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...
