the hermit...

yeah i know...i should start actively update this blog with the everyday happenings be it irrelevant, stupid or downright boring hahaha.

okay, went for a drink last night since today's gonna be a public holiday. mind you, i haven't been drinking as much as i used to nor have i been going out. i brought my camera along in case a photo opportunity arises for me to use in my line of work as an inspiration. so there i was at my usual waterhole, still in my office attire and all alone taking random pictures while being glanced at strangely by the crowd. the hell with what they thought of me, i couldn't care less...i mean, if they have something against a (good looking) guy drinking all by himself at the bar counter with a camera in his hand, just know that it takes more to be alone by choice rather than be a pretentious idiot who thinks being surrounded by people they barely know is a cool way of gaining fame hahaha.

nothing much was gained in the lone quality time, except for that one interesting brief episode which eventually hinted it was time for me to head home. here's the approximate re-enactment of the episode:

guy: ko sendiri kah?
me: ya...
guy: ko photographer kah?
me: bukan...
guy: sa rasa ko mimang photographer, sebab beberapa kali suda sa nampak ko ambik2 gambar sebelum ni...

yeah, that got me wondering...it has been quite a while since i last did any street photography myself...

me: yakah, ko silap urang tu, sa baru jak belajar bergambar ni...
guy: ndalah, sa tau ko tu...

*i think i gave him a disgusted smirk...

guy: ko ambik gambar kahwin kah? buli juga ko ambik gambar masa wedding sa nanti...
me: nda lah, kan sa bilang sa baru jak belajar bergambar. tapi kalau ko mau, sa buli tulung rekomen photographer lain lah...
guy: ko jangan rendah diri sana bah, sa tau ko buli tu jadi photographer..

*okaaayyy...i was in the mood to be alone, and i don't appreciate strangers making small talk with me...

me: sepa nama ko tu?
guy: wan
me: wan, ko celebrate raya kan? *had to ask, he looked like a Malay...
wan: ya, napa?
me: selamat menyambut bulan ramadhan *was hoping he would get the sarcasm and leave me alone...
wan: tenkiu...ko cinakah?
*damn it...how stupid can a person be...
me: bukanlah, campur. ermmmm...pa ko buat sini time bulan ramadhan?
*enter sarcasm again...
wan: tedalah juga, saja rilek2 sma kawan...
*with that remark, i kinda laughed...cos i realized i could be an ass with my next question...
me: rilek-rilek aa *laugh*, ermmm...brapa hari ko nda buli pi masjid lepas hari ni? *enter evil laugh*
wan: ishh, jan ko gitu bah (and joined in the laughter...idiot)

he started talking about stuff which i don't quite remember because i kinda blocked him out from my head..only after awhile was i kind enough to entertain him for abit...

me: sa mau balik suda lepas minuman sa abis ni..
wan: awal lagi bah, baru pukul 11 bah ni *while pointing to his wrist watch
me: tapi jam sa bilang masa untuk pulang suda *while pointing to the non-existent watch on my wrist

me: sa rasa kawan ko sna boring suda tu...*another hint for him to leave me alone
wan: ya kan..nanti sa datang balik
*klu ko nda datang pun nda apa...i thought to myself...

the moment he left, i quickly finished my drink and quitely left the bar hahaha.

when i got in my car, it suddenly dawned on me that....IT TOOK ME 4 LARGE BOTTLES OF BEER TO GET DRUNK hahahaha. gosh...i am getting old :)

life is good...ciao peeps :)

i'm all good hehehe

my five nights of continuous booze binging has finally taken it's toll physically...i've mentioned in my previous post that i've been fighting the onsets of getting the fever and i thought if i get drunk and ignore it, my body would heal naturally. yeah, i know it doesn't make sense, just wanna see for myself the effectiveness of the so called placebo effect hehehe. the conclusion: since i haven't gotten the fever, i must say it is quite effective..but it all depends on how strong your mind is in tricking your own body hahaha.

for the past five nights, i dare say i've been enjoying myself. the drinking sessions has helped alot in dealing with the demons within (yeah, i drink, get tipsy or drunk, go home and head straight to bed hehehe). before you peeps start jumping to conclusion, lemme assure you that i have yet to be an alcoholic..i drink to divert all those unwanted thoughts away, i know it doesn't solve the problem..but it sure is a temporary relief to the tired mind :), but last night was definitely the cherry on the topping...i went bar hopping and i had a blast!!

i started out at @Bar alone (yeah...what's new? hehehe), and after having a chat with a prominent stranger (that's one thing great about @Bar, the patrons are civilized people and not rowdy as in most bars, having a chat over the bar with anyone including strangers doesn't feel awkward at all), i decided to join my cousins and friends over in Blue Note at Shangri-La's Tanjung Aru Resort. the last time i was in this place was more than 6 months ago, and although i've heard they made some changes to the place..i never expected it would be way better than before!! hehe. We didn't stay long though and adjourned to Rumba in Le Meridien.

I didn't plan on going there, okay maybe i did hehe, i was supposed to meet up a fellow PR worker there but decided to cancel at the last minute..well, if i knew i was going there anyway i wouldn't have made that call. Good thing i had the decency to call and inform her of my sudden change of plan hahaha.

i had a blast there, not because of the crowd but because i was happily snapping pictures with my friend's new Canon D60...it was a lot better than mingling around hahaha. we stayed there much longer than we did at Blue Note, and since it was nearly closing time...the group decided to head to Razz Ma Taz as their final destination which i only joined for less than 30 mins cos i was quite drunk by then and the place reeks of smoke hahaha.

why the hell am i telling you peeps of my booze escapades?!! geez hahaha. anyhow, what i really wanna share with you is what i did today :). i'm not sure if i've mentioned this in my previous blog..but i've gained weight! i've been trying to look for a sport which i can play and doesn't bore me, i refuse to do jogging cos it's boring..i dont have a badminton or tennis buddy (not that i'm any good at it hehe) and golf is too expensive! haha...so when a couple of friend suggested i should join them for a game of ultimate frisbee, i thought to myself "what the heck, might as well go for it", besides, i needed to get rid of the hangover.

okay, i thought this game was your typical throw and fetch kinda game and boy...i couldn't be more wrong! it takes stamina and agility to play it!! haha. the last time i had this much workout was few months back during my weight losing stint (which i did manage to lose 9 kgs in three weeks hehe).

i think i was a natural in the game (what can i say, i have this natural ability with any sports related with the using of the hands hehe, but i wish i had the same sportsman stamina 3 years ago before i got lazy and fat huhuhuhu). lemme put it in layman term, the game requires ALOT of running around hehehe.

i would love to explain more on this game, but i think you peeps should try it out yourself. For more details on the game schedule, please go to Sabahbah.com, this group is looking for more people to join in and make it a challenging game :). Don't be shy to join, they're really fun and friendly people to be with! Hey, i had fun and made new friends..this may be the game i might be very good at (aside from basketball and martial arts hehehe).

ps: gonna start doing my endurance training for improved stamina and to get rid of this beer belly. it's time for me to regain my slim lean physique 3 years ago hahaha, and i'm getting a new phone soon, which means no more spending money on booze until end of this month huhuhu. then again, if i am serious in losing weight and getting rid of the belly, i need to quit drinking for the next few months...damn it..but i think i can manage :p.

Just got back from watching 'Mirror' with Mel and Yo, good stuff peeps..you might wanna check that out :).

goodnite peeps :)
