Another Typical Day (and Night)

-
Not much to write about.  Today's run is 10.2 kms in 68 mins.  I did one rep of 25 on my shoulders my triceps, chest and legs.  Spent about almost two hours in the gym.

Running without my headphones again, and I'm starting to get annoyed.  During my last kilometer of my run, and indonesian guy changed the music to dangdut.  Somehow my running technique, my determination, my energy suddenly drained.  Okay, I have nothing against dangdut music, there are times when I like to hear them, but me and dangdut, just don't mix.

Before that, there were hard rock, metal and techno played in the stereo, which didn't bothered me at all, even I'm not into that kind of music, but they have that particular beat, which is upbeat and gave some sort of enthusiasm in my run.  I really need a headphone soon.  I'm going to ask my 'brother' to get me some cheap ones whilst waiting my new headphones which I have yet to decide.  But it looks most likely that I'm going to buy the Shure SE530PTH (Push to Hear) and it cost a bomb, an arm and a leg and probably my liver too... It is worth US$499.  Yeah, very steep price for a pair of headphones, but the reviews are great, having to own a Shure headphones myself, no regrets so far.  

Push to Hear is the first that I've heard of its kind.  Shure headphones uses noise isolation i.e. it isolates the ambient noise totally rather than typical headphones which uses noise cancellation.  You may notice that sometimes even you're on your headphones, you can still hear other people's conversation right?  That is noise cancellation.  So anyway Shure headphones, fit snugly into your ear, and if someone wants to speak to you, you'd have to pull you headphones out.  And it is such a hassle to put it back, not that it takes an effort to do so, but to get the full benefit of the noise isolation, you need to push it back into your ear.  It is such a hassle when you are running, and when you ears are perspiring i.e. damp.  So push to hear has a microphone, so that when someone is speaking to you, you don't need to pull our your headphones, just press the button, and the sound of the music will mute, and you can hear the person who is talking to you.  Don't you think that's such a neat idea right?

So anyway, I'm still thinking, and thinking... it's already in my 'shopping cart' but didn't have the heart to click checkout.  C'mon guys, help me here...  Any thoughts?

I'm still missing something...  I feels more like something has been taken away from me.  But what it is, I have no clue at all...  I need that book again, I hate myself when I get attached to form i.e. materialsm, rather than looking inertly to my own being.  So anyway, I'm kindda tired now, I'll leave you to that, until then guys, take care, be safe and Adios peeps...

Random Rant, Update?

-
I don't know why. Here I am at 2.34am drinking left over "teh tarik" from today's open house at my parents. And decided all of a sudden that I wanna write something on my long abandoned blog. I have been clicking on the links that I have at the left side of my blog and it seems that most people have already abandoned their blog, by either cancelling them or not updating them.  I suppose it seems that writing a blog is no longer appealing and cool to some.  There are some that are still strong writing their rants. I am merely speculating, that now media is so easily discover-able that people are afraid to be on the accidental spotlight.  There have been few instances that blogs got discovered by their thoughts and suddenly everyone hates the writer.  And perhaps, again speculating that people are afraid to really say what is on their mind.  Naming and shaming is kindda "in" thing.  Especially with the freedom people can do with Whatsapp.  Just link it, yo

Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to Me Warning: This will be a long read. There are a lot of things in my mind which I wanted to express. Today is my birthday, and now I am three decades old. Time has travelled so fast in front of my eyes. And today, I look back my life and reflect my past. And will also discuss my years to come, insyaallah. First and Foremost, on the eve of my birthday was the Sixty Second DJ competition which ran align with the best 914. Best 914 is a singing contest where the contestants are selected from a radio show which they called in and sang with a minus one song. And now, yesterday they sang really really well and they sounded like professional singers. It's amazing that they are just singers who just sang along in the radio, for some they have been into a few singing contest. Then it was our turn. I was the fifth contestant, to go and face the crowd. It was nerve wreaking looking at what looks like about a thousand people watching you. I did what I can, and I did it wi

Tolerances and Compromises

-
I'm half angry and half sulking with my OH . Sometimes my OH have this ability to make me feel needy and clingy. Sometimes I feel that I'm always the one giving and giving, thus making me feel just like that. It is as if, I'm holding all my cards out for everyone to see for the sake of love. And I'm only making a great fool of myself. Where does that fine line starts or stop? Where would you draw the line from doing something for someone your love and doing anything and everything for someone you love? As days go by, sometimes I feel I'm doing the latter. I'm only writing my frustration here, not to belittle my beloved OH , I just need to release this anger that I am having at the moment. So what was this all about? Without elaborating too much on the matter, I asked to be together for one night and do what I wanted to do and then, I got a quick turn down. Purely because my OH don't feel like it. I've done my part of reluctance for the sake o
