Mood: Contented

Listening to:  甘 願 為 您 by Miriam Yeung

It’s been a hectic week.

A week of ups and downs.

It started poorly… but as of tonight, things seem to be getting better…

****

Work has been frantic, but finishing on a project always brings satisfaction.

I’m getting to know my new boss better; conversing in cantonese better and, hence, building rapport with my new colleagues; discovering new and intriguing places near my office to eat lunch; getting proficient at my work.

The list goes on… surprisingly, I’m actually enjoying my work!

*****

Social life is more quiet than my home ground, but quality friends are there… people I can count on and trust at any time.

This weekend will be packed with activities, which is always good to have something to look forward to and make productive use of the weekend, apart from spending it sleeping in.

Discovering pockets of hidden surprises is indeed fun. So far, I’ve yet to explore Sri Hartamas area, Subang and PJ.

Looks like I’ve got the next few weekends covered.

*****

Love life, or the lack thereof, is still a little shaky.

But after tonight, at least I know where I stand and what I need to work on.

A little bit of competition is healthy, but it’s been a while since I last competed for anyone.

I think I’m losing my touch… but then again, perhaps I’ve met the one…

An evening spent having dinner at Kampachi where we chatted for hours, it was a little sad to have it end. Time truly flies by in a blink of an eye…

I feel I’m starting to truly comprehend her and listening to her reminisce the past has helped to clear any misconception I previously had.

Well, these sort of thing can’t be rushed, and I’m determined not to let go of happiness this time.

We’ll see how things go by the next couple of weeks…

*****

Coinciding with a positive turn of events since midweek, I’ve started doing something I haven’t done in years.

I’ve started praying again.

Specifically, praying the rosary.

I’ve never been a devout Catholic, nor do I attend mass every week without fail.

But, being in a church when it’s empty or meditating on the rosary has always brought peace to mind.

Especially when one is troubled with too many thoughts.

I guess it’s true what they say – a little prayer does go a long way…

Mood: Contented

Listening to: Concerto No 21 by Mozart

Harmony.

A sense of perfect balance.

Everything is where it should be.

A moment in time, flawless in its entirety.

*****

Absence does make the heart fonder.

Sometimes, too long an absence makes the heart forget.

Perhaps, only by forgetting do we achieve the purity of heart and clarity of mind.

In the stilness that follows, we can finally achieve peace and harmony of body and soul.

Mood: Relaxed

Listening to: Hitz TV on Astro

Time flies so quickly without realisation.

Chinese New Year is almost over, my long-awaited trip back to Kuching has ended and now my real adventure begins.

In a space of 3 weeks, I’ve rushed through the following activities…

1. Reunion with my mum and dad – who never cease to drop hints about my getting hitched…

2. Reconnected with high-school friends, ex-colleagues, old flames – funny how almost everyone is married, except me…

3. Met new friends and acquaintances – I’m slowly organising the names and numbers in my phonebook…

4. Celebrated CNY and visited too many homes while having eaten, drank and gambled too much – I’ve put on 3 kgs…

5. Got a new job, new house, new car – I just need a new free “personal assistant-cum-translator”…

Yes, it’s been a hell of a month. And it’s been really fun.

And now I’m back in Kuala Lumpur.

So far, the past few nights have been no less exciting.

I’ve gotten myself lost while driving – even with the GPS on – and encountered road blocks while trying to familiarise myself with new hangouts.

Today, I’m taking it easy.

Special mention goes out to the very beautiful Eiling who has been extremely gracious, accommodating and helpful during my initial trip here. She treated me to a scrumptious steamboat dinner and the most exquisite roast-pork lunch ever :)

I’m looking forward to doing a bit more exploration this weekend, once I’ve gotten enough sleep to make up for the past month…

Mood: Mixed Feelings

Listening to: I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane by Aerosmith

I’ve packed my bags, all ready to go.

Saying goodbye without knowing when I’ll be back again.

KL, here I come.

What life holds for me, no one knows.

Only time will tell…
