I know it's a day late, but,
Happy Birthday, you fool!!! =P
Thanks for being an amazing/crazy/awesome friend.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Marcus. It was great seeing you after a long time, and, hanging out last night.

Some friends you make, you keep for life because they are just too awesome to let go off. You're among them.

Happy Birthday Mary Anne.

Hope

For once, I was able to look into the eyes of another human being, and share the thoughts and feelings I've long kept deep inside. Things that I've always wanted to express, but have often felt alone in doing so. Even the worst of them all, often seemed mild in comparison to ones I've seen. Every word I said, is true to the last bit. And I said it because I know that you are going through the same as I am. The same I hoped that another will never have to experience. You've seen and heard the same as I have, and maybe even more. But most of all, I am glad for what we have turned out to become. Wiser than the ones who have aged before us, a generation who will end up restoring the peace only read about in fairytales. I hope we will be there forever.

I miss you so much right now. I know that it's been long due, but, I really do love you. And I mean it.

And I'm sorry for all the times that we were there, but we never made use of. We were far, we were distant. But now we're different. We're strong.

Thank you.

Day 4

Yesterday...

The flight back to KL.



I had an awesome night. The barbeque at Daniel and Joy's place was amazing. I finally got to have Jack Daniel's and I made the most of it. Ask Shoban =P The rest of them had left the night before, so I stayed over at Daniel's place. What I quite liked about that place is that it was right in the middle of a paddy field, and had the most insane music room I had ever seen. Hung on its walls were loads of guitars and bass guitars, and in one cornner there is an electric piano. And I got to sleep in that room *rock and roll*

The flight back to KL was crappy. I just felt weird. I just wished that the holiday could have lasted longer. It passed by way too quickly for me. I wanted to do more things, and have more fun. But not to worry, more will come.

Day 2

Today...

It was raining so heavily, that we were confined to our room for the better part of the day. We went to Kuah town in the morning to shop for some stuff, but returned after having lunch...or did we? Well, I can't remember if we did, but yes, that is what we did for the first half of the day. Then in the evening, when it wasn't as rainy, we went to the underwater world. Initially, we intended to go for the cable car ride, but the weather didn't permit us to do so. These are some of the animals and fishes we saw.





























Then later on in the night, we went swimming at the beach. The best part was, we had just had a bit to drink, so naturally, we were slightly impeded, if you know what I mean. Plus, a rain storm had developed not far out from the coast, and this caused the waves to be slightly choppier than usual. I had a go first, and before I knew it, the rest were joining me. We had a blast doing it. RThen, when it rained really heavily, all of us returned to our room, soaking wet. But it wasn't over for Kush, Edwin and myself. We went on for another adventure while the rest were taking their bath. But that's a whole story by itself. It was a bloody adventure!! If you want to know, ask me, and me only!

Day 1

Technically speaking, day 2, because I arrived the night before.

Today...













Happy 21st Birthday Jon Woo. My awesome friend for 6 awesome years, and for many more to come!! I hope you had fun!!

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, my favoritr rock/country star =P
Keep on driving that good ol' tank of yours!
And keep on rocking till the end of days \m/

Last night was fun. It was great seeing the old bunch again. Just like in the days.

Now it's off to Langkawi.

Verdict

I need what H.G Wells so skilfully dreamed up in one of his works. It only need it for a while. ... is all I ask for. But too bad, no one has managed to make it yet. So, I'm not going to get what I need. Which is why, I need to keep reminding myself, "If you're going to behave like you're walking in the shoes of a fucking idiot, remember, no one has made it yet." There is no such thing big red button. Because if there were, I wouldn't be writing this in the first place. Too bad, some things are beyond me, and seem to escape me everytime I learn it.

Everybody is a fucking human. Humans have brains. Brains where they produce thoughts, feelings and opinions. Not just me alone. But right now, I wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing up there. Wait, there isn't.

I'm my worst critic. Hard as I hit out at others, nothing compares to putting my ownself on trial, in my own court, under my own judge, my own jury, my own executioner and my own prison.

Yes, I'm a jackass and a fucking turd.

I'm sorry if you had to deal with it. Any of you. Won't fucking happen again.

-peace-

Pronounced Meey-Ve

I love this episode.





