What's cooking??

Friday Post

It's going to be a long Friday night. The clock strikes
12, signifying a new day. Saturday. The mood appears to be random, after a long haul of a week. Tireness. Lethargy. The feelings are no longer there to accompany me. These buggers had been lingering for the past 6 months, and all that is left is just a tingling sense of numbness. A part of me urge to ride on the surge wave of excitement, rising high, before going down again. There's always ups and downs in life. And I can say I'm staying quite flat down for some time. I start to wonder if it is just a matter of time before I get myself up or, I'll just stay down low. Afterall, what matters most is not how many times you've fallen, but it is how many times you've risen up. The sudden sense of drowsiness fades my visions, and I could be lost in time and space. And somehow, it all came back to me now, at least for a moment. If only I could grab this moment and make it stay, I could only be recovering from this 'shock'. As usual, only time will tell.

Sometimes, the deprivation of love could make you
feel lonely. It's not just about a boy-girl puppy love, but rather as a whole. Friendship, family, and anything you could think of. Maybe it's this deprivation that had made me lose my cause in the first place afterall. The friends are all so far, I've been neglecting my parents much due to studies, and, I think I'd almost forgot how does a warm cozy hug feels like, or how the lips of another human being taste like. The moments when we had to run for cover under the rain, the fireworks on Valentine's day, etc. Each 'love' relationship always has its own romantic moments. However, after a year being a 'vegetarian', you just tend to remain so under the name of HABIT. It's just so hard to accept another someone into your life, that is. Or maybe the special someone has not appear, or maybe it has always been there without me realizing it.

I'd been watching, and the Law of Attraction has always
work its way amongst us. A relationship can basically be divided into 3 phases, approximately 6 months each. The first 6 months had always been fresh love, being the intimate phase. The couple could be glued together by an invisible force of attraction so great that I doubt a Tsunami could break them up. Every month 'anniversary', all the places they go, everything will be charted in the Book of Death. The next phase gradually appears as it becomes a... relationship phase. The intimate part has faded long before they realise it, and all they have is basically... a relationship. It is something that holds them together. The attractive force is somehow balanced by the repulsive force of a similar amount, holding true to Newton's 3rd Law, which is, for every force exerted by an object, there is an opposite force of the same magnitude acting on the object. This will lead to the next phase, which become the annoying stage. Arguments arise, cold war starts, and any possible catastrophy, you name it, you got it. The fact that both had been together for so long had cause annoyance, at least for 1 side, at least when they have been too close together. Of course, if both hadn't been together for so often, for example, due to long distance relationship, it will slow down all the phases because the 'contact time' is lesser. However, most of the time, those extremely long distance relationships (inter-country) cause 'slowness' which made the relationship to cease to exist. It become stagnant. So, either way, the last phase is the first major test of a couple. Compatibility strikes in as we don't live with people we can't live without, but we live with people who we can live with. The repulsive force is so strong that only the compatibility attraction force could pull them back. And that will be the final decisive state. And for sure, there are variation in the time course due to many factors. The closer both are to each other, the process could be accelerated. This is just an example afterall.

By now, I'd read Wai Sun's (aka Jack) blog. It's sometimes
quite true about what he'd said. We are not just attracted to the beauty on the first impression. Sometimes, it's just a moment of beauty you see on someone else, be it a day, an hour, a minute, a milisecond,or a nanosecond, expecially when that someone smiles. That will stay in your mind and leave a mark so great that you wouldn't notice until your heart starts to race. *wink* So guys or girls, smile more often. You'll never know who will be charmed by your smile!

