walkin' round the room singing Stormy Weather
at 57 Mount Pleasant Street
well it's the same room but everything's different
you can fight the sleep but not the dream


things aint cookin' in my kitchen
strange affliction wash over me
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
couldnt conquer the blue sky



there's a small boat made of china
it's goin nowhere on the mantlepiece
do i lie like a loungeroom lizard
or do i sing like a bird released




everywhere you go, you always take the weather with you
everywhere you go, you always take the weather...

another itch scratched...

i gotta say..

..dont know what's been going on with my time in october, and now it's the 20th of the month already.. i'm due for another round of away-time... yup, come 830AM nanti (in more or less 9hrs from now..) me and mates will be off on MAS to b a l i :)

the sweetest feeling to-date for month octo? that short (uh-huh, short) drive from office to home after work today.

pleased. . . i guess that was what the feeling was after all.

been banging around the office these past few days to make sure woek is done (or at least almost done) in time before the long weekend away.

payroll's due this week.. i tink i aced it just in time.

the 1st half meeting presentation slides (which i will Not be here to attend..) are due this week.. with me not being in town this weekend, will also mean i'll be spared of this friday's whole-office-hiking-trip-to-Broga-Hill-at-430am as well ;D

and the team's claims M U S T be processed a.s.a.p. now that Helen's last day is at the end of this week too~!!!

and of course, a whole bunch of other 'suddenly urgent' stufs since the boss remembered i'll be away for 3days straight. . .

so a slow drive along the ldp, with the rest of them cars flying by on the right lane, proved to be quite a therapeutic exercise i discovered today. unrushed, that's what i was... with woek concluded for the week and behind me, and luggage packing not due until it's late late tonight, i took my own sweet time manuevering along the highway... bliss. guess the unwinding has already begun.

but of course, before i come back with some bali trippin stories next week. here's a simple recap-to-self on life-recently ...

our play for the company's annual Raya & Mid-autumn Fest dinner ~Chang'er & Houyi~ went well, uhm.. save for the end part where the moon just wouldnt show up... O.o

timed-out with the gang at Velvet on a thur nite.. something different, something new. and yes, they should keep it at thursdays coz the fact that the next-day-is-a-friday is truly great consolation. (and now i cant get justin bieber's song out of my head whenever i think back to this night... ♪you know you love me, i know you care♪~)


the once-in-a-lifetime TenTenTen~!! how clever of these people to come up with a Fun Run huh? and just the right thing too, for me and gang to actually come together for again, something different :)

caught this with the gang on a fri night. a funny one, absolutely necessary for an after-work-movie. and one-half-main-act Mark Walhberg? remember what he used to call himself?

yep.. Marky Mark it is.

and finally... jess' wedding at ipoh. another road trip was called for this.. courtesy of steven, had me and audrey both hanging around most of ipoh's must-go-to-shop places on a sunday afternoon... (salted chicken, heong peah... yep, you get the gist... )

oh,look!

we "secretaries" are supposed to check the papers daily during lunch for tender announcements and such..
flippin the papers towards that section, we are bound to come across the comics and horroscopes part (is it just me?)
it is almost always inevitable that i would get curious enuff to check out my readings for the day.
i know it's all just some unreliable predictions and such, but yes, i always, do peek (do you? do you?)
and look what's in store for me today ... :

"you are longing for distant shores and may feel like getting on a plane and jetting off to an unknown destination. life cannot always be that exciting, so try to come to terms with a life that is more pedestrian."

O.o
i couldnt help but smirk while staring at that tiny paragraph next to the comic strips.
a life that is more pedestrian ??
what a drag . . .

weekends are for R&R!

i just dont get how some people choose to simply occupy their weekends with chores and running arounds.
i mean, weekends are for rest, people!
is it them or is it just me then ? ? ?

i'd just spent my friday evening and saturday running about .. albeit doing nothing earth-moving, but still, i'd barely had time for MEtime... you know, simply lazing around the haus , flippin through the papers, enjoying my mug of nescafe, or just channel surfing!!

i'd tried not to procrastinate.. so while spending these weekend times with family and friends, i try my best to enjoy their company, and put away 'me-thoughts'. i try my best to not hurry them, to not hurry myself... i try my best to laugh with them, soak in the humor and easy-breeziness of it all... i try.

but when i find myself even making the effort to try, it simply brings home the message that something is not so right somewhere within..
nothing chronic, but still..
i guess i gotta get to the root of the problem, and figure out things before i look back and see it all a waste of time and age. . . trying.


a good rest. maybe that's all i need. and that is exactly what i'll allocate my sunday to.
oh btw, hav you guys heard of that guy who won the 48mil toto jackpot?
gosh... bet that'll solve all my problems huh ? ? ?
=D
