The rotating world

Recently, someone told me she was getting depressed over her
relationship. Though from the outside, she seem happily married,
contented and joyful. Took her some courage to let others know all
those are just what was displayed for others to see. It's tough being
in a relationship and its even tougher keeping it up. It would burn
through most of your energy when your other half is just...simply not
as compatible as you have once thought.

I suppose all relationships start off with some spark and excitement,
but when the flame dies out...what happens? We can try to salvage
whatever there is and hope it would at least rekindle some of the old
desires...but when all else fails...what is there to do? Should we
continue to stay on and pretend we are OK, or should we call it short?
It's a tough decision...most people would just ignore and hope they
will just get use to the feeling and everything else would be fine by
then. Some would choose to take matters up and either call for it or
get some things done. Those that call it short would be labelled as
selfish, irresponsible, inconsiderate...and in today's society...i
guess many many more names will be thrown at you. And all the faults
and wrongs in this world would lay on the one that took the first
move. Why? Simply because you made the first move. Most of us would
not want to go through such decision and would just choose to let it
stay...hoping that on one of those fine days...you will still get some
coincidental spark...and on those days that not, you just simply get
through life on a flat-line scale. Nothing out of the norm should come
up and agitate you, which would in turn remind you of your current
ignorant state. What could be worse? Such feeling once kicked in,
would probably stay a couple more days till you can be fully ignorant
again. Rinse & repeat. And that's the entire lifetime for most of the
people. My take is simple...Live for yourself, dont waste your entire
lifetime living what you think others might have want you to.

Another place, another time

This morning, I shifted into my 4th room in my 3years over stay in this small island. This time around, i picked a place further from everything else. My criterias for a place does not stick to what it used to be anymore. I'm looking for a quieter place more than convenience now. I guess I'm getting really tired from the all the human traffic and the congestions. I need a breather...and hopefully this new place would be able to give some.

All in all, this place isn't anything fancy. Compared to my old room this one is alot lackluster...in many ways, the bed is just a simple thin alluminium framed setup, the matress is just a floppy foam. Even the curtains are clearly home-sewn with a cheap, glossy cloth...at least 3 times thinner than my both towel.

Though it's a lil more spacious...and more importantly, the people...for now, are alot nicer. In time, all those lil nice-to-haves...though might contribute to my overall feeling for this place...but will never break anything compared to things my ex weirdo landlord did.

So its done

My break has been almost used up now. To think just a week ago, i was still babbling about how to spend my time off. I guess time which have not been put into good use will expire anyhow. Though I've managed to get a few things done. Suprisingly withdrawing $ from our provident fund wasn't as tedious as i thought it might be. It's just the wait. For my case, at least it is still bearable. Slightly more than a week from the filling up of forms to going to the bank, wait for the bank to prepare the statement and submit it to the board. Now...i'll have to wait for another 10days or so for my cheque to arrive. Then i'll be a lil richer.

My days for the past one week has been quite long, waking up early in the morning...dozing off only close to dawn. Being at home is a good feeling. Breakfast, lunch and dinner without worries. It's a bliss. Having to do whatever and go wherever the heart pleases. I just wish the week would be longer.

Ohhh...and I hit 80 just this morning on WoW. And that mark's the end of all the tough leveling work. I wouldn't even wanna think on what's gonna happen next. *shivers*

Grats once again to the resto druid!

And so it begins!

Ms Sotong's wedding dinner was a blast last nite...it was like a mass gathering for all the Mandiri people. Was fun indeed having to see those old familiar faces that i once knew. Though the service was pretty bad, the food was pretty alright...the only annoyance was the 80 years old lady and her big birthday bash next door...so much for sharing venues...and MC...it was pretty messy but i guess we have all learnt to ignore the mc entirely after a few rounds of confusion. Have to remember not to hold any party when the venue is co-shared, especially if they dont have separate sound system.

Though i am trying very hard not to count, i cant help but to think my 2 weeks break will be over sooner than i thought. Today's my first 'official' day off and i have at another 14days ahead.

Traffic sucks back home. I have been out almost half a day running errands and all, i came back grumpy, cursing at the weather and at the car's air conditioning.
Wasn't pleasent day but at least i managed to get some stuff done.

