Lost...

As I search deeper within myself for answers, I find myself at a junction with a thousand paths to choose, but which one? I cannot deny that I am sometimes a slave to my emotions, it's called being human. But the unconscious side of me is starting to knock on my door saying, "WAKE UP Vernon!!! It is time." Time for what? I am starting to feel that I am lost... Lost within myself. Is this the path to freedom, or is it not? Is this life a dream, or is it reality?

Okay so I promised earlier that I would share the reason why I became a vegetarian and why I am I still one till this very day. This was over 2 years back. Back then, I was meat lover. I remember those days when me and my friends would visit Jogoya (a superb buffet joint in Starhill Shopping Mall, Kuala Lumpur) and eat like it was nobody's business. After dinner I would come out of the restaurant burping with joy:)

Then I met this person who changed my life completely. I was told a whole lot of history about this and that and in the beginning I became a vegetarian because I wanted that person to be happy. However, as time passed by, I felt it becoming a part of me and eventually I turned into a vegetarian by my own will. Some say, when the change comes from within, it'll be everlasting compared to it being forced upon, and I totally agree to that.

Okay, so enough with me for a while and here's today entertainment. We (Darren, myself, Shu Chaen, Shu Yan, Kun Liang, Kelvin, Jeremy and Johnson) went to Genting for Merdeka Day's celebration. We were hoping to take some great shots of fireworks display, however we were kind of on the wrong side of the view. Still, I reckon the shots were okay. We'll get better ones next time.

We came down about 5:00 AM and Darren and me sent Shu Chaen and Shu Yan back to their place in PJ. We went through hell trying to locate their residence. Ha ha ha. Asked for directions all over and eventually we found it after 1-1/2 hour(s). These are times when I am really tempted to buy a GPS (probably end of the year when I get my license and buy a car).

The change is more difficult that I expected... It takes a whole lot of time and patience + a strong focus. The mind is very powerful, and if taught correctly, it can achieve wonders. This is where I am heading. Being patient and embrace whatever that comes with an open heart + mind. Things will fall into place as they should be, and destiny will reveal itself.

So I started off my day by having breakfast with Darren and Angeline at a "Pan Mee" shop somewhere in Genting Klang. To my suprise, they had vegetarian food on their menu (by the way... I'm a carnivore turned herbivore... He he he... I'll tell you why in my next post) and it tasted great!

Later on, I adjourned to Zoo Negara as I wanted to spend some time with my friends disguised in a different form. I reached the zoo at about 12:45 PM and spent about 3 hours there before I went home. Here are some of the pictures I took...

I reached home about 5:00 PM and rested for a while. Later on, went for second round to the Curve with Mr Goh and Ms Tan again (since they didn't mind me being a light bulb??? ;p). It's been a while since I went out on a Saturday night, and there were so many people! We had dinner at a place called "Just Desert"... The food wasn't so great but I still enjoyed every bit of it:)

This was where we had dinner

After dinner we went on ahead to take some more pictures before heading over to Pets Safari (Sigh~~~The cats and dogs were already off duty when we went).

So that pretty much sums up my day. Time to do a little self reflection on today's events. I feel like there's just things in life that I can't control. I just can't... However what I can control is what these things mean to me and how I react towards them. Got to work at 1:00 PM tomorrow. Good night folks!
