Feeling good.

(Poppy flowers taken outside LA's Disney)

With the current cooling weather in KL, this is all I can say or singgggggg

Feeling Good

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' o by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I am feeling good.

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good

and because today's the beginning of the weekend.

Opsss.... We did it again

KL ranked no 3 in a survey done by reader digest on the 'rudeness' of its people (out of 35 cities). Hey people, we are rude and proud of it man....... hahah I am amused and at the same time, I am not surprised at by the outcome. I think, we really need to do something about this. It's really bad.

Check out the news here


Many years ago @ the cinema. (with some friends)
Moi: Fours tickets, please.
Customer Rep: Where you want to sit?
Moi: here... yes these four.
Customer Rep: empat puluh.
Moi: Thank you, Aminah *Looking at her name tag*
Customer Rep: *looking back, shoot me a killer look* Thank you for what?
Moi: *laughing and walking away*

She is just not used to the courtesy we have shown her. Sigh


Sometimes back @ TGV cinema
I was lining up to get my tickets and suddenly I noticed a lady standing in front after I looked away for a while.

Moi: Hello.. I am in the line.
Mdm: Or are you?
Moi: yes....
Mdm: Dont get upset.

What? how can some cut your line and still has the gut to ask you not to get upset? arghhhh KL people!!!!!


Yesterday @ KFC, KLCC
I saw one couple. The gal was buying food for the guy. The Ah Beng was happily googling at girls passing by him. When the girlfriend returned to the table.

Gal: Why you never helped me?
Boy: Why?
Gal: Why you never helped me?
Boy: You angry ar?

The gal slammed down the tray and pushed the table behind her and it's was such a sight to behold. I was amused, of course.

Just listen to the many tales about how when someone was robbed and there is no one to help you, not even your neighbours for the fear that they might get into trouble too. Sigh...

Middle of the year again. ;

I admit that age is catching up with me and thus, the desire of blogging which once upon a time was burning zealously, is diminishing. Sigh... I remember I can blog so many times in a day. Of course, at that time I was working for a 'going to defunct' company now.

Work has been:-

1. pretty busy with the constant reordering of goods and because we do not import in bulk all the time. Still trying to contact all the supplier which I have met in the states and the preparation of coming fairs around town.

As usual, sometimes I just have to fight with my colleague for simple things

Moi: Mdm, can you please give me a list of promotional items? I really need it by next week?
Mdm: *Silent*
Moi: Hello....
Mdm: I have so many things to do..... and boss will say I forgot to do this and that again?
Moi: *thinking* what the fuck!!!!!!

Blogging about this, I am still feeling the bitterness of such comments made by her and the inefficiency. After the comments, I saw her walking around the office, looking into this and that and poking her nose into everything else but her own work. She is in charge of payroll and has everyone been getting their payslip? Take a guess!!!

*two months back*
Mdm: Hey, we are changing our system, so i wont prepare the payslip for you all ar
Moi: Errr what?
Mdm: It's very troublesome to prepare them la.
Moi: Errr of course..... you cant do that...
Mdm:......

I just asked her recently for my payslip since I need them to process some documents........

Social wise, well, it has been just alright. I connect with a few bloggers and has been chatting with them. Yeah that's cool. I havent been actively going out with friends. I have been just way too lazy. Sometimes... you know.. you work from 10 till 6.30 pm 6 days a week and upon completing one full day at work, you just want to scum at home.

Reposting something which I wrote for someone 5 years ago. :) I miss you and have not heard from you for a long time. I guess work has been really really busy.

I remember the bleakness and looking for my watch to tell time.

I remember the firmness of the bed I was on.

I remember my reflection in the mirror.

I remember walking down and passing back the keys to the hostel.

I remember walking out of the building, down the stairs and seeing your sleepy eyes.

I remember having to walk in front of you and feeling I will fall flat on the ground should someone push me.

I remember the early morning city buzz while waiting for the bus.

I remember all my loose change clinging.

I remember looking out over the Tsing Ma bridge, the busy ports.

I remember you closing your eyes in the bus - obvious symptoms of waking up early.

I remember reaching the airport and looking for the check-in terminals.

I remember I don’t really care about my surroundings.

I remember sitting around the airport and making small talks.

I remember losing my contacts lens.

