Borodin Quartet at Petronas Philharmonic Hall

July 24th, 2008

The new season of orchestra is coming. I’m planning to go for the performance on 17 August 2008.

If you are interested, please leave a comment here even if I have spoken to you personally. It’s easier for me to count the heads.

Random thoughts

July 24th, 2008

Some random thoughts on my mind currently.

Just came back from my flute practice. It was the 3rd class since I started the lesson last Wednesday. It feels good while I was on the way to the music school. Because I know something is waiting for me to achieve. And every step I take will bring me closer to a bigger achievement.

Isn’t life is the same? Life without purpose is difficult to live. “But have you found your purpose in your life?” you may ask. I’m sorry to say that, NOPE. I’m still searching for it. Hope I will find it soon.


My flute class is on every Wednesday. And the day before that Kah Wai asked me to go for an international screening at Pavilion. But at the same time, I need to practice before I go for my flute class. So I was forced to make a choice. At the end I have to turn Kah Wai down.

If I decided to go for the movie, I will upset my teacher because he will know that I didn’t practice. If I didn’t go for the movie, I will upset Kah Wai as she wanted to go so badly. No matter which one I choose, I gain something and I lose something.

I guess life is the same, you can’t have everything at the same time. It’s just like making 2 glasses of water out of a single glass. Each will get only half.


Enough about life. Let’s talk about a problem most of us are facing, weight control. At this critical age plus my lifestyle plus my working habits, it’s not difficult to gain an inch or two under my waist. And when I say it’s not difficult, I really mean it.

It takes a lot of time and determination to keep in shape. And once you are off the track for even the slightest period of time, you are back to ground zero.


Today, I was having arguments with Kevin (on the way going home) and Cheng Lam (over msn) at the same day. I was being sarcastic all the time. I guess I just can’t speak out what was really on my mind. And I will keep saying something I didn’t really mean it and most of the time that makes the conversation worst.

Maybe the problem is not about the context but about my mindset. Anyway, I’m learning how to stop being sarcastic. I’m sorry to Kevin and Cheng Lam if I was over reacted.

Weekend report

July 21st, 2008

It has become a habbit that every week I’ll blog about what I did over the weekend.

The more I blog about these materialistic weekends, the less I write about what I think and how I feel.

Posting all those pictures of things I did and places I’ve been aren’t going to make people understand me more. And I always believe that words stay in the memory longer than pictures. But of course pictures are more interesting than words.

Who cares. I’m going to do it anyway. So here it is, the weekend report of the week.

Friday, went to Zouk for the launching of Onitzuka Tiger.

Couldn’t find a good spot so have to stand beside the stage. Too bad they don’t serve free flow drinks. So we went back at 12AM because nothing much to do.

And I shot this picture while on the way back.

Saturday night. Went for dinner at La Bodega, Pavilion.

La Bodega menu

La Bodega Bar

With Ted and Jenn. Both of them keep doing exercise (because of pressure from each other) and now they are so slim. Jealousnya…

Jenny

La Bodega serves very nice Mexican food. Too bad the ambiance very dark and I couldn’t take any good shot of the food.

I ordered this drink.

Lemon Lime Bitter

It’s lemon juice + lime juice + a little alchohol. Very nice.

La Bodega Tapas

This so called Tapas thingy is something like side dishes to eat with the bread. Very very nice.

La Bodega desert

That’s the desert, ice cream, puff and some sauce. Not that nice.

Sunday is as usual, went to 1U for movie with Kah Wai, Okui and OBK (Suprise suprise, he joined us). Watched a Japanese movie called Fourteen. Introduced by Kah Wai. It’s an independent film and it’s a story about the revenge psychology of fourteen-year-old teenagers. It turned out to be quite good but Okui and OBK got bored because the movie is very subjective and it has no background music or sound effect at all.

P/S: Oh, not forgeting to mention about my car. The ignition coil spoiled and I had to change the whole damn thing for freaking RM800!!!
