Life is not a bed of roses

The sky finally broke its water. No, it's not a labour process. I am just venting on the hot and dry weather since my arrival. Whereas you can expect of so much rain at other parts of the country.

Mum once told me, we have five fingers and they are all different. Looking at it, I am very much agreeing to it. Life cannot be the same for all of us. I like this quote: you laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh back at you because you are all the same.

Ok, nevermind. Being home sometimes makes me feel like I am a lil bit too far away. I feel so foreign at times. The roads, the places and the people. I am not sure what people are thinking anymore. Things happen again and again. I know I should be enjoying the holiday as YL is getting married this weekend, but I have yet to develop any mood to even see myself live for the next few days. No, I am not having any suicidal thoughts. I just dun find anything fascinates me here anymore.

Perhaps I shall just be quiet and observe from an angle, so not to disturb the fengshui, or even yang and yin from flowing. I just want my presence here for this entire week to be uneventful. When I see some dramas lately on the tv, I find myself moved so easily. No, I don't wanna be the character in the movies. I just want to be myself, and being myself by all means, to do whatever I want.

Life is not a bed of roses.

What can I say about the traffic?

Phew..the ordeal is over, or at least the stress is.

Anyways, back in hometown earlier than expected because of that "ordeal" and supposedly to attend a friend's wedding at the end of the year. Can't afford to fly back twice within 2 weeks time coz the flights are horrendously expensive. So, my leave is unexpectedly extended.

The first day already evidently shows that this city will never ever be outta vehicles on the road. While people were telling me that during the school holiday season, the traffic was much better. But I beg to differ coz if this is better, I couldn't imagine what's worse.

I was late for the event as I was stuck in the traffic for more than an hour. Besides, the genius never-ending change of road structures complement with long-riding, no turning back, multiple split segmented highway in the heart of the city proves to be fatal for the weak hearted if you ever need to attend an urgent meeting which might probably change your entire life. If so, avoid the road if you ever get the possibility to travel by air, sea or whatever means, but keep away from the road!!

I am so unimpressed with the road structures and now I really find it so dangerous driving in town especially when you are away for 3 months. Basically the town transformed overnight and never seem to stay in one picture. There are new high rise buildings keep coming up and the roads are butchered beyond recognition. Literally, when a road splits, the left lane will usually entirely bring you to the right side of the earth while the right is otherwise. I was trapped by

the innocent look of the road and ended up to the wrong way when I helplessly look down on the road which I wanted to go but now the overhead was bringing me to the opposite direction.

I had to look for the nearest place to park the car and grab a cab!! Because the road is so congested, people get so impatient and they start to squeeze in from the illegal lane. On top of that, the confusing and sudden-missing signboard can be really irritating.

Ok, I better not keep going on or else this entry will become a presidential speech. Time for tv drama now. See you peeps!!

Back to writing

Well guys, I've just got back from the rough community camp.

What happened to be a 2 days 1 night stay ended up being a 3 days and 2 nights. The sea was choppy and there was lotsa rains and winds. It was alright in the morning till mid day though. We were basically stranded on the island coz the earlier boat which fetched us to the ship got it rough in the sea and one lady was almost thrown out into the sea.

The second boat was employed but were not able to make any closer to the big ship, so the plan was to stay another night. With limited clothes in our bag, we made good use of them, if you know what I mean.

The community camp was kinda tiring but it was an adventure. Travelling by ship took us 5hrs and then transferred to the island via boat. Anyways, mission accomplished. Met lotsa volunteers, including aunt leong who used to be a doctor in hk but now volunteering at the palliative care unit. It's always nice being in community work, meeting people from all walks of life. I am glad to have found sometime this time around coz since I moved to this new job, I've not much time doing volunteering job.

I also met SN Joe a few days ago. He is currently the president of KASIH, another NGO. We struck the right cord on the RVD issues and I hope this NGO is not another sleeping one.

Ok, what's new? Work, work and work. I wanna do more sports but I get so tired easily nowadays. I better get back to my books. Lotsa catching up to do!!!

Until then, it's a busy and expensive month, trust me!

Back again

Hi guys,

It has been 7 months since I last updated this website. Time certainly passes by so fast. My house was broken into. My pc was gone and also some precious as well. But that was few months ago. After sometime, I just got so carried away with work and didnt seem to have time to write so much.

Granny was admitted to the hospital last night. She was having pneumonia. Hope that she would recover quickly. Aunt says she was doing better today. I am glad of hearing that.

