my world 3.0

i do a lot of thinking when i'm driving to work. not so much when i'm driving back home cause by that time, i'm just brain dead and hungry and sometimes just moaning about how i'd rather not do this but i digress.

it's the only time i am truly alone with nothing but my thoughts and the road ahead of me. well, rush hour traffic doesn't exactly have much of a road view. car bumpers, yes. so i make loads of life decisions when i'm driving or at least i think about it a lot. and i'm beginning to see a pattern in my thoughts. from the first day i started working to this very day. i may not have thought about it everyday, but the thought does pop in and out once in awhile. i'd like to step my food down and just charge ahead with it but i also have a rather rational and realistic side to me.

but lately with all that is happening in the world and my lack of knowledge and understanding in my spiritual life, i feel like now is the time i actually do something about it and at the same time finally learning something and doing something that i know that i would like to pursue in the very near future.

work and life balance is of high importance and i'm not going to let that be discounted in whatever i aim to do.

from my understanding of my thought patterns, i'd say this one is pretty consistent. and that's quite a stretch of a statement seeing as how fickle-minded is my middle name O___0 tough life decisions need to be made.

this afternoon, or rather yesterday afternoon seeing it is already after midnight, i had the best lunch ever since stepping into my new position here in KL. i still remember my first lunch. it was at a restaurant serving overpriced dishes of sandwiches and mineral water. i had a wrap which i thought would be hot but was in actual fact cold. yucks.

on my second day, i had a nicoise salad. something which i learned about when i was in europe! it was heavenly. the one in europe, not this one. and my third was a singapore fried meehoon in the restaurant next door.

but today, took the cake. maybe because it was just me in a crowded cafeteria. no idle chit chat. no small talk. no smiling and nodding. just me. sitting and waiting. and if you insist, reading twitter. yes, twitter makes for a very good time idler.

that delightful dish i had that warranted itself a blog post?

maggi sup.

instant noodles never tasted this good.

happy birthday, pui mun!

7 years of friendship and many more years to come. we've been in the same school since form 1 and yet we've only met in form 4 as classmates. 2 years in the same class and look where that has gotten us. we've been through pretty much all the highlights of our youth and now young adult life (OMG that was hard to type. i still like to think that i'm only turning 18)

you're the calm one in the group. you are a level-headed, kind and generous person and there is not a bad bone in you! even when you've consumed more than your alco-tolerance, you're an absolute joy to be with but that's cos you're really funny after you've drank too much! i reckon you should drink more and party it up, yeah!

i don't know about you but birthdays now seem to come and go really quickly. i guess it's true what they say, after turning 21, the years just seem to fly by. but what softens the blow of growing another year older is the realization that you're not growing a year older alone.

you've got us...

ps: did you know how difficult it was for me to find a photo of everyone in it?! very. difficult. we need a new group photo!

and we've got you.

runway/catwalk

these days, i've been checking out fashion blogs and sites. not that its related to my work or anything but fashion is pretty fun, eh? all that mixing and matching and goo-goo-gaa-gaa-ing over must have pieces!

i've seen some pretty shimmery dresses and shoes. hi, fashion designers, i want an invite to your runway shows! i may not be a fashion blogger or a photographer but if i can dress like a fashionista and sling a dslr on top of it, i might as well be one. so many bloggers seem to think they're fashionista's just cause they can pronounce haute couture and pout and squint simultaneously in front of a bare white wall.

i'm just bitter.

i really want to splurge but i'm also very sensible and realize that if i were to splurge, imma be spending pretty much 6 months worth of savings away :( oh i hate responsibilities, i do. i've done the work thing. i've got enough experience to tell my children how tough work is. will some honest good man come and marry me already. honestly!
