What if you're rich?
[ 12:26 pm ] I met up with Vincent yesterday for dinner at Kanna Curry house, section 7. This has always been one of the very few Indian restaurants that I love. The rain was kinda heavy yesterday, imagine my surprise when I was greeted by one of their restaurant worker, and promptly escorted me under an umbrella. Hahaha ... talk about service. Thumbs up! Haven't seen Vincent for about 2 months now, busy as usual with work. Well, who isn't busy in the entertainment industry? Buy anyways, it was good catching up with him. Hasn't been coming to church for quite a while now ... kinda sucky that you practically work 24/7. So I asked, what time he gets off work? Apparently ... he doesn't. Shrug. I invited him for Homes next Friday, hopefully he turns up. This coming weekend is gonna be a looooooong weekend! And I have no plans. Do I really need to have a plan? Perhaps ... I plan NOT to plan? No one to meet up with ... I guess I'll just stay at home and rest. But hey, I'm up for anything man. What would you do if you're rich? Hehehe ... everyone likes to day dream, me included. That thought crossed my mind, and I'm sure it crossed yours at some point of your life as well. Here's what I'll do. 1. Do odd jobs. Just because I can. Work in McDonald's, Starbucks, Cashier at a supermarket, waiter, etc. Why not? I'm rich. I won't care about the salary, but I do care about the experience. 2. Open a bakery. Maybe. I love the smell of freshly baked bread. What if it fails? So what? I'm rich, it's a hobby. Not meant to make money. 3. THROW money to deserving indie church bands wanting to record an album. Why not? Hahahaha so noble ... why not? In dreams, aren't everything noble? 4. Start a studio and make my own short films. Not for money, but out of passion ... since I'm rich now, and have all the time in the world. Hey, who knows? 0 comments Monday, August 25, 2008
TGIF
[ 2:22 pm ] I had an awesome time last Friday night at TGIF with Eric and Doreen. Teng Liang and Mary joined us later on. I read somewhere on Amelia's blog that the JD burger was awesome, so I had to try. It was awesome haha. It has been a while since I last stepped into TGIF and was surprised that the menu changed. Oh well, it's much better now, no complains there ... EXCEPT, the service was really crappy. Which branch am I talking about? The Curve of course. I can't recall how many time we had to get the waiter's attention. Bleh. I knew Eric had plans to propose, but I didn't know he did it already ... so yeah, they are both engaged now. So happy for them :) Sigh ... another one hahaha. It's starting to feel really awkward going out with them now, while being the only single one. But hey, thick face me, anything la. I bought an electric toothbrush!! It's soooooo cooool ... I'm so fascinated by it! I even bought tooth polish! So vain, right? But heck, brushing my teeth is a lot more enjoyable now. It didn't cost much since I got the cheaper Oral-B one ... RM42. Not bad right? I was expecting to pay double the price! The Actsperiment album is out now :) I've been overdubbed, hahahaha. Guess my playing sucks, anyways, this just gives me more reason to improve on my playing. Odd, I should be bothered by this ... but I'm not. Oh well :) By the way ... I was reading this article on Star Metro about Deborah Henry Priya, Miss Malaysia World 2007. I've been following her progress since last year. Progress as in ... the things that she's been doing and what she's been involved in. Eh, I sound like a stalker. Anyways, what interest me is that, I find her very different from the rest of the previous year winners. She is a shinning example of what beauty queens were suppose to be.I absolutely detest how the organisers have been running the whole franchise. It's no secret that I anti-beauty pageants. Especially when it's a one shot thingy. What do I mean by one shot? You win the pageant ... and disappear. Poof. I'd expect the winners to be part of community service after they have won ... and not for glamour. Gosh, everything is for show nowadays. Winning a pageant just means a ticket to modelling fame, TV commercials, product endorsement, etc, etc. But here ... here's a gem. So far, she's the ONLY one that's continually doing social work. Ok fine, not everyone is called to do social work, but she amazes me. In a recent incident, Deborah was not called to crown her successor early this month only because she had expressed her opinion on the tagline for this year’s pageant - Kill Beauty, Save the Children. Wooo champion. I like. Attitude. That's the kinda girl I wanna be looking out for ;) Anyways, this year's tagline is pretty gruesome and tasteless. Go have a look, see what I mean. http://www.missmalaysia-world.com.my/ There are better ways of doing things, but I guess the organisers thought this would be awesome. But hey, back to Deborah, she wows me. I like beauty with brains. 0 comments Friday, August 22, 2008
