Just as expected, I'm starting to get bored of my time-off already. I'm always thinkin I'm gonna do loads of shit during my holiday and can't wait for it to get started. Truth is, I'm now wishin that I was back at work...gossiping with my colleagues and complainin bout nearly every damn thing that goes wrong in the office.

 

I've always been the kinda person who can't sit still. I thought that this break away from the pressures and stress of my job would do wonders for me. I'm now startin to realise that maybe I DO enjoy being stressed and workin under pressure. It's at least far more exciting than waking up at two in the afternoon, watch porn and start wanking.

 

Stayin at home doing nothing also makes me lethargic. I just can't find the energy to do anything...even to put on some pants, go out and buy some lunch! 'Tis quite sad really...for me to cook Maggi Mee for lunch. I haven't even had a fag all day...and that's probably the reason why I'm so agitated and edgy today.

 

Don't get me wrong though..it's not that I'm a fuckin workaholic or shit like that (or though many of my friends think I am). It's not that I don't enjoy breaks EVER. That's far from it. I actually enjoy holidays, but I would need to GO on a holiday. It's difficult to enjoy a holiday when I'm the only one who's having a holiday and my other friends are bitchin about work. It just ain't the same.

 

A couple more days like this and I'll be tempted to call up my new place and tell them I'm comin onboard earlier than agreed. I know everybody's reaction would be "YOU GILA AR??? Got holiday dun want to enjoy!! Sohai!!". Sigh.

 

 

I just bought a bottle of shower cream. The first time I used it, I was thinkin "what the fuck's goin on? Why does my body feel like its burnin?". Then I realised that it contains some menthol cooling effect shit, of which I've never experience in a shower gel before nor am I used to the feeling. I wasn't really liking the effect...but that was until it reached a certain "part" of my body and went "oooo....that felt....different...". It felt weird, but it felt good. So I started putting MORE shower cream in that area...and enjoyed the feelin!

 

Now I look even more forward to taking showers!

Goodbyes and break-ups are never easy.

 

It's been a ten month relationship. Well, almost ten months. We've had our ups and downs during this relationship, and the reason I'm ending it is because it had more downs. At least from my point of view. Relationships are never easy, but the past few months has taken its toll on me.

 

I've tried my best to make this relationship work, I really did. But it just seems that I'm the only one who's trying to make this work while you don't seem bothered if I feel good about it or if I'M happy. Everything you wanted me to do, I've delivered and performed to the best of my ability just to please you. But it seems that you're just taking me for granted. The better I performed, the more you demanded from me.

 

You called me a lifesaver. You called me "The Man". Everytime I delivered, you said "Excellent!". I should feel happy and appreicated for this init? No. Because deep down I know that it ain't sincere. It's because I've done so many fuckin things for you, but you've never reciprocated. I'm always hoping in vain that someday you will repay me for all the things I've done for you.

 

However, no matter how angry I felt, I have never regretted this relationship. In fact, I wanna thank you. I have learned alot from you. At times, I really enjoyed myself. You gave me passion, you gave me desire. You've introduced me to a world I once didn't know existed, and you me made me fall in love with it.

 

I really wanted this relationship to work. Trust me, I really did. I thought I could fight thru these tough times and make it work. This is because unlike you, I have gratitude. I wanted to repay everything you've given me, everything you taught me. But I've had enough. I've just about lost faith and hope in you and do not see a future in us. So what's the point of dragging this on when I know it's never gonna work.

 

It's tough, even for me, but it's time to say goodbye. I wish you only the best, and I hope you feel the same for me.

It's always the same routine everytime. A guy would go on a date with a girl, or confess his feelings to a girl, and then goes back to report his status to his best friends who are eagerly awaiting the outcome. Exactly the same routine. Everytime. Heck, last night was eerily similar to my experience back when I was in the UK.

