my home:

coming back to it, i feel it embrace me like a long-lost family member.
i can almost hear it say, welcome home, my dear, let me hold you in my arms.
and as i lie about the place, it lulls me into a sleep.
as if to share its dreams, hopes and history with me, once again
to the realm where our perceptions of reality breaks down, fades away.
and i can almost hear the whispers of my home, the stories that yearn to be told.
it's almost as if it throbs with a consciousness. it waits and it sees. it listens.
a pulse. almost alive. i forget it's brick, plaster, wood and glass.
don't you feel it, my friends?

my life revolves around paying bills. earn, pay, earn some more, pay even more.

plus my bank is like a giant piranha - as it is my balance sucks but they insist on siphoning some away. jeeez.

*sigh*

what a shitty cycle.

getting out of this capitalist trap now by switching on the DVD - Memento, great movie - and going swimming later (rather, splashing!). nothing like swallows of chlorine in the mouth to clean the pathogens there.

my pal wants to set up a commune. thinking hard about joining up. nothing like a self-supporting organic commune, do some planting, hiking, and all the nature stuff, letting it all hang out... mmm....

taaaa

too much alcohol is bad for the system, and work-day in general. my friend's birthday, and we had too much stout. ouch. still got a slight throb in my head. should be gone by the morning...

wish so much for a nap now. mmm...

seems i must learn some graphic design software like CorelDraw, pronto. should be fun. anyone with any pointers as to the best and easiest one to learn really really fast?

it's August. i'm due for my extended trip to some island paradise. have one getaway planned for September but that's just too far away... Penang sounds like a good place to hang out for a weekend. hello Penangites, here i come!!!

aaahhhh monday's here. welcome! sunday was great, got to drive to Genting Highlands for the day. actually turned up there around 3am. slept a bit then on to the top. with regrets. i really hate the crass commercialism of the entire place. EVERYTHING needs money. luckily the toilets were still free-of-charge. had RM10 mee with roast duck. ouch. by 1pm, couldn't wait to get out of there. best thing was the Coffee Bean's cappuccino and Choc chip muffin (huh? drive one hour to get that sorta thing??? har har. welcome to the global village) in the cool noon air.

bought DVDs after - Mulholland Drive and Queen of the Damned. the former, is one whack movie. i don't get it. sometimes i wish for a linear storyline where everything's answered at the end, no matter how confusing it was during the movie proper? well, this movie doesn't do that. i had half-expected it to end mid-scene, or something like that. that didn't happen, but it was just as confounding. must watch again.

alright, off to the bank now, seems i'm short of money. woops. pity the bank officer (Zam, i think his name is) who keeps having to call everytime my balance is negative... thank you, my man. will see you at the branch in 15 minutes!

have a nice day y'all.