I'm back
[ 12:34 pm ] Hellos muchachos! I've been procrastinating on updating my blog for a week plus already ... actually, this is suppose to be the post about Kuching, with pictures and all ... but damn mahfan la transferring photo from my iPhone. Bleh. Anyways, this is a little late, Kuching trip was ok :) Though the trip on AirAsia really made my nauseas. I don't remember feeling this sick from the past few flights I've been in. We took the very last row ... right at the tail end ... that was a very bad idea. I could see the whole plan body moved in front ... that made me sick, and you can't recline the seats. On the way back, I moved to the middle row, much better ... but I got sick also ... haha ... stupid flight. Erica's wedding wasn't what I expected it to be. It was pretty intimate and small. The tables were pretty nice, so many different type of forks and spoons ... I hate that. Dunno which one for what ... I'm so unrefined. Speaking about that, I didn't realise that the dinner was in a very nice hotel, Hilton, pool side ... kinda posh. Everyone was wearing really nice shirts, even the kids had bow-tie on, and guess what I wore? Hahaha ... T-shirt and Jeans! Champion! Anyways, knowing me ... I think that doesn't bother me much, though SOME people did complain la ... "You look TOO comfortable!" Pbbbthhh. We stayed at a pretty nice serviced apartment, Somerset Gateway Kuching. Free wifi! Good thing I brought my laptop. I like my room, this is the first time I'm staying in a hotel room alone :) I loved the privacy a lot. I had the shower all for MYSELF. No pressure. On the first night, I broke the shower ... haha ... the whole handle came off and I couldn't shut it off ... so, had to call the maintenance guy over :P I was looking forward to Sarawak Laksa and Konlo Mee! And true enough, I got what I wanted :) Ahhhh so good to eat! We had Konlo Mee at this really famous corner shop ... I can't remember the name, it's the one at Carpenter Street. It's been around for ages, you HAVE TO FIGHT for your seats, it's that packed and famous. The shop is really old, looked like it was from the 40s or 50s. I guess, any place with real marble tables are ancient :) On the first day we arrived, Erica arranged for us to meet ... Ummm .... Orang Utans. Yeah. So, off we went, no time for breather. We went to a forest reserve, damn ... I can't remember the name. I find Orang Utans quite fascinating ... they are so dexterous! Quite lepak also. The guides were warned us not to be directly underneath them during feeding them, unless you wanna be hit by 'hot showers' hehehe. Good thing it was feeding time, so the whole bunch of them came out to makan :D Well, that's the short summary of my trip to Kuching! I'll post up the pictures later. Weng and Siew Li called me up for dinner last Friday, that was kinda unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless :) I was expecting some good news from them ... you know ... maybe engagement or something. But NooOOooOoooo ... they brought someone along. Siew Li's colleague. I could had sworn I saw cheeky smiles on both their faces -_- ANYWAYS, I'm quite ok with it, though I'd appreciate some heads up. Her colleague seemed like a nice person to talk to, but I didn't get to know her that much, such an awkward moment. I think she has a really hairstyle ... I dunno why, I find girls with hair covering one part of their eyes very ... ummm ... nice. Coincidently, she's been attending ACTS for 2 months now, weird how I've not bumped into her ... and knows quite a few MMU people in church. How odd ... how come I never realise? I guess church has grown to the point of so many people that it's hard to know everyone now. I've been wanting to watch WALL-E for a while now, almost everyone seem to have watched it already ... what the heck. I'm so slow. I'll try to catch it this