a walk in memory lane

through out my planning of my trip in penang. i never planned a single trip to Sg Ara. nothing to do there.....

but the day before i go back.... i went out with my fren to see the car workshop. the shop is so near to her place..... those roads that i drove pass.... feels like i'm having a vacation in penang to visit her... almost turned into the apartment...... reminds me of so many things...

when i was having a drink... every few minutes i was staring at the apartments....wondering if anyone is up there....is she happy recently.... did she find another guy that treating her well....etc etc etc...

then i head home.... make it simple..... the trip back to KL took me 8 hours.... twice the amount of time.... never been so long on the road before.....got so much time to take photos of my dashboard... the car infront.... the lorry bside me.....

all i get in this trip is serious FATIQUE...

after so many months

when was the last time i was in penang ? i guess it should be end of november last year 2007...
currently i'm in penang.. logging in @ starbucks E gates.

3 years in penang. all roads are just too familiar to me.. nothing had changed except the government. which doesn't have any affect on me at all at the moment.

why am i in penang? some say i must be missing previous relationship..... maybe that's true in certain point of view. but my main reason of going to penang is to settle the tax issue with the government. my past 2 submission is done in penang... everything is in penang.... and the governments are NOT WIRED... which means in KL can't access my stuff. unless i request it to move to KL... which is i did ask them TODAY... so that i dont' need to travel so far away just to settle the tax...

why tax ? i didn't read the instructions thorough enough... and i over claimed... so.. they are minusing my stuffs here adn there... but i have so much extra in the account.. so... i don't need to pay anything else... yup.. it's settled.... and tmrw will be golf day with my taiwanese friend johnny.

those roads in penang.... nothing is changed except my passenger seat is now empty.... not more liddle beside me when i drive...... that's probably what i missed 2nd when i got to penang.
managed to catch up with my friends from my last work place... had some lunch...

just take it like an off weekend... vacation... but costly vacation due to the reason that i got a speeding summon.....

no reservation

this word no reservation, reminds me of anthony bourdain in discovery travel and living channel.
it's a show about anthony going places trying foods here and there.

why do i bring this up... today i just watched a movie... downloaded again. not sure it has ever been screen in the cinema in my country. but it's a movie about food as well. staring katherine zeta jones. for those who knows me, i have alot of hots in cooking and eating, that explains my physical size.

that movie is one of the good movies that i watched so far, i've been supplied with almost a huge resource of movies but this one is really a movie that i really enjoyed.. probably it's food related.
it's a relaxing movie, no action, no thinking, no thrailer, just a plain love story that goes very well with food.

yupe, food talks this way.... this goes well with that.... balsamic goes well with garlics.... cheese goes well with panchetta..... :) this movie goes well with someone who loves food like me :)

go download the movie..... it's not a bad show...

after so long....

after about almost 4 months not contacting her..... finally we talked again... through out those months, i thought that i already put her aside... never wanted to look back... it was a good memory.... it was a good relationship as well but unfortunately.... fate ends it...

when i talked to her again, i don't feel anything, just a tiny bit of nostalgic feeling like old times.... but the problem arise when i started to talk to her.... i have dreams about her... night time dreams.... few days straight down....probably deep in my mind misses her quite alot that i don't realise....

then it's this meal that we suppose to eat.... i don't know why, probably i don't really able to match up with those that's too spontaneous. how do i make it ?..... let's say... when someone got effort to make it a good dinner, trying to make up plans.... but then the other side says we'll see after this meet up that meet up.... and just minutes before the meet up, she came tell u, she's eating with others.... is that call no effort to make it ? i guess it would...or make it this way.. it's in the blood....

but i shouldn't be bothered about it.... if a normal friend, i would have asked them way early if can make it or not... if can't come out.. at least i would have know way early so that i make my other plans.. if even last minute saying not feeling well etc.... i'll just be cool.... why do i still have so much effort on her ? am i still missing her ? or i'm still not moved on yet ?

it's crap to be myself.... empty, not moved on, lonely...hopefully whatever she said to me before it's true that things happen for a reason.. it might be an excuse for her to try something else.. but not for me... not seeing anyone.. trying to reboot my life... hopefully it is really someone else that really came into my life that changes me .... make me happy.... make me believe again....

another week

Another week had gone by.... my supplier/friend that came to malaysia had gone back to taiwan as well. i wasn't a great idea to have 2 week in a row not doing my original task in factory... but it was a fruitful week.

i realised something, i always complained that i'm bored, i have no plans, etc etc etc... but then this 2 weeks really packed with plans... so many that i almost daily sleeping at around 2 AM... waking up the next day for same thing.... it was seriously tiring...

i am currently thinking.... will i have the energy if i wished my days weren't that boring... packed with plans.... seriously think of it... i dun have the energy to do it daily weekly continous like what i did... 1 week is more than tiring enough...

what kind of life do i want ? how do i make my life more fruitful while not complaining boring... also not consuming my energy bar..... how how how ? if there's someone for me to love... that' even better :) at least i don't feel bored even not going out...

what do i want ?.......

Back from Taiwan

Finally, i'm back from Taiwan.... although the trip is short, but it's a relaxing and full of things to learn. my purpose there is to visit my supplier. as some of you know that my new product is a heavy investment from my company, thus there is not room for error.

my visit in Taiwan included 3 nights in Taipei and 2 nights in Tainan. 3 nights in taipei i stayed in some pretty hip hotel down in the middle of Taipei. while 2 nights in Tainan i stayed at a kinky Motel. why do i say kinky? check out my facebook for more pictures :)

this trip is a life changing trip for me. why do i say that, i met different people make me take life differently. most important, my supplier became my fren... the moment i picked me up from airport i know something is going easy between me and him. i was brought to places on his limited Subaru Imprezza STI 7 Spec C. this is limited in Taiwan. only 60 were sold legally locally in taiwan. of course there are people importing JDM models. but they are seriously rare.

the very important thing that i learn in Taiwan is that Taiwanese people does business very heavily rely on relationship. even my volume was little, my suppliers all treated me well, send me around and treated me dinner. fine dining as well... more pictures in my face book.

i did played golf in Taipei as well. the golf course sparked up alot of memories from the past.. past as in way back when i was studying in Melbourne. it was cooling, it was windy, the wind is strong enough to stop my ball in the middle of the air.

my friend/supplier good enough to bring me along to meet his fren, pretty enjoyable night i have in taipei before i leave the next day very very early flight that i have to hop on the taxi by morning 5.30AM.

normally i go taipei, i would shop for Mister Donut, i would shop at CD shops where the CDs are so cheap compared to here, also the shopping centre pastries are so good that not even Sun Moulin in Isetan can't match up. but all these i missed it due to my tight schedule. it was a good experience though.

hope i can get there again someday. :)
