so it's 2004... our family do was pretty good, with loads of food and laughter (somehow generated by me and my lil cousins - it's just so easy to amuse kids, isnt it?!) and wine. no song and dance though, i must remedy that for the CNY gathering ;)

but then once the party's over and the things are all cleared away... it's the same old life we go back to. i've given up on resolutions on a New Year scale because i think i do that every morning when i wake up, and decide what's gonna happen for me for the day (and usually it ain't much, boo hoo)

it was lovely though, cos the feeling of happiness and joy and hope was palpable in the air... it's nice. another summer of love? i hope so.

last nite was LOTR nite! ROTK was good, but i still maintain the first movie still rocks. nice to see the Shire again, it's just such a peaceful place, ignorant to the fact that some serious earth-shaking was done by those lil hobbits from the kampung...

ok... til next time. telawi, awright?!!

hey it's the last day of the year again!

have a great time celebrating okay! out with the old, eh. i'm looking forward to better times, but aren't we all.

me will be with me family having a grand makan-makan at home, then... who knows. probably go watch fireworks at KLCC or something simple like that.

see ya next year!!!

ec.

after that optimistic entry yesterday... i must say i'm tarnished a little.

why? well:
1. spec lens got shattered during footie
2. house broken in, lost some cash and handphone.

so - again - sms or call me okay, later today after i arrange a phone and a SIM card. shitz.

have a nice day ok! happy new yearrr!

'tis the season to be jolly...

ok i'm back from limbo, again. did a bit of travelling, and Air Asia is turning to crap, especially with its timing and reliability of its planes - always got tech probs? errr... but i suppose it's safer than those buses that keep crashing in Malaysia, eh.

but i will keep taking its flights cos they're cheaper. and more importantly, their level of customer service is generally good. and it takes a lot to please this dude, you know. if they take the trouble to make light banter and enquire about my needs - they've won my heart. even that simple 'don't you want to have anything, sir?' has negated the discomfort of my four-hour wait at the airport...

the holiday season? you can say i've regained much of my faith in the goodness of people. even if it took a thousand kms to find that out. of acceptance irregardless of race, colour, language and creed; the embrace of all that is human. to see the joy, fun and laughter emanating from people whom i hardly know but so ready to share. this is, my friends, the true meaning of being malaysian. not the crap we read about which will remain policies forever, but the real experience of it.

my thanks and love to all those who were at Kg Langsat, Papar, including my beloved mama and daffy... mi amore!

more later...
