Holiday is Here PT1

After Saturday and Sunday, Monday is for most of all the region's either small or big company made the day compulsory holiday. My company never put it as priority, it does have Indians (one of my bosses and a colleague) took leaves for the whole week, doesn't mean we Chinese have the same unless i've applied leave. So i gotta work, even if it's only left Kenny and another department's staff plus me working.

The whole morning was raining, very heavily, and i had to meet a client in Chan Sow Lin. After all the work is almost done, i had to leave the office at 1pm cuz my colleague from another department had to go somewhere and she's the only one holding the keys. Damn, for all the rush, the job had to be postponed...

Went to have lunch with my girl at her office place nearby, then went to look for Jeff in Sri Petaling. (one round of trip i made...) He just came back right that day, with friends along having drinks. Soon his friends left and we chatted for an hour, left to Carrefour to buy something, about 5pm i went to my girl's house to have dinner and went to my place hang out.

So she stayed overnight at my place again, but this time her mom's outstation, her dad was sort of like ok ok only for her doings, just as i think it might made him faded his attention on kurfew. So be it... Supposingly my girl needs to go to her ex-classmate's house for Deepavali visit. First i fetched her back home changed clothes, then headed to Puchong paid the visit. Ate the food and it's vegetarian, thought i might have a perfect meal with curries on mutton but it's fine with me though. So her friend (oh no i forgotten her name) was as same as my girl, talkative, has a Chinese boyfriend, working in Southern Bank at Damansara and so on. All the while i've been teasings her, in her replies she just can't get over it... Hehe, joking only, if can't fight it back, you ought to join it...

I felt so tired cuz too much sleeping during night till morning. Fetched my girl home, went back home and tried to sleep. Seems the TV got so many nice programmes to watch. Randomly i changed channels from time to time, ended up i've been watching Tamil movies all the while, good love stories, and the most funny part were, there's CGI's, then some camera tricks, exaggerating moves and fights, so fucking funny that i couldn't breathe on seconds... Summarized, it's fun to watch Tamil or Hindi movies when you're high on alcohol or something...

The 2nd Jamming Session

The first jamming session was held on last Thursday 27th, it was just about a warm up jam, trying to figure out the whole things was versatile, but what i think was something's not right, my emo beats wasn't there, and the way i played less hard stroke, i felt weak at that time. You know what i mean, cy...

No recordings was made that day. Kinda disappointing cuz i need to listen to it. The 2nd jamming was on 30th Sunday, this time Yulius tag along as bassist. Penny was there too, like most of the Sundays she'll come and look for cy. She got herself some video shootings on us, but i can't possibly post in here. Wished that the Blogger's auditor read this, he could come up an uploading option in future. Video's important, more words than a picture.

The jamming session went so well, did recordings, clear sounds, and for now it's not converted to MP3 format. I thought this must be a occasionally session so the cassette can be reuse after and after again. Every stroke that i made are pure Dave Grohl, hard hitting strokes on every drum surfaces. I was a little high with the music, cuz it's emo, anger and stress grooved along my beats. The only matters that Yulius was in muted mood, he never brought out the joy of the music, regardless the boredom of the repeats from the chords, actually he could improvise some funny taps on bass to make some funky effects. Also he needs to click on our way to make emo waves, ups and downs the volume, soft and massive. Hey, just happen you're reading this bro, free yourself from your anger and depression on the bass and music, let it all out. I know you seen me how i treated the drums like ain't no motherfuckers would do, man. Hit it like Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Don't bother about any audiences besides us in our premises, just DO IT! DON'T BE SHY...

Hmm, cy's going to Penang on Tuesday, so probably on Friday we'll jam. God, i got myself addicted jamming... To hell with my blisters i got from the Dave Grohl's strokes.

*I mean, we had to do something about the transport for the piano, here's the pics with each views of my girl's piano.

A Friend From Taiping

On Friday afternoon, i was in Bandar Tasik Selatan waiting for my contractor to bring me to Nilai for site measurement. An anonymous number rang my phone, suprisingly a girl i knew in Taiping called me, told me she's gonna be in KL at evening, insisted me to meet her at night time.

