off to the north

its three in the a.m. and four hours from now... i have to wake up and start a long day's journey... lack of sleep is gonna affect me somewhat but let's pray everythin's safe and sound at the end of the day... oh well... today (or rather yesterday) was a packed day too... and yup... i didn't have enough sleep the previous night either... too much nonsense-thinkin' i guess... well... there's been a bit of everythin' throughout the day... a bit of disappointment... a bit of enjoyment... quite a bit of driving here and there... a bit of packing... a bit of shifting... a little heartbrokenness... a little laughter... and of course... with LITTLE sleep... so the day i have been waiting for has come... i need some rest now... let's hope the next few months will be great :) let's be a little optimistic shall we?

wine and dine

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
a cause for celebration... the end of my finals... ;) we dined at friday's... and afterwards my friends finished a bottle of martini which i had to miss out on sadly... oh well... cos i had to adjourn somewhere else... oh what a pity... i think the martini would have been more enjoyable than the tea i had elsewhere...

reunion

had some kind of a reunion dinner with the bunch of ipoh utm-ers... which was pretty cool considering we've never really gone out all together before... and finally we've found the opportunity to do so... how time flies... one of them will be graduating this year and it only seems like yesterday that we were all freshies... hmmm... maybe not exactly yesterday but you get the picture... i can still remember freshman year when a few of us will take the bus downtown on weekends and hang out... haha... now that most of us have cars... we kinda hang out less together... haha... but it's alright though... great time to meet up before everyone goes separate ways for their internship or holidays... come tomorrow... my fourth year officially ends... along with my final paper... time to revise... no more reminiscing...

ain't enough

there's a danger in loving somebody too much... as the song goes... well it's very true... both my friend and i were ranting about our own issues and i concluded that you'll just have to let go when it's not heading into the right direction... cos being overconcerned when the other person couldn't care less never has any benefits... but we all still walk down the same path in the name of love... don't we...
i have saturday to look forward to... cos that's when i'll start my long drive home... with my good friend to accompany me... already we have planned where to stop over along the way for some chow... when i finally do i'll probably post up the pix... and if all goes as planned... it might be a two-car convoy :)
robotics... the final hurdle for this rollercoaster of a term... which i've managed to pull through anyway... well... it's all in the head/heart really... if u can set your mind straight then it'll all be good... but it's easier said than done of course... generally people are tempted to follow their heart even when their mind tells them otherwise... on the contrary... robots follow their programmed instructions faithfully... setting the mood for some robotic revision i am... but i think i'll end up procrastinatin' till tomorrow... :)

five

five more days and then i can escape from the mess i created for myself here... i need a change of environment... meet my old friends... meet new people... do somethin' new... hang out at the beach... whatever... so lookin' forward to a change... a new place means new distractions... new sights... a fresh start in a way... although the ten-week internship stint is not a permanent job but nevertheless... i think i need to refocus cos i've just been too crazy over... hmmm... i need a break... run away... leave it all...

20060423

 

ain't seen

no, i ain't seen love like that
and i got people telling me to let her go
don't let it turn you around
tomorrow's comin' and you'll never know
the one that you lost may be found

mr. big - ain't seen love like that

another birthday celebration at midnight... :) party first... study later... april babies are all having bday celebrations in uni this time around cos for the past three years it has always been during the holidays... a much-needed distraction... and an excuse for some beer... hehe...

 

silicon

just wasted the whole day after my first paper... and i haven't started revising for saturday morn's one... procrastination to the max... one sem's syllabus in approximately twelve hours... hmmm... ;) in less than ten days i should be back home safely... so looking forward to it... just a week's worth of rest and being around family... one week which i should really cherish... cos there's no place like home... i should probably retire early (0230hrs?) and start revising first thing when i wake up... let's hope my determination and discipline don't go missing... it's hard to concentrate at times when you're hit by sudden pangs of negativity... :( one down... four to go...

so much

so much to cover for the next ten days...
so many phases in the past five months...
so much she doesn't know about...
so many words i didn't say...
so much to be grateful for...
so many things i still wish for...
so much to look forward to...
so many dreams unrealized...

silent sorrow

she will never know...
all the sleepless nights...
all the tearless cries...
face down on the pillow...
smothered by sorrow...

missing her every minute...
he doesn't want her to know...
inside he shall keep it...
for another tomorrow...