Next, i gotta wait for a week for my documents to be ready by the bank. In between Now and Then...I still have not figure out what else i can do with my break apart from...well, if i can think of something better to do...i'd pass on WoW any given day. All I need now...is just some knocking on these lazy bones and perhaps a small dose of inspiration....

As the day draws near

Everything's happening so fast, i can hardly contain my excitement.
I'm finally moving out from this place after almost 1.5 years. On & off i have put up with my current landlord's weird behaviour and lack of respect on other's privacy. I'm finally seeing the end of things...at least...from him. I've got a new place somewhere further east and I'm really looking forward to a new start. A world where i can only just...imagine. And whatever image that i have in my head right now, is a pretty good one...one which i'm very much looking forward to.

That aside, I'm finally goin off for my long awaited break. TWO DAMN GOOD WEEKS of pure NOTHINGNESS! I can sleep as much as I want, eat whatever my heart desires or do whatever i like, whenever i feel like it for a full two weeks! Life's a bliss. And when it's time for me to come back and face with reality, at least i still have that image in my mind that i'm looking forward to. So its from now until whenever...there wasn't any single grey cloud in the distance! yahhhoooooooooooo!

The Beckoning

I didn't do it on purpose...so happen that i was there at the shop...and they had a copy right on the shelf...so i bought it. Just as simple as that. I ain't no addict.

Of Hate and Love

My passion for this game is like a life's journey. After hitting 70 on my latest toon, I've been spending my nights trying to get some reps with the many factions in the game. A tiring process which I've been through like twice now. And i'm still attempting it for a third. With WOTLK coming to stores tomorrow, when will redemption come...?

I was having dinner with someone earlier after work. Talking away casually and laughing at some stupid jokes...it was truly something enjoyable. Sometimes I think I can be pretty self-centered. I dont pay too much attention on what others might told me during a course of conversation. Perhaps, I have been told many things before...but this thing...that was coveyed over dinner just now, shouldnt be something which I should have played a deaf ear at. At least...not literally.

The friend has been having hearing problem since years before we knew each other and it was pretty certain that, a remark has been made to me before this. To my memory, I failed to register something as important as that. And I have been repeatedly annoyed by his lack of attention when I used to call him from his back. Usually he only listens to his ipod with the left earphone plugged in. So I naturally assumed the ignorance is an attempt to agitate me. Though I felt rather sorry and guilty over my lack of understanding to a friend, I cant help but to visualize how it is like being in those shoes. For years, I have taken for granted my life and what I'm capable of doing...I've never considered myself as...tampered. I can never understand how it's like growing up that way. To think of that...reminds me of someone from long ago...someone...i once knew, someone close and dear. I wish I could have done something for him back then...

Enraged!

It could have been a rather peaceful evening. A quiet dinner with friends to end a slow-paced day. But sometimes wishful thinking could lead to blood boiling situation.

I stayed back a lil from work today. Thought I could use the extra time to catch up some work which has been clogged up for a while. Who knows I ended up picking up someone else's problem. And best of all, when it was known that it wasn't my fault at all...some people would still dare joked about it and said it was my fault and that such things should be shared out. Burden must be shared and fault must be spread across! Yah right. What happen to the times when a credit was gained and it was all "I DID IT!" or "I MANAGED TO GET IT DONE! YAHHH!". What happen to "WE" back then? And now...out of the blue, WE are ONE?

Though it was meant to be a joke but i wasn't quite in the mood for such taste of humor. Not at 8plus in the evening and the reason I was staying back for being rendered useless. So once it was known the error was due to someone's incompetence. I left with a rather heated tummy and lungs. The hot air within needs to be unleashed. Thus, I vent it over dinner, on the phone to a few friends and now on my good old diary. And...i'm still not getting over it yet!

Dozing off in public

Imagine having to wait 2 hours for somebody to come out. I wonder how
much time does an average person spend in his or her lifetime just
waiting? I've been sitting at c&t close to an hour now. I should have
gone home and wow some earlier. My addiction is calling. I need my
dose of counter-sleep med. Or maybe another cuppa...

