I know somewhere out there, someone is having a worst day than I am. Nevertheless, I'm just gonna pen it down just to get it off me chest. It hasn't been like this for so long..... but it did. Maybe it's just a day, maybe it's gonna last the whole week. I don't know, and I don't care........
Most of the things happen were just petty things, but maybe it's just me who's getting unreasonable and impatient. Is it the age catching up......?? For starters, interesting things happen in the morning. Started bright and cheerie, turned to sourness just because I don't have a 'proper' or 'serious' job just like anyone else. Then, had to decide where to go to work, even when I've decide where I wanted to go. Then, had to walk 5km to another place to 'work' ......... Then, skipped lunch and did a 'Yellow Ribbon Project' till 5.30pm. In the evening, went to 888 in Woodlands to buy food...... the farking aunty busy talking and forgot about my curry puff!! Bodoh punya makcik!!! Melayu kalau dah kaya, dah pandai, jadi sombong, macam CHAMPION!! Then went home, eat bread. ALHAMDULILLAH!! Reached home safely.
Now, gonna sleep. Fark you all!!
p.s. - don't worry..... it's just me. Menses lah!!

HARI RAYA MEMORIES
Many years back, when I had the time to do some visiting to friend's house during the festive season. We would go out in big groups, taking turns to visit each other's house. I remembered clearly about an incident in one of our friend's house, who's a girl. She was a mutual friend who was dating one of my mates. I remembered she had a very strict father and when we visited her house, her father was literally interrogating all the guys.
Well, I actually remembered clearly her father's conversation with me.
Father : You with the 'mop' hair!! (that time, I had dreadlocks) : What do you do? Are you even working?
Me : Yes, I am a DJ ( I said proudly) I work in Bangkok, and I'm back for Hari Raya.
Father : DJ??...... hahahahaah (the kind of laughter that you'd get from The Count in Sesame Street)
(We all looked surprised and puzzled at his response.... then he continued)
Father : Please la, boy. That's not a job. That's like "kerja main-main" (playful work). : Better go find a proper job. How are you gonna marry someone and feed someone's daughter??
Anyway, that was long ago. In fact, there have been many people who has the impression of my work as "main-main" (playful). Maybe, due to the nature of the job scope, the environment and the people around us. I've never given much thought about it. However, this 'kerja main-main' has helped me put a roof over my family, help feed my family and many others, brought me halfway across the world and experience things that many could only dream of.
Looking back at 'that' friend..... she actually married a teacher. Unfortunately, their marriage didn't last long, and last I heard, the marriage failed due to each other's high expectations and living above their means. As for me, I'm fortunate enough to still be able to roam freely without any restrictions, commitment nor bind-ed by any contract, without involving other parties. That's how things is for me, a Sagittarius. Like the book of Astrologers said - let the stallion gallop freely, for it will return home when he is not saddled.
The moral of the story is .................. don't eat too much rendang and ketupat during hari raya, coz your mind will wander to places you don't want to be.

Here's something to wonder and ponder, if you get the answer, try and Holla! Maybe I'll get a burger to buka puasa......... Anyway......
What if the YOG didn't cost as much as it was reported?
What if the public outcry is to show the world and Singaporeans, how prosperous the ruling government is, and their capabilities of managing the people.......?
What if the amount reported is $400 million of the taxpayers money, but actually it was only $40 mil?
What if the rest of the money is to be channelled to to cover the losses from unsuccessful investments by the ruling party??
What if the money is to be used for the coming elections, government payouts and renumeration to the world's most highest paid ministers?
Too many 'what ifs'.......
On the different note, when elections come, I'm still voting for 'them'........ I don't want 'them' to come after me and ask payments to things that I don't remember exists. THe best thing is...... only them have the paper proofs. It happened once, it can happen again.
Maybe the new voting slip should have just the barcodes instead of the serial numbers. In that case, people won't realise that their votes are being monitored.

Something just triggered my mood and spoilt it. Had to take a break from work coz I can't think anymore. Maybe the course of my work and what I do, it looks like a 'playful' thing. It's not a serious job. Serious means being corporate and dealing with multi-million dollars, whereas, DJ equipments, entertainment, talents..... are just 'toys' and playful things. Its true that I don't make millions but I'm grateful that I could give my family a decent living. I don't owe people money or favours, nor have hatred in anyone.
Sometimes it is easier to blame others for any problems that come onto you. It's kinda natural that we prefer not to look at ourselves first. Being said that, let me take the responsibility and absorb the faults of others. It's not gonna make me any more or lesser rich, nor I give a shit! If mis-communication is the base of all separations, how about communication - which mostly taken out of context, just to aggravate sourness.
Through time, I've learned to keep my mouth shut and just observe. Through time, I've learned to speak the truth even if it hurts, especially to love ones. Through time, I've learned that it won't hurt as much if it was taken in an open mind and not specifically targeted at a particular being. Through time, I've learn to forgive and learn........ for the sake of love. Through time also I learned that one speaks of something but feel and meant the opposite. If you're not confused yet, you're definitely a better person than I am. That means, I'm just like the rest....... imperfect.
Many a times, I heard a conversations between couples that goes like .....
women : you're not single anymore. whatever you do will affect us as a couple. there are some things you should change........
man : for the sake our our future, I'll make do my part.......
months later......... after some changes and a different level of commitment.
women : you're not the man I knew.........
man : the man you knew were single, free and uncommitted........
bear in mind that these conversation is not directed or has got nothing to do with anyone, any situations at any time. It's just something that passed my mind few years back.
In conclusion, best friends should be able to take criticism and talk about finding solutions together instead of leaving it to follow where the wind blows. In time, it will fly far away that it'll get lost and never find its way back. Shit happens too many times.

So....... it's finally here, in Singapore, en-route to Australia for another trade show. It came directly from Ibiza after being tested by all the DJs in Pacha, Space and Amnesia. All gave very positive feedback. Currently, I have it in my studio. Decided not to open it nor test it. This time, I'm gonna let the others do it........... Not that I'm lazy or so, but, there's too much whining from 'some' people that they don't get to get a feel of the new stuffs. So, there you go.
Somehow I find it very funny...... irritatingly funny. Few weeks back, they claim that the product is 'nonsense', can't sell, bla, bla, bla......... then, when they heard it's here, all want to have the privilege to showcase it to the community. I bet you they gonna bitch about it when other products come in........ that's how it works here in Singapore.
In the meantime, don't ask me how it works or how good this is......... I don't know. When I'm ready, I'll post the video. Kapisch?!