 

resurrection

it was just a casual remark but to me it meant a lil more... to me it meant that she realized somethin' i knew all along... it meant that she didn't forget what i'd told her before... it meant that she still cared a little at least... at first it felt nice to hear those words from her... but then if it took so long for it to dawn upon her... the situation is quite clear... and it doesn't feel so nice after all...

has the sun set?

has the sun set on the beautiful day we had?
are memories all that's left of what we shared?
was it me? or was it you?
the sky has changed to black from blue

maybe you were just too tied up
the many times you stood me up
the past is gone, let it be
to my future i hold the key

quaint

wed... had dinner at old town kopitiam... the name of the shop explains the decor and theme of the outlet... as well as the cuisine... and btw... the toast bread u see is actually an order that arrived at our table by mistake... and since i had a cam in hand i took a snapshot of it before it was returned... :P i am still trying to comprehend the full intrinsic meanin' of gubra... and the message that the director was trying to convey through the potrayal of the lives of two seemingly unrelated groups of people... and the show definitely could have used some subtitles for the sake of the non-trilingual majority... it's good friday...

bottled

there is so much bottled up inside all of us... sometimes it's hard to find a way to release them and let go... is it better to stay silent or to express the truth? it's a tough call indeed... would it be better to suffer in silence and keep things the way they are... or to take the risk of rocking the boat... indecision... i think i'm better at bottling up now than ever before... somehow i hope that this turns out well... and i can finally suppress everything completely... exams are just around the corner and i can't really afford to be distracted and down in the dumps... if it's true love... it must be free... and hard as it may be... if it's time to let go... let it be...
love suffers long and is kind love does not envy love does not parade itself is not puffed up does not behave rudely does not seek its own is not provoked thinks no evil does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth bears all things believes all things hopes all things endures all things love never fails 1 corinthians 13:4-8

fri on mon

the set meal in tgif was worth it... not to mention extremely large... the dishes on the left column were those of my set... and those on the right were my friend's... left set: fried calamari, fish & chips, triple choc fudge brownies right set: sesame jack chicken strips, citrus fish fillet with rice, some choc fudge with ice-cream dessert and a huge glass of mudslide cocktail to wash it all down!

day of rest

after the ordeal... and a long day out on saturday to city square, danga bay, church, jj and ayub... i decided to catch up on some sleep on sunday... a day of rest after all... an interestin' site for some of you out there who survive on alcohol... and others who are less dependent... here it is... its three... i should be in bed...

the great escape

my night in short... 0930... mcd 1030... bus station 1130... mcd this would have been just another night for me... until the decision to visit a pub in sutera... 0115... b pub 0200... police raid 0300... urine test -> positive... handcuffed... police truck 0330... detained in narcotics dept 0440... freed without bail Image hosting by Photobucket
had there not been divine intervention and persistency on my friend's part in convincing the team of officers... i'm sure i'd be inside for days or weeks at end while waiting for the more accurate second round of lab tests... more on it here... i don't know how it turned out positive... a sickness? added ingredients in food? i am curious to know... and for the record... no i don't do drugs... after being cuffed and locked... and unsure of the period of detainment and outcome in the future... nothing beats the feeling of walking away... and taste freedom in the air... things could have been much worse if the officers were uncooperative and turned a deaf ear to our pleas... what would become of me then? it's a shuddering thought...

string

i can't be hangin' on to a string forever it's a matter of time before i come crashing down it's hard to walk away from the memories when i don't know why they've become history putting in so much effort and concern has yielded nothing but a cold shoulder why is it so hard to be a little nicer? aren't we worth much more than this?

