She wrote furiously to him, explaining why she felt so strongly

about something so seemingly trivial.

“Imagine this. Imagine you know someone so intimately,

for so long, and you knew what he thought and felt about

everyone around him.”

She explained how much he had injured her. And how she would

probably never get over it.

It was no coincidence, she said, that he was the only ex in her life

that she did not get on with. Nay, that she could not even bear to look at.

“Now imagine he comes back into your life uninvited. Via your friends.

Who don’t know even half of it. Who have no idea.”

And she took a deep breath. And admitted.

“Okay. I know I have unresolved issues. I am quite aware all this

frustration stems from unresolved frustration and anger.”

“I just think – What right have you, to be around these people who

I love so dearly?

What right have you, to be here and enjoy their company, their laughs,

their smiles? When I know what you thought of them before?

What right have you to enjoy their trust, their partnership?

And what right have you to think that I could possibly

be okay with all of this?”

And then she took another breath.

“Okay, so nobody forced anyone to do anything. I know.

And people can change. This I know too.

And I know we are all adults, and I will try to be calm and cool about

everything.

But I reserve the right not to feel okay with this.

I reserve the right to feel uncomfortable.

The right to go ‘Urgh’ when I want to.

That much, at least I deserve.”

And then he said : “It’s official. You’re the most emotional

rational person I know.”

The month of April has been pretty interesting.

Mostly highs, just slightly pockmarked by some

irritants.

Work, work, work. And catching up.

It’s been fun.

Just some pictures from here and there.


My DIY notebook to make ambushing approaching MPs

easier. I arranged it in order of er … hair/specs/moles

facial differences. Quite successful, quite a relief.

A new girl's in town

My godsons (below) have a new sister. It’s quite interesting because

they seem to be doing things that are considered ‘regressing’ , ie. putting

a lot of things into their mouths, getting into the baby seat etc. Apparently

this is what some children do when a new baby gets attention from the

parents. Wow. Just like what some politicians do when they speak

out of their a… nevermind.

The tornados

Mr & Mrs Reeves

His BFF and the lovely wife at Ecoba. When I sent him this picture

he went … “Oh my God you’re so lucky, you get to hang out with Ben!”

True Bromance, if ever I knew one. By the way, it’s Ecoba‘s soft

launch of Tues, May 4 & Wednesday, May 5. Free flow (while stocks last) begins at 5pm.

Come on down.


The boy is back in town. Coolest guy in a suit you’ll ever meet.

My bro, my New York host. If it weren’t for him, many things

in my life would not have happened this year.

Moe, Larry, Cur.. Oops,sorry it's Larry, Adam, Bono & The Edge

At the Converse/Dave Corio do at ZincArt. To be very, very honest.

Nothing really stood out. Got a kick out of the old U2 pictures though, when

Bono didn’t look quite so IKNOWEVERYTHING-like.

Debbie 'Blondie' Harry

But I quite liked this photo. Although I think she looks mesmerising in

any shot, Miss Debbie Harry.

The Girls providing the sound

The Bunga and the Ribut of TAG. When I’m not distracted on Fridays, I try to catch

them at Barsonic. Though Bunga says I’m pretty hopeless at that.

With cutegiler

Lil Miss Joy To Be Around. Even cuter when slightly incoherent.


Mr Reza Kudapuff Salleh doing his thang at Havana, Changkat.

Yo Havana, but your sound system sucks balls needs improvement.

I wonder what May holds in store.

I’m wondering if Mother Nature will kasi kita chan sikit the next

few months.

xo

It was just barely New Year’s, and now the first month has passed.

Next thing you’ll know that awful Heidi Montag will be getting her

210th surgery procedure, Kanye will have another outburst, and then it’ll

be Christmas!

But not after a wicked, wonderful many months, of course! ;)

 

Part of the Malaysian Delegation in Singapore

 

I’m just in the midst of trying to update and upload all my pictures, which is proving

to be a very scary task. A rough estimate is that I still have around 3,000 pictures to

go through, and lord knows when I’m going to have the brainpower & patience to

do that.

It’s the one thing I do not fancy in the digital age – everything seems so

toss-worthy and yet .. not at the same time … so you spend all this time trying to

decide what is what.

This is like hoarding, but a more socially acceptable kind of hoarding. I shall

resist. The next time I go on my travels I will delete IMMEDIATELY.

Immediately, you hear? None of that ”Ooooh but maybe I can zzhhhngg this up real

good” nonsense. Delete delete delete. Delete The Unnecessary.

.

But my photography woes aside, it’s been a pretty awesome January so far.

Have had some lovely incidences and news that have made me smile a little more

than my usual share. I’m thinking all that patient waiting …. for several different

things in my life, has allowed for some serendipitous good things to bubble up

beautifully to the surface.

For now I’m just going to let things go with the flow :)

.

.

But some dear friends have had a spell of bad news too, which breaks my heart.

Not just bad news a la ‘Oh-I-got-so-many-pictures-to-clear’ (Cheh..), but really

serious problems, the ones which make you truly, truly worry as a friend. The

ones that make you look at your own life, and be grateful that it is comparatively

like a perfect pecan pie.

Gosh, this is turning out into a very bleh posting, probably because I am in bed

on this chilled and drizzly Sunday.

Watching movies.

Doing work at the same time.

Uploading pictures.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Sorry this is so boring.

I have news.

I have good news.

But I will have to tell you later.

:)

May your life be bringing you all sorts of lovely news too.

What have you been dreaming of lately?

xo

apologies for the silence. as expected, the work

is slightly unbelievable for now.

it’s good, it’s just … crazy.

1. it’s december, my favourite month.

2. it’ll be almost one year since i’ve stopped smoking. i must say,

i’m quite proud of myself.

3. i think this is the month I try to improve my work/life balance ..

4. and i think …. this is the month i let men back into my life again.

That’s a big thing innit?

Think it’s about darn time.

Found this Men’s Health UK magazine lying about in

Ann’s house so I flipped through it.

And then laughed out loud when

I saw this tiny bit below …

 

I just love how foreign magazines, especially those from London,

just have this dry, cynical sense of humour. (There are way better

ones that the one above, of course!)

Like they just cannot bear stupidity and will take you down

if you are being an idiot.

(Btw I’m my local village idiot, spoiling birthday surprises and all,

so I’m not one to talk … SIGH!)

 

Anyhoo

It’s the articulation of the    -_-   and the Pfffffttthhhh that the

foreign mags do so well.

I think I’ve seen it being attempted locally,

I’m not sure where, but it kinda failed.

First & foremost I think, the key to success in poking fun in

other’s silliness I guess is that …. you kinda have to be smart yourself?

And kinda cool, not a douchebag maybe?

 

I know some douchebags who try desperately to display their smartness.

It just makes them 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more uncool

than they already are.

And annoying too.      What do you call them? Bodoh sombong is of course

not the right description … could I say Pandai Meluat maybe? Still not apt ..

Mulut Menyampah? Still doesn’t cut it…  Will ask my Malay friends

soon for suggestions :)

 

Ah well.

Begone!

I have work to do. Got all my fingers and toes crossed that it’ll

be over soon.

 

I want to just stroll, grab a chai latte and catch a nice movie and all ….
