Slacking weekends part 2

It has been more than a week since I last updated, omg where has all my passion of writing gone? Anyway I'm back on track now, hopefully

I couldn’t really remember what are the things that I did last week which worth mentioning. The freshest one should be my weekends which were spent alone at home. I basically did some study on Wicket and read some technical stuff which I think I should do more for my own good.

Besides those, it’s movie movie and more movie. I watched The Machinist and The Prestige and both are actually entertaining. I think The Machinist borrow a little tiny bit of idea from The Memento, one of my most favorite movie of all time on the memory loss part. And for The Prestige, the story is very well written by the director Christopher Nolan who has also written Memento and The Dark Knight. I think he is really good for producing classics like this one after another

And for the reading part, I've finished half of Broken Window! The best part so far should be the part where one of the guys who explained the behavior of a hoarder whom they believe is the serial killer in the story. And from his explanation, I found out that I actually do have some characteristics of a hoarder, or maybe starting to move slowly to that direction.

Steamboat at S' place

Just back from S’s place, showered and waiting for my hair to dry. Went there for steamboat along with the team members and the whole night was quite fun. We went Giant to buy all the necessities after work while S went home to prepare the soup. We bought lots of fishballs, beef, chicken and soft drinks.

Her place is just like last time, and the sad thing is, the air con is still broken. Anyway, she prepared 2 flavors of soup, one is the normal chicken soup and another one is tom yam flavored. Although there were 6 of us but we couldn’t finish all the food, we joked about asking S to heat up everything for us and bring them to office tomorrow. I wonder whether she’ll really do that.

After the feast, I fetched them back to the office to get their car and I was a little worried on the way home because my fuel indicator was blinking, telling me that my tank is near empty. But was a little tired to go for fuel, think I'll just do it tomorrow.

Dear was still at Port Klang and she hadn’t eaten anything yet when I called her. Poor girl, I'll wait for her to reach home before I call it a day and jump on my bed.

Slacking weekends

It’s Sunday night again, a time which most people don’t like much because the boring life in office or school needs to start all over again tomorrow. I didn’t do much these 2 days of weekends, just slacked at home, watched movies and did some reading.

It might sound a little wasted spending the weekends at home doing nothing but to me, I kinda enjoy it like this once in a while. In face I've been doing this 2 weeks in a row and I don't mind to do it for the 3rd time next week. The feeling of not having any plan in mind and wake up naturally in the morning to do whatever I feel like doing is so free and relaxing.

Although it’s Monday tomorrow, although I need to spend 5 days, basically 4 days of work like usual, but it doesn’t matter because the rewarding weekends are always ahead to keep me motivated. Although I know it won't be a weekend spent alone anymore on the next, but hey, life isn’t about spending time alone right? Spending time with others plays a huge part, and I'm working hard to make it a meaningful one :D

All about dinners

Had dinner with colleagues just now and the feeling was actually different from having the usual lunch with them. Although we were just doing the usual things, which are eating and chatting but the feeling of doing something without “work” in everyone’s mind is a different experience.

Had a good laugh of each other’s joke and got the chance to know WY better. Sometimes, seeing is not entirely believing because we need to also do the listening part to understand someone and the stories behind them. It is actually interesting to know the stories behind others and the things they’ve gone through rather than just from the windows of the soul

KM called today to diss me for not showing up lately for dinner. I didn’t know he will join actually because it was CK who invited me via MSN. Well although I was busy most of the time when he asked but sometimes, the mood just wasn’t there. And when it comes to subjective things like mood, I learnt that people just won't buy it as a reason. Yes, who wants to hear the “no I'm not in the right mood” answer which sounds too arrogant as a reason and more like an excuse

My Otaku weekends

It’s already Sunday! How time flies, especially weekends. I still remember how I walked 10 floors of stairs when I went to work on Friday because the lift broke down. And 15 minutes after reaching my cubicle and some breakfast, the whole floor went blackout *snap* just like that. So I went home an hour later not to rest but to work, with my poor internet connection that day. Went back to UM after work for badminton session, an enjoyable one though, what an interesting Friday ?

Was at Time Square with AR on Saturday and bought Broken Window. Borders was selling it at RM32.90 and surprisingly, they were having a promotion for Broken Window. They packed it along with The Bone Collector and sell it at the same price! Although I don’t really need The Bone Collector but an extra book in my collection would be nice too

So watching movies, animes, surfing the internet and reading Broken Window can pretty much summarize my otaku weekends. It’s relaxing, and I certainly love it

Half day leave!

I'm only working half day today and the reason is because of the suddenly generous team leader to offer a half day leave for us without condition. Spent it on movies and nap in the afternoon and went to the usual buddy day at KL after that.

It’s already Friday tomorrow; this week is passing really fast. In fact these few weeks are like a few blinks of the eyes, the cheerful Friday mood comes right after the Monday blue. Maybe the reason is due to my workload which is getting lighter and lighter since things are getting more stable now.

Will need to phone up those insurance people to settle my claims, really need to push them since it has been more than a year since it happened. The way they procrastinate makes me feel bad and it also reminds me of not having the same attitude at work.

My anime updates



Just finished watching Gundam 00 season 2 and I think it’s really good. It’s even better than the first one in terms of storyline and actions. Although I was a big puzzled by its own terminology used like Veda, Innovator or Innovado, maybe because I didn’t pay much attention on them when I was watching the previous episodes but it doesn’t affect the fun at all.



5 centimeter per second, a 3 chapters short story has a style of its own. The story is just like those ordinary love story, 2 people loving each other but are separated for some reasons and the story continues on how they cope with the long distance. One of the things that got me hooked until the end was the heavy narration used to explain what goes on in the character’s head. It was beautified by the nature which was surrounding the characters while the story was unfolded.



Bleach on another hand, started with Turn Back The Pendulum, a short story on what happened long time ago when Ichigo wasn’t even born yet. It tells the story on how the Vizards were born by hollowfication and how Aizen turned his back against them. Just when the story reached its climax on episode 212, it stopped! Think I'll just continue with the Manga instead
