This been killing me this week. Thanks to 1000mg shots of ascorbic acid & caffeine. Burning the night oil has been pushed to the maximum. Pray that I will stay well until the end of final exam for this semester. Or else, pray hard my 24 years of intelligence to help me to bull shit on the sheets. Anyhow. Yours truly being vain by posting the attached photo for your viewing pleasure. Or not.

I am currently finishing up my botany & ecology assignment, submission today & tomorrow. 
Oh, btw, the LA clan were having the end of studio BBQ at Dataran Merah, HBP last night. It was full with glory, glory food; prawn, fish, crab, kebab’s, potato salad, etc. I ate like I”ve never eaten seafood before. Dang.

I just came back from a night out at Gurney with my fellow friend, angie and her 2 pakistani friends & another musican guy, doing a master on musicology. We had late dinner at Chili’s and followed up by hanging out at the jazz bar at the G, the infamous G-spot. I looooove the voice of Alyson Joyce. She rawk the place by singing mustang sally & billie jean (two thumbs up!). I still love the place, the G. However, the place crowded with people on weekend. Yep.
Anyway, I had an interesting conversation with the new acquaintance. A very deep and meaningful conversation over a ride from USM to Gurney, revealed my truly self. We were talking on the meaning of life and etc etc and the conversation leads to the main thing in my life that I try to avoid, and the weakness that I always try to ignore. He identified two things that will lead me to find the meaning of life: to be more expressive and to use my heart instead of the mind. Yep. I think a lot, and I am not expressive. I am, most of the time, trying to hide my feeling and emotion. He was good enough to trick me into realizing that I need to sort out my feeling in order for me to focus and to discover the meaning of life. A stranger, able to identify my main distraction in life in just a 20 minutes car-ride to the Gurney. That’s amazing. I guess he’s darn good in following his heart that he able to identify people like me that is a thinker, and lead a logical life. I shed all the fantasy and romanticm from my life so that I can lead myself towards my goal in life. He said that there are two ways to achieve the goal, to lead the logical thinking and life in which the road would be pretty much, logical, bleak and boring ( as he say) or to follow your heart in which you may or may not achieve the goal but when you look back, you will see a colorful journey towards where you are now. In a logical way, he is correct. But to lead life based on your heart is something so insignificant to me.
It got me thinking.
Another advice from him: to be expressive to someone. Or else, that someone will make yourself unfocussed with what you are doing right now. Bingo!
Maybe I should follow his advice?
Ah. I can’t sleep tonight. I can’t stop thinking about things. Or rather, someone.
Need to get that out of my system, pronto.
Fun facts for the last 2 weeks:
1. I am officially in love with 32 at the Mansion. I looooove the interior romantic ambience & the outside sunset chill-out spot. I looooove the garlic bread & the fresh oysters, sicilian seafood soup, chef-recommended roasted lamb, etc. Ah. Total dining bliss, so far.
2. I’m going to the nude art exhibition later in the evening. wooooh!
3. G-spot rendezvous this saturday? I hope the jazz singer still there.
4. I love bamboo rafting. coool eh.
5. I am way behind and accumulated assignment will bring a headache in the next few weeks. and yet, I am still procrastinating. I even too lazy to blog now.
6. last weekend was havoc. Studio work till 6 am, everyday.
7. I am craving for chocolate indulgence. Or espresso tiramisu. whichever come first in my mind.
8. I don’t know what my heart desire anymore. I don’t wanna be here or anywhere else i.e. KK, KL, etc. I wanna travel though.
i am currently at the belum rainforest resort, undergoing an ecology field trip as well as nature appreciation. To my surprise, its a 5star like resort in the middle of no-where, near thailand border with a lush rainforest at the back and banding island.
Oh i did bamboo rafting with the rest of the landscape architecture clan upon checking in to the resort. After a scrumptious grilled tilapia with sautee n potatoes (yummyyyyyyyyyyyy!), the General Manager of the resort brief us on the concept and aspiration of developing this place. Will blog again about it later (and to add in lotsa pictures as evidence). Then we went to the belum rainforest research centre where all the research on the place being conducted there, i.e. Dry and wet laboratories in the building.
The prof then brought us for a walk in the jungle, in the dark! Without any torchlight whatsoever. We were exposed to any adverse possibilities and uncertainty. Definitely an interesting experience, as he teaches us to blend with nature and try to listen to the song of the forest (and it’s dangerous animals roaming around us).
Anyhow, tomorrow it is anticipated to be more fun and thrilling jungle trekking and to one of the beautiful waterfront near to the Sungai Enam. Ok, slumber time.
P/s: i love the shower in the room!
