L'été Abstrait

Tonight I surprised even my own self. During dinner, the daughter of the restaurant owner (who I must say went all out of her way to accommodate us) caught my attention. I can honestly say that I think she’s extremely alluring if nothing else. She was well mannered, had impeccable spoken English and even though it was Buka time and we came late, she was still friendly enough to bring us our food with little or no complaints. On the way out, a friend asked what her name was and what she was currently doing. She said she was a student. I honestly thought she was 20 at the least. Nope. Ladies and gentleman…this girl…she was still in high school. Crap. Not again. I’m definitely not going down that route again. Nope nope nope. Everybody laughed. Hawhawhaw.

Friends, it is always good to know that when you’re down and out we’ll still have each other to fall back on. Yet its fair to assume that even the best fall down sometimes. Even the wrong words seem to rhyme. You tell yourself that it’s easy to get someone off your mind. You wake every morning to the sound of birds chirping merrily by your windowsill. You go to work, you go to school, you have your chats and your calls. You trundle along with the world around you, fast paced; with little or no regard for one another. You tell yourself that you have a fair advantage on who you should choose to stand by you in your pursuit of material, physical and emotional wealth. You drag yourself every time you’re on that linoleum floor. Teeth, bones, skin, tearing itself apart. You believe that you’ve never been happier. You understand that you can’t choose who you think about. You know silently that age is creeping up on you every single day. You cringe every time you open your mailbox; who’s getti...

I just stumbled upon an online confession booth where everyone sends their postcards anonymously..reciting to the world what their secrets were. Here are some of the more 'spicy' ones.

Malaysia definately boleh. Shayna Zaid who was raised in KL for abit before returning back to the States has released some of her tunes online. Her EP should be out be year's end. Give it a listen. You'll definately be mesmerized. I know I was. And to those of you who's either heard, known or seen Shayna before, yes it's the same Shayna. So be a true blue/red/white/yellow Malaysian and spread the word. Oh and don't swoon too much while listening to her songs. I know of a few friends who just simply can't get enough of her music. :) Shayna Zaid A message from Shayna Oh Thanks Eddie! Thank you so much for your kind words, love and support...I appreciate the time you have taken to have a listen to my music! :) I'm glad you enjoy what you hear! I'm working on finishing up my album and it's coming out better than we expected! I promise I won't let you down! ;) Thanks again for your support and send me your email address so I can keep you posted on my ...

What you've all been waiting for. Premier of Quarter Three is just a click away. Enjoy people. Cheers.

I wanna go for a picnic. I don't know why. I've not been on one since i was five. I think now's a good time. Some nice photographs to pass the time till i decide where to picnic.

It wasn't till 6 in the morning did I get to close my eyes and drift off to sleep. It's funny how the mind keeps telling the body that it's still fresh even though every bone in your body is aching for a well deserved break. I just couldn't stop thinking. I spent half the night listening to an advice given by a stranger from a foreign land. My mind was reeling and bouncing off my fears, tribulations and apprehensions. I kept asking the wrong questions, yet his answers were firm and spot on. Imagine shooting blindly at the sky and still getting some parakeets killed in the process. That's exactly what I went through last night. I didn't even know I needed his advice, but as the minutes rolled into hours and his role as an advisory adult slowly slithered away into a more calming, relaxed conversationalist, we carelessly folded up our sleeves and started to crack jokes on how stupid we all are when we think with our minds instead of our hearts. "You think too ...

Right. It's past my bedtime and I'm still up listening to some Cafe Del Mar amidst a darkened room, with little or no ambient lighting at all - well aside from my Mac that is. Tonight I learned a new lesson. I learned that some friendships much like wine, appreciate with age. Age adds a certain colour and flavour to your conversations as you cherish the moments you shared together whilst laughing and tearing over the present. You cough up new ways of telling an old tale, adding bits and pieces you never knew existed as everyone throws their memories into the mix as well. Imagine a bowl of Laksa, without the pointy fish bits and you pretty have a rough idea how jumbled up things can get. I've lost a few friends along the way, I'm sure we all have. In some weird twist of fate, you do understand that all things happen for a reason, and not all of them beneficial to you at that time. As you grow older, you realise that there are a great many things that we all could've ...

When I'm bored I am: If I were to be a hero in a movie I would be: If I were a nerd I would be:

Muslims the world over celebrate the joy that encapsulates Islam's most holiest month. It is not Raya that should be celebrated with glee and colourful sarongs and baju melayus alone, Ramadhan should be given equal if not more precedence. So to all my muslim brothers and sisters, may you have a very enlightened and wondrous month. Keep your vigil and faith strong, and enjoy the festivities of the Bazaar Ramadhan's and late night 'teh tariks'.

An interesting dilemma popped up in my mind a few days ago. Imagine this; you're alone in a courtroom, and your best friend is on the stand fighting for his very life and you have two very distinct options to choose from. Give your friend that shaft and save your own life, or shaft yourself in the jail cell with him for committing perjury on his behalf. Oooh, so many choices, so little time. On the one hand, society cannot function without honesty, so therefore you know it's right to offer your services to the prosecution. But then again, friendship is supposed to be an unshakeable bond which cannot exist without loyalty. So it is also right that you should keep shtum. Well, I thought about this long and hard in the shower this morning and I've decided I'd squeal like a baby. Because you know something? Friendship is like a gigantic sand dune, seemingly huge and permanent, but one day you get up and it's gone. Back in the college days, I spent pretty well every sing...

My childhood memories are filled with lacklustre sporting performances at school, way too little involvement in any other extra curriculur activities which focus on anything other than my thumbs and had trophies of Nintendo boxes on my bedroom wall. Yup, I was your garden variety nerd. In some ways, I have to hand it to Anis for actually forcing me to Gym in Melbourne a few years back. Funnily enough, I think that was my first ever dose of any sporting activity! Well aside from some lazy Badminton, and some pretend Basketballing to hang out with some girls, I pretty much had zero sporting interest. We both had a personal trainer whom we knew was over charging us, but we decided that the opportunity to work out and lose a few dozen pounds was worth more than a couple of hundred bucks a month. At least we'd have saved some money on that dilapidated hospital bed we would've visited more regularly had we decided to skimp on a few bucks and braved the unruly act of lazing about prof...