The lust for a World left behind

Just when I thought I'm finally getting over my past addiction, words came to me today that the new 3.0.2 version is finally out. Plenty of OP spells for my Arcane Mage! Awesome heals for my TOL Druid...and best of all, exotic pets for my BM Hunter! I'm still trying to hold it back...at least, till the new expansion...but the evil is drawing near...and my soul is weak.

A complete metaphor

Sometimes it's not easy to get your message through over some text chat. Things typed on one end would probably carry a complete different meaning when it arrives at the recipient's end. Especially if you and the recipient are of different 'native'. Sometimes I find it hard to get my thoughts across to people who's been brought up differently. Going to different schools, growing up with different crowds. It's not about good or bad, but it's just of ...a different wave-length. The chemistry between humans are sometimes...indefinite.

I have been feeling rather weird-out as of late. The more i get such a feeling the more agitated I become. The more I feel like breaking the bonds and ripping my way out of the skin that tightens around my face. Blocking the air...making me breathless. Sometimes the actions of another, though unintentional...may brought unwanted effects unto others.

I find it hard to explain, so I gave it a metaphor:

"Like...you were walking pass a street...suddenly an accident happen...and a car's tyre flew out and hit u in the face. Although u were just passing by, ...you died without knowing what hit u."

...i'm not sure how much it meant at the other side of the chat window, but that's precisely how i felt at that very moment. Perhaps I have exaggerated a little, but i do believe it's not entirely nothing. Time to draw an escape card.

Rise and Burn!

It has been a while since I've done anything I'd consider radical. When the idea came up a couple of days back, I have been silently waiting for this moment...

Today, I got up at 5 in the morning. I barely even sleep much last night, part of the reason being I was afraid I might have overslept. So it was a pretty much toss-and-turn sorta night for me. Not having to mention the nights have have been pretty warm since the past few days. And being me, I was still pretty much afraid to turn on the air condition too much. Having to avoid the ramblings of my landlord. But that is a different story entirely. Nevertheless, I got up at 5, took my shower...sync some songs to my phone and hurried myself out of the door. By 535am, I was already out in the dark, waiting for an early cabby. The cabby - an old chinese man...playing some chinese classic from the 60s or so, picked me up. 15mins later, the McD by the park loomed into view.

I saw another cab pulled in just right in front of me when i was paying my driver. When i saw the back of the passenger in the other cab, I quickly got down from mine and skipped into McD as fast as I could...hoping he didn't notice, so that I could pretend I was there much earlier than just seconds before him. And it worked as expected. And there goes...a head start right from the first thing in the morning. The pleasure is all for the winner.

After some lazy stretches and short warm up...we started trotting slowly towards the left side. The whole stretch was still pretty dark, only illuminated by some rather dim street lights. The campers were already up and chatting, some were still soundly asleep on the their thin sheet right there in the open. There were already some early folks, jogging and sweating away as if the day can no longer wait. It was still dark at 6am. I started slowly at first, picking up my pace as i went...I wasn't sure how long or how far I have covered but I don't think I've done as much as I wished I could have. I was panting pretty badly after about 30mins. So I stood by the pier, watching some fishers do their thing. The sky was already giving up some shades of pink and orange by that time...so i decided to wait for the sun to rise and called off the rest of the jog journey. And i'm still pretty glad i did.







After the sunrise, it was breakfast at the beans. Still, by the time we were done with breakfast...it was only 11am or so...and that's after an hour or so of chitty chats. I guess it wasn't just me who hadn't had enough. The sun was shining. The weather was perfect. I don't get out so often these days to such splendid weather. It was too hard to let go. So we rented bikes and make another round. Only this time, it's less tiring...and much more scenic.





...and they say, all's well...ends well. My trophy for the day.

A whole new world

Just when i thought i had probably tapped all the excitement on my new iphone3g when i stumbled upon the iTunes Store in the US. Previously, my iTunes Store was just dull. Loaded with just a bunch of Web Apps. I've tried almost all the useful+free ones. I began to wonder why is there a Video and Tv Shows library list in my iTunes. And I dont seem to have a way to fill them. There must be something else beyond these mundane Apps. I brought up Google...and a whole new world looms in.

