The people that I would always miss

It's been a couple of months since the last entry. I wonder if my readers are still following me. But I don't care. You read as you please. I write as I please. This page has become more like a hideout. No troubles, no posts. Something unsettling happens, and here I vent it all out. I guess one would have noticed the patterns. Well, I just wanted to say that I really miss you...

Letting go

As I lay awake on bed, with the mind shifting back and forth to all the people that has crossed paths in my life, the mind paused on him. I had contemplated to pen this, ever since that evening I watched him walked down the aisle. All the memories kept, all the hopes I had, all the fairy tales that I was anticipating, vanished on that same evening. Meeting him, all those years ago, had been what I'd...

Magic!

This would be the first encounter I had with a magician. A young chap. Alvin, I guess. Was having some drinks with friends over at this coffee house in 1st Subang when the owner of the place came over to our table to introduce him. We thought he was doing a promotion of some sort for the place until he introduced himself as a magician and up came his videographer and camera man....

C'mon fui!  Make up your mind already! ...

Subak, dine with nature

I just have the knack for places like this. Or I should say, places like this interests me. And I jump at the very instant on finding one. A diner in the hills. Perfect! Surrounded by trees, laid out in wood and bamboo furnishings, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Accompanied by the sounds of flowing water and crickets in the backdrop along with the view of fishes...

Tea with Karen

Remember her? Our lead actress in the local movie Nasi Lemak 2.0? Still doesn't ring a bell? Alright, read this again to freshened up : Something I don't usually do.   Yesterday afternoon, I was being dragged down (again) to Sungei Wang Plaza to support her road show. She is back in Malaysia now, promoting her newly released single. And to make up for that, I get...

The "perks" of being unemployed

The subject itself is a taboo. No one brags about being unemployed. It is unheard of in this society of ours. It's a shame. So many interviewers were skeptical on someone that has been out of job for such a long time. If you are not working and not attached to an organisation, something is surely very wrong with you. They must be thinking, "How can you not be working? Everyone has got to work." I...

I painted it myself

I've always sucked at art. Never been good at either drawing or colouring. All my artworks at school have always garnered a "F". I'm just not creative. I don't have the flair for colours and brushes.  So, if I told you I had painted this, all by myself..... .....would you believe me? Oh yes I have indeed. Amazing, isn't it? I couldn't believe it myself either. It began...

Another rant

I honestly do not want to bring this up. But it has come to a point where it breached my tolerance level, once again. I am working with morons. Too harsh. How about fools? Well, they are not exactly stupid. Yea, I think this should fit. Kids. I am working with kids. A bunch of 10 year old kids. Inexperienced and yet didn't want to learn. All talk and no action, empty vessels to be obvious. Fooled...

Something I don't usually do....

I have never been to any concerts or showcases or autograph sessions or award ceremonies. Okay. May be just once. Bad experience. That's why I have never went to any of it again. Not even when Jay Chou was in town. I disliked the screaming fans. I disliked having to crowd with a bunch of unknown people, being pushed up and down, for the sake of getting a glimpse of their idol....

The Grand Opening - Planet Popcorn

Starting up a business ain't easy. It was real tiring to have everything in place for the opening. Everything was last minute work. Operations training were held just 3 days before. Renovations completed just a day before. Stocks arrived just hours before. In between, there were certain administration stuffs to settle. Since we didn't have time to hire anyone yet, we did everything...

Queue or not to queue?

Dear middle-aged women, I know that these freshly baked biscuits are extremely delicious and you can't wait to get your hands on them. From the license plates of your sons' or husbands' vehicles waiting by the road, I know that you've come a long way to get them back to your hometowns. I also do know that your child or grandchild is bawling inside the vehicle and that you are rushing back to comfort...

The Business

It started out as a joke. At a local bar for a birthday party late last year. A presumably drunken friend was lamenting about the working life and how boring it gets. He was unsatisfied working for others. He felt that there was something to be done to it and he wanted to come out on his own. He suggested a business partnership and he asked if I would be interested. Thinking that the idea was fun,...

I've quit

Ohh, you've heard it right. Yes, I've quit. Yet again. Let's see...in just about 7 months. That's my 5th resignation in 7 years. People do wonder. "What is wrong with you?" Especially my parents. All my friends had the very same reaction, "What? Again? Gosh! How many jobs have you had already?" I have my reasons. Although I'm uncertain which weighs more. Or if any of those...

The 28th

Celebrating in KL no longer seemed to be special. There's nothing more that I can think of other than fine dining, clubbings, dinners, & karaokes. These seemed to be fun back in those days, but after awhile, they don't seemed to bring on any effects. So, I'd decided to take it out of the country. From now on. It wasn't much of a plan. Grabbed people who would accommodate...
