Waaaaaaaa!

Dammit.

Rainy Sunday Afternoon

Sigh. It doesn't quite get better than this. Nothing like bumming the daylights out of your hectic city life in the small lil' town you call hometown yo !

Yeah baby ! ;)

Sunday afternoon. Light drizzle outside my window. Amma's chicken perattal and mutton curry nicely settling in my tummy.

Aaaahhhh !

Just perfect to curl up in bed for a nap with the already perfect ambiance.

=)

Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary Papa & Amma !

In Need Of A New Direction

Like desperately. Very thankful for the life I have. The family. The loved ones. The friends. The car. The home. The passion and interests. 

But something is not satisfying the soul and it's dreams. 

Sigh. 

Need to sort myself REAL soon. Sort-kan sendiri sebelum anda disort-kan. 

Bleh.

' Mozart of Asia' Makes My Monday

I dragged myself back to work after a fantastic 4 days at paradise wishing I didn't leave it in the first place. On a day where I only expected nothing but back-logged tasks and emails, I stumbled upon the best possible news ever :

AR REHMAN WINS THE GOLDEN GLOBE !

*wheeeeee*

I'm in total awe. It's so crazy, I can't believe it ! But I do think it's about time he deserves it. It's about time the world recognize the genius in this man and acknowledged the mindblowing music he has produced since 1992.

Here's to all Rehman-iacs, music lovers, Indians & Tamilians around the world.

Paradise Awaits

I'M GOING TO LANGKAWI TOMORROW ! 

*grins*

I'm still not recovered from the flu and soar throat that caught me end of last year. (Whoa. Sounds cool no? I'm still sick from last year). Anyway, so yeah. I'm still not the pinkest shades of health now but hey, I'm going to Langkawi baybeh. Can't be mulling over the block nose and cough now, can I. 

Here's looking forward to a great weekend with friends. 

=)

Mondays . . .

are a shithole.*growl*

Especially after a long break. With a generous dose of family, friends and love. Not to mention your own bed in Ipoh. -_-

Sigh.

I've gotten used to this though over the years. Left Ipoh when I was 18 to pursue my studies and dreams here Kuala Lumpur. And I used to travel by bus every weekend back to Ipoh. EVERY weekend. I take a Metrobus to Pudu and then coach ( preferably and strictly Transnasional or Plusliner only) to Ipoh. It takes 2 and a half or 3 hours max to reach Ipoh via the Lebuhraya Utara Selatan. If I saved all my bus tickets, I swear I could buy a share in Plusliner.

That 3 hours on every journey has been such a huge part of my life. Initially, the excitement of going home was so overwhelming that I never used to be able to sleep or shut my eyes. After sometime, it was a good half-hour nap session. I was so afraid I will oversleep and miss the Ipoh stop or end in Kedah or something. Now, I'm so used to the timing that I snooze as soon as the bus leaves the platform in Pudu and surprisingly wake up as the bus slows down at the Simpang Pulai toll.

Once in a blue moon when sleepy doesn't come , I stare out the window. Honestly, the scenery along the Malaysian highway is amazing. And as you approach north, the caves and mountains get greener and gorgeous-er. Contrary to the journey back to KL, you only approach a concrete jungle, though I must say KL's skyline is said to be one of the best that there is.

Subsequently, Pudu also became one of my favourite places in KL. Yes, call me weird but yeah. I love the noisy, polluted, crowded bus station. Why I like it - it takes me back to Ipoh. And family and peace and quiet. And it will remain as one of my favourite places.

No matter how many times I've travelled back on forth, and how used I am to this, my heart sinks a little when I leave Ipoh. There is a sanity and assurance that is different of the sanity and assurance I feel in KL. For different reasons of course, but still it makes me feel good.

My frequency to Ipoh has reduced a lot these days due to work and a life I have here in KL. Now that I have my own place here, my parents sometimes do the travelling to be with me. Still, I pounce at every chance I get to go back home. And the Mondays after I come back from Ipoh, are always a shithole.

Turns out, Mondays are also a good day to reminisce the past. =)

I Want To Cut Off My Nose

Ugh.Still sick. And today was Priya's wedding. What bad timing.

Nevertheless, I thoroughly enjoyed the wedding with a tissue constantly stuck at my nose.

I wish Priya & Champesh a happy and blissful married life.

=)

Not Such A Great Start...

I have a freaking block nose and a bloody soar throat. Ugh.

What a great start to a new year.

Hmmmph.

Happy New Year 2009

God's time machine is on a pace of its own, and just like that * snaps fingers*, a new year is born.

Times are crazy now, don't you think? I honestly don't know where the last 12 months went. I've been wanting to do this for sometime now, but really haven't gotten around to actually doing it. Not so much for blogging purpose, I've always wanted in some way to remember my days and its happenings. To opine and share and quiz and vent my thoughts without having to hear uhms and buts to my face. A place to call it my own.

Well, so here it is. Here's wishing anyone who stumbles upon Thoughts Like Mine and cares to leave a thought or two of their own a very Happy New Year 2009. May this year bring the best of of you.

=)