I've been gaining some heavy weight lately. The scale
tipped slightly over 79kg. So, I'd made a resolution to control my weight and to turn the extra few pounds to muscle mass. Been jogging on alternate days since last week, and it is starting to show its effects. It improves my endurance, and my cardiorespiratory system has up side as well. The days in between are used for stretching, push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and a few more exercises, but so far, there's no obvious progress yet. Guess I'll have to work harder for another 3 months at least. Consistency will persevere afterall. Let's just hope I'll be able to make through it. X'D

It's now 1am. It takes me quite some time to type
this, and I'm ready to doze off. Watched Fantastic Four this evening with Wai Sun. 2 guys, no girls..haha.. And Daytona, Basketball and Time Crisis 4 was the starter at Times Square. Guess I'll need to relax and take life easy. Afterall, it takes a man to admit his own mistakes and limitations. Good night.

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity.

He who desires but act not breeds pestilence.

A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.

Eternity is in love with the production of time.

The busy bee has no time for sorrow.

The hours of folly are measured by the hours of clock, but of wisdom no clock can measure.

No birds soar too high if he soars with his own wings.

If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise.

Folly is the cloak of knavery.

Shame is Pride's cloak.

Ocean 26

Well, well. It's been some time since I last came here.
Last week was basically working week, except for Friday. work is not for the intelligent, it's for the diligent. -.-"
Souled Out
Peeking out of the window when it all gets too bored
Friday was the day I took the chance to return the hostel keys
which I had been keeping for the past 6 months without using it. Of course, took my results as well since I'm already that near to the campus. And of course, got people belanja me cos of betting on my results. Thanks, Jean.. Anyway, we watched Ocean 13 with her.. erhem... ask her yourself if you want to know. Basically I'd been a lightbulb though. n_n" Sorry sorry. And I forgot to take their pics. Awwwhh, man... I'll give the show 4 stars, but beware, because not many will like the show. It takes some brain juice, and since some people don't have them, they will criticise it, just like those review articles in The Star. Let's just say those writers lack the intelligence level needed to comprehend the show. X'D

The next day, nothing much happened. It was around
5pm when Wai Sun called and organised a last minute movie trip to 1 Utama. He said it's gonna be the '200 pounds' show. So, 15 minutes is all I had to get ready. Once in the car, they say that they are going to watch Shrek 3!! Of course, Flora protested. I couldn't protest because we are conned into the car and there's no escape for us. Besides, I'd only watch it in my PC, not the big screen, and it's been like, 2 weeks back. I wouldn't and couldn't mind. But, (there's always a but) guess what? They said that Shrek 3 had been sold out. Elizabeth who was there got us the message, and they unanimously agree to watch Ocean 13. Awhhh, man... That is so uncool. It's been bad enough for me to watch a movie twice. And I had to do it in 2 consecutive days? This is a double firsts. Swt... Luckily, the show was somehow meant for watching it twice. The part that I might be able to get it the first time, I got it the 2nd time. It's not that bad afterall. Phew...

Then we had dinner in a Japanese restaurant opposite
Secret Recipe. Nothing could satisfy their hunger, so we went SS2 for desserts, since it's the nearest. The best part was the reading problems we had. Since none of us (Me, Wai Sun, Flora, Elizabeth, Boon Tat and Kah Weng) are from Chinese educated background, we had fun poking each other. The award, of course, goes to Boon Tat, who was poking at the "Hong Zhou" (Red dates) and told the waitress that he wanted Longan. At first, only Wai Sun laugh while the rest tried to sympathise him by offering our grins. He then spoke in a funny tone telling other people not to laugh at him cos he doesn't know Chinese. And that was the last straw. All of us broke into laughter, including the young girl waitress. I guess that shows how important basic Chinese is in ordering food. At least I won't die of starvation. X'D

Back home, I still couldn't believe that I'd watched Ocean 13 twice. This is a lesson to be learnt. Looking at the bright side, I get to look at Brad Pitt twice. n_n"

101st Post - Not so special post

The old clock strikes 12. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The
clock kept moving, ignoring the reluctance of mankind. That's life. Nothing stops for the Past. All we have is the Present. And what we are striving for, is the Future. They are just separate entities intertwined by destiny. Nothing can stop the Present from being the Past, nor the Future from being in the Present. And yet, the Past is unkind. What is past remains so. And nothing we could do to change it. So, all we can do is to put the Past in our hearts as we trace the path of Future. Life is afterall, looking forward, not behind.