I'll be away over the weekend for a community camp at one of the islands called Mantanani island which is known for its dugong. I am not sure if the species still exists but I heard it's a beautiful island. This event is organized by the local branch of Malaysian Red Crescent Society and we are travelling by sea. I am so gonna have sea sickness. Let's see how it goes.

I saw Richie this afternoon. He was his usual self, being so oblivious after everything that had happened. No, not that I was upset with his attitude but I find him to be kinda strong outwardly. He was diagnosed of having cancer recently. He lost his toes and one finger for some vascular disease and now he was told to have cancer. He was a chronic smoker but he never showed any anxiety. His sister on the other hand fainted after being told by the doctor about his options of treatment. They refused treatment and he just wanted to live the remaining days to the fullest.

I couldn't leave my eyes off him when his sister went fainting and cried. He was acting like so oblivious and then started to console her instead. He was so innocent but I think he has a choice to his life.

While one refusing treatment, the other had no means to get treatment despite wanting it so badly. Rosy was recently diagnosed to have cancer as well. She is just merely 26 years old and with three kids. Her husband ran away sometime ago. Now come the problem, she is not a citizen. She is an illegal immigrant and for her to get treatment, she has to pay a fortune she would probably won't see for a lifetime. She broke down coz she was in pain as the disease progresses daily. She is dying a slow death.

Life is not always rosy, ey? Year end is approaching. It's gonna be a busy month. Studies and work will definitely occupy most of the time. Nowadays I am hardly exercising anymore coz I'd be most probably too tired after work each day.

Yawnn.....gotta get back to the couch. Adios!

When the time comes..

This morning Amy decided to drop by the town to have her hp fixed. She called me up and I went to fetch her at the bus station. Indeed, I had an appointment with Maz coz he needed a favour from me, so I stopped by the office before proceeding to the hp shop.

Amy waited at the hospital entrace which is nearby the office. She bumped into her other colleagues at the hospital and apparently, they were visiting an ailing officer Riz. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year and his prognosis wasn't that well.

So, she went along and saw the crying wife and the semiconscious officer. She left with teary eyes. When I saw her again, she told me about the whole thing. An hour later, she received the news that the officer had passed on. The rest of her teammates didn't make it to visit him on time but she did just right before he passed on. If only I weren't gonna stop by for Maz, she would've followed the rest to visit him later in the evening and missed seeing him while alive.

Sometimes things happened when it's meant to be. I am slowly learning to understand about destiny. I used to be pushy and tried every corner to make things work but eventually they don't and ended up with a huge disappoinment. I think I am gonna adopt a more relaxing approach. Life is afterall too much stressors.

Addie is discharging tomorrow. I am glad to hear that and let's see if she would take care of her health which I am a lil skeptical. It's time to learn to be healthy, addie!

Freddie, please get well soon. I am sure you are gonna be fine. Just rest abit when you are in the hospital later okay.

To all the gentlemen and ladies out there, life is full of stress. All the best in your undertakings!

Alright, off to bed now.

D'Cat City

Speaking from the cat city. Been here for the past one week for work.

Let's recap and do a lil review on this trip.

There are a few gd hotels around town as well as the outskirt. The pullman hotel, grand margharita, hilton and four points to name a few. Four points hotel is near the airport but it's a lil far away from the city where most of the main attractions are. Cheaper hotels are seen mushrooming the town as well, ie Lime hotel, Tune hotel, etc.

The thing about the city is its cleanliness which is commendable. The tarred roads are smooth and the colonial structures really define its city. Something like Singapore but you find it a lil more cosy here.

Museums are everywhere and I was told they are the finest in the south-east asia region, which I could totally agree. You find few museums located at the same area which is so convenient for the visitors and they are well-maintained.

On the other hand, the transport system is not efficient. Most of the people here own a car because obviously the public transport almost null in existence. It's very seldom to see a public bus and most of the time they are seen only within the town and only 1 type of bus which is available, number 11. I am not sure of other numbers coz that's what I have been seeing in this visit. Most of the time, taxi is used to move from a spot to another where the fare is so variable. One taxi driver told me that the meters used are faulty and the cabbie can change the price as they like. The taxis are usually for the visitors or tourists as they don't have any choices. A simple 15 mins ride can cost more than 20bucks.

River cruises are seen along the well known S'wak river. It's nicely done and very cosy. Though there are many complaints on the political system here, but I've to say that tourism is kinda well done here. Across the river, there is a small village. Foods and souveniers can be found here. Remember to try out S'wak laksa, Kolo mee, Nasi ayam penget, etc.

