ark on ground

Morgan Freeman: How do we change the world? 
Evan Baxter: One single act of random kindness at a time. 
Morgan Freeman: [spoken while writing A-R-K on ground with a stick] One Act, of, Random, Kindness.
Living on your own at your own place, I wish I am these three things:
1. kick-ass guitarist
2. super-good at slacklining
3. smoker
The above-mentioned(s) adalah perkara-perkara yang boleh 'baik punyaaa layaaaaan' secara bersendirian sehingga tidak sedar masa berlalu dengan begitu pantas, sekaligus tidaklah terasa bosan sangat bersendirian, imho that is. Too bad that I suck at no 1 and 2, and not interested in no 3. So I find solace in this.
I have always wanted to do something non work related, after work. 
Blowing those work steam off after work.
Coming home to my loved ones after work.
Having a bunch of friends over after work.
Friends to bitch with about work after work.
To sing our hearts out after work.
To nonsensically run or jump around the neighbourhood after work.
To just chill, after work.
Reality check:
Geographically my friends are all over the place.
Their work-times (and sometimes mine) are all around the clock.
Some work way past office hour.
Some work over the weekends and public holidays, but not on weekdays.
Plus the need to rest and sleep so badly.
So I wish I am good at slack lining, or can strum my way out of boredom to at least 10 new songs. A good book will do too. Also, the origami and LEGO sets. There's always some DVDs have yet to be watched. Or cats that need to be bathe. Plants that need to be watered. Floors that need to be polished.
Contradicting myself, I now think it is funny how I could be that bored and restless to begin with. There are always things to do. There are always things to finish.
Boredom is laziness.

I want I want I want


POGO POLAROID

" People who have been lamenting the death of the Polaroid will find solace in it"


"At night they would go walking
'till the breaking of the day.
The morning is for sleeping..
Through the dark street they go searching
To see God in their own way
Save the night time for your weeping..
Your weeping...

God is in the houses and god is in my head,
And all the cemeteries in London
I see god come in my garden but I don’t know what he said.
For my heart it wasn’t open..
Not open..."

- Cemeteries of London by Coldplay

Holes in Pockets


My all time most favorite song by The Verve
Currently ear-locked to: The Verve. Coldplay. The Killers. Oasis. Jason Mraz. Jack Johnson (old). Latest addition - SO7. Thank God for good music. Good music burn holes in pockets but grow and flourish happiness into souls . Note: Imported CDs are not cheap, period.

Hello 2009! You've been nice so far. Nice is good but not good enough. Please do not stay nice. 2008 had been rather fruitful, went places, did stuff - all in the name of discovering oneself, aiceh. My 2009 is - "to stand in the curiosity of life. In surrendering control, you'll create a space for possibilities to enter and treasures to flow". Ayuh.. !

On more recent news, last Saturday was nothing but great. Butters 'gitar kapok' unplugged session at Istana Budaya was BEAUTIFUUUUUL (honestly, that's exactly how I'd describe the event), great lighting, the set up and everything else and of course, a bunch of good musicians on top of all that.. (standing ovation). 

Then few minutes of Sunday were spent with them:
