What Simple Do

Chapter 1 – Lunch was at Kim Gary, it was not an excellent choice. I expect that the place chosen was somewhere that is quiet; away from the crowd where intimate conversations can take place. But no, Kim Gary was crowded to the max yesterday; our table was right near the entrance. So imagine the sea of people walking in, waiters & waitresses pushing their way through carrying trays of food, customers chit-chatting aloud…it was hard to hear each other and to concentrate :(
Then we watch ‘The Simpsons’. I love this dysfunctional Springfield family. The lines are always witty and the characters are entertaining & real. Homer Jay Simpson is such a lovable personality and a fun loser but what is admirable is that he always try his best in everything but of course his best doesn’t really match up to anything but not many real fathers have the courage to try :) It’s comical why Homer loves the pig in the movie so much yet he loves to strangle his notoriously naughty son Bart, dispirit his smart daughter Lisa and ignore his youngest child Maggie. Bartholomew Jojo Simpson is always memorable – in the movie he skates through Springfield in the buff; showing his doodle :) But there was also the missing familiar phrases – ‘Eat My Shorts’ and ‘Aye Carumba’. What is moving is that the family loves each other, stay together and grow together.
The highlight for the day was when we went up to the ‘Eye On Malaysia’. The city buildings were always in sight but the night view was not really that spectacular. I guess it’s because not many towers, buildings, skyscrapers was being lighted up. It was only the Petronas Twin Towers, KL Tower and the Istana Budaya. I can’t even see the Genting Highlands. The Arena Vision Light Show featuring 12 different light shows, program by a computer which was display through water screens at the lake look more awesome at the ground level than from the top. The light show is made possible through the use of sixteen 1200 Watt MSR light bulbs made in and specially imported from Italy. Overall it was one fun ride especially when it reaches at the highest peak. The fireworks display ends the night on a high note. The stars. Big stars, little stars, clouds of teeny tiny stars. The colors. The glorious wispy band of the Milky Way. The sparkling tinges of pinks, blues, purples, reds, greens, golds…details and textures of the night sky literally singing from the heavens. Glowing with unmistakable presence. Then it was dinner at the Starz; KLCC.
I think there are many areas that we need to work on, like The Simpsons – we still need to learn about each other, discover each other, grow with each other until we can find a rhythm that can keeps us going forward. I don’t foresee this to have a happy ending or even an ending. Nonetheless it feels great when someone open the car door for you :)

Work Tales - It bugs me to watch the industry happily going about its business. I feel like I’ve missed the bus or something. I watch Tommy, Nikolai, Juan, Celtic, Wyatt, Damian, Stavros, Eloise, Pierre Andre develop and evolve. Their folios getting bigger. Experience ticking longer. I really wish I can turn back time and un-mend the decision that I have make. I should have just said Yes to the First Triangle. Even though it was a final logical decision to join Haakon, I should have at least looked deeper and farther. After I left M13, things have gotten worst. It filled with emptiness and a lot of soul searching. I was tormented – yes TORMENTED to the point where if I took one more step, I'd be stepping on a land mine. I was trying to deal with a lot of issues. I don't think that it will ever disappear. And this is going to be a very long, tiring journey :(
