I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

Date: 2009-11-29 12:50 Subject: The universal theme Security: Public I am feeling sad Listening to Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillet - Lucky Tags: quotable quotes, reflections, theatre

This week I caught 2 shows.

One was called "The One Thing I Don't Have Right Now" and the other "Bulljit"
On the face of it, one is very obviously about L-O-V-E and the other not at all obvious about it.

There were a very many stories in the former about love and it includes all kinds. Food, family, home, love-hate relationships, departed loved ones, an analysis of love, how homosexuals deal with well-meaning relatives, and so on and so forth.

The latter was not so straight-forward. There were many anecdotes and charming stories of the past. There were passing mentions of alleged current events as well and some of it was a little self-indulgent. But the stories were heart-warming. It was about doing the right thing, thinking the right way, and in the end, it was about love. You get a sense of joy and warmth when he talks about family and maybe even a sheen during those moments. This is Jit Murad btw, doing "Bulljit" that is.

I turned 29 this month. During this time, I've experienced my fair share of these various versions of this particular emotion.The only one I haven't had yet would be the 'salah' ones. -_-"
But never say never right? =) Choices have been made, words have been said. Happiness a transient feeling, tears a passing moisture that fades. I'm still searching and from recent events, that search has to continue or I should just stop searching and wait.

So what is the point of this? I don't know really. I've lost my train of thought. I thought of railing at the fates, perhaps indulge in a little self-pity or even curse my foolishness but I've done it many times before and I'm tired of repeating myself.

Jit quoted Corinthians yesterday. I thought I'd do the same.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. 

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing. 

And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering, 
love is kind,
it is not jealous, 
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth 
 

It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.  

When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;

when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant. 

For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known. 

But now remains
 faith, hope, love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love.

"If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife"
song

Now that we've cleared that out of the way =)
So what's happened in the past 2 weeks?

Kuok Ching came by for lunch one day too.. =) always good to see old friends.

As some of you might know, it was my birthday. Now before the shock surprise disbelief sets in, just a few short notes.. I'm not yet 30.. and yeah that's essentially it. *grin*

So some of my colleagues actually took me out to dinner at this Taiwanese place over at SoHo (Solaris). I can't remember the name but the food's pretty yummy. I should have some pics somewhere.
And then there was dinner at Ah Yat Abalone Forum and that was a pretty nice dinner with the staff and my immediate family.
The following day was the one which was next door, Unique Seafood. I didn't bring the camera so I'm waiting on my nice friends to give me a copy of the pics. A few of us had coffee after that and that sorta concluded the celebration for that week.

My aunt also got me a cake while at the office so all in all, 3 cakes for this birthday.. =) Thanks to everyone who managed to celebrate it with me. Contrary to what some ppl might say on their birthdays, to me it IS a big deal.. =)
hehe

I can't quite remember offhand what I did on the sunday but I'm sure that there was something. Probably more coffee and then .. not sure

Monday me and yc went to meaty house? I think I got the name right. The bacon-y soup is most excellent there. Food's generally not bad either. yumm.. hmm.. now i'm feeling a tad hungry after talking about all them food. Oh yeah she bought me dinner.. yay! Thanks a lot yeok cheng. Meant a lot to me.
haha

tuesday, shen yi bought me dinner too at marco's pizza.. simple, easy, delicious, good company. Can la for birthday.. haha

wednesday had dinner with a friend @ marmalade's. agreeable company.. haha

ok.. I just noticed.. I ended each of those lines/paras with a haha.. what the?

thursday met up with hk + jade and ed + cam for some bkt at old klang road. it's the teochew style. doesn't sit so well with the hokkien in me. But the rest of the food was delicious and pretty good value overall.

Friday was the jaunt over to kuching.
Got a few stories. First one in not so many words
"come, we'll eat first. we have plenty of time."

after eating, go over to a monitor only to see 'COUNTER CLOSED'
zomg! had to go to counter 68 to get that sorted out but the plane was delayed ANYWAY.. =P

2nd story
"we've gotta go here and pick this person up and pick that thing up."

