Dirt on the hands
Every single thing that we do are like dirt on our hands. It may not show, but it's there. At the end of the day, when the hands are washed and dried up, was getting our hands dirty worth the while? or were they just stains that needed to be washed out as soon as possible and be forgotten?

Clocking in
I was given a warning from my boss yesterday. He's not in the same place where I am so I've sorta followed the Motorola peeps whereby they don't have a clock-in time. So recently I've gone from coming in at 8.45am to about 9.30am. I even had time to watch Cheers before going to work. Coo huh? well, not so cool lah, he said even though he's not there, the time that I login to the system is what he's gonna use to clock me with. Sorry, but no more Cheers in the morning.

I hate school holidays. Main reason? Jam. The morning jams have gotten considerably worst since the holidays started. I went from taking 45 mins to work to about 1hr 15 mins now. Guess the parents who sends out their kids and go to work early all join in the rush hour traffickers during this season. So guess what? I hate school holidays.

Oh the longing....
Last week I went to OU and I fell in love. It was love at first sight. I couldn't resist myself, I just had to touch. My God, skin so soft and supple. I am in dilemma. Should I make a move before someone else does? Or should I bid my time and wait for a better chance? It's impractical. Am I wanting just for the sake of showing off? Would the time and care it takes to maintain be worth it? Do I care enough to offer protection from rain and snow? I just want to feel the warmth of skin on top of mine. If I could have that feeling everyday I would have no hesitation, but then again, it's not practical I say with our hot weather and all. O bloody hell, 350 bucks for a leather suede jacket? but it's soft suede... it just feels so damn good. My pay comes in today, do I take this chance?

i watched a malaysian movie...seriously
I admit I love watching movies. My mom says I'm a movie addict, which is very much true. Since I've started working, I watch on average 2 movies per week. Sometimes I even watch lousy movies when there's nothing good on. I even watch movies by myself when I can't find anyone who wants to tag along huhu.

Last Friday I watched Ciplak. Yes, I know, a Malaysian made film. The total cost to make the film was less than RM10k. Surprisingly, it was a pretty good flick. Me and my buds were laughing our ass off in the cinema. There was only like 8 ppl total anyways =p It's totally in English with no subtitles, much to the chagrin of the 4 malay blokes sitting in front of me who went out after 20 mins of running time. It's a low cost movie, so ignore the lousy make up and effects and it's pretty good stuff.

trust no one
Funny isn't it how the old virtues also become outdated in our so callled modern world. Take for instance, trust. Trust is now synonymous with gullibility. If you trust people easily, then yeah, you're gullible. I'm gullible. Even when I know someone is lying to me I usually trust them. I trust that they'd have a reason to lie. Not everyone who lies does so with ill intent.
Humility is another virtue that's not found nowadays. I admit that I don't have much of humility in me. Humble people are usually thought of to be kinda low in self esteem. I don't think that way but even so I still don't feel like trying to imprint humbleness in me. To compensate for that though, I have respect for people. Even if I hate someone I'd still have respect for them, not a lot but there should still be some. I respect my superior but I don't feel humble when I'm with him, kinda like that lar.
Now I don't wanna move on to the rest of the virtues and stuff. Then I'd have to talk about honor, and then gentlemanness since they're both are somehow related. Being a gentleman is usually a facade now, it's got no honor in it, it's just a tool to pick up girls. Tis the truth I tell ya. O snap, I better stop before I start ranting.

medley
Didn't get much sleep last nite. Got to bed at 1am and couldn't sleep a wink past 6. Got something on my mind huhuh. For anyone who knows me that's saying a lot, coz nothing much fazes me and for something to stick in my head up to the point of making me unable to sleep it must be something.

I think I'm setting some kinda record today. It's past lunch hour atm and so far I've spoken a total of 3 lines. Well, 4 if you count "hey" as a line. Think I'm gonna try to see if I can get through the day with less than 10 lines.

I've been busy at work... busy not doing any work and reading web comics I mean. Yesterday I had to stay in the office til 730pm. Figures that I didn't have any work at all during the day then the vendor guy could only come at 7pm.

