This time around I am heading back Penang, meet up with my family members, celebrating Chinese New Year and reunion. What is making this extra special is that we are welcoming 2 new people into the gang. I have one nephew joining us for the very first time in his life. Barely few weeks old, I think. Or months already? I am not too sure, that’s one thing I have to find out. His name is Matthew.

Another one is Jasmine. Cousin-in-law. =)

Reunion and orientation during an oriental festival. =D

*grin*

I think I will rename this type of post as the Waiting Lounge post. Because I am not exactly transiting. But a name doesn’t always reflect its true identity. Because always, the meaning grows with the life of the name. This type of posts started when I was travelling alone and transiting at the airport. Then every time I am at the airport, I will be writing…bla bla bla…

I have been working for 6 months now. As I work, I spend as well. Let this 6 merry months be the mark that I will start planning ahead of my future. Time passes, very very fast if you just sway with it. I have had my free ride. Now I need to find myself a direction. I need it to be a good one. Start saving. Thinking of what path to choose, starting from now; and yes, planning for a vacation as well. If I am going away to some place like Darwin, I may need a nice camera. =)

Look who surprises himself? I am planning already!

My new year resolution. Jumping into the bandwagon~ and ride away~

I attended a training camp.
Location: evets’ place
Duration: 3 days

Day 1

“Hey, we are going over his house until Sunday la, wanna come?” loongy replied my SMS…why not?!

But I had to admit one thing, knowing that I may not be able to continue to stay in my room for the coming year, my room was in a total mess…like World War III had just erupted and indeed it WAS!! big deal…

We went there, me, loongy, nek and evets lor~

Arrived, saw his mum “aunty!!” waited for delicious homecook dinner, damn that evets, house so near…can eat everyday le…I didn’t really have to wait for his mum to ask us feel at home…because I was damn envious of evets luck…and I just made myself as her son…ate like a..like a…man…hehe ^^ We had supper too…his mum was so nice la…(actually I miss his mum’s fried bittergourd with eggs now…)

We bathed, we DotA-ed, we set the alarm to wake us up at 9am. Wanna go to eat dim sum.

Day 2

We woke up at 12.30pm. Missed dim sum. Sleepy. His mum went back Johor. We DotA-ed. Then bathed. Then went to a HongKong restaurant – Calorie. Nice foods. But needed to wait for very long. Sitting there, trying to remember last time having breakfast. Couldn’t remember.

BTW, loongy was away too meet his schoolyears crush…Was reluctant to go at first…but love desperado….he went anyway…

Went to buy Tong Kei eggtart…one of the few eggtarts I can recommend to other people…good! Wanna extent our lunch to tea cuz lunch ended at 2.30 anyway. On our way to Old Town, walking, it rained. We ran to car and went back.

I saw a very tempting sofa…full of lust…like a devil in angel’s body…flirting me…OMG, i gave in and sinned…slept from 3pm til 6.30pm. Dreamless. But I remembered evets came and sat on my right. He gave me a feeling like my mother. Then he sat on my right. Felt like my girlfriend. (I don’t know what I was trying to say now)

Apparently we all slept, we DotA-ed again before went to fetch loongy at LRT station. Heard nek said he was awakened by his loud snoring…sad…for a few times…haha…sadder^^

Saw loongy, he claimed that he was so smart to SMS us that he had arrived at LRT station while he was still at KTM station to prevent us for being late. But we were having killing spree at that time. Never give damn. He waited.

Went to Korean Restaurant – Dae Jong Gum (i think so). Stunned by the price. Ordered pork neck meat one another pork thingy and glass noodle with pork and korean instant noodle that cost RM10 alone. Anyway, it was a delicious meal. The meat super nice. (Passed by there recently, it had closed down)

Had Tau Fu Fah before going back. Wanna play pool but raining again.

DotA-ed again. Set alarm at 8.30am. Wanna eat dim sum next day. I slept in the living hall this time. Their hands were damn itchy….touched here touched there…

Day 3

I woke up. PU-ed. Saw the clock. Disappointed at myself. It was 12.30 pm. Missed breakfast AGAIN.

DotA-ed. But raining heavily. evets fried maggie mee. It was not appetizing at all. But we were super HUNGRY. Ate all. Plus MILO as well. DotA-ed again. Old Town. Buy eggtart again. Laughed.

Went back. His mum was busy cooking. SUPER fantastic dinner. Ate a lot. Like the Pork Stomach Soup. Thumbs up. Liked the sweet mango. I ate all. evets grumbled to his mum, saying I ate them all. haha….

Packed and back. Sad. Back to my room that I may leave anytime. KANASAIIII….

