Short & Sweet, Brief & Bold, Concise & Complete
I’m back in the saddle again. Giddy up here we go!
It’s been a while. I’m not gonna try making excuses for the lack of post here. The real culprit is ME! yeah, that’s right….ME. Taking responsibility for my own laziness. It’s been busy, yeah but not that busy that I couldn’t blog. I was just plain and simple lazy. Oh mind you, the spark and high I get from blogging is still firing in my blood. The never-ending train of thought is still running. Unfortunately, the other bigger spark in my blood which is procrastination & laziness is a bigger one. Guess which one wins? No hints needed right?
I’ve said it many times and I don’t think I wanna repeat it again. I was gonna try blogging with a new style. Shorter and Sweeter……Brief and Bold…….Concise and Complete. For all thats worth, I do try …….. I do fail …… I don’t give up though. That explains why I’m back and still around Y.
I’m still in Singapore and slowly fitting in and getting use to working and living here. Much to plan for the future, the rest of my live is still ahead of me. It’s still uncertain but viable options are available. Well much of August 2006 went by. I can’t even remember what happened, it just came and went. Either there was nothing that happened, or my dang memory has failed on me and signs of aging are finally cathing up with me. Bloody hell, its way to early……must be all the alchohol that’s slowly killing off the brain cells. Damn it!
September was more a different story. Celebrated my Dearest Mum & Bro’s birthdays. I went back Malaysia 3 times and 2 weeks in a row. 1st week to take my visiting Indon friend, Lilian on a day trip to Melaka. We went there around noon and came back in the night. We reached there as A’famosa resort was about to close, so that was a bust. Ended up going to town and buying food & cookies at Tan Kim Hock. Followed by chicken rice ball dinner at jonker walk. After dinner, we just practically walked around jonker street. Before leaving, we went for satay celup. It was pouring heavily and the place was packed like shit. I hate it when they give priority to bigger groups. Stupid Singaporeans, don’t you guys know that putting a pack of tissue on the table does not reserve it. It may work in kiasu Singapore but hell it doesn’t work here in Malaysia. Lucky I was in a good mood, else I won’t tolerate that kind of stupid kiasu behaviour. 2nd week was to attend a Malaysia colleague’s wedding. It was nice to see the rest of the Malaysia gang again. Some may have left but it was good to see them again. It’s been months. The dinner was great and the groom was accomodating. He actually drank 2 glasses of alchohol, OMG! (My colleague does not drink you see, never-ever…..not even a glass of wine or beer). Hats off to you Andrew.
October was my best month. Not because it’s my birthday, but because I celebrated it with my gal. We planned for a week of in Bali. Ahhh the sun, sea, and sand. IT WAS GREAT!!! Some people wondered what the hell would I do in Bali for a week. Suffice to say, I spent it and not a moment was I bored. However, I might not be going back to Bali for a while though. I was there from 6-13 and celebrated with locals the annivesary of the Bali bombing tragedy. Accomodation was in a Villa with a private pool. In brief, we saw most of the tourist sites. We went sailing on a catamaran yatch. We went to see dolphins in the deep ocean. We went underwater in a submarine to see the marine life. We went banana boat riding & snorkelling. We tasted the local "babi guling". We did a lot of stuff. I’ll try to blog about it more in another post. The pictures should be up soon.
October was also the month where 3 celebrations for 3 races. Mid-Autumn festival for the Chinese, Hari Raya Aidilfitri for the Muslims, and Deepavali for the Indians. It’s a great thing to be living in a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-religious society. Harmony comes from the respect that each has for the other.
Lastly, October 31st is also where Western society celebrates Halloween. It’s quite a following here with all the costumes and themed parties. Not to mentioned the decorations too. I got a bite of the Halloween bug too. Bought a devil’s horns and the signature devil’s pitchfork. Time to get evil and party S.
There are things that go bump in the night……so Trick or Treat!!!!