*slams the bonnet shut. Look of horror on the driver's face.*

"The keys are in the boot and there are no spare keys."

We eventually got a locksmith to come and 'steal' our car. It's not that hard to steal a car. He said it quite politely, please no picures. I'm guessing that these things are actually illegal.. all his tools and shit. But I snuck a picture anyway on my mobile phone but no faces =)

So,
We call this phenomenon 'pat-astrophe'. You may think it's murphy's law but you see, these things only happen when he's around.

For a dose of 'soojin-tism', you may refer to the following story

P says, "I've NEVER flew back on time from Kuching before. In all the times that I've flown, I've been delayed at least 2 hours."

P also said,"What the, they're actually flying on time this time?"

ta-da!

In between all that, there was a dinner and dance at the BCCK (Borneo Convention Center Kuching) which was organised by Studio 23.
19 performances in total. Most of it awesome.. =) the day time was just the final stuff to complete.
and played one boardgame as well before departing Kuching. Had a brief tour of the town center and I must say, does a town of Kuching's size require 2 city halls?
Can anyone say wastage? I can

Had dinner at Qba last night. Been a while since I last went. Food's still pretty good. =)
Who wants to go makan there with me? Wanna try something else.. ;)

Now I have 3 more dinners to collect.. =) and I'm all set for the year.. lol

Keeping it relatively short for 2 weeks worth.
orite then.

Date: 2009-11-05 22:55 Subject: As the clock winds down.. Security: Public I am feeling contemplative Listening to John Mayer - Stop This Train Tags: birthday, family, friends

on yet another year of existence. It is during this time of solitude that I look back on my 29th year of living.
It's been an eventful year.
There have been good times.
There have been not so good times.
The people who are around me, and the people who have left.

If I've never told you personally that you matter to me, then I apologise for my oversight.
If you can see this, know that you matter to me. Whether if it was a lesson learnt or an experience shared, your presence have added a thread into my tapestry.

To my family, though you may never truly figure out what drives me, what will still be foremost in my mind will still be that family is everything. Even if we drive each other up the wall, or feel like strangling each other, at the end of the day, we forgive and forget. Ok maybe we won't forget but we can certainly forgive.

To my friends, wherever you may be. I wish you all the best and I do hope that we will meet again. I might be a little demanding, a little obnoxious, definitely annoying, might even be a trifling distant and that's entirely my fault. I get distracted easily. =) But I do hope that you know that if you ever do need my help and it's within my abilities, I'll definitely be there for you. If it's not, I'll still be there to be the voice of reason.

One of you mentioned that I didn't have a wishlist this year. I don't usually make a list. I did that on a lark maybe because it makes it easier for people when you can define happiness by material things. For me, I don't really care for those things. I might whine about it from time to time but it's all just for fun. All I want for my birthday is to spend it in the company of those dear to me. It may not have always been the case but as you grow older, you begin to appreciate these things more and more as life and responsibility comes between us and suddenly years may go by without ever meeting. So sometimes, this is actually the harder request to fulfill.

And I am ever so grateful that we are friends. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for everything.
And in case anyone cares, if anyone is wondering,

what I want for my birthday

1. world peace
2. end to world hunger
3. see my 'goddaughter'
4. see you

can? =)

oh.. and to that other friend of mine, I'm still not a himbo.. truly. You can't really go wrong with world peace.. *grin*

cheers,


Thanks to Sharon for sharing this.. =)
I still dream.

Didn't end up eating that shortbread last night.. maybe some other time ler..
People don't seem to believe me when I say "It's alright.. " maybe it's the tone, or the look on my face when I say it.. lol
sigh.. how not to smirk? =P

I caught "This is it" with a few of my colleagues + prem and wwl.

I'd watch it at least the one time.. you get to imagine how great the show would have been. See the choreography, the special effects, the effort that they put in even if it was merely rehearsal and then there's the great meticulous attention to detail (also known as anal)

I thought a better song to end the whole documentary would have been his song "Gone Too Soon" though it's a little obvious but it is so apt. I'm not a fan but I really do think that this man is an icon. I remember buying his "Dangerous" CD. Singing along to "Heal the world" + all his other songs. He should have done that last show just to have a proper and fitting ending to his career. Let's not talk about his private life. I have no idea what's going on there. But truly his music has reached across generations. Will we ever find another that will come close?