The town is very compact. You find almost everything in the town. Somehow cosmopolitan kinda feel. Temples can be found here and there. The influence of the Chinese cannot be discounted. They have a museum dedicated to the Chinese settlers here. Wherever I go, I can never miss this museum. It speaks of how much the Chinese had gone through to earn an honest living. They are the unsung heroes who brought so much development to these places without any complaints. And yet, they are being robbed off daylight of their sweat and hard work just because of the lazy and greedy authorities who think they deserve every part of other people's success.

The sun sets around 7pm here. I've not much time visiting because it was mainly work but I took sometime to move around to feel the vibe of the town. Afterall, I never know when will be the next visit. Ah...let's talk about the cinemas. Been to 2 cinemas and they are very cramped up, and the ticket costs 9bucks. Hmmm.... not many went for movies here even it's a weekend, hehe. Maybe the srping mall has a better cinema there.

Alright, I better sign out now. Going for a quick town walk and leaving to the airport this evening. And to Addie, who was admitted to the hospital lately for some eye problems, do heal well. Take care my friend.

The amazing race

The state-held international marathon went well last Sunday and it was really fun to have met so many people from all over the world during the event. There were lots of familiar faces and activities going on the field. There were two ladies clad in their kimono attire (apparently one is a real Japanese student) running along the race and gosh, she was fast,haha...

The event started at 6am but Maz gave me a morning call at 4am!! I was working late the night before and only slept at 1am. 3 hours of sleep really was challenging for me mentally and physically. I did not expect the race was that far distance, given 10km, and it felt like soooo far.

I managed to clock way much below the set time. So yea, I earned a medal. And to make sure it's real, I bit it with my own teeth, hahaha..that was a joke.

Looking forward to another race.

Back to jog

It's been a while now I guess. I am back at work. Though work has been busy and tiring, it keeps me away from thinking too much. I have just started back to jog this evening. Muss was in the mood, so we made it a point to go for a jog every evening until the event this Sunday.

Oh yes, there is a run happening this coming Sunday organized yearly by some organizations and it's like one of the biggest events in town. After being away from the gym and jog for the past one month, I guess I need to do alot more to gain back the stamina. It's gonna be 10km this time.

This evening in the park, I just realized how beautiful the set up was. There was a fountain and background musics were playing so soothing. I was jogging like a rabbit, jumping up n down, left and right, following the momentum of the musics itself. So pretty, free and easy after a tense working day.

I am gonna miss a few friends who are most probably leaving the company soon. Time flies really fast. I can imagine my next departure but dunno when it will come. Until then, let's just enjoy my presence.

A blog for Him

I would like to put down a gratitude note to this nice samaritan, who happened to cross my path yesterday afternoon. As mentioned in Albom's earlier book, strangers do cross paths without realizing it and it indirectly makes a difference to our lives. When I started to move my car from the parking space, I heard some dragging noise from the front of the car. Noting something wasn't right, I came down and had a look. The tires were alright. I tried to drive again and the noise came back. A guy came out from no where and he was alighting me that the car plate had fallen off. So I went to check out with him. He offered to fix it and brought along his tools. Of course we were doing together under the hot scorching sun. He really did it whole heartedly. Soon, I was able to drive back. Before I left, I offered him some money as a token of appreciation but he refused and said he was sincere in helping. When someone almost told me that people in this world are unreliable, I felt that this incident at least reminds me that there are still nice people exist among us. Thanks bro!

A week with MH, Addy and Choonie..

Hi guys,

This blog comes a week later than expected. Last week, the three stooges from KL flew all the way over for a fabulous week of bitches, oppss beaches, sun and sea! These fellow really know how to enjoy life, I'll tell you why.

Well, as a friendly host as ever, I took sometime off from work to be with them, making sure these people well-behaved and well-fed! Am I right or what? haha...sure choonie agrees with that coz he took so many pictures of food which could stimulate the salivary glands instantly. From fabulous seafoods to german sausages, opss...yea, we went for german but the sausages I am not sure if that's the trademark there, but we left with a full stomach.

Again I have to comment so much on food. We were eating and eating, I have lost count on the places we went just for food. The italian restaurant we went after dinner supposedly for dessert but ended up with pizzas, etc...hmmm you guys need so much of discipline when it comes to eating next time, haha.

