The Working Day... Again.

Yes... once again... my studies have ended... what's more this time round, PAID studies have ended... yes tragic I know... Now, I'm merely paid to make other people study. Wait.. what am I saying.. merely?!?!? Merely?!?!?!

I suppose it must come to this.. and i must of course get myself all ready for school again. Except this time, it's probably for a much much longer time. Well I'll be ready!

Flips the poor overworked great leader is snoozing right now... comfortably and happily I hope... Hope you're excited about watching The 5Th Element. I am!! Hee... so happy when I finally found it. A gift for a blissful, happy and enjoyable year and 8 months. Cool~~~~~

While ending off this post to go snore myself, a cool picture of a cool beverage for a cool me. Bottled from the hills of Tuscany, Italy. ACQUA PANNA. Yes well, a weird mouthful of words that when heard does not quite conjure up the image of a bottle of mineral water.

Sippin' it


Alright, off to bed for now.... can't wait to see ya tomorrow! =)

I Feel Tight

Lol~~~ Yes i do.. .well at least both my char siew legs that is... Hello Flips! It's Sunday already 1215am but still it's rather difficult to walk... oh well...And man it's itchy!!!!! The legs I mean...

Well, I hope you aren't reading this at a weird hour but if you are... =) it's ok sweetie... Call me if you would like to, anytime!!!! I'm be happy to hear from you too! Trust me.. the weird old Pooh who thought about working the graveyard shift for 7-11.

If you would like to know how the legs are, they are fine. Doing alot better. No more hot feeling already. No more hot legs then I guess. Oh hohoho~~ The blister is still there though. Rather painful.

Hope you're feeling better... Praying for you sigh... Hope you manage to lose this headache soon and your body becomes healthy and well!

The Langkawi Trip

Well well, how should I put it? I enjoyed myself! It was great! Relaxing and fun! Feels fantastic to be in the company of the Great Flips for 4 days! I only wished we had been healthier to better enjoy it, oh well!

Langkawi is a quiet place. It's still pretty laid back there with buffaloes running around the place. I like how we go there from Singapore. You fly there. Straight. Some people might say "eer so?" So you imbecile, I don't have to take a long squeezy, queasy coach ride like you did to go some other weird overly-infested place like Genting. SilkAir flies there, though the number and frequency of flights might test your logistic coordination a little.

Where we stayed was a pretty comfy spot I guess deserves mentioning. It's Casa Del Mar, Not CAFE Del Mar, you sukus. A small resort set in Pantai Cenang, Langkawi. The service was generally warm and good. It's sometimes the waiters that might irritate you a little. And sometimes when you order room service food, it might not always be fantastic, especially if you order at weird times like maybe 4pm. Otherwise, the food there is pretty good. But be warned, its not cheap. Unless of course your wallet is fattened in greens or pounds...

It's a pity we did not get to do much there because of the weather that was at times too bloody hot or the seas too choppy. But the beach is a dream. Especially when you get to stroll on it at 7am with your beloved lumbering right next to you. There are not many people, the clouds are peaceful and beautifully shaped, the sea is majestic, and the skies are endless. The horizon embraces you completely.

In Langkawi, there is nothing very much around also. Well, there are actually quite alot of roadside stalls and "restaurants" i suppose, but they don't quite look like they will be easy on your stomach, or in extreme cases, your asses. There is a town there though! With malls and fastfood but we didn't go, so we unfortunately cannot shed some light on that.

I watched a corny jap show today that was talking about holidays too. One guy who ran this small-time beach hostel said to his grand-daughter, "we live here, and that's why sometimes we forget that our guests come here because they are going back". Yes, rather cheesy I know. But it does make sense... I suppose it's important to treasue the short beautiful memories or a vacation and return back to our routined lives with a fresh or different perspective and motivation. We're not TVs... can't be programmed and expected to run forever on a routine with no changes. If we do that, we chip little bits off our humanity I feel.

So, as I beam happily, and prepares for bed, I look forward to the next trip we take together happy Flippy! Someday, we shall pack our bags and run off into the distance, where there is just you and me giggling, joking, snoring and running around endlessly, frivilously, happily, lovingly. A promise.

Ode to the Dead

Thousands of years gone by and still
We are frail in the face of pain and death
Though more so in dark times
All the more we must seek the Lord
Seek his comfort and grace
Replendish our faith in Him
We pray that those passed on have gone to His side
And that in their time on this good earth
Deeds and services have been done in His Name
Those of us who are still here
our remaining hair follicles and skin cells
Will carry on the legacy others departed left behind
to rejuvenate and venture new lands
Unhindered, untaut.
When others leave for a hopefully better place
we pray for more new blood and cells to join our ranks
We commit all to the good Lord
Amen.
