the 'boar'ing year starts without boredom

A very Happy 'Boar'ing Chinese New Year to everyone!

So, how was your long weekend? Refreshed? Rejuvenated?

I have had one of the most wonderful weekend. Aside from not being able to follow my parents balik kampung, I'm fully utilised my freedom and got out and stay in as much as I needed.

My weekend included GhostRider (Eva Mendes, goddam gorgeous seh!!!! Argh!!!! tensi gue!!!), lots of lunch and breakfast conversations over lots of coffee, cigarattes and food. Clubbing, music, dancing and martinis. Poetry reading/book reading and meaningful conversation. A loud and crazy conversation with the Energetically Vocal girls minus Farisa (owh god Farisa, our loudness was decreased by 20% with the absence of you!!! and I can't use my word speed-o-meter la!!! I am SO MISSING YOU!!!). Lots of hugs and kisses from the girls. And sometime sitting next to Opah and talking to her. And of course catching up with my sleep and finishing a book, plus got hold on to more books and looking forward to finish them.

Thats like in a nutshell. The feeling is so much more.

And yes, sneaked out early this morning at 2.30am for coffee and roti bakar at brickfields with a friend and shared one of the most passionate conversation about life and career.

It should be a good wrap up to a great weekend. Even though I'm partially broke from not getting my pay yet. Hahaha. But murah rezeki, when you don't care about the money, it never seem to drain up from you. You'll always find way.

From the book I've finished, which my boss had lent me a couple of weeks ago, 'Writing Down the Bones' by Natalie Goldberg, I'd like to share a small excerpt from the book here.

Allen Ginsberg at Columbia University went up to his professor, the literary critic Mark Van Doren, and said, "How come you don't criticize work anymore?"
His response was, "Why bother talking about something you don't like?"

I think we should all take note on that, be less judgemental, more tolerant, as everyone has different opinions and its good, having variety of opinions. But, why wanna win over matters that you don't really like?

Have a great working day everyone. Friday is just around the corner.

And a special note to my blogger friends, I'd like to invite you all to Muid's (my brother) birthday party and the launch of his new website on Saturday, the 24th of February 2007, at galeriizu, 1st floor, Menara UOA, opposite KL Convention Center at 3pm.

Do feel free to join us, support my brother and also, just for the sake of me meeting you. You'll find me, somewhere laughing like a madcow among the crowd, or probably taking sometime off outside to contribute to the air and heath polution. Hehehehe.......
