Terbang Terbang Melayang

Finding time to revise my friend list at Facebook. There's a whole bunch of faces that I never recognize and never in my life have I interacted with these people, so I did what's best for myself and removed them from the list. They won't miss me. They didn't even know me.

Inching step by step into the conclusion of a game I just bought, but the memory stick it was in decided to play a game called Ruin Your Buyer's Day and go kaput. I'm forced to send that stick and see if they can check for faults and get me a new replacement. More minutes of my life consumed to do something trivial.

Nice week spent relaxing at home and spending time with cousins and relatives. A time of togetherness. That is Eid. There is a special feeling when it comes to celebrating Eid. Of course, over time that special feeling is lost, since you're not a kid anymore. It used to be jovial, what with spending time playing fireworks with cousins and getting packet money. All is gone, but the memories still linger.

Latin is now easier to learn thanks to Jones's book. The other book I bought by Harwood was a joke. It pushed me with so many phrases then asks me to "forget all that". I should have known that when it published a third edition, it wasn't worth it. So far, Jones' was much better. It knows that when you want to learn a language, what's more important than most is grammar.

As I look at my wallet I realized that money is like water. It flows very rapidly this month. If not for the car accident I was involved in I'd still have some excess left to show that in my bank statement, it's all good. But then again, it was all my fault, if I hadn't fall asleep that time, I know I'd still save all the trouble. Now, I sing along to the music on the radio so I won't do that.

Next few days, I'd be depressed I guess. I'm inching close to that mark. Some people say those things are just numbers. I think I should adopt that thinking. What's most important is that when I show up around people I must keep good appearances and interactiveness. I'll start with the immediate people around me.

Dang stupid console with expensive games that I have to wait until I get my salary to buy one game that I'll only play for 10 minutes! Also, I think I'll buy a PSP next month. I hope I don't regret this!

Kejut Aku Bila September Tamat

Could it be that I'm regretting my decision to work in an office environment? I find that I'm a bit stressed whenever I go to work. In fact, I don't think I have good focus.

Hari Raya is a week away. I look forward to this holiday. But I still can't believe it, is Ramadan truly going to end soon? I'm not ready for its departure. It'll be pretty boring.

I'm thinking of changing my car. Its appearance is attracting unwanted attention. It's also a gas-guzzler. Granted I do like to speed around the highway, but most of the time I only cruise at a very moderate, law-abiding speed.

Next time I must make it a practice to say no. I don't know why but it must have been embedded in me that I have to say yes to every request without even a question as to why. I exhausted and wasted time for myself the whole day just because I nodded.

Also, a very special day, at least for myself, is coming soon. Particularly because passing that day would mean I'm old. If I was supposed to die at the age according to the life expectancy data, I have lived approximately 35% of my life. Puts things in perspective it had.
