ZiggyZag

I feel so sick! So disgusted! And when I found this painting, I thought this is best to tell how I truly FEEL. Interpret all you want and I will not deny your interpretation.....

Coffee, its unmistakable fragrance and sweet bitterness that linger in your mouth. This strong feeling can easily be felt even when I smelled it from far. I knew how it would taste. I knew how it felt when I had my first sip, with its lingering taste on my lips and tongue.

I feel like a cup of coffee now, would you like to have one?

When people asked where my hometown is, the first thing that came into my mind was the old, poorly decorated but very neat home. The roof with the red zinc, the planks that are erected neatly on a short wall of red bricks, the good quality bricks. There's a Milo-colored, murky river, right in front of the old house. I always woke up early on weekends just to catch glimpses of monkeys swinging from one tree to another. I remembered seeing brown, which is the majority and the grey colored ones, which are the rarer species in their little world. At the back of my house was the more explored side of a jungle. I grew up here.

Life was simple but it was great with adventures. I had discoveries, almost every day; playing hide and seek in the jungle, followed my grandma to her small farm and disgusted by earthworms, fed geese, chicks, ducks and sometimes the monkeys, watched in awe on how nature lived on its very own way with monitor lizard going its sneaky way up to a tree to eat the birdies, cried my eyes out when the monitor lizard ate the birdies despite the constant attack from mother and father of the birdies, hid my eyes when my dad skinned off the monitor lizard so to prepare tonic for my grandma, covered my mouth and laughed in my heart when fireflies came at night, screamed in fear when snakes glide its way into my safe haven; every day!, watched in horror how neighbours and dad smoked the cobras home and forced them out before killing them, saw the pale looking sole of a good friend, my immediate neighbor who drowned when he tried to fish for dinner, played badminton in the living hall, woke up at 4am to rubber plantation with mom to work and came back in time for a quick bath before going to school, afternoon session and of course many countless events in my childhood.

Despite the adventure, one of my favorite big breakfast with my family members is 5 silver spoon of coffee powder, 3 silver spoon of sugar in a big, silver coffee kettle, Cintan noodles (instant noodles) with fried, smashed eggs that were cooked with the noodles and finally the dipping of crackers biscuits into the black coffee. Yum. That's the best Sunday breakfast I enjoyed. Sometimes after a tiring day at work, I went home and I longed for this. Just the taste, but I can never get it back.

I miss home......

Do you live to learn? Or learn to live?

I'm for the first one but I realise I am learning to live in order to learn better.

I saw the little bear sitting right in front of me, on the big pile of papers stacked together on my desk. It was looking at me, trying hard to tell me something. I don't know! I held it with both of my hands and started looking at it! There was a scroll casing in the hands of the little bear. I picked it up and opened the lid. I saw it!

That note was given to me in Dec 2005. I was pretty new into the job and knew nothing much about the right protocol and being systematically RIGHT in this job. It was a great consolee and pat on my shoulder. It indeed was! In fact, I told this motherly friend of mine, I didn't really understand the gist of the message in the note when I read it earlier, but now it seems to have blended well in my blood. Can't imagine how fast I grow in less than 2 years here.

Can't remember the whole message, but the note was, "the key to failure would be to please everybody and the key to success is to live the way you want it to be" short and sweet.

I am and will always be thankful of whom I met in this lifetime, may it be good or bad, I learn something from them. I'm sure they learn something from me too.

Days passed. I read blogs! I read reviews! I read books! I read faces! I read changes!

It took me days to write this post. I didn't seem to have enough concentration to put together for this small, short post. I wonder why.

I read her blog that says about enlightenment. What a coincidence! I wanted to write the same, well almost similar post today. The only difference? I had no enlightenment yet!

Over cups of tea and coffee this morning, many topics went passed and finally one came. The talk about seeking enlightenment with ways to do it. The only question that played in my head was, what's the objective? What's the goal? And what would be the repercussion? Guess with these answered, I'm more convinced to set my mind on certain decision. Call me coward if you want but it's the smart and long term I'm going after! Not pure and temporary satisfaction. Period!

Played Tetris all my life but the thought of playing one of these really attracted me :)

Just a short update of my weekend :) Had a wonderful time @ Sentosa. In fact, we didn't do much nor walked around to check for performances. We basically stayed @ hotel throughout our 2D1N. I called and upgraded the room to Premier Terrace. They gave us the room, a corner room and we had good space and privacy there. The balcony was really good. I guessed we spent most of our time @ the balcony than anywhere else. Well, it is not as if I have not stayed anywhere with a balcony coz my home has one...but I guess the feel and the atmosphere with its good, expansive seaview was worth more than anything else. We had balloons, rose petals and rose as to wish us Happy Anniversary. That was thoughtful. Then came the fruits and kuih. To end it, they sent us cheesecake for the night. That was really sweet of them. It was Ruth, the girl who picked up my call to upgrade the room for all these wonderful arrangements.

We had lots of time together in this stay. We had a long chat @ night, with the cake and wine...we spent lots of time swimming, strolling along the beach,
racing, shooting, and watching the retriever swimming with his / her owners, played arcade games like 4 times for carol. Oh I guess with my newly learned skills in the pool game, I can beat any BEGINNERS haha...I repeat, BEGINNERS :p

Love this song...but cant seem to embed it in my blog...anyway u can click on the link to listen ....enjoy :)
