Obviously, the above title is taken from a Beatles song. Kind of appropriate as I am taking this time to thank my 2 friends that hang out with me today @The Curve.
Things didn't start off quite as I planned - in the worst of timings, my voicebox just gave out. I almost decided to cancel the whole thing off...in retrospect, I'm glad I showed up after all.
I showed up at around 11.30pm with a game plan in mind: watch movie at Cineleisure + Lunch + Browsing MPH & Borders...after which would just coincide nicely with the meeting time. Turns out the movie I am looking forward to watch (Dan in Real Life) is not listed...and other selection either sucked or didn't coincide with my planned time sheet. So I ended up with A LOT of dead time on my hands. Had lunch at Vivo (a pasta/pizza joint) - reasonable price, pizza tasted....kind of watery? Maybe my tastebuds is screw up after having that fever a couple days prior.
Then, when my comrades joined in...we hang out at Starbucks for tea. Not literally, I had Mocha Latte not tea....anywayyy...three of us had a nice chat. Well, it's more like me becoming an audience to a talk show as I can barely muster words without hurting my throat.
As we move on with dinner later at Secret Recipe, the topic gravitated towards more serious stuff: career and my lack of love life (hahaha). Well, not so much on the latter though. Both of them brings up some valid points - Lady Sunshine especially drives the point home. It's kind of...it felt like being knocked out with the fist of truth. I was kind of dazed as I realized the last several years of my life had been...insignificant. I realize that all along, and I'm not even upset...but I was stunned for a good while. So much so that I comically got lost on the way home, and stumbled onto a much better route home.
You guys really gave me a lot to think about, and I appreciate that. To both of you, I wish you well in your future endeavors - while I shall look forward to board my train to Destiny.

Express Notes - CNY Edition
First of all, Gong Xi Fa Chai. The roads were nice & quiet leading to the holidays...making driving a lot less stressful for a change. Gonna miss that.
Recent movies watched: Cuci & John Rambo/Rambo 4. The former was alright, though not quite up to my (unrealistic) expectations, but good first directorial effort by Hans Isaac. Quite entertaining, and there are worse ways to spend my cash (like watching AVP:Requiem or Hitman). Looking forward for more, Mr. Isaac.
The latter...whoa. Stallone's John Rambo return to the big screen and is taking no prisoners...and I could summarize the movie with these words: 'mutilated body parts'. The baddies were built to be 1-dimensional scumbags, and when they get wasted by the good guys...they REALLY get wasted. Mindless & rather violent, but highly entertaining action flick.
How did I spend my CNY holidays?
- Thursday: went to the market & monthly shopping at Giant Shah Alam. Treated the family to yet another kopitiam-style joint for lunch. These things are everywhere now. The Mocha Latte is heavenly, oh yesss.
- On Friday, went back to the former family residence in Port Klang and got to play gardener for a day. Lots of overgrown weeds, grasses, plants...I took them all out. Mercilessly. People are inquiring to rent the house, while we really want to sell it off. Tense.
- Saturday at KLCC, got to hang out with my clique; my boys, my fellow comrades Ben and Wes. Bought some books from Kinokuniya: The Comic Toolbox, a Web Designer mag, and an Immortal Iron Fist Graphic Novel. Our talking points this time around seems to be more serious than usual...but without leaving the lighter/goofy stuff behind. I guess we're...getting older? Had a great time, but bugged by headache on the way home. Thanks to Benjamin for the Cromartie High dvd, and I wish you well in your 'war', Wesley. Keep it real, homeys.
- Sunday, feeling the ongoing wrath of the damn headache. And wishing that I had more off days to spend. Oh well...hope I could recover by tomorrow, and threw myself head first into the rat race once more.
It's 12.10am on Monday, and it's officially the end of my CNY holidays. Welcome back, my stress-filled days.
