Truth

2012-02-09T23:16:00.000+08:00

I wrote something today. I wrote something wicked. I wrote something.. true. But I'm afraid of what the payment for that Truth will be. You! You were but the briefest flicker in my life, But a spark that flared bright. Irresistably bright. You've inspired me to write again; did you know? But right now, I'm not sure that is the best of things. How can it be that I

You Should Date a Girl Who Reads

2011-12-14T21:40:00.000+08:00

by Rosemarie Urquico “You should date a girl who reads. Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have

Melbourne, oh Melbourne

2011-10-05T00:42:00.000+08:00

Today, I find myself back in Melbourne. It was just shy of two full years ago that I was last here - for Doggy's wedding, for my first visit to Melbourne, for my first time in Australia, ever. We, my Darling and I, spent 6 whole days in Melbourne, exploring her (well, minus 1.5 days in the suburbs for wedding stuff). It was meant to be summer, but it was a cool summer that year, methinks,

Of Things That Go Boo in the Night

2010-09-05T01:31:00.002+08:00

Of late, the urge to write in the wee hours of the night has returned. Over the last few nights, the urge has been quite insistent; I must comply. Resistance is futile. The quiet nights have not been good to me recently. It doesn't help that I am a late sleeper, most awake and lucid in the hours surrounding midnight; a legacy inherited from my father. Too many thoughts I'd rather not have come

When Best Just Isn't Good Enough

2009-11-23T19:20:00.005+08:00

There are times when you feel like such a complete incompetent, and it doesn't matter that people tell you it's okay, because the job was just way over your head anyway, so you shouldn't feel bad about it.Well, it doesn't feel okay. It makes you feel such a failure when other people have to be called in to help you do what you were supposed to do. It makes you wonder if you know what the hell

Either ways, good luck.

Who would've thought the beginning of the year would bring an ending for me? I am sad. So sad. I need to talk about it to someone or I will explode. Unfortunately, the only person I want to talk to, the only person who has always been there is exactly the one person I can no longer call. Not anymore, not for the far forseeable future. I haven't felt this lonely in years. How do you wish for

Rain

2005-08-27T09:13:00.000+08:00

I scampered into the R&D building this morning, and no sooner than I did, the sky loosed its fury in torrents. I think my heel got wet.It rained today. It rained and rained and rained. It was most welcome, especially after the thick, haze-stricken week we had last week before it mysteriously disappeared. Wasn't it odd, how it was just suddenly .. clear? Almost crystal clear, at that.I welcomed

Freaky-Passionate (or Freakily-Passionate?) Kisser Ahoy!

2005-08-13T02:24:00.000+08:00

Part Freaky KisserWhen you kiss, you want to experience something new A new technique, a new partner, a new piercing... And your own personal kissing style is very unpredictable There's no saying where your tongue or hands will goPart Passionate KisserFor you, kissing is about all about following your urges If someone's hot, you'll go in for the kiss - end of story

Sigh. As things are currently somewhat slow at the office now, I thought I might as well write an update.I've done it! I've managed to get myself a job in a factory! ;oP haha .. well, I'm not really working in the factory proper, being in the R&D department, but it's still fun, nonetheless.Is the job interesting?

Foolish Dreams?

2005-07-07T10:16:00.000+08:00

I've been thinking.*jejeng*Lol. So, I was sitting at my desk, bored out of my skull, alternately working on the fecking MTO whilst playing Minesweeper, and I started thinking, right? I started thinking of the things I used to want, the things I always thought would make me complete, right? Like, the way I felt two years ago when .. *aherrm* .. when I was young(er) and in love with somebody else.

Bila Larut Malam

2005-06-22T00:16:00.000+08:00

Of late, I've been having difficulty writing. Everytime I draft a post, it always seems shite - all the eloquence of a stumbling elk trying to piss and fart while outrunning a predator. Really. And it bugs the hell out of me. But there's something about late nights that loosens my tongue, figuratively speaking. Thoughts take shape seemingly of their own accord, and the words flow effortlessly.

