The End of The World

Another 'The End of The World' had come and gone.

That's good, I guess.

But what do I do with these now?

I hope these expiry dates will outlast the next 'TEOTW'!

House

I've no idea what the characters are saying most of the time. The jargons fly past me like bullets fly past Neo in Matrix. Yet, I was captivated, by the flying bullets and the characters.

I don't watch TV series. And I'd never watched one full episode of House, until last week when I happened to catch it on TV. I watched it for the second time just now. Not sure which episode of which season I'd watched. Not sure I'll manage to watch it again. But I totally enjoyed it.

Didn't understand half of it, but I enjoyed it.

Hi Ho, Hi Ho ...

It's back to work we go ...

You Know ...

It's hard to be funny and humourous when your mind is jammed with non-funny and non-humourous stuff.

Hopefully, my funny bones will be tickling soon ...

Let Down Of The Week

Yes, this has got to be the let down of the week -

Michael Schumacher cancels comeback!

Formula 1 that had been exciting for a few weeks is now back to its somewhat lack lustre season.

Oh well ...

Walk With Me

I think you would call her a friend. Definitely.

She would be there when I couldn't sleep at night. When millions of thoughts were circling in my mind, chasing me away from the kingdom of sleep, she would be there to lead me to the restful path.

She would be there when I felt sad and down. When I felt lost in emotions that were dragging me deeper into a black hole, she would be there to lend me a hand and help me swim above the surface.

She would be there when I was too happy for words. When I felt I couldn't sit still and hold in the bubbling emotions, she would be there to dance with me, letting out all the exuberance within me.

She would be there when I didn't think I could continue another second with all the noises around me. When I felt like shouting out at the top of my lung to vent my frustration, she would be there to soothe me, calm me and make it enjoyable for me.

Yes. she was there for me.

What do you say to someone who went through all these with you on her birthday when she is no longer by your side.

Well, she could be a he - depending on the partner it has at that moment - a cassette tape.

A Brief History Of The Walkman

Happy Birthday, my dear friend, my Walkman. How would I ever spend my adolescent days without you?

You Know You're Getting Old

... when it took you one day to realize the humour of your reader's comment. Or maybe I'm just simply slow.

I Love Sports

Yeah. I love sports.

There's nothing like driving the golf ball straight into the middle of the fairway, the luscious green of which is illustrated brightly under the gorgeous sun; chipping the ball out of the bunker, blasting the sand onto the sweaty face; curving the ball into the hole from 20 feet away, after walking slightly under half a kilometer under the scorching sun.

It feels even better to hit that tennis ball straight down the line towards the baseline of the other player; or run down the ball towards the back of the court and return it between the legs; or perform a perfect overhead smash that bounce the ball beyond the reach of the other player; all the while panting like a dog after running all over the hill in a hot tropical afternoon.

The best is to be able to run down the football field dribbling past 5 or 6 players from the opposite team, come one on one with the goal keeper, and score a beauty with a delightful chip; or slide towards the ball and snatch it away from the feet of the player coming towards you; or run non-stop up and down the field for about an hour, after which the lungs would seem hanging somewhere around the stomach.

Yeah, I love them all. Especially with the air-conditioner on, a pack of snack in my hand and sitting in front of my TV.

Sports - I can't live without them.

Simple Delight

Morning sunshine. Lingering coolness. Fresh air. A deep breath. A new day. Simple delight.

Driving to work. Radio DJs telling jokes about the current political situation. Cracks me up. Simple delight.

Hot afternoon. Clear sky. At the park. Kids playing at the playground. People jogging. Ladies line dancing. Boys playing football. Ice cream in my hand. Simple delight.

After dinner. Dropped my daughter at tuition. Cool night. Window rolled down. Radio blaring my favourite 80s' songs. Singing along. Simple delight.

Night is still. Mouse clicking. Fingers dancing on the keyboard. My creativity working its way out of my mind. Fluently. Simple delight.

Morning. Log into my blog. Scroll to the end of my latest post - A Comment! Simple delight.

Damn Good

A hard day at work. Found myself going to sleep early.

Woke up past midnight 1 am. Wide awake.

Tomorrow's weekend. Good.

The hot weather didn't relent during the night. The air-condition is extra comfy.

Turned on the computer. Moist my eyes.

Made a cup of tea. Nice.

Everyone's asleep. The night is still.

All is quiet. Apart from the air-conditioner, the clicking of my mouse and my keyboard, and my inner thoughts.

That's a good time. Peaceful. Damn good.

Let's Hope

There are probably a million thoughts going through my mind today. The one that stands out is probably this:

Arsenal Vs Manchester United Champions League semifinal second leg match.

And this too:

Let's hope the tired mind and body of mine can make it at 3am in the morning when the game starts.