I was directed to the iTunes Store US (prev, mine was somehow set to my locality). Here I can download podcasts, not just a few audio ones which i have subscribed to previously, but videos! and some even in HD! oohhhh ohhhh...and they are on PodCast too!!! I can even download TV Series and stuff, though they mainly would cost a small fee. But well, there are still alot more stuff to look at...guess I'm gonna be busy for a while. Call me ignorant or whatever, this 'discovery' got me all excited with my apple again... though to some, this may already be something apparent...

推翻 - 王菲

This MV's been playing the whole night. Kinda miss those songs of hers...back in the 90s when i was alot younger, i would eagerly rush to those music stores to get her cassettes whenever she releases a new album. Usually it would cost about 10.90 and i would have to bear the pain for a week or so. Listening to the new songs playing back on my walkman, flipping from Side A to B, then back again; repeatedly...i never know the word piracy....
...
...
10plus years after...i'm downloading a 3GB over file, comprises of all her songs...complete from her very first album all the way to her last....eagerly awaiting, to load everything into my ipod.

Round & Round

It felt like yesterday or was it the day before...I guess days have not meant much lately. It's the sequence that counts now. It's Friday again tomorrow. A week has gone by unnoticed and i've barely achieved anything of any significance. Not that i'm complaining over the norm...just something i would like to remind myself about from time to time.

It's the F1 weekend. The entire world i'm in has been talking about it since May or so. Those without tickets, those who have bought the cheapest walk-the-road, and those who were in some fancy clubs that could grant them a classy seating complete with food and wine. And also cost about 7,500 dollars for a 3-day view. Imagine the amount of energy, effort and money poured in just for a 3-day theme event...while the other half of the world starved, went bankrupt in crisis or just patiently awaiting the coming of a new disaster. The world...THIS world...is an interesting place to live.

With my WoW suspended since last week, I'm beginning to live the life I've left behind some time ago. Though i managed to get Spore last week, it's never quite the same anymore. I'd rather spend my nights writing nonsense or reading news, or even have a few laughs over chats. I'm no longer a swift resto druid or a powerful arcane mage. I'm just the plain old me...no powers; plenty of boring nights to come. Guess i'm gonna have to grit my teeth and bear with it. Or least, hold on till I find a new purpose.

My new creature stage

My latest baby

Meet iSIS. Hathor II's next in kin. My SE K800i replacement. After spending 21 months with my now retired phone, I am replacing it with my first smart phone - the all hypes: Apple iPhone3G. Weighing at $348, the price is not entirely that bad. With a $100 voucher to offset (courtesy from a kind colleague of mine). The price came down to just $238...and if it's not already worthwhile...the $238, i can charge that to my Flexi$ fund from work. Thus, making this new toy of mine ENTIRELY FREEEEEEEE.

An evening with Sau Heng

It's been ages since I've been to any old folks home. Today i manage to secure some time after my 2-hour at work. It's mid autumn tomorrow and a charity organization over here had organized an event to celebrate the occasion with the old.

I was a last minute addition to their 40 over individuals, so i can't be in any predesignated team. The only team they can't find enough people on is the team to engage the old folks. Talk, to be precise. Just my kinda thing.

We arrived at about 6 in the evening. Could have been sooner, but i was late. Was feeling rather bad to have made the whole bus waited. But anyhow, they were very forgiving. I got assigned to my team on the way, they gave me a green vest with a white sticker on my left pocket, so that they will be able to recognize me from far. I was feeling rather excited already, though i was still trying to hold back the cold sweat and fever.

We were given about 10mins each to head upstairs and get our counterpart for the evening. Grab anyone they said, anyone who doesn't have a partner. Though i was feeling rather shy at first, i went on to the 2nd floor...found no one...the beds were empty. I went up to the 3rd, nothing too. When i was about to turn and head down, i saw her coming out from the toilet. That's my lady for the evening. I went on to talk to her, she seems rather warm...though very old. 82, i found out later.
I was throwing my teochew and hokkien at her...hoping she would speak any of the more common dialects...to my dismay, she could speak both. But after a few verses she told me she's Canto, i was laughing when she mentioned that...i could have stick to the default. So it's Cantonese all the way.

