Or so i am stuck at home. I was driving to Sentosa for my small time alone at Silso Beach and on the highway , it started pouring in sheets. It was the greatest rain I have drove across for months. Alas..I have not much choice but to creep home. I dun really need another retail therapy this moment. I just needed some time alone to cool myself down , after knowing how much i will have in line for the coming week and month. Its sheer madness. I do not know how I am gonna pull thru it but i have better make sure that i do it with my signature splendour style of fushia pink. Work daunts me many a times , especially when I have to spear head a foreign object , without having no Jack Sparrow along in my sail.

I went to Ikea to get some bookshelf and stuff yesterday. This confectionary , which is five minutes walk away, has superb fluffy pandan cakes. Even after a day or two, its still spongy and tasty. And just like the name itself, it's operated by a very old couple who smile so happily when i grin and lamented that I love their cakes and come right from the east to buy it. It doesnt take much to make some good out for ppl's day ,isnt it?

lake house

I watched The Lake House today.

If love is supposed to fill up our loneliness, romance keeps me alive. I love it, to bits. I think I can just watch it again and again and still shed tears over the exact scene and laugh over the same lame joke. The Lake House - a story of an impossible romance ,and an unforgiveable mistake of a father.

I watched with a company of six today. None of them appreciates it for the very illogicality outweighing any meaning to its love that they so longingly held on to. To a love that started without either knowing- In that very split second in time. It all do not make sense , in all sense , isnt it?

A father whose idiosyncrascies drove his beloved wife away , wouldnt attend her funeral but yet spoke of her , in all good. Human ego versus divine love. It leads to a lifetime of bitterness.

Most of the time , we tend to watch a movie with a certain logic that seems somehow unnecessary. We fail to see and hear what the director wants to show us in his art.

Love , in its purest form, doesnt have to make much sense. It comes right from the heart and brings a thousand sorrows.

I woke up when the sun was blazing at an incorrect angle to my bed today . I call it the super bad day. I need a break soon before i get berserk at work. It will take just one more silly fault of ^&#$&$%&^*%(I^ to make me shriek and spat venom.

I am going to ski tomorrow morning. And i'd better start planning my next holiday. Its always good to look at ppl and give your most dazzling smile, as if you are cash milking for your super luxe year end holidays.

Sighhh....let the day end now and let tomorrow be back to fabulous-licious.

I was eating lunch whilst reading my weekly TIME. Its rather disturbing - Indonesia struck by tsunami was given less coverage , as compared to the Lebanese fleeing the Middle East with a new spark of battle in Israel.

At times like this , reading TIME magazine is to skimp thru one clast to another obituray. Before you know it , you have finished ingesting your weekly intake of global affairs news. Thats distubing , at least to me. To read all of the chaos in order.

Jon emailed me just now , as in our regular correspondence. Citing my blog to be " so abstract, whimsical and cryptic, you have to be called Kenneth to understand them. " I kinda like the direction my writing is steering. Heh..i am weird.

Your EQ is 133

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Today was fun. Short-lived as usual.

Brunch with Chupa Chup was gratifying. We finally have a chance to it down some coffee and to yak about our views. Naturally, we cannot concur on the same platform on some and agree unanimously on others.

Went for tea after tea, before finally heading for dinner with the Charlizes.

Cabaret was razzle dazzle with a stash of Nazis theme throw in. I am most captivated by Fei Xiang's flamboyant demeanor. His versatility shows in his comedian acts. I love his legs too..yummylicious! The ending was too hushed for our liking though.

delirious day

The stress from work , simply makes moi do the most incredible things. During my incrdibly long lunch break today , i drove to East Coast and did line-ski for an hour before heading back to the office. Its duper-unwinding. The glrious sun and not-too-delightful water was just what I need , after a heavy morning meeting.

Arien = Fire Sign = Needs lot of water to clarify moi mind + sunlight to spark creativity

It makes sense, ya.

Nite nite.

Whirlwind week

I just got back home from work. And today has been the earliest , so far , for the week. I am totally vexed out. Moreover,I did not have a restful sleep last night when i came back home close to midnight and received a phone call , asking about work [!!@%&U^^]. It took me a while to get to sleep , when my mind is still whirling like a torpedo. This is the downside of hyper-active me. When it comes to such situation, its almost impossible for me to switch from work mode to sleep mode.

