i shan't be this nice to recruits anymore!!! man...
oh, how's everyone been doing??? :D
regarding the end of a bmt batch, everytime this happens i feel reluctant to let them POP. ok, this batch wasn't promising at the start, but after some whipping, they've become much better (at least they're decent now). they're passing out in 2 weeks time, rather quick, i must say...
anyway, my promised photos of malaysia:
some people in my extended family having a dinner in a sucky restaurant in taiping. there isn't much anything good to eat there, actually.
this is a snapshot of sleepy taiping. no, that isn't a ghost on the left (picture taken from behind car window)
town centre of taiping. see why my brother hates going back for chinese new year reunion.
but, for the peeps who can't get away from the internet, we've found a cafe with wi-fi!
it sells decent stuff. example:
a roadside kopitiam nested in a kampung, closed temporarily for the holidays.
another view of the town centre. it's actually crowded during peak periods.
i'd have loved to shoot melaka more, if i could stay longer. above is the famous famosa chicken rice ball stall in melaka. many asian celebrities have eaten there and shot photos with the stall owner... by the way, it's located on jonker walk (a touristy place which locals also do drop by at times). at night the buildings are lit with red light, very nice.
too bad i couldn't stop to snap stuff, was whisked off in search of a hangout jaunt to drink and listen to music by my dad (my idea), BUT he just HAD to invite one of my uncles and his ex-colleague around. they highly reccomended this cheesy outdoor kopitiam-pub with getai-standard singing. totally ruined my mood. URGH!!!!
in the end, my week-long malaysia trip wasn't as relaxing as i thought it'd be, i don't know why. i'm still stressed about work right now, maybe i have an obssession with making sure recruits' and my own friends/colleagues' welfare (meeting their demands and needs, basically) are taken care of and so i dig my brains out figuring what's best for everyone. the whole problem is mystified and compounded by a very messy scheduling. bah.
in spite of that, i'm still mentally sound, just troubled, that's all :) think things will clear up this month!
eh, utada hikaru's heart station is out! go listen to it. ok fine, to be objective, the average listener will find this a so-so attempt. but i <3 her, no matter her size.

busying myself with work and books. i don't know how far am i in achieving what i want, but the true way to happiness is to do away with expectations and desires, isn't it. sounds quite tempting, but i don't want to end up living like a pauper =\
if only our youth could be prolonged indefinitely.