I remember having to smile for the photos.

I remember waiting for my ‘last call’ and walking to the departure gate.

And I remember the big hug I gave you,

and thinking when will I ever see you again.

And I will always remember, you are so special to me.

Paris, Je t'aime

This film showing at the Cannes Film Festival 2006.- Paris, Je t'aime

Dont you just love the name of it? I do. Someone asked me why I love Europe and France so much and this is all I can say - 'Foule sentimentale' (Sentimental Crowd).

Foule Sentimentale by Alain Souchon

Oh la la la vie en rose
Le rose qu'on nous propose
D'avoir les quantités d'choses
Qui donnent envie d'autre chose
Aïe, on nous fait croire
Que le bonheur c'est d'avoir
De l'avoir plein nos armoires
Dérisions de nous dérisoires car

Foule sentimentale
On a soif d'idéal
Attirée par les étoiles, les voiles
Que des choses pas commerciales
Foule sentimentale
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
Comme on nous parle

Il se dégage
De ces cartons d'emballage
Des gens lavés, hors d'usage
Et tristes et sans aucun avantage
On nous inflige
Des désirs qui nous affligent
On nous prend faut pas déconner dès qu'on est né
Pour des cons alors qu'on est
Des

Foules sentimentales
Avec soif d'idéal
Attirées par les étoiles, les voiles
Que des choses pas commerciales
Foule sentimentale
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
Comme on nous parle

On nous Claudia Schieffer
On nous Paul-Loup Sulitzer
Oh le mal qu'on peut nous faire
Et qui ravagea la moukère
Du ciel dévale
Un désir qui nous emballe
Pour demain nos enfants pâles
Un mieux, un rêve, un cheval

Foule sentimentale
On a soif d'idéal
Attirée par les étoiles, les voiles
Que des choses pas commerciales
Foule sentimentale
Il faut voir comme on nous parle
Comme on nous parle

off day

Since my office does not observe all public holidays, I was very very glad that we have had last saturday off. In fact , due to not having a full saturday to myself for a long time, I sort of feeling lost - 2 dayssssss all to myself? What a treat!

I went to I-Utama to catch a french flim. That's the fourth movie in a week - starting with Da Vinci Code, Poisedon, X Men III, Joyeux Noël.





















For those who loved classical music, dont miss this show - there are a few scenes where you'll get to hear superb performance....

And it is in moments like this, I feel:

1. even more stronger, my desire to go back to Europe. In fact, the other day:

Relative: When are you coming back?
Moi: A bit later
Relative: So you just want to come back for fun la?
Moi: No lar. I am still learning about businesses here in KL.
*quickly diverting topic*
Moi: Oh... Is Bebe coming back for his holiday?
Relative: Oh I dont know.. I sort of forgotten that his passport expired so we need to renew his passport in London first and the airticket is gonna be a bomb la.
Moi: Ok.. I will talk to you guys again later.

2. that I am thinking seriously about my future. While I am so sure what I want to build, what I want to do in life... I cannot deny there are times I wanna have a shortcut, easy way out... The times when I see some of my friends achieving so much in life...

3. that I feel the need to stand up and tell people around me that the da vinci code is of no threat to the church that was tested through time. Religion with all its flaws is about hope. Hope for the better. I remember the times I read about the code and I was thinking to myself, 'what if all these were true?' I think the hooha is for people who do not think what they read. yes I agree that media can be a very powerful tool but the controversies surrounding da vinci are pretty baseless and fictional...

Aunty: Oh did you know about the movie where magdelene gave birth to jesus's child?
Moi: yeah... da vinci
Mum: we saw the movie the other day
Aunty: What? you guys went to see the movie? The devil's work?
Moi: Yeah
Mum: Cannot see mer?
Aunty: Cannot.... satanic lar.
Moi: *giggling*

(Note: aunty is a very kind lady and pious, so she is being excused.... and I need to tell her the truth too about how silly is the myth of davinci)

On a more serious note, Work has been pretty alright. Sometimes it's really stressful but I think I have handled them ok. Hmmmm I have been even more stressful situations, just that I hate dealing which situation that comprimises my performances. ;) yeah, I am a prick that is performanced focused. Maybe that is why some of my colleagues are having a hard time trying to catch up with me. opppsss...
