You know that feeling you get in the pit of your stomache

Mum just called and said Aaron isnt doing too well. She got a call from Aunty Irene, so shes going over to visit. He's on a respirator now. Its hard to word your thoughts.

Edit: Aaron breathing on his own now but laboriously.

Did you long to say, hurry misery.

How did I ever ...

One year

Ive worked for exactly one year in my company today!
Grats me.

Busy.

Been back from KK for about 3 weeks now and got to say, got lots of things done. It is easier by making things harder.

Let me explain.

The last 6 months I have not achieved many things set out by myself to do. There may be a list circulating somewhere but it remained, until recently, not done.

By making things harder for myself, I made this possible. I admit now that I am a serial procrastinator. Whats some of the things I want to get done? Get fit, have more time to plan, to save money, and a handful of other random things. What stops me? Not enough time? Fine. What am I doing that takes most of my time? (think).....get rid of it? Impossible...but I guess temporarily might be doable to accomplish some goals. So I did. I left my laptop in Malaysia.

Suddenly in the last 3 weeks Ive been checking things of my list. Although not having a computer at home made it harder, I can still stare at it about 8 hrs a day at work. Now I manage more chores, make lunch for the whole week before the week begins, finished reading a book and about 10% into another one (I normally average 2 books a year, maybe 3). Made a sizable fixed deposit and bought my first car (100% my own savings) which is probably the biggest feat I will accomplish for a while. They say your car is your second biggest investment.

Oh, today I passed my driving theory test to convert my license. Got one question wrong about cyclists. Damn cyclist! Did not know they CAN ride abreast if LESS than 1.5m apart. Which is the width of a bike lane. Gah, I design bike lane pavement!

Living without a computer at home has seen me get less lazy at home. The opposite is true at work.

Short story challenge

So here's a thought, lets flex our creative minds a tad. So we often complain we dont have time to do things, have no inspiration, we're tired, ....(insert list here).

So let me slap this metal gauntlet across your face twice for good measure. Lets see some of the best short stories you can come up with. Before we go, ugh, that sucks...aha, behold its not just any short story challenge, its one of the hardest and easiest at the same time. Contradictory? Maybe, oxymoron? Certainly.

Behold.....the less than 55 word short story challenge. Obviously you should pick a theme or 2 or three. Whatever u want. Ill give an example, (I read it and it was pretty bad, id give myself -2). Well 3 pts for me.

10 points -1st place
5 points - 2nd place
3 points for participating
1 point per comment (max 1 point for 1- comments)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So we squared each other off.
We both knew it was dumb, but someone had react first, ...did it matter, really?
Predetermined, I would lunge forward, dodge left, fake right, and go with two quick lefts and land a hard one smack in the middle. Man, dont think, just kiss her.

Kualiti, Mutu, Keunggulan

None of these apply to this post.

Me and Nanda went to Sono yesterday and had Japanese. The food was good (not the best), but the experience was good. Worth the money for a 2 hour trip to Japan.



Oh yeah, it was our 9 month anniversary. Eat that! our baby should be born right now. But Nanda says it will keep growing in her stomach. Hmmm....fishy....

Watching deathnote at the moment, up to about episode 10, gotta say, its awesome so far. Definitely worth it for anyone who sees themselves as the main character in their own storyline. Or in other words, a hate to lose egoist. Watch it. Its definitely not gay....so far.

What am I listening too now...some nice quotes from the UKtop40 i got.

" Well im sitting in the wet patch, in the middle of the bed, I feel pretty darn hard done by, i spent ages giving head..." -Its not okay, Lily Allen

" You dont need to be a high flyer....to catch your slut" - Did you see me coming, Pet Shop Boys.

"Six Eight triple 9 eight 2 1 2" Kiss me thru the phone - Soulja Boy

Cmon weekend, clocked 45 hours already this week. Im beat.
