84. Not New

Personal

Nothing much, for now. Let's just let it be.
syiok sendiri sajalah kalau tiada pembaca haha

It's a nice number anyway. 2010. Two zero one zero. Twenty-ten. Two thousand ten. Dua ribu sepuluh.

The new year countdown and activity was done away from home again. No not outside Penang or where I study. The party has dwindled down to 3 persons only namely Wheen, Hooi and I myself. It's the 3rd friendly New Year gathering.

Safely saying, we're at Queensbay all 3 times before the great overnight. All 3 nights with fireworks banging the sky. All 3 nights witnessing infestation ball-loose lala music on-stage. Bear with them we just want to spectate the firework display. Not so spectacular and big this time for the year 2010.

"wahh hao piao liang de" - "wuuahhhhhh" - "hepi niu yerrrrr"

For the year 2011, if I am at back at Penang I am going to spend it with my family. Or take them out to somewhere kia kia.. And I would like to be maybe at G-Spot..for some new year countdown gig I suppose. Anywhere to chill out and listen to good r e a l music.
My wombats usher you. To a great and a bang bang new year. Captured by my brother. resized by me.

An awkward melancholic moment at Manhattan Fish Market. Our super filling final meal of the year 2009. We were eating the ice-cream and the ambience then was not quite noisy anymore. The radio player is playing Celine Dion's Because You Loved Me. ...the feeling of being lonely suddenly rose. We're all single. So rap it...

We had some nice blues-jamming. Just natural and good sharing of lead and rhythm.

So for some more visuals and fun scrolling through...

The end of 2009 and the commencement of 2010. [Port Dickson Nov '09 + January '10]

Salvaged speaker system of my grandpa's. Served me a while before I handed it back to my brother for further salvation as I leave home.

End.

Clear enough? That's my pyjamas anyway since toddler age. It's size XS to me now. Show muscles and.. can belly dance..erh.

so yeah...

83. Search in Silence

Personal

Depeche Mode says it, Enjoy the Silence.

Simon & Garfunkel explains in the Sound of Silence.

Anyways, they are repeated quotes.

So there goes my last day and nights for Penang. Where I was at home. So many times I find myself doing nothing. As in nothing beneficial and just wasting time at least to my own senses. Like putting off agendas and rather than accomplishing them I just procrastinate.
And I always forget about giving myself a rest. ahha.. finally, after badminton on Tuesday I decided to give up on any fun activities. My mood's totally screwed. My heart sank. My muscles crying for some stationary comfortable oxygenated air. So, I contacted my brathers and a seester to announce my ppk-ing.

I went for silence after that.
Yer can say, I look moody. More like sleepy actually. My aim for my last day was to rest as "effectively"... Went out with my brother. Drop mum. Breakfast. Lorong Kulit. In between them were sleeps. And then treated myself with scrumptious, succulent, luscious, waliaueh blablabla KFC Zinger Tower X-Meal. Makan puas-puas dan kuat-kuat. Played a few missions of Ace Combat Zero. Did amazing dogfighting manoeuvres. Easy mode...so enemies are quite easily shot down.

At night after dinner was the consequence of last minute packing...it's normal. So the effective rest taken was put to energize myself to stand till pass midnight. Damn myself again...for having so much to pack and bring down to my rented house...especially moving new items. Still not all I have a household shopping list when I reach the jungle-forsaken-abode.

So there. I think I have typed too much to express my silence.

There's actually a lot of tension and pressure in myself when I stayed quiet. Lots of things running through my head. Trying to clear up my thoughts which bring me down. Thinking. Resolving. Searching.

And to Hooi, YW, Jonathan, KY and Jon thank you all for the company and fun activities together. To the others whom I met along the way and the invitations to join more fun activities, "merci beau coup".

Sepang says, "welcome back student".
Nilai says, "welcome back sucker".
I say, "cb-iah"/"cb-llar"-ala-TheHooiMAN
