I can be patient but when I get shoved by someone when I got the spot first, I knew I had enough of them. So I stopped and focused on indoor.

Until last Sunday when I realized I needed to go out there in order to make sure I do not get left behind or forget techniques I spent years accumulating. We all know that practise makes perfect and that lack of it just makes you forget. So I went to the Bersama Rakyat event in Bandar and happily took a lot of photos and I must say, I was in love with my results. I realized then how much I miss doing that.

Best part though, you don’t see the annoying wannabe photographers anymore. Everyone was nice. Thank God that’s over.

I can’t remember the last time I actually went and hung out at a cafe without thinking about work – just out for the sake of hanging out. It’s been so long. Thoughts of work and a few other things have been occupying my mind for awhile now. But today, I was out at Patisserie and it felt good. My mind felt good. I could feel the stress flowing out of my head slowly. I needed that. It felt good. I felt refreshed.

Now I realize I need to have that once in awhile to keep myself sane.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted anything here. The holiday, for one, took a lot of my time – mostly in the “relaxing department” and I’ve been spending less and less time online. Even my twitter is filled with only automated tweets from third party supports. Looks like I’ve got a lot of posts to create in order to catch up with the “lost days”.

But here’s one I learned – now, I’m no football fan and I don’t watch it religiously but the recent World Cup (which just ended early this morning) was able to grab my interest mostly because it’s full of drama – what with the France problem, Italy losing early, Brazil‘s lost, Argentina‘s frustration and a newly crowned World Champion. That’s one of the reasons why I followed anyway – I predicted that we’ll have a new champion this year so I followed to see if I was right. And I was!

But speaking of predictions, here’s an article I read about Paul, y’know – that psychic octopus:

The psychic octopus known for his amazingly accurate World Cup predictions has received death threats, the Telegraph reports. Paul, the oracle octopus whose prescient premonitions perfectly predicted the outcome of all six German World Cup games, first generated anger from Argentinian fans who believe his percipient pick doomed Argentina in the quarterfinals.

Paul’s keeper in Oberhausen, Germany said “there are always people who want to eat our octopus but he is not shy and we are here to protect him as well. He will survive.”

Mmm… Sushi.

Did you know that Fox is on Astro? Flip over to channel 710 and you’ll get Fox channel showing shows such as Flash Forward, Bones and Simpsons! That’s one good news we learned today. FOX! Astro just got cooler.

Now the question is, is this permanent or temporary?

Browsing online today, I stumbled upon this colour strata. It’s not the chart I used to have but it’s a good one if you want to learn all the names of the colours. Yes, now even you’ve learned that there’s more than just the 7 colours you see on a rainbow.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get to take a photo of my food. I was too hungry to wait by then (long drive from home) but I managed to take the photo on the right while waiting for our food to come. As you can see, everyone’s busy grabbing their drinks but my father-in-law noticed the camera and started to pose =)

It’s my first time staying the night in Miri without my parents and I have to say, it’s rather fun going around not following someone else’s car. Quite an adventure. Too bad our paintball game had to be cancelled.
