Of thoughts and all that is

It's been some time since I last blogged. Somehow, my thoughts doesn't flow into words as easily as before. Probably because I've been busy with work too.

Just came back from our supposed Merdeka Countdown. Yeah, I know the newspaper have been reporting that there'd be no countdown and all but just thought I'd take my chances.

The bitches and I ended our Merdeka Countdown with the thriller ' The Orphan '. I'm giving it a thumbs up. One of the best thriller I've watched this year.

Celebrated Zin Mun's birthday on Saturday. The official date is 26th August, but as it was a weekday, the celebration was postponed to Saturday.

Now, as usual princess Joozie broke the news that she had to work on that day a little too late and so I was left with the birthday girl for almost the entire day.

We had Meng Kee Chicken Rice (I think ?) @ Jalan Alor for lunch and then headed to Just Heavenly Pleasures @ Bukit Damansara for desserts. Actually, dessert was a take-away as it is only a retail outlet that sells desserts and not a cafe. Though you may opt to have your desserts over at Chef & Brew, just opposite Just Heavenly Pleasures, but you'd have to add another 15% to the price tag.

We bought a slice of 'Death by Chocolate' and 'Banana Cream Pie'. Death by Chocolate was nice, but a tiny bit too sweet for my liking. Banana Cream Pie was nice too but it would be perfect if the crust was not so hard.

We then had movies (G.I. Joe) at Midvalley and dinner was Porto Romano @ Mont Kiara. Food was alright but ambiance was superb. Price was quite reasonable too, given the setting of the place.

So what did we get her for her birthday ? An Ipod Nano ! Cost me a bomb ! But it was totally worth it though. Think she liked it.

Hope the birthday outing wasn't too boring though.

Attitude and Confidence Says it all

Working life enables encounters with many different kinds of people. One encounter left me with something to ponder upon.

One of my colleague was born with a deformed hand. But he has never shown any signs of embarrassment. Working with him, he exudes an air of confidence and you could see that he does not see it as an impairment.

Perhaps it's his confidence and attitude towards this setback that I don't see it as a disability too.
