5th of August 2017It is been along time since the last time i write in this blog. Again my journey brought me to the same place where i wrote my blog previously.
Although the atmosphere is the same. The same chair, the same computer and almost the same time. But with me is a different feeling.
Earlier in this Saturday morning, i received a sad news. Someone that i knew, died. I don't quite mind about the death. It is a normal process. But died alone is something else. I did whatsapping with him a day before. Not sensing any irregularity. Not in particular. Although the content of conversations is more leaning to expressing his disappointment on the deal that he had earlier with the division director of the department.
Looking at what he been going through, i wonder if i may follow his foot steps. I am too aloner. There are many around me that i called as friends. Basically i just know them because of work. But none can be consider as best friend.
Only time will tell, as i am no longer young. Either i manage this situation. Or let the nature that it course.

14 May 2017
Its sunday again. And again i am stuck here between the duty of being with my love ones and doing something in the land of none but promises.
Hanging my mind in the balance between Alor Setaq and Jitra is not an easy feat for someone with complex personality.
Next week is a hectic week. Have to give a speech. Have to attend some meetings. Not to mention need to attend a function with certain dress code to be followed. No doubt it is an opportunity. But that is the least that i need at the moment. This mean no other than .... shopping.
No need to be uttered. Pekan Rabu and .... eh the only place that can help me out is ... Pekan Rabu. Need to buy some samping - a malay dress accessory that necessary to be wear with Malay costume or baju melayu.
But at this point, i am neither have energy to go to pekan rabu or elsewhere. Even my fingers seems to heavy to punch a key (on a keyboard)

I am back. Tweaking here and there this blog. Not my expertise. It is been along time since the last time i play around with webpage, computer and hardware. I start myself with geocities. So you can image how far back i did play with this thing. I managed to secure a hat featuring geocities logo on it from jaring. Now even jaring is seems not in existence anymore. Been overshadowed by TM.
Don't be surprise. I am not in Kangar at the moment. None cybercafe in Kangar attract my will to set foot there. Not sure why. I have the answer. Except i feel that answer should be kept within me.
Tomorrow is monday. Like any other monday, tomorrow is not different than previous. I can imagine it can be boring as boring as a horse in the stable. You have nothing. I mean there is nothing that can spark my inner self.
7th May 2017
Last night is the most unproductive day that i ever have. At least that what i thought it was. I woke up in the morning, packed my things and head out with my pian (Pian is the name of my car. I drove national PROTON Waja by the way. Most government servants are prune to buy national produced car. Our salary not permit us to buy expensive car. If not then, the abang besar will come knock our doors).
At first i thought just want to spend my time at Kriang Swimming pool. Suddenly everything changed. I went to Kedah's library just to found my frustration. It filled with students, reading, chatting. Not the library that i used to visit. Wandering around UTC just in front of the library. And soon my boredness escalating.
===========================================
30th April. Penang. I am in a cybercafe at Tanjung Bungah. Having a trip from Kangar late midday. Arrived at Penang late in the afternoon. Not sure what to expect. No thinking. I just feel i need to take a time off. Not sure whether i deserved it. But hell ya. I need it. So many in my mind. I need to take a rest. And start fresh at the day where all workers in Malaysia is given an appreciation day - labour day.
In between, i visiting Gunung Kriang swimming pool. Try some freestyle and my ordinary breast stroke. But things not went well as usual. My right knee feel lazy today. Plus some uncomfortable condition. I stop after the 4th lap. That covered 200 meter in length. I dont know is wrong with me. Almost everything i do today went 'not right'.
Check myself in at Burmatel through website.
===========================================
Burmahtel Hotel...
1st May. It is labor day. All over Malaysia celebrate it by doing ... literally NOTHING. Me spending my limited time at the same cybercafe somewhere at Tanjung Bungah Penang. I guess i am the only dinosaur here. Most of them here not even exceed 30. I am 42. The youngest are in their primary school.
Staying at Burmahtel is not bad at all. My first impression ... whadda hotel. Am i making a wrong choice here. From front, it looks old. It is like apek hotel with brothels, bitches and all about sex workers that you can think of. But it is not.
The smell. Well it smells. But not in a bad way though. It smells good. It reminds me how the hotel in my child days smells like. Of course it brings memories. In my school days, in once in a while my parent will brought us to a road trip. During that time we stay at some hotels. Caravan is not a trend here in Malaysia. Neither camping here and there although my parent used to be a boys scout and girl guides. Both of them are teacher.
As i said .. my time is limited. I need to get back to my rented room at Burmahtel. I have half an hour before i need to pay extra RM15. Not much. But still good money to spend. And i don't want to spend recklessly. There are so many things that you can buy with RM 15.

still learning about this blog shit. But bare with me. I will improve it from time to time.
