Uncollective-Thoughts-Post

Yesss!!
I'm off early today! It feels like forever since I've 'seen' the sunlight when I leave office. (At times, I don't even get to see the moonlight).


[Yala.. I know, I can still see the sunlight from my office window.. duhh..]


For a moment just now, I actually sat blankly staring at the PC screen, thinking to myself, 'Hmm... What is there to do ah? Got nothing to do meh?'


Die lah....Is this what you call the workaholic syndrome?
Just please, don't tell me I've reached this stage. Stage of no work-life balance, where work is all that revolves around me, to a point of there's-nothing-I-could-think-of-doing-besides-work.


Scary! I don't want! It's so not SherLin to be that way... haha.


Anyway, rest assured, I finally figured out a way to fill my time with. Finally.
With what?
a) blogging (am doing just that right now!)
b) watching MJ's Live In Bucharest : The Dangerous Tour which I've just bought!


Speaking of which... I have a confession to make.
I've sinned. I've sinned because I used to be an MJ fan when I was younger...
And then mainstream entertainment media came in with news like, the speculations of multiple strange plastic surgeries he went through. Then came the alleged child molestation case. And then there was the blanket case. So much strange-ness that to a point, I gave up, and I couldn't be bothered. It was only recently with his sudden departure, that his life was re-highlighted to the world, that real clarifications came through, that he was suffering from lupus autoimmune disorder. I felt sorry that he was misunderstood along the way in any way he tried protecting himself.


That's so typical & peculiar of us human beings, ain't it? We're so easily influenced and get so carried away with the realistic world that surrounds our everyday-lives. And we tend to go passing out stereotyped judgments, and eventually fail to appreciate the goodness of something until it's gone. Then it's just too late.


So here it is, my personal tribute to MJ. Thank you for the music & dance you've brought to the world, for creating a legend of its kind. Rest in peace, and you'll be missed. A testament to how famous you are in the community?! We even name soya cincau after you!! I mean, for real. That's how famous you are. Everything's named after MJ. We even have roti MJ in mamak stalls! Really, no one can ever ever beat that popularity. Seriously. We'll remember you for a long long time to come! God bless!


Here's a clip I found.

No-Title-Post

It's been the busiest month, ever.

Have been exhausting my battery dry for weeks now!

No scoops of sweet macha ice cream, sounds of Wang Lee Hom, or even the ressurection of Michael Jackson (okay, this one may be a 'lil too dramatic) can power-gear me to an overwhelming state of mood, at this point of time.

I won't say I'm depressed (because I'm not, and because I know this is only temporary). But I'll say I'm so drained at committing hours of myself into work continuously. Committing hours of myself at my 2nd home - office (and I do think at the rate of how this is going, it's overtaking the status of my 1st home now). For if you think the common saying goes, 'Home is where the heart is'... For now, just associate me with 'Office is where the heart is'... Only that my heart is all over the place. Haha.

p/s : I finally understand what it's like to work for Un*le**r now. To spend 95% of your hours dedicated to work, and to allocate 5% remaining for yourself to sleep at home. (But at least their pay is justified, mine's not). Haha.

Okay. Enough drama to start my post with.

Anyway. The good news to that is.. I'm officially into my new role now.
Lots more busy days to come... But l'm keeping my fingers crossed to the ample rooms and opportunities to grow in.

With summer in US now.. Bet there'll be plenty great movies that line up the blockbuster openings. Watched Transformers, looking forward to Harry Potter, hoping to watch Ice Age...

In Terms of Melancholy

It's about time.

Time to write about something real. Something deep. Something sentimental. Something that exposes your heart out there to the wide, huge, transparent cyber world.

I have a few genuine questions to ask, and a few genuine thoughts to share.

In terms of custom-made compatibility...
Do you get yourself accustomed to a relationship pattern after a long time, synchronizing as you go along?
Or do you celebrate the differences that can either bring you & your partner closer or potentially draw you both apart?

In terms of taking things for granted...
Do you agree if I were to say, you have a higher tendency to take the closest & most beloved/precious person/things to you for granted. Thinking it has always been the way it is. Thinking it's always gonna be there, thinking it'll always stay the same, thinking it's because it's so much a part of you that you'd have plenty of time to cherish it later. People say it's great to be able to get comfortable. Yet the greater your comfort zone is, the higher the tendency to take things for granted.

In terms of staying true to yourself...
If you've been taught in life to believe in something, and then requested to tweak it as you go along, how much change buffer is of appropriate measures? Or do you continue staying true to what you believe in?

I have more to talk about...

In terms of wanting more...

In terms of how winning matters...

But I think my eyes are now half-closed and brain half-dead...
More next time.
End.
