Quickie On Valentine's

-
In the midst of two men snoring, I write this after watching the second half of Ip Man, Bolt (a computer generated animation) and The Duchess.

I'm quite sleepy as it is, but I guess, I can spare a little time to write something.  Today's Valentine's Day, and love is abundant for most couples.  I for one, am not celebrating it, not because of the absence of another half, but I celebrate love every single day.  Single being the operative word here.  I love myself, well, I didn't realised it before, but I do now.  I am not in love with myself.  Notice the distinct difference.  I love the people who touched my life, I love the mistakes that I made, I love the joy that I touched and touched-by.  I love life.  

Love life.  I know this world is not eternal, and it's just temporary.  But bear in mind, I love life as it is, not in love with life.  Life as the essence can be quite easily ignored.  Life in the essence can be easily taken for granted.   Close your eyes, breath deeply, and feel the air that enters your lungs, feel it filling in your lungs as your chest extends, and exhale as you would, that is LIFE.  You feel it, yet you can't see it, a bit like love itself.  

But you know what is the best irony of this year's Valentine's Day.  It's the day before, Friday the 13th, allegedly a superstitious day of good or bad luck...  Believe or not, next month is another Friday the 13th.  Cool huh??  So if you're still a couple by today, you should celebrate...  LOL...   A year ago, if my memory hasn't failed me,  I had an accident on Valentine's.  I remembered the crash, fresh as it was yesterday.  I tell ya', my life at that time was shattered and in shambles.  It was a crazy ride.  A year on, here I am, offshore and I guess, smiling as I write this post.  

On the note of Friday, the 13th, work was bad for me.  I was just irked by the way things are being run.  It is like the past six months of offshore work never happened, and we're back to square one.  It's like everyone is learning a new job!  I kept being professional about it, but I can't help being angry.  It's not easy, this.  Managing people, work, logistics and planning.  It's not easy.  There are times when things get relaxed and easy, but when things do go wrong, EVERYTHING GOES WRONG!  LOL...  A bit like today...  So anyway, I've written quite an amount for a quickie post.  Until then, take good care of yourself and Ciao!

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
