Doomsday

One friend tweeted "Haiyo world ending tmr is GMT berapa punya time" (On which GMT will the world end).

Coincidentally, I had that in mind too. Will the Apocalypse wait till every part of the world flip their calendars to the 21st or it's going to strike any region that clock strikes 00.00am first.

If it's the former, Asia sort of earn more hours of living compared to Hawaii. If it's the latter, Asia will suffer first and on the other hand, Hawaii gets to prepare for it.

I don't think the world will end tomorrow. But whatever happens, have a great day ahead!

The Return of the Repressed

So while I was checking my snail mail mailbox, a lizard crawled into my t-shirt! For 10 seconds or so, I bet I was the best dancer in the world and if I did the rain dance, I will summon a storm. It felt so geli and I still feel ticklish when I think about it now.

This morning, guess what was my dream?

Gummi crocs or more like gummi lizards come to live and they were crawling all over my room and a couple of it on me!

Lizards, you always give me a heart attack. Appearing out of no where, landing on my foot, excrete all around the house compound, crawl into my shirt... but still thanks for keeping my room mosquito free.

The 'in a nutshell' entry

I've always wanted to write this entry but it just didn't happen because I am not the type to pour out things on my blog. But I really need to seek closure and I guess writing might help?

During a couple of catch up sesion with friends, I was asked the same question over and over again. "What did you do at Langkawi that you had to sleep so late and skip meals?"

I can go on and on to tell them about the car I rode, the hotel I stayed at, how hot Langkawi was, how cheap the chocolates were but I just can't seem to recall anything about what I did and what happened in the media centre. What state of mind I was at?

I know that the event is over and there's no point recollecting it but the fact that fragments are missing is really bothering me. There are days where I really want to go to bed early but I ended up sleeping really late because I was trying to think of the unthinkable.

I swear that I was never a victim of my own mind! Even when I was taught philosophy on existence, I don't over think it. Why am I so vulnerable this time?

A couple of years ago, I always dream of this primary school friend. It was really disturbing because we were not close friends, never kept in touch, does not even know dead or alive. Do I owe him money or something?

One morning, I woke up and told myself, stop psychoanalyzing yourself. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter anymore. You can think about it a million times, and still won't be able to come up with an answer. And after that, no more old friend dreams!

Hopefully, tomorrow when I wake up I'll be able to get over the gaps and worry about some other things like my post grad application!

Till then, I'm just gonna crush whatever that comes in my way.

Who wanna go swing some bat and hit some balls?

Sky before storm

A random tip that my mum told me and I didn't believe until I've tried it.

If you have to drive under the (very heavy) rain, put on your sunglasses. It will help you see the roads better.

Graduation

Yesterday, I officially graduated. No pictures of me tossing the mortarboard because I did not attend the ceremony. I can't recall since when I've told myself that I will not attend my degree's graduation. Anyway, this entry is not about why I chose to graduate in absentia but some thoughts I had last night before going to bed.

Monash, although I've complained so much about the tuition fee, parking wars and overly flavoured cafeteria food, thank you so much for the amazing 3.5 years. I wouldn't be who I am or do what I am doing today if it's not because of you. So....we're pretty much even hah.

If to draw a graph of my years at uni, it would look really extreme. For one semester, I did so well that I received the Deans Recognition Award. And the next semester, I failed a literature subject and flushed my GPA down to the river of Kayu Ara, which explains the .5 year.

Fortunately, there were more good things than bad that happened throughout the years at Monash. Made some really amazing friends and thanks for still keeping in touch with me and being so patient especially when it comes to my ranting session.

Also, Sports Journalism was definitely one of the biggest highlight of uni life. I had so much fun, went through some silly moments, met a bunch of bonafide media representative, and to be able to write/read about things that you like feels really nice. But the best best best part is I was able to earn the best working experience ever thanks to Sports Journalism!

And not forgetting, I ate fire! 

Monash, if you don't mind having me back on campus again, I'll be back!

It's the talk of those who sees it

The weather at the Langkawi Island is like a temperamental woman. It rains and shine without any warning. The bottom line is its humid, hot, rain and all that other characteristics of a tropical island.

So when I came across a penguin fridge magnet that says 'Langkawi', I thought it was really hilarious. Hello? Langkawi is the house for a variety of wildlife and why are the penguins immortalized?

Being that person who would buy things to laugh at, I put one of it in my shopping basket. I felt really satisfied as I thought it would make a good story for one of those catch up sessions.

I did journalism back then in uni and I guess that part of me came back as I felt the need to find out the relation between pengs and Langkawi.

Googled and damn!! They do have penguins at Langkawi's underwater world! I can feel the bubble burst and I bet the penguin is secretly laughing at me!

I ranted about it to my boss (who laughed and bought the fridge magnet too) but unlike me, he defended for the fridge magnet like a proud owner. And he told me 'it is the talk of those who sees it'.

Not too sure what he sees in that fridge magnet but that sure strike a chord on me. Maybe instead of "damn, I laughed for nothing", life would be more enjoyable if I look at it as "my fridge would look so good with this".

The solution to Monday blues

Very simple! Just work seven days a week. You won't even realize its Monday.

Go fix yourself a nice warm cup of tea and melt those blues!

Anyway, Happy Monday everyone! Have a great week ahead while I suffer from some work withdrawal symptoms.
