Was semi intending to write this post, decided not to, then decided what the heck. Brain is a ball of fuzz now anyway. Been trying for the better part of the day to try and express myself in coherent words. For some reason I couldn’t quite find the words I needed to describe what I wanted to say, especially in Chinese, and ended up using gestures and stammering myself through.

Woke up just before noon when Ken called. Heh, he was supposed to do research for an assignment, but ended up at my place playing online games while I finally got round to cleaning up my room and apartment. I don’t know where all the time goes. Sleep too late at night, get up and have a bundle of things to do, then I have to start working. Come home from work to enjoy life a bit and there’s the computer tinkerin until it’s the wee hours of the morning again.

Work was the usual, and with the school semester settling in, students have sort of finalised their studying materials, so the pace of customers coming in has lessened. This was probably a good thing for me today, as my brain never really shifted from first gear after I woke up. I partly blame eating only Tim Tams on the lack of mental focus.

Evening came and I went off to dinner with a friend I haven’t seen in a while (my convocation is not counted). Went to some new Malaysian restaurant to try the food out. Heh, this is the farney (embarassing) bit. I can’t recall the last time I caught myself starring at gals. lol: there were a couple of pretty cute gals and I kept turning my head and looking at the pretty faces. Was then wondering to myself, it’s been awhile since any gal has caught my attention or interest. Heh… must be exhausted to the point of going mental.

Ahem.. yes, was in a Malaysian restaurant. Was looking at the menus they provided. They were booklets and you could almost call them cookbooks. The design and weight of paper was roughly similar with plenty of pictures to let your taste buds water. Got a little annoyed with the menu as it was more form than function. For every page of food, there were two pages of whitespace and pictures of food. Finally settled on 3 dishes and rice.

Now, to most Malaysians, you’d probably feel weird eating rendang and sambal in a modern, Westernised environment. The lighting wasn’t ur typical mamak/kopitiam styled fluorescent lamp. Heck, even the cutlery was still shinyand scratch free as I could see my reflection in it. Plus the food was served in white, deep plates. Don’t know, felt a bit too classy for my taste. Overall, the food was enjoyable and that’s the thing that counts the most in the food business.

After dinner activities included a couple of rounds of Gunbound. Know my brain is fried when I can’t even hit the target 3cm in front of me. *sigh*

Just thinking back, I had only 9 contact hours last semester compared to 25++ hours of work this time round. Was contrasting to my friend that I’m less free now then I was back then, but somehow, life is less stressful these days. No assignments cropping up and weighing down on you. Life is on a day by day basis, a little on the unknown side, but probably not needing to feel that I need to get through something (like assessments and exams), you feel a little more freedom in life. So many things going on…

Heh, just using this post as a reminder for the things I’m currently preoccupied with. Knowing how horrible my memory is, I might just need it.