Alas, it's been exactly a year now. It could be a miracle.
It could be a sense of satisfaction. For who could dwelve into my thoughts other than myself? I'm just glad that I'd kept my promise. Maybe some readers wonder what is this all about, but let it remain just what it is to you. Mystery. That is what that attracts afterall. It lets you wonder, it lets you dream, it lets you imagine. The tingling sense of uncertainty is what that gives us the thrill in life. Ain't it so?

Finally, I'm glad to be here. Still here. After all these
while, slogging wasn't my favorite past time. Though it's just the beginning, I've at least settled into the surrounding. I've accepted my limitations. I acknowledge them. But it will not stop me from improving. I've told many people to break their limits. Perhaps it's time for me to do it myself. Without such test of faith, I won't realise that I've grown. The man I'd aspire to be is still far away, but at least, I am one step closer. The brewing conflict in the heart for the last month had calmed down. And I'm no longer sick. I'm just a man. A man who do not need to peek in the pants every morning to assure himself that he is a man afterall. I just know I am one.

100th Post -Special Edition

Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts

I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[ Chorus: ]
Every long lost dream
Lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

I think about the years I spent
just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost
and give it back to you
but you just smile and take my hand
You been there, you understand
It's all part of a grander plan
that is coming true.

[ Chorus ]

Now I'm just rolling home
into my lovers arms
this much i know is true
that God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you
That god blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you

Special thanks to the contributors to this meaningful song, including those who had introduced it to me. You know who you are. Thanks.

To be frank, this is my 100th post in this blog. Special thanks to all fellow bloggers and non-bloggers who are here with me reading this blog. When I started this, I'd never thought I'd reach the 100 mark. And now, seeing is believing. Thanks again, and enjoy the song.

First Day!!!

Let me start off with a low note today. It's been a week off here,
and of course, nothing much can happen in a week. I've toyed around Yahoo! Answers lately, and it seems to be an interesting place to explore. I got to flex my brain muscles on Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and you name it, you got it. All thanks to Dekan Jeff who got me interested in this when he showed me some topics relating to men's health. Of course, I didn't linger much around there, because there's so many other interesting topics. I found that I could also apply my knowledge on medicine, Hehe...
Yesterday was my first day of work with Dad. Went to
Souled Out Restaurant in Sri Hartamas to do some audit work. We weren't doing for that restaurant, but for another restaurant under the same management, SevenAteNine at Jalan Pinang, near KLCC. And me, as the puncher boy!! Anything that need to be filed, will go through my skillfull hands. Those documents that Dad needs, will have two holes punched in no time, all thanks to my training of punching through my compilation of lecture notes. Of course, I get to do some Bank Recon checking and also some general expenses. It's been quite some time since I've been in touch with figures, and everything seems to come back as I follow the procedures step by step. This was no easy meat, by the looks of the accounts. But nevertheless, I'm just the aid who 'knows' how Dad works through his system. Lolz..



Documents documents documents





All of these just to get the job done


Enough said. Anything more is private and confidential. Basically,
Sri Hartamas was supposed to be the next 'in-thing' area. Gone were the days where SS2 was the place. Even Wangsa Maju have places like SS2, just in a slightly smaller scale. Sri Hartamas was supposed to cater for the upper middle class, and everything there is much expensive than you would expect. But, since this is KL area, there's no fret. And Souled Out was one of the hot-spots restaurant in the area. Maybe it's the atmosphere, or perhaps, it's the concept. I wouldn't prefer The Curve for its lack of ventilation, but Sri Hartamas always seem classier than most places. I wonder if I could afford it even if I burn multiple holes in my pockets. Lolz.. Maybe next time I would post some pictures of the place. But for now, I will show u one of the interesting idea I've discovered yesterday.






A creative way to put it.

P.S. And a good aim
