rambling alert. if you want to maintain the illusion that i'm an interesting person, pls skip this post & come back again on Sunday.

class is beginning to tire me out.. i really hate assignments and exams but would reluctantly concede that they are good for me. what was it that the bible say about discipline again? *grumbles* looking forward to a break next sem.. hehe.. i'm glad i could go for classes because i want to, instead of because i have to, or because it's a routine i've developed. and it's not so much of keeping the momentum, cos i'm not in a paper chase. it's just one of those things i really enjoy :).. til the routine gets overwhelming.. and because most good things aren't so good when you have too much of it (4th piece of KFC anyone?), this break would do me good. plus, i've checked the calendar - nothing interests me, so it's just nice! ^^

ok, this is gonna be a l-o-n-g post. so i finally get to use this nifty little tag to hide the bulk of it. i'd like to call it my muu-muu tag. haha.. do click it -- there's a nice song at the end that you could chk out, even if you dun wanna read the rest, which would be probably good for your health. ^^ live long and prosper. _\\// (does that look like the vulcan salute? hahaha..)




very recently, i was so convinced that Jesus was gonna make his big comeback during my lifetime, this generation. to say that i was upset about the wickedness i hear and see, or saddened by the non-stop catastrophes hitting every part of the world, is rather an understatement. will he? i don't know. he told us the signs that will hint of his imminent return but at the same time also said that no one knows the hours.. so go figure. maybe when everything seems to settle down, and when we begin to enjoy relative prosperity after the crisis scare and bencana alams, will he then make his appearance. wadever it is, i don't want to guess.. but our cry remains, come Lord Jesus come!

as with every pursuit, the more you learn and know and understand and see, the more you realise how tiny you stand next to just knowledge alone. but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. haha.. i used to have that quote plastered over my file back in Form 6. it sounds so cool, but i don't think i understood it then. do i even understand that now. or anything at all.

met up and had lunch today with two ppl from the good old days of 2006. haha.. 2006 - a year that at the same time feels like a long time ago yet not that long. met these two kids at a career fair my comp was participating in (this was back in my 'online job agency' days.. where i carted that 15kg display thingy all over to promote our website. bleh..) anyways, jesse and edwin were students in MMU Cyberjaya who were part of the organizing team for the event.. somehow we chatted and kinda kept in touch thereafter.. FB, occassional season greetings.. didn't think we'd meet up for a meal, cos i didn't think we were that kinda friends. lol! it's fun catching up. speaking of catching up, i've a whole list of appointments waiting to be set up. sigh, the days are short.

this reminds me of kang. met him over lunch a couple of times the past two weeks cos he was working nearby (he's an auditor - happened to be posted to a comp near KLCC).. i was calculating, i knew him since he was 10 years old. 0_o and now he's this grown man with his shirt and tie and buying me lunch and being a peer (yeah yeah i very perasan ok. did i tell you the other day my new colleague thought that i was a FRESH GRAD? *smug* ahahhhaha.. please mind your preposition - laugh WITH me, not AT me) where was i? i was browsing my flickr pics yesterday, and i saw some pics of us together - on top of Mount KK! it's one of the times i cherish most in our friendship. the months leading up to his departure to Aus to complete his studies back in 2007, i would tear at the thought of his absence. now we hardly see each other, even though we attend the same church. haha..

i'm rambling, see? sigh, it didn't start out this way. maybe it's because of the "proper writing" i have to do at work. i really do hate writing. hahaha.. unbelievable. but you blog. it's different la. not again? you wanna leave ah? no la, not pulling that stunt again. twice bitten, eternal nemesis. but yeah, a lot of things are going on at work which displeases me so much. but i'm reminded that my obligation and my responsibility as an employee need to be fulfilled no matter what.

speaking of work.. every now and then, i will think of the monstrous ms nomer. i only pray that over time, i'd completely forget about her. it was exactly one year ago yesterday that i was in KL Hilton organising the comp's investment conference.. the stress, goodness. i don't fancy myself ever being a position like that again. but who knows. i'm not ready now thou.. gimme some time to prep up. i've often wondered what i would do if i were to terserempak with her on the streets.

it's been pointed out that i'm a poor listener and the only thing worse is my speech. gargh! i don't need to tell you how i sound like right? how i eat half my words and mumble the rest. sometimes even intentionally, when i don't really want you to hear what i wanted to say, but that i still want to say it somehow. well, gonna try to improve on these areas la.

can't wait for April -- spell that H-O-L-I-D-A-Y!! it's gonna be a WET one :D destination: north! wayy north! need to save money.. pocket's pretty tight this year. but i love my car, so it's ok. hahaha.. ^^

but before i could go for that trip, i'd be away in the deep jungle of sarawak.. our company is organising a medical outreach program, jointly with kuching specialist centre.. volunteer doctors would fly into the jungle and offer free med checkup for the indigenous communities in the vicinity of our operation base. there are about 15 villages this time round (the second time we are doing this).. i'll be there to show my pretty cina face. hahaha..

i think i look horrible. saw the pics i took via my lappie webcam. i didn't like what i see la.. pale face.. mega dark rings under the eyes.. uneven skin tones.. barely there eyes.. wah i shd stop complaining.

i know why i'm rambling. chongy, where are your ears!?

*yawns*

i love this song. best experienced if you hear it first thing in the morning. i hope you reached this part of the post, even if it meant that you scrolled down directly from the top.

nitenite, folks.

morning sunrise, open my eyes
and I can tell it’s gonna be a good day

did you sleep well? did you dream at all?
can you tell me the time on the alarm clock?

I can tell it’s gonna be a good day

but you can sleep in
you just keep dreaming for us

priscilla ahn :: a good day (morning song)
