Spring Fest again~!!
i shud remind myself, that the spring festival is here. i mean, as in seriously givin' meself a wake-up knock!! that the annual Spring Festivities are here!!! this is going to be
"The Week", leading to the great 'nian-chu-yi'... =)
before i let myself get caught up in the neverending work stress (yes, i dare claim them as stress however trivial they may be in actual)... i should realli wake-up and smell the roses.. literally, before i wake up on nian-chu-4 and find that it's all Over!! hahahha... (yes, work starts early this year for us..)
was at Centrepoint today with Jamie for a gratifying lunch at MFM, just as we were about to finish ordering, much to our delight, there was a Lion Dance show slotted right at 2pm!! yippee, my first lion dance of the year...
and we had a great view from the first floor balcony, overseeing all the details as they hop & leap across the poles... not to mention the lion's antics.. playing shy, 'shivering' on the poles, and their coyness when asking for applause from the audiences... heheh.. it's all coming back. the CNY mood.
back at home later, it became obvious that people around the neighbourhood had started their festive mood early too.. bangs of firecrackers could be heard already... Nope, not those u see on newyear eves, but those red ones so significant to the Lunar new year... =)
again, it's all coming back. the CNY mood.
back in the office, the directors have begun throwing pre-CNY lunches and dinners, as per annual practice. the decoratives in the office have been up since the beginning of the month too... as per annual. again, it's all coming back. the CNY mood.
yeah, it'l come fast and it'l b over soon too... but hey, before all that... i'm gonna live this week to the fullest...
not gonna let any negative vibes come my way...
(fingers doubly-crossed!)
to all folks celebrating the lunar new year,
Gong Xi Fa Cai!!!

easy relaxants...
sometimes, after a rough week of work, or watever work-related or people-related shitz that you got yourself entangled in... all you need are some simple 'relaxants' to pucker up your day... =)
may not work every time, but they kinda help...
1... Extra hours of sleep (meaning quality rest); 'extra' meaning anything from 12 to 15 hours...
2... A good dose of lazing & snuggling on the bed after that 12 to 15 hours of sleep...
3... A good and big helping of brunch... (it shud be after noon by then)
4... A thick wad of the Star's papers to get you through the afternoon
5... A good alternative would be some re-run marathon of taiwanese idol dramas (viewings that were missed on their weekday slots)
6... A working streamyx line, followed by the must-checks: hotmail, gmail, facebook, my blog, my fellow scratchers' blogs...
7... And if a good kaki is online, a round of healthy bitchin' & catchin' up on the latest wasupps (courtesy from non-other... FB)
8... Lastly, all the above if topped-up with a planned nite-out... Mamma~mia~!!
9... Oh~! and above all, it has GOTTA BE a Saturday no less!... anything less or more, then it just wouldn't work as fine!!!
~monday will come, but hey... it's Saturday NOW!!!~

mind boggling~
at times like these, you'd wish you were at somewhere else, doing something else.
anything... but this thing that you're doing now.
what? oh ya, they call that 'escape'.
the Ocean... vast and mysterious as it is, never fail to impose wonders and evoke a sense of great freedom. after all, great journeys and tall tales were weaved out of the ocean since times centuries ago...
and yet, you'd feel a tad of adventure waiting.. reserved just for you... at just ahead right after the bend... and yes, you'd sense the security too... as civilisation lays not far away, at least with a yellow signboard pre-informing that 'twisted' road lays ahead... (or would you rather view that as a warning instead?)
images, and of coz, songs... never fail to provoke and inspire.
yep, right now i am again, listening to repeats of mika's relax.
yes, a haunting note... that somehow manages to relax my nerves, with its repeating chants and choruses..
and yet ironically... this is always my choice of song when typing gibberish on my dell,
at times like these......

nah.. this one looks way too familiar. anyone who've been to krabi/ phuket/ samui would've seen this at aplenty right out of their vacation shots, no?
how 'bout this one then? with a beach in the shot... it looks more 'grounded' and gives you more of a sense of security... where despite your yearning to break 'free' into the limitless ocean that just seem to blend so effortlessly into the quaint, blue skies in the horizon... you'd still rather be seated on the beach instead, watching as the ocean roars and frolics... while, you, yes... 'at least' still safely, on the beach...
or rather, as pictures do what they do best... painting thousands of words... a 'neverending' road that leads to somewhere unknown, never fails to intrigue and inspire as well...

new Year, new Zest~!
i realized that my first post of the year was but just a piece of song (albeit a beautiful one) from a singer that's scheduled to hit our shores in Mar'09... well, what mattered more was the lyrics... i chose to apply it to the current scenario of me, then...
anyhow... New Year, New Zest for another Grrreat New Year ahead... yup. that's what i've been reading on the net, when i googled up "rooster fortune 2009".
"For the Rooster, the year of the Ox offers a pleasing and restful period."
"Basically, Chicken people have good luck in 2009, year of Cow. The main reason is the Chicken and Cow have the attraction relationship."
"Get ready for an outstanding year. Aside from the Snake, the Rooster has the best prospects in the year of the Ox."
and the ratings in the year of Ox for the rooster: 72% ~10 favorable and 2 neutral months~
hmmm... Good to know.. Good to know indeed...
with the Lunar new year just around the corner, i guess i'll be up to my annual habit of going out getting myself yet another copy of lilian's fortune & fengshui 2009. call it a mantra, a guide, plain nonsense, whatever... it just provides me with simple entertainment and "forecasts" for months less rosy.
HaHaHa!!...
work is still as crazy as ever... just spent a full day at Putrajaya working on some shitz (i'd b darn "surprised" if they tell me there's no B for the year...)
x'mas was spent with my buddies over a relaxing dinner at Alexis'...
~awe-inspiring shots~
~tagged: 'Orang Besi' by his fellow tour-mates ^^ ~
but then before all the hype, i shall first need to renew my passport to last me another good 4 and a half years to come. am hoping that the clients' advice for us to wait until Feb to renew shall be a good one. heard that they're slashing the price by Half~!
indeed, let's look forward to another, GREAT YEAR ahead!
moo~moo~!

~the entourage~
~Wang Prachan, Satun province~
~dad goin' snorkellin'~
~Pak Meng Pier, Trang~
~Cool...~!
~awe-inspiring shots~~tagged: 'Orang Besi' by his fellow tour-mates ^^ ~good for u dad! n guess wat, this hap-man is hitting Bali come mar'09 pulak. omg... shame shame ya?
nope, not at all... for all i know, i'm Bangkok bound come end of Feb. Jamie and i are aiming for some serious, hardcore shopping. booked ourselves a nice boutique hotel somewhere Pratunam, it's gonna be another great one... hehehh!!
and the co.trip has had some changes too... 'stead of Guilin (mountains and streams..) it's now Hangzhou/Suzhou/Shanghai (scenic + the City). that's great rite? Rite! can't wait to see Shanghai for real. fingers crossed though, cuz i heard from Loon, they're gonna 'group' us in 2 tours... cant imagine touring without Audrey & Yvonne!!! =(
but then before all the hype, i shall first need to renew my passport to last me another good 4 and a half years to come. am hoping that the clients' advice for us to wait until Feb to renew shall be a good one. heard that they're slashing the price by Half~!
indeed, let's look forward to another, GREAT YEAR ahead!

Details In The Fabric
Jason Mraz (feat. James Morrison)
Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up
If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it
And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine
Everything will be fine
Hang on
Help is on the way
Stay strong
I'm doing everything
Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?
Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?
Are the things that make you blow
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing
Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold
