don't look back. oh well. its thursday night tonight. creepy.

my attempt at making bento onigiri

the green gooeey stuff was din's idea of cheering me up for my pre b-day. Originally uploaded by kairin.

so in the end. i bought for myself 4 moleskines. set me back for a hundred just for 2 pairs of pocket sized notebooks. would be great to bring along during the little trip.

perhaps visit the new island. pulau batang tegang. since pulau dayang bunting is for the women folk, that's the most happening island for the menfolk. heh. been a very cheery afternoon with shah and sham. glad they invited me along to starbucks.

you know what's funny is how people turn up in your lives. i guess i'm fortunate that mine came in a pair.

and in a way. i kind of discovered something i like about my profession. planning and strategising. that discussion for shah's and sham's endeavour for the near future kind of set something in motion. for them. and definitely for me. discovery by chance.

and yeah. i think that kinda gave me some confidence.

so i laughed a lot. and pretty much destressed. without going to any clubs, drinking any booze, or staying out late. though too bad there won't be a huge cake with someone cute jumping out of it wearing just a bowtie. gah. thankfully still its not just another weekend.

"which one?"



( + ) it takes a whole lot more than that. to dampen a good midweek. and yes it did not. despite missing the train station to city hall. thinking that raffles city is in fact at raffles mrt station.

i was so excited that at last i am heading to donut factory, that i called up my sister who's knocking off work nearby to meet me at raffles mrt to get some dozens of them donuts.

"are you sure?" she said. yes yes yes yes i'm sure, i most certainly was. but of course we all know now that i did not end up getting my hands on any donuts. for that matter. however. sadly. whatever filler word to place here. so instead, we got ourselves some shepherd's pie and pepper chicken pie from The Royals - Caltex House , Basement 1 (Raffles Place MRT).

and got for myself and the boy a banana chocolate and dark chocolate truffles... and so the chocolate cravings has been satiated. and he reminded me that my paunch is showing. damn it. no shirtless walks on the beach.

not to mention i was being a cheapskate. abdaziz suggested that i should pick up some maps to familiarize myself for the upcoming langkawi trip... but instead, i used my mobile phone to pick up bits and information from lonely planet books at pageone.

they sure live up to their world's best guidebooks.

so. the brutal truth of being rejected. is only to realize that in fact there are other candidates who are way better than me. and much more qualified for those posts. i will not let it get to me yet and be all depressed. round one interviews are interviews are interviews.

so we planned to go ikea instead on saturday.

it took me since early this year to find a nice little pouch that i can strap on to my arm. those armband pouch thingies. well the other fact is that i was lazy to look for it hence never found one.

cool air. quiet neighbourhood. long runs. with some music to accompany me. and my thoughts.

good things should not be had every other day. it loses its magic. the feeling dissipates. kenneth is right. let the feeling linger. thats the magic with good things in your life. it shouldn't happen too often. that way its sweeter and stays in your heart much longer.

the cheerleader is saved afterall. save the cheerleader, save the world. and some of the thoughts that ran through my mind as i did my night run... is trying to piece it all together and make some sense out of it. i feel hurt. but i know darn well i was asking for it since the beginning. as they always say, set him free. if its meant to be, its meant to be. nonetheless, if only it was reciprocated.

makes me wish i can vanish without a trace.

resorting to pick up my regular night runs, from where i left off, in order to get away from it all.
