what is the most fearsome?
tonight, it is re-established;
the unknown, is the most fearsome

hurm??
I wonder if there's a thing called 'mid-year crisis'.
really, it's like you're nowhere here and not yet there.
tis the time where the annual doldrums resurface..
annual questions come back to haunt.
and the longing for the yearend starts to kick in ... well, for me it does I guess
sigh.... life. confusing at times like these.

amazing: life is
more than a year on after the tsunami waves crashed into the northern coast of Japan, daily items of all sorts and sizes are washing up ashore on American beaches.
soccer balls, Harley Davidsons, shipping boats, contaminated tunas. and today I read, a 20m-long, 5.8m-wide and 2.1m-high concrete and steel dock float. all 8,050km of ocean in between ...
"obviously, we knew things would be coming our way, but I didn't expect anything this size." - Oregon beach dweller.
who would've thought? amazing.

amazing: life is
the internet .. it's just A m a z i n g . . .
sitting in my room here in kl,
i'm listening to songs of clazziquai from south korea,
checking out a fashion blog - the sartorialist - based in new york,
looking at mount kinabalu even before i'm on the plane there.
yes.. these things are so daily, somewhat even trivial.
only because we're (i am) so used to it.
the speed, the access, the convenience.
not taking things for granted;
Thank You, Broadband.

procrastination
yes, i am guilty of dwelling too much and for too long into procrastination.
not one who’s into jumping at things and embracing things wide-eyed and lips ‘O‘-ed in awe, i am definitely one guilty of setting things deliberately at a slow (i personally prefer to phrase it as ‘steady’), pace.
i know there are things that should be acted on and completed upon, all the ‘right’ things to do and Should Do-s … yet it is always with apprehension and trepidation that i step up to it.
so i know .. that it may take longer for me to complete that ’should-do’, whatever it may be, but still, i do reach the eventual point. and i know, i may give that pessimist and unexcited look so very often, now and then, but yet, proof me wrong and i will gladly accept the fact.
still, for all the little, little achievements that i’ve had despite the whole load of procrastinations (sometimes fear, and sometimes plain laziness), i shall give myself a ’lil pat on the back for now.
and, a toast now, to all the time in the world .. (uhm, .. fingers crossed).

wow. fantastic, baby ... ~
woek's been kinda hectic the past week or so ..
only now i'm having a couple of hours to myself before the new woek week starts in less than 12 hours.
and the slowing & winding down part didnt really happen until i was left all to myself in the haus tonite... i'd realized while having dinner in the living room earlier just now, that i was actually gobbling down my food. urp, hullo? what's the hurry now, gurl??
then i slowly, but finally, sank into the sofa.. and really started to just, h a n g . a r o u n d . . .
life has its funny ways, we all should surely know by now ..
that's when i caught a glimpse of jacky cheung on astro celestial, in a rerun of the quaint Crossing Hennessy ...
that's right, i think i do owe Hong Kong a quick review on moi part . . .
was with the mates on a 6d5n breakaway trip to Hong Kong the previous weekend ... no disneyland, no Ngongping ride .. just to give a rough picture of the trip (cuz that's what you get asked the most back at the office ..)
we roamed the streets instead, and oh my, the amount of legwork for me, was something that i didnt foresee to be so, much.
of course, looking back now, i guess that's what HK is all about. at the very least, it gave me a good glimpse, albeit just a 5days' worth of glimpse, into life perhaps, in HK.
never say die. i truly do believe they eat and sleep with that philosophy.
i somehow do not believe now, that anyone there would ever just, stroll.
the pace of life, before, during & after office hours .. are equally fascinating if not maddening.
of course, i admit, i had started to feel out of place very quickly there, even a little sick of all the people and their pace.
their practicality and impatience in all things made me a little weary, very quickly.
for a lazybum like me, HK would certainly prove to be a very stressful place to work and live in.
the irony though, which hit me right away .. was when i walked into a local restaurant back here in KL ... somewhere nearer to Home, as i entered the restaurant, i automatically held the habit to look over to the counter and sorta checked with the local guy with a nod and a smile.
he kind of just stared at me, and quickly muttered a word of "welcome", while still terpacak behind his counter. urmm, i just did too much there, didnt i ? "it isnt the norm here, remember?" i quickly reminded myself that i should abandon all things HK a.s.a.p.
the boss of course, asked what i thought of HK some day over lunch. i guess i hadnt much cheery goods to say, coz he returned with a second question "you wouldnt be going back to HK so soon now would you?" ... Gulp. was i that obvious?? or was it that without me realizing it, my boss actually does know me quite well??
he of course, followed with his 2cents' as well. of how HK is one of the most efficient place on the face of this planet. in his words, 'the economic environment there is so conducive you could actually fly in in the morning, set up a bank account and register your own business and fly out again all in one same day'.
pity. i'd never thought of HK that way.
they are like, fast. that, i know.
so.
i dont really get, HK .. for now at least.
~ the irony, when all these years we'd grown up watching HK's famous exports of TVB dramas and listening to their cantonese music.
i do acknowledge still, the city and its people for its vibrancy, efficiency, .. very simply, their zest for Life.
:)
i'm sure i'll be back .. some day, again.
perhaps then, with a better prepared mentality, i'll be able to squeeze more quaint and sweet memories out of my trip then . . . of course, until then.
