fried Mee Hun , and I noticed all tables ordered this fried mee hun, which I think there should be a dedicated chef for this signature meal.
还有他们家的辣椒是一级棒的,叠着这座山一样高,而且我留意到厨房做打包工作的地方有个口诀:“打包多少钱给多少包辣椒”,看来许多食客是冲着他家辣椒而来的。
MUST NOT miss their chilli ! I believe many are make their return trip because of their chilli. And I notice there was a formula for food pack-away ie how much packing then issue how many pack of chilli.
另一道招牌香港豆腐 ,也是必点。
Another signature is Hong Kong Dou Fu:
再来佛缽飘香 Yam Busket
这些都是该家餐馆的招牌菜。由于人数的关系,所以我们也没点多菜,但这一次的到访留下美好回忆,也将成为未来再光临的伏笔。
Below are all the signature meals in this restaurant. Due to headcount, we did not order much but we did have a good image on San Low Seafood, and definitely will return if we are nearby.
餐馆里看得出有许多来自新加坡的食客,而且这餐馆的收费也没有因为靠近新加坡的关系而乱飙价,实属难得,所以推荐大家不妨试一试。
Obviously there were many patrons from Singapore, but San Low Seafood for my own experience is charge reasonably despite its proximity to the custom. So recommend fellow friends to try out :)

Tengah New Town 登加新城
以前晚餐后常会经过这建屋发展局展览大厅,就不时知道HDB 推出的新建房计划。
When I was staying in Toa Payoh, I used to pass by Singapore Housing Development Board (HDB) HQ gallery often after my dinner, and thus I get to know latest township development in Singapore.
搬离大巴窑就只能透过新闻了解新加坡最新城镇发展了。
So after moving out from Toa Payoh, @auleo only manage to know the latest township development via TV news.
前几年在马新边界大力打广告、 由中国开发商碧桂园建设的森林城市,不断主打“新加坡旁”, 其实我不大看好这计划,因为是全填海的人造岛, 且是在码头的出口。
Recent year, at the border between Malaysia and Singapore, there is this mega township named Forest City developed by Chinese company Country Garden. In their advertisement, they always stressed the point "next to Singapore", but to me, not so optimistic at this project first they are all built on artificial island and secondly it's just located next to a busy port- Tanjung Pelepas.
不过那波森林城市的大肆宣传的确是有威慑作用, 不久后新加坡也推类似的森林城市,@auleo觉得有点像港剧《 创世纪》里的无烟城,名字叫Tengah 登加,也是主打地面无交通工具的环保城。
But they did make a great effort in promoting this Forest City where you can see their advertisements everywhere. Not so long later, Singapore HDB then lauched the similar forest-city-concept new township, named after Tengah, which is also aim in car-free town.
Tengah 字面上马来语是正中、中间的意思,中文应该译为登雅会更好, 符合马来语的发音。登加Tengah 坐落于蔡港与裕廊间,其实不在新加坡正中,森林正中比较准确, 所以就符合了现代绿生活的要求。
Tengah in Malay language means "center", which pronounced as "Deng-Ngah", @auleo do have little comment on its chinese name translation. Tengah located between Chua ChuKang & Jurong, but not geographically center of Singapore. Its proximity to the forest nevertheless do fulfill the greenery lifestyle of modern day.
展览厅一旁还有榜鹅Punggol 的大蓝图,那是前一个建屋发展局大力发展的新市镇,@auleo 不常到那里,来新这么多年去哪里的次数一只手数的完,
There is another township showcase in the HDB gallery- Punggol Town, which is the previous township that was heavily promoted by HDB. @auleo not been there often and not familiar with the new town. And will not consider moving there as its location is just opposite the heavy & chemical industrial park in Johor Bahru.

榴莲季节飘香 Durian festival
来到7月份,被一位拥有果园的朋友在脸书上提醒了一会儿,那就是他家的榴莲也快推出市场了,让@auleo提前有了心理准备--榴莲季节到来了。(不过话说那位朋友的果园在接近吉隆坡的彭亨州,所以回吉隆坡可能可以安排一日游到朋友家乡吃榴莲)
前几天,新加坡新闻才报道,榴莲价格突然掉了下来,受采访的榴莲业者说马来西亚的榴莲供应大增,而且碰上世界杯,可能很多人连夜追球而已经虚火上升,而暂时不吃榴莲,以免进一步虚火旺盛。
那这榴莲价下降,对我们这种喜欢榴莲的伪球迷就真是好消息啦!好期望多一个月世界杯以便更多人追球
新闻报道,还有摊贩卖猫山王卖一粒新币2元,自己不断嘀咕是真是假哦?怎么那么便宜?
周末家人来新,去了附近的大巴窑市镇,果然果王的价格变得宜人(虽不至于低至新币2元一粒),果断立马要了一粒红虾皇(还是饭后呢,谁叫果王酱动人)。
自己也不怎么知道这些榴莲的品种是怎么区别的,但知道新加坡的榴莲很多都是马来西亚特运进来的,因为这里的新币汇率促使榴莲商倾向运往新加坡出售。(不过听说大马榴莲商正跟中国协商以获得全颗榴莲的准证,成事的话,榴莲价格就不会便宜了。。)
前天,@pizzapai有提到,她邻居告诉她一个秘密榴莲基地,是原住民所拥有的榴莲园,地点是在新马第二通道的附近,我们谈着谈着,突发奇想:“何不来个榴莲会友/外交?”,那就是住在新山或新加坡一带的史丁密网友Steemian,如果大家有空,不如办个榴莲园吃榴莲食饕大会?(当然不爱吃榴莲的朋友,也可以一同参与,就吃果后山竹如何?)