I tell you, I sweat more lying on that yoga mat than I do half an hour of proper workout on the treadmill! How is that

Sometimes it's so frustrating it makes me want to tear his hair (ahem) out by the roots.. and his hair is not the only thing of his you want to tear out by the roots...Things were a whole lot more uncomplicated when you haven't got someone else to consider. You could do whatever it is you like without worrying the other person

So, I was hired as the Project Engineer, right? As there aren't any current projects, my job, at the moment, constitutes reading up on the equipment we supply and methods of installation. Right.My boss, however, thinks that I may not be able to deal with possibly difficult contractors because as he sees it, my 'hands are too soft'. They, apparently, are too animated when I talk. How is that

Ugh. I suppose I was wrong when I assumed professionals could, nay, should be able to speak English well, but despite reading the hilarious accounts of MrsNad's boss, the BOIW from Inggeris-hell, I still stubbornly, naively held on to my belief that working people, especially those working in offices, could speak it well. I really should have known better. All I could do was sit there, just short

A Random Rant on the Subject of Bellies

2005-04-07T02:20:00.000+08:00

Y'know what?I think all women, even the skinniest (especially the skinniest!), should have bellies. Okay, I'm not talking about hanging-over-the-belt type guts (guilty as charged), but small, slight ones.I think there are few things more alluring and endearing than the soft curve of a belly on a woman. Which is why I find the mannequins at Escada KLCC so adorable. ;o)Aiyah! All women look at -

The Simplest Things

2005-03-31T02:49:00.000+08:00

I used to think I knew what I wanted. I suppose I still kind of do, but is it everything I need? I want a nice, huge house. I want to have my own jet so I can fly to Switzerland should I fancy. I want a jacuzzi in my backyard. I want a humongous library, crammed chock-full with books. But do I really need any of it?But it'd be silly comparing deep-seated desires to material ones. Nevertheless,

Solitude is a necessary thing. In small doses. I suppose. I barricaded myself in my room. Nobody bothered me all day. I only just went down to get something to eat, now that everyone is asleep.What peace! What blessed silence!!I don't know why I need it, but I do. I need the solitude, the silence. I need whole chunks of time away from people, to be alone with just me. And my books. My music. The

A Series of Unfortunate Events

After missing out on a yoga session (don't ask!!!), I very bad-naturedly tromped out of the gym, bought myself a movie ticket and seeing I had half an hour to kill, headed for A&W for a Root Beer Float and Curly Fries.

A Book, Someone?

2005-03-04T00:50:00.000+08:00

I need something to read. Usually, I have the memory of a sieve. For obvious reasons, this is generally bad. When it comes to my books though, it's a bit of a blessing as that means that I can read my books over and over again, and every time I read it, it's as if I'm reading the story brand new. However, numerous repititions of the same old stories tend to drill them into me head. This,

Simple Sentiments

For those of you who didn't know, I hate listening to the radio. I hate it. Hate it, hate it, absolutely hate it. I can't stand the inane chit-chattering of tong kosong DJs, I hate the stoooooopid radio ads (altho once in a while you get a few priceless gems *winkz*), and I will never (NEVER!!) be able to fully express just how thoroughly I detest their musical selections.

So, Valentine's was a week or so ago, and love is still in the air. Well, it's true for me, regardless of the date. I also think that Valentine's Day is, in this modern age, an absolutely horrifying commercialist celebration, a day for opportunistic businessfolk to glut and grow fat on mindless consumerism, but that is a different story altogether. Besides, I don't need ONE specific day to

Two days ago, I was driving around KL. Seeing as how it was 9.30am on a weekday morning, I had a relatively quiet drive, and as usual when things are quiet, my mind starts to wander. This time, it wandered to the Rayas of my childhood. I remember how as a child, Raya was a holiday to look forward to. Well, we looked forward to every excuse to not go to school, but Rayas were something else,