Ok, MH, Addy and Choonie spent most of the day in one of the luxuriest resorts here from Day 1. It was abit secluded but I am glad they had so much relaxing moment at the resorts, swimming and resting. We even had our buffet (eating again) there like the one highlighted here, chocolate fondue with me having the marshymellow in my stuffed oral cavity.

Then when we went back to the room, we found a strange green box on the table. Being suspicious I sneaked into the box and saw a luvly b'day cake. Hmm...after so many denials from MH and Choonie, I finally called up the reception and it was actually a complimentary for Addy! So nice of them. Then Choonie performed a sensual dance, ahaks, with all the lightings off but putting the disco light on. He didn't really pull it off but we accepted that's all he could do, ahaha..

We spent the Friday mostly on the islands. Hoping from one to another. It was a nice boat ride and MH with Addie spent the time on the beach cam-whoring (too much of blog reading!) Choonie spent most of the time feeding the colourful fish in the ocean. I am sure the fish gonna miss him so much coz they actually bit his finger!! and yes, it bled. What a romantic way to leave a momento like this.

Then Addy came with the rescue, tiger balm....errr... actually when I was suggesting to put some cream, I meant lotion and not tiger balm. I was kinda speechless coz the next moment Choonie was yelling in pain! It's not my fault Choonie...

We also took sometime visiting the museum, walking around the town, going here and there. This is the second visit for the three stooges and I am always so glad to welcome them back again. They are so kewl and full of attitude! ahaha kidding la. They are FUN! Don't have many pics to show. The above are courtesy from Choonie and MH. P/S: The above events are not in sequential order.

Hmmm...me looking so artsy. hehe...

Fab Labn

Hi peeps!

I am blogging now in the middle of the ocean. So surprised that there is even internet reception over here. I was away for the past few days to attend for an outstation work. It was mostly work, which I was not expecting to consume so much time at this place.

Well, it's nice to know that there is still a friend left over here, considering that most of the rest had moved back to their hometowns. I guess next time would be kinda difficult for me to roam around the town coz Nav is leaving soon next month. So yea, I need to make more friends here I guess, haha. But it was nice to have Nav and friends to accompany during my stay there.

Anyhow, I am heading back to home now on the ferry. So yes, I am looking forward to german sausages which Bo says very delicious in town. Let's see if I still have the energy then. Afterall it's a saturday.

Owh...really miss the hotel, the tv, the warm shower, and the pampering and cozy bed there! Looking forward to come again, perhaps in coming months.

From Labn with luv!

Calling the kettle black again..

An interesting programme found on the internet recorded some time ago.

Calling the kettle black! again..

Call the kettle black

I have a mixed feeling today after reading some articles on the local newspaper and watching some american performances on tv.

I can't help but noticed more and more american dramas nowadays especially involving the teenagers depicting a colourful image of the country itself. For instance the musical drama series, GLEE. The casts consist of many backgrounds; white, black, hispanic, asian, you name it. It makes me feel proud seeing my own decent is actually being recognized somewhere that long time ago being described as racist. Probably people are moving forward, putting skin colour behind, instead, focusing on tolerance and healthy growing among our kids who are the coming generation, and also who are going to mould the world.

Sadly, when I read the local newspaper nowadays, I find alot of racial issues prop up and its getting uncontrollable like a cancerous tumour spreading the whole region. It feels so much ashame that we have been accusing the west for being racist but instead, the racist lives just within ourselves. In the east peninsular for instance, ladies wearing sleeves shorter than the elbow will be fined. I mean, what the heck. The freedom of using certain language in a religion is prohibited and so on so forth. If these people who have so little in faith, no matter what language other religions are using, this will not play any effect. Why others have to be sacrificed just because you have a poorer in sight and lack of faith in your religion. I mean, it all doesn't make sense to me.

Controlling how others should live by your rules merely by using the excuse of religion is utterly absurd. And it is even worse when we are in a democratic society but not really practising one. It's a mere hypocrite. Telling the kettle black, and it's getting worse now. We are moving so backward. Very much and it's saddening. It happens not only on the newspaper, even the vibe is reaching my vicinity. It feels awkward but again, I don't care.

The verdict of life

The moment I stepped in, I was quickly ushered by a question, do you still remember him?

I looked over to the frail uncle right across the bed, there was a sense of familiarity. I could quickly tell Maz that I knew that uncle, unmistakenly. He was so thin compared the previous time I saw him a month ago. He was pale and appeared tired.