I spent about 3 hours or so talking to her, getting to know her...getting her to be involved in the activities and trying to convince her to go for the lantern walk. But she's suffering from some aches in the foot, so instead of going for the walk, we spent the additional time talking. I kinda like her, she looks a lot like my own grandma. She's been with the home for about 6 years now, she said there used to be quite a number of them but a lot has perish through time...it's sad to see your old friends leaving. I can see tears welling up in her eyes. I can't possibly imagine how it's like but i do feel for her lost. I suppose it's not something easy to deal with.

At about 9, my fever got worse...sweat was pouring out from my forehead and i know i couldn't stay any longer. I didn't manage to bid her farewell, at that time the crowd has moved in for some prayer session. I had to leave quietly through the back. I'm just hoping she would still be around when i get back next month.

Sucking it in...

Temptations...One of the very few things that i must learn to muster...to control and to overcome. One of which I have been failing miserably.
Someone asked me today, 'How long has it been since you last did it?' ...I can't recall. He was right. I need something really soon...and really bad. But luck betrayed me today, and i had to hold it in for a couple more days. Ergghh...the agony.

The runny days

Whenever the weather turns bad, i'm sure to get some hard time adjusting. Mostly i will see myself falling victim to the unforgiving virus. This is probably my 5th or 6th time of the year and I'm beginning to wonder why i've grown so vulnerable. It's probably due to the cumulative days of my past traveling jobs or it could be just the plain old age-catching-up-thing. Either way, I'm just hoping i would survive to see the next full moon.

Though i had the chance to screw work today, I decided not to abuse it. I had no where to go. My apartment's still in a mess from the renovation work (god knows when it's gonna end). This whole thing has left a dent in my already hollowed shell. Ohhh...and i might have to live with recycle underwear soon. Nice.

It's D&D tomorrow night. Some are already all prepped up, others like me...are contemplating to pull out at the very last minute. After last year's event, frankly...i'm not too keen to attend this round. Among other things, a trip for 2 to HK is not exactly what I would call a GRAND PRIZE draw. They better have something more this year or I'm sure gonna pass the next. That is...if i am still lingering.

A brother's grudge

It's been a while since I had any good chat with my dear old bro. He came over since two weeks back and I've met him for dinner on several occasions. Twice we ended up drinking at some pubs till way after midnight. Tonight we just did Starbucks.

The fact that he's carrying more flesh these days does not surprise me. Most of the mid-ages people i know(with the exception of an unfortunate few), gain weight as they climb up the mortality line. The flames within him has died somewhat. The fire that used to burn behind those heavy brown eyes is no longer there. Extinguished. All i see now is just a pair of tired, weary eyes. Old, not to mention. Even his obnoxious and snobbish personality left him. Just when I thought I can really start to like him now, i came to realize that he's no longer himself. I think I might need some time to start getting to know him again. They said people change...and i'm surprised of how much some people CAN change.

The old flat and thing

My short weeks of playing migrant came to an end sooner than i thought. Seems like it's only yesterday that i had shifted out...today, i'm back with some small changes visible to my room. The window's been replaced with dull black panes and it's much smaller in size now too. The landlord removed some 'worthless' accessories like the paintings he used to placed on the floor and some figurines of not my taste. Good thing is, the room seems alot spacious now. They installed a new lift too, which is much faster and now stops on every floor. Too bad i'm on the 9th, the highest it would go up to...is 8th. In short, old lift or new...makes not much of a difference to me.

Old thing officially left the country on Sunday morning. Gone back home for a supposedly 1 month project. We all doubt it's gonna be a month...but nevertheless, we are hoping the best for her. Though I'm gonna miss having her babbling and rantings during lunch/dinner or so...it's one thing we all have to learn to live with. On the other hand, new guy has become not-so-new anymore, due to the fact that he has been eating into our lives so much. His bitter cold jokes and oh-so-adoring lil gestures can be pretty amusing sometimes...though mostly, it's him doing himself.

Lately, i seem to have drifted into another abyss. Occasionally i would get drifted away, but i always manage to get back. This time...it's taking alot longer and i'm not sure if i'd ever gonna get out anymore. Who knows if i might just live my entire life 'wandering'. I need something new to focus at. It's my first anniversary at work just 5 days back...though that felt like just yesterday, i'm already hungry for something new. Life without certainty can be quite scary sometimes.

