温柔似水是女人,恶如祸水亦是女人。
女人,女人。。 可别为了一己之私而伤害了其他的女人。。。

Could You Imagine?
I was having lunch with KS the other day, the day when she told me that she was pregnant :-), and we came across a really funny, if not totally mindless, incident.
KS and I had ordered food from one of the noodle stalls in the Boulevard area, Miri, and we were served with no chilli and soy sauce. As do most Malaysians, I had always liked to dip my food in a little bit of soy sauce with chilli while I eat. Without that, my food would taste as though something was missing. So, I decided to ask for some soy sauce.
I called out to the lady who worked for the stall, and she came to my table. She, in my opinion, was a native who might not understand my Malay quite as much as I might expect her to. I asked politely for my soy sauce, and she went back to her stall and brought me a whole small bottle of soy sauce.
Ok, now, one would expect their soy sauce to be delivered in a small serving dish, as would common practice. I was served with one bottle of soy sauce. For all my aprreciation of her generosity, I had only needed a small amount of the sauce. So, I asked again, politely, for a small serving dish.
It turned out, she might have thought that I was asking for an extra dish, and she brought me a normal plate for eating!
I looked at the plate, and looked at KS. KS was sniggering at my struggle in getting a proper serving dish for my soy sauce, and I told her that I would try for another time.
Again, I asked politely, can I have a small serving dish for my soy sauce, indicating the soy sauce in an imaginary dish while trying my darn best to explain myself to the lady. She looked at my hands, and her face lit up, as though she had finally gotten my idea.
So, she went back and brought me a BOWL!!!!
KS was laughing her head off now.
I had not given up in asking for the right thing, and therefore, I gave another shot, asking the lady by pointing the soy sauce and the bowl and asked for a SMALL SERVING DISH!!!
And she did this.

She put the f***ing soy sauce bottle into the bowl and walked away!!!
What in the world it this!!! Had common sense escaped one's mind so much that it bordered stupidity??
What a world of TOTAL MINDLESSNESS!!!
MIndless rambling
And where does all these goes?
It being late, and I'm still up, as do many of us.
Things aren't going as smoothly as I thought it should be.
May be it's the global recession, may be it's me...
Whatever it is, I am slowly changing.
I still want my friends and family. I still want to be a part of them.
I just don't really have the time and mood to just hang out nowadays.
I just wanna have some alone time, to think about the things that I've missed thinking while I was busy.
I meet them, many of them, tonight. But it has been different. I have been away for a long time.
Certain things, I do not regret.
Certain things, I hope I have done right by them.
But most of all, I just want to have peace in my heart. And be happy for what I am , who I am, and what I have.
I just wanna be me.
