Optical Illusion

I'm exactly seven days late on this. I wanted to post this last Monday, but I was just so freaking busy with my presentation that I had no time at all.

This is especially dedicated to someone, I'm not sure if you'd like me to post your name, but I know you know i'm referring to you :)

Ok, that was a complicated sentence...lolz

Have fun spotting the dolphins. *hint: there are seven of them*

Happy belated Birthday dude! Hope you had a blast

Lost Morning

I never knew how tired I was, but I did know that I was overworked the entire week. I managed to sleep in at about one last night or this morning, however you'd like it classified and I only woke up at three in the evening today.

That's not the longest I've slept as I've slept through an entire day before. But to wake up in the early evening, that's really a strange feeling. Anyways, I had to catch up with the lost time running errands and getting things sorted.

I'm also thinking of going on a short holiday the next week just to get some balance back in me. Taking a day off from studies today and spend some time doing totally random surfing today. The jog earlier was a little tiring. It's soon back to Monday and it's KL once again - sucks!

2hrs 45mins

I went down to KL and came back today with a friend just to have lunch with another friend - Awesome!

Well actually, that was that happened, but the objective of the trip was something else all together. My friend,KF, is looking at replacing his SLK and we drove down all the way to KL just to look at the replacement car he is getting. When we were there, we realized that an old friends house was just on the opposite side of the road and decided to drop in - such good friends right? :P

Anyways, since we took my tiny little Suzi, I managed to set myself a new time for reaching KL, toll to toll of course, in two hours and forty five minutes! It was sure fun to have all the adrenaline pumping through the journey until the damn cop appeared.

Got busted for speeding - darn! And the bastard had the cheek to say that I was caught on camera and there is a way to delete the the capture - RM 50.00. I was like what the fuck?! What ever happened to the zero bribery campaign and shit. Oh well, this is Malaysia. But heck, RM 50 is sure the easier way.

It's been a very long day, had only three hours of sleep last night as there was an emergency, cancelled all my party plans. It's now time to call it a day and run errands tomorrow.

The Fall

If I were to bank in on luck, I'm for sure screwed. Today was a disaster!

I was so dizzy upon waking up that I could barely get off my bed. I felt like everything around me was spinning so hard in a centrifuge. Crap! Not a good sign.

Since I could not get up, I told myself that I'll catch some much deserved rest and work from home. Less stress, no one will interrupt in the office. Boy, was I wrong. My phone started ringing sharp at 9 none stop. Why must there be so many issues to solve on a day when my deadlines are to be met and I'm falling down like the Roman empire. Basically, I spent the entire morning hours solving issues upon issues. And, when I finally thought it's all done, my IM starts blinking. My course mate was finding me to help draft a politically correct email to be sent out.

After helping her sort that, it was already passed midday and I haven't started working on anything that has today as the due date. The rest of the afternoon was spent on the telephone negotiating with almost everyone while replying emails and also working on projects. Somehow, after all the drama, I managed to complete everything and it was already half seven in the evening. So much for wanting a slightly relaxed day!

Tomorrow is going to be another hectic day but at least I know for a fact that I'm going to get myself knocked out after work with a couple of friends and lots of drinks. My phone is still beeping with incoming emails as I rant here :(

Time to get dinner, sit back and watch a movie for now. I really feel like I need a shout out and I better break this crazy routine before it gets worse. A fully sponsored holiday would be good too!

Drowning...

Having a full time job that has a choker on you 24/7 and studying part time is just the perfect recipe to be driven to the point of insanity.
It's already mid-week and I still have so much to do. I have so many dead lines and 24 hours a day doesn't seem enough. First, I had a group presentation on Monday evening. Despite informing all the team member to get things done early, everything was kept to the last minute. And whilst doing the compilation of the case study, I realized that almost everything wasn't relevant and most of the important facts were not included. Being someone who is almost a sore loser (I can't believe I'm admitting this), I just had to redo the entire case study on Monday itself, prepare the slides and emailed it to the lecturer. What I didn't anticipate was that some of the egoistic group members would get offended that I altered some of the information provided and corrected the spelling errors on the slides. Such bitches!
Since Monday was spent on last minute completion of my presentation and that I was worn out after class, Tuesday was a day to catch up on Monday's unfinished work. Sorting out work flows, negotiating agreements and working on proposal just drained me. I got exhausted by the time I got home that I did not even have the energy to sweat out. A strong mix of Bombay Sapphire and my bed was too hard to resist. I had to abandon my research online and dug into the comfort of my bed.
Waking up this morning for work was just so difficult. I had to drag myself out of bed to get ready for work. It was another day sorting things out with even more contract negotiations and process flows and costing to sort out. Everything with a deadline tomorrow. I was trying so hard to complete all my things that when I actually realized that I haven't had my lunch was at 7.00pm.
It's now time to continue researching for my next assignment and studying. I hope I can wake up tomorrow morning. It's going to be another hectic day followed by an even busier Friday. And no, the weekend hasn't started just yet for me as I've got to do a day trip to Kl on Saturday. Time to get busy :(

Friends

At times, I just sit and and wonder of all the people I've come across. I've spoken to more people than what's met the eye. I've gotten in and out of relationships, all the various kinds of relationships. I am a quiet person, which probably explains me not being out every night. My circle of friends are very limited. And when I say very, it really means very limited.
I do not call everyone I know as a friend, you have to impact me somewhat before you become my friend. Along the years, people have come and gone. Many passed by, only a few retained. At a point, when I was a teenager I started thinking if there was a problem within myself, but I just let it go. Not bothering much about it.
Today, I realized one thing. That the very few people I have within my circle, there are my true friends. We may not talk to each other daily, miss birthday wishes etc. But one thing is for sure, when you're down, there are there for you. Making time to listen to you rant silly, lend you a shoulder when you need to rest your head and wipe your tears when your eyes shed them.
I have been on near and distant holiday trips with my friends and they are some of the best times of my life. All the fun, silly jokes, laughter and running after planes whilst negotiating with cabbies to drive as fast they can so that you don't miss that connecting flight. All those are memories that I'll cherish forever.
What provoked me to think about all my friends and how glad I am to have them as my friends was an accident stumble upon a blog about someone who said he was lonely and always feels like he's an outsider. My message to you, don't try to fit it. Just be yourself and those who accept you are your true friends. You may not have met them yet, but you will soon. And those are the people who'd be close to your heart forever. Never seek approval to be a friend of someone, the friendship will just happen. There are many 'bastards & bitches' out there, but despite all that, there are as many, if not more nice people around. Just be tentative and you'd find your best friend in the least place you expect. They'd come in any shape, size and form. I know I can't be any happier to have my friends as my friends for there are the people I bonded voluntarily and not forced.
I love you all!

Blonde Moment?

'People who don't know you may know you better than people who know you' - this is what one of my friends told me some time ago. I never really figured it out. I was like what the heck? How can someone who doesn't know me know me while someone who knows me doesn't know me. Confusing right?

It still doesn't make much sense except for the fact that another friend of mine, an internet friend for almost three years now, told me the same thing. The only difference, he sent me an off-liner. I'm now waiting for him to get back online so I could ask him what the hell does it mean. Maybe I'm just having an extended blonde moment :(

And yea..I did miss my rantings, just been too busy off late and never really found the time to be faithful to myself.