The Fried Chicken, The Rice and The Teh Botol

My weekend to Batam was very much out of my expectations.
Most of the reason would mainly due to me being encaged at this place for too long. Living on a small, crowded island does not do good after a while.

I haven't been quite myself for a long time. Too much time spent hiding in my small room, just wow-ing the days and nights away. I can't remember when was the last time i even thought of anything else apart from just wow. Work has gotten mundane, life has not been any colourful either. Gym membership has gotten rusty. Everything around me seems to have fallen to a state of lesser priority, everything except for my virtual self.

Batam wasn't that bad of a place. Not quite as bad as what i'd imagined it to be. Though it's alot lesser than Jakarta, but the people and stuff made me feel 'comfortable'. As if those days in Indonesia have returned...but only for a day. The lunch at KFC, where we were all busy stuffing our mouths with fried chicken, white rice and perdekel (i almost forgot they have this in the menu) and the dinner; nasi goreng complete with Teh Botol. Like a life lost from so long ago, the sense of familiarity and all made me feel at ease. And i'm still contemplating such sensation up till today.

Enjoy aje!

Trainers

I've been looking for a pair of running shoes for a while. Probably about 3 weeks or so. Going around malls and sports shops, trying on shoes; shrugging and leaving. I was starting to feel a lil frustrated with myself for being such a pick.

With the GSS just started last week, I was pretty determined...if i were to get any shoes...i might as well get it during this period. And i did went to a couple of more shops today...generally looking at my preferred brand...but still nothing.

Till i hit this 'cheapy looking store', a quote courtesy from M; thats where i found my trainers. Priced at $79.90. What more can one ask for...though it's not what i would usually buy...but according to M and a fellow 'runner' friend of mine; they make really good running shoes. So i guess it's no harm trying...and it feels rather comfy too.



Ohhh...i guess i should also mentioned that we hit the steamboat buffet at Suntec right after getting those trainers. I really have to put those shoes into good use real soon. Tonight...i just have to play one more night of...'hugging the tummy to sleep' >.<

Gone Berserk

It's been a while since i've done anything like this. Usually we all live in a world which we would hold on tight to; govern by our own disciplines and principles which we would hold dearly as life itself...but at times, i think some of us might let loose. Throwing away all those in-checks and do what you would not do normally and try blend in with the people around you and sometimes...it can be quite refreshing...

I was planning for a rather quiet evening. I managed to get off my training class at 5. Got home at 5:30pm. Thought i'd skip dinner and enjoy a quiet night in. But i guess i've been laying low for a while now, and when presented with a chance to do the irregular...i would jump at it immediately. The thought of having a skewer of cheese toufu at the Food Fest wasn't that bad. Someone brought it up...it was tempting...besides its only a once-a-year event. Since i've been on 'break mode' the whole of this week...i suppose i can do with leaving the comfort of my small room twice in a day.

When i got to Expo, the crowd was rather bearable...i was expecting alot more people but i guess due to the rain and it's a working day after all...not alot would be coming out for the final day of the event. I followed the TWO around for a while, they would stop at almost every stall, pushing in to grab toothpicks or small lil cups and greedily down them as if they have been starved for a long while. I was able to keep my cool for a while, after that...the TWO became THREE.

We went from stalls to stalls grabbing lil bits of food stuff and drinks; downing them and move on to the next. I was doing pretty good till i hit Ramli Burger. Then i lost it. The TWO surpases me from there. Making their rounds at the fish balls and chicken balls stall...they were unstoppable. It was about closing time, we managed to grab some cheap offers before we call it. That was probably because we were carrying so much; no just in the belly but in the hands too. I managed to grab some stuff myself. Some Pokkas for 1 dollar each and some VICOs for my lazy weekend mornings. Four and a half for a dozen...what a deal!!! I guess it could last me for a while.

Now i'm just feeling rather thirsty and sleepy...guess i'll grab a Pokka and hug my tummy to sleep.

Hopeful for a change

I hope i'll be able to keep up with the saying:

A narrow escape!

