i got my car back.

as predicted - whatever that could be removed, was removed. so began my run-about for the day. nobody wanted to take responsibility. the cops sent me all over the place. the investigating officer didn't want to do any work on his own. wonder what's he paid for. I was told to go do the paperwork for that dude. imagine. in this day and age, these authority figures STILL don't get the usefulness of utilising their computer systems which ARE already in place. huh. think i should go into Info Systems and make my main customer the Govt. I'd be rich in no time at all. suckers.

apart from this frigging glitch, life's pretty good. biz should be picking up this half. i should be able to pay the bills. finally. my phone line won't get cut and i'd still be able to get online. i'd still be connected to the wonderful world of ASTRO. I LIVE!

time to get some breakfast. not even 8am and i'm already hyped up about my day. wantan mee should be good to kickstart everything. oh how i wish i was in Penang now, to have some heavenly char koay teow. or hokkien mee.

1. Hokkien mee (Penang) - noodles in prawn-based spicy soup, with chicken/pork, kangkung (water convulvulus, hee hee), egg, and taugeh (bean sprouts, is it?!)
2. Hokkien mee (Klang Valley) - noodles fried in a blackish soya sauce base, with pork, pork lard, veggie, fish cake. Tastes like heaven especially with sambal, garlic and cili padi.

This morning i'm referring to (1). don't think i can find (2) at 8am. Is Fried Hokkien Mee a lunch/dinner/supper dish? i believe so. but then - since when were we Malaysians subject to such decorum? anytime is a good time to eat anything, right?!!! hee hee.

off i go for my makan. wish me luck on my calorie count.

it's 12pm and i'm hardly awake. there doesnt seem to be much life here in town. everyone's at work. and perhaps i should be too.

good news for the day - i'm getting my car back! FYI it's been...err... how shall i put it... in the safekeeping of the finance company for a few months! hee hee. even though i don't have much affection for that car, it would be good to see it again. at least i'd be able to get around a lot easier. one of em crappy Satrias, with things falling apart... first thing would be for me to change the muffler cos it makes way too much noise! people know i'm on my way about half a km away. something a little subtler would be nice. and the amplifier - just can't live without music, and the present one's busted from sonic overdose. IF it's still in the car, that is... anyone nicking that unit won't have much luck with it, anyways.

uurrrggghhh need to lie back for a while... the reflexology session was just too good last night. not only were my feet assaulted, my head, back and arms were given adequate attention as well. oh for a slice of heaven. FYI the place is called Rest, Relax and Reflex (catchy name, that!) located at 4th Floor KLCC(top floor with all the beauty salons and medical centres) and also at Sri Hartamas, somewhere around the Souled Out there. after a hard day, it's the loveliest.

taaa have a nice day...

wonder how my newly-married buddy is doing. probably as frustrated as ever. somehow this particular institution holds no fascination for me. i'd love to make babies though. little cute innocent empty vessels just waiting to be filled with the crap the world has to offer. no worries i know where i'll be coming from when i get to that point.

ohhhh yeaaahhhh seems like i've been semi-residing in Sri Hartamas the past few days, starting from Saturday. every night chillin' out there... Uncle Don's becoming too much of a regular hangout. and my lungs, filled with smoke from the hookah... can't be good having all that smoke in me, can it?

i know this woman. she's tall, beautiful, big smile, and a seemingly endless supply of optimism. she's also got cancer and it's spreading like wildfire. at this moment in time she's so full of life, energy and light, that i've got a lot to learn. Carpe diem. Seize the moment. that's what she's doing. not taking any minute for granted. how many minutes do we really have? this particular lady - WOW! she's infectious in her will to LIVE and make it through the day. i could hardly believe when she said she vomits blood every day. it's never fair is it, dear God.

And here i am, this useless lazy piece of shit, not worthy of the air i breathe, uncaring and selfish. and in almost-perfect health. it's never fair, dear God. and tonight i believe in the power of prayer. I pray for you, for the difference you've made in those around you. I pray that your strength, power, and optimism will prevail over all. Thank you for the lessons. This life we take for granted. God will listen to my prayer tonight. I want Him to. This world needs a candle in these times of darkness. And not have that light snuffed out when it's about to shine so bright. God please no no no no.

It's never fair is it.

seize the moment. i must.
