Happy Chinese New Year!

It's the time of the year when...
You eat like its nobody's business
3 meals daily became 7
Indulging in ALOT of cookies and cakes is not sinful
Fireworks and firecrackers are legal though its banned~
Old Town Cafe became the most happenning place in town
and not surprisingly, ALL gatherings were held there..

It's high time of the year when...
You dig deep into your vocabulary reserves for the sweetest of greetings (and not to mention, longest)
Your sense of dressing gets judged publicly
and your hair
and your shoes
Interrogations interrogations interrogations
Questions are thrown smack at your face and this time around, they demand answers.

Memorable moments:
A reunion with the people I've known the longest, 20 years. woohoo!
The best part about the reunion is seeing how people you've known for the past decade became who they are today. Past conflicts forgotten, friendships renewed.

I find myself still talking about my late doggie. I don't think I'd ever have another dog like that. It's hard to settle for a less smarter one. Sigh. Plus I'm not allowed to get one any sooner, cos mum demands that I take care of my own doggie, not just leave it hanging around the house while I'm away in KL. Ish. I miss seeing Dan jumping up and down in excitement upon seeing my car at the front gate. I miss seeing Dan and his best mate the crazycat playing with each other. I miss seeing Dan chewing crazycat's ears til its dripping wet with saliva. I miss seeing his frightened face whenever the lightning strikes. He's so loveable.

Unwind unwind

What better way to unwind after a long day at work?

Life's been hectic. Nothing else besides work. Other than the necessities like food and enough rest. Imagine laying motionlessly on the bed when its only barely 1030pm. But at least I get a really good rest each night, the last thing I saw is the 1030 on the wall clock the night before, and the next on the line was 8am on my alarm.

Sleeping is after all a big deal. Heh. I recalled someone once said that sleeping at the wrong times of the day, might affect your mood, ie getting up a little moody or at the Off side.. However I never sleep on afternoons (otherwise I'm under medication due to sickness). Some just pig the afternoon away. I wish I could. Perhaps others arent gifted with that, so I'm gona try to discover that hidden 'talent'.

Being a close friend to others doesn't mean you know every single detail about the person's whereabouts, what they are up to, and Everything about that person. Some people just don't get it. Hence the phrase "You're closer to this person, you should know it better than I do". Even in relationships, the idea of "reporting all the time" is just so not necessary.

Its funny how these people just prefer the shortcut way of winning over the person they claimed to love. As in finding out about a person from a third party. I don't see how they can put the information they get to good use. You can go "Oh this person is like this this and that. Cos someone said so". Cos someone said so? Nah, cos you don't know shit about what you're dealing with. How can you claim that you love someone when you'd prefer to find out about that particular person through someone else? But at the same time, I cannot deny the fact that sometimes when we're too focused on something, we sometimes lose our judgements. Your mind shrinked, everything narrows down when it comes to this. Therefore its only normal to seek a third party person, to shed some light on the matter.

But what if seeking for advise goes out of way? What about when suspicion and doubt were thrown at your "light shedding speech"? You cant possibly expect everyone's point of view to be exactly the same as yours. Just don't work this way.

I guess that things are clearer when you see things the way they are, your own untainted opinions and through your own observation. You should know where this is going, and how its gona be, not what others tell you. It's not a one or two day thing, it takes time. Shortcuts don't work all the time. You're still clueless about the whole thing in the end.
