Je ne sais pas pour qoui

I'm not sure if I spelt the last word right

But for some reason I just feel the need to make an announcement
that will go unnoticed in this universe for sure
but that's not why I'm announcing

I hate all of you
who make me feel this way
Why can't you just keep certain things to yourself
Why do I have to always get bothered by it

On a lighter note
There seems to be a movement in the office now
The "Do not Squat on the Toilet Bowl" movement
To send a message that not only is it dirty but dangerous to squat on the bowl
The doors are adorned with a cartoon to encourage people to
NOT TO squat on the toilet bowl seats

It's amazing how we need to remind people of obvious things
And it's annoying to have to look at this cartoon for the rest of my
business visits to the toilets

9 months

That is the amount of time human beings gestate
well almost give or take a few weeks
what's interesting is that the elephants gestate for
22 months
that's 2 months short of being pregnant for 2 years

it has also been
9 months
That I have not been inspired to write
(or more than 9 months)

I'm blaming the age and the graying strands
I have become boring and dull

I no longer find a leaf in the shape of a chimpanzee something that i can ponder on
for hours

Leaf in the shape of a chimpanzee? What the heck?
A leaf looks like a leaf.
Full stop.

Seriously I need to revisit that place.
That place that makes me wonder and analyze and over analyze
I'm only 27 surely I can still see the beauty in the most mundane things like
hmmm
even that I can't think of

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I need to be inspired
Inspiration, you slippery bugger
I want my crazy dreams back
(the kind you get while you sleep, not how you see yourself in 5 years kind of dream)
I want to go back to school
I, I, I

I don't want to grow up?

Something you never share with a complete stranger at the canteen of the Day
Oh no thanks, Beans give me gas

Rambling that needs unrambling

Excuses excuses excuses
That’s all I’ve been giving myself and other people

It’s sad how one always fails to step back and look
And realize life really doesn’t revolve around just you

This search this quest
This sense this yearn
Never fulfilled Never understood
Never ascertained

Stop before you say something that might hurt
But it makes you feel better? Only in the moment
Not so after
So get a baseball bat
If you’ve got something to say

Hate Love What’s the difference
Crossing the line is never that hard

Gas oh gas
Where did you ever come from

So you think you’ve got it all figured out
Think again
Long and Hard

What’s the point really
What IS the POINT

Slide slide slippety slide
Bang bang boom
Chug chug chug


Fate of the day

Sssssssss

It is amazing how one misfortune
can turn out to be
not so bad at all

Having no confidence in the public transport
and no patience for getting stuck
in between stinky arm pits
and sweaty bodies
I have numerously called for the cab to take me wherever my heart desires (okay just to go home actually)

And by far
yesterday's cab experience
I must say, was the best

It is bad enough that you are stuck in a traffic jam
moving an inch every 5 minutes
Worse if you really have to go
with the feeling that your bladder might explode
anytime

And it is another notch worse if the person who has to go
is your cab driver
Why?
Not trying to be dramatic here But
he Is, from the point of pick-up and drop-off, responsible for your life on the road
and my cab driver yesterday
Really really, i mean really really had to go

And he did
Behind some pillar
by the road side
leaving me all alone in the car
with the emergency light blinking
Crazy thoughts started running wild in my head
What if someone hijacks the car?
Do I make use of my pepper spray or try to poke his eye or any other part of his body with my metal chop sticks?
What if the line starts to move?
What if people start honking and honking?
Do I have to scoot over to the driver's seat and move the car?
What if my cab driver gets caught for indecent exposure or illegal peeing?
Do I have to walk home in the rain?

And by the time all these thoughts ran out of thoughts
He came back into the car
All relieved
and the line didn't move
even a centimetre

Phew! and boy he wasn't the only one
relieved

In case any of you take the Zalnas cab
Beware of the cab driver named: Mervin Dennis
ask him if his bladder is all clear before you get into the car

ps this is not a fictitious story
pss this is such a true story

Lesson Of The Day (for males especially)
Always have an empty bottle in your car
Preferrably one that isn't used for drinking anymore

Je vais prendre ta douleur

After a great fall
Once you've dusted yourself up
You're given a choice to
Either turn left or turn right
Or to just continue on straight

And who knows which turn is most ideal
You trudge along and make the necessary adjustments
And sometimes along the way
A presence
makes you realize that you've been on the
non-ideal path all the while

And that ensuing change, however hard and unfamiliar it may be
Can bring the most unexpected joy and euphoria
And calmness
And the much awaited answer


Sign of the day (that you're in denial)
"My clothes are getting smaller. I need to change my detergent."

Liew Liew You You

O'oh
It's that time of the month again.

People I envy but do not necessarily wish to be:
1) Someone who loves his/her job and doesn't consider the job as a job

2) Someone who gets it
3) Someone who can run a full marathon
4) Someone who can write songs; lyrics, melodies, symphonies, jingles, the works
5) Someone who has the capacity to stay true to his/her passion
6) Someone who has passion
7) Someone who can play tennis
8) Someone who has eclectic abilities but isn't crazy
9) Someone who does not worry upon hearing the phrase "A moment on your lips,
Forever on your hips"
10) Someone who eats to live

I am still a racist. Yesterday, on the train. I realized. I still am. I had a minor cringe when I heard two Chinese speaking individuals, talking loudly. I cranked up the volume of the music to which I was listening. And right next to me,
there were two Chinese boys, talking, but using the sign language. They were deaf/mute.
And I was at peace. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk Bad Nurul

Wonderment of the day
Why is there a Chinese language, DELL computer set up manual pasted on the door of the toilet cubicle?

An attempt to bore, intentionally (it usually is unintentional in other posts):
I really like to eat.Sometimes I eat chicken, fish, beef.
Sometimes eggs.
But my favorite would have to be chocolate.
I love chocolate. I love it so much. So much.
My nephew likes it too.
I like Milk Chocolate especially.
Although some people say it's the fattest kind of chocolate.I don't care.
I like it anyways.
I can not and will not go on a week without it.
I wish someone would get me a lot of chocolate.
Imagine a mountain of chocolate. All for you.
Chocolate like Hershey's, Cadbury, Ferrero Rocher,Kinder Bueno, Time Out, Snickers, Galaxy, Flakes, Cadbury ,Lindt, M&Ms, Malteasers, Choki choki, Mars, Dominoe's

I think I learnt from the best.

Question of the day
Where is the empan really?