weekend, hopefully. I'll be meeting up with Eric tonight for dinner at The Curve. Catching up time! The ACTSPERIMENT album is launching tomorrow. I'll probably grab a copy for Kanmani. Hmmm ... church album ... it's been a long time coming. I'm proud of the team. I suck at sharing, at least I hope with this, it'll be a valuable tool to share the faith. I've not been feeling my best these past few days, too many worries in my head. How ironic, right? To be taught to cast all your worries at the feet of the cross? Actually, I haven't been doing that ... I guess this is an issue with pride. I think I have small hands. Tiny hands. I can't hold that many things with these two hands ... how many things can I carry or scoop? Sometimes it's really hard being a Christian. Unlike the world, we know. We know God's word. So, when we are disobedient, the guilt is lagi teruk. I think I'm very stubborn. Refusing to budge or do things that doesn't seem to fit into my sense of logic or principles. But what about when it is God's? I need help. I can't do things that I don't understand nor can I do things that don't share the same vision ... I'm such a troublesome person. I'm not the type that ... you tell me to run, and I'll ask how far? I'll ask, why? Why are you asking me to run? What is the purpose for me doing so? I don't follow blindly. I don't move with the crowd, nor do I want to stand out from the crowd. I was thinking, if I was born during the time when Jesus was on earth, what would I be? I guess, I'll be one of the thousands of people in the crowd following him ... but at a distance. Curious, to learn about this person ... but cautious at the same time. I guess this is what we call being lukewarm? It's better to be hot or cold than to be lukewarm. "So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth." What am I? Two years ago, this was prophesied over me ... I remembered him saying that I think too much, covering every angle of something, weighing in decisions but neither making a decision at the same time. Not wanting to pick a side. I can't 'win'. Just like lawyers in a court, I have to pick a side and fight. Pick a side. Fight until I win. How true. Two years down the road, I'm asking, what am I winning? What do I want to win? I don't even know that. Bleh. 0 comments Wednesday, August 06, 2008
Kuching!
[ 12:19 pm ] I had an awesome time watching Dark Knight last Saturday ... however, I'd still refuse to put it above Iron Man, 'coz Tony Stark can beat up Bruce Wayne any time of the day :) Anyways, I was a little conscious about hanging out with Kanmani and her 10 year old nephew, but in the end things work out pretty well. Nice kid ... with a British accent. I think we warmed up pretty well. Kids. I can't say if any paternal instincts kicked in though ... taking the kid to the wash room ... that's a first time for me haha. I played his PSP for a while ... and now I WANT ONE. I'm heading to Kuching tomorrow for Erica and Joseph's wedding! Looking forward to the short break. Erica is gonna be picking us up from the airport ... I'm not sure how well she plans her stuff ... umm ... no expectations. I do know we'll be going for an Orang Utan tour though. Haven't figure out how much to pack for the wedding ang pow yet. Hmmm ... need to pack for Vinod and Ling's angpow too. We're gonna stay in this service apartment/hotel called Somerset Gateway, RM157 a night ... and for 2 nights it's gonna cost me RM314. Expensive ... a price to pay for refusing to share a room with a certain someone that snores like a hog on it's death bed. I'm still contemplating if I'm gonna be taking my laptop along ... it is technically a working day after all ... hmmm ... but the thought of lugging a laptop around ... ugh. It's the month of August already ... the months seem to pass by fast. I don't know where I'm heading to ... actually wait. I know where I'm heading towards ... just don't know HOW. Things at work is pretty awesome, I love my job and the things I do. As for my personal life, I do occasionally think about ... stuff. We're never satisfied with the things we have, huh? I guess it's a human trait ... we're made with a hole in our heart where there's nothing this world could satisfy, only God can. Ok, that line sounded like it was from a movie I watched. Anyways, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE TRIP! WOOHOOOOO 0 comments Archives nothing |