I've got to know from a friend that my old club has just close down their fitness cum yoga center. Lucky me! To think that they are still trying to con and persuade me into signing up additional 2 years with them late December last year. Bloodsuckers!!! If i have fallen victim to their trick again, i would have been cursing them all over again and this time, i would have paid 2 years membership fee in advanced too. But i've had my share of nightmares trying to book for a class or having to cramp into a hot room close to about 50 sweating individuals. Why do i even bother back then?!

And so i told them No last December, and i've never felt better ever since. Now that i got to know they actually closed down the one center that they have promised me with full access to their facilities, i felt even more relieved. Just kinda pity those who have signed up recently. Though i've put on some extra pounds after, the guilt wont be as great as having to throw few thousands into a membership which i wont be able to make use of.

...with all that said, if things turn out well...i'm gonna sign up for my new club come this Sunday. I woke up this morning feeling all stiffed in the joints. I gotta get something moving. So hopefully this would be a good start to a healthier body and mind...and not to mention; growing old...in a more graceful way :P

1st of May

Its first of May again. Everytime this year, i would feel somewhat different. I dont know how to explain, it wasn't something bad nor good. Just feeling rather...'different', thats all.

I woke up to the sound of some construction workers downstairs. They have been drilling and digging part of the road for a while now. It's rather usual here, UPGRADING they call it. I hate it. Soon they are gonna tear down part of my shower room to make room for a small store. When that time comes, I'm not sure where if i am gonna have to share the shower room with my landlord >.<. I can't...and wouldn't want to start imagine.

The weather is pretty hot again, like the days before. The journey to work though only took 15mins...feels longer today. Got myself a value meal from McD, and i've been really working...up till now. Its close 4pm, i feel like going home...switch my computer on, and start wow-ing or just do whatever. Just not work. Reality sucks. I had to press on after this. A mental bargain i have traded with myself for leaving early last night.

Jouis just made a 'passing by' again. He and 'small ming' are both buddies. Working late everyday and on most of the holidays/weekends. Today, 'small ming' seems to be missing. Perhaps he has found a life at last. I wish poor Jouis would too.

Life begins at 30

The train adventure was pretty awesome. Perhaps i have not been expecting high flying waves of emotions after what so much i've heard. It was a good experience though i might not be feeling like taking such an adventure again anytime soon.

Just got home. All tired and at a loss but still...im trying to find some energy to blog some. After all, it's my 30th birthday today. May sound a little pathetic but still...
... Here's wishing myself - All the best for the years ahead, and may life never be dull.
Happy Birthday. :)

One way ticket

From my last adventure of air, land and foot...which i have not...and probably wont blog about. I'm embarking on another one tonite. This time, i'm taking the choo choo...

Though I've caused some mouth gaping reactions when they heard I bought the train ticket to head home and describing the 9 hours trip as a would be nightmare... i am hoping it would be some sort of an adventure. I've also heard some description about the sleeper's deck and how cozy it might be, with the little night light by the side...and i have in my mind; a picture...one that would probably tie to those movies like Harry Potter or some sort...despite the fact that this is KTMB and not the Hogwarts Express...still...i hope it wont run far from that.

Keeping my fingers crossed...

Life would be so dull without some small anticipations ;)

The blog must go on...

The days have been rolling past me and i've yet to receive any new shred of urge to start blogging again. I could have waited forever i suppose. With 2.4 on World of Warcraft recently released, my passion which has not wane much since day one has just been intensified 10x or more instead. And i barely even have time for Crisis Core - the sole reason why i got my PSP for in the first place. I suppose i should start setting priorities. And if i were to do it over these things, some may disagree that i'm setting all the wrong ones. With my turning over to a digit-3 two weeks from now, i should probably start thinking on a much bigger scale...of things i want to achieve in life. Much BIGGER things and not just any stupid online or console game. >.<
I mean logically, thats how it should sound or the world would see it...but hey, if i can indulge myself in such things and still find some joy in it...reality can always wait a little bit longer...

Tonight's menu

I've lost the count on this. Just got back to work last week and i've spent like 80% of my nights on events such as this. The only reason for having dinner these days are usually bound to the new year. Luckily its coming to an end, time to tie my stomach till end of month.

Melee

It's been a while since i've had a song which i would play repeatedly, here's the latest.
