Sappy post. You have been warned! Not that there’ll be anyone reading this though.

I’ve always been told that I’m a hopeless romantic (or at least that’s what I call myself). I’ve even been called ‘obsessive-compulsive’ by some. Not that I mind though, as I think that I am like that most of the time. Urban Dictionary defines a hopeless romantic as “A person who is in love with love”. They also mentioned that hopeless romantics are “idealists, the sentimental dreamers, the imaginative and the fanciful”. Sounds just like me doesn’t it?

I believe you will have an idea of where I’m leading to with regards to this post. It should be obvious with the disclaimer and all.  That’s right, I’m talking about love, and the one I love. Now, it would have been more appropriate if I were to write this on Valentine’s Day instead, but then again, I don’t have to wait for Valentine’s Day to write about this. Love doesn’t just happen on a specific day only, it can happen at any time. So there you go.

Love. It is one word that has so many meanings. I guess there is no one way to describe it, as the meaning of love are different to different people. Even though there are so many definitions of love, the one common thing that they share is the feelings of affection, attraction and adoration to the person they are in love with. As I mentioned earlier, love can happen anytime, and most of the time you wouldn’t notice it. By the time you realised it, you are already in love with the other person. That is why there is a saying which goes along the lines of  you don’t plan love, but you fall in love. I might be giving off the impression that I’m an expert in love, but trust me, I’m not. I’m just in love with love. Hopeless romantic indeed hahahahahaha.

Being in love is such a wonderful feeling. I thank my lucky stars that I am one of those people who have experienced love. The best part is, I am still experiencing it. I still get butterflies in my stomach whenever I see my other half after not seeing her for most of the day. My heart still skips a beat the moment I see her from afar when I’m waiting for her. I will break into a huge smile the moment  I get close to her, walking side by side holding her hand (although I usually hide this as to not appear as a psycho to other people).  I go crazy (the good kind) whenever we kiss, and nothing else in the world matters when we’re like that. I miss her terribly when I’m not around her, and whenever we see each other again the feelings of pain for missing her terribly will be replaced with feelings of joy-gasm and everything seemed right again. I just love her so much.

It’s just hard to describe how I feel. I think there are no words that can truly describe the feelings I have. All I know is that I love her with all my heart, and it will not go or fade away. I don’t ever want to lose this feeling. All I want is just her.

Sophia, my love. If you ever come across this post (after asking me repeatedly for the password), know this. There was never any doubt in my heart about our love. I love you with all of my heart, and I will always love you with the same feelings I have now and before.

I love you.

Took a much welcomed break from work today, which is just what the doctor ordered. Although my break was only for a short while, I was so glad that I got to take it. Work got ever so hectic since my Team Lead vacated her post.

Today was one of those days where things got a little bit stressful for my liking. Wait, ‘a little bit’ is an understatement. Things got way too stressful for my liking. That’s more like it.

The week’s work accumulation was the reason why it was so stressful in the office, I think. I somehow manage to screw up on something that I had to do, and it kinda left a bad aftertaste on me after that. I felt suffocated, and the break felt so good.

I get to play hooky from work, and went to the main office at the Petronas Twin Towers to collect a laptop for my training next week. The timing of it couldn’t be any better as I get to be away from work for the whole week. That’ll provide me with loads of time to get work-related thoughts out of my head.

On another note, sometimes I feel that it’s really convenient having a wifi connection. That way, I don’t have to wait till I come back from work to update this blog. I can update through my iPod Touch, anytime, anywhere. Like in the train earlier. But that’s where the convenience ends though. I still prefer using a wired connection. Maybe I’ll elaborate further in my next post

First off, let me start by wishing everyone a very happy new year. May we all have a smashing year ahead of us.

I know I haven’t been updating much here (even though I said I would), but hopefully it will change. So as a welcome back gift from me, allow me to reminiscence a little bit, as well as indulge about the past decade.

A decade ago, I was just reaching towards the end of my teenage years. I just finished high school and about to step into the young adult life. At that time, it was pretty scary. I mean, I was really happy that school was officialy over, but at the same time, I also felt lost as I didn’t know what I should do. College was the only option then so I was heading there. The question was, what should I do?

A decision was made as to what I should do. I won’t go into details about it, but it’s safe to say that I’ve made a lot of bad calls here and there over the past decade. I still do it now, and I’m not proud of it

The past ten years have taught me a lot, and it’s made me who I am and put me where I am today. Ten years ago, I was still a kid stepping into the real world. Today, I’m no longer the same kid, but a not so young-ish man still going through life as it is, hoping to make it big someday.

