| Federal Territory DaySo...how are you enjoying the holiday? Especially since our Selangor friends don't actually have a day off today. :)
I've blogged to gloat.
Too bad I can't enjoy it since I'm in the damn office. :(

| Strangely LiberatingIt's been almost close to 9 months now. You've been in my life and I've constantly been leveraging on you. I didn't quite like the thought of having on in the first place but now it'd seem that I'm actually pretty dependent on you. It's really been the first time since I've not had you along to a place I've gone away from this year. It's strangely liberating and quite refreshing actually. Although there are just as many different distractions but for once it's not because of you.
At any rate, I'm blogging from a different country! It's been such a long time since I can say I've been able to do that because it feels as though I haven't really been away from Malaysia for the longest time and it's really great to get away! And it helps that it's kind of winter-ish at the moment cause I've also kind of forgotten how miserable it is to be cold and hungry. Tokyo's got nothing on Michigan in terms of crappy weather but still, I think I've completely underestimated just how cold cold can be. I've only got...minimal thermal stuff which just means that my pictures will have the same person, with the same clothes...with just differing backgrounds. Haha
Bit disapointed so far though, I haven't seen that many oddly dressed people (odd by my own standards, not really judging on a larger scale) and the girls here don't seem to be all that hot. Maybe cause I'm hanging out in the wrong area. But tomorrow promises to be a better day seeing as we'll be hitting the more shopping-type district. So lets hope there's more to be seen over there.
Strange strange thoughts are entering my mind nowadays. I think I'm getting old. *sigh* Think winter weather plus american movie propaganda always brings out the oddly romantic thoughts. :D I disagree if you say it doesn't matter where you are, but more who you're with...because if you're in a hot, humid, dirty place...it just can't compare with some of the sights and sounds of a different setting.
Anyways, time to catch up on some shut-eye here. Nothing like cold weather to assist in snuggling into the bed. :D Oh, this is also my FIRST time sitting on a toilet seat that's been warmed. A most pleasant feeling I must say. Definitely beats the bite of a cold toilet seat early in the morning. | | |
| The door is ajar...It's strange...when they say that when a door closes, a window opens...
And I mean this in the most literal sense because there's nothing quite as scary when you enter into a bathroom with one of the doors of the stall slightly ajar with the toilet seat covered....to me, it can only mean one thing (this is only really applicable to a shared public/semi-public bathroom)...the massacre from the previous occupant is either still there..be it visibly or the 'essence' is still lingering around.
So you've basically got two options here, hope and pray the other stall (if this option exists) is available and use that one; or hope that whatever reason that you need to use the loo for can wait and you can revisit this later...when the storm has passed and the calm has settled.
Unfortunately there may not be windows in the office loos...*sigh*
Either that or people should learn to flush...thoroughly. (to the theme of Lionel Richie) ..."onceeee....twiceeee... threee timeeeess..." is really not such a bad thing. More civic mindedness than anything is all I ask for.

| The audacitySometimes, I wonder if you even know the gravity and repercussions of your decision(s) and action(s), I don't think you're truly and fully aware of what you say or do and the impact it may have on the others.
I don't think you had a right to say what you said nor have done what you did but ultimately, at the point in time, it happened and more so for finding justification and rationalization in the decision, there's nothing that can be done anymore. So when they say what's done is done, it's true. The only way to move away from this is to look forward and try not to let it seep to deeply and allowing it to fester.
Sure, certain events and every day stresses might have pushed you to the breaking point, but I don't think that that's a sufficiently good enough reason/excuse to absolve yourself of blame.
Can things ever go back to when it was free-er and easier? I sincerely doubt it, because as much as people can distance themselves from the situation, ultimately, if it's significant enough, people won't/can't forget.
Let me just say, it definitely touched a nerve.
On to more interesting news, I was just recently contacted online by someone claiming to have been my teacher while I was in school. Now, to be completely honest, I've absolutely no recollection who this man/lady is. But I do give credit where it's due to facebook because it really does help break down the walls (when used correctly). Of course some people tend to go overboard with the friendliness....which is a story for another day. :D

| More dreams...I made a resolution earlier some time this year that I'd actually try to cut back on the swearing and I think for a while it was working. Unfortunately, over the course of time, I think I've forgotten to remind myself of the promise I've made to myself. Which leads me to my dream, of which I was ... in a most non-aggressive way but using coarse language while speaking to my female colleague in the office. Presumably my swearing attracted my superior's attention because he stood up and made his way over to tell me off for using foul language and being unprofessional in the work place. Interestingly enough, it was an extremely vivid dream with the intonation and pattern of speech matching the person to the tee. Think that it's been a gentle reminder to myself above all else to cut back on my swearing