He put on a tired smile and the wife acknowledged me. I felt him instantaneously. We exchanged a short conversation before I asked him to take care and rest more. Then I moved on. But he was never gone missing from my sight the whole time I was there. I took a peek every now and then.

The disease really claiming all his energy. Merely few months, everything changes for him. He has a tumour in his mouth which was not detected until later, but again he was having unsuspecting symptoms.

I could see the family was worried. But I couldn't figure out what they were thinking. I never knew how to react in that situation. A lil awkward, all I wanted to ask was if there was anything I could do. But I just knew, it's a silly question. Definitely I couldn't heal him with a snap of fingers, then why to mention it when there was nothing I could do.

Life sometimes reaches a point where there is out of option. All we could do is to wait for the verdict to come. Until then, we will continue wondering.

Quiet night...

I find this evening to be very calm and serene. The rain droplets falling from the sky could be heard through the opened window. The evening breeze is so soothing. The melodramatic songs accompany the background of the dimly-litted room. As if the beach is a stone throw away.

It was a busy morning but it all went down to such a relaxing evening. Nice! There is nothing particular playing in the mind now. With a cup of hot chocolate milk, that would be a fantastic evening.

Missing those travelling days, with just a backpack that carries a whole lot of adventures without the burden of any worries.

A child in pain and it breaks the heart

He is merely 13, and from the first look, people might wonder if he was a spoilt brat. He would shout whenever he feels pain. He would make so much noise, sometimes continuously, one might think if his pain threshold is so low.

But at 13, he has a large tumour sitting in his head compressing his skull. That pain on his face on the second look after realizing the severity of his disease, it cannot be mistaken for a real pain, a pain nobody can imagine.

The moment I looked at him tonight, I felt so much at ease. He was ambulating on a wheelchair while moving to the toilet. He wasn't in that much pain. Probably the pain killer worked for that moment. That was so different from the first time I saw him. He was in intense pain. He was crying. He was just a child surrounded by adults. One might wonder if his puberty would make him stronger.

But my biggest concern is, if he would make it after puberty. If he would be able to live through and experience puberty like any other growing child. Poor kid. Both parents had left him since young, only to be taken care by relatives. I remember holding his head while he was having another bout of headache, even the meds were not working. I gave him a lil massage, my heart broke. If only mercy is shown to this lil kid. Did he deserve to be in this pain?

It's all different today. I held his hand. Everyone was complaining that he was agressive. Never let anyone to touch him. But yes, I held his right hand without restrain. He was telling me it hurts there. I looked and I massaged gently again. The feeling of being helpless, I could only share his pain by touching him.

If tomorrow never comes

He was just 14. An age where other kids are enjoying schooling life and so. But that afternoon, fate had got him into an accident. A fate that led him to a very traumatic account. And speaking of fate. Whether it really lies on His hands, or in the hands of the human themselves. It's a doubt again.

He was bleeding profusely from every corner of his head. For 6 hours, that's plenty of time and plenty of blood gone. Recall how much of blood in the body getting out of the system, for a logical mind, if the bleeding continues, there's no point of keep putting in blood. Coz what goes in, will go out eventually, and what else if the bleeding is like a running tap.

It took him another hour for the bleeding to slow down. But guess it's a little bit too late. A point where nobody could tell if any changes made earlier would have a better outcome. But fate claimed his life, or most probably if he made it, that would be a miracle.

It was like a scene in ER, except that everyone was running here and there, but not to him. ironic isn't it. A scene where people if not running, were just looking at him from a far, not even placing a finger on him. Or was that an ever ER scene besides the 2 paramedics attending to him? Another doubt. It would make a lousy ER drama afterall, cause there's so less urgency or anxiety in the faces of those wearing white coats.

In the eyes of everyone that night, it's just another life. What? Yes...just another life. But is his life less precious than you and mine? Third doubt. Look. He's just 14, there's hell lots of life ahead of him if he ever made it. He might even change the world, or become the next PM. Or at least think for one moment, he is someone's child, who was being nurtured for the past 14 years. Be it gd or bad, there were loved ones waiting outside. Ok, that's abit of drama there.

Again. Sometimes I wonder what if tomorrow never comes.

Life as it is

I remember being on the plane while travelling home that day, I had albom's 'Have A Little Faith' accompanying me the whole journey. Indeed, I finished the left over and there was so much thought going on in the head. I was looking out the window, gazing at the dark cloudy sky. It was a mixed of emotions. Questions like life and religion, as if hen or the egg came first, you'll never get an answer. I certainly like an excerpt from the book. I can't recall the exact words, something sounded like how should one believe an existence without sight, smell and touch. But again if one could be seen, touched or smelt, that wouldn't be Almighty right? Thus what we have left is 'faith'! And I think that's an important concept and drives us to believe there's a reason for a living.

