Lately, I felt tire out. It’s either I am getting too old, or that I am living an ‘ageing’ life.
God, give me faith, give me courage. Let me be strong.

THE 'KITE RUNNER's' 'INFIDELITY CHAIN' made 'EAGLE EYE' 'PUNGGOK RINDUKAN BULAN' 'KAMI'
So, how do you spend a week-long holiday entrapped in the big city – Kuala Lumpur?
Various ways: lepak2 with your boyfriend (check), finish up on those novels which you bought but have not read (check check), watch movies (check check check).
I do have to admit that my Raya was not as glamorous. Wore the new baju kurung on the first day, and that was Raya for me. Wait, I wore the other new baju kurung for a wedding on Saturday night, so I do have another 2 unworn .. opsie.. yeah, I lavishly went on a major shopping spree for 4 baju kurung this year.
So, the two books I read:
THE INFIDELITY CHAIN – a lot of raunchy acts, plots that were quite interesting, good
ending. Not a Must-Have-Book, but definitely the one that kills your boredom on Second Day of Raya
KITE RUNNER – Excellent! A story about family, friendship, war and terror. Finally a book so moving that you’re taken away by the story. A book that made me feels thankful for the tranquility that I enjoy in this country
And the three movies I watched:
EAGLE EYE – Disappointing. Not the Spielberg make that you would expect. A rip off from some other futuristic movie
PUNGGOK RINDUKAN BULAN – I can’t believe Amir Muhammad even had anything to do with it. I lost the story line not even mid-way. And apparently, there were only 3 of us who sat in the big cinema watching the show. I guess everyone else knows better. And here I thought that I am artsy enough to follow this show till the end.
KAMI – Quite good. Love the plot, and love the character Lyn. Suddenly reminded me of Dawson’s Creek. But not the kind of movie to educate you about what these indie acts ie gigs etc all about, more of a movie about teenagers and their many issues. But an enjoyable movie after all.
Work starts Monday (erk.. remember how you used to dread saying that school starts Monday!) Not sure whether I had plenty of rest to begin with, and staying up late just to blog about it.
Good nite everyone (or morning in this case). Look forward for a brand new day tomorrow.

Carca Merba - Esok Cuti Yeay!
I couldn’t start my work since morning, and felt quite clueless really. Had the normal early morning coming to work at 730 (but as usual, my collegue beat me to it by coming much earlier at 630) feeling famished. Aiman is in Maya, so I had to resort to IA for a quick nutritious breakfast. Well, you wouldn’t say that its nutritious when I had the nasi lemak feast on Level 4.
I haven’t been going to the gym for about a month now, ever since my brother had the accident. Had to go home and care for him (more of a reason really, since I hardly do that now) and focusing on some other ‘commitment’. Haha..
Anyway, I really couldn’t start doing work after breakfast. The nasi lemak really got to my brain; closing all the pro-active nerves eager to do some real work. So, I have been writing some emails, reading some SPE Salary reports (which says that South East Asia worker’s getting paid the lowest – expat with the same qualification and experience level gets paid 4 times more than the local), and reading & installing the new P6 software worth 20K that I just got from the supplier. The freaking 4CD + 1 DVD which does not even have any proper hard-copy manual (Go Green!) cost the company 20K, pending the other 80K PertMaster software which will come sometime in June. Gost, that’s like my 2 years salary on the table. Lose it and expect zilch salary for the next 24 months of your life. Unless of course my beloved Pet gives a 12 months bonus for its miraculous achievement this year – Oh wait, even if that happens, I still would be working without pay for the next 1 year of my career. Ok, I’ll lock up this software someplace safe…
Anyway, went to a friend’s wedding on Saturday and Nely … CONGRATS!

Waiting to Exhale
It was supposed to start off as a pretty great day, not till I was reading the Sun today with its big header: Sign of Love.
Different people do different things to express their love. And this guy did it by putting up a giant billboard asking the girl to marry him. Cute. It only cost him RM40 K.
I spent my Valentine in the comfort of 3 other adorable friends. So, we were celebrating the Single Awareness Day, but they made it so much fun to be and feel single. Lefty was absolutely hilarious.
I had a chat about my personal enigma with Big Boss yesterday. I told him how everyone around me is getting hooked up, and I am still having a great deal of headache over finding the right one. They all give you the same advice and you couldn’t help but feel more let down.
I remember cheeky giving me some interesting quotes before, from the book ‘Waiting to Exhale’ that she was reading. Here it goes…
“Am I not a good catch or what?”
“We’re all good catches,” Bernadine said.
“Why are we all such good catches?” Savannah asked, leaning forward on her elbows and motioning for the other bottle of champagne.
“Because we’ve got good hearts and we’re good lays and we’re nice people. Isn’t that enough?” Bernadine said.
“Well, since you knew so damn much, why are we having such a hard-ass time meeting Mr. Wonderful?” Robin asked. Nobody had the answer to that one.
Yes, does anyone have the answer to that? People keep saying the same thing over and over again, and it is indeed non-reassuring. I wouldn’t say that I had lots of heartbreaks, but I did had a lot of almost… Period.
Few more interesting quotes:
“I know I’m not going to hear from him. And I hate the thought that I made a fool of myself. That I spilled my guts. Made my most intimate feelings known. How could somebody who acted so sincere be so insincere? How could he play with my feelings like this? I would never do this kind of shit to anybody. Never.”
- Waiting to Exhale, pg 368.
“It was my fault. I was the one who made the decision to open up my little heart. I was the one who said, ‘Here, go ahead and have some. Here, go ahead and take it.’ I’ve accepted responsibility for what for what I allowed to happen to me. I gambled. And I lost. But it wasn’t the end of the world.”
- Waiting to Exhale, pg 377.
Gosh.. It totally reflected what I’ve been feeling recently. Then this one:
“The ones that are good for us, we find dull and boring, and then we pick the assholes, the ones who won’t cooperate, the ones who offer us the most challenge and get our blood flowing and shit. Those are the motherfu*kers we fall in love with.”
- Waiting to Exhale, pg 324.
It got to me totally. And at the end, this is what HE said:
Quote from Grey’s Anatomy:
“Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life.” – Dr Meredith Grey
Yes, life was indeed wrecked.
