I thank God for...

Just came back from our friends' wedding dinner. Both Melissa D and i were a little taken aback when we heard about both Max and Celine getting married so soon. But both of them were meant for each other, and we're happy for them.

Anyway, if i have to list down five things i could thank God for now, this would be it:

1. A fiancee who loves me for me, even though she can be unpredictable and wants to pinch me so darn often!

2. Money in my wallet.

3. A roof over my head and a sleep-able bed.

4. A job that brings in the money.

5. My family in KL.

I suppose if you can think of five good things in your life daily, life would be that tough, wouldn't it?


Another week is coming, and March will start soon. Have a great week, dear readers!


Love & Peace!~

Before sentencing others....

Looking at court proceedings, i don't think it's easy to judge people fairly, the operative word being 'fairly'.

It's best to hear both side of the story before making any conclusions.

But being emotional human beings, it's only natural to blame, jump to conclusions or even shoot blunt, hurtful remarks without getting one's facts right.

Attending court proceedings, i noticed that judges tend to repeat themselves over the same facts, again and again; being consistent with their facts gathered from both the defendant and the plaintiff/prosecutor. Even every now and then, there are judges who even offer good advise to those on trial.

I suppose to put it into daily application, it's best to gather any information about something or someone before stating your views.

Call it disconnected, but i call it an experiment.

After thinking it through, I've decided not to use my MSN messenger for awhile. As of late, i've not been active with it, not to mention that people rarely chat with me when there are at least 30 of them online at any given time.

Hence, i don't really see a reason in using MSN Messenger.

Even though i've not logged in a chat for awhile, but i'll leave it as it is for about six months or more, occasionally checking my email. But that does not mean i'm cutting ties with the people around me.

I'm still contactable via my mobile phone, email, facebook and this blog as well. Unless, of course, you only have my MSN and nothing else.

I think technology which is suppose to bridge people closer can also distant us. So, it's either absence makes the heart grow fonder; or out of sight, out of mind. Take your pick.

Back at work.

I'm now back at work on the island. All Chinese New Year-holiday mood was been sucked out of me, leaving me as a dead as a tombstone.

I'm drained to the bone, tired physically, mentally and emotionally. I feel void.

As i'm typing this, i'm still wondering if my trip down to KL this time around was worth it.

Well, from how i view it, i was great to have be with my family for the reunion dinner, as well as to meet my step-mom, as well as her family members. Of course, it was great to be able to meet some friends while i was there.

At the same time, while being in KL, some unfortunate things happened as well, including Melissa D getting a bad alcohol reaction, not being able to meet up with my buddies and other friends as well as damaging Melissa D's car.

I can only blame circumstances and the way i feel, and i did learn a few things being down there - including being more patient while trying to reverse a car and not making plans i cannot fully commit.

I can't say i was happy or regret coming down to KL. But since all these had happened, i can't turn back the past. Let bygones be bygones.

Anyway, looking at how things are, like my current family's situation, i'm losing reasons to come back to KL. I'm losing whatever memories of home which i once had. I don't feel belonged in KL anymore.

Again, i'm reminded that i'm 'one who is among them, but not one of them'.

"...Why should I care

Cause you weren't there

When I was scared

I was so alone

You, you need to listen

I'm startin to trip

I'm losing my grip

And I'm in this thing alone..."

The train is moving.

I'm trying to type this entry as soon as possible, as Melissa D is waiting for me.

As i'm sitting in McD on mainland, i'm glad i'm blogging in the comfort of an air-conditioned room. The heat nowadays is crazy. I suppose it's the dry spell which usually tag along with the festive season. And the sun is just as round as a Mandarin orange.

And there were too many Mandarin oranges spawning in my office in the island, to a point the population started to be complacent and rot, literally. I decided to do some charity by giving some oranges to the security guard. I wish i could, but i can't send it to friends overseas who wants them. If there're leftovers, i'll give them away lah. If i keep eating, i think i'll just gain weight.

Speaking of plus sizes, ladies, do visit this website: http://beautifull-boutique.blogspot.com/, This Beautifull Boutique, is owned by my friend, and if you're looking for good, fashionable dresses and blouses, do visit the site. After all, shopping online is the new pink! I hope my KL friend can do well in promoting her business.

And both my dear and i are on the way to KL now. And we're not going on a train!


HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

In remembrance of Raymond

It's been a week since Raymond passed away. My friend's fiance passed away recently after slipping into a coma, less than a month being engaged to her. Not to mention, both Cassandra and Raymond been in a courtship for almost a year or so, after being friends for many years.

Yes, as much as it sounds like a story from a soap opera, but this is true.

Apparently, before he fell into a coma, Cassandra told me he was had high fever, and at the end of last year, he just became comatose. To rub salt into the wound, he was admitted into the ICU with a breathing machine.

I can't imagine what Cass been through. It must have been traumatic and stressful. If it was Melissa there, i don't know what i'll do.

Rest In Peace Brother. And to Cass and family, be strong and have faith in God, that he is now in a better place, ok?

A need to revamp?

It's been more than a couple of years since i've changed the layout of this blog.

In the past, i had time to experiment with the layout, putting pictures and editting source codes to my skin of the blog.

But looking at it now, it seems like the entries are new, but the pictures and links on the sidebar are unmoved.

I'll try my best to change some images on the side bar, as well as update the links on them when i'm free.

Currently, i'm in a McD on mainland, typed my story and prepared to head back to the office soon. Met the recently formed independent party Parti Cinta Malaysia just now, and the Vice-president hit out at the state Chief Minister, and also said the party was not 'fishing' for other party's Member of Parliament.

With politicians and leaders hitting out at each other, i think the people will come out as the ultimate loser lah. *sigh*

Do politicians in the state (and country) need a revamp as well? Not only on the surface, but within the party as well?

Love & Peace!~
