There hasn't been a day that does not rain lately. Almost every morning...noon or after work, it would pour if not drizzle. I have my umbrella with me in my bag now. And everyday I seem to be able to make use of the weight i have to carry with me.
Last weekend, I was back home again. I was back home the week before...I guess one of the good thing about being here is this- being able to go home whenever u want, whenever u feel like it. I suppose I have mentioned this before some time ago.
It's the school holiday now...can hardly get a ticket to go home last week. I managed to get a one way trip back...but for the return, I need to go a long way to another place, foreign to me...and bought myself a 55dollars ticket. Yes, it is for a single trip. And who would have thought in the end, i didnt get to utilize this 'NICE++' bus ticket...instead, i ended up paying an extra RM35 for another (that comes with a complimentary-3 bars of soap)...and an 8 hours long journey...from my home to here. It was a horrible experience which I promised myself not repeat in this life.
An old acquaintance came over last nite. Haven't seen him for years since I left my ex-ex-ex company. People change overtime...some to good...some worse. In his case, I suppose if its for me to judge, i'd say its the 'worst' i've seen so far. Extremely sensitive, offensive (and defensive), obnoxious, arrogant, vulgar and everything bad imaginable. Words just cant describe him more. But all these things; I suppose I should somehow feel LUCKY in a way, he did not impose on me. But to some other friends of mine which I've known for ages. Sitting in front of me over dinner, he's still able to draw a decent smile and continue in a decent conversation...though partially maybe because i'm being cautious and selective with my words most of the time. Anyhow, I was rather strucked by these drastic changes in him...perhaps something might have happened...that brought him to who he is now. Sighs. Life is truely amazing...every twist of fate makes a new turn for an unimaginable surprise.

It rained a lot here too..
wow.. lucky my ex-colleagues are nice people! :D
Jakarta has been also raining for some days, last week but since last saturday, the weather's unbelievable hot.
I don't believe people can changed 100%, at some point, their basic characther might always pop up when they are in a bad situation.