Will I get there? I don’t know. No one knows really. We’ll just have to wait and see

Happy new year everyone, and have a good one!

Some of you may think this thing is for kids, but I don’t. Did my first ever sand art on Friday, with some help from Soph. Before this, my encounter with sand arts was with helping my cousin and niece, so this is considered a first for me.

This thing is really fun to do, and if you’re not worried about the occasional stares from on lookers, feel free to try it one day. It’ll seriously bring out the kid in you.

Before I go, allow me to show you my ‘masterpiece’

Giroro

Let’s face it, we all love a good commercial every now and then. From the Budweiser ads to…your food ads, you name it. Recently I found another commercial that I quite like. Watched it in the cinema a few times ad it never gets old.

The commercial that I’m talking about is the Heineken ad. It starts off with the lady of the house showing her girlfriends around the house. Eventually they stumbled on the wardrobe, and everyone of them were screaming and shouting with delight. Then, they heard an even louder screams and shouts, and the camera switched the scene to the guys, in a refrigerator-like room full of Heinekens. Those guys were really screaming with ecstasy and joy-gasm and you can’t help but to laugh at it.

Watch the ad here

I know I made a post about this previously, but I feel a need to rant more about people who don’t seem to know how to use the toilet properly. Also, since I haven’t been writing much for the past few months, I feel this post will be a good ‘warm up’ for me, to get my creative juice flowing again.

Now, where was I? Ah yes, toilets. Why, oh why do people have to be so bloody ignorant when using public toilets? From shopping malls to offices, it’s all the same. You go inside the cubicle, hoping to do whatever business you have to do, but lo and behold, it’s so dirty you don’t even dare stepping in.

We’ve all been there before. And let’s face it, we don’t like stepping in dirty toilets. You expect a clean toilet when you enter, well, so does everybody else. It’s meant to be shared, so please people, do your bit to keep it clean. I’m sure the person who goes in after you will be very pleased and thankful.

Oh yes, before I forget, please remember that the flush is there for a reason. It’s not a decoration to ‘liven’ up the place. So, DO NOT be afraid to use it!

The first one was good, but the sequel is even better (although not all episodes are nice). Still, I say this is a must watch anime, even if you’re not into the whole drama / slice of life anime genres.

Give it a try, and you won’t regret it.

I know I haven’t been updating this blog of mine for a very long time, but hopefully, it’ll change. For now, I, on behalf of Kanryu.org, would just like to take this opportunity to wish my faithful readers a very Happy New Year. May you have a smashing and great year ahead

First off, I would just like to inform everyone of you here that I’m still well and truly alive. As you might have noticed, I haven’t been writing much here, but rest assured, I’m going to start writing again from now on. Especially after the magnificent result we had last night. Talk about motivation to write

As the title says, we beat them Manures at the Grove. Oh and what a result it is. I’m still basking in the glory of defeating them, and I’m very sure that all Gooners around the world are feeling the same thing. The game itself was very enjoyable, except for the last 6 minutes of extra time. We don’t want a repeat of Sp*rs now do we?

All in all, it was a great performance from the boys, and I think everyone stood up to be counted for. Gallas in particular had a very good game, so hat’s off to him. The referee however, was a complete wanker. Some of his decisions and calls were really poor, and I can remember clearly 3 incidents which involved Walcott, Diaby and Nasri that would warranted a yellow card for the offenders. But alas, don’t think we’re getting any support from him, that bloody wanker.

Anyways, why spoil the mood when we can celebrate (more) our team’s victory? Here’s to the Gooners around the world, now, watch us go!

On the way to get dinner with my brother earlier, I realized the increase in the number of cars on the road, compared to a few days ago. A sense of dread came over me. People have started coming back from their break, school, colleges, universities are open again, and it’s back to the usual hectic-and-busy-everyday-life that we go through. I know that it has started today, but since I had the day off today, I’m only going to experience it starting tomorrow

The break I had wasn’t much of a break anyways. I was in and out of the hospital, driving here and there for my parents, taking care of my nephew and nieces, I hardly have time on my own. Except for that particular night out with a friend of mine. Sometimes I think it would be better if I was at work, that way I wouldn’t have to be a slave to everyone

Anyways, it’s back to work for me tomorrow. Back to being stuck in traffic, back to my cubicle, back to my daily routine, back to normality really.  Bleh!