I'm never much for giving gifts. I like giving em, but I only give stuff that I think I would like. I have pretty expensive tastes though, so giving gifts are expensive to to me that's why I don't do it often. I like jewelries, bangles, necklaces etc. Not for wearing em though, but I like em. I hate plushies, if I give people plushies it prolly means I ran outta ideas. I like books, but not many people like books as gifts. I like artsy stuff, like pictures, crafts, you know, but the nice ones are too expensive so, meh. btw, if I ever want a gift, it'll be this http://sumolounge.com/omni.shtml, daym that thing is cool.

I wonder, how is it that people who drive cars in KL everyday still don't get the mentality of city driving? I mean, like there's always a congestion right before a toll in the morning right? and still there are people who roll down their windows just to wave the car beside him to let him cut in, like, come on man, everyone wants to squeeze in,wave however much you want you're still not getting in unless you can cut in. Then there are the ones who wants to get out of junction where both sides of road is moving slowly and he still waits for both sides to clear before going out. Um... just go outta the junction and the cars will stop ya know... it's not like theyre moving faster than 10kmph anyways.

Notice in thriller and horror movies how when people come into their houses they never turn on their lights right away? They always move in the dark and then bad things happen? Well, I used to think it's kinda stupid. Like do people really go into their dark houses and dont automatically turn their lights on? Now though, I notice that I do that all the time. Whenever I get back, I take the shoes off, empty my pockets, change my clothes, and then only would I turn on the lights, and that's only because I need lights to take off my lenses.

Hmm... I seem to be jumping topics today.

waaaaait
Time goes by so fast when I'm working compared to college life. Of course that's mainly due to me having only 2 days to myself compared to the whole of the week before. Now Monday to Friday goes by in a boring repititious cycle. I mean I don't even realize that it's been a month a half already since I started working.

One of the HP guys that I do work with keeps calling me Su... It's so weird. Like no one I know other than at work calls me Sulaiman and here is a guy calling me Su also.

I guess I could become crazy without any social interactions tho. Seeing as I rarely talk when I'm at work and I live alone. So yeah... it does get sorta lonely sometime. Which brings me to the problem at hand.... why the hell is TM taking so long to install my phone lines?!

ps : my sister is preggy again. tsk3

slapstick joe
Why is my blog so rarely updated even when I have so much time at work? It's coz I never have the mood to write when I'm bored. Look at all those months I was at home, not a single blog entry. So why is it there is a new update when I just posted one yesterdat? Simple, I got busy at work. :D

So anyways, the topic for today is emotionally suppressed. Yes I am one of those kinda people who do not know how to show affection, anger or happiness. Easy enough explanation of why I never got into a relationship - I just don't know when I like someone until it's far too late to do anything about it. Sad you say? not for me I suppose. I rarely feel sad. I rarely feel anything other than apathy. Well, that's totally exaggerated but you know what I mean :P

I always get touched and get all teary when reading books. Sometimes at movies also, but more often when I'm reading. Prolly coz after hundreds of pages about the characters, you feel like you know them, compared to a few hundred minutes of movie time. So actually, I'm not all that insensitive I suppose.

Oh who am I kidding, I'm just confused is all.

moving in
Even though I've started working for more than month already, I've been practically living out of my bag. First I stayed at my friend's house in Subang, then afterwards I stayed with my best bud in Tropicana since he has no car til this week so he needed someone to drive him to work in the morning, considering that my office is less than 1km from his apartment, I was a perfect candidate.

Last weekend tho, I moved all of my stuff from this 2 apartments(other than my pc which I left in Subang since they hae internet $$) into my mom's rarely used apartment in Seri Kembangan. I've registered for a phone line and streamyx also to make it habitable for me(no internet at home? the torture!).

So the first morning of my stay at the apartment, I figured I'd fry myself some breakfast since I saw some unopened nuggets in the freezer last time I checked. Sure enough, the nuggets were there and I started frying. It was a jolly good morning.... up until I had my first bite. The nuggets were rotten already. Which shows how long it must have been in the freezer to have been rotten although they werent open yet. No worries, the cafe was just downstairs. Guess I need to buy some groceries later.

On a side note, I have a big grin plastered on my face for the past couple of days. Oh jolly days are up ahead :D