I have been clouded by problems lately. Both personal and work. Nothing to revered about. So i should really not go to the brunt behind it. I refused to let them share my limelight. Let their heydays pass and , hopefully, my mind will be clearer then.

Back to reading. 15 mins is up.Nite folks.

Coming up - Goro Miyazaki's new work

A week beginning

There are many a times in life , I presumed that I have tried my best in whichever I did. For the betterment of myself and loved ones. But as many times as i have assumed , I should have just let nature run its full course . We are , afterall, human being . We do not need to constantly push ourselves to limit , but simply to accept our limitations and its contentment.

Alas, what a fashion to begin another week.

I went JB today with Meng, Keiran and Chris. Its my virgin trip there. I was not expecting much and it turn out quite alright. Its like deja vu of crossing the borders going to Shenzhen from Luo Hu in HK. Though , Malaysians are generally sweeter in JB than Chinese in Shenzhen. We went for reflexology, followed by dinner , ending with a movie at Cineplex JB - Pirates of the Carribean. I was so exhausted by the time I drove home. Fortunaltely, Keiran kept me company as I dropped him near my place.

I cant wait to spending a slow Sunday at Holland V and having tea with the Charlizes. Nite folks.

You Are A Hazelnut Tree

You're a charmer with a killer sense of humor. You are very demanding, but you can also be very understanding. No matter what, you always make a lasting impression - you're quite popular. Passionate, you are an active fighter for social causes and politics. In general, you are moody, honest, a perfectionist, and very sexual.

Blind Wilow, Sleeping Woman

Its out. After seeing Tracy's post last night, i couldnt wait to lay my hands on his new book - Blind Wilow, Sleeping Woman. Its the last second book on the shelf and the US hard cover version has yet to be released.

I am disappointed as I fumbled thru the book between traffic lights whilst driving back to office. In fact. It's not a novel but collected short stories. After more than one and a half year since "Kafka on the Shore", he actually published short stories , of which some were already online at New York Times , back last September. How can a mad and loyal fan, like myself, ever forgive him of auch adaucity?!

Thats where Haruki's magic lies - His intricate, whimsical plot and metaphors are best whirled in one long novel. His short stories ,at best, only arouse the curosity in you but it stops there. Zero adrendaline. A brief stint done in forgettable fashion. Not enough to even stir the dust. Darn..i can drone on forever.

Is he merely bringing home the dough by selling his name this round , lest of his previous 'Vintage Murukami' ? Hopefully , his next novel , After dark, is gonna be good.

Take 15

I am trying to cut it. One of my resolution of this month - not to spend too much time on the net , checking email, friends' blog etc, when i am back at home. I am gonna limit it to 15 mins and after which I will be off to do other stuff .

The net has become such an addict , and i dislike the way i have compromised the time i used to spend on reading and dvd watching.

:=) nite folks. Gonna watch a dvd b4 bedtime.

The 2nd big commitment

Its the commitment with a capital C i am having doubts in.

Its easy the first time round. Love revolves around everything you are doing and what you want to build on. There were no fears , no doubts. Cause you believe everything has its own way of meting out , with the gravitating power of love.

Its not too easy the second round. There are some traits in a person that you know you can never accept in eons and there are some that you can compromise with. The love word is now shared with another L-word : Logic. You do not want to swirl in a whirlwind and end up with a speck of dust as memories. You want to be swept and yet remain grounded. You yearn romanticism as much as pragmatism. You speculate your love as though it becomes an investment.

I am trying to sit in between the fence.

The second big commitment. Its not gonna be easy, just with the thought of it.

My mind is not working. Thats official. Chupa Chup did it again - getting me tickled in the midst of my hectic week.

I pondered over many issues whenever i am driving back home. But , alas, nothing substantial comes out these days as I sit in front of my computer.

But anyhow, weekend was a great blast with the Charlizes' dancing till four. Sunday and everything else passes before Superman can fly back to Krypton. And here I am - in the middle of the week. With my coming weekend plans paved out.

I have yet to have a breather for ages. I mean time in solitude. I Not that I am complaining . Its just a noticable change in lifestyle.

Okay. I'd better get back to work. If not , I will be late for dinner with Mr J. Birch, my pal from UK.