…

Those were the days. Those were the days. How it was fictionalized by first hand account. Like a diary. After all, mom, after all your good intentions to buy me diary when I was young to encourage me to write. I did it anyway now, by blogging.

I refashioned her.

Okay, maybe it is because of the lack of writing or that I am preparing to go oncall later, my creative writing sucks today (not that it is any better other day as well).

It is my room that I mentioned above. Big  room, huge space, superb privacy provided by the owner and best of all, the lift only goes to the odd numbered floors, mine is on the 13th floor (prime number) and unit 17 (another prime number), that’s what I meant by against all odds, like literally everyday.

My toilet/bathroom is worth a special mention. Being on the higher unit, the scenery is good. The bathroom has a wonderful view of the city. Of course with a huge window. Hahaha!!! Unintentionally designed but secretly well hidden from other people from viewing my fanciful body. *shy*

However, this aged mansion is not going to be available for a long time. The whole area is going through a huge en bloc, to convert this area into a high rise area. This is the first unit, and because it was so awesome, it turned out to be the only unit of room I came to survery. I paid the rental at the same instance itself as well, cancelled all my other appointment. Though bit expensive, but very near to my working place. Strategically located, stone throw away from my work place, from the Highlander coffee and slightly 2 stones throw away from another coffee place. Nearby to a huge police complex and the MRT station. Running track to the Marina Bay and Clarke Quay.

I couldn’t imagine how this fun and our lover endeavour would end (sort of expectedly short). While I’m still inside you, I would love you. LOL!!!

I am trying to edit the life of SHM, because I still can.

‘Just like you’ve been through the war, we read it through your memoir of recollection. I’m sure you’ve edited it.’

I wanted to become an astronaut when I was young. I like the stars, arguing with friends that Pluto is not a planet. Reading Hawking’s when I was in primary school? WTF…like I was some genius waiting for the NASA to notice and hire me straight away!?? To say I was a geek is not accurate, maybe under-exposed.

Then I enter this profession. (I could say is due to under-exposure too)

..and this is what hit me when I was walking back just now.

In my line of profession, social life is like a solar system. You are just one face of the planet, orbiting in your own orbit. Eclipse is the rare time you meet up each other.

On some rare chances, love at first sight/ first love is like seeing a comet in the sky. It comes quick, fast and then it is gone. But you will never forget it. Never.

when will i see it again?

If you are darn lucky, you see meteor shower.

That is if you let your life goes itself at its own pace according to the orbit. If you let the life drive you.

…

This is not laziness. This is me letting it waiting for chances. Just like today, just like now, waiting for a day off to write a post. Long overdue. This is we all waiting for your name to come up in the visible contact list, waiting you to come online, and you to be online at the same time, to connect with each other.

This is who we are if we take the train and not driving the car.

Not that I am encouraging more pollution and suggesting that traffic congestion is not a problem. Maybe car pooling? LOL!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone…especially to the community of SHM…

today out topic is —>>>>> obesity and its complications
because we will be discussing SANTA CLAUS….whatever…

Balthazzar should be writing this No. 1 post…then it will not be like this – so many nonsense, my very own personality coupled with alcohol effects…silent (hill) night mar~festive seasons…occasional red wine…biasalah~

anyway…please read the page about SHM to know more…

p.s. i love you ???? *vomit* bilious vomitous – green colour…

ya, another thing is…shhhh….when you see mee around, pretend that you don’t know i am the writter…you know lar, i am bit shy…

Exactly 3 years ago, this blog was established, perhaps out of curiosity of wanting to own a group blog; perhaps out of boredom; perhaps it was the side effects of eating too much seafood; or perhaps by a bunch of friends trying to create something that we could share, together, and call it our site.

The name came from the ultimate think-tank– Balthazzar. Wonder if he still uses this nick by now. Something cliche, yet simple and still mentioning the ingredients that formed the seed of this site.

Well, things do not usually happen the way we always wanted. I became the only writer. Perhaps the only reader now. It started out initially by showcasing the ‘talents’ that we have. Then we went into different postings, group became smaller. the theme changed, many times. But what is still going on is the sometimes confusing ideology/nonsensical/ boring personal posts that are still occasionally being posted by me.

From a group blog to a personal blog. 

3 years. We have since graduated. Started working. A few even got married. Many hints, tears, rants shared (mostly personal). Then as priorities change, this site became something like accessory. A place that you (maybe not any more) and I know still exists, that I can safely say something out.

Today maybe if I were in a different crowd, or rather, back among you all, I would, definitely still be someone that you know, vividly still, accompanied by my laughter, making careless jokes (most of the time, still do so).

Hi, how are you all? Wish all of you all are happy and well.