"Like a Comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon"

Saturday night,
attended MACC. It was good stuff. Douglas Lim and Kuah JenHan were doing their thing. The other guy apparnetly had chicken pox so it became a 2 person act but no matter, DL actually went over the allotted time and it was just lots of laughs. There were some lows, some things which isn't really funny/decent to touch on but generally they got it right.  Among the highlights "You can why I cannot?", "Yellow" and lots more.
After that, headed to Alvin's new place. That night was the night. He proposed and she accepted. There was a little bit of shenanigans in between and a successful surprise attempt by some of us at the new place. Congrats you 2. We played a bit of Xbox while we were there. DoA ftw!.. lol. had a bit of supper after that

Sunday, probably didn't do lunch. met pat, ken and jo-lyn for a movie at 1U, caught Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs in 3D. Then had dinner with ken at dragon-i at the curve. I am so uber-forgetful that I actually left the router on the chair when we left the restaurant.. le sigh.

monday night - watched borat at YC's place.. maybe not such a good idea to sit through it..

tuesday night - watched the proposal also at YC's place.. much lighter fare when compared with the one yesterday.

wednesday night - had some svedis meatballs with Kath at Ikea: home of swedish innovation.. no really.

thursday accompanied YC to makan @ kopitiam

friday was at Central Market for the KL singsong with Pat and WWL which is actually more precisely @ annexe gallery (good stuff) Had dinner before that at the OM cafe. It's pretty decent. Will try the other stuff there when I get the chance. Had yumcha with WWL after that.

Saturday was a pretty slack day. Coffee after work + Dinner and Jazz at Alexis Ampang later that night. In attendance, Jo-Lyn, Joa Quim, U-Ken? and Nicola? U-Kidd and Phay Wen. My lasagne was okay but it was a mite small. I was left feeling hungry after that.
Pretty tired though.. longish night the night before and I don't like the singer. He didn't even remember the lyrics of the songs that he was gonna sing. I mean come on.. wth sheesh.. The band was much better. much much

Sunday early morning Karaoke at Neway in 1U.. All of a sudden, I seem to be in 1U a fair bit. After K, walked around a bit, bought my boots... A jungle trekking we will go.. =D
w00t. then had dessert and went home soon after. Ended up in Kiara for coffee after a short while with Jo and Ean and then I had dinner with parents and some relatives.. easy sunday night.

Oh and MU won.. all is well.. =P

Now I'm waiting for dinner.. I've heard a lot about that strawberry shortcake.. I'm gonna go makan it later.. yay =)

I stayed mostly @ home
I have to stay off physical activity again for another month.. damn stitches.

Caught "I have a date with Spring." It's good. They sing in Mandarin and they talk in Cantonese.
If you haven't seen it yet, you should. The run ends on the 1st of November which gives u slightly over a week from now.
Thanks to Yeok Cheng for organising.
Also there, Boon, Gary, Xiao Jin and birthday girl Wai Leng.
we did an impromptu happy birthday song in the.. 'lobby' of KL Pac after the show.. hehe

Was @ Leonardo's last night and met a bunch of people. There's Rick, Nicky? Felix, Christine and ... one more.. The rest were not first time(s) .. hmm.. sentence structure is odd here
Jo-Lyn, Joa Quim, Karen, Sook Mun, Su Lyn. Nice seeing the latter few again.

Tact tak-boleh jadi .. HOW!?!?!?!?! Cursed to be forever tactless.. or quiet. Hehe
Conundrum..

Met Joo Bee for dinner one of the nights @ Penang Village and caught up some. Her stories are way more interesting than mine.. lol
Also had dinner with Cindy last week to celebrate her bday.. food was pretty good. Had a good long talk.

past 2 weeks
me no no remember muchie but in the end, most of it will be here.

