Dear diary,

He reminded me of a guy in my early uni year. With his jagged look and confident self, he stood over me down the exam hall under the mosque. One hand leaning steadily on the wall with an easy stance that he posed, cornered me with no where to go.

I knew how it looked, even from that corner as he was towering over me. As if in the movie where it was suppose to be a romantic scene but I was floating from the above to watch it too.

I felt helpless & small; crying for help from my roommates which was no where to be seen. And that very night, they made fun of me after that little scene was seen by them.

That was once upon a time when love was complicated and friends were abundant.

Life was easy but money was tough.

Youth wasn’t an issue but confident was low.

Flirting was safe but relationship was short.

Back to 2009. I don’t know why does he even reminded me of him. The two very different environment, feeling, personality and communication level. Maybe the physical look?

Probably, that’s the closest thing that I can think of.

Now, paired with a lot more experience and knowledge, it still doesn’t get easier than it was a decade ago. There was so much new things to explore and challenges that I never faced before. 

With every decision and choices, there comes with a price to pay.

As dear Barbara always said, when you gain something, you lost something. Ironically, she forgot she always said that to me.  

So yeah, just remember that you can never have it all.

Thoughtsss..

Filed Under life | 5 Comments

If we can listen to everyone’s thought, I suppose the world would be a very noisy place.

Or is it only my head. Even if I have silenced it, gradually, something will pop into my mind.

So, one might want to think twice if you are for the ability to hear other’s thought.

Perhaps it would be better if we can hear their thought only if we look into their eyes. But what if they are talking to you at the same time?

Would their speech be the same as their thought?

Probably not. How many times have we say things that we do not mean? Maybe not that often but we probably can think of the occasions that we had.

But how much do we really want to know what other’s current thought is?

Sometimes, it is better not knowing. Ignorance is a bliss? =)

Memory

Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered. 

- Cicero 

By 2nd day of work, I felt a little sick with running nose all day and an annoying sore throat. I was sneezing whole day at office, feeling cold and tired and sleepy. I would be probably thought to be unfriendly and grouchy.

I went to sleep at 9pm at night.

On the third day morning, I felt that my whole system was loaded with hateful greenish phlegm! I felt feverish and I couldn’t breathe with my nose, both were stuck. My throat continues to sore. Yikes!

I went to shower, convincing myself that I was good enough to go to work. But, when I was getting ready, I knew that it wouldn’t be able to survive at work, what’s more with the cold air conditioner at work.

Like it or not, I sms-ed my line manager about my condition and if it was OK to take MC. She said sure.

And I did, on my very 3rd day at work. I felt horrible, both on my condition and having to take MC on 3rd day of work! /_\

I went to the doctor and got the medicine for sore throat, flu, fever and cough. The doctor said I am “yeet hei” (heaty) and I thought doctor isn’t suppose to believe in yeet-hei?

I religiously took the medicine every 4 hours, after my porridge meal and slept the whole day. I couldn’t think of the last time I was so sick. Darn. >_<

Why didn’t I fall sick when I was idling at home for the last couple of months?

Probably I am not use to the new environment yet. Hai..

And how do I get rid of the HATEFUL GREENISH PHLEGM?!?

A New Start

Filed Under me, life | 9 Comments

I’ve been missing the ‘Pai Thng Gong’ (8th night of CNY prayer for Hokkien) for about 10 years I guess. So, I extended my long leave till today. Just back to KL, cleaned room, laundry and checked email.

Tomorrow, I’ll be officially starting at my new company! It is the fifth company that I am joining after I graduated. Geez, I think I changed my job a little too often, my friends agreed too.

Well, this time I am going to stay as long as possible.. I hope.. if the environment, colleague and benefits are good. And I sure hope it is.

I am feeling a little excited in going back to the workforce. A little worried about adapting. Well, just wish me luck!   

You too, happy working! Or studying. =)
