Stunt

I almost missed my flight today. The first thing I did when I woke up was asked myself, "Why is the sky blue at this hour?" Immediately I looked at my phone and panicked when I saw the time... 7:00!!! My flight was at 10:10, and because it was a Monday, I knew the jam would be horrendous. My initial plan was to wake up at 5:00, iron my clothes and pack my stuff properly before following Darren out, and hitching the bus from KL Sentral at 8:00. I quickly called my usual cab driver, and luckily he was around the area and had no booking. I then grab whatever clothes I could, put them in a bag, took a 3 minute shower and left. Thank goodness that it was the start of semester break, so the jam wasn't that bad. Made it to the airport 1 hour before flight time.

Excerpt from today's reading:-

Here I am at the beach staring and

Wondering what lies across the horizon

With hopes and dreams of being the one

I silently pray every night

When will I see you again

You've been away for some time now

I remember the last time I saw you

You had a smile as bright as the sun

This feeling of miss I despise

Later going back to iron my clothes, they're all a mess! That's what happens when you do things last minute ;p To those driving back home, safe journey and may you have a good night's sleep today filled with wonderful dreams. Me @ Level 7 lobby, MBC

Relaxing Sunday

Underestimated the load at my bro's place. Thought we could move the stuff with one journey, but it ain't possible. So it looks like we've got to do another round on Thursday. Went jogging up the hill at Cemerlang Heights earlier - damn exhausted! Came up with a crazy idea, next month we're going to go stay at Genting on a weekend, take the cable car down to Gohtong Jaya, and jog back all the way up to the hotel again.

Decided to go for a foot massage in Wangsa Maju to pamper ourselves, after a hard day's work. It was okay, though I would have preferred a male masseuse as the strength would have been harder (I've got thick skin. LOL). On the other hand, Darren got a male masseuse and quite often, he was practically telling the masseuse to press a little lighter as it was painful. Anyway, 1-1/2 hour RM78, so quite reasonable. Will come back again next time.

Off for a day tomorrow, and back to work again on Tuesday...

Necessary?

Went to Jusco earlier to look for a portable air con, as the weather's been really hot lately and I practically sweat my shirt every night. They did not have stock, and it required 2 weeks for delivery, so I put the idea on hold. As I was walking around, I saw a mother and her kid. She was holding leash, and pulling on it, as the little boy followed. There were times when he was dragged as the mother was walking at her pace, and the kid was a little slow. Nowadays, kids are so hyper that it is difficult to keep up with them. Imagine yourself in a mall having to chase after your kid. And many accidents involving kids on the road have been prevented.  Personally, I am against it, as I believe that parents should be holding their kids' hand.

Excerpt:-

There's a war going on in my mind

One side fighting for you

The other fighting against you

The battle between love and hate

Look here, I'm telling you...

I believe we were meant to be

Though different, we're both the same

In love with each other but shy to admit

Waiting for either side to surrender

I raise my white flag

I give up to you

Telling you right now

That I am yours to be

Won't you please tell me so too

Need to go pack up Nick's stuff tomorrow.

Cook

It seemed like Monday yesterday, and now it is already Friday night?!?! Is it me or does time really fly by that fast? We had a cooking competition themed "Iron Chef" today, and 14 people participated. Well I didn't cook cause if I did, we'd probably have to declare Monday as a special holiday. Ha ha ha. But I am determined to learn! My brother left behind a lot of cooking utensils when he migrated, so I shall make good use of them by starting to learn how to cook (other stuff apart from maggie!) ;)

The light at the end of the tunnel is approaching, so got to work harder to accelerate towards it.

Excerpt from today's reading:-

Worst thing about being alone

Is there's no one to turn to

I prayed for someone to come

And in distance you appeared

Can't think of anything right now

This would is getting deeper

Piercing through my heart, eating up my soul

I need someone, someone to help me now

Calling SOS for my heart to live

Need an ounce of love

To revive this dying soul

Say the magic words, and I shall live again

Thought of watching MIB 3, but I'll probably watch it during the weekday next week. Have a great weekend folks, for those who are recovering, remember to follow your doctor's advice. Signing off @ home.

When I'm Alone I...

This was a question posed on the radio yesterday. So people tend to do things they wouldn't normally do when in public. What do you do when you're alone?

Excerpt from today's reading:-

These days have become tiring
The weaather is everchanging
My hands and legs are numb
And my heart beats no more

I saw you on the sidewalk
You gave my life by giving me love
The love that I have always hoped for
Has now disappeared with the wind

It has always been you who
Holds the keys that open the door
To my heart...

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage ~ Lao Tzu

Time to leave the office now... To folks who are driving, be careful on the road, to those who are walking, look both ways before crossing :) Signing off @ 18 WS 014

Timing & Execution

Left work on time today. Had dinner with Jason and was at his place - back to basics. As I go back through the learning, I realize that timing is important in most aspects, and execution is the one thing that determines whether or not it is successful. Reminds me of how I started off in my career at the current company I worked for. I was lucky to get in, but it was how I leveraged on my skills and also timing that got me to where I am today.

And I ask myself what was wrong with the timing and execution in that situation...

Excerpt from today's reading:-

The lights are off and it is dark
I can't see nor feel your presence
You left when I needed you most
My heart shattered and hurt deeply

I... can't understand
Why it has to be this way
When it was so good
It suddenly turned bad
Because I said, " love you"

Please don't go, stay here with me
You are the light of my life
And food for my soul
You are the one I call eternity.

Back home and just showered. Going to sign off now. Wishing everyone good health, especially for those who are not feeling well, may you recover swiftly, and shine bright again. Signing off @ home

It Feels Different

"A woman's loyalty is tested when her man has nothing... A man's loyalty is tested when he has everything..." read this on a friend's Facebook wall earlier, and I find it's true. Work was pretty slow today. Bro landed safe and sound in Sydney, and he'll be in Adelaide tomorrow. Though I don't normally see him every day, it does feel different knowing that he's no longer in Wangsa Maju, especially when I need to look for him for consultation. Well, no matter how advance our technology is today, I guess it can never substitute physical presence huh. And so it makes me think a little deeper...

Excerpt from today's reading

Today is a brand new day

Woke up early with hopes

Looked out my bedroom window

Hoping to catch a glance of

The sunshine next door

You stared back with a smile

Blowing a kiss of love and warmth

Catching it with my heart wide open

It's now spring time in my heart

Five years down the road

You're no longer here

I still stare out my bedroom window

I see you, I feel your presence

But you're no longer here

Back to watching Knight Rider. I wonder how things are getting on. Though the distance is near, it seems farther now than it was before. Sweet dreams everyone.