There was "Wacky Bar" which had a pretty large cast. All in all a pretty good performance.
Each with their own story to tell. Caught that with Xiao Jin and Shen Yi

Caught Surrogates with another bunch of ppl.. Movie was so-so.
Jo-Lyn, Joa Quim, Pat, Shen Yi, Xiao Jin and .. Azlin?
Had mamak with a few of them at SS2 mamak. Haven't been there in yonks.

Oh Heng Wai's finally left.
I don't think 3 times a week worth of Mahjong can make it..
lol... too lazy la these days.

Last weekend, we celebrated Sook Yee's birthday over at Frangipangi. I didn't make dinner but I was there for the post-dinner stuff.
Thanks to Sue-Ann for making all the necessary arrangements. Cupcakes and dinner reservation and all that. It was a nice place. =)

Also in this week, my first futsal session in 3 weeks. It was a good run out. Made a lot of assist and only 1-2 goals to my name.

Oh also attended one theatre thing (It was a musical recital) over at the NEW Actor's Studio location. For some odd reason though, I had my mind fixed on 'The Mall' as Lot 10 for which I'm still getting grief over.

"How do you get there huh?"
"Take the lift up at 'Dome'."
"Ok"

"Excuse me, where is 'Dome'?"
"We don't have a 'Dome' here sir, only a "Starbucks"
o_O

That's how I figured out that I was at the wrong place. Sigh. Actually not really. The realisation only hit me like.. 2 mins later.

The recital was pretty damn good. Only let down were the mics which kept dying. The acoustics in the place was pretty good as well.
Had some mamak session after that with WWL, Wendy, Kat and Boon.

Had lunch with YC at Cristang on a Saturday. Food was good. We skipped the soup as per Joa's suggestion. I ordered the 'porcupine', a P3 burger (we no like petai) and also a baconrib ambila curry which was the special of the day. Everything was good and there's quite a few more items on the menu there that we were thinking of giving a go so .. probably be going back.
It's non-halal btw and the prices are reasonable. Parking is ample as Avenue 8 is still pretty dead.

Had paintball today after a 6? month hiatus. Borrowed Eu Jin's marker.. man it's heavy.. lol. It's a sweet market but could have been better with a harness for the marker.. so heavy..
Got up at 7 this morning and actually woke up at 3.30am. It was raining pretty heavily. Rain + Jungle = MUD.. bleh
had a bit of breakfast before heading to the venue. Paintball Valley in Taman Botani (Bukit Cerakah) is the alternative name I think.
We were there till 5+. There's ONE video that MK took of Doug getting taunted. It's already on FB.. hehe.
I am exhausted.. lol. Now I have to figure out how to clean Eu Jin's marker.

I'm already done with Week 3 of the program. No difference with teh midriff yet.. Food already generally cut down already. but still nothing! Also doing weights at the gym .. how la.. no difference. So demotivating.

I think I will do that 3.5km run. After all, it's the time for doing different things

so yeah..
that's enough words for now.

BORING!!!

then the MU vs Sunderland match

My 2nd check up came back A-ok. I have 25/25 on my right eye and slightly higher on my left.. not sure what the exact number is.
Now if only that blood red patch will go away.. right now I can do crazy, rabied look REALLY well.. REALLY..
I have started to go back to the gym after the all clear and next week, I'll start going for futsal as well.. w00t.. I feel pumped.. haha

now that that's out of my system, let's see what else can I bore you with..
I am absolutely enjoying this song by Uncle Kracker - Smile. Listening to it makes me smile.. honest ;)

I've also begun on my workout thing after some pushy pushing by Olle.
Currently I'm at week 2 day 2, tomorrow I'll be doing Day 3 - 18, 20, 15, 15, 23
yea.. here's to eventually actually seeing some actual results.. one day.. hehe

Have sort of reacquainted myself with my Wii as well over the weekend
hmm..
The coming weeks seems pretty exciting
Rookie paintball session, Treasure hunt, Lots of theatre action..
Just an FYI, Actor's Studio is now in Lot 10 on the 8A floor.. I don't know how that works but STARTING 11th of Oct for a period of 1 week, they will be running free one time shows which looks pretty damn good. The theatre is also bigger now compared to the last one at BSC with seating for 250 and some stage with a particular characteristic which I can't recall.. =P

Then there's some KL song-writer thing which also looks good. Then the up-coming trip to Kuching with Pat and Julian. East Malaysia here I come.. never been there. Do I need to have special preparation?

