:: Light after a Month ::

Sunday, Apr. 03, 2011 @ 6:12 p.m.

It's been a month, the productive-craziness continued from my last entry until recently of late. Feels good to finally catch a glimpse of light!

Fish Curse
So the next day after my last entry, spotted a fish corpse abt a foot away from its tank while having my breakfast before work (it was the first ominous sign to a bad day). 19/03, 7 more beautiful fishes came in (sans 1 of the originals that was traded), but 2 days later: no electricity for 2 hrs and all the new ones and an original died within the nxt 3 consecutive days. Last wk we've 5 Guppies, one which is pregnant.. but unfortunately her babies were lost one morning.

Tensai
Work's been driving everyone up the walls that we've haven't got time to plan Josephine's early bday celebration properly. However we've manage to pull off a --delayed (thx to Toshiba)-- big surprise a day before her birthday 18/03, and almost made her cry from happiness. The first I've tried Lavender's cake and made ppl look at me like a kid when I've cocoa powder all over my face (YWL exclaimed "You look sooo cuttttee!!") and end up being 'bullied' =.=". Then the next day I've worked my first wkend (Sat & Sun)... leaving me and 2 other dudes' zombie-like for the entire week(s) after. 22/03 Sheikh made an announcement and 31/03 was his last day. Had my 2nd Carl's Jr and we all felt kinda sad and gloomy. Will miss my neighbour. Other than that, workload started to slow down.

Hate
15/03 after a stressful day, the driver was a cherry on top to that horrible day. Gave me a traumatizing experience, filling me with so much hate and gave me a critical outlook of the bus company (though only he, the cheating greedy fat bast*** I have against). Needless to say, after that I've started being my flexible on bus travel nowadays. I ran into him 2 times, argued with him and gave up to his hopeless attitude. Last I met him, I started paying him manually without speaking to him (he expected something out of me, ha!). He's the only driver I will not speak to eveeeeerr again!

The Seas
11/03 Nature struck JP, which was another bad day for me (without me noticing it until after work). 3 days before that I've been asked out to July cruise trip, took it up and waited for an appropiate time to bring it up to the Op Manager and GSW. Managed to get hold of them about it 16/03, resulted being asked: 'Aren't you scared of the tsunami??' (jokingly, lol). Coincidently just before all this, Celine Dion's 'My Heart will Go On' was played in the bus.

May mother nature and the seas be kind during that July period and throughout the rest of the yr(s)!

I never expect to incorporate politics in the creative world.

However, when I see Middle East shattered into chaos and bloodshed from its social media revolutions, I was pumped with adrenaline to pen a series questioning and perhaps satirizing current issues in the Arab world and Asia.

The Middle East and Asia are both very special continents to me. I have the privilege to grow, collaborate and be inspired with my AP family, most of them living in the Middle East. Nor will I forget the memorable moments in Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou trip, which sealed my decision to pursue art history. Unfortunately, one of my favourite hangouts is now a codeword for arrest, and my fantasies to see 1001 nights for myself is suspended until further notice.

While half of my stories are controversial (yeah AP crew brought the dark side of the moon out of me), I guess, my new project is the one that I won't regret.

Past two wks been crazy @ work. Rabbit year surely brings in loadz of work, having known rabbit's characteristic is 'productivity'. Worked in my last PH for this month at 15th and been working OT the whole wk. Still not done, doubt it could be done in time (but I knew the deadline's unrealistic, such a crazy lady).

Last Sun I've realized my 'Scar' haven't fade away as much as I thought it did, still sorta effing hurt that I've become somewhat 'avoidant' abt it without realizing earlier. Thus I've become inner conflicated and complicated to handle (not to mention the recent work frus build up). Due to being overworked and strained these 2 wks, I've became completely lazy this weekend, no exercise... being just a complete homebound bum. Just so I'd relax, chill and rehabilitate myself from the recent messes.

Fri CKK bought a new nokia to feed into her last week's obsession, in which I helped to 'test' it this whole weekend ;p. And today we've a new family member: Fishes. CKK's now fad and I've spend 2ish hrs practicing a lil of photography and self-research/knowledge/discovery abt fishes. Now I understand the meaning behind Fish Action's name reasonings, and have only 2 bests (or 3-4) out of 48 shots (apparently fishes can react faster than 1/2000 of a sec =x).

Weekend past by too fast, whether you're a bummer or not =(. I wish a time machine's already invented, damn it.
