Juggling Lives

I welcome the holidays! Even though it's just short, but I welcome it more than anything that I've ever wanted! I seriously need this. I can't stand juggling two jobs. It is seriously making me depress every night. Maybe that's part of the reason why I've been so in a bad mood at my night job. But I'm still loving TP.

Everything's just so much fun in the morning - except maybe preparing for lessons. The staff is friendly, the people there are great, heck I've got great students too! This one time, one of my students came up to me outside of class and said to me "Mr Syaf, can you come with me please?" and I was like "Err... why?" The student then said "I want to show you to my friends" then I went "What?!" Haha! Teaching is such a great profession - now if only I could stay. But alas, I've got other plans for myself and my future. Improvements are vital to this beautiful life of mine. 

A Portview of Kampong Ayer

Took a one night leave from work lastnight and spent the night with the guys. I've been wanting to hang out in Bandar for awhile, especially since it's so peaceful there at night compared to Gadong. And since lastnight being a Saturday night, Gadong would've been extremely jam-packed. So we went to Portview for dinner.

Great place to hang out really - and the photo on the left side is a rare moment... mofo scratching santet's DS, playing a game. Wahahaha! I wouldn't be caught doing that... well okay, I kinda did that first - but I stopped coz I felt silly.

Eventually, we ended up in Gadong lastnight and hung out at the bean. We were right about how full Gadong would be. Almost 11pm, the place was still full of people. Thank God we were lucky enough to find a parking space right in front of the bean.

Torture in A Grave of Insanity

Something I just started. Check it out.

Torture in A Grave of Insanity

I'd like to thank you those who helped me out with it, even though it was a really long twisted and sick conversation which became even more twisted and sick as we went deeper and thought more about it. And I quote "Great minds are twisted" ... or something like that.

Let the madness begin.

What Makes 100%?

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Fresh Out of the Can

I've been letting working life (or more like lives) get to me. But now, after having a night off, and spending a great afternoon with friends just relaxing and hanging out - shopping even - I realised the thing I missed out the most - my happiness. And I keep telling people not to sweat the small stuff but forget to really stick that in my own head.

Saturday's a great day. Been pissed off a lot because of work, especially with the people at the night job. Amazing how you can be so nice to a lot of people most of the time then they end up forgetting what you've done for them. No wonder I'm picky with the people I hang out with. Still, life has it's share of ups and downs.

Although 2006 started out with difficulty and the need of major adjustments in my life, I'm glad that it turned out great now. I'm able to go to bed early, most of the time before midnight. I wake up early with no problems these days and I don't get that sleepy in the afternoons anymore. Above all, I'm picking up on life where I left it a year and two months ago. A full year of sleeping mostly at 6 - 8am is enough. My body clock is back to normal - or at least it's the "normal" that most people keep telling me about.

I feel like a fresh new me now.
Or maybe it's the haircut I just had?

In Search of The Stream

Am I doomed for the rest of this month till April? Work in the morning, another job at night, lack of sleep everyday... life feel's like a huge pile of mess, unhealthy definitely.

It's been awhile since I've posted a decent entry here. Inspirations just didn't come about too often and when it did, it was when I'm away from any means of writing materials. At most times, I usually have nothing to say. Now, I've got plenty. I just don't have the time to do so.

Just to quickly post what I'm trying to say before I forget, I'm having fun with both jobs actually but the fact that I'm not getting my proper sleep is bad.

So what do I do? Do what I always do - stop thinking and keep following the stream of life. Eventually, I'll be on a smooth ride - to heaven or hell, only God knows.

Don't sweat the small stuff Syaf.
But dammit! This isn't small! =D

Of All We've Known

It's 9 o’clock and it’s getting dark and I can’t see the road
I flash my headlights into the dark night
I swear we’ll make it on our own

We're older than we used to be
this town holds no more to see
we’re fading in, we’re fading out
until I hear you say

Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known

It’s 1 a.m. and we’re alone again, I reach out for the sky
My mind keeps playing all the words you’re saying
I’m always wrong when you are right

We re older than we used to be
This town holds no more to see
We’re fading in, we’re fading out until I hear you say

Come on, come on
Hey kid, this is far too important for you to understand
She says be a man, you know this is what we both wanted
It’s time for us to let go
of all we’ve known

Belated Tag

I'm running out of things to write these days. My life isn't particularly boring at the moment... although at most times I just spend the day sleeping till late afternoon, going to Taurean then off to work, but life is great nonetheless.

So, since I have nothing much to write about, I'll just drop some belated tag-replies =p