However, this time, I really have to disagree with Clarkson. I actually like the Myvi.

Rides

The planes that I rode on the way home.


McDonnel-Douglas MD-80
Orlando International Airport
I flew out of Orlando on this jet. This is my thrid time flying on American Airlines's MD-80. Personally, I don't really like this jet because of its lack of legroom. But this time around, the flight was bearable, and eventhough I was seated right beside the intake of the jet engine, I slept throughout most of the flight.


Boeing 777-200
Dallas-Fort Wort International Airport
This is my first time on a Boeing 777, and my first time using Korean Airlines. The jet is a beauty. If there are two passenger jets that I really love, it would be this one, and the 747. The flight lasted for about 13 odd hours long. The seats were spacious, and the food was alright. But the only drawback is that there wasn't any personalized in flight entertainment. There was a large screen in the center aisle, but that was it. I slept throughout most of the flight too.


Boeing 777-200
Seoul-Incheon International Airport
This is the view of the same jet, right after we landed.


Airbus Industrie A330
Seoul-Incheon International Airport
This is the Airbus A330. It's one of the most safest commercial jets in operation. So far there has only been two fatal crashes in its entire operational history. One during its test flight, and the other during the tragic loss of Air France flight 447. The flight itself was not too bad, but again, just like the previous 2 flights, I slept throughout most of it. I was seated beside a Malaysian as well.


Somewhere over South Korea


Somewhere over South Korea or China. I can't remember.


Somewhere near China

Hello

Ahh.. What an awesome day.

I slept at around 1 or 2 last night, after returning from Prada's awesome birthday party. The company was amazing, and the whisky was not too shabby as well. I helped myself to 6 rounds =P Guess who got high after 3?? Too bad I had to leave the party early.

Then after sleeping for some time, my alarm buzzed at around 6.00 in the morning. I begrudgingly woke up, took it in my hands and turned it off. I had a "bak kut teh" appointment with two friends, and judging by my state of mind, and sleepiness, I just didn't want to go. Then, about half an hour later, the phone rings. I pick it up. "Hello," said a groggy voice at the other end. "You coming or not?" As much as I wanted to decline, I knew I couldn't. I had to go. Justin said he would be over in 20 minutes and he put the phone down. The moment he did, I slept off, with half the intention of calling him and telling him that I didn't want to go. Five minutes later, when the urgency of me needing to get up as soon as possible so that Justin wouldn't have to wait outside for me set in, I got up, and took a shower. Then, as soon as I was done, Justin arrived. I got into the car, and the first ting he told me was, "Eh, if you didn't come, I wouldn't have gone." The moment I heard that, I got slightly annoyed. Rule number one: Do not wake me up before 9. I'd probably kill you. So we went to Klang, met up with Yi Man and then had Bak Kut Teh. The food itself was not too bad, but personally, I still think that the one in SS14 is way better.

Then later on in the day, I met up with Christina and Caren for lunch at Sunway Pyramid. That was fun as well. It's always a pleasure to have two intelligent and engaging young women for lunch. The food was pretty good, and the price was reasonable too. Caren, if you're reading this, we should do it more often! And this time, we have to call Zhao as well.

I spent the rest of the day chilling out. I had no plans, so I kinda lazed around, and listened to some Radiohead.

But today, speaking to someone, I started asking myself the question. Which one is more detrimental to the existence of religios institutions. Aethists or the religious institutions themselves? I've got my opinions, but that's for me to ponder.

I think I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

Constants

I don't know why, but I just seem to like Michael Jackson's Stranger In Moscow. It has got that very chilled vibe to it. More than a week on, and I'm still upset about his death. I really am. He's just one of those people where one wouldn't be called insane if they believed that he would live forever. Maybe in some ways he really is. To me, at least. He's one of the very few on earth who has remained a constant through their lifetimes. I love constants.

Prada's birthday party is tonight, and I'm looking forward to it. \m/

Liberation

Ahh yesterday was a fun night. Beau Bristow was absolutely amazing plus it was great meeting up with more old friends last night.



Too bad something else rather unpleasant is now ringing at the back of my head.

I will call, I will solve.

Anyways, I finally drove some distances in a car today. It was fun, but I found myself lacking in distance judgement. And yes, I was rather...dare I say it... slow!! But never mind, I shall give it some time, I'll be back on it.

