Life's the greatest teacher

Lessons which I have learnt ~ The HARD way:

1) DON'T mix business with pleasure
2) DON'T trust ANYONE
3) DON'T help just anyone. Know darn well who is making use of you. I'd rather help a nobody begging on the streets
4) Take time to contemplate on situations, ANY situation. It'll pay off.... If not able to make any decisions, just make no comment or do anything
5) Do not look too kindly on the confused. The weak do NOT prosper!

Whats dat you say? Lindy???

You know, ever since Alex told me about 'Lindy Jazz'/'Lindy Hip Hop' or something (a dance ~ I hope I got it spelt right) I've been itching to get my legs to jiggy! There is a certain vivaciousness to the whole dance fiesta. Bet it'll feel silly in the first few tries but ummm I think it's BRILLIANT!!!





God BLESS LINDY!!!!

Current read:


Sweeping us into scenes rich with drama, conjuring a world on the brink of destruction-Iran before the revolution-this haunting and passionate novel tells the story of a doomed love affair.

Mahastee grew up in the privileged inner circles of Teheran's aristocracy. Reza, whose father once worked for Mahastee's family, has become a revolutionary leading clandestine meetings in the city's shadowy underworld. When they meet again for the first time in twenty years, their volatile love takes on new and threatening implications as the political situation in Teheran becomes increasingly explosive.

Anahita Firouz belongs to the last generation in Iran who witnessed an entire way of life fall apart. In the Walled Gardens is her evocation of that complex and glittering world-a compelling portrait of a now vanished era, and an unforgettable, revolutionary love story.



The dust of many crumbled cities
settles over us like a forgetful doze,
but we're older than those cities.
..........................................................
and always we have forgotten our former states.....

Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi

A compelling read on my long train rides and moments of solace.....

siong ah

Yesterday had been particularly exhausting.

Got up early in the morning to meet Karl at Cali at 9 am. Pumped, treadmilled, climbed, crunched and steamed as if I was trying to make up for all those lost days at the gym and went on and on till 1pm. Was invited for breakfast by him and his other half. Hehe! I declined, slipping an inaudible excuse. He seemed very disappointed somewhat but I know well that I dont like to be a gooseberry. So it be wise. Instead I gobbled down a hotdog in between the workouts and boy it was GOOD!

Stopped by Al Falah Mosque for Friday prayers before heading to work. It wasn't when Faisal called me later that I found out that he was there as well. Alas we weren't meant to meet. lol! Happy to know that he's found holyday job. I wonder if Raf had called Wing Tai.... hmmmzz

The last customer came in at 8.30pm and had to entertain till 10pm. Was shagged tired as Friday drew to an end. I wish I didnt have to stay to close the place late at night. It was quite eerie with the silence and dark corners and sometimes I thought I heard creaking at the staircases. And to my surprise, when I changed back to my clothes I smelled perfume on my shirt. I dont recall spraying anything on my shirt and neither could I point my finger as to what fragrance it was. (Hugo Boss? Bvlgari? Tommy Hilfiger?) Anyway I think its Bosch who did it before he left. The boy has this penchant for spraying fragrances so I gather he'd thought it'll be nice to share it with me. lol! Well, could be either be that or some pontianak came to leave her imprint on my shirt in an attempt to draw me in.
(you know how they make their presence known through sweet smells) > well if that's the case it aint working on me so take your claws and fangs and main jauh jauh (malay euphemism for 'get lost') muahahaha!

Boss called me as I made my way home in the cab asking me if I could come tommorrow. Haha no sir-ree! Have already told him that my off days are Wed and Sat and I'm off limits! Dont you touch this teng teng teng! I've already given into him before and I dont think its worth it cus I need my own time. My social life takes precedence as I deem it. lol

Having tuition and meeting Alex later in the afternoon for lunch. It'll be cool. I really need a good day's rest. Speaking of which, I better get heaps of zzzz's for now.

Looking forward to a new day!

flabbergasted!

dear dee,
I had fun with my tutee. (hey rhyme!) he's a crazy lil brat. strangely enuff the sunkist amusement comes from him not doing his work and making faces, calling his lil' sister names and how he keeps on going talking about 'ketiak busuk, ketiak kering, ketiak kuning, ketiak basah, hidung berbulu' (smelly, dry, yellow, wet armpitts and hairy nostrils).

It's perpetually irritating and adorable at the same time and .....i can't believe i just said that.... Contemplated many times to strangle him but only managed to pinch his cheeks. His cheeks are flawless, poreless, pimpleless! he'd be the envy of Gong Li! LOL! alas the skins of primary school children! Wait till you get real hair you munchkin!

Finally got my pay from the mum and I'm intending to convert some of it to Yen. and then part if it for transport and savings. Returned Karl's sms with a call and turned out that he wanted to confirm with me abt the Bangkok trip. He's got two other blokes coming along. I dont know them but he's arranging fer us to meet up for coffee just so we'd get aquainted and be pals.

Well, I'm okay with it. Its just that I've been meeting new people all the time and I'm afraid I'm growing out of the novelty of the experience. *shrugs.

Friends ask how have I established such a wide network? how do I meet these people? Well, I just do. But seriously I dont have a network as wide as many would like to believe. I subconsciouly filter out who are for keeps and who are out. Potential troublemakers, vindictive ones, and those who dont give much thought to words. That way, I suppose, I avoid complications in life. Simple? seems like so. Realistic? ~ who am I kiddin' ??? LOL

Alex sent me this article about duck's phallu's. Didnt know their 'johns' curl up and detach themselves and grow new ones every year. hyuk hyuk! >>> Ducky Dickie

yawnzer....

Date: 02 May 2007
Time: 10.23 am
Location: Home in cozy bed
Weather: Rained last night (weee!!)
Stomach status: Empty and growling

I love waking up late mornings not having to worry about schedules, projects, being late for lectures (good riddence!). What would really complete my morning is the sweet taste of Cadbury chocolate...

Surfed youtube and was glad to know that Sonique's "It feels so good" music video is still up. This number has haunted me since my secondary school days. I dont know what it is about this song that made me remember its every beat and groove. Would I say its a classic? in my books it is!




Thanks to Fauzi who's a big fan of Ken Hirai, that I've been downloading all of this songs onto my ipod. Now seeing him how he really looks like on youtube, I must say that I have grown to be a fan. :P He's really puts his soul into his songs. Ayumi told me that he's pure Japanese. I thought he was mixed pan Asian or something. But nonetheless, he's great to listen to on beautiful mornings:









Just slippin in a Lee Hyori ~ She's beautiful! :D
