was enjoying my usual morning routine- trip to bank, bought the paper, opened the paper... now, did the headline had to say something like, Clerk Not Raped, only Bruises? hey, the woman's dead. what relevance at all did the fact she wasn't violated before being strangled to death? somehow editors' sensitivies aren't the same anymore, and sensationalism seems the order of the day. blame the Malay Mail for that lah. if only to tittilate the male senses would such a headline exist. jeez.

i'm very impressed with my download speeds now, about 8-10 times faster than before lehh!!! getting ICQ took just about 3 minutes! please welcome me to the digital world, i am but a simpleton...

going to distribute brochures in a while. so if u see anyone holding lotsa pink papers - that's me! heh heh heh.

i think blue suits me. today for example: blue car, blue shirt, blue pants, blue watch. hmmppphhh. couldnt find the blue socks and haven't seen any decent blue men's shoes either. would it be too flamboyant?

so - guy in (mostly) blue, getting out of blue car, holding pink papers. that's me for the day. must make note to buy blue-coloured paper next. : )

One Hour Photo was a really good movie. suspense and shocks from beginning to end. recommended viewing, dudes!

love n peace

hi guys!

wow what a long nite it was. mostly spent around the Subang area... had a good jog in the evening, then long dinner exchanging grandfather stories among the 3 of us. then just as i was settling down to One Hour Photo, my aunt and cuz calls me for supper, all the way to USJ 9. good food, this Rest Tanjung. too bad abt the MPSJ pricks who were lounging / camping nearby, disallowing any chance of sitting out in the beautiful open.

then was at this place called Cafe 7 - nice and airy, pool tables, good music. missing was a dancefloor and higher decibel range. will be there again.

damn! lots of crap was happening today. my printer refuses to work properly. my PC is as always its usual self in need of some RAM transfusion. i screwed my database up, losing 2 weeks of information. damn frustrating lah.

in office now. Jamal Abdillah songs being sung. surreal. also antiquated Wings. we are a weird bunch especially when stressed. or bored. or both.

us no-lifers. we're going to Uncle Don, again, tonite. something about the air there i suppose. *sigh* i'll never get down to finishing One Hour Photo.

probably the only thing that went OK was the Streamyx installation. achievement for day: installing network card. simple plug and play. if only the rest of my PC is so cooperative. now i will have no life, in front of PC all my weekend.

i think i've been sitting in this confined space for too long. brain freeze. go out and breathe fresh air. get the blood going. get on with rest of night. yeah babyyyy!!!

laa laa laa la la it's a happy monday isn't it, sun is shining, the birds are singing, the cows are.... milking?!!! errr... somehow lost the flow there.

how was sunday? i'd rather it had been all to myself. it was one of those days when i needed to keep away from humans. so first thing i did was to eat at the kedai kopi after buying the Sunday Star (human contact required). then to the Popular Book Centre at Pearl Point - not the hippest of shopping centres but the closest and it wouldn't be packed with 1.2 million people, like Midvalley. Popular has some good bargains hidden in the racks, i discovered. got meself Mario Puzo's The Family (hardcover,First Edition,2001) for only 16.90. wonder if it will appreciate with time. check e-bay in 20 years' time.

bought my aunt a gift too, book called 'Sari & Sins', wonder if it's any good. among the bargains i should be getting is one Stephen King compile, which includes the novellas Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil. only 12.90 bah! this week it shall be mine... only complaint is that not enough rack space is dedicated to books. so all we get is a few titles as compared to Kinokuniya and MPH. but can do lah for an afternoon without having to face the herds...

aaahhh! the dvd sellers are back in action! heheheheh i need my fix after a month of deprivation! too many re-runs of my old movies. so i bought One Hour Photo with Robin Williams, and Joy Ride, featuring Paul Walker, the cutie from The Fast & The Furious (is the sequel any good?). watched Joy Ride, not too bad, can pass time last night. One Hour Photo looks very promising, so that shall be on the agenda for tonight. bring out the instant noodles, okay! heheheh.

evening was spent putting flyers into postboxes- gotta promote the business, you know! so if u come across A4-sized pink ones, don't throw them away, check it out... and of course was at Uncle Don's for dinner and shisha. i think i kena jampi already lah, can't resist being there a few times a week. not minding the expensive prices and the 20 minute drive to get there... what is the fascination with the place eh? must be the good singalong music. DEFINITELY NOT the giant photo stuck on the wall! have you seen that? no, it can't be viewed from the moon, but from the main road, yes! too much detail, i say...

so went my sunday, my supposed day of rest. i have weekdays which have less to do! ah well. at least i don't have Monday blues. getting everything in perspective from the first minute helps a lot...

okay mateys - have a good one then.

love n peace