Ahh.. baru panggil. Harap boleh settle lah.

That felt liberating!

Drvers Licence

I enjoy headbanging these days. I can always feel something bouncing on my head. No idea what that is though =P

Anyways, I finally got my CDL today. Competent Drivers Licence if you didn't know what it stood for. Well, I was supposed to get it last year, but due to some rather fortunate circumstances, I only got it this year. But one problem, I'll still have to drive around with a "P" sticker stuck all over my bloody windscreen!!!

Moving on, there's this acoustic gig going on tonight. Apparently, it's supposed to be a good one, and the person who is emceeing for tonight is my good friend, Shaz. A couple of others are going, and a few days ago, couple of them have asked me to come along, so I'd better go check it out. Not a bad way to spend my Thursday night. I hope it ends before 10 though.

One Week Report

According to whoever it is that gives out the instructions, today is supposed to be my first day out of the house. But fortunately, those instructions didn't come to me very well, and I decided that it made no sense. So instead of today being the first, it's already the 6th or 7th. You help me do the math.

But anyways, it's been one week! Well, yesterday anyways. So what have I been doing? Well, to be honest, not much. Not much if yuo put it onto percentages, but definitely some, if you consider the hours allocated for sleeping, eating and all that bull.

On Thursday, my first day back, I quarantined myself for half a day. I did try to be sensible about it, but after a couple of hours, I decided that being quarantined just wasn't my cup of tea. So I called some friends and we went for some drinks at Maju Maju. It's a mamak stall somehere in USJ something. 3 people infected, and counting.

On Friday... Hmm.. What did I do on Friday?? You see, this is the problem with blogging so long after doing something. You just can't remember. But anyways, I know I did something on Friday, and whatever it was, I'm going to believe that it was good and that I infected a few more with that swine of a flu. No, wait a minute. Now I remember what I did on Friday =) I went to visit Jon and Kush at their booth in KLCC. It was a nice booth, with some of the most expensive and excellent guitars that I've ever tried. And the best part is, they were all made in Malaysia! My experience on the way back was a complete different story though. I was greeted with the "KTM way" in all its glory. After buying my ticket to Subang, I got down to the platform to wait for the train. As usual, I was greeted by a huge croud of people, all waiting to get back. Knowing that the train will come sooner or later, I decided to wait. Not that I had a choice anyways. Then while waiting, I received the best message in the world. Some announcer came o the intercom and said that there had been a technical problem and that train services would be disrupted, and that all trains would be delayed. When will these people ever learn? Then, a few minutes later, she announced that the train heading towards Subang would be arriving shortly. I was glad. But when it did, I became un-glad. Number one, the train was packed. Number two, the moment the train came, everyone started rushing towards it and started to block the entrance to the coaches. They were so inconsiderate in their behaviour that they even passengers who wanted to disembark the train could not do so without having to shove their way through. Now, at that point I got annoyed. When the disembarking passengers got out, the ones who wanted to embark found it difficult to do so because the ones inside them were too daft to realize that there were some space left behind them, and that they could move so that others could get in. Some of us had to resort to knocking on the windows and signalling these idiots to move in so that others an get in. Then as the train became genuinely packed, people were still trying to get in, with great disregard to their own personal safety. It went on until a security personnel had to tell them to get behind the yellow line so that the train could leave. I couldn't get in though. So I looked around, and guess hwo did I find standing behind me?? Rachel and Adam! Haha.. Who would have thought.

On Saturday, I don't remember what I did.

On Sunday, I had a rather uneventful day, but I ended up going to watch a movie at night. And that was that.

Monday was a great day. I met Vienna in the morning, and went on to listen to some of her rather cool travel stories in Poland. After that, in the evening, Shaun, Jon, Leong, David and myself went out to Asia Cafe to celebrate Ping Fuan's birthday. As usual, that was pretty cool. Yee Leong provided the entertainment, while the rest of us provided the commentary =P

On Tuesday, I met up with some of my old mates from college. That was fun too. It was fun catching up with them and listening to stories.

So that was what I've been up to for the past week. Nothing much, but still loads of fun.

Oh, and before I end, Happy Birthday Rachel!