The holiday back home proves to be very taxing. I have been sleeping so late everyday waking up also late, and it's really not healthy. In fact, I am paying the price now coz I have fallen ill. The flight was so packed yesterday and there was a sick child beside me. Poor child, she looked so tired but the father was offering some cashew nuts to her, gee...I wonder what they were thinking.

I have watched a couple of nice movies. But "Great Day" proves to be a memorable movie. Perhaps the movie is too heavy for me. It was like going through a roller coaster ride. The emotions were so great that you don't have time to take a break in between breaths. The sceneries were nice and beautiful. Didn't know that we have such beautiful greens in our homeland. A well done local made movie.

It's also nice to have some catching ups to do with the friends. Lots of travellings this time too. I guess I better be going. Will write again when feel better. Adios!

Xin Nian Kuai Le

Hey peeps!

Officially on holiday now. Yahoo!!! It's gonna be sometime before resuming back to work. Until then, it's gonna be lotsa travelling.

Gong xi fa cai. Xin nian kuai le!!

What a juggler does...

I know I have not been blogging lately. Well, juggling between work, self study and gym is definitely draining out every energy from the body as well as the from the brain. I can't help but collapsed on the bed once arrived home, only to be awaken by some frantic person who thought there might be an emergency earlier on. False alarm, and I've been staying up since then.

For a person who is not that discipline enough, gym and study have taken the second place. I know I should have placed study as the priority but I get exhausted so fast and whatever goes in, comes out the other side, argghhh... I am always a last minute person. I need the weekend to recharge myself, otherwise I go berserck when the time comes, ahaha...

The CNY is around the corner, another holiday on the calendar. I need to get things organized so that the study and gym won't get affected that much, although I am doubting it now. It's the rainy season, and that's kinda boring. Wet wet wet. Ok, better catch some rest before coming to another hectic day.

The Uncle who Appreciates better

When the feeling of being ignored by the system so intense and the career at the lowest point; feeling as if it's time to give up and head for another direction, uncle B wrote down on a piece of paper and conveyed it to me this morning. I was speechless, literally speechless. The tear gland was stimulated but I was holding back. I couldn't react and I didn't know how to react. There were people around us. And I was doing my usual job in the morning.

"Whenever (yours sincerely) is around, I feel safe and that my worries are all gone."

It was a reflex to be a little stuttered. Words uttered out quickly, "Uncle...uncle...I..." I was stucked. Embarassed. I saw him got worse and recovered. But it wasn't me alone with him along the battle. "I don't deserve that". Shyly, I moved away.

Being in a system where merits means nothing, and future career being oppressed for putting the best at work, can simply be summarized as demotivating. Looking at others climbing the ladder so easily and effortlessly due to certain background making one wonders if qualifications are really necessary at this place. Where quantities are prioritized than qualities, I have forgotten what's the reason of getting into this field. I want to believe this is changing, or at least will change. Somehow this perception seems so faraway from being able to be achieved.

It's like a stage afterall, or a play. You don't even have to put up a face at work, just come to work whenever you like and do whatever you want, and be whatever you desire, the work performance will only be judged on who you are in the end of the day and not the work you have put in. Ironic. It is indeed. It's no more a rat race. It's a different league afterall.

The rain has been going on since noon. I am tired, very tired indeed. I remember visualizing a child clasping both his hands and pray at night, so that tomorrow will be a better day.

Uncle has shown me some comfort today. Thank you.

Back to work

Hola!

Back to gym today after a long break. Took it slowly and steady, haha..dun wanna hurt the muscles too much. The gym was a little quiet today, probably some are still on holiday.

As for me, I had a long break from work. Had an interview to attend and visiting the family. Thus going back to routine is something that needs time to adjust now. Life is more stable and in control after getting back to work.

Recovering from facial breakouts. I tend to drink less when travelling. Maybe it wasn't convenient or I was simply too occupied that I had forgotten to drink.

The headache is getting very prevalent nowadays. I think I might need to get some scans done but as usual the lazy bugs always hold me back. The toenail is getting better after some treatment, I need to really take care of my toes. Hmmm...what else. Guess that's all for today.

Oh yea, not able to upload the video on white water rafting, what a waste. It was so exciting to watch than really doing it, haha.

Cheers!
