I'm back

I know i havent been updating for the past few weeks. Not that i went off for a cruise around the world. Nor did i climb Mount Everest. Nah, didn't scale The Great Wall of China either. Jordon? The idea of being a prospective victim of some vicious idiotic bombing doesnt seem to hold much appeal. The furthest i went was Cyberjaya. Yep, my old golden Cyberjaya. Back and forth for some interview business. And that's that.

Deepavali was great. Really seriously great. I had a jolly good time and even had a great good reason to smile extra wide like a grinning black hole. My parents have changed a little, they were more approachful, and finally i could joke and talk to my mother about him. But all the merry-making ended abruptly after the second day coz my parents had to go back to work for Hari Raya. I hate it when Raya clashes with Deepavali. No, i don't hate Raya, i hate it clashing with Deepavali. That's coz my parents have to work until the day before eve of Deepavali and resume back on Raya day. i hate that. I repeat. I HATE THAT. Thank goodness it will clash again only for the next year and resume that clashing business again after 30 years, by that time, i'll be 53, i don't think it will bother me that much.

Though i had a great Deepavali, it still got me thinking very deeply. How much in my life, i look forward for excitement, happiness and go on to find a reason to be happy, to look forward to. The happiness that comes doesnt seem to stick. Deepavali was fun, i was anticipating it, when it came, i had a great time. Then it was over, and i was thinking to myself, what's next? I had to go on to find the next reason to be happy. I can't imagine a life for the next perhaps 40 years, 50 if im lucky, doing the same, jumping from one temporary happiness to another. The man was right. We sometimes look for something outside not knowing it is with us at all times. I'm focusing my thoughts on that. Will elaborate later.

Time to get some work done. And not to forget a munch on Muruku and a bite of 'nei urundai'..Cya...
