Without yourself, you are alone...

Summary

Due to some major complications with the servers here, I had to fly back to KL.

This post is not about that because if I get to that, it would be an earful.

Anyway, the good thing is I’m back. Trust me; going off overseas, near or far for work, from my experience is definitely not a holiday. Sure, you can meet new people and new places, but trust me; you either won’t have time for it or no energy for it.

I sometimes wonder how Uma is putting up with it all back in Australia.

Funny thing is, the first night in Singapore, I actually dozed off around 9.30pm, tired and with dampen spirits. I dreamt of Deepavali. No, seriously. And I was actually begging my boss to give me another 2 days off so that I could stay at home for the celebration.

And I woke up happily thinking that I don’t have to go to work that day and was a little bit confused initially wondering why I am in a different room instead of my room back in Kedah. And poof, I remembered, I was not even in Malaysia.
------------------------------------------------------

I saw these really cute Aussie children on the way back. Not that I have never seen one before but these three were so lovely. Golden hair, snowy complexion, rosy cheeks and clear sky blue eyes. I just couldn’t stop looking. So were the Japanese tourists who were sitting near me.

And they were quite outspoken, daring children too, un-intimidated by the fact that they were surrounded by unfamiliar faces. I couldn’t take my off them until when one of the Japanese guy said hi to the kids and the elder child told his brother, ‘go smack him really hard’.

Man, I hate rude children. But the mother was okay. She scolded the kids and apologized.

And after that, the magic was gone.

-----------------------------------------------
Remember how we like to condemn the government so much over wastage of resources. How we condemn them when we see all these unnecessary huge structures going up. A huge waste of tax payers’ money blah blah blah. What, don’t generalize? Okay okay, not we. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, the other day I was in Putrajaya and there were a bunch of tourists who were so in awe over the structures in Putrajaya and they were ‘oohing’ and ‘aahing’ and I could feel myself swelling with pride.

Strike up a chat with fellow Malaysian and I can give you 1001 reason why Putrajaya is such a waste of money.

I’m such a confused individual, aren’t I?

So far, I have only traveled to Singapore but it is such a great feeling now whenever I step back at the Immigration checkpoint in KLIA. A huge sense of relief when I step on my very own soil.

Makes me appreciate my country.

Really.

The other day I went to watch Vanavil Padal Thiran Potti in Bukit Jalil Sports Complex with Prem, Kashie, Sara, Satyah, Menaka and Shamini. It was so fun. We took photos with all the stars, thanks to Kashie’s friend who had access to the VIP room.

The winner certainly deserved it. Charumathi. Man, she was so good, beautiful and with great personality.
-----------------------------------------------
Feeling very very bad over something. :- ( And I’m mentally exhausted. Maybe emotionally too.
-----------------------------------------------

Well, that sort of summarized my life for the past few days.
Great weekend ahead for everyone.
Ciaoz.
