I don't know what to name this blog entry...

Everytime I get a nudge to write, I'm in a bad mood. Probably explains why my blog is so mean and depressed. hAh.

Probably also beacuse pine for so much more in life, in others and in myself. Don't we all....

If someone even claims to have invented a time-machine, I'd be the first in line to jump into it.

For all those years I've taken for granted....i want them BAAACKK!!!!

You know, years where I didn't have to worry bout shit except to pass my exams. I only needed to worry about what to get for dinner that day, or which mall to scrawl over that weekend. Gone are the days where we used to use a rice cooker to cook mac & cheese for 5 in the pantry, stuffed ourselves silly with ribena, and ate porridge with super rings. (i can still do this but i don't have a rice cooker now). You would probably think it's gross but Jo & I would beg to differ.

Then there's the driving (illegal) lessons around college grounds, where you teach people to emergency brake before you even hit the bump, and go up the ramp to get into a parking. And it is also tantamount that there should be a line of spectators on the first floor while you are attempting to pass this lesson.

There is also the hogging-the-boys-basketball challenge in the evenings, in the playground, behind the hostels. And once we're done doing that (which takes about 5 minutes the most), we'll be talking crap on the swings with either one of us trying to fit into the kiddy's slide.

Fuck. This is making me even more depressed!

Oh how I wish I could just have ONE (1) night of good-with-no-worries-before-or-when-i-wake-up sleep.

Is it so hard to want to just be me?

No comprende

There are some things in life I just don't understand.

1. Let's talk warehouse sales. It starts at ten, you get up at 8 and you're at the queue at 9. You know you're not going to be the first....there are hundreds of others who are more willing to sacrifice their previous sleep just to be right in the font queue! And when you reach there, you were right. Well maybe you were a little bit earlier than the rest of the city, so the door will be just out of reach from where you're standing. The clock ticks closer to ten, the crowd gets bigger. You aren't paying any attention cause you're playing worms on your phone with your friend. Then you look up at the crowd, and suddenly, there's another line forming over on the other side of the entrance. Geez. You think "the ushers/whoever-you-call-them better let us in first if not I'm gonna screw them around!". Five to ten, you realise your comfort space has been invaded by the ten children (or so you thought & didn't notice) of the lady standing in front of you. Oh fine, what's the big deal, I'll still get in after her anyway. Clock strikes 10, no sign of door movement. People fidgeting around, sticking their legs out the queue, making stupid sounds. Oh wait, what was that....was that the door hinges opening?? YES! The next second........*WHAM!* Some idiot slams into you from behind. wtf????? You think that just because you push from the back it'll make me go faster??? I mean do you bang into the car in front of you when you see the lights turn greeen????????

perhaps i'm being hypocritical. moving on...

2. Door + walls + nowhere else to go = door is the only exit/entrance. HOW difficult is that to comprehend? Why do you have to stand in the doorway to catch up with someone you see EVERYDAY in the office? Go build your own doorway.

3. Scene A:
Miri
You're asleep, the sun's shining right in at your face - 6.59am
Get up, shower, dilly-dally around the house, finally get dressed for breakfast - 7.25am
Reach breakfast place - 7.30am
Finish breakfast, after a long chat, puff of ciggy, go circle around town - 7.59am
(Sigh, still so early)
Go back home, watch an episode of The Nanny, decides that it's just too boring to stay in. Grab the car keys, go out for a drive. Drives all the way out to the beach, take a walk, get bitten by sandflies (those vicious little things!) - 9.01am
Next stop to the mall, hunts for DVDs worth buying, reaches there, watches quarter of the Transformer movie, grabs a couple of stuff - 9.56am
(damn, it's no point)
Goes home, spends the whole day glued to Astro.....

Scene B:
KL
You're asleep, the sun's shining in on your face. That's when you know you're totally screwed - 10am
Tosses out of bed, brush teeth (no time to shower), run for the lifts - 10.30am
Get to the car, take off steering lock, put seat belts on, lock doors, turn on Hitz.fm, get out of the car park - 10.45am
Reaches nearest place to eat nasi lemak i.e. Village Park + look for parking - 11.24am
Finish breakfast....
You know what, I think you get the picture.

Dammit!

Trip across the SCS

I can't read my blog. It's unreadable. It's so BORING!

Maybe it's time for a change. Maybe I SHOULD blog about myself cause I'm so full of myself. Yeah, I think that's it.

Oh but wait, this IS all about me. wtf.

I just had a really long break, considering that I haven't had a holiday that long since my summer break three years ago. And attended a wedding. (plus a reason to go back to stuff myself with kueh chap & talap)

To Klaus & Elaine, congratulations on your wedding. Seriously, we didn't think you'd get married so soon, I mean you were the joker in school (so says your best man). Doubt you'll see this anyway unless out of my very generous heart I decide one day to make this blog public. Not that it isn't already now, its' just not known. oh well....but you guys look amazing together.

Things weren't the same this time when I went back. Grandma was gone, and so did our family's meeting place. There wasn't a place anywhere else, where we could just sit there and countless people would drop by and within a couple of days, you'd get to meet everyone without stepping out.

But everything else was the same. I got woken up on the first morning by the sun shining right into my face. No pillows or curtains on earth would've blocked that out. I woke up and checked the time...thinking it was like 11 already. But noooooooooooooooo.....it was 6.59 and i went WHAAAAAAAAAAaattttt!!!!!!! Tried to force myself back to sleep to no avail. But hey, I got to stuff myself silly, went up and down the city and did a million things and yet the clock wouldn't reach noon. It's awesome. Everything was awesome. The beach, the crab snacks, the people...omg, there were those I hadn't seen in YEARS. okay, not to exaggerate.....in a CENTURY! i'm serious. But yet I don't feel old cause they're all older than me!!! muaahhahhahahahhaha.

Oh, and I got Season 2 of 24...which I'm gonna watch for the third time. No, it didn't cost me a bomb. only a quarter of what I would have paid if I got them from Speedy.

Anywayssssssssss. As I have said countless times earlier, I do only blog when I have some very important stuff to do (at work). And yes, I am back at work, with the traffic, the exhaust fumes, the people banging into you when you're trying to get into the lift and all that crap.

Did I mention that I'm cut off from the outside world?

My office banned ALL two way communications through the internet.

Sigh.
