Bigger by the day

These are the days

Got the news yesterday that one of my friend from university days in England is at IJN with heart problem. Thought I wanted to pay him a visit today but then I had something on. Perhaps III go on Monday. Then there's another friend whom I have not seen ever since I retired. He has loss control of his fingers on both hands, making him unable to drive, write, use the phone or computer or even eat properly. Used to visit him while I was still working. Maybe will pay him a visit again someday.

That's not good enough

Sometimes you'd think doing a certain job is easy but wait till you try it. Then you will find it is not as easy as you think. I always thought being a tourist guide is easy. All you have to do is talk something, and everything will be okay. I have seen them working first hand while on my travels, to Iran, China and Indonesia for example. Nothing complicated. As easy as ABC. But now I'm having shivers up my spine cause next week I have to be on a bus going round KL. That is not a problem cause its the easy part. The thing is I have to do the commentary while the bus is traveling. Now that's the hard part. The people on the bus are real tourists. My knowledge of the roads, buildings, important sites, history and other relevant information about KL are at best 5 out of 100. Now, that's not good enough!

Labu Sayong

Originate from a place call Sayong in the district of Kuala Kangsar, Perak. In the old days used as a place to store water because of its coolness effect. These days they are more for decorations or souvenirs.

A new mouse and a Note

Finally I had to buy another mouse. The mouse I had just bought turn out to be a dud even though its new. The trouble is I bought it in Seremban. To go back to Seremban just to have the mouse changed is going a bit too far. So I decided to buy a new mouse. This one is okay. I'm using it now.

Samsung has come out with the new Note. I'm seriously thinking of buying it. I like the Note because of its size. This new one has got a compressor that's super fast, 1.6hz. When its in the stores, I surely will have a look.

Taking things for granted

As human beings we tend to take things for granted. For example I lived in Port Dickson (PD) for almost a year. During that period, I drove past the sea and the beach everyday but never bothered to stop for a swim. In my mind, I can always do it anytime I want since I lived here. After a year I was transferred to Klang. And guess what? After a few months, I came back to PD with my family for a swim and picnic by the beach. What an irony. One year in PD I never bothered but justs few months away, I brought my family back to PD for a picnic.

Only recently, I discovered there are so many things in KL that I never knew about. Sure I've been to these places but never knew its history or whatever. I take things for granted.

This is peanut

Never thought I would be in this situation again but I am. Assignments, homework, reports etc etc. They are all outstanding. They are simple enough but the numbers are increasing by the day. The more I procrastinate, the more they become. Anyway I know I can handle them Insha Allah. I remember when I was doing my MBA, it was even worse. We had to work throughout the night most of the time. This is peanut when compared to that.
