My Life Thus Far

(1) As we are blissfully unaware of an impending world financial crisis, us Malaysians folks are happily spending what little money we have in preparation of a single day which is suppose to be a joyous one. Why is it a joyous one is beyond me. It will end by noon anyways as by then all would be stuffed with lemang and rendang and is looking forward for a nice noon nap.

(2) When i turned on the BBC news just now i saw a blown up Gen2, for a moment there i thought terorism has finally reached our shores. It turned out to be a bomb somewhere in Syria. Pheww.. I guess we have to thank the men and women in the police/intelligence/army service for that. Like it or not, there has yet a single assasination and bombing to happen in Malaysia. In our neighbouring country of Thailand and Phillippines and Indonesia it happens like a daily fact of life.

(3) I am thankful for today. Today is the day i finally get to unwind, rest, wake up late, do my laundry, watch old movies (Casablanca is my new favourite). Even then these kind of days seems to be getting rare and rare. Sigh. And all i wanted was a day to relax. Is that something too much to ask?. I guess thats life. Roll with it. At the very least itll make me cherish the day even more.I am very protective of my weekends and free times nowadays. This is mostlly due to the fact i have so little of it.

(4) I miss Ashley and Keisya, I wonder how those two little ones are doing? i bought them bunga api but havent gotten the time to give it to them. Hmm... maybe tomorrow.

(5) Sometimes i wish there's a Starbucks or somethinng like the cafe in Friends where Joey and gang hangs out, somehow Malaysia has yet to achieve that level yet, we're still pretty much a mamak and Uptown kinda level yet. Not that i have much complain, but a change of scenery would be nice, the Starbucks at Shah Alam right now is my fav, but heck its way too far to go now.

(6) Casablanca: OMG what a great movie!!!....i know it was made like in 1 AD or something but heck it is such a great movie, i guess the reason why i like it is because how they talk and dress in the movie, men greet, bow, and behave in a most gentlemanly manner. even the police dont just arrest the fugitive in the middle of the dinner, They request the fugitive to come to the police office, and whey,....the fugitive even came. i know i know its a pipe dream but hey..wouldnt it be nice if all people talk and behave like that. I know some people say its old school but i guess im someone who was schooled in the old school ways. i do not believe in all this looking and acting rebellious to look cool nonsense. One should always be courteous at all times.

(7) Raya is coming up, i am glad, the only reason why i am glad is because all this nonsense is nearly over.
