Alone

Just checked in at hotel, here near Danga Bay.

Next call time is at 1800hrs.

It's 1530hrs...2.5 hrs more.

Seems like too short to sleep. Too tired to do work.

What am I doing here again?

I feel like Edward Norton's Jack in Fight Club.

Band on the run

0125hrs Friday.

Was back 5 hours ago with an aching body, no thanks to the massage I got at Tamarind Springs Spa at Koh Samui earlier. I mean, the massage felt good then and the steam bath and cold pool were all awesome but right now, the body is feeling kind of battered. Maybe I shouldnt have chosen the 'firm' kneading techniques and opted for just 'medium'.




Anyway, that's it for Samui. More updates on that later. Right now...I farking need to write this stupid article and then off to Malaysia (Johor) for another work assignment, this time round, a wedding event organised my Malaysian Tourism Board. Will be back in the wee hours of Sunday.

Would love to say what a great "jet-setting" life but...no, it is not and I wouldnt.

Too sleepy to jump for joy.

Pure shores part trois

Going to Koh Samui on a work junket later at 6am. It's midnight now and the best I can do is to take this bag out of the store room.

Not a trip I am looking forward to, definitely. In fact, this 2nd half of 2011 is not rolling like what I wanted it to be.

Something is not right.

I cant be losing the zest, can I?

...pack.

Am trying to figure out what should I do with my hair...for my Pippa Middleton role next week.

...will I ever have someone be MY Pippa?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

Thank you God for smart phones.

Talking to the moon

How can anyone not like this?
I am in love...with this song.

:(



I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbours think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have

At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too.
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon?

I'm feeling like I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say I've gone mad
Yeah I've gone mad
But they don't know what I know
Cause when the sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back

At night when the stars
Light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the moon
Try to get to you
In hopes you're on
The other side
Talking to me too.
Or am I a fool
Who sits alone
Talking to the moon?

Ahh...Ahh...Ahh..
Do you ever hear me calling

I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away

Free money

A friend was in a financial quandary about 2 months ago and yesterday, another one was in a bigger one. Though I still havent received the loan from the first, I do have enough to sort out the second friend. Guess tomorrow I will pass him the moolah.

And that will reduce the money in my bank to just a 3-digit figure (hey, it could be $100).

I know I should be sincere but hey, I can express my sadness in seeing the number drop, right?

I wish these people dont run away with my money. The amount may be paltry to some but...it's my 'rainy day' money.

Hope my rainy day doesnt come this week or next. Otherwise, I'll drown.

Smoke on the water

I don't mind smokers but I cant stand some who dont consider the feelings or health of others within their smoking space. If you are smoking at a park, on a ship deck in the open ocean, fine. But if you're smoking in an enclosed area, a small house, a box, dont get pissed when the people around you get pissed.

What? Only you are here? Your smoke comes out from your breath and goes back straight into your nose without being sniffed/inhaled by others? What...you think you're the Marina Barrage of smoke recycling? Bitch, please.

And you're not happy that I sprayed air freshener? At least that thing smells nicer on my clothes, hair and food. Urgh.

It's too much. Thanks to the father, the whole house smells horrid. My lungs are affected too. Deep down, maybe another mild heart attack will stop this.

Or me moving out.

The latter seems so, so, so, so, tempting.

Though it's the 5th day of Syawal, this is like the 3rd session of going out. Joining my auntie and cousins cause...parents went to Malaysia again to visit Arnie's relatives.

Am going to 5th house for the season.

Straight from my heart

I remembered it, then I found it. First heard it in 2000 and I was so in love with it.

Listening to it made me miss my late aunt. It's the 2nd Hari Raya that she's not with us. On the first day when I say my cousin and uncle, I was reminded of her. How she's sorely missed by all. Such a loving kind soul who's gone way too soon. Some evil ones are made to stay and roam this earth for so long but souls like her, sometimes, went too soon.

Such is God's will.

I miss you, Bibik. You've never come to me in my dreams all this while. Why, Bibik? Everybody said they felt you...dreamed about you. But I have never. Why? Is it because you didnt like me? Is it because I didnt take care of you when you were sick? Is it because you didnt love me as much as you loved the others? Is it because I had done something wrong?

I couldnt see you when you were sick, Bibik, cause I couldnt do it. I didnt want to collapse and scream. Only when you were going through your dying days that I regretted not seeing you as often as I should have. But I was too afraid...a coward. I couldnt see you in pain. Have you ever noticed I never talk to you about it? About your cancer? I wished if we didnt talk about it, it would go away. Many people talked about their time taking care of you at home...chatting with you...but I was not there. My memories were filled of images of a healthier and happier you, times when we were both so close. And when those last days were near, I was brought crashing down to earth to see the image in front of my eyes not the same as the one I perpetually had in my head.

I thought you were invincible, Bibik. At 29, I still had such naive idea.
Had I gotten a little more time with you, I would tell you how much you meant to me.
I would help you achieve things you hadnt achieved.
I would have focused on you, not my running away from your pain.
I wouldnt have been such an emotional coward.
I would have told you how much my life would suck without you.

I would.
I would.
I would.


The sun's still warm and most days are good
The world still turns like you said it would
But this pain seems to never let me go
And there really is no movin' on
There's only going along

And I will always be
Better for you loving me
Better for the times we shared
That travel with me everywhere
And I will always try
To hold my head up to the sky
If only just to let you know
That straight from my heart
I still miss you so

If I could I would gladly trade
A thousand tomorrows for one yesterday
There are so many things that I would say
You're a part of every memory
That lives on in me

And I will always be
Better for you loving me
Better for the times we shared
That travel with me everywhere
And I will always try
To hold my head up to the sky
If only just to let you know
That straight from my heart
I still miss you so

Samba Pa Ti Saturday

Parents left for JB to visit sister-in-law's family. Was supposed to go visiting with my auntie and cousin but that didnt work out. I managed to go to work, finish an article and send borrowed clothes for last Thursday's photoshoot back to Raoul.

Gonna catch a romantic comedy flick later (so unbecoming!) later but in the meantime...it's Woodstock and lasagna.

Will do.

My follow-up isse.

For a Hari Raya issue, it's hmmmm that the cover personalities did not don traditional costumes. Some find it strange, some find it refreshing.

Some...well...as long as they wear clothes.

Heheh.

Queen of my heart

One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Then again...I flew all the way to Perth to see her, it better be good.

Of course I caught her again when she came out at the theatres.



I dont like Madonna. Though I love my Beyonce and Britney, I love my Queen Kylie the most.

Hail my queen!
