Half Life

And so, when you approached half life, you wonder, what have you accomplished all these years, what else can you do, how many souls have you touched, how much have you made, oh never mind. Not all of you ponder about those, at least not openly.

Past few weeks have been very exhilarating, with so many opportunities, challenges, and joy, and pain simultaneously. Birthday was great with the guys, din have bbq cos din have the opportunity to book the pits. Thanks Alexseah for the makan tour in Chinatown. haha. mango-fied. Thanks gary for the cake ! and dee leen katia bel gret aaron and renzhi for turning up la :D

Just like funerals, birthdays are just excusea for close ones to break away from their usual schedule, and get together, to reassure each other that they still have each other, and they're still connected, somehow, not just via facebook. The wall, was flooded by well wishes by close friends, long lost friends, online friends, and family. It's heartwarming, though nothing beats a phone call.

NDP 2009 was great, as usual. Thought that the fireworks were not as great as previous years'.Was watching it, with Red Cliff 2 playing on my laptop. And i broke a mindsweeper record too :D

The only card i got this year was hand-drawn, though a bit ugly with 2 balloons, cos it's obviously a rush job, I felt the love. The only gift which I got was a trip to langkawi, haha, looking forward to takin a break, and going back there after 15 years. Oh, and not to mention the sweet short trip to the beach with my good friend. Fell asleep on the bridge and caught a cold.

Amidst flops, we too seize the opportunity to perform better than expected. When your friends' trust, hopes and words are at stake, we push ourselves beyond the comfort zone, beyond what we have to do, to what we hope need not do, and then we hit a whole new level altogether.

Popped 12 panadols yesterday, woke up with mucus, thought it was ok already, but now it's back. Damn it. Should've continued to pop em pills.

It took me 10 years to find what I really want to become. A titanium robot.
