Letter to my wife

My dear wife,

Life is fleeting, moments disappear like snow-melting,
When water crystalizes into snow-flakes, it is GOD intended.

Create moments, like giving me a hug, telling me you love me, holding my hands...
Create good moments with intention to express your love for me, like I do for you.

Water crystalizes into beaufiful snow-flakes,
And melts away naturally for us to create yet another beautiful one.

Let us enjoy & appreciate Life
And love each other forever.

You are my sweet one, always,
Composed from the heart of your deer.

Deer.

Thank God its Friday

Thank God its Friday !

Got to do these things tomorrow
1. To collect document for my wife at the local post office.
2. To supervise roof fixing.
3. To service car.
4. Buy mooncakes for in-laws.

May be too ambitious.
Because on top of that, there is the usual house cleaning, visitations to in-laws and other possible surprises that may crop up.

Fortunately, I don't have to work tomorrow. (Well that's if I don't consider all the above 'Work')

Happy Week-ending!

Idiots collect a thousand dollars for another idiot

An idiot resigned and the remaining idiots collected a thousand dollars to buy him presents and to celebrate the event.

I really regretted pitching in my hard earned money when I found just now that they bought him liquor, blow-up doll and voucher at some spa.

I must learn my lessons well.

Next time, I'll say
"Might be pitching in with someone else" or
"I am thinking of getting something for him personally", etc.

I must learn my lessons well.
I must learn my lessons well.
I must learn my lessons well.

God please bless me.
Hare Krishna.

Jaya's

Left office early yesterday 5:10 pm.

Went to laze at Jaya's place.

Talked, looked at photos of his newly acquired home and had toast and tea. Jaya has two new girlfriends in Penang ! So he's been busy travelling to Penang in the weekends.

Had dinner with wife at the mall where she attended a seminar.
Spent some time at the pharmacy and later at the CD outlet.

Then it was home - TV, newspaper and good time with my wife.

Looking forward to the weekend already.

Gimme a rest, please...

Got a headache and stuffy nose for the past few days.
Suspect its the office air conditioner, though I have no proof.

Or the general condition of air in the dry weather these days.
Driving past various construction activity laden areas around Kuala Lumpur, I can hardly get a clear vision whenever I look ahead.

And I have to work tomorrow ! Arrghh!

The good things that happened yesterday were
1. Anwar Ibrahim, our ex-deputy Prime Minister during Mahathir's time has been freed of all his charges.
2. Managed to take a brisk walk with my wife outside the house, after so many months with no exercise.

I need a break !

Merdeka! at Pulau Ketam

The speedboat ride to Pulau Ketam yesterday was fast, or maybe because we were fast asleep...
Pulau Ketam (Crab Island) has
- Lots of garbage everywhere (almost everything is strewn under the houses that stood on their stilts)
- Old and nostalgic way of life, the single mode of transport being the bicycle (some motor-driven).
- Unique house front-design/deco. The front of the houses often has frames with its insides decorated with flower designs. Often there is a chinese word design above the front door too.
- 'Datuk'-altars in front of most houses. Most of the dwellers are chinese. In fact I only saw one single malay guy who was selling apam-balik on the streets.
- The altar within the houses are often visible from their front doors/windows and you will notice an extra large frame (approximately 6 feet by 12 feet) depicting the 'Datuk' diety. Very colourful, they were.

The wait for lunch was about 40 minutes , much longer than the wait for our ferry ride.
Thanks to the public holiday crowd.

The best thing we tasted was the ABC, also called the Ais Kacang.

If one day, Pulau Ketam folks decide to dispose all their rubbish under their houses, the sea level will up a centimetre or two, me thinks. They'd better start up some form of rubbish collection or disposal soon...

Meanwhile, the rodents seem to love it.

Merdeka ! Merdeka ! Merdeka !