I finished work at 7pm, my boss Kenny haven't left, having beers with a client. I'm suprised that he invited me to join him. Thereafter, i was quite drunk, the client mostly talked about family values and his sins. I'm glad to see an adult talking about his life and confessing in front of his old friend and to me, i'm like a stranger. Most of the adults don't talk about their sins, even me. I reached home at 9pm, took bath and relax while listening to music. The girl from Penang, Mandy (i didn't say her name) called a few times just to make sure that i won't stood her up, i'm the one who worried she'll stood me up. Till 11pm, she made it at her brother's house and just happened her brother's place about 2km distance from my place.

She had changed a lot, her hair style, the looks and her weight... Chubby already. She's being working as a salesgirl since after her SPM, she got a lot of commitment, her family members. She's not rich, so poor that she had to fin d a big sum of money to cover all her family's expenses. Last time i heard from her she's doing much wlel than now, had a boyfriend, now she's back into single. I did had a crush on her, she had to say i'm not her type cuz our distance to talk about love is ridiculous, although it might seem possible, making contacts everyday by calls, sms or emails. Then finally only in her mind when she wanted to come to KL, me. The only me she could contact, never to say not a single sms, or a call, seldom, just feel like sms, say "hi, how's going? where are you working now?" sort of.

After a few questions, she asked me, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"...

I said, "Yes, i have, a good one..."

She got the face showing disappointment. I know, she's been trying to have a boyfriend whose really care for her, cuddles and stuffs to make her happy. She's been suffering from her ex-relationship, sounded like the boyfriend had been abusing her, so she got fat, i mean chubby, cut her hair short, and she didn't wanna think of another realtionship for the moment. I'm kinda pity of her, not only she had the relationship problem, Hui Hui also... (Hui Hui and Mandy are my ex-colleagues from Meikah branch in Taiping.)

She asked me if i could send her to Jln. Ipoh nearby in the morning, so i agreed, left early to go home and sleep. I called my girl before i move my car, she just reached home after having some beers with her cousin brother and her brother too. She got drunk and wanted me to fetch her back to my place... (i guess so, i mean i wanted her to be with me for a night!)

So the next morning of Saturday, I had to rush myself fetching Mandy to Jln. Ipoh, had breakfast together and came back to my place, woke my girl up and brought her to Maxis Centre to change her prepaid line to my supplimentary line. I thought it was like rm55 inclusive deposite and registration, so it troubled my girl reloaded rm10 extra to make a rm30 balance, ended up the fee was deducted from her rpepaid credit, so it was like rm25 for the deposite, that's all... haha darling, thought i pay for it but it's your money to pay for!

For like 5 hours more her phone finally activated, but the caller ringtone unsubscribed, so it's like she had to subscribe again and buy again the ringtone... waste money and time again, too bad her pc's modem got some redialling problem, she don't get to purchase any song in the moment.

So, all day we've in Maxis, then KLCC walked around trying to find the Aroma Therapy oil for the room's fragrance, some prices found fucking expensive, rm75, rm40, then found a shop called Lovely Lane, found a Aroma Therapy oil 'Rain Forest' cost rm13.90 with 10% discount, cheap and good quality, made in Australia. Then we had lunch at Burger King, went home later by bus (she hate buses cuz it kept her waiting and waiting...).

Rest of the day, been sleeping and supposed to jam with cy, slept overtime, and slept again until the next afternoon...

Holiday is Coming

Got my paycheck this Friday, early in the morning, just i expected. Everyone's hoping to get sooner by the end of the month so on weekends they get to spend it. For me, i had to spend it on my car installment, phone bills, room rent, one big problem came up... My road tax gonna expire on 7 November. God damn, i'm purging out money like water flow... That's my urge to find a part time job to cover most of my expenses...

