Sleepwalking

the alarm rang from 8:00am until 8:45am. Snooze after snooze, there was still no movement.

9:00am. the body moved itself to the bathroom for the morning ritual. In the mirror, the girl looked decent to leave the flat.

9:20am. I arrived office. Said good morning to the air and kicked start my work day. I turned on Lotus Notes, read the unread messages. I preferred to click those non work related emails.

10:00am. Meeting. 11:00am. Another meeting. I talked.

Through out the day, I heard conversation within.

Iboss

TGIF. It was a tough work week.

My Iboss turned into a total bitch this week. We had an intensive discussion in the team meeting with the presence of other two. She refused to listen and repeated the same accusation on me. After explaining it nicely for two times and the third time, I raised my voice.

That's me.

Planning for Europe Trip

A new blog is started for my Europe Trip in May 2006. My travelling partner, Ms. Ming will be one of the contributors too. We will record the whole planning process and diarise the actual tour. Pictures will be shared afterwards.

It is a small project that I am going to focus on at the moment... Cool!

Friday home

Just want a quiet Friday night. So, I politely refused a few parties and cooked at home.
I am conscious about my choice of staying home for a quiet evening. Simply enjoyable!

talk too few... or not

I am confused, like most of the youngsters I met.

I was told "hey, be yourself and talk more."; "don't be so quiet, guys would not know your true personality".

I was told "probably you talk too much, that's why you turn guys off..."

Should I or should I not... talk?

Read Read Read!!!

Less internet (down to 1.5 hr per day), more reading. I can't become an illiterate...

Disoriented

adj 1: having lost your bearings; confused as to time or place or personal identity

I have experienced a moment of disorientation. I opened my eyes, the sky was dim. According to the clock, it was 5:00. Was it a.m. or p.m.?

Innocent

Remember how we met new friends at playground when we were young? The friendship was innocent and simple. This afternoon, I met two at Daan Park.

Are you ready for the roller coaster?

"... I stood for a long time by the roller coaster, and I noticed that most people get on it in search of excitement, but that once it starts, they are terrified and want the cars to stop.

What do they expect? Having chosen adventure, shouldn't they be prepared to go the whole way? Or do they think that the intelligent thing to do would be to avoid the ups and downs and spend all their time on a carousel, going round and round on the spot?"

Quote from Eleven Minutes ~ Paulo Coelho

Turning our backs to paparazzi

moments...

yeah, most of the time, people do not like to listen to the truth, especially sad truth. however, only the truth would wake you up from dreams; as if someone is tapping on your shouder while you are sleepwalking.

I have been through some emotion ups and downs these weeks. May be I need another holiday to recover or a spa session. Well, no more nonsense. Its time to wake up and gather myself.

It is time to get serious about finding the answer to the question: "What do I want?"

This blog entry is written specially for one person to read -> me.

...

over MSN messenger, here is an extract of our conversation:

A : I prefer honest / straight forward guy than a hypocrite
B : Yah, I am always honest and straight forward unless I want to sleep with you

Post birthday activity

Two unexpected invitations received on Friday and Saturday evening. Thanks to Sherry and Stephanie. They were like refreshers to my fuzzy week. Meeting different people solidfied my experience in Taipei.

Here is a picture of my very own sashimi dish at Mitsui Restaurant, Oishi~:

Quotation

It might not be a bad idea to share this. From the bottom of my heart...

My apologies, guys!

I hate horror movies.

If you know you would be scared, why would you sit in and watch (Japanses ones are worse) ? Just for the thrill of it? What about the countless nightmares and the insecurity came afterwards?

You know what is worst? Being dragged into the cinema and forced to watch a horror by daring ones. In this situation, I would come up with a thousand and one excuses not to go.

I realised I have done something as irritating, unintentionally. Here, I apologise.

... wanting part of her... and not all of her

Ray: Just so you know. I'm sorry for the way I treated you.
Mirabelle: I know.
Ray: I did love you.
Mirabelle: All right.

Narrator: As Ray Porter watched his Mirabelle walk away… he feels a loss. How is it possible.. - he thinks.
..to miss a woman whom he kept at a distance..
..so that when she was gone..
..he would not miss her.
Only then did he realise how wanting part of her..
..and not all of her..
..had hurt them both..
..and how he cannot justify his actions..
..except that..
..well..
..it was life.