Met up with Prem as well. Gosh it's been so long since I last saw her.. She's a 'serious drinker' ahahaha.. she'll never live this down.
emm..
I think that's it for my post =)
any longer and certain ppl will have fainting spells.. hehe

Oh I recently received a t-shirt as a souvenir from Cambodia.. Let's just say to wear it, my 200situps program will have to be effective first.. =D Hopefully by my birthday it won't look too out of place.. the t-shirt that is.. =P

I know I was thinking to myself today

"It is too beautiful a day to come together for such a sad occasion."

Today was the day that we sent off Aunty Oon on her next journey. I can't for a moment imagine what Eric and his brother not to mention Uncle Oon are going through right now but at least aunty is no longer in pain. She fought the good fight delaying the onset for as many years as she did.
She was a very nice lady that I had an opportunity to speak to a few more occasions than I would compared to the other friends of my dad's. That's because Eric was my housemate in Melbourne. So when they came to visit along with my uncle and aunt, she'd have a few words for me.

When I came back, whenever we met, she'd never fail to stop to talk to me, to enquire how I've been as well as chiding me for not settling down.. heh

Now she's gone and all we have are whatever scraps of memories that we can come up with.

It's a sad thing when illnesses take loved ones away. Or when you see them in pain and you're helpless to help them.

Rest in peace Aunty. Keep an eye out for us k?

A new business was opening, and one of the owner’s friends sent flowers for the occasion. But when the owner read the card with the flowers, it said. “Rest in Peace”
The owner was little upset and called the florist to complain.
After he had told the florist about the obvious mistake, the florist said, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rater than getting angry, you should imagine this:

Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a note saying, “Congratulations on you new location.”

Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even

She finally met a man that's gonna put her 1st
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.

Hopped over to see the little monster.. The mommy and her weren't home.. sigh. Had a bit of bbq courtesy of BK's spanking new BBQ set while I was there. "It grills, it broils, it pan-fries, it bakes, wow.. "

wednesday was the beginning of work. Not sure what I did at night.. lol

Thursday was the half day for my 2nd evaluation then the stag night.
We went to Neway Puchong and say songs until 1 am then went back to Horngkang's place for RockBand.. HONEST!

Friday was the operation.. My 2nd eval came back positive and I went right ahead with it. =)
I slept the night through until the next morning. The procedure is not something I want to do again.. To those of you who've done it.. "Give me some passive resistance" -_-"
And I think the fact that the night before I had barely any sleep contributed to me being extremely sensitive to light. bleagh.. not good when they need to have very very bright lights shining into your eyes to make sure they are headed in the right direction.

Saturday morning was the big day for Horng Kang. I gave him an almighty scare when I gave him a call at 7.30am and asked him to get someone to give me a ride there.. =P
I was the designated driver for the .. bridal car.
Got there, played the games (drink vinegar, eat bitter gourd, some push-up/banana eating going on as well, very spicy chilli tuna on crackers, some odd mixture that we had to drink, singing pokerface at her door... and a few others. Those 'sisters' were very materialistic. Nearly every other word that came out was like 'lai see' *rolls eyes*
There should be some picture up on FB. I'll see if I can snag some later. Everything went without a hitch. There were at least 5 photographers + 1 video guy. I think all in, there were about 18-20 'brothers' and about 10 'sisters'. But we were a pretty tame bunch... haha
There were naturally a lot of pictures taken. Between all the photographers and all. There were even some taken in the gym at the clubhouse.. lol. The day was getting a little warm.

After everything, I went for my check-up and then headed to the office. went home after that. Night time was the pre-wedding thingie at my cousin's.
She's also getting married and the dinner is tonight. sigh
Horngkang n Jade's dinner is also tonight. Guess who gave me the earlier notice.. =P

Here's to a succeesful night.
Congrats to the married ppl