 

When Sazman came back and told everything that happened, it totally reminded me of when I was forced to re-enact everything that happened when I came back from my first date. Then there will be these 'experts' who will offer their opinions and advice on the next move. In my case, it was Som who went "So, do you like her? Do you like her? You do, don't you!!!". Or there will always be advice if the night didn't go too well. Whatever it is, I think it's great cos we always had each other's back, whether it went well or not. And no matter what, it's gotta be bros over hos for me cos I'm always fortunate enough to have close friends who always had my back. Plus I've learned never to ditch my friends over some girl who might eventually turn out to be a bitch.

 

I figure girls go through the same routine as well. I always picture girls going "Soooo did he ask you?? Did he ask you?? Are you two a couple yet?". The girl who came back from the date, barely able to contain her excitement will say "Yesss!!". And then all of them will shriek in excitement, jump around holding hands, take off their clothes and start making out. Well, at least that's how I picture it in my head...cos I'll never know init?

 

 

The beginning of a new relationship is always exciting. For the couple involved and the close friends lookin on from the outside.

 

 

No matter how old we get, it'll still always be the same routine till each one of us gets married. It's kinda childish, but it's definitely got it's charm. It never gets old.

 

And I'm hoping it never does.

 

I hate you.

 

I hate you cos you keep interfering with my life.

I hate you cos you always think you know what's right and what's best for me.

I hate you cos you show too much concern over me, always asking me about my whereabouts and always getting involved in everything in my life.

I hate you cos you're always there for me till it seems like you don't trust me and not letting me live my own life. You don't think I'm independent enough to make my own decisions in life and always worried that I might make the wrong decisions.

I hate you cos you always want to spend time with me...constantly reminding me about the importance of spending time with my loved ones.

You're always nagging me about the little stuff cos you're worried that it might eventually take over my life.

I hate you cos you're even concerned with what I eat...not taking into consideration that maybe I don't wanna eat healthy and that I am the least concerned about my health.

 

I hate you.

 

Funny how I love you for the exact same reasons.

 

Happy Birthday Mum. Thanks for always being there.

Sometimes, driving to work in the morning, being caught in traffic, can be quite funny. I've been working in KL for almost 10 months now so traffic doesn't bother me much cos I've gotten used to it. KL traffic is so unpredictable that it's impossible to pick the right time to leave your house just so you can make it to work on time. I've also realise I'm the unluckiest person in the whole world when it comes guessing which route will be least jammed. More often than not, or rather every single time, I always pick the wrong route and end up being stuck in traffic longer.

 

Anyway, I started observing drivers while I was stuck in stagnant traffic this morning. Whenever I get bored, I always look for something to entertain me...and turns out observing different drivers was kinda interesting. I then started categorising drivers by their expressions on their face, the way they drive, and their actions in their car.

 

Firstly, you get the extreeeeemely sleepy driver who would pull the trigger if he had a gun by his side. This driver seems real reluctant to go to work and must find it torturous to wake up so early in the morning to go where they don't wanna go. From their expression-less face, they seem demotivated and look like they could fall asleep anytime.

 

Then you get the lady-who-couldn't-wake-up-on-time drivers. I think these are pretty smart ladies cos they know that they're gonna get caught in traffic, so they might as well do something while their caught in traffic. So using their rear-view mirrors, they'll bring out their lipsticks and make-up and start making themselves pretty. However, I don't know how good of a job they can do cos they will always get interrupted whenever traffic starts moving a lil bit and the car behind them horns like a bitch.

 

Speaking of  which, these 'horny' people just amazes me everytime. I don't know if they just simply enjoy sounding the horn, but I can never understand why they have to do it soo angrily everytime the traffic moves a little and the car in front of them is just a lil bit slow in keeping up. I mean, what's the use of sounding the horn? Are you really gonna make it to work on time if the car in front is a lil bit faster in moving 2 inches in front?? I doubt that the driver in front enjoys being stuck in traffic more than you do.

 

There will also always be a couple fighting and arguing in the car. I can pretty much guess what's the argument about. The husband / boyfriend is complaining about her taking so much time getting ready and they're stuck in traffic because of that. The wife / girlfriend meanwhile will argue that he always blames her for being stuck in traffic. Or maybe they're just arguing over the bad sex they had last night.

