‘07

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

As i start a new year, i look towards what the coming year will have in store for me.
Will i have ups? yup.. Downs? yea… humps? why not… all in all i really don’t know what to expect for this year.

People say its how a man responds in trying times that define a man. So thus i hope i’ll be ready to face 07 with a vengence and a grit in my teeth.

Why sound so pessimistic at the begining of the year, one might ask.

Perhaps it isn’t so much of pessimism as it is more of maintaing a conservative outlook. In any case, Lilian Too seems to think 07 aint a gonna be a good year for me… only time will tell eh?

The feeling in my gut is that this is gonna be a lean year, hopefully its gonna be lean for my stomach =)

Happy New Year!
Here’s wishing you’ll come out of the gates running and continue running the good race till the end.

HIbernate

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

Its just one of them days where you feel like just slinking back into bed and just pull up the sheets and withdraw the curtains and hibernate. Yup… im feeling so bearish rite now.. wanna go makan then hibernate = )

Must be that cool crisp air.. good old Penang Island air!

Coming back from the jungle to enjoy the Christmas weekend here in Penang is really an event i look forward to. It brings back a flood of memories of last year and it reminds me of the warm fellowship that i had with my churchmates and the heng taiz.

Maybe it’s just the fact that we’re going to be changing to a new calander year soon, but Dec always beckons a time for reflection of the past year..

Me? nah… no reflection lah… thats just so ghey.. swt

Things to look forward to :
- A merry merry Christmas
- A great time with all those i haven’t seen in a while
- looking for people who want to eat at Ribs
    (no need special occasion to eat there rite? ) *wink*wink*

roite.. heres to a great & relazxing weekend!

The walk of stars

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Aik…

Who in their right minds would wanna wake up early in the morning just to walk 10km for fun?

Judging by the number of participants… either

a ) Penang got loads of crazy people… or
b ) The answer above

Set alarm at 0600… ghai… ring also just hit snooze…contemplating if i shud just msg them " no need fetch me d "

Next thing i know.. i get call from Stephen… crap.. i fell asleep while willing myself to type that message.

LATE liau … super *swt* cos i aint got the SW T yet..
haha…. get it? Star Walk Tshirt = SWT  >>>
Bwahahha…..

no?

okie…. moving on….

Had to pick up the slack… get back into contention…cut loads of ppl… only to find 50+ uncles breezing past me * demoralized*

Nvm… can catch up 1!!

* aunties in tight spandex zooms past *
* swt to the max *
* disgraced….. *

Full steam ahead.. stop for 1 cup of 100+.. recharged and good to go!!
Reaching the uphill climb.. no stopping now… and i actually managed to finish it , clocking  1:38:45

Overall the SW06 was very different feel la… very hurried… came and gone just like that.. not much feel also la..

Next thing i know, we’re at the usual spot reading papers and enjoying some cereal with milk… haha.. the good things in life don’t change! =)

Thats right…

It’s 3.49 am and i’ve just finished a piece of Eden blueberry cake..
it made me think…

What if there was no life?

Nothing wrong, nothing right.

What if there was no time?
And no reason or rhyme.

What if you should decide,
that you don’t want me there by your side.
That you don’t want me there in your life.

What if I got it wrong

and no poem or song

Could put right what I got wrong
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
that you don’t want me there by your side

That you don’t want me there in your life.

Let’s take a breath jump over the side

How can you know it if you don’t even try

Every step that you take
could be your biggest mistake

It could bend or it could break
But that’s the risk that you take

What if you should decide

That you don’t want me there in your life

That you don’t want me there by your side.

How can you know it when you don’t even try..
How would you ever know?
How would we ever know?

Aiks… pulled tea in Zero G

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

Endless comments have been passed about the need of sending our very own tarik-nauts into space to explore the boundaries of how mamak food can perform in space… so I’ve given it some thought to why the gah-men would invest in such a pursuit.

We can’t always tembak gah-men before we look at things from their side right?
right? ( er…… )

Anyway, we must remember that sending our brightest men into space will help further develop and refine the texture and the viscosity of the perfect teh tarik mah.

Eh dun forget Smirnoff also got triple distillation before they produce a vodka that is worthy of Bond OK?

Who knows 1 day Bond will be saying " 1 iced tea… pulled.. not shaken nor stirred "
right or not? So please please dun criticize the gah-men for investing such a huge amount if money into the space program harr…

As for us normal citizens, we should continue to support the venture as it could have serious repercussions to the facet of our night life refreshments ar….
I can imagine 1 day all the mamaks nation-wide will be serving us with a special brew of frothy teh tarik that was concocted and created by our own National Space Agency worthy of space travelers :)
