Time Intersection

Finally I get some breathing space to rant here. And I forgot on most of what I wanted to blog now. Damn it.

Growing Up. Looking Back Then, Seeing Through Now.
It’s an interesting weekend back in Klang for me at least. Walking the familiar environment that it is so scary because it’s so familiar like what it is back then when I was 5 years old, 10 years old, 20 years old and now. Perhaps what is changed that people around has grown so much that its beyond recognition, some really became really old…white hair, hunch back, roads altered…kids grew up. Even at one day out of nowhere that I decided to go to this old familiar and famous chicken rice shop, I stumbled across friends that I knew back in college and even during my earlier days in cyber cafe, my youth and rebellious era. But of course I’m not surprised to see that my college friend still recognized me. I’m happy. Of course I did, and most heartbreaking one would be a person that might recognize you but pass right in front of you without even saying hello or wave the familiar hand?

It happens to me quite a lot of time. To certain extend that I feel so unreal inside me. At times that we might grew up in the past during school times by playing and studying together but as time goes, we went separate way and now, it’s nothing more than just a stare. How ironic. Of course at times when it’s like 2-5 years that I have not seen a person, and happen to stumble across them in front of me, either through the usual dramatic ‘escalator’ going up vs going down scene or meeting up in a chicken rice shop. I will be happy for those have grow and improve or progress much from their life seeing how many things in their life have changed and inspired me. And also to those that just give me a stare and look away, as afraid I’ll eat them up, (wtf?) I wish them good luck in their afterlife, this life also. And made me realized how lucky I am for not being their friend anymore. Talk about being materialistic.

Malaysia? The joke!
I’m not sure anymore if I’ll able to hold my temper and start randomly slap this country’s citizen one by one in the shopping mall. But I guess I learnt from Joanne that there’s a lot more thing than being a real jerk and lose our temper to something that is not even worth our words. To even just buying ice-cream in MCD. This auntie can’t help but to take as if I learnt the INVISIBILITY spell and cut queue? I guess that was alright considering my McFlurry might cool me down afterward, but it just adds to the fire with she looks back at me, like…a cold stare as if I’m blocking her way. WTF? Tell me. I’m surprised how I can endure that.

Red Packet 
Well, what’s next? Again this question comes to me again and again. Of course this is a golden year for people around me, a lot got married! And I’m definitely happy for them. Congrats to Tsuqi for being *cough*Madam*cough*Lee (Don’t kill me :D ). Jaclynn as well for being Mrs.Tan. And MayLyn this coming weekend.

Hello Singapore

It has been a while that I’m literally sit down and talk to a person in real life. Well, anyway the trip down to the land of water lion proved that there is much more thing I have to learn about life? And also it almost feels like a person like me can’t complain in life and have the feeling of “fear” even though I’m travelling alone. I guess this has been one of the stunt I pulled off after the one from Shanghai. Luckily this time around, my trip to SG is far more breezier than how it was USED to be back in 2004. It was hell back then. Basically something that I suppose to complete within the 2 week stay using Social Travel Pass (White Card) in SG.

Went to Klang bus station and took the usual route down to JB/SG. Costs me around RM35. And of course, I suppose to expect an early trip from 8am onwards, but they said that only 11AM will be the first ride. And so on.

Riding down south

And here I am. Reached at approximately 6:30 P.M. Cool eh? With all those continous stopping. 6 hours is what they can take you.

Reliving The Past?

It has been a distant past since my last post here. Much of lot of thing has happened. And some didn’t. 2007 was like a, rush of flying dagger to my throat.
A summary should be done earlier but I’ve only found some peace of mind and motivation to write it all up now. Perhaps throughout this 4 month of absense as a freelancer and not fulltime worker. I have really learnt a lot to survive on my own, working on projects on my own. Bigger responsibility? Perhaps not, but I guess I need to be aware of every single minute I spend.

I’m not even sure what will 2008 be for me. Exciting? Challenging? Scary? Who knows.

But I have learnt indefinitely that there is always a cause and effect for every action taken, and at times we will always wonder if it’s the right choice made. I hope I did the right one.

Been a rainy season lately, and this is just right outside Pavillion.

Some crazy stunt me and tuckloong pulled off during our trip to Singapore Design Festival.

And some treat for friends.

Overloaded with present it seems.

Celebrating with family and relatives

Genting is cozy as always.

And snuffing a cup of hot chocolate does help at this time.

I’ve lost track when was the last time I was with my family member for an outing. Cooking madness. Lots of food stuffing.

Perhaps it’s one of the good cool time I can take off to spend with relatives that I have not seen for years

That’s my brother’s son, my dad’s grandson, my mom’s grandson and my ?

Some really awesome toy shop at Gardens, Mid Valley, though Garden itself is disappointing to me, but this shop proved to be really something. Lots of Otaku toy inside as well!
