err... wow what happened to the days, like express-train lah. it's been a lovely week!

was in pulau tioman, sun-tue. apart from the tiring travelling (car, boat), it's one great place. highlight of the trip was my day of snorkelling. phew wow!!! never before have i swum alongside so many fish. all colours, sizes, shapes. and the coral formations - all kinds too! a little scary cos they do look intimidating... can't step on em, right, cos they cut the feet? i got a teeny-weeny cut on my thigh, god knows from where, probably from the boat itself. was wondering if the lil blood would attract any sharks... har har!!! mmm...

no doubt i'm a lot darker now. oh, i'm gonna go snorkelling every coupla months from now. any good places on the west coast? lemme know ok. as far as i know, the west coast waters are crap. perhaps further away, like Pangkor or Langkawi. one more thing - i hate big resorts! Berjaya Tioman... uurrggghhh.... dinners cost RM49. and to eat at the warung - to get there, we gotta pay for transport, not cheap cos we kena tourist prices all the way... ouch. methinks i'll go to Pangkor next, about 3 hours' drive away. it's been a long time, and it does have its own special charm. cheap accommodation and food, for one. don't know about now cos it's been perhaps ten years since.

but of course after all that fun in the sun, the troubles of reality creeps up and smashes itself onto our soft cushy faces, head-on, steamrolling whatever lingering happy-feelings we had. back to work, bay-beh's. the usual banking mess-ups, work-related chaos, etc. jeez. think i'll run a cheapo resort after this.

taaaa

sweet decadence pervades my being like a rampaging disease.

anyone watched that movie Caligula? me oh my, talk about 'all-also-can'. it's somewhat over-rated, but then, back when it was made, i suppose it was hot stuff lah... har har. with movies like Eyes Wide Shut in general release these days, and the profusion of porn everywhere, Caligula's not gonna raise an eyebrow, dude.

really boring today, just sitting here. oh, will go for a drive later. my customer awaits! yeah! money to be made. only thing is, i have to improve on my half-hearted efforts at creating new customers *sigh* oh lazy me.

what movie to watch tonight ah? last one was My Big Fat Greek Wedding - that was real funny, man. only thing is, it's not for those of you whose mamas are constantly pestering you to get hitched. avoid or watch alone, away from mama.

cold in here. gonna attempt some shut-eye.

see yaaaa

lesson for the day:

don't use thinner on vcds.

there i was absolutely engrossed in watching 'Signs', that one with Mel Gibson, and it's got my favourite stuff like aliens and crop circles, and the VCD starts jamming up and skipping. ouch! in thoughtless desperation i grabbed some thinner to clear off some gum that was on the disc. *tsk tsk* i should've known from past experience that soap and water works too, as well as soft polish. and so - i think the thinner melted the layers off the CD. *sigh* time to wait for the DVD then.

cleaning CDs -
1. soap and water.
2. soft polish. not the hard ones though, they will scratch up the CD royally.

hey pf, have you arrived safely back in Oz? didn't have to click your heels twice, did you. study hard, ok. and lay off the booze! i've seen pictures of damaged livers. not appetising. (is that word spelt with an 's' or with a 'z'?)

back to work now. as it is, Signs took half my morning. suitably warmed up with my duck-and-noodles lunch, i will face the world. the painful realities it shoves up our arses without a pause. hmmmppphhhh.
