The Untold Stories

This is just another lonely night. Perhaps this is what my body is telling me to be. There are people that I could (re)connect with, technically. Like the ex-housemates, like the (ex)friends from uni, like some of you that I have made personal contact with, etc. But I don't feel like meeting people, or even talking to people. I am on Jack'D and I don't feel like even replying to msgs. Sometimes I even forgot I have Jack'D. When I was with my First, he liked to rent DVDs from those kiosks/vending machines sometimes but I liked going to the cinemas instead. I had never thought about renting DVDs until last weekend. My internet quota was almost reached, and I had nothing better to do. And so, in an effort to up my own mood a little, I decided to give it a try. I rented <<Kingsman the Secret Service>> and was surprised that it was on special, only costed me $1. The next day I watched <<Avengers...Ultron>>, costed me $2. Kingsman was more my thi...

We've been 'planning' (more like thinking) our end-of-the-year trip to South East Asia. Big drama (he said it was a 'discussion') over the weekend. I was so disappointed and upset when he answered yes to my question: 'So will you still go if I decided not to go?' I don't know what eventually made me to 'let it go' and to convince myself that he still cares and loves me. I think his answer did make me feel as though I was not important enough to make him change 'just' his travel plans. (Perhaps travelling is like a super important thing for some people?) I don't know. Just didn't like the fact that my feelings/well-being got ranked behind his travel plans. Anyway, since I chose to let it go, I might as well forget about what he did/we did on the weekend. We finally made some flight bookings just now. Some. Yes, some. Why? Because I think, it's a bit complicated with the way we are doing it. Not that I want to do it this...

Arrived this morning. First time flying with an Airbus (A330-300) to Sydney. Since the plane is made by a different maker, as opposed to Boeing which is usually the plane used for this route by most airlines, there are some differences. The lighting in the toilet is better, it makes you look better without revealing all the wrinkles and blemishes on your face, unlike the harsh lighting in older Boeing planes. The new A330-300 also has a bigger touchscreen display. Watched Gravity and Police Story (2004). Enjoyed watching Gravity, especially when I was so many kilometres above the ground. Quality of food served by this particular airline has been deteriorating. Flew with it over the last few years and it's all going downhill. Not to mention the quality of air stewards and stewardesses. Serious brain drain. LCCT is like a refugee camp, while KLIA is no better. International visitors are no longer favouring Malaysia as a prime destination, as evidenced by the lack of interna...

On our way home @SS2...not very nice leh Am feeling very very tired right now. Just spent 8 hours in the car today. Traffic was heavy but still moveable thankfully. Can't really do a proper summary for the happenings in the last few days. But I can say that the 'climax' of this CNY thing has passed. Despite the usual quibbles, which were rather harmless (i hope), i guess we were still enjoying each other's company. Dad and mum have to go back to work on Wednesday. A day before I leave for Sydney. Sisters have also left for work and study. So the remaining two days here would be quite quiet. Not planning any meet ups with friends either as they have also either left the town or haven't been back. As with most other families, there are some characters within the extended family that I don't really like. But I am glad that I did manage it well this year, by maintaining a friendly smile throughout. Paternal grandma's lucid moments seem to be di...

A chinese grocery store at the market Strangely, I am not feeling all joyful, definitely not in euphoria. Firstly, my routine gets disrupted. I haven't touched the book that I was reading since I came back, I haven't written a post till now, no gym, etc.... But isn't this what I wanted? To get away from the boring routine, and immerse myself in the company of family and friends? I get annoyed. There are frictions. We've developed our own routines and ways of doing things. I feel sad. I had dinner with my grandma the night I arrived. She's incontinent (not able to control her urination well). The following day when she saw me, she asked me when did I arrive. Clear sign of dementia. I know it's all natural. There's no way to reverse ageing. She will leave one day, just like my grandpa. I tried visiting her when I have the car, but there wasn't much that we could talk about. Next time when I come back again, she may not remember who I am an...

Flew to Canberra this morning on an ATR-72 Virgin Australia plane. It's my first time to be on a mini plane like this. Was feeling quite excited haha.  With my new 5s, I have this passbook app so I checked in online last night and had my electronic pass ready on my phone.  I proceeded straight to the gate and upon boarding, I only had to handover my phone, proudly, to the staff for her to scan. Not sure if she noticed its a two day old 5s! My baby!  Though it's a small plane, the seats were quite spacious. Two seats on each side. I got the window seat so I was able to capture a video when the plane took off! So cool. Always like the thrust and the take off.  Was a bit surprised with the complimentary snack, as I thought its just a short trip and they wouldn't bother to serve food.  Had a 'moosli' and a cup of coffee.  The Malaysian high commision was quite efficient. Had what I wanted done in twenty mins and walked a bit along ...