 

The 'Anjings', as Theo calls them, is also quite common in morning traffic. These are the impatient muthafuckas who are looking for every opportunity to cut in front of the other nice drivers who are patiently waiting in line. They can also constantly be seen changing lanes once they feel that the other lane is moving slightly faster. They will also see a fair share of middle fingers on their way to work.

 

Finally, there's the Morning Glory driver. This driver still has a smile on his / her face despite being caught in horrible traffic. They're either singing along to the radio or laughing at the lame jokes the deejays make. I figure that they're either generally very cheerful people (like me!) or getting paid fuckloads so they do not mind going to work. I also think they actually enjoy waking up in the morning and probably sing along to the bird (or crow) outside their bedroom window while they're changing.

 

 

Me? I refuse to get all riled up when I'm caught in traffic. It's just plain useless to get all frustrated and impatient cos it won't get you to your destination faster, will it? I take it in stride...if there's traffic, I just sit back and enjoy some music playin on my old radio. I will also start looking around..looking for pretty lady drivers (office ladies muthafucka!!) or pretty pedestrians walking by. It is however, slightly dangerous as I've had my fair share of emergency brakes from not paying attention on the road.

 

One thing great about PR work is that you'll never know who you're gonna be working with.

 

Barely a month ago, I was watching Dr Brady Barr on the National Geographic Channel rolling around with an Ananconda, forgetting that I was gonna be working with him in the near future. I used to watch his programmes quite often when I was younger, never knew that I would have the chance to joke around with him and have a fillet mignon next to him.

 

So working so closely with him the past week was really quite interesting and fun as well. As a person, he's really quite a cool, funny guy for a person his age (42). Sitting down with him thru numerous interviews with the media was interesting as he related countless near-death experiences, which was often times hilarious.

 

But what was great about him was that he was real. He doesn't catch all these crocs for TV or to show that he has balls bigger than J-Lo's ass, he does them because he's so damn passioned about these animals. This was evident thru his energy and enthusiasm during the interviews. I made his sit thru 3 interviews in a row, each approximately 45 minutes long, and he had as much energy and enthusiasm during the third interview as he had during the first. I was about to die of boredom sitting thru those interviews and listening to almost the same stuff over and over again while he was being all animated and didn't seem to mind answering the same types of questions from the journalists.

 

This doc was down for an education initiative organised by Nat Geo and was held in Zoo Negara. I've been to Zoo Negara more times this week than I've ever been in my entire life. But in all honesty, Zoo Negara was actually a pleasent surprise. When I first heard that it was gonna be held in the zoo, I pretty much expected it to be smelly, dirty with underfed animals and chimps fuckin everywhere. This is because it was like that the last time I went to the zoo, about 20 years ago. But the zoo was a real surprise. The first day I arrived at the zoo, I was greeted by a giant stork flying over me near the entrance, and it was pretty much a sign that it was gonna be a fun week. And the zoo wasn't half as bad as I predicted. In fact, it was pretty nice. Even Brady commented that our zoo was better than Singapore's and Indonesia's. Not bad at all.

 

And it was a pretty fun week. From Brady giving the kids a treat by bringing out crocs and snakes for them to touch, to actually watch Brady film a snippet for his TV programme. I'm telling you, his balls are REALLY bigger than J-Lo's ass. This muthafucka grabbed a huge ass, 1 feet thick, 6 metre long python by it's neck while it was in the water. It took more than 6 zookeepers to restrain the python while he was trying to test the bite-force of the python. And he was doing all this while having a camera in hand!!

 

The week with Brady Barr was amazing. For a guy who's quite well-known all over the world, he's so humble to the point of stopping and picking up a small piece of paper to put it in the bin.

 

That's why I'm so passioned about my job, no matter how much I hate my company (of which I will be leaving soon! Woohoo!). You'll never know who you're gonna meet and gonna be working with. I guess my dream of a threesome with Lee Hyori and Angelina Jolie may not be too far-fetched after all.
