why so black and lonely?

Binge eating. Shopping spree. Ball kicking. Porn watching. Blaming people. Daydreaming. Wall punching. Cursing the world. Throwing dishes. Getting high. Channels switching.

Anything to make you happy, or to make you feel you’re happy.

When peace & happiness are at a premium, you’ll grab everything that you could lay your hands on just for a bit of it, because it lets you survive another day with your sanity intact.

By the way, I really like your smiling, happy face. Where can I buy it?

One thing alarmed me last weekend while watching United drew with the Royals. I wasn’t too disappointed, instead I was quite calm! Coming from me who considered anything less than a victory is a failure, that was quite something worth thinking about. Have I lost interest? or have I begun to accept the fact that United can’t win all the time? It could also be probably because I already had a hunch that the Madejski Stadium wasn’t going to be an easy place to come out with 3 points.

But anyway, it’s still unacceptable and we need to bounce back immediately to the winning way. Starting it at the Stadium of Light next Wednesday will be a very positive thing. Payback is a bitch, baby.

I love Adam Sandler & Rob Schneider in an Adam Sandler movie together. On second thought, I love Rob Schneider MORE than Adam Sandler in an Adam Sandler movie.

I must’ve slept on the wrong side of the bed last night. Nothing’s going right today. An avalanche of headaches has come my way the moment I sat on my chair. And it hasn’t stopped till now. Just a couple of more hours before the end of the day, I hope to survive with my body & mind intact in one piece when it’s all finally over.

Sometimes I seriously wish to be considered non-existant on several matters. I believe that would save me from lots of headaches and unnecessary troubles. If only things could be so easy.

I came across this baby while browsing through Lufthansa’s in-flight shopping catalogue last week. It caught my eyes, and I couldn’t get it out of my head since then. It’s very, very stylish and the product development guy at Victorinox must be brilliant.

Gue kadang-kadang bingung sama orang. Loe kerja itu buat apa sih? Masa kerja udah tau kewajibannya apa, tanggung jawabnya apa masih perlu tiap kali dibilangin terus musti ngapain. Aduh, udah pada cukup bangkotan kali orangnya kalo musti tiap kali diingetin.

Gak ada tuh sama sekali perasaan urgent kalo reportnya belum selesai, gak ada perasaan khawatir gimana musti meeting sama klien besoknya kalo data yang diminta dari jauh-jauh hari masih belum ada. Bisa mati berdiri gue kalo tiap kali musti ngurusin orang-orang kayak ginian! Kenapa musti tiap kali gue yang terbirit-birit ngingetin elo? Kenapa musti gue yang panik tiap kali mau meeting? Gue bener-bener pengen tau apa yang elo rasain tiap minggu!

They don’t pay me that much to be insane this soon!!!

I passed by my first ever workplace today, and memories of it automatically flooded the mind. It’s also around this time that I started to work there; nine years ago. A two-year stint that helped develop me into what I am now.

Tempus fugit.

The fact that I finished Rooney’s autobiography in one sitting puzzled me. It could be because either I’m insomniac or the book’s so light. I actually had my doubt before deciding to buy the book, as I wondered what he would tell us in such early stages of his career. And judging from the title, we can be sure that more book will definitely be published at the latter time.

It’s certainly up-to-date with the fiasco in Germany with Portugal & a certain Ronaldo covered altogether with the pictures. I also like the fact that Rooney provides more information about life in United’s dressing room & Carrington than Giggsy’s or Keano’s book.

However, I think Wazza doesn’t need to repeatedly tell us how much he loves Coleen or how good she is in her performance or in her life. We get it, son. Tell us something else that we don’t know.

If Rooney is being true to his words on wanting to stay Red till the end of his career, then it’s with great anticipation that we await his next autobiography where he may diss his next manager after David Moyes, Sir Alex Ferguson himself.

Will he?

PS: I think it’s worth noting that the cover of my book has Rooney’s back in United shirt instead of England.

I can only fully comprehend John Gray’s theory on Mars & Venus when the girls in the theatre loudly squealed "ooh" or "aah" to every dress worn by Anne Hathaway after her "transformation" in The Devil Wears Prada.

I definitely don’t get it as I don’t see any reason why one should go "ooh" or "aah" on dresses.

But then, they also didn’t get it it why we cheer or weep during the opening theme of a Star Wars movie.

Tucked away in some obscure corner at Lucky Plaza was one of the best kept-secrets among Indonesians living & working in Singapore. Resto Surabaya provided a haven of authentic Indonesian food for those who were homesick or just dying to once again eat in a place where the other guests around you are chatting in Bahasa.

While enjoying your ayam bakar or ayam kremes with real Kecap Bango and Teh Botol, you can also watch music videos of Peterpan, Radja, or other Indonesian artists playing on the TV from a pirated VCD. There, you don’t need to speak your Singlish or Teochew. No need, lah, as you’re served by mbak-mbak.

It’s always priceless to have a piece of home whenever one is far away from home. Isn’t it?