Lots of commitments, coming up on December, a gig. I've to part out money for jamming session. I'm again cracking up my head, again sleepless nights, again headache, again i'm into troubles... On Thursday, i went to meet clients and suppliers. So one of the suppliers is dealing hardwares, the director is kinda talkative type, regardless to anyone's status and age gap, he seems fond to everyone. His PR'S great, only matters from his words could bring some attitude and not most of the listeners accept it. I'm fine with him, cuz i know he got lots of things to say, i'm hearing it.

He told me a lot of life's facts, in family issue. From part of it, he stated money was no longer for him to be concern, only if he gets enough to cover his expenses monthly, and enough time to give to his family, he's rich. Yes, rich in the sense of giving all the options in life, not just by career and money, how much you get is how much you trade off. I used to admire those businessmen get to travel on air, business class, eat good food in hotel, stay in luxury hotel, meet corporate clients, make loads of wages. But wait, with all these earnings, does it included time, free time with family, personal and love? I don't really think so. That's what my supplier been telling me.

All the facts above very true, and true enough that i don't get much to pay that much, that's fucked up...

What is money?

When i can be settled up?

There's no end for us committing on our desires, the more we possess, the more to contribute, the more marathon we must run. Most of the people understand, one thing in life that we never get satisfied, but till it comes a realization, it's already too late. That's the time when we're old, settled down desiring something essential yet it's not.

Friday, had to go Nilai do site measurement, need to go there with my contracter, Michael, he's easily known as his skin pale off like cancer. i could hardly listen to what he's trying to say cuz he's like having much phlegm in his throat, kept spitting on tissues, piling up in a plastic bag hung on the car cigarette lighter, even use back the same tissue for another spit. I don't feel gross about it, he's aged up, worked too hard most of the time, less sleep (his eyes looked like cancer disease type symptom), and he's been too much thinking, paused a lot during the conversation. Yup, he's Kim's father, hehe, pretty girl's father. Before he made his time for me, he's out somewhere, while i'm waiting at his office for like an hour. As he promised the time, he never got a little tolerance for me, i've got something else to do man! Whatever, respect him as my contracter that in future he'll make sure my job done, so i had to put the tolerance first... Damn...

When we're on our way to Nilai, it's about lunch time and none of us ate, he brought me somewhere near Bangi ate spicy pork soup plus a dish of look alike Bah Kut Teh, cost about RM25, only 2 of us. During our conversation, he did a lot of talking, about my company's politics. Some i'm suprised to hear, but what the hell, it's not affecting me much, misunderstood will occur if one has sick of mind thinking his righteous all the way. I supposed being a person, when in terms of small matter, let it go, if it's big, make it small, it's not gonna havoc, and never think of dignity for yourself only, opposition has one too. One eye open one eye close.

The short trip took the hell 4 hours and i've been rushing back to my office get the visual done, my DTP took leave on Hari Raya season (she's Chinese, probably going for a holiday) so she won't be doing the design for me. She could let me handle it, only that office's pc's are linked and the technical part gotten me confused. I just hope my pc have more RAM to run, and the stupid keyboard kept me typing extra letters and in CAPS accidently, cy went mad by that. Haha, sorry bro.

My client came to look for Kenny, and around 6pm Kenny should be heading home, his car still around. I got something to ask him, called him and found out he's in a pub, asked me if i'm joining the booze. Oh hell i'll be there, it's been a while to swing my mood out for a chill booze.

Heard the same lecture again, life... The most you need to cherish is your family, despite the money. Fuck money, it's been twisting my mind every night, like HOW, HOW, HOW? on going shit. I've problems with my family, i left home since 15, now i'm totally alone, and somehow i'm enjoying it... Freedom it's all i got. Yes, family is what we need. All i need in my life, the most important... PEACE IN MIND. No debts, no pressures, no twisted relationships, no desires on luxuries... I want happy. I mean i'm happy now, not as happy than i was a kid. The booze were so fine, i got high, everyone's happy, my boss started talking like a friend to me, also in humble... I'm not afraid of him being like that anymore, i want to learn from him, it's so useful tool to market my PR to market my products. As the day he interviewed me, i told him i really wished that i'm working for him. Yes, he had proven something i really wished for... A good superior.

Let's hope this goes on and never got me telling off the opposite way.