s.o.s.

help me face my worst fear help me get through the night help me have peace of mind help me learn to be still pull me from this anguish free me from this bondage save me from this confusion breathe life into me again
 

losing grip

what if the cracks were due to gripping too tightly? holding on to something more tightly so that it wouldn't slip away isn't always the solution... for it might just crack and break under pressure... as in the case of an egg... but how would i know if the grip is too tight or too loose? either way all would be lost... or maybe there was never much to lose in the first place... if only things were simpler... and straightforward... but how often is it easy in life? losing grip... losing everything... that would be the worst... other people have different opinions than mine... i am more pessimistic... but i should know best... or is that just what i think? i don't believe there were signs... but others believe otherwise... how can i travel the extra mile uphill when i keep on sliding down? there is so much weight on my back that i'll have to unload some off here... i wish everything was still going forward unlike now... somehow i don't have high hopes but i'm still hoping against odds they say... it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all... that's probably what makes us human... but the losing part must also be one of the worst times of one's life... but if it is part and parcel of human relationships, there's no escaping it... to live in a solitary shell would be far worse i think... there's no escaping the blood, sweat and tears... everything needs effort... failure must be faced with composure and closure... a rough journey to traverse... but i sure enough have to do it...
 

bond of friendship

peaks and valleys

i'm not really good in interpersonal relationships i guess... somehow i can't maintain friendships as how i would like them to be... i guess i'm not the only one... well... there are always some points when you're extremely close to a friend but after a while... circumstances somehow change and before you know it... you guys have drifted apart... it's happened so many times since i was a kid... up till now... but what can be done? i guess this is just a natural occurence but sometimes... you'd wish it doesn't happen... but sadly it does happen to me anyway... whether it's an individual or a group of buddies... somehow you can't juggle your time and balance your priorities so well that you'll have time for everyone... and that's when the inevitable gap forms... i'm hoping and praying that not another break occurs... cos i can already see the cracks

grey sky evening

Image hosting by Photobucket as i'm typing this the sky's overcast... and i can hear thunder in the distance... my roomie earlier told me about some jog plans... guess it won't work out today... well the wind blowing into my room is much cooler now... so... that's a relief...
one more month from now... things will be quite different... to what extent i'm unsure though... what i'm saying seems redundant... cos circumstances change everyday obviously... but i'm sure some of you at least will know what i'm trying to say... well... i have a tendency of not makin' myself clear... so if no one does und... nvm... tomorrow by avril is currently playin'... a fitting song for my current state...

sail

as he sits by the pier she is no longer here the masts were raised the ships have sailed silently he reflects on the future all forlorn a thousand years couldn't rewind it back to the start a thousand tears would not have moved her heart slowly he tries to swallow the bitter truth and sorrow
 

evergreen

two three four... tell the people what she wore... much to my surprise a friend just told me that she's into all these oldies... haha... i guess she would enjoy my dad's cd n karaoke video collection... it's a pretty hot afternoon and to make it worse... i went to have laksa for lunch at the roadside stall in tmn u... and the whole world knows how spices make me sweat... slackin'... relaxin'... enjoyin' all the time... nevertheless... somethin's missin'...

dusk to dawn

it's been a while since i hung out from dusk to dawn... today was one of such days...
was in mcd24 yet again around 1130 last night with a few friends... hung out for a couple of hours... made a trip to jb downtown and just took a walk around... and ended up in mcd24 again till 8 in the morning today... as i sat for hours chattin' away... i watched as the sky turned from black to blue... i was there as the crowd in mcd slowly dwindled from gangs of nightbird youth to senior citizens and familes having breakfast... coke... fries... sundae... chicken... fish... i had 'em all as the night progressed to day... i was even showin' my fellow guitarist some scales on the guitar at one point... and this is how i spent the first third of my saturday...
