I thought after the long 4 days weekend, I would be all geared up for work today. Unfortunately I was caught with a fever which I think is spreading around real quickly.
After my one-to-one session with HR earlier in the afternoon, I felt demotivated to work. The clock was ticking very slowly and by the time it was half past five, the angry clouds came and darkened the city centre. Then it started pouring and everyone was trapped in the building. Perfect.. just when I wanted to leave badly, it rained like nobody's business.
Suddenly...
"Attention.. attention to all staffs. The underground gate is closing. Please remove all cars as water level is rising.."
Woohoo! That was my cue to leave. I was actually hoping for the whole building to black out but this was good enough. So I left the office just to be stuck in the traffic jam.

take it slow
I'm dreading the days to come. There is no such thing that I look forward to anymore and I think I know why. I'm slowing transforming to somebody I'm not.
Lately I often think about my study days, and oh boy don't I miss them. I miss the flexible hours and the freedom to wear anything. I miss the walks around the city and in the parks envying lovers holding hands and enjoying each other's company. I miss talking to friendly strangers about the news and current happenings. I miss the feeling of not having to worry about anything.
I feel like sobbing my eyes out for no particular reason just to let go of my frustrations. I am already halfway through isolating myself. This is perhaps healthy for me as I need some space to evaluate my future.

with you
I've been listening to Chris Brown's With You repetitively these days and I've made some changes to the song. It goes:
Cause if I've got shoes,
I don't need money,
I don't need cars,
Babe you're my heart.
I know it doesn't make sense, but whatever makes me happy right? This keeps running in my head so I thought maybe I should go shoe shopping on Facebook. Guess what I found?
The exact shoes I bought last week except that mine are gorgeously pinkish purple.
I want to go to Fashion week.

Penang 08
Moi is back. Having a 3 day weekend was such a luxury. As we enter adulthood, we seldom get days off. So once the opportunity is there, we take it and go to places. This time it's Penang once again with the amazing road runner of mine.
The three of us left KL on Hari Wilayah (Federal Territory Day) for Penang feeling very excited for the road trip. I was kinda worried to be driving because you see, I have never driven my car outside Klang Valley! It was the first time to check the tolerence of the car and hey, I'm back now in KL in one piece and most importantly the car is also back in one piece. So I suppose, the road runner has done me proud and it deserves a pat on its back.
Although, the indicator lights circuit got messed up half way to Penang. All indicating lights - on the speedometer, front and back of the car didn't flash when I put the indicators on. It was a bit frustrating to drive without proper indicator lights and only my passengers and I know how I warned cars when I wanted to switch lanes. But it was all fixed in Penang after I met up with my car-enthusiast uncle.
There we were! Very glad once we reached Penang. That was when the food feast begin. We ate and ate until we felt very guilty on the way back to KL.
We had a lot planned on the next day. First, we stopped by Penang Hill (Bukit Bendera). I was born in Penang and have gone back countless times and yet I have never been to Penang Hill until last Saturday. We took the tram up the hill so that we could enjoy the beautiful view of Penang Island.
After the visit to the hill, we kinda went around the island just to find the right way to my uncle's place. We passed Gelugor, Georgetown, Bayan Lepas and finally I managed to get the bearing right. Got my car fixed there and enjoyed good food my aunt cooked while watching the Amazing Race Asia marathon.
Next stop was the Batu Ferringhi beach. We wanted to relax while reading a book but I ended up getting drenched in sea water. The culprit has to be my little brother, the one and only naughty boy in the family.
I said to him, "Let me take a picture of the sand angel". So he did this when the sun was shining right down on him. At least this time I didn't go to the beach during lunch time! That was one crazy idea.
We planned to chilled along Gurney Drive at night but unfortunately it rained so heavy and we got really soaked! Had dinner at Gurney Plaza and wanted to call it a day after that. But it was still raining and no way were we going to get wet all over again. So we went shopping......
.... and I got these!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooooh.. my best buy to date. Honestly, I seldom do this but they were having half price sale! The perfect souvenirs from Penang :)
