Dedicated to Lilian

well chabor, you asked for it ;-) happy? so before i start so that you can read all abt my (happening) existence (bet arv begs to differ ;-), hope you are better by the time you read this and your stomach's stopped churning. and stop taking warm milk from a mamak shop of all places.. yes yes i know its not your fault ;-) p/s: how many smileys do you want? ;-) ;-) ;-)

so i'm in johor, have been here for abt 3 wks. no flooding in my area so pls dont send me PAs and texts asking me hows the flood - GO READ THE PAPERS!! sheesshh..

had an MDC farewell party in Karma's before johor, was fun, and looked sober enough after that to escape a roadblock, hehehe..

so johor - quite nice when i was in the hotel (think king sized bed and bath), would just spend an hour soaking every evening.. aaaahhhhhh, the pleasures of life (now i know why Jennifer used to say going to the spa was better than sex ;-) imagine the bath with some moroccan rose shower gel, a few cadburys, a bottle of heineken's and a good book.. mmmmmmm.. you'll be lost in time before you know it!

the hotel's breakfast was good too, stuffed myself esp on wkends - so much so that lunch wasnt really a concern.. hahahaha.. was having kacang pau one morning and the FIRST thought that cam to mind was that Gremlin like the kacang inside ;-) should share one with him him this weekend la..

drove around the town on a Sat afternoon, got lost as usual (expected to of course), and suddenly found myself at the singapore checkpoint. debated whether to drive into SGP but decided against it as didnt know if there were any requirements like int'al driving license, etc.

at one point got lost in a malay kampung and there were chicken along the side of the road and the first thing that came to mind was the subject of moral we used to learn in form 5 - what do you do when you knock a chicken down? do you wait and apologize (and face the consequences - may your soul rest in peace) or do you run to the nearest police station (for a frekaing chicken)? flight or fight? ;-) which brings you to the age old question - WHY DID THE DARN CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD DAMMIT?

was driving really slowly cos i wasnt familiar with the roads here, and i kinda miss taking Gorgeous at 140.. i was doing like 60-80 and i can tell you that gorgeous was pretty surprised too ;-)

also went to plaza pelangi, there was bookstore and some books were on sale so got a sudoku book, a lead pencil, an eraser and james patterson's 4th of july, and the whole bill was like 32 or something. damn cool. but havent started on both yet - have been doing sudoku in the newspapers (god knows why i bought the book - must hv been an impulse.. huummmpphhh), and still stuck on Cleo, Dec 2006 although i have an unopened Jan 2007. what a mess!!

some gripes about the english language: why do so many people on this part of the world mistake deadline for DATELINE? i've so many many many people write "the dateline for this is 31 january" etc.. why cant they get a proofreader? yup, thats me.

another example of a juxtaposition of an oxymoron: The strongest weakness. or the weakest strength. but you get my drift.

have just moved in to a new place (couldnt go on staying at the hotel even tho i wanted to).. pretty ok no complains except for the price which is a bit steep but as i said no complains.

shoutouts: tres, see you on Sat, luv you babe. lilian, hope you've been updated on my life, miss you much and see you in Feb. Lora, hi and say hi to Joy too. LMK, i have no idea where they got the money from ;-) (laugh lilian laugh ;-) hahahahah.. Bex and Van, meet up sometime? cheers people..

will leave with a profound thought i read somewhere which is pretty interesting: "a lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesnt cost anything"
