Chairs
[ 2:41 am ] I drank 3 cups of tea while spending some time with Mr. Auntie and now I'm wide awake. Strange ... I don't feel tired ... yet. Guess I'll take this opportunity to unwind a little. I'll be making a trip down to Raub this coming weekend to meet her parents. I think it's only fair and I don't want them to worry about their daughter going out with a strange ... strange person. I don't think I'm strange. I never did realise that my age would cause much of a suspicion. Hmmm ... I take that back, if I were her parent, I'd be suspicious too D: I don't know what to expect, I guess it's better not to have any expectations with whole thing. Nah, I'm not nervous ... neither am I over-confident. Why am I blogging about this? Moving on ... Sometimes I admire her simplicity in dealing with things in life ... something that I admittedly lack. Simple doesn't mean you're dumb, it just means you're not overly complicated and take things as they are. Simple Faith and complicated Faith. Is there such a thing? Faith should had been simple and never complicated. I like the analogy she gave ... it's as simple as sitting on a chair. It takes Faith to sit on a chair. You don't think twice whether the chair would support your weight, or if it would break ... you just know it's a chair and it's meant to be sat on. Such a simple act of Faith ... to sit on a chair ... you don't think too much about it. Speaking of chairs, it's about time I get off mine and head to bed. 0 comments Sunday, July 26, 2009

[ 12:04 am ] Misery loves company, We should start a company and make misery. Wrote a long post ... only to realise ya, not a good idea to post it up. How about a summary instead? We love summaries, don't we? Ok, here we go. You know what? The summary sucked, so I'm gonna go to bed instead. 0 comments Tuesday, July 21, 2009

I am brilliant
[ 10:49 pm ] I bought a car handphone holder 2 years ago when I first got iPhone. It has been serving me well ... until one important piece disappeared. I'm using a Nokia 5800 now and in term of width, it's slimmer to the iPhone. Basically, I can't hold my phone well in place when that important piece is missing ... and then I had a brilliant idea .... Blu-tact. Clever or not!? Now my phone stays happily in place when I get call :D *pats own back* 0 comments
Overdue updates
[ 10:34 pm ] I didn’t have a good sleep last night … my tummy was aching badly and made me woke up a couple of times. It was more of a gastric pain and not diarrhea. Probably the late nights took a toll on my body. Anyways, suppose to send YS off to the Perkeliling bus station but I couldn’t. You know, the weird thing is … I can’t tell if it was gastric or something else. Wish I could self diagnose. I force myself to take a packet of nasi lemak and a warm cup of milo. That just made it worse haha … wait, it’s not funny. My mom came down and I told her about it (no, I’m not a mommy’s boy). She said it was indigestion … ok? Indigestion? Really? So that’s how indigestion feels like. I took a packet of Eno (fruit salt), drank it and lie on the sofa like an ailing old man. AND it works! I was ok after an hour or so … and YS came over with 2 bottles of soya bean :) I spent the better part of my Saturday sleeping … I tried to work but I couldn’t. My body just isn’t up for it … so I replied a few emails and sent 2 invoices :) Thank God, some income for the month. It’s not much, but I believe it will grow. Here are some photos that I promised the other day. Last Saturday my grandpa decided to buy the lot of us dinner since the rest of the family was visiting. We went to this restaurant, Unique Seafood in PJ. I took the opportunity to introduce YS to the family … of course I was a little cautious about the whole thing … not sure if she would be comfortable with it. I guess sometimes I over think and worry for no reason ... I love look at fresh seafood ... there were plenty of geoducks and lobsters. I'm not a fan of prawns, partly because I need to get my hands dirty peeling them ... but this, this is different! These guys were really fresh and sweet! So yeah, I don't mind getting my hands dirty just this one time. Ok la ... this isn't lala ... but some clams that look like lala ... quite nice. I'm not exactly a big fan of lala but this is an exception. This tofu is so good ... I don't know what sauce they used, but it's darn good. I'm surprised that the skin was still crispy :) The lemon chicken was so-so only, nothing spectacular about it I thought the fish was ok ... but my cousin said it was overcooked. My aunty came over to try it and it was different from the one on her table (we had 3 tables). A 'discussion' with the manager and they decided to give us a RM30 discount on the fish. Oh well *shrugs* I couldn't even tell if the fish was overcooked. I got to spend some time with my cousins before they were deported (hehe ... kidding). I think I was ranting to YS about how no one in my family shares the same interests as me. I mean, seriously, most of them are into football and I’m not, none of them are musically inclined nor are they artistic in any sense. I was surprised that my cousin took an interest in playing the guitar … so yeah, I managed to spend some quality with him, not much but maybe when he’s older hopefully we would have a lot more things in common. Disclaimer: My personal thoughts and rants below I was a little disconcerted over something this afternoon. I know quite a number of people aren’t really pleased nor have shown her any support, neither have they shown any interest in getting to know me. Hence, I don’t believe they are in any position to be judge and jury. I don’t even want to apologize when I don’t fit into the whole mold that they have in their mind. I am quite proud and confident of myself; I don’t need to please them. I don’t think I’d be happy if all I ever do is to seek their approval. Nope, don’t expect that from me. Be genuine and I’ll reciprocate it. Don’t expect me to show any respect when you can’t even form an opinion about something yourself. Tsk. Cannot tahan. End ranting mode. Anyways, I’m awesomely tired … I really feel like working on my laptop … really hate it when I have thoughts of work in my head. By the way, God has been good to us. Some projects came through, while they aren’t paying that much; at least it’s pretty fast to get it done. I believe it’s only a matter of time before we get our big break! I have to constantly motivate myself … I won’t say it’s not challenging. As a matter of fact, if I let my flesh dictate what my attitude should be, I’d be soooooo demotivated. One look at my bank account is enough to make me sink into the bottom of the sea. I guess this is where I really learn to depend on God. At least we don’t have to do it alone, we have friends! 0 comments Tuesday, July 14, 2009

haih
[ 7:53 pm ] So, how's business? I can't count the number of times I've gotten that question and most of the time I'd just answer Like that la. Partly because I'm lazy to give a proper answer, heh. I can't say whether business is good or bad, but things are picking up. Though I wish there was a sure-fire way of sustaining ourselves. Hahaha ... there's no such thing la. Oh, we're going into 'Internet Marketing' now. Wait, what's that you say? Tell you more if and when we make money out of it. Heh. My extended family is back from Australia for a visit ... it's been 2 weeks now and I've not met them yet. Yeah, I've been busy ... I don't think they'd like that reason very well. I shall soon meet them this Friday before they leave ... haha. I feel lousy already. My sister wants to take them to some waterfall in Bentong on Thursday, see, she makes the plan whether they want to be there or not ... you have to be there. Cheh. I won't be joining them ... I don't want to spend the whole day out. I think I'll spend the time working. I had the opportunity to meet YS's bunch of close high school friends. It was ok, I've been through a lot more awkward situations compared to this. I can't find myself making superficial talk for the whole night. We had dinner at Food Junction ... quite pricey for a food court, not if you're a tourist. My mom left 6 chicken wings to thaw in the sink today. I thought to myself, hmmmm ... it's been a while since I last cooked anything. Oh well what the heck. Went over to the fridge to check my collection of herbs, LP sauce, chili sauce, some salt, soy sauce, honey, white and black pepper. Dump it all in. Don't ask me what recipe this is. I'll usually take whatever that I can get my hands on. I made roast chicken wings. Turned out quite ok, quite proud of myself :) 0 comments Archives nothing |
