On Facebook, Friends and Staying Connected

2012-01-18T23:13:00.005+08:00

Had a really nice catch up with a girlfriend last night. :) It had been a few months since she returned back to work in Germany, after living here for the past few years, so i was eager to see her again and to check on what she had been busy with. I mean there's some updates on pictures and statuses on her fb and we did chatted online. But nothing beats meeting face to face, the focused presence

Communication, Miscommunications and Gossips

2012-01-13T22:27:00.002+08:00

I wonder if my communication and social skills had been getting worst recently. Not sure if it's because as you grow older, you get lazier, more anti-social and simply do not bother as much to seek for social acceptance. Hmm, this is really no good... Three examples: 1. Catch up with sis and asked about their trip after the family was back from a vacation. Our chitchat overheard by nephew was

One Year in Timor

2012-01-04T00:48:00.003+08:00

Went to check out a photography exhibition, One Year in Timor, at The Art House earlier today. The photographs were the work of a photographer who spent a year volunteering in Timor Leste (aka East Timor). There wasn't a lot of photographs on exhibit but the photographs were rather nice, and so i still ended up being late for a dinner appointment with a friend. :p Anyway, one of my goals for

One Day

2012-01-03T02:18:00.002+08:00

One Day. I picked up this book while at the bookstore the other day and ended up reading the whole book at the store, and buying the book as a Christmas gift for a friend because it was really good. The story was at times funny, at times sad, at times warm and often time, i felt a sense of nostalgia.. I guess for me personally, i was drawn to the story because it seemed to be like speaking to me

Little things :)

2011-12-20T03:22:00.000+08:00

While at work this afternoon, nephew called to tell me that he had excavated the complete T-Rex skeleton from the archaeological kit i got for him. :) It was a quick phone chat but it brought a sunshiny break to a quiet day at work. :) It was raining when i left office earlier and i kindda like that feeling. The air was chill, the night was quiet and you can hear the rain softly falling onto the

Love You Like A Love Song

2011-12-02T02:45:00.003+08:00

While catching up over the previous weekend, KY told me that every time she heard of this song by Selena Gomez, she would think of me. Hee.. it's nice to know when people thinks of you. :) She said that she didn't know why but somehow the song always reminded her of me. And today, i dunno why but this song kept playing in my head as i was driving home earlier. And as we chatted away that

Walk Away

2011-10-16T21:00:00.000+08:00

I should just disengage and walk away. Shouldn't be bitchy and grumpy myself. I think i have much to improve myself as a zen student.

Fair Weather Friend(s)

2011-09-30T07:48:00.005+08:00

I've been thinking why i have been feeling bothered by the fact that a girlfriend had not celebrated my birthday with me. I mean i have friends who also only just text me birthday wishes during my birthday and i was already very happy to just receive the text messages. Yet, why do i feel weird/disappointed (i am not sure what's the right emotion...disappointed? hurt? pissed?) when this

A Nice Catch Up

2011-06-17T21:55:00.000+08:00

A was in town and initiated for a catch up. We finally fixed on a date cos GY had a really tight schedule and so i postponed the date i made with a friend since it's not everyday that A's in town and rarer still that he initiated to catch up. So we had a gathering, just the three of us. And i was glad we made the effort to meet. For the evening turned out to be fun, and we chatted and joked and

Just a feeling that comes over me.

A Sweet Scene

2011-05-24T18:29:00.000+08:00

While waiting for the traffic light to turn green earlier this evening, i witness a scene that puts a smile to me. :) I saw this young man pulling his female partner to stop just when they were about to cross the road. Apparently, the lady's shoe lace had came off for the young man squatted down and started tying her shoe lace for her. Such a sweet gesture...it just warms your heart looking at

Listen to Your Heart - Thomas L. Friedman

2011-05-23T03:34:00.001+08:00

While chatting with a friend over the weekend, we spoke about how fortunate one of his friends is, to have a job he loves, and how important it is, that we have jobs that challenge and expose us to new learning experiences. We were fresh grads once before, and i remember my friend as one of the most passionate, smart and purposeful person i ever knew. But life demands and reality sets in and

Facebook

2011-05-23T02:28:00.000+08:00

While catching up over dinner yesterday, good friend asked me why i won't add him in my facebook. I told him i don't know why. It was not necessary at first and it doesn't seem necessary now either. If we are meant to be friends, facebook or not, we will remain as friends.

Blue

2011-05-23T01:23:00.034+08:00

Some colors of blue i brought back from the island of Manukan in Sabah. For me, blue is the color of bliss, joy, peace and contentment. Hope the pictures warm everyone's hearts like they had warmed mine. :)

Blue Sky, blue sea..

2011-05-20T09:39:00.001+08:00

Woke up this morning with a vivid image of the blue sky and blue sea in my dream last night. I can't remember the details of the dream..except for the the beautiful sea and sky...and i was feeling blissful. The sky was in a brilliant blue, in difference hues and shades of blue, with the soft white cloud gently floating by. The sea was a magnificent expanse that stretches to the horizon..there

Just realized that i had a pile of bills and administrative letters which i did not managed to clear before i went for my mount kk trip. Was reading the disclaimer fine print on my insurance renewal document when it crossed my mind about a disclaimer of another non-business/legal sort that i came across some time back. Why do people issue disclaimer on things they do? What if you are the

Beautiful Moonlight Tonight

2011-05-20T00:56:00.000+08:00

There's a beautiful full moon tonight. Couldn't help but to take a snapshot of the lovely moon on three occasions tonight. :) The brightly lit moon overhanging the beautiful skyline at the esplanade. While waiting for the traffic light to go green, i noticed it shinning brightly above. Ah.. it has been following me. :) I saw it again when i reached home...just right above where a teenage

孫燕姿《當冬夜漸暖》

2011-05-20T00:17:00.001+08:00

The radio was playing this song while driving to work this morning and it just touches me. It's like the singer was singing to me, it's like the singer was singing my song. 《當冬夜漸暖》詞: 藤井樹，曲:饒善強很多事情不是誰說了就算即使傷心結果還是自己擔多少次失望表示著多少次期盼事實證明幸福很難我們之間不是誰說了就算拉扯的愛徒增結局的難堪一百次相愛只要有一次的絢爛下一次會更勇敢當冬夜漸暖當大海也不再那麼藍當月色的純白變得陰暗那只是代表快樂不再那麼簡單當冬夜漸暖當夏夜的樹上不再有蟬當回憶老去的痕跡斑斑那只是因為悲傷從來都不會有答案當冬夜漸暖

Happy is when your ex teammates ask you to come back to lead the team and they will fully support you in the role. :) It feels good even when you are not at all keen. :)
