it's December after all...

tonight.. after so many december nights,
i'd stopped by facebook like how i do every night..
and i see faces of joy and postings of celebrations.

birthdays, births, proposals, marriages..
dong zhi dinners, early christmas celebrations..
holidays, and year end vacation shots..
it's all positive, it's all good..

i've been preoccupied.. for the entire 23 days of december,
with work, i.e. Currentjob.
couldn't help it, still can't.
i've missed things.. this december.

this week at woek is extra woeful..
a vital colleague is away on leave, i am left mostly to my own.
3 working days to pull through before he comes back..
everyone wants their chairs & tables before the big xmas eve feast.
i've made it past 2 so far, not entirely unscathed.. -.-"
i can't wait for my turn now

really, i can't wait for my turn now.
merry x'mas.. & happy new year.. ;)



another itch scratched...

Happy 2014~

It's about half a month to the new year

This is spontaneous

It's about 17 days to the new year

I have a year end trip coming up

But I'm also in the middle of something new

A challenging New job

I am one month old at Currentjob 

Bless me

I have this wall in front of me

Imposed by non other than yours truly

I can't help it

The nightmares and obligations to do well

Then again, it's only 17 days to the new year

It's only 17 days left for you to chart whatever your "to dos" in 2014

Don't let life pass you by

Think! Hurry!!

But then, at the end of the day,

You have only yourself to answer to

Happy 2014🎉

And happy new year..🙏

This weekend..

found some new music on spotify.. It's all good

hang out day with mom & dad at the mall(s). Even dad got himself a piece of heattech

started the "dream book". Marrie would be proud

streets in HK came alive. the wars of the world

ashes & plumes in Japan.. mom nature venting out

this just came in. Attacked by Odin in my Samurai Siege game. 

It's all due to time. It's all in due time.

Bummer?

I'd like to think.. That the nice things would come to you when you aren't expecting them..

Likewise, the not so nice things would come and catch you off guard when you're anything but ready.

This is life.

Beautiful indeed...

how do you go about this somberly?

War of the worlds.. and our poor plane becomes a thing of collateral damage..

ill-fated they say.. but who truly knows what really happened?

Conspiracy theories aside, it is hard to not feel sad for the nation, for our national carrier.. 

This is when the country is still reeling from the recent tragedy that is MH370

As shock and confusion sink in.. It became obvious that this is a thing much bigger than being just "a malaysian thing".. more than half of those who perished were Dutch, not to mention the various few nations

This is truly a tragedy that transcends borders.. 

It's no good comparing the Dutch and the Chinese.. likewise it's no use comparing the MH17 to the MH370 tragedies.. Equally saddening, that's what it is.

It is most unfortunate that there is no survivor from both tragedies

It is most unfortunate that my country is now to be known rather infamously for reasons less coveted

tell me..

what's cool?

no, seriously, what's cool?

going bonkers at work and realized I'm suddenly curious with what's cool?

what's cool to you?

a great boss?

a fantastic partner?

a happy family that's yours?

a glorious single life?

paying for your own stuffs?

a pay-all hubby?

a baby?

a full marathon? (that's 42km mind you)

a jet setting work / travel lifestyle?

volunteer work with animals?

underprivileged kids? or adults?

concerts?

k pop?

g dragon??😆

Instagram?

traffic jams?

a song you like?

that neighbor from the other office?

clocking out at 6?

mesut ozil? .. or muller?

another holiday?

what's cool?

🛀

peculiar~

closing the eyes seems like a chore tonight..

it's past one in the morning and yet my mind's too alive for this hour 

but it's a weekday.. well, midweek to be fair

why? the flurry of thoughts?

too much feeding of the mind I guess.. the sights and sounds from the internet..

and the fact that it's kick off soon .. brazil2014⚽️

but really.. I can't seem to put a reason to it

I'll be dragging meself off the bed come morning. . .

sigh..

the world is abuzz tonight..

with the latest press conference by the PM confirming the state that is MH370 now.

heartfelt responses and shares on the social network, no doubt overwhelmed by the epicness of the tragedy, I get.

the urge to share out the news first-hand to everyone else, okay, that I get too..

but even at times like these, there will still be fools around, blinded by so much ignorance..

sigh... the world is abuzz tonight.. imagine the amount of data traversing through the miles of fibre optics across land and sea..

I had not intended to put my 2 cents down tonight.. 

but still, angered by the ignorance of some, I just couldn't help it..

I hold dear my country, flaws and all.. 

this was after all, a very unfortunate turn of event.. R.I.P.

"all right, good night."

MH370.. Day#17

Rest In Peace...

a case of bookfuq

.. when you've mulled over almost three quarters on an entire 600pages book in an afternoon plus the afterhours.. and find the main characters dead like two pages before the epilogue. . . wouldn't that make you want to tear out the pages too??#%@!!

a revelation.. but then again, maybe not

If the human mind can be so simply pacified with pure logic and common sense, 

There would be no such thing as emotion .. and the onward despair, or happiness it brings.

Computers and programming languages exist in such a way that is no-nonsense If, Else logic

But humans are no computer brains

Emotions come into play

So does stubbornness and persistence.. even resistance

Which sometimes make some things quite simple turn into very complicated affairs

But that is exactly what makes us human

déjà vu in dreams

Déjà vu even in my dreams? 

That particular moment when I realized my dreams are somewhat a continuity!

Like how different acts in a movie would, in all it's full & vivid colors too!

Gosh.. this is really a subconscious play of my mind.. It has to be

But what's more astonishing even to myself is: .. the intricacy of the plot, the additional characters, and the full cinematography like rich visuals. 

It's becoming a blur now, but still I remember wanting to capture one scene in my dream with the phone... 

freakish.

where'd you go, bernadette

this is like, about 4 months onward from my last reading spree.. and I'm glad to be reading again.

I'm glad that it's rainy again, and I've got the earpods stuck in with Clazziquai playing again..

4 months onward from my days of indulgence.. and the onward job hunt (not exactly a hunt either) and the nerve wrecking fitting in that followed, ..

this is really therapeutic..

"..that's right, you're bored. And I'm going to let you in on a little secret about life. You think it's boring now? Well, it only gets more boring. The sooner you learn it's on you to make life interesting, the better off you'll be."

(it's on You to)Make.It.Happen.

regardless of whether it's January, or July... : )
