Stalkerish

Since I'm having 2 weeks of study leave, I've been doing something rather stalkerish.

The story goes like this:

It was during my primary 6 graduation trip. I was lucky enough to be in the same group of students from class 6S. I was in 6R you see.

There was this boy, which became the talk of my female classmates. Ok, he doesn't exactly have that to-die-for kind of looks, but he had qualities which I must admit, are rather attractive.

He was smart, being in the best class among the 5 (I was in the 3rd), bespectacled, tall, english-speaking, charismatic, a prefect, rich, and rather cute. How do I know he's rich ? Well, he told me his parents gave him 200 bucks to spend on that 4 days trip, which is considered a lot, given that age.

Flipping through the photo albums, I realized that I was actually in the same class as him during primary 2 !

And my fondest memory of the trip was: you know during those times, there was this kind of machine for kids. You put in 20 or 50 cents, and you can spin the knob to get all kinds of toys. In my case, it was those egg-sized container which opens with a toy inside.

So he actually bought a few and gave them to me !!!

*** Forward to the present day. A couple of years back, I was working in World of Cartoons at Midvalley. Guess who I saw there ? Jeng jeng jeng, him ! Shopping with his mum. Not long later, I saw him again in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. A couple of days later, I saw him again at the cinema! Oh the cheesiness.

Anyways, these days I've trying to search for him through facebook via friends of the same primary school. I even googled him. But sadly, to no avail. Stakerish ?

Roads

Haven @ LookOut Point

Just had dinner with a bunch of friends. Should not have gone out, but I guess, what the hell. Talked about a myriad of affairs. One friend recounted that he had on several occasions took drives out at night ALONE to Genting for a cuppa coffee, to Putrajaya or just pure wandering around KL.

Ok, that's a little weird but kinda cool too. Just thought I ought to try it some time. Maybe I could improve on my sense of directions. Which sucks big time I tell you.

Oh, dinner tonight was kinda wonderful. There were moments that we were just listening to the live music of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight, John Denver's Leavin' on a Jet Plane, Glenn Medeiros' Nothing Can Change My Love for you. Although we weren't talking, it was not at all awkward. I guess comfort does come with long association.

I personally like this rendition of Wonderful Tonight by Michael Buble.

Suddenly, I long for a holiday by the beach with a book in my hand. Dare I travel alone coming holidays in December ? Pulau Tiga seems tempting.

Unintentional

I was mean today. I don't know what got into me. I need to control my temper.

I sat here reflecting and realized I was mean in so many occasions. Just because others' actions seemed absurd, I make nasty and sarcastic remarks. Who am I to judge ?

Anti-social

I'm totally worried that I'm becoming anti-social. Since working, I've intentionally missed 3 company events: Sport club's dinner (which I contribute 5 dollars a month), group trip and industry dinner.

In fact, I had actually signed up for the group trip to prove to myself that I'm not anti-social but I ended up lying about being sick.

I feel kinda pathetic having seen others having a time of their lives getting to know their colleagues and making new friends while I am here friendless. Well, I do meet acquaintances but I just haven't found someone or a group of individuals that are my clique.

I just don't feel comfortable attending these events and I haven't an idea why. Maybe I'm just unwilling to step out of my comfort zone ? Maybe I'm feeling insecure ?

To bid Farewell

Dear Naoki,

I wish you a safe journey to the land of Moo Moo. Your presence shall be sorely missed.

Go on and have a time of your life. Stop comparing with those of us who have started working. You have made your choice. Be proud of it. Experience all you can. Just remember to come back by September next year. ;)


Yours truly,
M00nie

Simple

I really like this song from 宮心計 or 'Beyond the Realm of Conscience'.



It's like so simple, accepting things as they are, so serene.

But yet at the same time, it sings a sad tune of those serving girls at the palace, who just want to return home.

Really addicted to 'You Belong with Me' too. Been putting it on repeat mode through journey to work and home.

Reminisce

Someone once told me about a movie called 'the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'. It's amazing how she could describe it with such detail that when I finally watched it, it happened exactly in the order of her narration.

I always liked these sharing sessions. Although it would end up with her doing all the talking, but hey, I'm a great listener.

I remember one night watching a local production 'Sepet'. It was the kind of movie that would leave me thinking about it well after it has ended. In such occasions, I would need someone to discuss it with.


With my mind flowing with thoughts, I logged onto msn and guess who had just watched it too? The very same person.

It is incredible how someone could recount an entire 3 days of leadership camp to you, all in less than an hour. It was as if you were there. In less than an hour, I had learnt about all the main characters and could recount to you the highlights of the trip. Though it is rather vague now, I only remember: watermelon, umbrella and Rihanna.

That was how it was.

Oh, I think I'm beginning to like my job. Just a little. Kinda like the traveling part and the flexibility. It's like I could go to work at 11 am. (Shhh ... don't tell anyone) I also like going to new places. I didn't know there's a shopping centre in KL called CapSquare.

I think I'm a teeny-weeny better at roads now. (Oh, GPS is such a wonder)

And I like having lunch at different places. This week, I love the coffee shops located near the company I was auditing. The concept is pretty different. It's not those chinese eatery with many hawkers selling food like wanton mee, prawn mee, pork mee etc ...

It's those chinese eateries owned by one owner, and you would order from one menu, which include: Vietnamese chicken rice, fried rice, Signature 'Chew-pai' mee, Chicken chop with rice ... Something a little different.

Well, but I think such bliss is only short-lived. Because for these couple of weeks I've been auditing unit trusts, which is a no-senior kind of engagement. Next week would be a different story altogether.
